The Laureate-Superdelegates

Why are we asked to vote our choice,

if delegates can mute our voice.

These delegates need not reveal

what dark money asks they foist.

{Politics!}

The Laureate-To The NRA (Redux)

It’s past time that the NRA

proves it has some sense.

Recognize men can be prey

and soon may be past tense.

Sure, hunt for bear or hare or grouse

and mount it on your wall,

but you don’t need a Tommy gun

to make the critter fall.

Come, support the rest of us

who do not stalking bolster...

let’s have less kooks and terrorists

on a wanted poster.

The Laureate-Orlando

Support ISIS, go to jail...

even if the aid deemed frail.

Those endeared to terrorists

must share in their unholy grail.

The Laureate-Not Sports Alone

The veer of the sphere can tilt and sway.

Indeed, it oft puts luck in play.

Keep poised while you are in life's game...

wavering creates melee.

The Laureate-Is it really over!

The chosen scream their vitriol,

so vicious, I cannot ally.

What lady prez, or what Trump sez

makes me shudder, cringe and sigh.

The Laureate-Perception

That which we perceive

we tend to believe.

Yet shadows can weave

all we can conceive.

The Laureate-May Sunset

Sunset

As you now watch the rose morph grey,

reflect on paths from which you stray.

You soon must gratify your chi...

or leave your soul in disarray.
