Mamdani-Trump when played cricket,
Trump opted, full of hate to bat.
A few Yorkers were forked
Out, and Trump was New-Yorked!
Which, opened for him a flood gate
Of setbacks-- quite a few--
By taking not a clue,
Would he invite destiny's date?

Note: Not only Mamdani as New York mayor, but a few other democrats/socialists won against republican candidates supported by Trump. His own approval rating also dwindling fast. Public demonstrations against his policy measures, court rulings against tariffs, and more. Would he complete his four-year term?
In chambers calm as autumn air,
She weighs the truth with quiet care,
No pride to sway, no voice to mar
The justice drawn from near and far.
The papers rest, the gavel sleeps,
Yet in her soul, a stillness keeps—
A stream of mercy, clear and deep,
Where law and love together seep.
She walks the woods when day is done,
Through leaf and bough and setting sun,
Her children’s laughter in her ears,
Their joy a balm for all the years.
The river speaks in ancient ways,
Of loss and strength and kind delays,
And she, who bears the robe and pen,
Feels kin to trees and not to men.
She reads each fact without disguise,
With empathy behind her eyes,
No hatred leans, no bias bends
Her rulings from the truth she sends.
Her friends are few but fierce and kind,
Their roots grown deep, their hearts aligned.
She does not speak for praise or fame,
But for the law, and each child’s name.
Through sacrifice her path is sown,
Yet never does she stand alone—
Compassion walks beside her feet,
And in her heart, all virtues meet.
Andrew Cooper farmer of the land, of Croyde Devon; in old
England decided he'd plough some fields again? as the sun was shining through the English rain, yet some eco-loonies including a judge? hit him with fines and orders and they don't want to
Want to budge.' O K he remted it to the relic's archialogical
Whatsama-thingammy..Cant deny it' and he took a fee' twenty
Years went past, now surely he can till? again.? At last!! No
Mention of a clause; or legal waiver, .' I'd say to farm again is
His right and favour.' Old England will benefit' the people all
Round need the crops to go into the ground.' A balance is
Great between preservation and farming.' Yet this is an
Imbalance. And most alarming in a time of Brexit and
Challenge of change a nations interest are more relevant
And this injustice must be changed.! Give ear to reality, and
Allow the wheat to grow, as in ww2 the fields need to be sown i am with Andrew.! (the Coope-rman)of Croyde Devon,! may he live long and hale to continue farming that land.!
Benji practices genocide
Brave new Isreal has sick laws
Is Isreal thinking rectified .
Benji thinks he is glorified
Death is a singletree- the kill nods
Benji practices genocide .
Harris loves Isreal -verified
Harris on housing I applause
Is Isreal thinking rectified.
Trump supports Benji -clarified
He think he does that for a cause
Benji practices genocide .
Stop electric car laws-petrified !
Stop outsourcing I give applause.
Is Isreal thinking rectified?
Many more not identified,
They think that their laws have no flaws,
These leaders rulings I deride ,
If they change-I am satisfied .
A fable of worth weaves a fair tale,
that wealth possesses and not possessed.
A quest to feign means forges a trail
long jaded by the marks they unveil.
Though blind seeker's minds a treasured chest.
The hope for glory gloats jealousy,
the more the merrier, too cliche,
counting amounts to a specialty
until idle growth reels entropy.
Insignificant be, sensed doomsday.
While the moment ill-timed takes pleasure
as imbalance shortchanged one's fortune.
Debt collectors knock at their leisure
of court rulings, list your worth's measure.
It is beyond the call of margin.
Though street level, not truly gutter,
err midst a fool lacks austerity.
Low-life address as a deal cutter
a debt paid in full hangs aflutter.
A world minus dreamt prosperity.
It’s Flag Day, so Justice Alito,
Your flag pole can’t be incognito,
So try to be true
To the red, white and blue;
Keep it upright, or you’ll feel the heat-o.
If your wife sets that banner to flying,
There really can be no denying
That its upside-down stance
Means there isn’t a chance
That your ignorance claim isn’t lying.
For a judge who presides on the court
Should be able, with ease, to abort
Plans that fly in the face
Of decorum, in place
So his rulings won’t somehow fall short.
One side confirmed
From the beginning
In the middle, towards the end
Versions, two levels
Expectations, disappointments
Devastating conversations
Which is to be determined
Non-communication.
The story was told
The real issues avoided
Reasons to be acknowledged
The story is renewed
The details are so intense
Misled in contempt.
Rulings took place
A disgrace
The real truth lies beneath
Hidden deep below the feet
Uncovered, undiscovered
The story must be told.
Twisted up to a standard
Measured beyond
Just to tare down.
The story.
Note of encouragement,
In silence, one side of the story is being told.
But, the truth will reveal itself one day. Often times
negativity and envy are involved, just to tare one down. Be of
great encouragement. Staying Positive and forgiving is best.
All will be okay.
What happened to those days of old
when life was simple- tried to hold
a clearer grasp of right or wrong-
with outlined paths to move along?
Of goals created to live by
with aims to lift us up to fly
without restrictions to impede
the search for honor in each deed?
More complex now are blinding roads
that lead to choices with no codes;
old fashioned rulings cast away
by some who say they're in the way.
In days of old, more freedom rang;
for true, free speech and choice we sang.
Now backward steps reverse that course;
our Founding Fathers- in remorse.
If only we could merge the two-
fine yesterdays- some current, too;
entwine those best that feed the soul-
and keep our human spirit whole.

I'm no legal expert, I'm the first to say
Nor do I live in Israel, though I'm a citizen anyway
But it's hard to watch a proposal tear my country apart
So I'll write a few lines here, straight from my gut and my heart
What if Congress could overrule the US Supreme Court's every decision
It seems a surefire path toward unprecedented division
Imagine Roe vs. Wade subject to Congressional wrangling and supervision
The resultant laws, a recipe for chaos, scorn and derision *
So, that parallels what's been proposed in Israel's judicial revisions **
~ likened to an axe making the finest of incisions
__________________________________________________________
*With every change of power in Congress, (almost every election these
days), Roe vs. Wade would be revisited and redecided. Heaven help us!
**By a majority vote of Israel's Parliament (Knesset), Israeli Supreme
Court rulings could and would be overturned. (And with each shift in
the ruling majority's composition, a fresh round of overturning could
and would begin).
Seldom has the heart gnome
Where it's going it's continue beatings
Ever fleeting life keeps on in treating
I envision with my ears I fear I see in my dreams
The divisions and screams of the enemies
I am divertive in the cohesive rulings and depraving
I am just a sinner saved by grace misbehaving I am not
Not embarrassed I am in Mercy of Grace saved by Christ

Totally free,not one day a year, but each.
Don't follow treacherous rulings, I beseech.
Get online, go yourself,health
matters you must teach.
Toss and fight bogus fears.
And the "lie"that freedom is near"!
Remember our progeny, after all, they deserve.
The Constitution, as written, that must be preserved.
No, not just at the whim of governors!
But you, the teachers.fathers and mothers!
We are forever, all sisters and brothers.
Not one of us, by color or race, is superior to another.

I stole millions but boy, I am proud!
Crowds just love me, I guess!
Even writing a book, people adore me, for crying out loud.
Learned that criminality, pays, no duress!
The Lion of Power is all the rage these days.
Lies and crushing peoples rights is de jour.
We've silenced millions in their social media haze.
Our latest, doubled masked wearing rage.
Of course, mass media is our left arm.
They are liars posing as the Ministry of Truth.
We indeed plan, for this nation, censorship and more harm.
Enjoy your deserts of yummy non- truths!
Notice, please....I keep churches under my rulings.
Job losses mean nothing at all to me!
Even, the Pope better learn from my schoolings.
Thanks for making me King of the Hill, in DC~ the autocrat,
Whom I always wanted to be!

Most dream of peace on earth- what is this peace
we yearn and pray for in our life? Just think!
Toast days when wars no longer threat- police
key rulings that destroy our freedom’s link.
Host all God-given rights we own- release
free ways that lead us to salvation's brink:
each person has the same fortuity-
reach peace without the fear of 'fight or flee'.

Judges make decisions
Based on what they like and know;
Though we may disagree – oh well,
That’s just the way things go.
From tiny little contests
To affairs about the states,
The critics’ declarations
Often lead to great debates.
When their rulings, though, are reckoned,
Be assured that they won’t budge
For there’s dominance and power
In the calling of a judge.
