SELECTIVE PROSECUTION
|
We have so many laws in this country that we can’t walk to the store with out breaking some kind of a law. Besides we can’t prosecute people now because our courts are so packed and even if they were convicted there’s no place to put them because our...

STORMY WEATHER
|
Call me insensitive and non-caring. OK, maybe I am insensitive and I'll even take some arrows for being uncaring but I've had enough of the TV going ballistic every time bad weather happens. I don't care if some trees are falling or power lines are down (if...

A LITTLE COMMON SENSE FROM KARL
|
It seems to me there is only one reason for a political group to press relentlessly against any attempt to verify that those allowed to vote are citizens who are who they say they are and are indeed entitled to do so: To facilitate a fraud upon the body politic by...

HOW THE MEDIA PICKS A PRESIDENT
|
I'm not one who kicks anyone, especially when they're down, but as long as it's the mainstream media (MSM) let me put on my steel-toed boots. I'm also not one who would be too disturbed if someone other than the ignorant electorate picked our leaders but when that...

CONSPIRACY THEORY
|
I'm going to try to remove some of this accountability that's being piled on "all" U.S. citizens for our country's trespasses as some sort of group thing. This phenomenon is increasing in frequency and presently being attached to more issues because it has now become...

LIBERALS

When anyone contemplates the liberals, if they are knowledgeable about politics and the way the majority of Americans think, their thoughts will eventually move to the question of how does this small group of elite ideological clones control so much of America. Although...

CYPRESS STREET AND "B"
Cornered on Cypress Street and "B"
Stands this old and stately tree.
For my whole life that tree's been there
Absorbing the rain and cleaning air.
Constant traffic has passed him by...

THE PROBLEM WITH OUR SCHOOLS

Is there anyone in the real world (meaning people who are outside the imaginary universe that the media and politicians have created) who believe that more money will improve education? Giving our children a good education will never be accomplished as long as bad...

THREE SHORTIES

THE TALES OF ROBIN HOOD
There are some people who insist
That Robin Hood did not exist.
They say the legend is just lies
But still the folklore never dies.
I always hoped it was the truth
When I read of him in my youth.
Myths soon perish as they should...

THREE SHORT POEMS

|
THE COLD
|
It slowly seeps in through the doors
And is absorbed by hardwood floors.
Then it travels to all my rooms,
Transforming them to icy tombs.
Soon my whole place has gotten cold-
The kitchen, my bed, the darn commode,
But there's one thing it can't attack
And that's the...

FREEDOM OF SPEECH
|
Does anyone know what "Flag Burning" has to do with "Freedom of Speech"? I have read the Bill of Rights and I seemed to have missed it. I remember George Bush the 1st being very distraught with Republicans for not jumping on board the "save the flag" band wagon. ...

THE SEARCH FOR HAPPINESS

I believe everyone is searching for happiness but a problem arises in just how one finds it. I remember reading a story about a very rich young girl (I'll call her Susan) who was constantly depressed and her parents had tried eveything - therapy, drugs, hypnosis -...

MY PLACE
|
The place where I live to many may offend.
The porch is rotten and the roof's caving in.
When I walk inside my floor starts to squeak,
And when it's raining the roof likes to leak.
The bugs have become a real pain in the neck.
I have given up trying to keep them in check,...

THE RAIN OF TERRA

Silver clouds surrounded the area releasing tiny water bombs.
The scorching sun surrendered as drops detonated on trembling trees and
were swiftly swallowed by the thirsty earth.
Distant thunder rumbled reminding the fragile life below...

FISHING
|
THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY
I was fishing in a hidden lake.
My first lure was a big mistake.
My favorite worm I was trying to find;
I finally found it and tied my line.
I threw that bait as far as I could.
My worm flew far but not too good.
My worm hung...

THE CRUISE OF ' 71
|
It was early ' 68 when I went in
Because of the draft we had back then.
I joined the Navy for four years
And left my Mother shedding tears.
They took our clothes and gave us rags
And for luggage we got sea bags.
They sent us to schools or to boats
And told us all the old sea...

Lost his last buck
And had to come home via Avis

CHISELED STONE
|
Our poems become statues from chiseled stone,
Chipped until beauty has been blended with tone.
While essays might be considered huge blocks,
Now cut and polished but once were just rocks.
Thoughts and ideas will emerge with no sound,
Large boulders rising from...
