WMAQ
We Must Ask Questions
The ideologues must not have their way
We have to see through
Their disguised path to socialism
We pass a 1.9 trillion dollar Covid-19 Relief Bill
Which only contains 9 percent relief for Covid
The other 91 percent goes to Blue State bail outs,
Infrastructure and other previously covered projects
But we must ask questions about debt
And the open borders and energy independence
When science shows that the climate will change
Regardless of what we do and carbon dioxide is
A fertilizer for vegetation, shrubs and trees which
Give back to us life necessary oxygen
We are foolish people loyal to our parties without
Noticing that they have changed over the last
Sixty years, mostly to our detriment as the players
Enrich themselves by selling their souls to the
Chamber of Commerce, open border advocates and
Other lobby interests, while we the taxed pay
We must ask if we need career politicians or
Would term limitations without the lifetime fringe benefits
Be desirable or would that be cruel and unworthy of us
Is the media and big tech ready to be overhauled?
Are billionaires going to be the ones calling the shots?
Is this still the country of the people, by the people and
For the people? We must ask questions
We have all suffered personal loss. We have collectively
Lost soldiers in numerous wars, which were fought to
Preserve our freedoms. This has been a heart-breaking burden
And now the right to life is being denied as we fund
Planned Parenthood, here and abroad with our tax dollars
What kind of people do this—destroy the precious gift of life?
We are sick and need counseling, but then
Who do we go to for this? We must ask questions

GOOD FOLKS
Saintly people walk about
Taking care of themselves
While at the same time
Thinking of others in need
Beautiful people with souls
Constantly reaching out
Never content to just walk by
Insist on getting involved
Gentle in their every move
Kindness a natural attribute
Bring joy just by being present
Missed when not there
Forgiving of other’s shortcomings
Never speak an evil word
Recognize the truth
Never play the blaming game
They glide about like angels
Music flows in their drift
Many try to imitate
A sincere form of tribute
Oh, that we had many more
With their goodness and attitude

REACTION TO A CRISIS
Logic replaced by blame
Always under the cover of innocence
Like a dark clothed gang at night
Takes over the sanity of people
They move quietly and in ranks
Many just following as the pathetic do
They plunder the minds of the sensible
Carry a banner of Satan
Streaked with blood; not their own
You can see the red in the starlight
I will remain sequestered at night
While they wage their war
They act immortal in the shadows
Until they are challenged by the light
Then eyes, sunken, show fright
I have put the wine away
The cognac bottle is covered with dust
I raise therefore a clean white flag
And listen to Grover blasting victory music
The nocturnal cowards will vanish
They know when it is time to quit
My only smoke is from incense
Reminds me of Whom I serve
A large crowd is with me
Much to the chagrin of the distressed
Pulling for a night time charge
They thought they had the machinery
All they have are groans
Their equipment breaks down
They leave it as the weak often do
The moon watches over satisfied
As morning clouds come into sight
Smiles at what was an anemic enterprise
Knows who rules the night and the tides
Will not release his grip on the skies

THE CREPE PAPER IS GREEN
Nothing felt right, but
it never does when
an element of reality
has been removed
from life. Our, one day
a year hero, Charlie,
no longer tickled the ivory at
The Shamrock Bar on
Franklin near Eastern.
A tradition was over.
Nothing tried would
replace it and so
we dealt with
a new void in life.
Finding a new spot
for Saint Patrick’s Day
celebration never worked.
The old gang
broke up, each
going their own way.
That was just life,
the way it still is.
Memory will serve
the lonely hearted
until something new
comes along or
the importance of
that special feeling
dwindles to nothingness.
Then we move on to
The Senior Center.
Do-gooders will come to
the home and lead
the inmates in some
tired old Irish tunes,
forgetting all about
the Guinness Stout and
we pretend to be happy
until they leave and we
wait for our daily ration
Of stool-softeners and
sleeping medications.

WONDERING AGAIN
I wonder all the time
What those with the power
Are doing to our country
Everything was in flower
Many jobs available
Companies returning to the USA
Taxes lowered across the board
Plenty of time for play
Then the Chinese Wuhan Virus
Blamed on then President Trump
Bad policies by Comrade Napoleon Fauci
Actions like those of a sailor who is drunk
Wear a mask, if it makes you feel good
No need to even wear a mask
Then wear two masks said he
What was the thinking? Was that his task?
The lock downs causing misery
Governors ruling by fiat
All to break resident Trump’s success
Then of course the peaceful riots
Now we have a new occupant
Who served 47 years doing nothing much
Then in 47 dismal days
Signed executive orders; as though out of touch
Why are those in power
Doing so much to destroy us?
If they could only see the light
But instead seek a country that is Marxist
