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!!

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!
