Happy Days are here, my commie friend
Iran holds America hostage again
In ’79 the embassy, now the Hormuz
each time Uncle Sam sports an ugly bruise
Ah, but happy days are here, my commie friend
DSA's* ascendant; freedom’s gonna end
Only question's ~ When?
*DSA - Democrat Socialists of America
The bored, the idle, the rich
make up the bulk of the socialists
Ever since Marx, 20, and Hegel, 18
published their 'change-the-world' teenage dreams
DSA’s* goal is unfettered communism
government ownership of the means of production
Always proven to be the ideal recipe`
for a free country’s self-destruction
__________________________________________________________
'DSA' stands for 'Democratic Socialists of America.' The
new Mayor of New York City, Zoran Mamdani, is a
prime example of their ilk.
Reflection in a Phial
I look at my hands, they are as brown as a farmer`s, this pleases me,
although I have no land to plough, a tractor or a mule, or
a workman`s sturdy hand; all socialists should have hands that
have harvested potatoes or carrots.
I flex the muscles in my upper arms and see a faint movement
like a mouse moving under thawing spring snow.
Glorious vanity, I used to do a hundred press-ups a day in the hope
of looking intense and furious. I think of sex sadly. I wasn`t any good
at it. After the act, I looked for a book to read.
The squalid side of life has always mystified me. Why does
a person choose a path that leads to moral disgrace and ruin?
I have always been lazy; strenuous effort will not touch me,
but I would like to pull up a few more carrots.
We live in savage times so tough
With open socialists elected
On promises of more free stuff
As all around fools are subjected
Everyone in huddled masses
With faces blank in dark veiled threat
Sitting on their passive asses
Hands open like an expectant pet
Everyone knows it’s expected
How the value of these hollow suits
Grows with every dime collected
With our necks beneath their dirty boots
Oh noble lords we submit now
To the brazen theft that you impose
And even as we smile and bow
Start our rebellion under your nose
When the day comes for the takers
To account at last for all you stole
Be prepared to meet your makers
And serve us for life without parole.

People who’ve been indoctrinated by public education
Think the fascists/Nazis were “far right”,
When it’s clear the national socialist platform
Was just that; nationalist and socialist.
These indoctrinated fools
Have an extremely narrow idea of the spectrum
That ranges from total government on the Left
To zero government on the Right.
Saying the left of center fascists are right wing
Is like only seeing red to yellow on the color spectrum
Somehow ignorant, willfully or not,
Of all that lies to the right of green.
(11/12/25)
Our laws are at best, temporary
for the SCOTUS can hear each appeal
And the ones which had once been decided
change again, with each new dirty deal
When the wealthy want new legislation
they refill their appointed Rep’s till
For America runs on the taxes
and the votes donors buy on The Hill
Our system is poisoned with money
as the votes are prepaid at campaigns
Afterwards, Congress files in the Chamber
to fulfill promised corporate gains
As the people live paycheck to paycheck
and appeal to their Reps in D.C.
All the capitalists label them
socialists
It’s unsure who the U.S. will be
Will the people who fund all the programs
choose a leader who knows how to fight
Or will we descend into darkness
where only the rich live in light
Mamdani-Trump when played cricket,
Trump opted, full of hate to bat.
A few Yorkers were forked
Out, and Trump was New-Yorked!
Which, opened for him a flood gate
Of setbacks-- quite a few--
By taking not a clue,
Would he invite destiny's date?

Note: Not only Mamdani as New York mayor, but a few other democrats/socialists won against republican candidates supported by Trump. His own approval rating also dwindling fast. Public demonstrations against his policy measures, court rulings against tariffs, and more. Would he complete his four-year term?
Communism on the Hudson
7/4/2025
Some Americans do not appeciate our land, until it
Is far, far too late,
Till our freedoms are gone and replaced by jealous
Communists at our gate!
You, who are aware, know exactly to whom who I mean.
Who will magically turn you into into a Communist king or queen?
True Americans are not Socialists, nor anything in between.
“ We get our powers from the consent of the governed”.
We are a people of many religions and colors.”
So in your honorable hands today, I encourage wave our colors of
Red, white and blue.
Or, plant one at a veterans grav, an unknown soldier,
Who gave his of her her life for you!
Stop, pleae stop, being afraid to write a beautiful
Political poem, where you take a stand! for this land.
Take arms against the corrupt press, out to paint good foreign neighbors, with leftist, lying stands!
Restless is Portugal
There is mayhem in Paradise
the citizens of Lisbon are tired of the bother
and street fighting, where knives are used by
migrants
Gang fights, robbery, and shop theft is a daily
Matter, the police work double shifts
Most of the incomers are from Pakistan and
Bangladesh, where Portugal once had a colony
The democratic socialists ask for calm
It was under their rules letting in people who
Have no work, congregate in the streets
harassing passers-by
A problem caused when a country takes in
too many migrants that can’t be absorbed
into the population
it is not helpful when migrants
Are Islam followers demanding the right
to practice their Islamic faith
Portugal is a staunchly catholic country
her people are angry at migrants and politicians
Alike, those who sleep need to wake up before
It is too late to find a peaceful solution
The Jews in Lisbon marched also intimating
the knew a thing or two two
wishing the demonstrators peace and prosperity
While we were sleeping
America became communist.
Of course they don’t call it that now,
And it isn’t ALL communist,
But at least 51% is all you need
To get your way in a democracy.
How did it happen?
Slowly, steadily, and completely
By design.
Most of these communists
Don’t even know they are,
Let alone Marxist sympathizing socialists,
Although now socialism
Isn’t the dirty word it used to be.
So the short answer is we got soft
And complacent, and spoiled
By the good times
The tougher generations of our ancestors
Bestowed.
But once they bestowed those times
They too started to get soft
And old, and fighting the good fight
Against communists, and youth and change
Isn’t so attractive when you’re old and soft.
So here we are
Pretty much screwed by the inevitable decline
Which greatness always faces.
Soft and old isn’t such a bad way to go after all.
It’s being soft and young now
That’s the b*tch.

Without Firing A Shot
Miracle Man
9/5/2023
Our country has fought both conflicts and wars,
now Illegals are flocking to our borders by the scores.
We’re being invaded because a wall wasn’t finished,
Others eat a free lunch as our goods are diminished.
We’re losing our great county without firing a shot,
and someday we’ll subsist in a state of distraught.
While progressive socialists are furthering their docket,
Their hands plunge deeper into Uncle Sam’s pocket.
Those desiring to come should try waiting their turn,
and for our way of life show abundant concern.
Don’t come here searching for life rooted in crime,
trying to hustle a living on another mans dime.
WHO IS AN ILLEGAL ALIEN?
An illegal alien is simply any alien who is present in the United States without legal status, like a valid visa or lawful permanent residence.
There was a man from Donbas
There was a man from Donbas,
who sat on a headless ass.
"Hey! You're going the wrong way!" he did say,
"and your breath smells of foul grass."
So, moved to the States he arranged,
dreaming of the wide open plains.
There, he too rode the same headless ass
and complained the view never changed.
So, he rode north to Canada,
where pike swims in lakes over tha.
But alas, he rode the same jackass
and nearly died from hypothermia.
Now for the south, he done rode,
way down to ole el méxico.
While riding his preferred headless steed,
he complained of the same poop show.
Let this be a lesson, dear friend.
When you roam to the ends, with no happiness to lend,
and find yourself riding a headless ass,
It's not the world that offends.
You simply mounted the wrong end.
And you must change before you die from the gas.

The names have been changed to protect the innocent. Any reflection of the Democratic Party, socialists, the left, or communists is simply a coincidence.
It's hard to smile in Frisco, with feces on the ground
Equally difficult in Chicago, where crime abounds downtown
But there's always 'sunny Florida,' from which leftists are fleeing
No more socialists, LGBTQ-advocates, or folks on sidewalks peeing
It once was a ‘Big Apple’,
now the worm has devoured
that apple and the worm
is much, much larger.
Rats infest Gotham,
they walk on two legs.
Batman had no chance
dying too soon
from contact with Fentanyl.
The worm has spread,
now it eats all large cities
where the mayors ‘don’t care’
and the DA’s are funded
by rich socialists.
The dead do not pile up yet,
but the sanitation workers
soon may be too afraid
to collect them each day.
There is hell to pay.
Your gold will melt away faster
than brimstone
and the road to the flames
though paved with good intentions –
all of them were hand-made in hell.
