Take solace there is hope of better times.
From the cycles of change of the past.
The soul has survived lifetimes.
The mind questions unasked.

The Schemer
There is a man who we can surmise,
by his words and actions,
he plots our nation’s demise.
His ego is such he cares not one whit,
if we rise to the top,
or stay mired in our own____.

As the end wept upon the land,
we could hear the approaching fall.
Justice answered the trumpet’s call,
trusting the fight to her troop’s hand.
Fate trembles with haste to expand,
through misdeeds by her shameless foe.
Past foolish decisions now crow,
“Wait—no—this was not meant to be.”
They beg the nation, “Hear our plea.
Heal honor, shout, no…no… NO!”

A Stalker Gawk Cur
A Taco Bell date got you cussed.
That former flame turned out her light
when your wallet became too tight.
Your love life has turned into dust,
and now Friday nights are a bust.
Your face is a lunatic smile
while stalking her twitter profile.
Dude, that brain of lust should be trussed.
Not good at all, but I needed to write. So, I did.

Life is a spec of illusion
in this moment of history,
in this hour for empathy,
we are ripe with no delusion.
To gain victory’s conclusion
into the storm’s eye, we must go,
against the rage-fueled inferno.
With spirit of a promised land,
and power of the strong right hand,
freedom fires in our hearts shall grow.
