The Israeli /Palestinian wars
Have their roots in the slamming of doors.
Israel tells Palestine
‘All this is mine’
Without honoring ‘All this is yours’.
Placebo
To be safer many think it is best
To keep masking, social distance, the rest.
Those in defiance
Are supporting the science:
Voluntary control group for the test.
Sticks and Stones
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene
Shouts lies and threats, makes a scene.
Ocasio-Cortez
Hears what she says.
Q is how you spell Drama Queen.
Made their bed, now they must lie about it.
Big mouth, big hair, and big tie:
Still the Republican’s big guy.
Seems they have no one greater
Than a would be dictator,
Now they are stuck with the Big Lie.
3 moves = 1 house fire
A house full of things to possess.
Things to pack or discard or assess.
I feel it’s a battle
With decades of chattel.
Perhaps, dear, we should have had less.
Mothers Day 2021
The Christian view: God is the Father.
For myself, a Mother I’d rather.
If heaven’s eternity
Isn’t patient maternity
I don’t think that it’s worth the bother.
Parole denied
Decided: that Trump has no place
On the internet’s own Book of Face.
Fomenting insurrection
Is not Facebook’s direction.
He’s taking it with his usual grace.
Leadership
Republican House Rep Liz Cheney
Says Trump must stop lying, quite plainly,
Which has the effect
She ought to expect:
Flak from the Party heads mainly.
Permission Granting Day
Today is the first day of May,
Or as I say, Permission Granting Day.
You may say aloud
That things are allowed.
When asked “May 1?”, say “One May!”
Nominated to succeed Merrick Garland, US Court of Appeals
Ketanji Brown Jackson studies law.
Her detractors look hard for a flaw.
Her nomination is bona fide.
She’s very qualified.
(And she’s also my cousin-in-law.)
