Vote Him Out!

There once was a cunning politician,
His speeches were filled with ammunition?
Every word he prepared
Trashed opponents who dared.
Vote him out, the citizens’ reaction!

It Is a Nickname

What is mistaken so is
dire self-aggrandizement
by ambitious fellows
re-baptized by citizens
hijacked by opportunists
as true love for a nation
It is a nickname, a vanity

In quiet Sunday morning

Leaving a trail of intrigue
Disappearing forever

Premium Member The Newly Damned

It's neither a donkey or elephant,
only a croc promising safe passage. 
Across Confusion Pond to the promised land...

Never to be seen again
the faces of the faithful citizens
and the newly damned.

Inaguaration Rage

Speechs
    Thosuands of 
citizens 
      Watching 
Reverends, Senators speak
Light coming down from the sun
Light coming from a poet 
Only one dawn 
and a beautiful
new day for the nation 
Begins!

Premium Member Cold World

If you thought the war was cold before,
take the temperature of Putin
Worry about a country that is your own,
do not invade what is Ukraine
No blame is dealt on citizens of either
but on poor leadership within
