The Laureate-The Apps

They ask that you should grasp the task

to take the time to use unmask,

and find the rhymes that will unwind

that which they have to ether cast.

The Laureate-The Middle Class

The Donald will be president...

please tell what Middle Class has won.

His cabinet of billionaires

may soon leave promises undone.

The Laureate-Priorities

Priorities...

must set your goal as you awake...

must guide your mind each breath you take.

Your habits have, most in your past,

left your tea leaves flushed and cast.

The Laureate-Sunset12916

The dawn, my friend, should waken you

to problems you would solve this day.

The sunset should expose the good

from seeds you gleaned from this day's fray.

The Laureate-December 7, 1941

Though young I still remember

how on that fateful day,

the look of shock in mother’s eyes

said that our world had just turned gray.

Then came the deprivation...

rationing for our army’s needs.

The radio and the cinema

swelled our hearts with their brave deeds.

Resolve and toil helped win that war...

o’er seventy years our land stands free,

but those who bore that world war

know we must watch foes constantly.

The Laureate-To The Donald

You pledged you'd save the Middle Class,

and tsar-like billionaires harass.

Choose rich men for your cabinet,

and on their plates our souls are cast.

The Laureate-As You Age

As you age most tasks grow hard,

every goal needs more regard.

And, if you' d serve your progeny,

tell what you learned when lessons scarred.
