Why can’t you see through
The lies he told you?
The promises made
All the hate and the rage?

Why can’t  you believe
In this time of great need?
He is  damaged, unkind
He is out of his mind.

So crass and so loud
That’s all he’s about
He needs the applause
Says he’s building a wall.

Repeat and repeat
Things that simply aren’t true
If he says them enough 
He’ll convince even you. 

He is weak, thinks he’s tough
Full of bluster and bluff
Wants to control
He is callous and bold.

Out for the money
The power, the fame
Scamming and taking
The name of his game.

I pray to God
Every morning and night….
Help us thru these dark times
Please show us the light.

Can’t take anymore 
Of his lies and his scams 
He’s the devil incarnate
A sad, heartless man.

Dark and grey
It’s overcast
Snow’s expected 
It may pass.

Homebound … stuck
Will stay inside
Pinched myself
I’m still alive. 

Winter months
Hard to endure
Ice and snow
It’s cold, for sure. 

Fantasies of
Sandy beaches
Deep diving
With the ocean’s creatures. 

Cocktails under
Striped umbrellas
Filled with ice
Top shelf, they tell us.

Sitting by
A cozy fire
I fell asleep
Yes, I was tired.

Can’t decide
Just where to go
Beach or mountains
Sand or snow?

Summers north
So beautiful
I hate the heat
Guess, I’m no fool.

Beach fun
Part of one’s vacation
A mountain view
True relaxation.

Waking up….. the flood gates open
Anxiety…. from  all that’s broken
Everything‘s turned upside down
The country’s run by fools and clowns.

No escape from fear and hate
America ….. no longer great
No regard for rules or laws
Can’t believe just what I saw. 

A video from January six
The police knocked down, then brutally kicked
Out numbered by a vicious crowd
Screaming “Hang Pence Now” so damn loud. 

How could this … have ever happened?
Why can’t someone try and stop him?
He’ s commandeered our government
This can’t be what you really meant.

When you boldly cast your vote
Who knew we’d end up in this boat?
Surrounded by nazi wannabes
Somebody, please …. come rescue me.

It’s 4  a. m.
Just getting in
Took off my shoes
I won’t wake him.

Sleeping on
The couch again
Been out all night
With my best friend.

Don’t want to get
The third degree
I’m sure he
Waited up for me.

Can’t take the stress
Not what I need
Wish he would go
Or I should leave.

He’s not the one
Tired of pretending
Not looking for a 
Happy ending.

Kind and sweet
A real nice guy
Tries so hard
But, yes….. I lie. 

Won’t make a move
He’s  in denial
Won’t face the truth
Bout my lifestyle.

Caught my eye 
Can’t  forget
Was raining out
Got soaking wet.

Pants rolled up
Her jeans were tattered
Her t-shirt said….
Black Lives Matter.

Took a break
Walked right over
She looked at me
Felt like I’d known her.

Wanna hit?
Go outside?
Vape some weed?
“No, not tonight.”

Back on stage
She looked so hot
I sang to her
Stoned or not.

Hoped she’d stay
Bought her a drink
Loved her tats
And her earrings. 

Told her
I’d be free at ten
Hoped she’d hang around 
Till then.

Missile lock
Was mesmerized
When I looked 
Into her eyes. 

Felt the draw
The chemistry
Knew she was
The one for me.

No guardrails
No protection
We’re under siege
Where’s the objection?

The journalists 
Present the facts
But,  then they have
To watch their backs. 

Republicans
Behind closed doors
Say they can’t take it
Anymore.  

But, won’t take a stand
Take up the cause
When he walks in
They too applaud.

Everyone’s
Afraid of him
That evil laugh
That evil grin.

The government
Now his alone
To tear apart 
Down to the bone.

No respect
For rules or laws
Out of control
Without due cause.

Everyone
Shakes and shivers
Cause they’re  takers
None are givers. 

Scared of where
This all will lead
He is evil
Filled with greed. 

The weak will suffer 
The rich prevail
Why  can’t they put
This man in jail?

Children starving
Around the globe
They’ve been cut off
Because of DOGE. 

The billionaires
Like Elon Musk
An evil man
We cannot trust. 

Call Washington 
Your Congressman
We must fight back
Get rid of them.

I want more financial freedom
Some money just for me
Don’t want  to ask permission 
Looking for autonomy.

Make my own decisions
Decide things for myself
Tired of all the censorship
Don’t always want your help.

Not saying I’m not grateful
You are wise beyond your years
But, when I want to buy something
I shouldn’t quake in fear. 

Must account for every penny
No money of my own
Every dime and every nickel
No checks are mine alone. 

Nice to have someone in charge
Yes, you pay all of our bills
But, I don’t like to ask
I want to spend some cash at will.

Not planning a big purchase
Just a few bucks here and there
Wouldn’t go hog wild …you know it
You know that I’d never dare. 

But, you  can use a credit card
Never asking for permission
Me? I check in with you
Then endure an inquisition. 

So… no more harboring resentment 
No more anger to  repress
It’s all there up on the table
My concerns now off my chest.

Things aren’t the same, I feel it
Notice you don’t come around
But, know that you like shopping
And, like coming into town.

Heard you told your sister
About the things you found on sale
But, you never stop to see me 
You don’t want to, I can tell.

Was it something that I said 
Did I rub you the wrong way?
Thought that we were such good friends
But, now I feel  betrayed.

Wishing you’d  come over
I’d make us a pot of tea
Would love to know what’s going on
Please don’t abandon me. 

Would make some carrot muffins
With your favorite icing, too
We could sit and chat a bit
Love spending time with you.

Don’t want to go
But, fear I must
Pack my bags
I’m in a rush.

Everything’s
Turned upside down
Our country now
Is run by clowns.

Rights are severed
We’re not safe
Things are bad
Will leave today.

Passport ready
Funds in place
Once I’m gone
Won’t leave a trace.

Not one to quit
To give it up
But, I have had
I’ve had enough.

No PBS,
No  NPR
The media’s|
Been crushed and scarred.

Women’s rights
Don’t exist
Diversity
A mere blacklist.

Government
Now overtaken
Justice ended
It’s forsaken.

The best is gone
Our USA
Who knew that things
Would end this way.

When God calls, we’ll be protected
Even if….it’s unexpected
He has a plan …. though unaware
Not ours to question, if it’s fair. 

Could be sudden, perhaps an illness
Whatever fate , we’ll seek forgiveness
Some quite old, some  very young
Some will be sad, the day is done.

When it’s time, he’ll call us home
May send an angel, won’t be alone
We’ll know such jubilation
We’ll rejoice…. we’re his creation.

A short walk through heaven’s gate
A note of thanks for this our fate
A promise kept  for a good life
For trying hard to do what’s  right.

A kind word, a thoughtful gesture
A halt of anger,  before it festers
A word of hope …. for the downtrodden
Those acts of kindness, are not forgotten.
