A Risky Toast

From coast to coast 

We raise a risky toast

To love and opportunity

Peace through resistance

Growth through Unity

These times will be marked with

Fraudulent politicians 

While plumbers and musicians 

Unite on the streets

Of New York City

To say that we won’t back down

Lay down

Or roll over

Not until the fascism is over

Nor the rains have passed

We will stand together at last

United in diversity

United stronger through this diversity 

For arrogance knows now mercy

And neither do we

A Follow Up: Below Average Day

I am writing this well in advance

Hoping to cope with the reality

Of what is new

What is old

What is the new me

And how it all works

Works

Works

Barely

Working

Modern Culture

A poem of modern culture

Coffee clashing 

Politically smashing

The words echoed from my mouth

How could we have known 

Lies started it all of out

So the story begins

Of uncertainty

Burning me

Whole world in front of us

Rough

Words can fall hollow 

But new words will fill my mouth

Modern culture devout 

The Tranquil Giraffe Unkown

Vote for me

Vote for me

Vote for me and you will see

I am the savior of the problems

No problems will persists

The world is in peril

And I the only fix

Vote for me

Over here in the corner

I have my chest out to be the proudest

And what better but my voice be the loudest

Forget the sick and poor

This country has so much more

You can see in my gold gilded hallways

Make it rain when its already pouring

No tax return no ability to audit

Thank goodness no one caught it

Vote for me

Even though its over

I already won

The problems we face

Have begun

To be undone

There is no check and balance

Goodness no

Just silence

Silence

Where we go now

Deep into depths of regret and unknown

 

 

Transatlantic Split

The Transatlantic Split

Oceans divide

If we didn’t vote for this

Are we still on the wrong side

No tax returns

But we have a winner

“I won and that’s it”

Those statements don’t make my wonder

Any thinner

The President to all people

Not just your supporters and colleagues

C’mon Don this is not the minor leagues

Referendums and revolts

It seems we are coming loose at the bolts

A Transatlantic Split could arise

Good God

Good bye

Rebound Down

Rebound down

Not up and away

Stray a little from the fray

Relax stay composed

Where this will take us who knows

So jump in and stay a while

Bring it back with an easy smile

I rebound down and take a rest

Soon we will be put to the test

 

Great Deflate

I show up

But late

Let’s get one thing straight

No words matter

In a great deflate

Deflate and prosper

“You’re fired”

But I already walked

From your offer

So here comes the New Year

The new changes

Bring on the corruption cases

Watch the fires blazin’

En garde!

En garde!
