Far right polemic is rehearsed
Hubble bubble toil and trouble
Insanity.. humanity at its worst
Together can burst their bubble
Or in the sh*t forever immersed
Burns and then turns to rubble
As damn it our planet is cursed
We need to do this at the double
Earth’s our home must be nursed
If not then we’re all in real trouble
Climate crises cannot be reversed
Don’t need a telescope like Hubble
The sea rises our cities submersed
Infanticide.. boys won’t get stubble
As all our kids’ futures are hearsed
Just hubble trouble boil and bubble
In AI’s lies we’re now all well versed
Lust for bust as cash must be pursed
This country is in peril and
A recession is coming
getting in trouble
my mind wonders way too much
mouth speaks without thought
Cat climbs a tree on a whim ~

Daddy doesn't want to play.
I'll find a way to keep busy.
No problem, have your nap.

MIDDLE EAST IN FLAME
DOW JONES NOW DOING THE SAME
TRUMP YOUR GAME YOU BLAME
It is a good thing
that life knock us down at times
so we can look up
Troubles
Trouble on the left
Trouble on the right
Whichever way you look today
It’s never out of sight.
Trouble in the Garden
The Garden made by God
Treating his commandments
Not even worth a nod.
So mankind on and on he lived
While troubles multiplied and grew
They’re multiplying still today
Dark shadowing me and you.
Well, Jesus said we’d troubles have
Not have a lifetime full of ease
There is a Way, there is a Life
Christ is the Prince of Peace!
Why is it my fault?
Honest, I promise it really wasn't me.
I'm just an innocent bystander.

He messed up and created his crisis,
he should have foreseen the outcome.
In his delusion he did not think through
that no one would be around to save him.

You're just an overgrown adolescent
who doesn't plan on becoming an adult.
Do you understand that at this stage
I don't care who's right or wrong.
You've been walking on thin ice and
pushing your luck's not a great idea.
Do you even have a master plan?
Or a semblance of an end game?
I just shake my head.

Two elves on a shelf
double the trouble.
They sit there conniving,
getting into mischief,
making life interesting
by spicing it up a bit.
What would Christmas be
without elves on a shelf?

He was so very sorry.
Tried to justify but he fell short.
Here come the harsh consequences.
