HAPPY HALLOWEEN (A Re-Post)

Happy, Happy Halloween
To scary ghouls, who make us scream
With terrifying sights and sounds.
Such horror lurks, below the ground.

Arise, prepare to shock and scare
The unsuspecting, if they dare
To walk alone from door to door
To beg for candy, treats and more.

The witches wait, beneath the moon
For kiddies who will pass by soon
The cauldron bubbles, the night is young
All Hallow’s Eve has now begun.

Looking for the perfect treat
A small one passes on the street
The smell of candy’s in the air
A traveler yes…. without a care.

Snatch him up, don’t let him go!
The moon shines bright, on those below
The ambers burn, so hot the cauldron
So sweet the flavor…. of little children.

A thankless boy, you best be not
For fear, you’ll end up in the pot
A little boy makes such fine cuisine
For goblins, freaks and other fiends.

Best to learn, to stay in groups
Don’t wonder off, your neighbor’s stoop
Say “thank you”, when a treat is given
By the dead, or those still living.

CONGRESS

57 vessels to date
People indiscriminately killed
No compassion or discretion 
No one’s questioning his will.

Human life of little value
No empathy, no heart
The boats and all its passengers
Completely blown apart.

He ‘s a bully, he’s a madman
He’s evil to the core
He is toying with Venezuela
Cause he wants to start a war.

Anything to stay in office
Another four more years
He has no plan to walk away
His message…. loud and clear.

He’s intent on having his way
He’s a demon, he’s a liar.
He’s tearing down the White House
Building up his own empire.

No regard for laws or values
He is soooo….. out of control
Wants total domination
It’s his focus, it’s his goal.

Other nations are astounded
Can’t believe their very eyes
Why would you let this happened
Can you tell us, tell us why?

You’re in Congress for a reason
What about your constituents?
You’re there to represent us
Not to do just what he wants. 

He’s a felon, he’s a psychopath
A malignant narcissist 
He’s led you down a rabbit hole
Aren’t you tired of this?

You took an oath of honor
To uphold, to tell the truth
To represent the people
So, what are you going to do?

A THREAT TO MANKIND

Pull back the curtain
See for yourself
This man is a monster
In love with himself.

Bent on destruction
Abhorrent misuse
The quest for power
The ongoing abuse.

Thrives on conflict
Seeking revenge
Loves litigation 
It’s all about him.

The money, the power
It’s gone on too long
The killings, the murders
Something’s gone wrong.

The shake downs, the bribes
The collusion, the threats
He’s not going to stop
Don’t ignore what he says.

Withholding files
After Epstein is killed
Bondi protects him
She’s his cover, his shield.

Without approval 
He destroys the east wing
Does whatever he wants
He controls everything. 

Rogue and unbridled 
A threat to mankind
Thinks he’s a king 
He is out of his mind. 

A planned genocide
Don’t you understand?
He and Netanyahu 
Destroyed the holy land.

They bombed hospitals and schools
They  murdered innocent women and
children
They massacred and violated
Yes, in cold blood …. they killed them!

If you have any amount of decency
Respond for heaven’s sake
Put forth  Articles of Impeachment 
Before, it is too late.

TIME TO MOVE ON

It’s hard being without you
Nothing feels quite the same
I can’t help but wonder
Was it me …. was I to blame?

Things sometimes just happen
They’re not meant to be
Though I tried and I tried
You had stopped loving me.

Every secret we shared 
In the night, in the dark
Those intimate moments
Left such a deep scar.

The candlelight dinners
Your alluring, sweet charm
The wine and the music
Being held in your arms. 

The memories …. painful
Wish I knew what went wrong 
I sit here and replay
Our favorite song.

The nuance, the newness
When two people first meet
That energy surge
Feels so good, it’s so sweet. 

But, that dopamine high
Lasts for only so long
And, when it’s over
Things start to go wrong.

Time for a new hit
You look for that fix
Somebody new
Who can supply it. 

Some call it love
But, it never lasts
Once it’s all over
Off comes the mask.

What you thought was true love
Has vanished, it’s gone
You have to accept it
It’s time to move on.

MAGICAL

The butterfly’s wings 
So fragile, so meek
The image surreal
Breathtakingly sweet. 

I watch from the window
A moment in time 
I believe she is magical
A message, a sign. 

I stop what I’m doing
Fixating my gaze
Watching, admiring
Completely amazed.

Her journey …. astounding
One place to another
She often encounters
The rain and the thunder.

Under a leaf
A safe, brief respite
Waiting and hoping
That she’ll be alright. 

The new day is dawning
The sky…. a bit gray
While in the garden 
I watch her fly away.

STOP HIM

How dark and cold could he be?
Who actually fired the missiles?
Who got the order to explode
The island fishing vessel?

If drugs were being smuggled 
Why not move in, make an arrest
Approach their boats, search and seize
Instead they are now dead. 

Unlawful and immoral
The actions of a psychopath
Cold blooded murder, without knowing
Not aware of all the facts. 

The taste of blood and power
Has ignited his hormones
He thrives on hurting others
He’s evil to the bone. 

No threat to our nation
Nothing there for him to see
Wants to provoke Maduro
He’s got something up his sleeve.

No matter what he thinks or does
He has their full support
Republicans should be outraged
After hearing these reports.

He’s off the leash, running wild
No barricades, no safeguards
Congress needs to reign him in
Can’t tell what side they play for.

He’s demolishing the Whitehouse
Causing panic in our streets
He’s giving millions to other nations
While our country is in need. 

Pull yourselves together
Stand up to this madman
You have the full authority 
You can stop him, yes you can.

HOW DARE YOU

How dare you tear down the east wing
Build a ballroom in its place
You’re destroying years of tradition
You have no right, no class, or taste.

Ordering the demolition
Of part of the people’s house
If it’s not a crime, it should be
Wish that you would just move out.

No required building permits?
Exempt from the Preservation Act
No federal laws to stop you
Someone’s always got your back.

The rules and regulations 
Just don’t apply to you
The court gave you immunity
A crazy thing to do!

Million dollar donors
Throwing money at your feet
For a  90,000 square foot
Obscene monstrosity.

Have they read the Constitution?
Have they heard of emoluments?
You’re not supposed to accept gifts
Not while you’re president.

What’s with Apple and with Google?
What in turn do they expect?
Why would they give you money
To advance this vile project?

They are guilty, they’re enablers
Empowered by money and greed
Their goal to acquire your favor
While destroying our democracy.

So the rich will have their ballroom
Their tuxedos and evening gowns
They’ll be served expensive dinners
More than enough to go around.

In the image of Mar- a – Lago
The Whitehouse will soon be changed
It’s character and purpose
Will no longer be the same.

TRACE DNA

No lingering prints
Shells or encasements
Not much to be found
On the grass, near the pavement.

Fireworks that night
Masked the sound of the gun
No need for concern
Kids just having fun.

With her dog on a leash
A woman walked by
She caught a glimpse
Of a slender, white guy.

Could be in his 30’s
He was wearing a hat
Was sure it was gray
She was sure, sure of that. 

That night in the park
A young woman was shot
Was killed at close range
Did she know him or not?

An offer…. $5,000
An incentive reward
Hoping for someone
To provide something more.

Maybe he was
Someone that she knew
The story was aired
On the 6 o’clock news.

Flyers were posted
All over town 
Maybe someone 
Had seen him around.

Though hard to find
In the bark of a tree
One bullet had lodged
He had fired at least three.

There was something else
Found close to the scene
A surgical mask
That was black and dark green.

Four murders unsolved
What’s it gonna take?
This one at the park
Not far from the lake.

So lucky to find 
Some trace DNA
Might just be enough
To put him away.

WE’VE HAD ENOUGH

Every effort to eviscerate
Our cherished Constitution 
You have no regard for us
Or, our steadfast Institutions. 

Have to wonder about you
So intent on our destruction
Why do you try so hard 
To destroy our peaceful nation?

Why give money to Argentina
When our government’s shut down?
What about our jobs, our pay, our lives
Wait a minute, turn around.

That money needs to stay here
Right here  in the United States
You promised you would put us first
All we do is sit and wait.

Slight of hand, a bridge too far
Always something up your sleeve
A way to make more money
To satisfy your thirst, your greed.

Dropping feces from a jet?
That’s what you think off us?
We are your constituents 
What we’re feeling is disgust.

You are childish, so immature
Thriving on hate and revenge
Vindictive, jealous, filled with contempt
When will this ever end?

Seven million people 
Have at last ….  stood up to you
They’ve made their feelings known
What do you plan to do?

Resign, you need to go
Take your band of thieves, your crew
Pack up your bags, skid addle
We have had enough of you.

THE RIGHT TO PROTEST

Devoid of empathy
Filled with greed and hate
Nothing he is doing
Is kind, nor is it great. 

Deplorable behavior 
Blood dripping from his hands
Causing death and destruction 
Just because he knows he can. 

Blowing up boats from Venezuela 
Without legal Search and Seizure
Just complete annihilation
In a rage,  a killing fever.

Murder and bribery
Threats and manipulation 
No conscience or remorse
No seconds thoughts or hesitation.

Initiating and provoking
Via hate and  prejudice
Calling Democrats , “ANTIFA”
Is enough to make you sick.

Lies and propaganda 
He really just can’t wait
To spread his vile agenda 
To every city, and every state. 

Laying a foundation
Paved with lies and fear
Provoking and triggering 
His message is quite clear. 

Control and suppression
A gateway to dictatorship
This country is rebelling
They object to all of this. 

A “No King’s” demonstration 
A peaceful, calm, protest
We have the right to speak out
Without fear of an arrest.

The right to march in unity
To voice objections, to be heard
Should not be met with violence
We all know this is absurd. 

How do we stop this madness?
He’s a bully, through and through
If republicans won’t help us
I’m afraid it’s up to you.
