UNBELIEF

Useless to rely on promises of marionettes.
Never give your full trust to political puppets--
Bought, branded, and controlled by truth manipulators;
Experts in false excuses blamed the 'demonstrators'.
Long inquiry delays and unfulfilled promises
Inspire suspicion, doubt, and malicious surmises.
End all hope for great deeds from leaders prone to lying,
Full of reassurances, accomplishing nothing...

HUMAN BEING

Here below are some of my unuttered discourses--
(Underneath my skin, there are two opposing forces):-
"Money, money, money! We need plenty of money!"
"Absolutely false; We can survive without any."
"No, no, no! Not in our material world at this time!
"Bushels, nay, truckloads of cash we need, and that's no crime."
"Empty your wallet and the government will provide,
If a beggar man's status you can be qualified."
"No, not for me. That hapless state is not my desire..."
"God grants what we deserve...but wealth could lead to hellfire."

MEA CULPA

Mumble not lame excuses when at fault;
Enter politics and become a dolt
At times..; But never double the trouble.
Cover-up attempts could burst the bubble;
Useless to use scapegoats or underlings.
Later fair tale to foul mud they will fling,
Passing the muck right back up to your face...
A brave Mea Culpa is no disgrace.

UNTRUSTWORTHY

Ubiquitous agents seemed busy at their tasks.
No need to lie therefore when a taxpayer asks
The reason for their actions and/or inaction
Resulting in non-grant of his tax exemption.
Unfairly treated 'Tea Party' and 'Patriot' groups
Soon realized they were targeted by the snoops...
Today Big Brother again sports a big black eye!
When will he lend an ear to citizens' outcry?
Officials are supposed to be public servants;
Right now some of them act more like wicked tyrants,
Their character and integrity are in doubt...
High level pols, however, can't be driven out;
You may be given a willing scapegoat to flout.

QUANDARY

Quietus is for the cold-blooded terrorist
Unwise, in the opinion of the pacifist...
Alternative courses of action might be tried;
No plea is more apt than Christ's before He died.
Do ask God then to forgive those who seek to slay
And destroy all of us, for "they know not" what they
Regrettably do; Nevertheless, by all means,
You should never forget to call for the 'Marines'!

TRANSPARENCY

There is in our land a dark contagion spreading;
Remember those promises of transparency?
As usual, the reverse result we were dreading
Now prevails! Re- Benghazi, there's not much to see,
Since 'stylistic' fog has misled the public's eye.
Perpetuate false reporting and more may die...
Americans under attack or in harm's way
Rely on our forces for help without delay;
Excusing rescue squads from giving assistance,
Narrating a brazen lie as the real cause
Complete that oft-repeated 'transparency' stance...
Your more recent 'SUCCESSES', Sir, must give us pause.

SUBALTERNS

Some may be fooled, but not all of the time;
Underlings used as scapegoats for the crime
Blamed imaginary demonstrators.
Ah, but now we know the perpetrators!
Let the stink rise to the highest level;
The redacted 'styled' version is drivel.
Every rescue effort should have been made
Right from the attack's onset, not delayed
Nor denied; We are utterly dismayed
Since we're not even of consular grade...

FAILURE

Full of shibboleths and ominous signs,
All unacted upon, the bold 'red lines'...
If I were Uncle Sam, I would recruit
Learned scholars of Islam to bruit
Unbiased commandments from the Quran:-
Regard sacred the life of every man,
End bloodshed, reach World Peace...as friends, we can!

AT EIGHTY

Awakened by an urgent but silent signal
To get out of bed and go to the urinal
Exactly, according to my cellphone, at four...
It tells me that I have in earth-years reached four score.
God Almighty, Thank You for keeping me healthy,
Here am I out of the pit and back to safety,
Though there were times I drove my car beyond eighty...
You've made me wiser but I am still not wealthy!

INFIDELS

Infidels are those who have lost fidelity...
No faith in God, no longer heed His Commandments,
Followers of those who advocate cruelty,
Ingrates who slay non-combatants, e'en innocents...
Do harm to others, then ask God to reward you?
Expect no houri's welcome when your life is through;
Lucifer will with sulf'ric acid pour o'er you...
So be it, then:-May the flames of Hell devour you!

SO BE IT

Stupidity is unpardonable.
Our truth-seekers today are knowledgeable,
But lying leaders are unforgivable;
Excuses are flimsy...unacceptable.
It is in the mind where the battlefield lies;
There can be no Peace until Falsity dies!

SO BE IT

Stop killing one another!
Our Omnipotent Father
Bestowed each human being
Enlightened minds for seeing
Insightful right from error.
There's no reason for terror.

SO BE IT

Some radical Islamists
Out to kill more pacifists,
Bombed/blasted marathoners,
Even inn'cent bystanders...
If you think the Devil won,
Think again, God's Will Be Done!
