 The ink dried on my quill.

When we purged that bitter pill.

Donald Trump out of office.

We still do not know what the cost is.

Donald Trump is a chump.

So many haters he makes jump.

The new normal is kiss his ass.

Go deep down into the morass.

It's all a cult of personality.

You can forget about morality.

This is what Yeats predicted.

But the values have shifted.

We live in unspeakable times.

There is no reason or rhyme.

When genuine values are in decline. 

The very worst survive.

 New World Order

The only good Republican is an ex Republican.

Have we learned nothing about democracy?

We have completely achieved idiocracy.

There is one man king of hippocracy.

Then there are the enablers.

The democracy betrayers.

The Republican gamblers.

Who merely kowtow to their payers.

Those Republican phonies should say their prayers.

Because somehow democracy still prevails.

While the lawyered up despot fails.

And our country goes through travails.

America was great before he took office.

Let him disappear up his own orifice.

Let us not let him take our flag as his symbol.

This phony should be shamed and ridiculed.

 Big Gretch

Big Gretch I do not begrudge.

Did the best with her hand yo.

Stop taking her down though.

She is trying to protect us.

Big Gretch is not the enemy.

Please just let her be.

Do not compare her to Stalin.

She is trying to protect you and me.

Big Gretch has been oppressed.

Big Gretch has been threatened.

Big Gretch stood up to the worst of them.

Pretty sure you know who I mean.

Big Gretch has good intentions.

Big Gretch is not a wretch.

Are you all listening?

Big Gretch is doing her best.

 Is the turkey done yet?

The turkey was slaughtered.

But he keeps on squawking.

He is an ugly duckling.

Truly sickening.

Is anyone listening?

He is not fit to rule this roost.

He is not fit to watch the flock.

He just runs amok.

Forgets he is a lame duck.

He loves to show his feathers.

He has no camouflage.

If you cannot see you must be blind.

Our country is the last thing on his mind.

He is the supreme turkey.

Commander in dis-belief.

Please wake up America. 

There is so much at stake.

 Callow shallow marshmallow.

Sitting on a cloud so hollow.

You have no backbone.

Your soul is out on loan.

You repugnant toad.

Cannot bare the load.

Of what is owed.

To Americans suffering.

So you sit on your perch.

In desperate search.

For a ticket out of here.

But that road is very clear.

Stop being a coward.

Look at all you devoured.

With no remorse.

You ugly show horse.

Move on to your next big score.

Stop trying to exploit us more.

You are a goddamned rotten shame.

And I do not know who is to blame.

 For love of Michigan 2020

When did we become so divided.

We have enough food and water provided.

Though for sure there are those who are suffering. 

We do not need to be always fighting.

There are forces trying to pull us apart. 

In the great state of Michigan.

The best state in the midwest.

I must profess.

Michigan I am proud to call my home.

I am sure I am not alone.

Only when we get rid of the hate.

Can we truly be great.

Let us start at square one.

We all love Michigan.

Forget the distraction.

We have one direction.

It's so good for the country that Donald Trump lost.

It will take years and years to UN-do the cost.

Our nation was divided even before.

But he ramped it up to whatever suited him more.

He fomented hate to those were hurting.

That he did not actually care was the worst thing.

His legacy is a shit stain on democracy.

That so many were fooled is appalling.

He still won't even admit defeat.

 Makes all Republican phonies kiss his feet.

So many people across the globe breathed a sigh of relief.

That we vanquished that monster who had no belief.

Donald Trump influenced so many,

Though his actual convictions are petty.

The wolf in sheep's clothing.

Deep down full of self-loathing.

 I hope I stop caring.

When this is all over.

There ain't no four leaf clover.

I'll stop caring about abuse of power.

This political circus.

Makes me so nervous.

This guy wants to put his enemies in jail.

Our democracy long since derailed.

I am baffled by those who follow him.

Literally to him everyone is a victim.

I hope I stop caring. 

When this is all said and done.

If he comes out victorious.

I will be appalled.

All of his enemies will get a call.

Believe me heads will roll.

This is America's worst nightmare.

An amoral, shallow bigot.

In control of the spigot.

Of those who survive and those who perish.

When will those loyal to him.

Realize he is less than human?

He is a sham and a con man.

He is the worst nightmare we can imagine.


Holy War

He uses faith as a sword.

To stab those who believe.

Why do so many not see

What is really up his sleeve?

He has no core belief.

He is an abomination.

He sows division.

With immaculate precision.

So many have died due to his negligence.

So many have died due to his indifference.

Denying the pandemic.

Flouting the Constitution.

I guess those who have faith in him.

Do not realize he has no faith.

He is just a con artist.

Surprising they can not listen.

I solemnly swear if there is a God.

And yes I believe there is a God.

Donald Trump is not his favorite.

I just wish He would give us a sign.

 Super Spreader

Walking contagion.

Lying to the nation.

Literally killing us.

Who is still blind?

The death threat is real.

But he does not feel.

Disease is what he brings.

He does not care about others suffering.

He has no heart or convictions.

I do not understand why people listen.

This is the worst we could imagine.

A leader of this nation with no compassion.

Stop playing the partisan card.

This repellent beast has no regard.

He is Darth Vader and the Grinch put together.

But even those guys at one time had a heart.

I thought Dick Chaney was as low as we could go.

Donald Trump is almost worse though.

 

I have no sympathy for this monster.

So quick to replace Ruth Bader Ginzburg.

I wish I were confident he will get what he deserves.

But somehow this big ugly bird always gets the worm. 

 

Donald Trump got Covid from willful ignorance.

From lying to the American people about the threat.

From negligence and disinformation. 

Why does this fool control our nation?

 


 



Monday, September 28, 2020

Ruth Badur Ginzburg just passed.

Heartless soulless Republicans

Have no morals or class.

They only care about winning.

 

These callow liars are sickening.

Please God let there be a reckoning.

The Constitution is crumbling.

Despite Republicans grumbling.

 

Mitch McConnell has no morals.

Donald Trump has no scruples.

It is all manipulation.

A serious threat to our nation.

 

 It is an indisputable thing.

This administration is posturing.

The emperor has no clothes.

And finally this phony lie is exposed.

 If there were a benevolent God.

He would not take pleasure in his creation.

Rather in the realization.

Of his achievement.

If there were a benevolent God.

He would not mind our flaws.

But he would want us to obey his laws.

Do all good Christians do that now?s

We would be total idiots.

To  think we knew who we was.

Or what he wanted.

But here we are.

False priests talking about morals.

Liars talking about the truth.

How did we get here?

 Trump's  prayer

Let us pronounce a cure. 

Although we are not sure.

Let us submit to ignorance.

Let us remember not to care.

 Let us give praise unto me.

Let us make them submit.

Let us be clear I do not give a shit.

But I love to transmit.

 I have no feelings for anyone.

Except myself my beautiful self.

I love what the mirror reveals.

You have no idea what it conceals.

 I am mighty and all powerful.

I am the king with no crown.

I pass my greatness on.

Nepotism is my renown.

 De-evolution is real

Devo were the real punks.

You want to talk about the real junk?

You gotta beat it till it's thick.

Their genius was no trick.

Their first album is without peer.

De-evolution is prescient.

We humans are insignificant.

Devo laid it down.

Made us all look like clowns.

De-evolution is real.

They saw through it all.

De-evolution began.

But we weren't paying attention man!

And now we are seeing the cost.

With Devo we were never lost.

This country is broken

For the wages of sin,
Our President is all in.
With his callow toady Republicans.
And his money-grubbing evangelical whores.
What's it all for?

This country is broken.
The President does not steer the ship.
Into anything but doom and hippocracy.
He has already burned the flag of democracy.
It is about time his followers were awoken.

He is a snake oil salesman.
He fashions himself a deity.
He is full of false piety.
He holds the Bible like a sword.
But he has never prayed to the Lord.

The President has no core belief.
But he uses Christianity as fodder.
Like lambs to the slaughter.
To arouse angry white people.
For whom prejudice is a steeple.

The meek will never inherit the Earth.
But he shouts it out for all he is worth.
That is the myth he likes to promote.
For him to appeal to the downtrodden.
Is the sickest of all jokes.

I have fallen into a post-punk hole.
It's the only thing that soothes my soul.
Wire, Magazine, Gang of Four.
Devo, Pil, and Killing Joke.
Early Ultravox for sure.

The post-punks got it right.
Even back then they saw the blight.
Revolution, fuck our institutions.
The government meant to exploit.
In England and the United States.

Everything that disturbed them then.
Has risen to a level well above ten.
Racism, sexism, homophobia.
Can't we all just get along?
In this global world we all belong.

Pere Ubu were above the curve.
Pere Ubu had the nerve.
Pere Ubu were post-punk
Before there was punk.

Post punks hit me where I live.
Their vision always inspires.
They give me the food I require.
Though they started in the late 70's.
For me they are the remedy.

Controlled chaos


Controlled chaos.
That's what she called me.
She said everything I did was for a reason.
Then she created the worst of treasons.
She knew me through and through.

This girl did a number on me.
She didn't think twice.
Or even three times.
She knew all the angles.
She was no angel.

Math and repetition.
Create precision.
There is always an extra piece to the puzzle.
I was just an extension.

She fucked me over.
Again and again.
She was never my friend.
She knew how to pretend.

Yet I had a soft spot for her.
And she did for me.
There was never betrayal.
She just did not care about allegiance.

For M. Bugard

Your head is so far up your ass.
That you can't see the grass.
That lies at your feet.
Who are you trying to defeat?

You get off on your diatribes.
Like Trump on his tweets.
Full of hatred and self-serving.
We all know about your learning.

But please M. Bugard stop thinking you're better.
You got all society's flaws down to the letter.
But don't you have a few of your own?
Or is that too far out of your comfort zone?

Black lives matter revisited

Black lives matter.
Why did it take so long for us to realize?
I do not blame Donald Trump for racism.
He just loves to foment hate.
So sad we came to this.

Black lives matter.
I had to write a poem.
Black lives matter.
I had to show em.

I hope you don't think I'm a poser.
Black lives surely matter.
I am glad people finally care.
Though there is much rancor.

Black lives matter.
If you do not acknowledge.
You are a hippocrite.
You are a piece of shit.
