SOJOURN

Soon or late, this sojourn will end;
Octogenarians must forfend.
Just in case I too must depart
Or am to make another start-
Understand, please, my foolish heart:-
Return my ashes to that hill*
Near Nanang's* place where Time stood still.

(*that small hill east of and facing
our Grandma's house.)

IMPROBABLE

It seems improbable that there are extraterrestrial beings here...
MUFON, however, as well as other scientists think otherwise.
Perhaps a squadron of UFOs or USOs need to appear
Right above the White House roof, there to send their challenging chastise.
Obama as world leader was given the task to cull barbarians;
By failing to complete his job, his successor must assume the burden.
Assistance by Guardians will necessarily affect some civilians,
Because induced disasters and accidents could occur now and then.
Let your hubris go, human; You are not the apex of creation!
End your petty wars so you may join the Galactic Federation!

INCREDIBLE

In the Holy Quran, we note God's command:-"THOU SHALT NOT KILL."
Now, jihadists, who told you to kill innocent people still?
Continued slaying/pillaging won't provide a caliphate.
Reject barbarisms or be doomed to an accursed fate!
Educated Muslims, enlightened mullahs, time to speak out;
Do your duty as learned leaders:- Time to lecture and shout:-
In today's 21st century world, we must live in PEACE,
Because nuclear war could spell the end of the human species.
Let not madmen in pursuit of global power kill us all...
Extinction lies in their hands; No need for asteroids to fall!

INANITIES

I had, I think, an out-of-body experience...
Nobody in the crowd felt my etheric presence:-
An 'election email' scandal was unravelling;
Not only millennials, even their elders were yelling:-
Injustice against Bernie Sanders was committed!!
The DNC chairwoman's emails - not disputed,
In legal Latin parlance "Res ipse loquitor"-
Exposes biased judgment by the executor!
Schultz, despite long service, had to be shown the back door.

IN DENIAL

ISIS does not pose a grave threat to Uncle Sam;
No need to refuse sanctuary to refugees;
Definitely helpless and harmless (as I am...)
Employment increased; Hence, joblessness should decrease.
Never has the world been less violent than now!
I must keep my promise to close Guantanamo!
A few domestic violence won't break my vow!
Let me level the playing field before I go...!

(...and if I can't, I may declare Martial Law!)

WOEFUL

When in disgrace for being such a 'feckless king',
Obama all alone in bed may be thinking...
"Elites and lobbyists in D.C. ruined me!"
"Fie upon it, ah fie! Is this my legacy?"
"Uncle Sam now is on the verge of bankruptcy..."
"Let Trump steer this Ship so the blame won't fall on me.!"

("Alas, Hillary, falsity has put victory in jeopardy...")

GEORGE H. BUSH

Get G.H. Bush/s' advice:- *
ETs are more techno wise;
On land and sea they are here
Resurveying this old Sphere.
G.H. Bush, I suspect, knows
ETs have come back because
Here has also been their home,
Back from time trips they have come!
Urgent now that they come out,
Since they are our kith no doubt;
Humans, we will have their clout!


(...and even if we won't, we
would be forced to UNITE.)

TACIT CONSENT

The horrific scenes of terrorized people spread fast
All over the United States from across the sea,
Collected by media videos and smart phones, they're cast
Into our various receiving sets for all to see.
There is a noticeably unusual frequency-
Coinciding senseless killings with a crowded event;
On Bastille Day in Nice, for instance...And even here:-
Now some voters are wary attending Trump's Big Tent,
Since he is oft disrupted by fomenters of fear.
Elections, conventions are hazardous; Don't forget!
No GOP crowd would want to be a 'soft' target.
To be without arms is to give foes TACIT CONSENT!

COMEY'S REPORT

Comey's report re Madame Hillary-
Outre and out-of-sync! Many agree
Most factual findings do INCRIMINATE,
Ergo:- No good reason to exculpate!;
Yet he says there was 'EXTREME CARELESSNESS..."
So Lynch now decides 'NO PROSECUTION!'
Ruthless partisans cause much confusion;
Each careless act must be Court-filed, no less!
Past investigations to the A.G.
Ordinarily are weighed by Jury;
Reluctance to do so seems comical...
Tragic, no longer apolitical!!!

SYZYGY

Sometimes even non-celestial bodies do a syzygy:-
Your candidate plus The Donald plus hilarious Hillary
Zeroing in a straight run for the US Presidency...
You're shocked! Comey's exculpatory report seems much too strained.
Good grief, looks like Lilith's sharp claws can no longer be restrained,
Yesterday's race is now a zigzagged contest unconstrained!

POST MORTEM

'Post hoc ergo propter hoc.'
Obama as a lame duck
Soon will show his legacy;
Thus, his real worth all shall see.
Many unresolved questions-
Obama's wrong directions...
Results--not good; No wonder
This leader does not murder
Enemies... Here's his answer:-
"May they live long and suffer!"

ATROCITY

Americans killing other Americans...
That's exactly what those Islam jihadists want-
Reinforcing their global 'terrorism' plans;
Our war strategy against them seems rather scant,
Considering that televised acts of hatred
Infected the mind of one vet making him rabid.
This madman was heard to cry out:- "The end is near!"
Yes, indeed! Disharmony brings Chaos, I fear.

JOCULAR

John D. Gartner's recent piece entitled "Which way do I vote?'*
Opines whoever has strength to win in 2016 needs wisdom to govern.
Compare the two nominees' respective attributes--Please Note:-
Unabashed Hillary tries to mimic an accent...Southern???
Look now at Donald J.'s unfettered energetic display--
A straight-shooter transparent and cloudless as a summer's day;
Regard Madam's murky Obama agenda... Let us pray!!

*Which Way do I Vote?--page 96, July/August 2016 Reader's Digest ed.

HOBBLED

Half-measures cannot quell radical Islamists;
One arm tied to one's back won't beat the terrorists.
Besides the battleground is in their brainwashed minds...
But Muslims should know Mahomet himself reminds:-
"Let no man harm another, so both be not harmed."
Enlightened Sufis, Imams--are you not alarmed?
Do not delay:--Have all your followers disarmed!
