His rants will our freedom stifle
The lives of others a trifle
The lies Trump expounds
Sound like lethal rounds
Shot from Don's mouth like a rifle

He had to be mad
to invade Ukraine
his troops followed orders
they must all be insane
to cross the borders
an unwarranted attack
by a megalomaniac
bombarding innocents
who couldn't fight back
one leader was a comedian
the other is a clown
the former gave us smiles
the latter makes us frown
what do the Russians hope
to achieve or accomplish
by destroying all they covet
leave us alone Ukraine's only wish
and it would be right in the pocket
if Zelenskyy signed a docket
for a galoot in cahoots
who's a-rootin' tootin'
to shoot a stealth rocket
between the ears of the idiot Putin

Registered voices polled
election tide Red
getting their collective way.
Reaping, now what they sowed.
Excited delirium mandated
targets, tariff topping. Tempted
serendipity. Look at you now

What can we expect from a government denying God's plan
that which speaks in parseltongue the language of snakes
this which is a skill that converses through black magic
Pretending to care it focuses on taboo subject matter
how blind has become the darkness surrounding these souls
They start shedding when the light illuminates their heart's desire
working tirelessly bending the will of many to comply and submit
Let's thread the needle and pinpoint the words
fear where the fruits of this deception grows
without roots rotten apples trying to spread an agenda removing choice
there is only one Law I obey these days and it sure as hell is not man made

My cries
Who listens?
My Thoughts
Who cares?
Life after
A wonder
Tears pour
Frightened moment
The pain
Anguish felt
The struggle
No way out
The fate
Must face
Situation
Must be strong
The circumstance
Looking to overcome
Standing alone
A slight pause
Thinking aspect
Yesterday’s wait
Tomorrow’s new day
Worries upon worries
Sorrows minute
A voice of worry not
Believe
Cries to Heaven

Of course, there will always be that one
that leaves a smoking hole in your being,
a wound from a bullet
that was mistaken for love.
It is chastening to know that
that special person has quite forgotten,
nor will even note
your long disappearing trick.
More importantly, you now realize,
that it was you
who shot yourself.

Hugh, listen
How do you hit the target?
I don't hit the target,
The bullet does.
Hugh, but the bullet is a fool.
It is if you are a fool,
And a big mouth too.

Fired shots that smelt not their target,
Gold digger far away from nugget;
Plight of the masses fought the wrong way:
Not one of them did meet a bright day...
Your pictures in offices fidget,
The days left I count with each digit.
You have the ship steered; You've had your say
But the whole thing looks perfect child's play.
What more would one want to analyze?
It might even lips paralyze.
Not a single thing will normalize:
"More Hardship!" If I should summarize.
A wonder you did that legislate:
What won't my punishment mitigate;
We all saw what figures indicate
Which dull child can't the problems locate?
Outgoing president: A Disaster:
Eight years back dying to be Master...

There is a bull’s eye on my heart.
A knife protrudes up to the hilt.
It twists and turns and tears apart,
defines the edges of bloodguilt,
but I survive, rebuild from start.
The bull’s eye shines - I can’t fake it.
Continues on around, around.
Again, repeat – I can’t shake it.
Goes up and down and runs aground.
When all is done – I can’t take it.
Semblance of love and care depart.
It tears my heart to small pieces.
Your aim was good, your words impart
intent for true love surceases.
Observe the bull’s eye on my heart.

Two protesters, breaking some laws
To convince folks to notice their cause,
Threw two cans of red soup
And stood by as the goop
Trickled down a Van Gogh without pause.
It was “Sunflowers,” and, worst of all,
They then glued themselves fast to the wall.
The tomato soup’s aim
Only damaged the frame,
Though the act in itself did appall.
Still, I wonder, did nobody see
What was obvious, clearly, to me?
Flinging soup at Van Gogh
Makes no sense, since we know
How appropriate Warhol would be!

It is easy
Doesn't take much effort
To convince the innocent they are guilty
All it takes are willing cohorts
And their concerted efforts
To manufacture believable evidence
Begin again with original sin
Live in poverty but wait for the heavenly
Life is another punishment waiting to be happening
And you will bend your knee to other gods
You will trust in demons
And their face of your governance
You will believe under the pain of death
Such victims are those
Who have no choice left
It is easy
To convince the innocent they are guilty
Innocence is as innocence does
There has been no respite in the tipping of the scales
Punishing the children
So the, you are sinful, doctrine always prevails
And under the blanket of your sin
Such evil laughs at your innocence
Disgusting grins as you ask it for deliverance
Ah! you soft targets
You easy marks
You the betrayed in your innocence
A dog upon a cross
Butterfly in a net
A hopeless case of perpetual abuse
soft TARGET

TARGET
WITHOUT TARGET NO LIFE FUTURE
FIX TARGET WITH FUTURE
OBSTACLES NORMAL IN WAY
TRY AND TRY ALL WAY
DECIDE TARGET ONLY ONE
TO GET IT ALWAYS RUN
TARGET IS NOT TOUGH AND EASY
ALWAYS GET TARGET KEEP, NO BUSY
FAIL IS A LEARNING WAY
AFTER FAIL COME SUN RAY
DON’T WARRY ABOUT RESULT
DON’T WORRY ANY INSULT
DON’T TAKE REST IN LIFE
UNTIL GET TARGET IN LIFE
TRY TO KNOW FAILURE PAIN
IMPROVE FAILURE IN EACH GAIN
KEEP HAPPY AND CAIM MIND
ACHIEVE TARGET DON’T MIND
TRY AND TRY MAKE CARRIER
DON’T WORRY ABOUT BARRIER
DON’T ACCEPT DEFEAT LIFE
TRY AND TRY ALWAYS IN LIFE
