New poem: "A Sober Canadian"

 

A Sober Canadian

 

It had to happen one day,

the child had to become a man;

and along came a sober Canadian

to show us the way. No more big

brother to lean upon (he turned

out to be a bully), and no more

reason to prevaricate; the time

had come to say NO, and Carney

took the ball away from the bully

and began to play the deadly

game of Realpolitik.

New poem: His "Napoleon Complex"

 

His “Napolean Complex”

 

Everything he did was BIGGER,

BETTER, and “there has never been

anything like it.” But his “Napolean

complex” finally got the better of

the American President when he met

the better man in the newly elected

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney

who adjusted his glasses and did not

flinch at Trump’s bullying and new

tariff threats that no longer mattered

to the sovereignty of our proud nation;

and the irony of the President’s game

was that he only motivated Canada

to become more self-sustaining

and independent.

New poem: "The Kingdom"

 

The Kingdom

 

Can it be that simple?

Can life be reduced to good

vs. evil? What about all

the in-betweens? Are

they good, or are they evil?

And isn’t life mostly

in-betweens? Who knows

what happens when Yin

becomes Yang, and when

Yang becomes Yin; isn’t

that the real mystery?

When the two become one,

said Jesus; that’s the way

into the Kingdom.

New poem: "Out of the Best and Worst"

 

Out of the Best and Worst

 

The Donald is the best and worst

of the American people; and those

who see their best in him endorse

him in his efforts to make America

great again, while those who see

their worst in him impede his every

effort. But the 47th President of the

United States continues to serve his

second term at the Oval Office

to fulfill his sacred promise in the

enantiodromiac play of conceiving

a new soul out of the best and worst

of the American people.

New poem: "Unsavory Position"

 

 

Unsavory Position

 

The world is too caught up

in the immediacy of daily events

to care to know its true purpose

in life, and rather than taking time

to reflect on its own unpalatable

situation, the world looks for new

causes to fight for and defend; not

because it believes in what it is

fighting for, but to keep from facing

its own situation; hence, all the

protests in America’s sanctuary

cities fighting for the unsavory

position of harboring illegal

criminal immigrants.
