PLAINS

PLAINS hosted... the buffalo.  
Because of... Indians survived. 
All kept... in balance. 
Foreigners came... took over.

Trees strong... and proud. 
Brought down... without thought. 
Moving East... to West. 
Leaving land... most desolate. 

The caring... were outnumbered. 
Building bigger... and better. 
Never satisfied... wanted more. 
Oil, gold... and diamonds. 

Kept digging... and digging. 
Climate mankind... can’t control.
Carelessly ignores... the signs. 
Suffer fate... of dinosaur?

It’s not... too late. 
Take heed... act now. 
Someone please... open gate. 
Before our... freedom lost. 

COVERUP


( C ) antankerous 
( O ) bservations
( V ) irtually 
( E ) scape
( R ) ecognition
( U ) ntil
( P ) opped

COVERUP becomes the norm of liar,
And the accomplices. 
Their pants don’t catch on fire,
Or nose grow. 

But soon a smell quite sour, 
Begins to emanate. 
Those close to source in power, 
Used to gotten. 

Placing on someone else the blame,
Cleaning up mess. 
And purposely call a nasty name,
Oder quickly forget.

Except those with finely tuned focus,
And good sense. 
Are not fooled by Hocus pocus,
And trap door. 

There’s no magic formula to success,
When using deceitfulness. 
Unless bipartisanship doesn’t exist I guess,
Surely way headed. 

Pull your head out of sand,
If you can. 
Please work together with a plan,
So democracy survives. 

It’s not about you or “them”,
But the “people”. 
The ones you’re “supposed” to “represent”,
Why you’re “elected”. 

All the people not just some,
Or “number 1”. 
Not the lobbyist or big corporations,
Or your pocket. 

It has been a long time,
Since anything accomplished. 
Just saying no has become fine,
Waiting “your” dime. 

One party dictating to the other,
All about winning. 
At expense of child father mother,
Individuals in U.S.

“Party” “House” “Senate” “Supreme Court” complicate,
And now “President”. 
It appears leadership has become advocate,
For a Dictatorship. 

If don’t get their act together,
Democracy is lost. 
Just one small breath on feather,
No longer strong. 

Not one country “united for all”,
This pledge dead. 
Instead the U.S.A. about to fall,
Like many before.

LIES


( L ) ifetime 
(  I ) nvestment 
( E ) levating 
( S ) elf

LIES become way of life,
When not going your way. 
Creating reality based on deceit,
Believing every word you say. 

Backed by those who’ve learned,
Burnt if don’t go along. 
Whose loyalty requires convincing others,
They too want to belong. 

Questions not allowed simply put,
Genius is at work quite evident. 
Power given becomes the hook,
Take over everything 100 percent. 

All about him none else, 
Enemy becomes friend patriotism rewritten.
Time speak up take action,
Before our democracy is smitten.

( N ) ature’s 
( S ) ide 

LESSONS come in many forms. 
Can be voluntary or involuntary. 
Do we look for them?
Or simply leave them alone?

When nature comes a screaming...
Is it warning or reflection?
Perhaps form of both be?
Let’s pay attention and listen.

ONE ELEVEN says... it’s time. 
Time to purify... thoughts and actions. 
The dawn approaches... a reckoning coming. 

ACHE

( H ) indsight 
( E ) rased

ACHE at night, cannot sleep. 
Muscles are tight, won’t release. 

Covered in sweat,  body is. 
So tired, yet, must write. 

The 70’s repeat, over again?
Not a defeat, or win. 

Learn from fact, and past.
Don’t move back, but forward.
