Just the facts ma'am; tell the truth.
I'll...
Remove the cuffs.

Was tonight as good for you'

Trump Te Trump Trump

If you remember Jack Webb and Dragnet
you will easily be able to identify with this
poem.

I
Praying for peaceful stewardship of our planet
Praying for exposing the evil police dragnet

II
Police instead your stewardship of the planet
Plant not police where stewards ought to be at

The hawk was always hatching 
a pacer,
to spin the surveillance,

tampering the tracks of violence.
The haul was heavy. Moon and fishes
went on to spread the dragnet

striking gold from the liquid
denials. The sovereignity was
violated of a virgin god.

The rule of drinking was sidelined.
Kiss will survive after the death opens
the back door of a globe.

Dreams are exhausted. There will
be no comeback of a star player
in the game of bloody manipulations.
