It's a day that will live on and haunt history,
When a once proud nation, took a leap back in time.
As millions placed their bet on a fat felon,
While a red wave washed away any crime.
Sadly, the majorities' voice was muted, as it
Whispered quietly all the way to the polls.
Where a fraudulent felon convicted a country,
To an incarceration term with heavy tolls.
What's been spoken of in the message is penal payback,
And its vengeful talons are in a Project 2025.
Now those of conscience easily warn of its folly,
As the puppet masters quickly turn to those alive.
This is a turning point in the ledger of liberty,
When the electorate turned its back on reality.
But if I dare to look forward and prognosticate...
We'll bear witness to social and cultural chastity.

Phil was a philatelist.
And he gave out a stamp quite rare,
To family and friends, his philanthropy knew no ends
But that was not the affair,
For Phil was also a philanderer,
He dated Phylis every second night,
But what caused the distress was his wife caught the mistress
And so Phil ended up in a terrible fight.
Phils family and friends were furious,
Yet Phil was not contrite
He played his game without any shame
Guess who will be sleeping alone tonight
So the philosophy of this story
If indeed there is one I could advocate
Would be try to become a philologist
Or like Phil you might get an ending you didn’t prognosticate

TV Psychics
By: Tom
2-2-2020
Television psychics want our money to prognosticate,
when only God sees the future and determines our fate.
If we think some psychic can tell our future from afar,
it shows little intelligence and just how gullible we are.

Looking into the black crystal
I prognosticate;
the future unrolls
as a sheet of silk.
Swirling, curling, unfurling;
auric waves pin wheeling
in the blackness
of the stones heart.
Energies tickle my skin
soul-melding transmission beamed
through my all-seeing eye;
I am terrorized, traumatized,
elated and mesmerized.
In visions of a future, bleak
tiny happy diamonds peep
through occlusions both
shallow and ever so deep.
Black crystal tells me,
all is not lost, but for our ills
we must pay the cost.

Dancing crystals bobbing in the air;
Crystal balls for fairies to read the future;
They’ll prognosticate, magically bringing the
future to their world.
The green wood fills with,
glass eyes that see ahead and stories build.
There’s never a boring second here,
only adventure for those who dare to dream big.
Fairy gifts are special,
they give to man and beast alike,
for fairies are an order of angels;
elemental artists.

Moments of Grace
Heart racing like a tapping of feet
Different footfalls an erratic beat
Breathing laboured lungs complain
Ominous signs anxiety threatens again
Prognosticate but you could be wrong
It was only a note not a classic song
A request for just a soothing melody
Becomes a soul searching symphony
Gone this feeling of impending doom
Locked away in some no exit tomb
Thankful for every therapeutic space
But Oh what joy those moments of grace

Let me see if I can prognosticate
The important events of your day.
Hmmmm!
I see you lying in bed and slowly waking up,
Then it's a quick trip to the bathroom.
Yeah, you’re brushing your teeth now.
Looking good so far, UH OH....
Suddenly it hits you like a brick! ...
Oh my God, I'm hopelessly in love with him!
You rush to the refrigerator
For the emergency Dr. Pepper
That you have hidden
Way down in the vegetable drawer.
You take a hit and are astounded to realize
That your robe of solitude has gone missing?
Suddenly you are naked in my arms
And I am touching you, kissing you
Everywhere the sun ever shone
And some places it hasn't....
Sound about right?
Aren't you glad you are keeping those extra
Dr. Peppers on hand these days? : -)
I am sorry but after that my heliometric axis
Was so convoluted
That my apogee aligned itself with Mars
And all I remember are surges of ecstasy
Washing over me like waves on your ocean.
After that everything goes black......!
On the whole though,
It was a very nice day, don't you think?
I know I wouldn't mind doing it again! ?
How about you? How’s that grab you babe?

The limits of which you speak
Have gathered upset underneath
Pens that prognosticate
Stolen imagery, a thieving magpie
Dreams her dark blessing
She has no care for truth
Her only penchant is exposed
Writhing worm food arteries
Blood dangles from her beak
Binoculars address a signpost firmly
Capturing a prosaic ring tone
That reminds you what day it is
Simulated law school cases murmur
To falter or plunder, echoing newsreels
Raising family beacons asunder

On the banks of your life
Doubt fixing you offshore
A gripping beast never quits feeding
On dreams hungry for more
To ask yourself questions
Are they answers you know
Always precipitously trying to learn
You justify with the flow
Will you see your opening
Pushing your given chance
Do the beasts raptly glower into you
Or escape a second glance
Whenever you travel alone
How will you pull through
Who has mind to deftly prognosticate
Just what a beast will do
Seeing beyond your corner
Most importantly learning
You discover the ideas of everything
What above life may bring
