Trump Becoming Ambiguious

Trump already appears to be ambiguous
And was scrutinized for being contiguous;
Completely off each wall;
Leaves dirty shower stall;
Rub off of body in fashion that is rigorous.

Trump always finds so much appeal
when has been exposed to a dirty deal.

My mind is aching
My hands are shaking
From the constant barrage
Of silent whispers
Looking in the mirror
Seeing fragments of myself
Picked apart & scrutinized 
Since childhood
Never good enough for my parents
Never good enough for myself
Lost
I venture
Wearing thin
Until I accept who I am
I'll never be made whole
I'll never feel good again....

They scorned us.
"You come from mud," they said.
Fingers point towards the stars.
"We come from the stars...."
Our culture is scrutinized
like a dark well,
they are afraid to fall into.
Everything they hold, use and wear
look like it's made from stardust.
Shoving our pride off,
we hide dipper into the swamps,
where our roots will be held tighter
by our ancestors' arms underneath........

Freedom has been scrutinized
The soft weave of stars and bars
People rule, not crown or tzar
Usa, be a sweet lord land, free.!

It was there
In the pinnacle of that darkly moment
From within all sectors that comprised the universe
That years and years on I had yet to know…

Its secrets were embellished in fancy lettering
Skyjacked by great shock I was
Before the effects consumed my well being

I scrutinized the shape of which I had taken
Finding myself that fully clothed within trench coat of riddles
To neither of the questions had I obtained the answer
Only a wink of desire...

Where ever she goes the cameras loom.
They're on to the scent of her perfume.
She sucks the oxygen from the room..
Forever in the public eye, all daily movements scrutinized.
She must dot all x's and circle her y's
Transparent as a bronze gold fish.
Isolated, observed, on a petri dish,
craving for some privacy, a daily wish..
She pulls up her quilt and sleeps until noon,
aware of the face she'll be wearing soon.
She sucks the oxygen from the room....

How To Freak Out the Neighbors

By Elton Camp

In the news is a constant fuss
Government’s checking on us

We’ve been unpleasantly surprised
Our phones and e-mail scrutinized

Terrorists we don’t mind if they trace
A different view if at our home place

It would most surely astound us
If done to the neighbors around us

So here’s a fun trick that we can play
Our WiFi signal’s seen houses away

Panic may ensure if only you can
Name it “FBI Surveillance van”...

On a full moon night...

      It was the Sun,the Earth & the Moon
     Aligned precisely and formed an eclipse,
 changed white dress to red,color of a lady's lip,
 Scrutinized the total eclipse completely,a boon

        Under an eclipsed Moon light...

      It was me,my dearest camera and the Moon,
   all alone on the terrace, drenched in the moon light,
  vented secrets stealthily,beheld the heavenly delights,
cleansed negative energies by whispering magical tunes...

Disdainful moon,
Scrutinized my happiness
And unparalleled delight
Delight that she once felt
Towards her only light
Light that made her beautiful
And displayed her unrivaled might
Might that gradually fading
Because of her shattered pieces heart
Heart that caused her to be secluded,
Torn asunder, and apart
Apart that will no longer be together
And be like exquisite finest art
Art that appreciates beauty 
Of the lost and isolated
Disdainful moon
