Another Shooting

There is something really wrong here in America
All these people getting shot
How many times have I seen the flag at half mast?
Why?
The last one was five cops killed in Dallas
Why does this happen so much here compared to other countries?
I believe there are a lot of factors that make this happen
President Johnson allowing black women to get paid to kick men out
We had a higher marriage rate among blacks during slavery than now
Abortion being legalized in 1974
If we can't protect the most innocent, then why bother with the rest?
No paid maternity leave for women to bond with their babies
If everyone knows the first six months are crucial for good kids
Then what happens to that child if they don't get that attention?
Death penalty, shouldn't be any
If we are more interested in revenge that living in a safe place
Then we will continue to see criminals copy the state
Free health care
If we care for one another, then people will shoot each other less
I won't add gun control
If every dad would take their children hunting
Then they would know first hand what bullets can do to flesh
And never point that weapon at another human being

About this poem:
I could go on for a long time on this topic. We had a shooting at a plant in Columbus, Indiana on March 10. An employee shot his boss and then himself. We even had the top safety guy come out and tell us how to protect ourselves if there is an active shooter. Run, hide, and as last resort defend yourself.

Rabbit foot as Medicine!

Cryptic,cryptic is the word,
yes,if you want to be heard.
So telling openly and straight,
there are attacks on your fate.

To make everything as fun,
all serious are questioned and done.
Grasshoppers are singing the summer song,
as ants prepare for the winter long.

If you want to hear for more,
then you have to turn for lore.
We have to find the medicine best,
that's the only way to make the test.

Rabbits,Rabbits in the garden,
use your gun,they are the target.
No matter they are evil spirits in the real,
just slaughter them to get the protecting seal.

Rabbit foot is all you need,
the rest you trow for worms to feed.
Master Medicine is then in hands of you,
no evil can harm you,that's then the true.

No matter you see Rats around or in the mirror,
Rabbits foot as Medicine,take them all to zero.
The same if smelling poo around,
pay heed of Medicine and all is sound.

This is the wisdom of the past,
so for sure the Medicine can last.
Just take the instruction seriously here,
and never anymore feel fear.

Jill Stein

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

About this poem:
This election has been a lot of fun, but also frustrating. Who to pick? All I know is I've never regretted voting third party. I voted for Ross Perot in 96, Ralph Nader in 2000, and Gary Johnson in 2012.

Entertain Me!

Violence in sports
You damn right!
Give me some football!
Give me a batter charging the mound in baseball!
I wanna hear Trump make another stupid speech
War and death
War and death
Go together like crack and meth
Cause I tell you brother
You can't have one without the other
Here comes the tornado
There goes the hurricane
Only one thing I like better than a cruise
And that my friends is the 6 o clock news!

About this poem:
It seems we have a lot of stuff out there that makes a lot of money for the corporate elite. They say Trump got billions in free advertising, but how much did he make those networks like CNN? It has gotten to the point that it's all about entertainment, and the issues just don't pay the bills any more.

Libertarian Objections

I was watching the Libertarian debates last weekend
I objected to a few things that were said
One was the minimum wage
They said that it should be zero
That you get paid what your skills are
If you aren't being paid what you are worth
Then all you need to do is walk across the street
But I see countless skilled workers being ripped off every day
They cross the street and it's the same story all over again
The minimum wage should be raised to 15 bucks an hour
The next thing was immigration
The libertarian candidates said let them all in
No borders
We need all the skilled labor we can get
I disagree
We don't need a wall
We just need the citzens of our country to be employed first
If there are still jobs left over
Then fine, let them in to fill those jobs
But the jobs should be available to Americans first
Not whoever gets there first, or who is the cheapest
I still like a lot of their ideas
I did vote for Gary Johnson back in 2012
I probably will vote for him again
Unless Bernie Sanders majically get the Democratic nomination

About this poem:
I spent last Sunday watching the libertarian debates for about seven hours. The debates were actually on Saturday, but I taped them. The candidate selection and vice president were chosen Sunday. Gary Johnson and his vice president Bill Weld won.

Campaign Speech

When I am elected president there will be no more homelessness
There will be no wage under 15 dollars an hour anywhere in the world
There will be no illegals taking jobs from Americans
Health care will be free and available to all people
We will go to Mars
We will give our children hope
So they don't have to take dope
Our educational system will be the best in the world
There will be no more illegal groping at airports
We will not bomb any more countries for profit
All drugs will be made legal
Our prison system will then be drastically reduced
Our national debt will be paid down
So the 400 billion in interest paid yearly can be used for new roads
Electric cars will be made cheap enough for everyone to own one
We will protect our environment and have clean water
In Flint and everywhere else
We will reward work by cutting taxes and no taxes on overtime
We will foster and sense of community and love
For all people everywhere
So that we can truly say not god bless the usa
But god bless everyone on this great planet we call earth!

About this poem:
I have been following Trump, Bernie, and Hillary. The latest Trump ad has Hillary barking like a dog. She actually did this at a campaign rally. It would be fun to be president, if you could actually bring about the positive changes I wish for everyone.

Lines

Can you find
the lines
that you seek
the ones
that can guide you
though the lands
of deceit
the ones
that are hard
to hold
when you are
all alone
hanging by a thread
where common sense
is your only friend
when you try
to follow
your lines of intent

Bye Bye Bernie

Bye bye Bernie
Bye bye happiness
Hello lonliness
I feel I'm gonna cry
With all our hope goodbye
There goes my health care
There goes my free college tuition
There goes my 15 dollars an hour
There goes my voice
It will be replaced by a laughing witch and a rapist
Bye bye Bernie
Bye bye happiness
Hello lonliness
I think I'm gonna cry
With all my hope goodbye
And here's the reason I'm not free
Those bought off politicians stole it all from me

About this poem:
A parody of the Everly Brothers Bye Bye Love. Hillary seems to have it in the bag and Trump seems to be there to help her.

All In The Family

Boy the way Lady Gaga played
Songs that made the hit parade
Guys like us we had it made
These are the days
And you knew where you were then
Girl were girls and so were men
Mister we could use a man like Barack Obama again
Really love this welfare state
Never have to pull my weight
Gee our old Cavalier ran great
These are the days!

About this poem:
I was watching Bernie Sanders go on and on how he was expanding Social Security and free health care for all. This is great, if you are one not working for it.
