Short Across The Nation Poems

The CDC makes recommendations
    Adhered to by schools across the nation

An added blessing of kids in home school
    Not being subjected to these damned fools...

A young North Carolina preacher named Billy Graham
Was filled with God's Words, and knew how to say 'em
All across the nation, many people came to salvation
Now heaven will be home to more than a few; how about you...

Saturday's promises are
relaxation
exclamation
no hesitation
blogging across the nation
a-have-my-way-my-kind-of-day
sleeping in
staying up late
SNL
popcorn smells
dog walks
long talks
polish my nails
read from mail
Saturday's full of promises

Carrie Nation loathed saloons and whiskey,

And took some actions that were quite risky!

She chastised dudes who reeked of intoxication,

And used her hatchet to smash kegs of booze across the nation!

Many of we oldsters have already received the covid19 vaccination.

Soon all who want it will receive the shot in states across the nation.

Yet, TV news keeps needlin' us showin' 12 inch needles pokin' the shoulder joint!

You would think by now that we should've all received the "point"!...

Edsel Ford launched the Edsel auto much to his Pa's consternation!

He hyped it hoping his namesake would reach top sales across the nation!

Can you hear me?
Can you hear my call?
The call across the nation
through the valleys and to
the redwoods that stand so tall.

Echo's from history sting the wind
as each day goes on, again and again. 
Repeating lessons we still have not learned,
Will my human children heal our wounded world?...

A new day dawns
across this nation,
a new light at the helm
shines hope to us all,
discord covers the land,
and disharmony fills the air --
a country in confusion and anger,
but strength is our call,
and life is our goal,
common will be our bond,
with new at our side
the work starts now...
the nation cannot wait....

The square root of you
Is a simple equation
People all across the nation
Might not have a clue 
but the square root of you
Is you

You can't simplify what's already perfect
Science can say we're all flawed
ELA can say we're all wrong
Social studies can say, we're all discorded
But math states that we're all perfect...

Bad news,
For all of you,
It's 2016 in Australia,
Multicultural success or failure?
A new culture of racism,
Paranoia driving  a schism,
In our lucky country we stand 
for equality, a concept grand...
Today, let's have no discrimination,
A day of Peace, across our nation,
Yes, it's 2016 in Australia,
Multicultural success or failure?...

Happy Obligation Day!
A day that’s like no other,
‘Cause woe to any son or daughter
Disregarding Mother.

Buy those flowers, sign those cards,
Make a reservation;
Phones are buzzing, gifts unwrapped
All across the nation.

More important – call again
Before your bouquet’s wilty;
If once a year’s enough for you,
You should be feeling guilty!...

Carrie Nation and her cohorts stirred up all kinds of consternation,

   As they raided bars leaving a trail of broken glass across the nation!

      With hatchet and Bible in hand she preached hellfire and damnation!

         She deemed demon rum and those who drank it an abomination!

My heart throbs to the sound of a new music,
Where burning arrows fly,
And time reaches across a nation of hurt.
Where band aids kill and knives play upon a winded chime. 
She is a witch in Christian paint and only covens herself. 
Go forward my child
Go forward and make thy music hurd upon pedistools of kings. 
Win the heart of thy maker and feed upon it's existence...

This world we live in is filled with so much sin
And no matter what we do we will never win
Even though the police sometimes create a hostile situation
It’s not just in Detroit; it’s all across the nation

There is even black on black crime
At the drop of a dime
That people are trying to move some where peaceful
So they can be happy and joyful

But it could happen wherever you go
And yes, even in Boise Idaho...

Corona pantoum

corona virus spreading death
as our politicians continue lying 
many people refuse to wear masks
so many people lie dying 

as our politicians continue lying
Spreading lies and misinformation 
 so many people lie dying 
With hatred spreading across the nation 

If only people did what they should 
corona virus spreading death
Our leaders say everything is good 
many people refuse to wear masks...

The official name is 
Contrails
No more than condensation

The alternate one
Chemtrails 
poo pooed across the nation

I can't help notice
months go by
With none in sight

Are we to understand
that
No plane has taken flight

Yet, when they
Return
The skies are cross hatched

Such coverage in true
Journalism
Won't be matched

I've discussed it with
My brother who many
topics broaches

When they return
I call and say
There's sprayin the cockroaches...

There's flowers on the grave where this man lies,
The flowers on this grave will never wilt or die,
Thoughts of this person resting in this tomb,
Lay across this nation in every living room,
He died beneath the colors of the red,white and blue,
To keep people safe like me and you,
Nobody knows his name or his race,
All they ask is for on him will God shed his grace,
God please watch over this soldier that nobody knows,
And keep the others safe no matter where they go....

“It’s the end of October time for vacation,”
said Mr. Graveyard Zombie, “it’s been a long duration
since we last went on a haunt across the nation,
and what should be our final destination?”
Replied Mrs. Zombie without any hesitation,
“I’m sure I know the perfect location;
back to the hood and haunt the next generation;
for it is they who gave us a life of vexation,
and this to be their consolation
for it’s we who are cursed with eternal damnation.”

The weatherman's announcement: "Hey,
It's gonna be a schmutzy day!
With howling winds and rain in sheets,
It won't be fun on city streets.

This news report just wouldn't fly
In other places; this is why - 
I live in New York's melting pot
Where Yiddish words are used a lot

And "schmutzy" is a word we'd use.
(It's not restricted to the Jews.)
To all of you across the nation
Who may need this in translation -

Schmutzy days you take in stride 
If you can snuggle up inside....

Little friend




Little friend
Where are you?
Around the bend
Is it true?

Do you hide
In the bin
And not confide
In me your sin?

Are you lost?
Have you found?
At what cost?
Look around.

You lost your friends
Your family too
Cause in the end
You always do

Whatever sparks
Imagination
Left your mark
Across the nation

But as you did
You lost the way
Now your family's hid
From you today

I hope your glad
That you did find
Whatever had
Ensnared your mind....
