A Complicated Couple

Kellyanne and George Conway:
One lauds Trump in every way.
One says he’s a damn freak show.
How they’re married, I don’t know.

Premium Member Current Events Explained in Two Couplets


      When many are the voices
         that few are the choices

      The resultant explosion
         is heard cross the ocean

The Healthy Choice

Have you heard the news?
Salad is quite deadly.
That really is quite scary.

I think I’ll stay safe
when I make my plate
and just eat a cupcake.

Narcissistic Lovers

Lovers of themselves 
the world revolves around them
at least in their minds
their lovers...I mean victims
dangle from a puppet string...






Inspired by current events.

Have a blessed birthday, Naomi, 
Your natal time is a good news; 
The current events on TV 
Attract millions of likes and views.

Current Events

Between
headland and
headland currents, strong, 
circle, swirl, 
swivel
and catapult
themselves around around.

Between 
headland and
headland the distance
never lessens
but
grows year 
by year leaving 
between them
cold 
steel
sea.

Protests

In the 60’s we protested
Out on the quads
With our armbands and banners and signs
‘Til the rage manifested
By police riot squads
Put a damper on all our designs.

We erected no tents
And we went home to sleep
But were sure we could orchestrate change.
Yet these current events
Which on campuses sweep
Seem, to me, very different and strange.

Anchor of News On Air

N-ews anchor on air
E-xpounds the current events; 
L-et's all watch his program, 
S-hare the informative moments.
O-n the twenty-sixth of August, the justice reporter does speak, 
N-et twenty-five station airs him days of the week.

L-isten to his commentaries, 
U-sing TV or radio anywhere; 
B-rave broadcaster of EBC, 
A-nchor of news
O-n air.

Current Events Knelling

** Current Events Knelling **


Ignorance and evil remain — it’s easy to tell —
Around the world, still alive and well
No matter how much we pray, scream and yell,
“Please!  Learn something from history, not pell-mell,
Before those ego’s ideas devour us all cell by cell.

Mr Right Was Left

Mr. Right Was Left

To be right was his right
And everyone had to listen;
If, then, they disagreed,
Well, that was so much tension.

Mr. Right’s views were all his own,
Whether current events or not,
You have to feel so sorry for him,
Cause being “right” is all he’s got.

No friends stay around to console him,
When he hurts he’s alone in his gloom;
Those who would befriend him he insulted;
Compassion has left the room.

Premium Member Oops

That perfect web of pure deceit
Harsh words lying bold at her feet
Her eyes so cold, freezing hearts
Verbal darts fling to the street 

Yet in that rash ill mannered state
Her words somehow fail to relate
Hence  she picks from a la carte
That psycho somatic soul mate

In due time and some recompence
There is that change, current events
That swollen look, the baby mart
She dares not  get out much since


is a form I made up.  aaba ccbc ddbd

R-ight news is her choice.

A-ims to fill the air with wisdom;

A-s the new dawn has broken,friends and loved ones greet her; 
S-aying their best wishes to the current events broadcaster.

Future's Historical Oracle

Oh what fun it is to watch the surreptitious actions
of the globalist  elite,

And the open mouthed innocent ignorance of
their following sheep.

Feeding the pseudo enlightened masses 
An Epulaeryu of lies,

on their table labeled “comfort zone”,
readily digested as alibis,

courses as to why the unethical repetitively 
Nation crashing status quo is eeriely historical,

and now the state of current events is indeed 
historically, an ominous, telling.. Future Oracle.

Open Mind

The day is bleak. Mind has opened from the darkness of sleep. Alertness wrestles transition from lathargy. 
   The mind screen slowly begins to focus on current events... clearer, then clearer. The volume raises to understanding. Gentle, chilled breeze flows over body - sensations of calming strokes. 
   Mind opens to form thoughts of grandeur. Lively coffee brews. Aroma tickles action of survival. Spirit touches Soul, connecting to Universal Power.
