He Who Has The Clout Makes The Rules III
MIAMI, FLORIDA
Ginger Estates
Darla pulled her vehicle into her driveway, turned off the ignition, and withdrew the key. She noticed her living room light was on, something she know she turned off before she left out.
She opened her purse and fumbled inside for her cell phone.
“Wait, I set my alarm.”
Darla removed her set of keys, and closed her purse back. She unsnapped her seatbelt, opened her car door, and closed it. She walked to her front door; she went to peep inside her window. She saw no one stirring about. She looked over at her...

Buyer's Remorse
When the candidate that you voted for has major flaws
they can't be returned via the lemon laws
Even if you have justifiable cause
life is not a VR game that you can reset or put on pause
A Tariff is a tax
and those are the facts
ICE for some will be their newest escort
and for their whole family they will deport
Should they put up a fight-on their throat they will place a knee
and get away with it bc they will have full immunity
Trump voters in due course ...

Mobster Republic
It's inconvenient to follow rules
when getting ahead is all that you want
and not a feeling of guilt which will haunt
like it does to morality fools
who aren't really trying if they don't cheat
or use a loophole like the lawyers do
keeping rights for just them and not for you
by twisting a law into a deceit
well covered by amendment number five
when they know that telling the truth will hurt
if perjury and proof might contravert
your testimony as more gangster jive...
and we can't have that when there's crime to do ...

WHEN IT'S OVER
Here we are going through the process of voting, for what we believe is in our best interest of our lives. But yet it's here and now that, we shall be face with the unknown of haunted, memories of the last few years of voting. 🤨 For sure as our votes are being counted we can't help, but wonder about the true outcome of this election, of good verse evil that never has been proven to be fair. 😠 For as we wait for the results of this election, let's keep in mind one party always finds it's necessary to cheat. 🤨 LIKE children's in the park having a race to see who, will be...

narcissist in my house II; the end
he doesn't want to see outside himself, nor does he want to do anything that doesn't benefit him.
he doesn't care enough about himself to have the capacity to care for others.
he was never taught the inherent value of ... and he refuses to learn.
he hates me because he ain't me.
he thrived when I struggled because it gave the illusion we were equal.
he always knew I was better than him, and now he knows I know.
instead of leaving or leveling up he rode my coattails and hoped for the best.
I will not treat him as he treats me.
I will...

anyhow, I need a fool, whispering in my head ..
it doesn’t matter how much
power and wealth you’ve accrued,
you’re health will eventually fail and you’ll end up as dead
as the people you’ve screwed

A Useless Position
Waste of space, waste of money
People laugh but, it's not funny
ALL president's are a piece of shit
Nothing new, we have to deal with it
Circus clowns getting loud
Idiots with devious lies, make us proud!
Anyone could do the job,
Scandals and corruption, lets form a lynch-mob
Too much power, a frightful future
Starting wars for businessmen,
Beg on tv, become a moocher
Killing in the name of greed
Above the law, manipulate by planting the seed
It's just a show, all presidents are a pathetic joke
Everything's controlled by...

Corporate Takeover
They're not your friends to lend a helping hand
They don't care about you, they're psychopaths
No concern for what is sold,
as long as it's profitable
Wealth is the single purpose
There is no pride for a product
Eaten alive by another,
acquisition, merger
Take the foundation to decorate the top
Without a base, the pyramid will collapse
There must be continuous growth to survive
No one can ever be satisfied
Discomfort is the key to a robust economy
Keep consumers always wanting, keep people unhappy
The world is conquered,...

Genocidal Maniac
We will never know how many millions Stalin killed
This man always gets a free pass
Russians still rank him as a great leader
Another bloodthirsty czar, murdering the lower middle class
Early 1930's, Stalin nearly had a million of his own citizens executed
Forced labor, deportation, famine, massacres, detention and prosecution
Chewed up the lives of human beings in the name of a transformative vision of Utopia
The Ukrainian famine was triggered by the destruction of Kulak farmers, a hellish dystopia
3 million to 5 million peasants died of...

Blue Memphis
Blue Memphis
Young man Ty was going home
After taking in the sunset
Skateboarder and a father
Didn’t know what was up around the bend
Just a few blocks from home
Where Momma was waiting
Would even stop home for
Lunch with his favorite lady
Feelin real blue in the heart of Memphis
Feelin real blue in the heart of Memphis
Now a 4 year old is asking
Where’s Daddy I want him to come home
But it’s a long way to redemption for
The bastards that did this
Weren’t they...

Gold
Gold
Gold
Gold
Why so bold?
I'm spinning around your
Tightened hold.
You don't know it,
But I do
Can't stop thinking about you.
Blinded by fabric,
Spun out of greed.
So focused, so focused
I cannot see.
Had that chance,
Never won.
Tried and tried to escape
From the poison
Foggy is my mind
And blinded is my eye,
Will I end up
Another rigged die?
Tightened my grip,
Just for kicks.
After a while I started to slip.
I make sound when...
Gold
Gold
Why so bold?
I'm spinning around your
Tightened hold.
You don't know it,

Letter To America
Dear America and your illusion of greatness. Your wealth and prosperity and honor and democracy. Has not been built upon these principals and ideals, that you wish others to believe that this country was built upon.
It was built upon a theft of a nation, the blood and sweat of a nation and human degradation. Not on the moral grounds of humanity, yet it was built on the dehumanization of the people you have violently snatched it from.
On the whipped backs of slaves, and on the trail of tears that you have created. What civilization have you given those that you have...
