Rebuild Your Border
My heart goes weary; shrinking, 
I can't think right. 
My thoughts float sinking, 
It won't go filming delight. 
When all we build for all, 
Break into pieces and flew in dust. 
We wish but it...

Russia's losses have been greater with their Ukrainian invasion
Compared to nine years in Afghanistan, another miscalculation
Many towns and cities in Ukraine are now being taken back
As Ukrainian defenders launch, a devastating counter attack.

Premium Member Finding Marbles
Strewn to the floor he collected his marbles and memories

Had played for hours as a child with his friends in the flat

Passed innumerable hours never bored always enthralled

Abraded by wear of near instant replay nostalgia...

Madison's Tears
Virginia, June 8, 1789
James Madison penned the constitution
And on December 15, 1791
It became America’s resolution

The first amendment clearly states
No abridging of the freedom to speak
We may assemble peacefully
With either praise or critique

Facts gathered respectfully
Researched and...

We Need Another Kingfish
Lousiana, we've been behind in everything for way too long.

We need another leader like Huey P. Long.

To grant Louisiana's economic wish we need another kingfish.

Cost of Doing Business
Planes crash...
Cheaper to kill
Than fix a problem
That costs $600 a plane
Do you think our values are ill?
Are we all just insane?

The fault merely lies
In cheaper employees
Training incomplete,
Cost of correcting??
Well then,

The Bird Box
It’d been a long day at work
So he sat in the sun
Enjoying the beer he’d earned
The day finally done

When a persistent peep
Interrupted his dreaming
And he started from sleep

A lip that curled and an attitude that said

A brutal beast wrapped in a cloak of deceit.
A grandiose idealist with evil intention.

A shameless rapist of intellectually rigid minds.
An artful ruler of schism.

Sonorous, saporous symphonies: strong;
soothingly spirited, sublime sweet songs.
Satisfied sigh, sees salubrious springs;
sharp, sizzling sunburn scream: saltwater stings.

Searing sharp satirists, snarkily snide;
subtle smart sophists show soft, specious side.
Skimpy, salacious shows sell sexy spice;
somber, sad serials scarcely...
