Motives
One of the reasons that MAGA folks get so hung up on the letter of the law, particularly the specifics that their lawyers can semantically sabotage to their own perverted ends, is so that they can more readily mask their deep seated desire to use the law as a jurisprudentially rubber stamped vehicle to vicariously deliver the punishment that scratches their continual sadism itch, which they will never admit to.
And of course their deep seated desire for seeing punishment delivered leads to the ceaseless miscarriages of justice, that are so shocking to the rest of us, yet it is the...

the quality of mercy
❝The quality of mercy is not strained.
It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven
Upon the place beneath. It is twice blessed:
It blesseth him that gives and him that takes.❞
—William Shakespeare
would you be cruel to a wounded fawn?
would you shame still a bruised or broken reed?
would punish you a penitential lamb?
or trample on its path a struggling seed?
has callousness all mercy swept from you,
all pity clean repealed from hope's purview?
would you the hungry...

To The Gates Of Hell
Trump is an unnatural disaster
working for Satan his Master
He has come to kill steal and destroy
that's right MAGA voters that's your boy
When sworn in he didn't put his hand on the Bible
if I am lying sue me for liable
All of this chaos is by design
things again in America may never be fine
The zeitgeist of the US is unwell
for we are being led-To The Gates of Hell
working for Satan his Master
He has come to kill steal and destroy
that's right MAGA voters that's your boy
When sworn in he didn't put his hand on the Bible
if I am lying sue me for liable
All of this chaos is by design
things again in America may never be fine
The zeitgeist of the US is unwell
for we are being led-To The Gates of Hell

Grey
Childhood bliss,
Hiding under blankets
In a dark night
Soon the covers would be taken
Just for spite.
Unknown to hate,
A small sprout
Sheltered by trees
I miss those days when we'd run around
as we pleased.
Childhood was forgiving,
Childhood was free.
Childhood was less than rent now for me.
Now it's all different
What colors?
They refract and bend.
It seems this harsh reality won't end.
What once was radiant,
is now grey
And the children are filled with dismay
Because that's...
Hiding under blankets
In a dark night
Soon the covers would be taken
Just for spite.
Unknown to hate,
A small sprout
Sheltered by trees
I miss those days when we'd run around
as we pleased.
Childhood was forgiving,
Childhood was free.
Childhood was less than rent now for me.
Now it's all different
What colors?
They refract and bend.
It seems this harsh reality won't end.
What once was radiant,
is now grey
And the children are filled with dismay
Because that's...

I'd love to know, I really would,
how we might real time chart
the current popularity of a word.
Then correlate that data
with an online national database
of psychological definitions...
all to determine where OUR..."culture"
is heading with its intent.
Sure, we INDIDVIDUALY extrapolate
what we can...
from a whirlwind of headlines
that now have me believing...
that we are a nation of teenage bullies.

8 Guys Pizza
8 guys have more $$$
then the poorest 3.6 Billion people in the world
8 - EIGHT- WOW!!!
Talk about Being Behind The Eight Ball...
Pool-Pizza-No Soup for You
I-me, like many of us poor folk
struggle, worry, pray- To Pay
my bills on time,
get new tires for my car
buy food at Market Basket
and hope I have a little left over.
8 Guys-8 Slices of Pizza...
Maybe next paycheck
I can afford to buy me a new pair of shoes,
a small pepperoni pizza
and a Pespi...No Coke
then the poorest 3.6 Billion people in the world
8 - EIGHT- WOW!!!

Taking Over
A new force has risen. The good old days are done
We reinvent this system. A new age has begun
Alliance of disappointed members who have now conjoined
We share the same disgusts. It's time to feel our wrath
We'll knock you out in one breath
It's our turn to converge
The world needs to be cleansed of all the putrid noise
This pursuit that we chase, the fight is our life choice
Our honor should not be mocked. We're justified to protect it
Try and you will get fucked and you shall feel our wrath
We'll take you down in one breath
It's...

The Feminine Stain
When I was a kid
my dad said he could
tell always when
a book was penned
by female hand and mind,
in cases even where
a male pseudonym was used,
and so he’d have to put it down
and pick up something else instead,
a woman’s prose
being too flowery for him.
He was horrified when
I told him at 12
that my favourite author
was Agatha Christie,
but settled a little
when I was 15
and reading Patricia Highsmith,
because she was a lesbian
and therefore of masculine mind,
to his mind.

Beige pigs in long wigs
I hear her and her
cronies snorting
and laughing on
four seaters
so I went over,
leaning against
her chair like
some villain
she expects
us to become
told her i'm joining in
on the conversation,
knowing I overheard
her talking about me
her three friends look
down at the floor as
the train rolls into
London St Pancras
as she continues
to deny discussing
about me soon as
I stepped aboard
this rush hour train,
I repeat word

Conservatism and populism
are stupid in simultaneity
like double down loads of bumpkin jism
or Monsanto homogeneity.
Yet this is what the MAGA yokel wants
just to claim victory to be their own
in trite double down loads of tweets and taunts
no ethical mind would ever condone;
a bitter win that the ages have seen
as loss in every facet of the act
whereby the venting of a pent-up spleen
would sacrifice every established fact
which would give everyone the hope they need
to overcome the injustice decreed.
