Short Precedent Poems

There once was a Florida resident
Who set quite a political precedent,
	Missed half Senate votes,
	But staff took some notes! 
And now he wants to be president?...

Before the particle disturb, make eyelid protect
Before the triangle, make sides equilateral
Before the obstacle, make hinder simple
Before the knowledge, make skill amaze...

Simple to you and easy to me,

 The precedent to implement will affect efficacy, 

Why?, 

I surmise when somethings easy to see, 

The Mind will have you do exactly as you please....

Sweet, blissful solitude
A moment an instant
Given, taken
Captured, and caught up
Full with potential
Brimming with promise
Undisrupted by precedent
Selfishly coveted
Sought after...

A vote for Joe Biden for President
A ticket for Barack Obama as Vice-President
Hoping this amazing duo
Will set Mr. Orange aglow
And finally, get rid of this inept precedent

(Dream along with me!!!)...

Losing light.
Hope evasive
Optimism fluttering.
Enthusiasm for survival
takes precedent over all else
In survival mode
Illness oozing out of pores
I pick up a pen and promptly drop it.
Words are nonentities for me right now.
The key is survival....

President Without A Precedent

Is a President
Without any precedent
Not with our consent

Listening to Rachel Maddow show
and this came to my mind. All 
of the negativism that is appearing
seems to have an obverse affect
creating a positive response.

My cat  was de-tailed in an accident
                              First she was mauled by a big elephant
                                    Then she ran on to the street
                                     And bounced over the sleet
                               And lost her tail without a precedent...

It’s only make believe, I know
But in my fondest dream I go
To some resplendent mountain peak
To gain the precedent I seek
Whereby the wisdom of the Son
Who meekly died for everyone
Is turn the other cheek.

To give life, and have that life dejected away, within seconds….. Pleading for a precedent, Incapable of escalating.
 Designed second, within spent habits, disqualified from my child. Bitter sentiments of mediocrity and anguish. Powerless to retreat, decisively surrendering. Trusting to lull my droll agony, melancholy. Imploring for my termination....

This must be an accident,
have I set a precedent?
is there something that
Monday's not telling me?

It's six of the clock plus three
plus me 
and far too light in the day 
I may even float off and away
to where yonder lies.

Or is this a parable of the 
traveller
inconsolable on
Monday?

Whatever
it's never good news 
to 
the one who's 
listening....

All beliefs are based upon same precedent.
Good and evil battle until end is near.
Mankind is always ever so negligent.
Split between each person is true faith and fear.
Good shall overcome evil this we all know.
Humankind will always have their choice to show.
Good will never destroy good, this we know true.
Evil destroys evil; that is what they do.

To speak so clear in face of love’s demise,
will elevate the consciousness of one
‘til all will see the world so through her eyes
and so complete will counteract undone.

I set you higher
than I could ever reach
and I’ll probably hurt
myself trying

Though words are merely words, the precedent
is set for future days as simply this
unless I set you down, and find the strength
to speak so clear in face of love’s demise....

Potential Euthanasia law in New Zealand
Encouraging Euthanasia
Profoundly Eye-opening

Might encourage 
All kinds of people
Who had never thought of it before
To accept suicide

Unclear if this law has been passed
A dangerous precedent.
Making suicide common

Making taking your own life
Acceptable
Desirable
Natural

Scary to me 
What this could do
to a society
Where teenagers are
already casually killing themselves...

Preceded death;
Absent  of breath;
What have I left;
As my remains you view;
Yet this is not me nor is it you;
As the many changes have came and passed;
I've gone on into the aftermath glances;
Phoenix wings and light so shine;
 I have flown I have risen;
 I have flied, tho! You cry;
Sigh!,.....................
Shhhh! Don't cry I'm  O K
I'm with God NOW

Rainsoaked fields,pastel green,
perennial impressions of country scenes.
Shire counties cramped and compact,
neither temperate,changeable and in exact.
Seasons merging into one,
winters' mild,summers of sometime sun.
Ancient,historic and quaintly modern,
pub-grub,village greens and cricket squares sodden.
Precedent law,judged by our peers,
diverse opinions expressed sans fear.
Reserved,resolved and resolute anglais
