ZIGZAG

Zigzag down from Baguio thru Naguilian Road to the beach resorts
In La Union where people have snacks and other tourist comforts...
Grandma's house and lands in this province was where I spent my childhood.
Zooming back in my mind to that past time, I had a change of mood...*
I was shocked to learn not even a post was allowed to remain!
Gross weeds & bushes have invaded, lizards & leeches now reign.

     * (Invading 'migrants' to the USA will also rue the day they
           left their Motherland.)

ZEPHYR

Zephyr visits mostly at evening,
Enters when shadows are deepening;
Presence is sensed, is most comforting!
Her kisses--most invigorating!
You're right, that gentle breeze is God's present--
Reward from Our Lord, The Munificent!

YOUTHS

Youth can learn to be our Lord God's instrument,
Or be a loser as Lucifer's  slave.
Upbringing, if done early, can help cement
The free will gift that our Creator gave...
Hence, parents/teachers should share the Soter's task,
Since children ought go close to Him...(He did ask...)

XANADU

XANADU, the Earthly Paradise of Kublai Khan!
Ask archeologists or mapmakers if they can
Narrow down its possible location at this time...
Ah, but Coleridge would not dirty his hands with grime;
Dreamers fantasize and write about places long gone...
Unveil what could happen to us too:-  NUKED & UNDONE!

WISH LIST

We most fervently pray, O Lord, that You grant us
Increased (quantum leaped) mental capabilities,
Scientific & space engineering breakthroughs,
Healthier, sturdy homes with new facilities ,
Loving, caring kin members & their families,
Impregnable SHIELD- (You as our Avenging Sword...!)
THANK YOU GOD FOR YOUR BOUNTY & YOUR SAVING WORD!*

          *('Let there be LIGHT!')

VENALITY

VENALITY- the virus that poisons many people's souls,
Erodes integrity, haunts government offices and halls;
Notoriously effective in countries where dictators rule.
An exemplar- Maduro governed what he learned from his school.
Laissez-faire just withered away when the welfare state held sway!
It may occur here too if Sanders' supporters win someday!
The task for parents and Education Secretary Voss:-
You must teach SELF-RELIANCE* to our Youth; Welfare life is dross!

    *("In the words of JFK, ask not what the government can do for you.
         Ask rather what you can do for your country!")

UBIQUITOUS

Unless that southern Border Wall is completed
Before this year ends, we'll find ourselves bankrupted!
Invasion of these countless paperless 'migrants'
Quickly overwhelms...like an army of hungry ants--
Unstoppable, although many surrender
Invoking 'asylum'-- which do make us wonder.
This gaping LOOPHOLE is clearly ridiculous!
Our lawmakers, thru inaction, made Latinos
Ubiquitous!  Schumer, Pelosi, McConnell
Should UNITE & get us out of this dark tunnel!

UNHINGED

Unhinged sore losers seeking to block our President Trump
Now contest in Court his 'Emergency' declaration.
How this issue will be finally resolved should not stump
Intelligent minds who have read the U.S. Constitution.
No need to remind:--President Trump as Commander-in-Chief,
Given the justification, can also seek relief:--
Elevate these suits in a bundle to the Supreme Court;
Decision favoring him will provide strong Wall support!

TRENCHANT

Trenchant words from our President Trump, The Triumpant,
Ripped to shreds the Marxist/Socialist's "all-free"cant...
Every nation has learned or should be now learning
No government should pledge to provide everything!
Capitalism, on the other hand, hones our skills,
Has produced several millionaires with luxe frills,
And on this Planet has made us a Mighty Nation!
Never forget Donald Trump's passionate Oration:-
Trash Socialism* was his fervent exclamation!

     *(His actual words were, if I remember correctly,--
           "We will NEVER become a Socialist State!")
       

SKEPTICAL

Skeptics, even if mistaken, can sometimes be right;
Knuckleheads can be stubborn until they see the light.
Every phrase must be fully defined in a debate;
Politicians should take care and learn to expatiate:-
The scope- (metes and bounds) of 'national emergency'
Is not intended to mean "from sea to shining sea..."
Commander-in-Chief/President Trump has the power
And sworn duty as our Nation's Safety Insurer
Late or soon*(?) to abate that Crisis at our border.

             *(Martial Law by Executive Order,)

RIGGED

Rigged investigation of Trump's 'Russian collusion'
Is crumbling into pathetic pieces of fiction!
Good God!  Bleary-eyed Mueller must be having nightmares--
Getting loathed for giving Stone's household Nazi-like scares,
Exposing himself also as a Deep State acolyte!
Dare he wait for Barr or end the witch hunt & take flight???

QUID PRO QUO (For Hillary)

Queen of many profitable schemes
Unwilling to give up your grand dreams...
I know you are not in a hurry...
Didn't think you would retire so early?
Proffer then to assist and astound;
'Russian' funds can give you a rebound!
Our South Border Wall needs completion!
Quietly provide your 'modest' donation...
Use past position--justification!
Our premonition:- You v. Donald Trump--a repetition!

REVERENCE

POPPYCOCK

  'Poppycock' seems like a milder way of saying 'trash'.
   Older gentlemen may grimly utter "Balderdash!"
   People of the middle class may prefer "Pure Rubbish!"
   Perhaps migrants at our border are making this wish:-
"You, Uncle Sam, should provide toilet facilities,"
"Comfort rooms along our trek to your border cities."
"Of course, we don't want to leave garbage on your pavement;"
"Cast no stones 'gainst those who can't control their excrement."
"Know, Sir, Necessity fears only bowel movement...."

PUBLICITY

Public officials are supposed to be our servants.
Unfortunately, many of them are not serious;
Blinded by lucre & power, some become tyrants.
Luxe life styles, perks, & earmarks could make them act devious.
Intense conflicts among themselves verge on derangement;
Completing the stalemate are acolytes of the secret 'Shadow Government'...
Incite more of those who keep urging for Trump's impeachment!!!
Trump's Triumph  was by 60 million Voters/300 Electors secured.
Yoni,*thanks for revitalizing Trump's base; His Re-Election is now assured!!!

      *(Yoni Applebaum's "Impeachment" essay publishedd in the current
         issue of the Atlantic magazine.)

ODIOUS

Our word today rhymes with noxious;
Definitely synonymous.
In Spain,*it's an exclamation!
Observe 'u' is in deletion...
Undoubtedly, it is obvious--
Severed from God if you're ODIOUS!

      *(Por Dios!)
    

OBSTINACY

Obstinacy & Lunacy--
Both rhyme with Pelosi/Nancy...
Sometimes these coincidences
Tear down the veil of pretences...
In regard to the Border Wall,
Nancy wants to herd in VOTERS,
All of us, though, know her true goal:-
Collect DNC supporters!
Yet Trump will have Counter Orders!!

NASTY NANCY

Niggardly & sarcastically, one dollar was proffered
As her donation for completion of the South Border Wall.
Seeing her display her gavel when her title was conferred,
This steel-backed House Speaker seems bent in giving Trump a steel stall!
Yet to date unvetted foreigners still invade our nation,
Not just here in California but even way East in Maine!
A conservative estimate of illegal migrants' population
Number over 25 million...but she doesn't complain! 
Caravans more approach with their toxic load of pollution!
You forgot Columbus' pox?? If you don't care, are you INSANE!!??
