The Laureate-Our Politicians
They start as lawyers...or like ilk.
They pander votes, then our land milk.
And when the voters throw them out...
as lobbyists resume to bilk.

The Laureate-Life
Life
A trek with few signs ‘long the way,
and you know not what course to lay.
Many will proffer their advice,
but are not due the toll
you’ll
pay.
{No wise man heeds the same fool twice!}

The Laureate-Delegates
If delegates are wined and dined,
and they are free to snub
our
mind
our vote is but a great expense...
for those who would control mankind.

The Laureate-Next President
We can not choose a nominee.
We can at most but disagree.
In truth, my friends, we have no choice...
they come from D...and RNC.
{and delegates can mute your voice.}

The Laureate-The Goal
Is it not strange that as we age
some see their problems like the sage...
lived goaded by the quest for wealth,
but near nadir they fear that gauge.
{Just open God’s Book and read that page}

The Laureate-AZ Proposition 123
Our pols propose Prop 123...
sell land to teach our progeny.
It's sacred sod and when then gone
they'll seek another “money tree.”
{Don’t waste gelt on chateaubriand.}

Logical?
Taxes are due few days ahead...
for land and home and state and Fed.
While charities and Red and Blue
now squeeze 'til checkbook sums turn red.
