To say I am disgusted
Would be an understatement
While watching what is happening
To our waning, weakened government.

Trump has infiltrated
And disrupted life as we know it
He is without a moral compass
And is not afraid to show it.

He blatantly flaunts his power
Takes and never will give back
Doesn’t care who he hurts
He’s an ego maniac.

Dragging us thru the mud
While all the world is watching
Making fools of us
While sitting back and laughing.

Disrupting and dismantling
All our rules and regulations
Anything that he can do
Demanding resignations.

All that we’ve held sacred
Has been cast into the wind
He doesn’t value morality
He will prevail, he always wins.

So smug and oh so sure
Knowing he can’t be indicted
He’s sitting there getting over on us
While elated and insanely excited.

His base getting drunk on all the koolaid
The one percent as happy as can be
They are making more and more money
They are as rich as they ever could be.

What will bring about an end to this?
Will he ever be brought down?
Are we destined to be governed by
This evil, maniacal clown?

A beautiful, sunny day
Blue sky and fluffy clouds
Birds singing, squirrels chirping
Nature’s symphony aroused.

The sound of running water
Heard from the creek below
The children splashing, the sound of laughter
A familiar noise echoes.

A man hiking with his husky
Walks slowly down the path
The dog barks and runs ahead
The children scream, then laugh.

The dog jumps in to join them
All happily splashing around
The frogs watch from a nearby log
That sits up on the ground.

A lazy summer afternoon
With family and with friends
Passes by too quickly
Too soon comes to en end.

There’s no collusion
Yeah, I lied
No collision
Though Russian ties.

Congress supports me
You can’t touch me
Say what u want
They won’t agree.

They won’t impeach
I laugh out loud
Check out my base
See all those crowds?

My lies prevail
Can’t prosecute
You can’t indict
I’m scamming you.

I’ m gonna skate,
And I will wail
No chance that I
Will go to jail.

Laws don’t apply
I get my way
Doesn’t matter
What lawyers say.

No help for you
Just millionaires
Can’t you see
I just don’t care.

It’s about me
What I can get ?
I line my pockets
Don’t forget.

I’ll sell you out
You won’t be free
You need to bow
Bow down to me.

I rule the world
As president
I was elected
Though negligent.

I play with words
I’ll call you names
Your lives will never
Be the same.

I’ll turn it all
Inside out
That’ what I
Am all about.

No rules apply
Not to this guy
You scratch your head
And wonder why.

You stayed at home
You didn’t vote
You lost out
You gave up hope.

The time was right
I stepped in
Now I’m in charge
I win again.

She sat alone in her house
Afraid to go outside
She sat alone day after day
Alone inside and cried.

The heartache that lingered on
Plagued her with guilt and shame
The finger pointing, the cruel, cold stares
They said she was to blame.

So desolate and isolating
She never would fight back
Refused to stand up for herself
Against their bold attack.

Relentless and unforgiving
They refused to see her side
The truth was never to be known
All that prevailed were lies.

All the cheating and the lying
Was everywhere she turned
Their status and their power
Was taken…. never earned.

Picture perfect memories
Frozen in the past
Cherished in her scrapbook
Never meant to last.

It’s hot outside, you’re tired and weak
But there’s still so much to do
Please don’t give up, not just yet
We depending upon you.

The primaries will be over soon
Though your back and feet still ache
We’ve got to pull together now
There’s so much that’s still at stake.

A vote or two could change it all
It could make all the difference
We’ve got to stand up for what is right
Stop bigotry and racism.

Anger, violence and aggression
Aren’t what we all stand for
Kindness, care and compassion
Are what we’re striving for.

Money out of politics
Honor and love of country
These are reasons to get off the couch
To come out and try and help me.

More doors to knock, forms to fill out
Pull up that Mini Van
Don’t give up now, we’ve got to try
To give it all we can.

That one person sitting at home
Is waiting just for you
She’s not sure which way to go
Please show her what to do.

She’ll welcome all your insight
Your attention and your time
One more vote to tip the scale
A chance to change her mind.

Do it for McDougall
For Blake and Walker, too
Give it one more try today
You know just what to do.

“Hands out of your pockets
Hands behind your back
Step away from your vehicle
What‘s this? You got some smack?”

“No, sir that’s my cereal
It’s wheat germ fortified
I mix it with some fruit juice
It’s organic… no pesticides”.

“Who you think you’re kidding?
Looks like drugs to me
Where you going? What’s your hurry?
Gotta make a delivery?”

“No way, I work at the lumber yard
I carry boards around all day
Sometimes I drive a forklift
I don’t do drugs, not me, no way.”

“Where’s your wallet and your license?
You got an ID or a tag?”
“Yes sir, they’re in my jacket
I ain’t trying to get you mad.”

Once cleared of any charges
His story verified
An apology was accepted
“See I told you, I don’t lie”.

Not a crook and not a dealer
He was uncuffed and set free
No ticket or citations
No charge or felonies.

Let’s sit and chat the day away
Would you like a cup of tea?
I’ve made some scones and macaroons
Please come and sit with me.

Let’s converse out in the garden
Underneath the canopy
Let’s spend some time together
Alone just you and me.

I have so much to tell you
We’ve been apart for quite awhile
So glad that we can sit and talk
So nice to see you smile.

We’ve shared so many secrets
So many treasures one by one
We’ve known each other for so long
Since we were very young.

Now that we’re getting older
Our hair is turning gray
But, I know inside we’re still those girls
Who loved to dance and play.

I think about your mother
I still see her sitting there
She was always oh, so good to me
I knew how much she cared.

Sunday dinners at your house
Our walks thru Central Park
The fun we had on holidays
Playing “hide n seek” till dark.

Our children all have grown up now
They have children of their own
Time seems to pass by so fast
Someday we’ll be alone.

So glad you stopped by for tea
Let’s enjoy this afternoon
Please pass the cream and sugar
Have another macaroon.

Though we’ve had our share of heartache
Let’s try not to forget
The beginning of our friendship
And give thanks that we had met.

Scavenging for bits and scraps
I wandered round the town
Nothing much to sniff or scratch
No food or water found.

One day I met an angel
Who gave me a loving wink
A bowl of tuna, a few sweet nods
And a cold, clean, tasty drink.

She bent down and picked me up
She was kind as she could be
She held me close, touched my head
And said that she loved me.

Not allowed to go inside
I followed close behind
She walked towards her front door
Our steps now intertwined.

“No, no sweet kitty, you can’t come in
You can’t come in this time”
I purred and got up close to her
Hoping she would change her mind.

If she would just give me a chance
I’d never scratch, or bite
I’ll cuddle up with her each day
And…each and every night.

For : Randi

Plagued with doubt
Guilt and shame
You carry the weight
You shoulder the blame.

Memories clouding
Your days and your nights
Nothings feels good
Nothing feels right.

No chance to explain
One sided and cold
The story’s been stated
The version retold.

Defamed and ignored
Shunned and judged
Why haven’t you felt
That enough is enough?

Locked in and self poised
Viewed from afar
Shut out and condemned
No door left ajar.

You’ve suffered
You’re hurt
Your dues have been paid
Stop feeling alone, stop feeling afraid.

The walls are in place
There’s no room for you
It will never change
Not a thing you can do.

Time to give in
Stop fueling the fire
Your wasting each day
Each minute, each hour.

We all make mistakes
You’ve tried time and again
Now it’s time to let go
The torment must end.

It was late on a cold windy night
I walked the beach alone
No one was there waiting for me
I was in no hurry to get back home.

The wind was blowing, the water rough
I walked along the sandy shore
My head held down, I covered my ears
But, could still hear the ocean roar.

The ghost crabs scurrying, running about
The sky was dark, the moon was hidden
All the stars gone from sight
Their sparkle for now, forbidden.

I saw a light in the distance
A fisherman sat huddled in a chair
He threw his line out in the dark
Tended it with loving care.

He had a bucket of white fish
Sitting by his side
Said he had better luck at night
When fishing in high tide.

I walked about two miles before
Deciding to head on back
I was cold and started feeling tired
The sky now turning black.

Slivers of silver lightning
Igniting the clouds in the sky
The thunder beginning to rumble
The sky was about to cry.

A few raindrops fell upon my face
It was time to head back home
I started to feel cold and damp
Chilled right down to the bone.

When I got back, took off my jacket
It’s the one I always wear
I poured a cup of coffee
Then sat back in my easy chair.
