Friday’s Senryu (Discord)
When you are angry,
stroll and think about the strife...
steps for what ran rife.
About-face Trump’s Base
Decertify
the election
some
Trump supporters say.
They
think Trump’s lies perfection
and
let him their minds sway.
I’ve
heard them say that all he does
makes
our country great.
I
think their minds are filled with fuzz
and
his lies, alibis and prate.
{They’re
covered by Amendment I,
but
all those fools we aught to shun.}
Trump’s Lawyers Leave
Many of Trump’s vital lawyers
lately have parted ways.
Some have left because of blunders...
some because their duty dismays.
The Don enjoys to litigate,
especially if he has clout.
But
it is different if his fate
means
that he may face a rout.
{Trump
may face his day in court...
Trump’s Belief
The "authority in the
mob"
is now The Don’s belief.
For threats from base make
RINOs throb
when they harass and cause
them grief.
Trump’s trying to scare all
foes away,
as his mob will make them
prey.
{But if Trump’s gang should
make him king
to czar like Vlad we’ll be
bowing.}
Read about Trump and Heed
O’er fifty books have been written
concerning
ex-president Trump.
Even
I was downright smitten
and
added poetry to the lump.
The
authors told what Trump misdid
the
four years of his sole tenure.
My
verses struck and tried to rid
the
country of a bad actor.
{The
Don said he will run again...
let’s
hope more read what we now pen.}
9/11/2001
Those martyred in the towers
twenty years today
were sacrificed by terrorists
as message they’d convey
They hoped their act of violence
would prove their power to
dictate to our nation
and threaten me and you.
We found that they awakened us
to that which we hold dear...
our pride in facing crises
with fervor and not fear.
And every anniversary
of this so tragic day
pledge to vow we will not let
our fervor e’er decay.
Labor Day
Not just another holiday...
you
should read the tale
of
how the Pullman strike
made
U.S. pols turn pale.
The
government reacted
with
soldiers and police.
The
workers had a wildcat strike...
made
commerce almost cease.
The
Prez knew angry workers
must
be mollified.
He
pledged to them a holiday
to
honor those that died.
Now
Labor Day is many things
as
summer fun is over.
We
should cease to wear white clothes...
for
soon it will get much colder.
Soon
school will start, vacations end,
we
picnic and have fun.
But
remember as you play,
the
workforce this day won.
The U.S. Supreme Court
Congratulations, Donald Trump,
you now control The Supreme Court.
You filled it with your puppet pawns,
and all your claptrap they’ll support.
We’re stuck with them for many years...
one is happy just drinking beers.
Your pawns will approve what you want...
for most have shown they’re not savant.
{Trump lost the vote but wins his game...
though odium does not bring fame.}
The GOP Is Not For Me.
I am no longer GOP...
I left them many years ago
when I observed they were ditzy...
and voting laws for some...deathblow.
They only cared their party won
so they could rule the country.
In time they found, to ease burden,
they would just support the wealthy.
{I spend no money in red states...
everything they do grates.}
Trump’s Taliban Plan
On
a radio program Trump
complained
that many media
talked
about the hurricane
instead
of Afghan agenda.
He
wanted praise for what he’s done...
about
the war he never won.
Though
Ida winds destroyed our land,
Trump
sought all praise he could command.
{Let’s give Trump credit for that job...
I guess the storm is too macabre.}
