Why can’t we stop this madman?
He’s not a king or czar
Look at all the damage
That he has caused so far.

Who gives Musk the authority?
He is not a politician
No vetting, voting or appointment
No regard for the Constitution.

Trump is clearly damaged
Cruel and filled with hate
No way he cares about us
Believes that he is great!

Revenge.… his evil mantra
It’s what he’s living for
Standing with the insurrectionists
Encouraging a war.

Prejudice against women
Wants only white men to prevail
Is a racial bigot through and through
Clearly, he belongs in jail. 

Ignoring judge’s rulings
Blatant ignorance and defiance
Shipping immigrants to El Salvador
Refuses to be compliant.

Musk buying votes for republicans
Acting out on Center Stage
Destroying all our our agencies 
So sure he has it made.

Rummaging through our private files 
In and out of federal buildings
Firing thousands without warning
No regard for anyone’s feelings.

Somebody please do something
Reign this madman in
He wants to be a dictator
He’s not a leader or our friend.

My hands start shaking
When I think of you
My heart starts pounding
My lips turn blue. 

I changed my number
Don’t contact me
Don’t try and find me
Just let me be. 

I blocked your number
Changed my profile, too
My friends feel the same
The same way that I do. 

Don’t make me reach out
Get the police involved
They’ll lock you up
For a good long while.

Too many explosive
Threats and abuse
I know in my heart
That I’m not safe with you.

You have it all
Good looks and charm
But, you’re nothing less
Than a perfect storm.

Can’t change someone’s feelings
Can’t tell them what to do
Can’t control what they think
Or make them feel for you. 

No amount of pressure
Will make them fall in love
Nothing that you could say
Would ever be enough.

If the chemistry between you
For some reason isn’t right
No amount of wishful thinking
Can turn daylight into night. 

You could climb the highest mountain
You could try your very best
But no matter what you do or say
You will never pass their test.

Don’t beg and plead for mercy
Hoping and praying, too
Cause you’re never going to change
The way they think of you.

Some are lucky
Some…. not so much
Some seem to have
The Midas Touch. 

Some have money
Some have fame
Some … like bugs
Drawn to the flame. 

Salt over your shoulder 
When there’s a spill
A bit of holy water 
To sprinkle at will. 

First on the list
Wherever you go
Not one broken mirror
Not one shard to show.

When taking a walk
No stepping on cracks
What could be worse
Could be worse than that?

I got a feeling
Deep down in my bones
Gotta make a decision
A cup or a cone?

Playing my number
Lucky 842
Whatever happens
I’ll split it with you.

Bring on the clover
The horseshoes, the sage
No need to worry
It’s my lucky day!

It doesn’t feel the same
Not as it was before
You’ve drifted with the current
You’re too far from the shore. 

I can no longer reach you
I tried, but you were gone
Can’t get back to where we were
You waited way too long.

You didn’t try to hang on
You threw caution to the wind
Turned your back , sailed away
Won’t be back again. 

The loneliness consumes me
Feeling sorry for myself
Missing you, longing for
The love I thought you felt.

Lacking common sense
They’ve put us all at risk
Nothing’s going to happen
A mere slap upon the wrist. 

Were they unaware
A breech had taken place?
Putin is eavesdropping
Has a smile upon his face. 

A journalist is outraged
Included in the text
When he realized it
Afraid…. What to do next? 

Alerting his newspaper
Telling the public, too
Now standing before Congress
They’re unable to tell the truth.

Making light, diminishing
The gravity of their actions
Should have known they’d deny it
And never make retractions.

They need to step up….own it!
Why spin such blatant lies?
The evidence is crystal clear
An “attack” should be classified.

No honor, pride or morals
Trump has led them down the drain
They all follow willingly
I watch with such distain.

“IT WASN’t ME” by SHAGGY.….

https://youtu.be/2g5Hz17C4is?si=xEPJuSGZVGqOAgny

How could you?
How could you leave?
No second thoughts
No time to grieve.

A selfish move
A point of view
So typical
So much like you. 

No looking back
Eyes straight ahead 
Now that I’m gone
Pretend I’m dead. 

I feel that I’ve
Been buried deep
Rewarded with
A good night’s sleep.

Feel so alone
It’s been so long
Never felt
That I belonged.

Days were numbered
Guess I knew
I’d have to say|
“Goodbye” to you.

It happened without warning
I saw her standing there
I couldn’t help myself
I knew that I still cared.

Our paths crossed … perhaps by chance
Was it fate or a coincidence?
We parted ways… some years ago
Think we met today…. by accident.

She said , “HELLO” so casually
Like the spider to the fly
As always, oh so charming
Her eyes… blue as the sky’s.

She put her arms around me
How could I resist?
Softly whispered in my ear
I’ve missed the way you kiss.

Why don’t you come home with me?
She wanted to have sex
It’s been so long, I’ve missed you
Thought that I would just say, yes!

No way that I would follow her
Like I did before
Never again …. would I give in
Not ever, not anymore.

Persuasion has its limits
I’d been down the rabbit hole
Been there… done that…. no not today
No chance that I would fold.

Handed me her business card
Told me to call her later
I knew that she had no idea
I’d spent years …. wanting to hate her.

A psychopath, a narcissist
She hadn’t changed a bit
Some people learn from past mistakes.
Some want no part of it.

Hope you have ample water 
A garden of your own
Hope your gun is loaded
Keep your kids with you at home. 

Rules and regulations
No longer do apply 
Our country’s under siege
The government tells lies.

All federal authorities 
Under Trump’s  domain
Soldiers posted everywhere
This whole thing is insane. 

Eggs are so expensive
Bread, milk and sugar too
Have to use a voucher
They’ll be given out to you. 

Afraid to speak to neighbors
Don’t know who you can trust
Keep your business quiet
Don’t try and make a fuss. 

Food and drugs are rationed
Health care is not assured
Measles running rampant
Polio …. no longer cured.

A rather sad prediction 
Hope none of this comes true
But Trump and all his sycophants
Don’t have concern for you.

No conscience, or compassion
They have totally run amok
Rifling thru agencies
Their attitude…. “So What?”

Praying our legal system 
Can withstand the stress
For now it’s constant chaos
It’s certainly a mess.

Going through the motions
Everyday’s the same
Can’t shake this sense of loneliness
I can’t escape the pain.

Ruminating, deprecating
Can’t change what’s in the past
Suffocating, still immersed
In dreams that didn’t last. 

Once fierce, so strong, could rise above
Whatever came my way
Now a weak link, floundering
Can’t seem to seize the day. 

Wallowing in sadness, 
Regretting things I’ve done
Too much time on my hands
I’m blocking out the sun. 

Need to find rejuvenation
A purpose, a goal, a plan
Once a fearless warrior
Now sinking in quicksand. 

Tired of the repetition 
This cloud above my head
Everyday gets harder
Harder to get out of bed. 

Try to read the paper
Turn on the nightly news
The recaps are terrifying
We have so much to lose.

A hard shake, a slap in the face
My problems so miniscule 
Need to focus on something more
Like the cost of rocket fuel. 

Children are starving while I am whining
About my state of mind
More important things to address
Than these frivolous problems of mine.
