the magic forest
could not be found - so i wept
in the gloomy shade
---------------
january
if i were a stone
might i send a prayer to live
... there comes a rumbling
my inner donald
conflicts with my better half
the battle rages
-----
the power to rule
extort and destroy passes
to oligarchy
perhaps we should ask
of the worlds richest persons
.... define efficient
-----
(the inaugeration)
even i was shocked
this skunk of a president
raping the nation
who is there to doubt
the emperors new clothes shine
like the golden dawn
-----

when my tire goes flat
i find the hole and fix it
so it will hold air
---------------
february
risen from the deeps
the tentacles of dark state
strangle the nation
no nobility
of thought - no sense of purpose
for humanity
trump seditionists
attack the wrong free country
- they will not prevail
-----
raise your words - not voice
it.s the rain that grows flowers
not thunder - rumi
-----
(the whale)

-----
low life in high place
prez extorts ukraine who fights
a dangerous foe
only putin would
blow up a nuke reactor
- the friend of our prez
-----

---------------
march
the politics gene
maddening itch just beyond
reach of the fingers
-----
clueless president
pls call gamblers anon now
huge losses ahead
master of one skill
how to make the nation small
a petty fiefdom
-----
the value of democracy
(press browser backarrow to return here)
-----
a house divided
cannot stand - they who divide
seek our destruction
none love our country
like immigrants breathing free
this i know is true
our greatest resource
is our people - only fools
fail to nourish them
-----
how does this make sense -
spark trade wars with friend and foe
and spit in the wind
doge with your great wealth
match your words to deeds - repay
the damage you cause
when joe mccarthy
attacked the military
his luck too - ran out
the breakers of dreams
- promise a good life paid for
by the dispossessed
