Went to sea in a bowl:
Their wisdom was a misconception
They died and that’s natural selection

At thirty two, at thirty two,
Selection process isn't due
Til you decide that it is due.

Yet once in the fray

with cornbread a good selection,
Always look in every direction,

oh what strength and

A surveying ship,
Notebooks all a’rip,
Soon in battle with Wallace, so legal.

Your selection of outfits
Just for the season
Black and orange ensemble
Dressed perfect for Halloween

When Darwin revealed our connection
To apes via natural selection,
Some gibbered, “You devil;
How beastly to level
A charge that our creed needs correction!”

Twin lightning bolts
strike at the same time,
one a tree
the other me.
Nature decides;
the tree is scarred,
me, ashes in a jar.
Natural selection, nature
decides.

Our love was so tasty and sweet
now it's sour and inedible.
I should have chosen another
selection of sweets.
Instead I chose a mesmerizing
unpredictable bit size.

From the golden lamp a genie emerged
For a thousand years he had been submerged
Said, 'I can give you vast wealth
Or I can give you good health'
But either one by itself is a scourge

TV provides such wonderful entertainment
But the other side of the coin can also be present
Takes careful inspection
Before your selection
Some are only watchable with parents consent

From Trump Need Protection
From Trump, what we need is protection;
Seems like he does control each selection;
Hard to understand,
And well planned;
With him never could make a connection.

He sneaks stealthily
Undetected
Making use of the shadows
Analyzing the surroundings
Nondescript in appearance
Indiscriminate in his selection
The shooter
Yellow coward

Congress Defends Elections
Congress is designed to defend our election,
Then those who from will have a selection;
They are sure;
System did endure,
And if violations they did make a detection.

UN-NATURAL SELECTION
PERHAPS IT ‘S JUST A BIG BANG DESECRATION
UNRAVELLING OF NATURAL SELECTION
BUT WE MUST CAST A VOTE
THE DUNGEON OR THE MOAT
IN HOPES THE WHOLE DAMN THING’S AN ABERRATION

Starving from no affection Fighting back from mass infection Sending signals to find my direction Shouting out to my selection Seems again I have to make a correction A million miles from perfection

Relation molds
Hearts not people
Hold feels for life.
Mix emotions
Makes oneself holds
Feelings not war.
Peace with other
Good people sign
True love of life.
Absence of hate
Devil's irate
God's victory.

Choices in life are not easy to make.
Contain two or more selections.
Be aware of which selection you take.
Since sometimes there's no reversions.
Leaving a sequel of deceptions.

Donald Trump won the election
In spite of his true party selection
Not Independent, Democrat or Republican
For he always was and forever will be a Trumpian.
