And then, things go downhill from there.

When his facts and his findings got bent,

Barr misled the nation
With his Cliff’s Notes summation
What he said there was not what was meant.

Its timing is really the worst.
While surrounded by goons,
Half-wits and buffoons,
It is for the Wise Fool that I thirst.

That Black History Month is now here.
A rich legacy
That happens to be
In the shortest month of the year.

How sad our Prez chose not to go
Ring the New in at Mar a Lago.
May he sit on the John
Tweeting out until dawn
To reruns of Guy Lombardo.

Not just the ones we know by heart and name,
But Secret Saints as well, who just the same
Are present in our lives, however faintly.

How much of it came from his dad
Through fake corporations
And sly tax evasions.

As the wheel of life takes its toll,
In its path, you will rock, you will roll.

So decrees the late, great Queen of Soul.

You’d best be a ducker and sprinter
For it might be a bloody long winter.
You can get yourself killed
Since now folks can build
A gun from a 3-D printer.

Justice Kennedy’s son. Dontcha think
The loans he approved
Helped opinions get moved
With an influence peddling stink.

Despite the man’s past guilty plea,
Donald Trump lets D’Souza go free.
A conspiracy peddler,
And e-lection meddler,
Twists his facts with a demonic glee.

As it looks like I’ve marked one more year.
Moody mind, plagued by doubt,
Many parts wearing out.
But still I am glad to be here.

An April Fool Easter confection.
No word here about that election.
May this rare combination
Bring our wounded nation
Renewal, rebirth, resurrection.

The headlines can drive one insane.
Some events just bring my heart pain.
So for now I will say
That the good news today
Is to just look outside and see rain.

In this era of life run amok,
Comes an instance of horrible luck:
A Republican train
Caused one death and much pain
Ramming in to a white garbage truck.

Hold the people who care for you dear.
Reach for the best,
Cope with the rest,
And try to choose love over fear.

There are tragedies both far and near.
How we fix them is seldom too clear.
Sometimes, I’m unnerved
By how justice is served.
Like that sad, senseless death on a pier.

Would reach compromise
On how much of a man one could own.
