You know climate denial folk will
Say it’s bunk because they’re in a chill.
They won’t know it’s disaster
‘Till the oceans rise faster
Than a Texas electricity bill.
Climate Change Change
Trump’s climate stance? I’m embarrassed!
It’s different with Biden and Harris.
The world can’t afford
U.S. not in Accord.
I sure wish I could go to Paris.
Or you could Cruz to Cancun
Texas has gas which it uses
For power ‘till cold pops their fuses.
Folk claim wind and solar
Won’t work when it’s polar
But you can’t heat your home with excuses.
…and not all juries can be bought.
Thinks he’s acquitted. In fact
He’s culpable for violence he backed.
Homeland Security, you see
And NAACP
Say he violated Ku Klux Klan Act.
Thin Tuesday
New Orleans is quiet and gray:
Mardi Gras cancelled today.
Masquerade called to task
But please still wear your mask!
«Laissez le bon temps rouler»!
Who cares what boat?
I’m as White as they come, I confess.
Pedigree, Privilege, the rest.
But I do not claim power
Coming from the Mayflower
When coming from slave boats claim less.
Game over
Forty three Senators vote to ‘Acquit’.
The chances were slim. I’ll admit.
Unswayed by the truth
Or the murderous proof.
Made their bed, they will lie in it.
Extra innings
They’re unrelenting, unrepenting and pitiless:
Rub their noses in it by calling a witness…
I’m sure there’s no shortage
From recent reportage.
Senator McCarthy must be scared witless.
Snake oil
They said ‘He’s okay’. He was not:
Trump was sicker than previously thought.
Last October, I mean,
With COVID-19.
Making moral judgement, I am not.
In the weeks after his hospitalization, Mr. Trump was convinced that the Regeneron treatment had saved his life, telling aides, “I’m proof it works.”
That line became a running joke among top health officials, who would ask each other whether anyone was going to break it to Mr. Trump that he was in fact a failed clinical trial result for Regeneron, since the aim is to prevent people from being hospitalized after receiving it, one former senior administration official said.
Two for a Biased Jury
1.
What will this impeachment have solved
If some Senators have him absolved?
Trump may never be chastened
But the time will be hastened
When no more we about him revolved.
2.
Some Senators think they’re exempt
From watching videos so verkempt.
Don’t excuse their absence
But record evidence
And hold the whole gang in contempt.
