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.

A picture perfect romance
Behind the scenes, a sham
Constant fights and bickering
The wolf bullies the lamb. 

The threats, the accusations
His fist punched thru the wall
Multiple violent episodes
The 911 blocked calls.

I’m going to need a lawyer
I’ve got to make a plan
I’ve got to find the strength to go
To do it …. while I can.

Will need to leave the country
May need to change my name
No matter what l say or do
He tells me I’m to blame.

There’s no one I can talk to
I’m here all on my own
Dealing with a narcissist
Whose heart is made of stone. 

He said he’s working late tonight
I’m packed …. ready to go
He can’t know my whereabouts 
No, he can never know!

An Uber to the airport 
After Customs to the gate
Once on the plane, I can relax
That’s when I’ll know …. I’m safe.

What is it that you want from me?
What are you looking for?
Take a hint, turn around
Walk on out the door.

Gotta know that you’re not welcome 
You really have some nerve
Showing up, walking in
I guess you haven’t heard. 

I found someone that I can trust
Someone who makes me laugh
Someone who I can turn to
He’s now my better half.

I’ve heard all your excuses
I’ve listened to your lies 
I don’t need to tolerate
Your senseless alibis.

Move on, nothing to talk about
There’s nothing here for you
You burned all of your bridges
You’re just someone I once knew.  

Apologies unaccepted
The pain cut way too deep
Unable to rehash the noise
You’re putting me to sleep. 

I’m no longer interested
Not going to play your game
Been there, done that, more times than not
Don’t need more of the same.

What can we do?
Congress is tainted 
When Schumer spoke
I nearly fainted.

Heard what he said
Wants to give in
What was he thinking?
Explain it again.

Straight up coercion
The threats and lies
With no way out
I’m going to cry.

We’re on the run
Damn right… I’m scared
Backed in a corner
It’s just not fair. 

They’re cutting jobs
They say…. it’s legal
We know the truth
Elon is evil.

Why the threat
Of a collapse?
Stand up to them
We must push back.

Let’s stand our ground
We can’t give up
Please tell  the Republicans
Enough is enough. 

The folks back home
 Are  asking why
The cost of eggs 
Is now sky high. 

Trump and Elon
Have taken control
They have no conscience , 
No heart  or soul.
