The Laureate-Alaskan Tongrass Forest


Alaskan Tongrass Forest

We must infer that when our Don
disdains the loss of Amazon,
then says let’s hew our own Tongrass...
he must both us and nature con.
{Let voters infer...then GRR!}

The Laureate-A Scowl For Empty Vow, Prez


A Scowl for Empty Vow, Prez

Yesterday’s poem shared
the oath pols had to swear to God.
Yet, EPA acts threaten all,
and Trump approves them with a nod.

The Laureate-The Oaths of Office


The Oaths of Office

To uphold the Constitution,
the Prez, Congress, and highest Court
must find proper resolution
to tranquility not distort...
nor common welfare e’er abort. 
{I fear you all fall short!}

The Laureate-President or Tsar


President or Czar

You vowed to obey our rules
and to protect our land.
To you our laws are tools
that you can countermand.
                                       
My President, you’re not a czar
although surrounded by your pawns.
Indeed, you’ll never get that far
if voters see what your reign spawns.

The Laureate-G-7 Review


G-7 Review

I read Trump’s tweets and watched G-7,
and wondered why he tells such lies.
He must know he can’t reach heaven
when God’s laws he vilifies.
 {Of His commandments there are ten...
our Don had best read them again.}

The Laureate-Aye! {Haiku}


Aye! {Haiku}

Truths that guide your day
oft flow from what sages say...
but Chi needs God’s “Aye.”

The Laureate-G-7 Summit


G-7 Summit

Again, while rulers congregate
Trump’s tweets all peers will irritate.
It is his own diplomacy...
and starts with animosity.
Though they be foes or good allies,
he feels most wise to criticize.

The Laureate-Our Armageddon


Our Armageddon

Our Prez thinks he‘s the chosen one,
and he just may be right.
The laws of God he tends to shun...
as if he’s Satan’s neophyte.

The Laureate-Gun Law Talks


Gun Law Talks

Trump seems to fear the NRA...
at gun law talks more hair turns gray.
His tweets attack all who oppose...
yet when with them, he's their valet.
{Trump never balks...when money talks.}

The Laureate-Let Fed Reserve Serve


Let Fed Reserve Serve

Trump, let Fed Reserve do its job...
don’t pressure rates to change.
Every time you twist one knob,
we see the Fates derange.

The Laureate-Dark Money and PACs


Dark Money and PACs

Funds come to pols from filthy rich...
dark money suggests its course.
PACs determine what pols should ditch
and what they should endorse.
{The Middle Class has but remorse!}

The Laureate-Faith and Freedom Coalition Letter


Faith and Freedom Coalition Letter

Is the coalition Christian?
They ask that for Prez Trump you pray...
but violate Commandments when
deceit is used to voters sway.


“Thou shalt not bear false witness
against thy neighbor.”

The Laureate-Go Away, NRA!


Go Away, NRA!

The NRA demands their say
and money dark makes our pols sway...
to even grant weapons of war
that make good souls a psycho’s prey.

If pols reject that money dark
and listen to the voter’s plea,
they will give you what you need
and from gun groups...forever free.

The Laureate-Ditch Moscow Mich


Ditch Moscow Mitch

His oaths were to defend our laws
against all of our enemies.
Where does it say his mind may pause
to add forbidden subtleties?

Putin has proved our enemy
and tries to steer our vote...
while Mitch now lets our foe roam free
to commandeer our boat.

The Laureate-Lady Liberty


Lady Liberty

Since Eighteen Hundred, Eighty-eight
Lady Liberty welcomed guests.
The New Colossus at her gate
has the words that we attest,
“...your...masses yearning to breathe free
...send these...tempest-tost to me.”

O’er one hundred years those words rang true
‘til Prez said that poor are taboo.
‘Tis time Trump knows he is but one,
and we decide what should be done.
{Could be the last of you?}

The Laureate-Dirty Air


Dirty Air

Listen to your people...
they don’t want dirty air.
Only fools would use coal
to aid some billionaire.

To do it for your base
is rather foolish too.
If dirty air kills them,
no one will vote for you.
There's no such thing as clean coal}

The Laureate-Freedom to Breach


Freedom to Breach

Amendment I shelters Prez lies,
though oft his tweets will libel guise.
He feels his puppets on the courts
will his transgressions cauterize.

The Laureate-Jeffrey Epstein


Jeffrey Epstein

When Epstein chose to end his life,
and terminate his present strife,
he won’t avoid Time’s judgment cast...
for history he can’t outlast.

The Laureate-Trump vs NRA


Trump vs NRA

Our Don and the NRA
have a thoughtless game they play.
If Trump tries to decrease guns
the group will halt campaign funds.
{It’s like his China tariffs.}

The Laureate-The Fear


The Fear

Let Blue and Red on problems wed
to solve what lies ahead.
Those many who put faith in you
now have their arms outspread.

You all are standing on the stage...
it is now time to turn the page.
We’ve told you what is our great fear...
your answer will be what we gauge.

The Laureate-The Lying King


The Lying King

Those who have accepted Trump
and listened to his lies.
Now listen to him blame the Dems
for what, to him, applies.

He hides behind Amendment I
and calls it Freedom of Speech.
The lying king will not be done
until our votes impeach.

The Laureate-Trump's Lies 8619


Trump’s Lies 8619

The Prez told o’er ten thousand lies
that his base drove miles to hear.
You’d think that once they learn true facts
they’d stay at home...and disappear.

The Laureate-El Paso,TX and Dayton, OH


El Paso, TX and Dayton, OH

Twenty- nine dead {and wounded more}...
how long will Red and Blue pols take
to fix mistakes from our past’s lore?
Too oft we’re shown what is at stake.

We do not need the NRA
to translate Amendment II.
We need our Congress to convey
what the law states for me and you.

Since few are part of the armed force
and should not hunt with Tommy Guns,
pols could prevent this day’s remorse...
ensure no perps buy war weapons.

The Laureate-Second Dem Debate


Second Dem Debate

The Prez is raising tariffs again,
driving the Market further down.
The Dem debates hurt themselves when
Trump’s gaffes seemed safe, while in Motown.
{Trump is your foe...don’t furnish ammo.”}
