SENSELESS ACTIONS OF A MAD MAN

Our ships are massed on the sea near Iran as
bombs and missiles drop by the thousands upon
the land, bad guys killed… more innocents in the
numbers in a war that no one can explain… or
can they.

Why?
Why?
Why?

Servicemen and women killed in the line of duty
for what?

What?
What?
What?

Oil... China... Epstein?

Or the senseless actions of a mad man!

STANDARD POLICE PROCEDURE
Do not shoot at a moving vehicle

In the land of liberty where
Citizens are under attack by
Rogue agents of Immigration
And Border Patrol led by a
Rogue secretary where laws
And rules do not apply
Do not apply
Shoot first, shoot them, beat them
The pink haired leader proclaims
Condems the victim in the violence
First shooting in Minneapolis
Next in Portland... .
Are any citizens safe in the
Land of Trump?

Across the land
Standard Police Procedure
Do not shoot at a moving vehicle.
Local, State, Federal
Do not shoot at a moving vehicle.
Unless you are one of those who
Attack people while wearing masks
Commando uniforms when you
Are civilian law enforcement... .
Not military... .
Do not shoot at a moving vehicle

g. confesses: "The poem was inspired by the events unfoliding in Minniapolis and Portland that refect on what is going on across the nation. We must speak up!"

FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS CENSURE

Where have you gone Brendan Carr?
Dark, Dark, Dark
Jawboning threats to freedom for
The abuser of all freedoms

Where have you gone Brendan Carr?
On the wrong side of history.
On the wrong side of tradition.
On the wrong side of law.

Shame on you Brendan Carr
Only if you knew what shame was!
Shame on you Brendan Carr
You know better!

Wanna be dictator sits in the oval
Cheeseburgers galore and when
He looks at you he knows what
You are...a tool bag Brendan Carr.

g. emil confesses: "The poem is obviously inspired by the continued efforts to limit free speech in the United States. Fact is as much as it is Trump, it also the sycophants surrounding him whose obvious desire is to curtail constitutional rights and empower the executive. A dangerous time indeed."

PHINDA BUTTON SPIDER

Not a snake Not low on the ground
Or slithering up a tree
Between rocks
Or lying in wait in weeds
No...not a snake.

So, what then...

atrocious, barbarous, bitter, brutal
callous, cold-blooded, evil, harsh
hateful, heartless, inhuman, inhumane
merciless, painful, relentless, ruthless
sadistic, spiteful, tyrannical, unkind,
vicious, wicked.

So, what then...

Trickster... Overlord?

Not a jackal

Not a Phinda button spider

No...what we have here is

...Jack Napier in charge.
