The Laureate-Those Polls


Those Polls

They try to question everyone
but oft know when the wheel has spun,
they may have gleaned truth from a few,
but lying lips taint their mission.

The Laureate-We Will Vote Again.


We Will Vote Again

Does Dark Money run the country,
and pols morph as their knights?
So many laws...so many flaws
that yield the rich delights!

We vote for those we trust...
fidelity’s  a must.
If others lead who foster greed,
your hue not Blue, nor Red, but rust.

The Laureate-Relent Impeachment?


Relent Impeachment?

Prez says if he is e’er impeached,
the Market will then crash.
But if his shady laws are bleached,
we may find no whiplash.

The Laureate-Trump Walks Alone


Trump Walks Alone

Trump insists on going it alone.
He feels he doesn’t need advice.
But, some sense his testosterone
has made his logic imprecise.
{Heed Congress, et al.}

The Laureate-The Last Gaffe?


The Last Gaffe?

If the facts attack, you send up flack...
confuse your foe with scorn and chaff.
Mafia Dons oft used this tack...
could be The Donald’s final gaffe.

The Laureate-The Prez Swore...


The Prez Swore...

The Prez swore he’ll uphold the law,
not tell us which ones he will choose.
To misuse any he should fall,
and all dominion he should lose.

The Laureate-The Witch Hunt


The witch hunt

You echo there is a witch hunt...
over and over again.
But, you must know that most facts show
on Putin’s spell you must defend.

The Laureate-The Coal Miner's Doter


The Coal Miner’s Doter

The Prez ignores past history
when reducing controls on coal.
He’ll force pollution’s misery
to help some miners...dis the whole.
{Remember why coal miners die!}

The Laureate-The Genoa Bridge


The Genoa Bridge

The fallen bridge in Genoa
Is a lesson for us all.
Degrading infrastructures
can make chaos befall.

What has better value
safe systems...or parade?
This country will salute the Prez
when infrastructures are high-grade.
{As he promised!}

The Laureate-Trump’s List


Trump’s List

You use the Bully Pulpit
to threaten all that you call foe.
You would most likely benefit
to heed the seeds that they now sew.

You’ve faced no foes in battle...
excelled in but boudoirs.
Your wealth made poor men rattle,
but lawyers can’t win wars.

The Laureate-The Prez' List


The Prez’ List

The Prez has made a list
of those that he would dis...
like a Mafia Don
you dare not earn his kiss.

But Prez, you best recall
most Dons cannot stand tall...
they’re now in jail, or hide,
for dissing U.S. law.

The Laureate-Biased Voices


Biased Voices

We daily make required choices...
and need to mute all biased voices.
Though myriad options sate the air,
some webs entice...but then ensnare.
{Let your heart seek its welfare.}

The Laureate-Prez! Approve Asbestos?


Prez! Approve Asbestos?

What you have done through the EPA
puts all our lives in jeopardy.
You’ve helped some perps return to work...
but poison our land, and air, and sea?
{You’ve made us grate, again!}

The Laureate-Paradise


Paradise

At death you will find paradise...
I’ll tell you what I mean.
It will your every bane excise
and all that in-between.

Your debts erased...none may you sue,
you now respond to God...
except, that atheists argue
there is no God to curse or laud.

So, if you bet both red or black,
some say that way you cannot lose...
obey your God or zodiac,
then pray this day on which you choose

For it now is your progeny
that sends your rhyme throughout all  time
and God’s decree eternally,
may ever spread His paradigm.

The Laureate-Our Congressional Alligators


Our Congressional Alligators  

As man of four score years and three,
I’ve watched them morph abysmally.
I’ve watched Dark Money our laws seed
and rich men now define our needs.

The Laureate-G.L.O.A.T (Greatest liar of all time)


G.L.O.A.T
(Greatest liar of all time)

From morn to morn, Prez toots his horn...
that’s how he must on ego dote.
But, in his tweets he should forewarn
his truths oft need an antidote.

The Laureate-Test All Facts


Test All Facts

It is hard to believe the Prez,
for he has told many a lie.
He says just Press now posts fake news...
let us all facts certify.
{Including White House tweets.}

The Laureate-The Last Straw


The Last Straw

The Prez blames Mother Nature,
not man as cause for polar thaws.
And did she too line ocean shores
with plastic straws... or human flaws?

The Laureate-Fall Pols


Fall Pols 

They’ll tell you what you need to hear,
have answers for your every fear.
But, remember they can lie...
best pause if they’re too cavalier...
and our ills but simplify.

The Laureate-Fake News 8118


Fake News! 8118

My Prez,
you criticize what fills the air.
You say it renders but fake news.
Best watch and you will get to share
what others sense about your views...
and let us hope time truth will bare
wherein there lies the ruse.
