When I was just an innocent child
Where ever it suited his fancy
Only he will ever really know why

Survivor?

The ex. president
of the US.

God blessed him 
with old age
Carried around
in a crate
sleeps with open
mouth all-day
emits silence

Colorado had never looked this beautiful
She is a scary, treacherous state
so many fathers have killed their whole family
but at least we have the mist a survivor said

Percy was driving a long black hearse
Carrying a body which made him terse.
To unwind he tried singing
Which sounded like pinging.
But the corpse said he’d heard worse.

Gazing Alone

On a charred olive-
   branch, a dove gazing alone.
      Gory war wasteland.
         Moist eyes barely holding pain,
            being a sole survivor.

an Auschwitz survivor 
           at home now 
        no SS commandos

           no crematoria
     enjoying his daily shower

Trump Lacks Moral Fiber

Trump Lacks Moral Fiber

Trump seems to think that he is a survivor,
When really having been definite conniver;
A real pain,
Even in rain,
Who always lacks any trust or moral fiber.

Sets his sights on a bigger dish

  “Oh my,” says the diver

  “Am I on Survivor?”

Clings to hope on a prayer and wish

Come Back

Come back and I'll offer you my
destroyed castle...
reconstructed...
Come back you'll have one
unmade bed...
A table that little
feed... but you will have
hungry love,
of a lover,
survivor... !
