Hands thrust in pockets you walk and mutter
Thoughts alleyways of unwanted clutter
Watches rather looking at the nutter
Squinting two wild cats across the gutter

For all wrongs in life become the weeper
Cry o’er some scraps boilin’ in a steeper
For not mercy of the market keeper
Safe from clutches of the dark grim reaper

Sadness that’s lost in the slums and ghettos
Inspired in such classical libretto
Pours out like the smoothest amaretto
Sung an opera of such fine falsetto

Homeless and wandering drifting afloat
In a turbulent sea so sails your boat

Bernie's out
So what do we have left
Trump, Hillary, and Johnson
Oh my!
Trump reminds me of Hitler
I've even heard Hillary called Hitlary
Johnson is better, but won't protect our jobs
And his running mate Bill Weld
Reminds me of the mad scientist in Tarantula
Or the old man in Pet Semetary
Take your pick
Someone about him is creepy
Jill Stein is a breathe of fresh air
She seems to really be a good person
Truly good people are getting harder and harder to find in politics
Will I vote for Jill Stein?
I'm still undecided
But she's looking better all the time
Especially with all the mud slinging going on

Today, August 15 is our independence day
We are Indians very proud about it
We honor our three colored flag
We are happy to be in a magical country
With 28 states, 18 languages
6400 castes
6 ethnic groups
29 major festivals
But one country…India.
We respect others from out of India
For the best co operation with us in all means…
We love India….

Separated from our world we are, ‘tis true
Scavenging, raping, polluting without shame
Taking what our mind conceives is owed
dominion over all we seek all to tame

To find a safe haven within wasteland
going to Mars is a long way to roam
Are we to find out how another, too,
destroyed their once luscious home

The rolling-minstrel poet, said
with words so blue and true
warning of intragalactic garbage
…coming to a planet near you.

as the blood flows with fire against fire, Cry's of retribution fill the air ready or not pain will be shared, Cold steal put through the hearts of men. officers an Generals shall be put to bed .Carried on by a Dispirited hunger of total destruction well not be forgotten ,Legions of fear an the fight for freedom we hold so dear.

I'm ashamed
I'm ashamed of my weight
my teeth
my complexion
my income
my work place
my apartment building
Our treatment of other countries like Iraq and Afghanistan
Our bullies who never get the punishment they deserve
The way we treat gays and lesbians
The way we treat the elderly
The way we treat the students and college students in this country
The massive debt of college loans and national debt
The litterbugs
The people who yell
The people who don't visit their parents
People on cell phones in public
Potholes
Roundabouts on the street
Walmart and the treatment of their workers
President Obama and the rest since I have been born
The drug laws
Our prison system
Drones
Bottled water
Music after the 80's

Some feel they're indubitably a societal plague
reduced 'freedom of speech' to speaking vague
America owes us nonsense they shamelessly tout
guilt vice stifles rebutting claims whined about

Reactions depict uncivilized while resistant to reason
criminal mannerisms I'd argue akin to treason
Republics history they've had success at rearranging
constantly stirring the pot negates antipathy changing

Their negative impact the blind can see
when confronted with absolute truth they flee
Giving them everything wouldn't be nearly enough
CAN'T appease those convinced they're owed stuff

It's racism "TELLING IT LIKE IT IS"
most slavery advocates missed the FACTS quiz
If Americas' so unjust evacuate her land
feckless politicians forced guilt bow to demand

hell bent on assuring unrest continues everyday
what I witness I must unapologetically convey

It is not the colour
of the skin
that you live in
or even
where you are born
it is
the colour
of your thoughts
that define
your state of mind
within a world
where thoughts
are becoming
colour blind

Why do we long and crave human company,
When together they can cause trouble and strife,
But solitary loneliness challenges ones insanity,
Feelings and emotions struggle in this life,

I did not ask to be who I am,
This makeup of me is all that I have within,
At times tears can well and flow for quite a span,
Memories of good, bad and sad send my head in a spin,

One converses with words, emotions and sound,
When alone these feelings are in compartments all aligned,
But silence of walls and ones mind confound,
Without human company were are all in a bind,

Love is the biggest devastation to ones heart,
Hit by the bolts of blue, feelings and emotions collide,
Fired by the closeness and longing creates a new start,
Inevitably sometimes things falter and slide,

Trying to keep ones humanity in balance,
Crying or laughing out loud hysterically,
It`s like matching that quilt with the valance,
The noise is needed to prove that this is my reality,

So one claws from the depths of depressed life,
Fighting those closing walls of silent insanity,
This is why we put up with the trouble and strife,
Because we all need to belong to the family of Humanity.

Well
I bet you didn't expect to see me here
They froze my body and thaw me out every four years
So I can tell you how proud I am of all of you
You have expanded on my plans of crushing unions
I big shout out to Scott Walker
I never did real good in Wisconsin
Seeing Walker do what he has done makes me real proud
I would also like to thanks my predecessors
Bush and son Bush
You did a real good job in Iraq
For all I did for you
I ask for only one thing
Put my face on Mt Rushmore
One more thing before I got back in deep freeze
If you look under your seat
You will find a box of jelly beans
Black, my favorite color
Well
See you all again in 2016!
