Politics
Do you think they all lie
And not tell us the truth
Making me want to cry
You must be a sleuth
To figure out the falsehoods
Because they all tell them
Ruining our neighborhoods
Thinking we are dumb
Immigration
Too many immigrants are not good
Especially when we have laws
We have known since childhood
But it supports their cause
Build a wall
And enforce the statutes
Construct welcoming halls
And perform interviews
Teach them English
And United States history
What skills do they distinguish
And they will not be a mystery
Who are these people
Why do they come free
Make them townspeople
So we welcome them with glee
.
Poor
Too many impoverished and poor
Not earning enough to live
Live in grandeur
Or even to thrive
Why
Why can they not make a living
Where they can be healthy and spry
Is it our fault for giving
And not making them earn with grit
But there should be a safety net
But not permanent dependence
Where they act like a house pet
Giving too much
And not making them earn it
We gave many a crutch
With too much dependance
Healthcare
People deserve healthcare
Which does not make them broke
But I must swear
It is just a big joke
Redo the healthcare borders
Allowing it throughout the nation
Not prescribed to regional areas or orders
Or to a persons credit station
Putting people in debt
So they can be healed
Is a poor bet
Leading to the paupers field
Every problem can be fixed
If people want them fixed
Do politicians want them fixed
Or do they want bank accounts fixed
Lobbyist protecting their turf
Paying out gigantic sums
While we all burst
Fighting over the crumbs
Everyday people are left with poor choices
And listening to politicians is a waste
Because they do not listen to our voices
Leaving me with a bad taste

Oligarchy
Oligarchy A Republic A Democracy An Oligarchy An Aristocracy What are we Who runs us Are we free What is the fuss I can tell you A government ran by a few We should be bitter and blue But who understood and knew We live our lives Enjoying it all And our kids and wives As long as we play ball Everything is fine Until you ask real questions And lights will shine On the underlying tensions Small groups control Our economy and government Remember the grassy knoll And all the other uppercuts These groups are self seeking And they are underhanded Lying when they are speaking Stealing all they have demanded This is the rule of the elite The rule of the nobility The rule of cronyism And the rule of nepotism A leadership class rules Stealing everything Thinking we are fools Accepting their sting Sting of war Sting of economic disaster Sting of epidemic Sting of climate crisis The same people rule our country And is it better or worse Neither are we hungry Nor are resources scarce But for many they are both There are riots in the streets Crime and murder that we loath Brough to you by the cheats Mark my words It is too late They will reduce us by thirds And that is our fate
Alive
Alive
You are alive
Animated
A beehive
Exhilarated
Look at your face
You smile shines
Not a trace
Of worldly confines
Exciting
Titillating
Breathtaking
Electrifying
You captivate a room
So bubbly and fresh
A flower in bloom
Beaming outside your flesh
Everyone notices
They are drawn to your energy
Simply dazzling and amazes
Special mysterious alchemy
Your charm
Your power
Your presence
Your attractiveness
Everyone wants you
To steal your vigor
Because they are blue
Playing a fool and poor actor
You are spontaneous
So alive in your spirit
Your harmonious
With this grand merit
I want it too
Since I was fifteen
Constantly trying to renew
Feelings for a girl at fourteen
I have my chance
To suck her marrow
Maybe by happenstance
But I have climbed the plateau
And I am not coming down
To be a mere mortal
I am on here playground
And I too will be adorable
Who Is She
Who Is She
Happy
Gay
Enthusiastic
Optimistic
She is a lightening beam
Her own liturgy
I can only dream
So full.of energy
Why is she alone
No one has claimed her
She is not owned
By a mister or sir
Probably her choice
She is strong
With her own voice
She knows right from wrong
She wants a companion
Just like me
Who will not abandon
An attentive attendee
To life
To grief
To celebration
To sorrow
She wants comfort
So do I
She want to be unhurt
And not cry
She wants gaiety
She wants merriment
She wants playfulness
She wants levity
We all want this
We do much research
Along with a kiss
And we search and search
Giving up hope
This person will never be found
And I am no dope
To catch someone on the rebound
Please God give me a chance
To find love and contentment
Along with romance
And adornment”
Shift
Shift
Left to right
Forward and back
Dark to bright
Run to tack
There are many ways to go
And I must change
Do not go with the flow
I must turn the page
Leave Jackson
Do not be shocked
Viking or saxon
Not land locked
A new journey
Sailing away
Leaving absurdity
A new sunset everyday
My intent
My want
My plan
My desire
At sixty not too late
To transition
A new journey and fate
A grand ambition
But wait
Who is this girl
That I went on a date
Her hair has so much curl
I am smitten
By her beauty and enthusiasm
Maybe sailing is not written
She has to be an addendum
My plan b has crumpled
Moving to plan c
My arrogance humbled
I now can see
I want her in my life
And she makes me laugh
With no crazy strife
I want to be her better half
In this moment
In this time
In this minute
In this space
I will pursue her
Wanting to know if she is real
Not some imaginary blur
And my feelings are real
Sailing will be there
But I can not let this pass
I am chasing that wild hair
And this charming lass
There is so much opportunity
There is so much promise
There is so much compassion
There is so much expectation
Go all in
Do not miss the chance
I can only laugh and grin
A sailboat can not kiss or dance
