Dear Friends, Evil is abetted by despot and king,With euphemisms like Human Trafficking,Play with words,Glistening turds,Because calling them slavers is alienating. There is an AG named Ken Paxton,He’s clever smart and a man of action,Seeking the corrupt,Jailing them abrupt,If we … Continue reading

Dear Friends, Edward Bernays was crucial to The Man,Teaching girls to smoke doing what he can,Wear that bra,Don’t tell Ma,And follow the Pied Piper into his panel van. I know of a fake Indian from Mass,Full of lies and willing … Continue reading

Dear Friends, Kingly power in a saint brings out ferocity,It seldom makes a villain learn generosity,So forsooth,Here’s a truth,Unlimited power leads to unlimited atrocity. Villains will give you the dickens,As your pulse and pace quickens,We act out of fright,And some … Continue reading

Dear Friends, There was a senator from Mass,For her many lies she got a pass,Who cares about karma,She shilled big pharma,And made of herself an ass. Money printing will cut us down to size,Slow at first then fast when they … Continue reading

Dear Friends, Our philosopher kings are brilliant and wise,Their genius is apparent in their own eyes,How could we disagree,The unaccountable see,Utopia depends on their manipulations and lies. The stupidity of our elites is astonishing,Though too big to tolerate admonishing,A bomb … Continue reading

Dear friends, Look closely and you will see,Some things don’t get scrutiny,Incidents are ample,As in the example,Of the Jan 6th pipe bomber in DC. The elite have egos great,Too sage to leave it to fate,Plotting and conniving,Their foes criticizing,And plowing … Continue reading

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 While some shrivel others thrive,A few can barely even survive,Chasing mist,Then resist,That it all boils down to gumption and drive. There’s a fantasy life in each of our ids,Striving to come out when we were kids,But life’s a … 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, Some say it’s wealth that you should flaunt,Others say it’s looks that makes them gaunt,Here’s the gist,It comes down to this,Women just don’t know what they want. Business and politics are wed,That’s how politicians are fed,A revolving door,A … Continue reading →
