Election
As poor as I am
I can still see the lies
Dripping down from posters
Larger than life
Each party vying for my eye line
Sides of the same dice
Hope, Fear
Progress, Strength
Hate, Together
Each rolling towards me
Saying anything I like …
A tannoy blurts out
Some nonsensical nonsense
flags are waving in the air
and the dumb have becom...

Cry From Isolation — A Sonnet
By ACE8.6
I heard a baby cry today
while I was walking through the park.
The cry was not to get her way
It was strong, insistent, and dark
Was she too hot from the sun’s bright ray?
Was she afraid of the dog’s bark?
Was she demanding she be allowed to play
in the song of the Meadowlark?
This baby cried not for want
This baby cried to warn
And I became the confidant
Of this child wh...

The MAGA Hat is Dead
Hey you!
Yeah you with the MAGA hat
You’re like the filth of a rat
You’ve got the brain of a gnat
You pledge allegiance to a swine—
—that’s 45
You fall in line
I think you’ve been misled
by that inbred chucklehead
So let’s go overdrive
Swap that hat for a hive
I think you need some stings
I think you need to hurt
All the states that were swings are going to leave you in the ...

the punch that never was
Laura’s snaffled an exclusive
freshly minted by the Tories
a left-wing thug has punched a bloke!
she tweets, ignores the story
about the PM and the photograph
the crisis in our NHS
kids on drips curled up on floors
the current government’s heartlessness
you see, a stolen phone is nothing
when you’ve a brand-new lie to share
about the punch that never happened
by a mob that wasn’t there

When the KKK and the Kremlin
Are sharing their vodka and rye
When redneck mutherfuckers
are making Lady Liberty cry
When The land of the free is walled in
So pesky Mexicans can’t get by
That’s the day the rest of us
Watches America die.
When the Whitehouse houses a bigot
A misogynist ‘locker room’ fly
When a multi-billionaire
Stands for momma...

A White House or A Farce House ?
Awe inspired
While the whole world was
Expecting a
Brilliant lady
In a white-house
Drawing a blank
It witnessed a
Clown in a Farce
House,where
With the rob of Democracy
Takes stage Autocracy!
If spoken must
Be the truth
The revolting unfolding
Augurs ill to the youth,
The successors,
The task forces of
A given nation,
Who deserves
A better attention
To take the nation
To a n...

Election USA
Conniving madness-
ever in the wings-
has come centre stage
strutting with a fringe
as a stick
with which to stir
a pot of bile and fear
whose drips and spills
point towards
a new strategy:
suicide
disorder
and self harm
that hang about
on every corner
on every farm
as wild seeds
are privately sown
in a different time
and every home.

A"Wicked woman'"From a Wicked Man
That "Wicked woman!"
Is a wicked utterance
From a wicked man
Clowning, who plan
To get every possible
& oblivious voter a fan!
A wicked man
Revoltingly believes
Women are wicked
Oblivious he is
Out to slaughter
His sister, mother
,wife and daughter !
What a trash
What a trash
A folly that leads
A great, all-accommodating
And democracy-upholding Nation
To a lapse or a deadl...
