preponderance of pundits 
Run for President.

The Big Game
 Always the same
  Comes up lame
   Who's to blame?
    Pundits declaim
     Whisper names
      Gambler's shame...

Paranoia

An

Seagulls.

Fear Pundits'
Convictions.

Repeat of the four-year refrain
Pits demented versus insane
We who are pundits
Say please call it quits
And would toast their obits with champagne...

“The end of democracy’s nigh,”
YouTube pundits in unison cry.
‘Cuz when Trump next marches
through those Golden Arches,
those tubers are all going to fry....

A bitterly cold day entered.
Front gathered hard -- imagine jagged knives.
Looks more northerly, opined pundits,
Quite raw -- snow tires useful.
Very wondrous; xerophytes yearning zocalo....

Horror yellows in vaults.
The commonplace
entertains the unspeakable.

We have photographed
every ghastly act.

Pundits endlessly debate
the proverbs
of ancient spiders....

Art's a paradox
It is a lie that makes us
Realize the truth

Tragedy plus time
Some pundits are wont to say
Equals comedy

Writers understand
Language is a living thing
Constantly in flux

Do nothings
wth tenure
poseurs sublime

Their barrels
sit empty
coated
with lime

The space
they take up
much better off
closed

For those
they have
poisoned
— Hades to know

Per the pundits
     a word from out of the blue
   No etymology, nor origin
     no correct spelling too

   Who cares where it came from
     or where it is going
   I'll happily attach it to
     the way the wind's blowing...

Here lies that warrior for justice, Ted Kennedy, a purebred
   He fought for the poor and neglected, the pundits all said...

Except the little inconvient truth of Chappaquiddick
   Exposed him as an alcoholic murderer -- and narcissistic...

We all swore ‘Never Again’
  to let a maniac terrorize millions
Never Again, Never Again
  so swore pundits and wise men  

A new Hitler's in front of us now
  What’s our reaction? 
‘Tsk, Tsk,’ Vladimir, you butcher’
  ~ as we stew in our inaction...

Tat on a Saturday night roll
For Sunday morning breakfast
Key twists to brain cells
With porticular pundits
Rippling on through 
In fast streaming  flows
Cream in my coffee a sipping
of seasons
A diary opened 
Spoken in codes 
Sweet tart and tasteful
My appetite grows
Strada fresh baking
A roma that glows...

The world collectively
lost its mind
When fires burned
our vision blind

From East to West
and North to South
Insanity
from mouth to mouth

The world has finally
woken up
Pundits quartered
their lies corrupt

Mobbed together
they screamed on high
But run for cover
—as truth decries

Most significant agreements or treaties
Employ important legalistic terms like
  Inspections
  Verifications
  Notifications
  or Null-and-Void immediately

Yet considering, O Pundits,
The withdrawal by the US 
from the agreement 
Over Iran's nuclear pyre:
  Between the Mullahs and President Trump
  ~ Who's the bigger liar?...

If I close my eyes I can see them quite plain,
those stick people dancing in the rain..
They twirl and they lift with movements so stiff,
never seeming to bend.
There's others around but their deaf to the sound,
captivated by the heat of their feet.
Just like puppet pundits, repetitious, redundant,
they dance on to their own silent beat.....

The best life is a simple life,
Poets and pundits all agree.
What value strain, what profit strife?
The best life is a simple life.
So follow drum, and heed the fife,
The world a better place will be.
The best life is a simple life,
Poets and pundits all agree.

You've heard all
      the bombast of
pundits and politicians
Now it's time
          to let the poets
   speak
Starlight shines above
      we
         travel
                below
filled with questions
  and rhymes 
      and loss
  Now it's time for a change!
         Open your mind
   leave all your worries behind
Let the poets speak!...

I still stand by my Feelings
That in terms of a Woman ascending to the Throne
There are Double-Dealings

When it comes to a Queen

There is much ado made of her Substance
By the Herds

There seems to be more Venom and Idiocy
Attributed to her Words 

Whether this be Sarah Palin Hillary or others

It seems they shall be Stupidized

If the Political Pundits had their Druthers...

Why are so many called 
yet very few are chosen?
Are they pundits on the terrace
who know best how to shoot,
who put the ball to back of net 
with mouth instead of boot?

Do many tire sore muscle
learning skill through weary days,
and good-fight life’s long hussle
for the right to make those plays?
“So come, come play for me.”
“I first must fetch another pint.
 
And I’m desperate for a wee.”...

Listen to poem:

One nation under all
founded for a single cause
this is the mantra that resides
in the minds of simple folk

this passion above all else
so say the pundits to themselves
the holy writ applied across
imaginations in the now

this becomes the fervent lie
by the ones who reside
in the boxes built with walls
from the delusion of the mind

uniformity becomes the joke
denying nature of its course
reality will have a say
disallowing the fever dream....

I do feel that Mr Trump's been changed
I'm most aware..of a different range
Of vaccine speed in the weft and warp'
Billions talking in from the  scoros corp
A human queen he finds so amazing
I kid myself not, that he's even hazing.?
I saw some UK pundits view; they say.'
He's changed.. and they're not kidding hey!
Is this just a narrative of more confusion
Will America charge into dissolution?
A sucker punch soon to deck the world.?
Hold on tight, the tide now foams and swirls.'...
