Moral Grandstanding
Don’t be hugging and kissing me,if you don’t mean it. If you keep trying to convince me,I’m going to start believing,that you really do. Don’t be offering me your pity,just because you’re feeling sorry for humanity.Let me be, let me … Continue reading Moral Grandstanding
Democracy Poems
Our Republic is like,A beautiful garden.Our Constitution,The fence that surrounds it.Our Democracy,The gardener who cultivates to it.

What difference does it make,if we protest, riot and loot?The governors didn’t care about us then,now they’ll care even less. What difference does it make,if we burn down their ivory towers?Weren’t they erected—just to remind us—how rich they’ve become,and how … Continue reading Down With The South

If you are traveling in the same direction as the devil—you are in collusion with him—because you both have the same destination in mind. It does not matter, if you have an alternate point of view, in the end it … Continue reading Fellow Travelers
Some Fools Never Learn
Trump didn’t don a mask,when the doctors ordered him to. A narcissist is afraid to show weakness—he’s a con—he doesn’t care about public safety,why should he care about you? His patriots were obliged to defend him,so they didn’t don a … Continue reading Some Fools Never Learn
