Your pompous arrogance
And that smug smile upon your face
Demonstrates your lack of
Morality and grace.

Watching from afar
Your house of cards and lies
Soon to crumble and to fall
They’ll be no compromise.

Years of shady deals and trades
Dirty money changing hands
Crooked and corrupt
Such evil twisted plans.

The skimming and the laundering
The loans through foreign banks
By you and family members
All your friends and confidantes.

You soon will be indicted
You will  find yourself in court
No pardons or excuses
No government support.

Frightened and timid
Anxious and scared
She never speaks up
She never would dare.

Told what to do
Her opinions deferred
Her feelings don’t matter
So seldom are heard.

Stifled, subdued
She sits all alone
Keeps thoughts to herself
When she is at home.

But, in cyberspace
Her spirit thrives.
She expresses herself
It’s where she comes alive.

Respected and noted
Her voice and opinions
On social media
She matters to millions.

But, back at home
Passive and shy
She never questions
She ‘d never ask “why”.

Her husband and children
Tell her what to do
She follows their lead
She never argues.

She sits at the table
Sipping her tea
They know she will always
Always….agree.

Meatball sliders
Parmesan cheese
Olives and crackers
Whatever you need.

Fried chicken tenders
Salad galore
Who made the pickles?
Are there anymore?

A potluck party
Friends gather  around
Check out the desserts
You won’t gain a pound.

Wine, soda or water
Juice freshly squeezed
What else could you ask for?
What else could you need?

Marooned and sadly forsaken
Abandoned after the storm
There were reasons for hesitation
There were signs, you were told, you were warned.

Take heed, pay attention, take cover
You’ve got to learn to protect yourself
Don’t give in to the pain and the suffering
Reach out, find a way to get help.

Everywhere that you go, there are memories
The love that you had…. didn’t last
Your mistakes and all of your choices
Nothing more than a part of your past.

It’s time to erase all the sadness
Forget everything you’ve been through
Get up and get over the heartache
Start over, find a way,  start anew.

You need to let go of the longing
Things will never be the same, again
Let go of the feelings of sorrow
It’s over, it’s done, it’s the end.

A cold and manipulative opportunist
Trolling for the next one in line
Easily and innocently overtaken
It’s was simply a matter of time.

A victim, innocent and unsuspecting
You were convenient, such easy prey
You fell hard , you succumbed to the madness
Forget that it happened, find a way.

There’s  nothing left to hold onto
Conveniently she packed up and moved on
Face the fact  that it’s over, forget it
Though tragic, be thankful she’s gone.

Above the courtyard
Across from your flat
I watch from a distance
Like a curious cat.

No curtains to draw
No shades to be closed
I can’t help myself
I should,   yes… I know.

I can’t look away
I’m  a voyeur
I can’t help myself
I stop and I stare.

Your hair somewhat long
You’re so gorgeous…so   lean
I watch you do yoga
You have a routine.

You lay down your mat
You sit on the floor
A chance to relax
That’s what Yoga’s for.

Your kitchen in view
You start to prepare
Your dinner is made
With such love and care.

Wine glass in hand
Once dinner is through
You pick up your book
Every night I watch you.

You read for awhile
You’re  there on your own
No one beside you
You live all alone.

Just before  ten
The lights are turned off
I imagine you there
Asleep in your loft.

I fantasize daily
Holding you in my arms
Sleeping beside you
Safe and sound through a storm.

But you don’t even know me
I’m the geek cross the way
If I ever met you
Wouldn’t know what to say.

Step back, stay away
Please leave me alone
I can’t bear to listen
Wanna be on my own.

The lies,  the excuses
They’re  too much anymore
I’m tired and I’m weary
What are you here for?

Walk away from my doorway
Get back in your car
You aren’t welcome here
You pushed things too far.

Nothing left to make sense of
No need to explain
Your story’s been told
Heard it time and again.

Just back it on up
Please be on your way
Nothing more for you here
Nothing more left  to say.

No vendettas or ill wishes
Just wiping the slate clean
Tending to my heartache
No further need to intervene.

Brutal and vicious
The harm we inflict
Callous and cruel
We lay it on thick.

The smiles and the grins
When someone is suffering
We’ve mastered the tools
There is no recovering.

With deadly force
And a battery ramp
We slam it on home
Lick the final stamp.

What causes the chaos?
What promotes the fear?
How could we  ignore you
Ignore all your tears?

Heartless and cold
Knocked to the ground
Stepped over, stepped on
We’ll push you right down.

No kindness or love
We’ve learned to hate
We build our walls high
To make America great.

The howling wind
The blanketing snow
Impassable roads
With nowhere to go.

The blazing fire
The crimson glow
The warmth of coffee
The drifts below.

Nature’s storm
Fierce and cold
The lake now frozen
The storm so bold.

Nary a traveler
Sets out alone
To battle the winds
For they’re safer at home.

The animals sheltered
Now huddled together
No chance you will find
Any out in this weather.

Through the night
We’ll hear the wind
The storm now passed
The day begins.

The deer now brazen
Looking for berries
Those ice covered morsels
In snow …. some are buried.

The ice on the branches
Weighs heavy with snow
They glisten and sparkle
As the wind gently blows.

Christmas is coming
Santa will find his way
Through the night he will travel
With his reindeer and sleighs.

A bonus, a discount
Is not meant for you
They’re given to the rich
Who are never past due.

No rights and no cuts
No benefits in kind
Nothing gets shared
To those left behind.

Paycheck to paycheck
At minimum wage
No chance to break even
Not a cent left to save.

Where is the incentive?
You muddle along
You work 40  hours
Your struggle prolonged.

The rich get richer
The poor left behind
The middle class flounder
Still waiting in line.

Pinpricks and stabbings
Needles and tracks
Shoved into your arm
Broke your mother’s back.

Salt over the shoulder
Poured into your wounds
Too much to endure
You gave up too soon.

We watch while you falter
We watch from afar
The powder, the candy
The ones that leave scars.

Slipping and slidding
Into the abyss
Wondering why
You couldn’t resist.

With hands in the air
You circle the drain
There’s just no way out
From the depths of your pain.
