Global citizenship
Open borders
Down with vetting
Free stuff and services
Shoplifting allowed
Squatting too
And while we’re at it
Massive fraud too
Don’t forget the free bong
What can possibly go wrong
Only New Year’s riots across ‘Free Europe’
Majority arrested ~ Turkish and Arap
Vetting that you'll be closer to the front line of that newspaper than us 'till undone gets it home
Bothersome
The black kitten on my desks bookshelf
In my poetry meditation is small
Only as the poem
Undiscovered
And without
To push the book down
We will not
Only because you stranded me here
All the writing requests
Is simple socks
And travelling coffee's
Yet spectacles bets
Vetting my mystery netting
Tara took me to school
To find her bonnet
Tara Gendron and Kevin
Go to piano
Read Rupi
Rupi
Tic of knock
As sitting drop
In road tin say
Melting kettle lay
Hat and pat
Greatly treasure sap
Long in ago
Settle bets with go
Stepping Foot
The young limb
Clicks out of water
Grasping the dreary weather
Porcupine painful painting it's sun
The mirror of moon
Conquers the files sands
Landing in return of lust
Teaching the fawning shame
Wood plucking a feathers painting
The romance of wind and winter
Iceberg and seal
Feather behind harp
The foot eats the porcelain fingers
Building the painful yawn
Of concerts
The birds chirp invented from a voided life
Alone ousted without sound
Haunting of meaning
The flying fortress is found
To sound is sound and bound by ground
The harpsichord is hidden
In waters snap
President Biden is angry and hurt
as the press and his party
devalue his worth.
He's disrespected and told he's too old,
while his challenger spews untruths
yet gains in the polls and
Project 2025 slowly unfolds..
Americans want Trump so
that's what their getting,
regardless of our President
with so much more vetting.
Read Project 2025, it's
extremely upsetting..
Vigorous cold creature
Valiantly lingering
Voraciously preying
Vicious during the night
Vulnerable in day
Vetting the source of light
Vampire, afraid of light

He is rich, but willing to share
Sending two billion dollars
Yes that is billions, right there
To non-profits with no collars
Yes, no strings attached.
No formal vetting or restrictions
Jeff Bezos, the head of Amazon
Sent money their way with happy convictions
His theory was that since they worked with the homeless
They would help them with things they really did need
So his crew got together, did research, and asked a few questions
Then he sent a hundred million to two dozen for working day seed
He started out born to a teenage mom in 1964
His parents did not get along, and his dad left when he was four
Jeff was a brilliant guy, went to Princeton and worked on Wall Street
But at the age of thirty he started an on-line company so sweet
He is one of the richest men in the world today, has to be….
But does that mean he’s heartless? Absolutely not, as you can see.
He gives this money freely with no restrictions or big oversight.
I am sure he sleeps soundly when he turns out the light.
I like to start my day with a hot cup of coffee
I pound down the coffee
First thing I do every day
as the dawning sun
Lights up my lonesome room
Yeah, but not just a simple cup of java Joe, but a God damn snarling sarcastic smarmy cup of coffee

but they call Trump a heartless, racist...
for protecting us from leeches and madmen.
Obama and Clinton had a potent vetting gate.
But nobody dared to complain or call them a racist.
Tens of thousands of hungry, homeless Americans.
My illegal alien neighbor gets all the freebies
My taxes put the shine on his Cadillac Escalade.
He flaunts a flashy amiga and sports a seven-day weekend.
Being Taciturn
(TASS-uh-tern)
By: Miracle Man
8/29/2018
She’s often outwardly taciturn in a group setting,
Opting to be inconspicuous, “Like a fly on the wall.”
Being attentive to others while mentally vetting,
Often, her shorthand is chosen method of scrawl.
Kansas City. Barbeque beef. Black power and white power working alongside Power and Light.
Sprint Center, Royals Stadium, many small towns, Crown Center, Fritz train deliveries, a real delight.
Aquarium, Union Station, Lego-land, fountains too beautiful to see all at one setting.
Street car, Steamboat Museum, culture as far as the eyes care to see, a real vetting.
Moving here? Come visit first. Sample our cuisine and head toward First Friday in the bottoms.
If we are not friendly something is wrong, visit summer, spring, or come experience our autumns.
A small town feeling in most of our suburbs, and an eclectic mix of personalities,
We are tearing it up, a mess in a good way, and open to new foreign ideas, so come if you please.
My Uncle Ben brought us a hen
He named Alice, one afternoon
He said, "She's sitting on some eggs,"
"That will start to hatch very soon "
Alice hatched Tiny and Thumper
They were hens and we were so proud
Then roosters Blackie and Lucky hatched
They turned out to be very loud
Once a dog got into the pen
But ran when we started to yell
Feathers and chicks flew everywhere
The damage at first hard to tell
We found that Thumper lost an eye
When we posed a careful vetting
Uncle Ben called her "bugger eye"
Which to us was highly upsetting!
We learned that hens can lay eggs
But they couldn't learn any tricks
And we learned that roosters crow
And that chickens and dogs don't mix!
The impression i'm getting, is we are forgetting
That we are a people with voices made for vetting
An appearance of truth is flashed to our brains
The suggestion to youth is just plain insane
Being force fed lies, with a smile and a wink
Can I be the only one who thinks something stinks?
Don't be decieved by the depth of the pool
We can still drown in an inch of some drool
They tell us what's cool, what to buy, feed us lies
We are not milquetoast, and I won't be host
Stand for a plan and stop playing ghost.
Vetting and Security Clearance and SF 86
Why should we be bed wetting or things become upsetting;
Those morons running for office must be always vetting
Then myself to person will be willing to commit,
And not to someone who is a complete idiot.
When we want someone trustworthy and endearing,
All of their total security we have to be clearing
And in very end will know and always can find
Who is best person for peace and have on our mind.
Jim Horn
I once had a Top Secret one but no longer.
Is based on need to know and I don't have
none.
Gaudy About Appearance
Things are gaudy about his appearance;
Only to own laws is there adherence;
Another thing that is so upsetting,
Missed him when they were vetting;
No background check or security clearance.
