Dear Friends, As politicians prattle on,With nothing but a yawn,Are you a freak,That’s wrongspeak,And now your rights are gone. The elite all wear a frown,Running her out of town,Lies need a buttress,Nothing says justice,As when the powerful do punch down. … Continue reading →

Dear Friends, The mechanical loom would starve us all,Middle manager obsolescence by IT’s gall,Time goes on,Tech’s no con,Because it creates more work than it does maul. When someone is pro Nazi and pro Jew,Won’t be but a tiny group of … Continue reading →

Dear Friends, The payola press is a joke,Still dazed by the last toke,Lie at a fast rate,Then self immolate,So sit back and watch with a smoke. The blind can’t see the signs,Thinking they have open minds,Broke another seal,So how do … Continue reading →
