Can’t feel the pulse

The government’s job is not to pander

It’s to do what’s best, as a commander.

But heaven help us with this current crew!

I fear Joe and his team don’t have a clue

About the dynamic with real people

And can’t seem to come down from their steeple.

Where Evil lurks

No one should throw these terms around loosely

Reserve them for when you feel profusely

As I do now about this Alex Jones

A despicable creature who still owns

Infowars and websites to make noise in,

Profiting from ugly, hateful poison.

Balance

America needs a strong center-right

If we want our future hopeful and bright.

It has to offset the far-left extreme

And be much more than Fox News makes it seem.

Those who claim love for the Constitution

Should have respect for our two-party solution.

Easter Egg… hunt?!

Delayed gratification? Nope not here!

Just scoop ‘em all up and watch parents cheer.

It goes along with all the coddling

As if there’s no end to the swaddling.

Kids now grow up thinking life is easy

Heads in the clouds, it’s carefree and breezy…

Ok, NOW it’s serious!

Ubiquity makes it invisible
And plastic is highly divisible.
Its microbes turn up almost everywhere
Yet so very few people seem to care.
But we really need to give it a think…
Now that it’s even in the beer we drink!

They’re sure f*#cked THIS time

When this first happened we gave it some time

Because it showed spirit fighting this crime.

And now the plot line gets even better

Because that warship is a bit wetter!

It rests in a place it’s not meant to be…

Torpedoed on the floor of the Black Sea!

On the bright side…

So this driverless car gets pulled over.

The cops don’t know it’s an auto rover.

When they go to issue a citation

The car takes off to a new location!

The Po-Po’s left in a pretty odd spot,

But the good news is that no one got shot.

Spoiler alert: “like”

It’s no secret that I have long believed

So much of our pain could be relieved

By killing platforms which further the chance

For mindless provocation to advance

Fueled by algorithms that make posts spike

When angry people tap “retweet” and “like.”

BeReal… honest social media?!

Who would have thought the French had it in them

To come up with this anti-FOMO gem?

No staging or enhancements on this site

Just life unfolding, byte by byte.

I hope its success goes on and persists,

And helps people see normal life exists…

Bloody great investment

The team of investors who checked it out

Said this thing really sucks, without a doubt.

“Unsatisfactory in all aspects”

Was one comment which the report reflects.

But the Saudis and Kushner get along well,

It’s a pleasant partnership, made in Hell.
