The Laureate-As You Age

As you age most tasks grow hard.

The easiest goals need more regard.

But, if you'd serve your progeny,

tell what you learned when lessons scarred.

The laureate-Trump's Cabinet

Can billionaires be impartial

when their money spans the earth...

and each decision made

can raise or lower their worth?

The Laureate-Nepotism

Nepotism

{To whom it concerns}

If in thanks for money dark

or aid to kin to build an ark,

those acts are called malfeasance...

and in a cell the prat should park.

The Laureate-Assay New Laws

Read every law our pols may pass,

for Props approved, demand they last.

To overturn the voters will

proves votes for our pols were miscast.

The Laureate-Security

Our tax pays for security...

not just for Prez...but our country.

And we have asked our greatest minds

to solve the problems they foresee.

(A fool demands a guarantee.)

The laureate-Congressional Ethics

The pols would have complete control...

even of their mores.

Like pay, and say of what flows dark...

and all we cringe at nowadays.

The Laureate-The Poet

The poet must but paint the scene...

and you interpret what is seen.

Forever in the game of life

we tend to chase but what we dream.
