Premium Member the gs have it

gigantic girlish ghouls gathered at Gate’s gazebo
glabrous ghouls glistening grotesque globs of gloom
gothic goldbricking good-for-nothing gossips on the go
green-eyed grandstanding grifters, guests of green groom.


Premium Member Grandstanding

with dusk approaching
the radiance of the day
melts in the rain

streetlights smear
the autumn colours
across the footpaths

doubling the display
of chromatic foliage
autumn gloats

Trump's Wall

He promised that the Mexicans
Would pay for that damned wall,
Not our federal employees
Who now could lose it all;
So much major grandstanding
Built on years of lies
As he tries to turn our heads
From his Russian allies;
It’s not about stopping folks
From entering our towns,
Just a dog whistle to his kind
Who simply hate all browns.

Premium Member A Nation Divided

I see trouble on the near horizon-- A nation divided just is not couth, Unfortunately, reason is wizen Frivolous theories accepted as truth, Intentionally misguiding our youth Disgraceful political grandstanding, Foundation institutions crash-landing News media is shaping opinions, Honestly, journalism notwithstanding Common folks now political minions.

Give the Earth a Chance

Give The Earth A Chance

The world is ending
So, everybody says
Too many people
Breathing and living
Lunatics take to the street
Yelling and screaming
We have to do something
Yet, they are so, so wrong
The world is not ending
We are not going extinct
And everything will be fine
All you have to do is shut your mouth
Stop all your grandstanding
And give the Earth a chance
It can do more to heal itself
Than you could ever think of doing
