It’s easy to be discouraged
It’s easy to say hard work and stick-to-itiveness
Doesn’t amount to a bag of beans
It’s difficult to face disappointment day after day
Yet here I stand and forth I step

Deals for Despots
The USA is open for business
Where there is a special place in hell for democracy

The Orange Gorilla
The Orange Gorilla in the gilded cage
Doesn’t like to be poked and prodded
He stomps and screams and rants in a rage
That his accolades should be lauded
That demagoguery should be applauded

Trade Wars Are Good?
Lordie Lord, the President’s come unglued
And the American Economy is about to be Trump U-ed
Given an education in corruption and fraud
From the man who fancies himself a reality TV God

A Hicks’ Hope
When fact to fiction does demur
White lies are a grey area to be sure
In a White House full of grey dusty dicks
There was no hope left for Hicks

The Earthbound Bird
America is an eagle that wants to fly with one wing and in the end only flops around on the ground.
Faustian
A Faustian pact was signed and the soul of America was sold
Mephistopheles was so inclined to increase and tighten his hold
With iron clad contract and terms outlined, there was never a time to be more bold
The United States are being redefined and in ill constitution controlled

Spoken Word is Performance Art not Poetry
I am not well suited for the superficiality of spoken word
The posing and peacocking needed to perform on stage
Pseudo-poets spew verbal diarrhea, squat and take a terd
That is not representative of poetry on the page
