Half Truths

Know! A half-truth is a lie,

if facts and falsehoods do ally.

If you cannot glean facts from chaff,

hold not the author’s logic nigh.

(For most pols let the lie apply.)

 

                               Vladimir Putin

Vladimir Putin, your fame has spread

from man of strength to man to dread.

Misuse of strength is tyranny...

but your Ukraine war is lunacy.

 

 

The Weather {Satori Haiku} 

Solve our climate change!

Do not let our planet die...

fools, the facts deny.

 

Charity

Charity has many forms, and none of them unpleasant.

A bow, a smile, and food that’s warm aids a starving peasant.

Alms may often but save the day, when spent, whence comes next meal?

No, you must lift them to their feet, and aid past harm to heal.

 

Diary of a Changing World

Read each Monday Paper,

and learn about our suffering earth,

Humans are guilty of the climate change,

and now we must prove our genuine worth.

It is time politicians now awake

and control earth’s problems for Man-kinds sake.

 

            Future Harmony

When we reached senior age,

my wife and I prepared to leave life’s stage.

We paid for a Will for our family

to ensure they all live in harmony.

But, we worry about their future life.

Trump’s GOP will bring this nation strife....

 we now pray to God we can live to solve.

And our future votes will all strife dissolve.

 

                           Braggadocio

 

Trump speaks with braggadocio

and tries his best to buffalo.

But, when he lies to emphasis,

he kills the seeds that he would sow.

Marriage {Satori, Haiku}

Marriage of equals!

No partner can dominate...

and liberty be great.

                                 Taxes

 I am forced to use the short form

 each time I sum my tax.

Deductions are quite minuscule

 'cause that's how pols made my share wax.

They said my tax will not increase,

but taxes rise... yearly they fleece.

 Congress

My countrymen we should abhor

how pols help wounded from their war...

some heap on praise, but help them more.       

 

A fraud will set all rules aside,

and honor's code will not abide.

We must negate that evil state,

and do our best to turn the tide.

 

          Israel and Hamas

It seems the brazen media

has given the bad news a twist...

after many good people died,

Hamas will not desist.

The media can’t pick the winner...

for Israel loosed cannon and gun,

and the real war has now begun.

 

Trials

What is happening to justice?

Is trial by your peers meaningless

 if lawyers choose those steered by puppeteers?

Both sides are given the same facts

and then debate begins.

 It is strange that different tacks

decide who sinks or swims.

Observers find the jury’s choice

of either ”pro” or “con”

 leaves them unsure that truth prevailed

… or best orator won.

The Don Runs Again!

Since again you will run for President,

 you must reason extremely infantile.

 Nearly half the people do not like you,

and their votes will not tolerate your guile.

All the promises you made with good intents;

however, never ever did commence.

 

                 A Lifetime of Decisions

So many times as I am growing old,

I think about the times that I was bold.

All problems would demand a decision,

and few seemed to have earned a revision.

As an octogenarian to date,

I have managed to manage a just fate.  

 

Bliss {Satori Haiku}

Life brings joy and pain.

Soul, skill and wit wax and wane...

love can bliss maintain.

 

                              Maga Pols:

Maga Pols have their axe to grind,

and not advise you where to find

the answers for our country’s ills.

They all back The Don, not mankind.

 

                        The Physicist

Since I retired answers wasted away.

I can always find answers in the books

I had saved before I retired that day...

but the proper book is where one looks.
