Taps and Wires

Wiretaps

Shooting in the pool

Trying to catch the cool water

Catching what is not really there

It was once but is now everywhere

Once a river

Now only a stream

We had better push harder

Than it might not be a false starter

Recuse

Recuse is in the news

Withdraw all efforts

Corruption is now the norm

Normal abnormal

Still disturbing

Russian hackers

Making names for old politicians

No clarity from the top

No direct vision

All the while corners are being

“Turned”

New tones are being drawn

All the while I lay back and yawn

Is this over yet

Are we back in campaign season

Or are we waiting to go back in session

How Long Can it Go Wrong

Is there a limit to wrong

At some point is it all gone

The ability to screw things up

Over and over again and again

Writer repeat send

How many letters do we need to not have

To read anymore

How long can it all go wrong

A day

A year

Eternity

Affirm me

Please that is not a possibility

Impossible

But possibly

I guess it could go on eternally

I will wait

And see

 

Out of Sync with The Human Race

What’s the news

News new about the blues

All around the doom and gloom

I guess it was coming

Whether it be now

Or sometime soon

I hope there is a better narrative offered

How can any feelings be not fraught with anxiety

Highly toxic situations playing out on TV

Grieving hard to find solutions

Not all caught in one place

Somehow I am out of place

Out of sync with the human race

Hands and Mind Pace

If these fingers could type

A million words a minute

Would my mod outpace the pace

Of my hands

Or my hands outpace the mind

In full times the mind grows

In fruitless times the mind wanders

So I am spending hours wondering

At what rate will my hands outpace my mind

Whole Intentions

Whole intentions 

Viewer retention

I have lost my connection

To popular direction

So I sit with pen in hand

Coffee at side

Seems this detour was more than

A simple joy ride

Roses and palm trees

Laced with every temptation

How could we resist

A simple will of gratification

Stand and sit

Sleep and rest

So it again

Resilience is our test

Wrapped Up in Humanity

From east to west

Uneasy unrest

Wrapped up in humanity

Inhumanity

Lies become truth

Truth become lies

We have lost our ability to decipher the truth

And don’t care to sympathize

From the low to the highs

I hope we can somehow discover the truth

Realize

Banter from true lies

But it takes the average citizens to get involved

Even though our whole worlds have revolved

Around disorientation

It must stop and we must begin

People acting in collaboration is when people win

Upcoming Dreams

We head again due west

On a uncertain journey

Chasing the calendar

Of hope and upcoming dreams

Let’s head out now babe

Before it is too late

LA is sunny and people are happy

We have seen enough here
