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
