The Primaries

Primary votes are cast,

and I am quite aghast.

Same fools, I fear, who led us here

 may fail again…alas!

From my CD, Return to the Past, September, 2012

Permit a gun for everyone,

then pray they never abuse it.

But is this not with madness done

if in anger they may use it?

Aristotle

Nearly three thousand years ago

Aristotle said to the Greeks,

“Political science pols know

can rarely solve each day’s mystiques.”

 

Now we know the statement is wrong,

pols need but dark money.

For our billionaires always long

to cue them what to them is key.

 

Senryu-Love

Love starts with few rules,

warmth both will like as the best...

next kiss and caress.

                                                                        The Problem 

When small you would but ignore.

It grew and you just barred its door.

Now you've a monster with which to contend,

and you are the master no more.

                   From my book, Rubai.

Science without Sense

We often see the latest news

will make our lives much easier.

Then find some genius did abuse

the way to make his brilliance purr.

 

He launched his devise much too fast

to prove his design is harmless.

And found too fast, he was aghast,

because toxins caused bodies stress.

 

There is a lesson in this verse...

lack of testing can be adverse

for toxins are our body’s curse.

 

November is Near

‘Tis time to weigh the toll you’ll pay

when those who will represent you,

without your say, just waste away

what they declare your due.

This time you vote, least try to note,

the ballot that you cast

may float your boat with all you tote

consigned to some half-ass.
