Yeah, that’s weird

So I kinda get their worship of cows

And if that’s what you’re into, the poverty vows.

But can’t say it all really makes much sense

When mixed in with the prayers and the incense

The Dalai Lamai himself, highest on the rung,

Suggests to a boy that he suck his tongue…

Stand your ground?

Headlines can never give us the full jist

No doubt there’s background that shouldn’t be missed.

But suffice it to say that in this case

Two men with big guns were in the same space

By accident or not one of them died

It wouldn’t have happened without guns at their side.

Can we agree?

Without knowing or guessing who’s at fault

Can anyone take this with a grain of salt?

Both the right and the left should be outraged,

A war on global security has been waged.

But will we condemn this act of treason?

Not if we find a partisan reason…

Blind Justice

So Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas

Has made the nation a solemn promise:

A man of the people with modest taste!

Or maybe he really is just two-faced.

Gifts on private jets and luxury yachts…

Never mind the glaring ethical knots.

No, they’re just whiners

Of course they’re not as bad off as they think!

They’re coddled and pampered, they’re a weak link.

All the trophies for just showing up at a race

Doesn’t matter if they all came in last place!

Oh boo hoo, things are all totally bad!

Well maybe they should decide to be glad.

And in other news…

It’s a big news day, that much is certain

With plenty of prizes behind the curtain.

But as MAGA nation rallies its crew

The biggest story is a different coup.

Finland has joined the NATO Alliance

A message to Putin of defiance.

Southern charm

So the right honorable MTJ

Has come to New York this historic day

To flaunt her support for ‘ole DJT

And kinda celebrate his criminal spree!

Quite a far cry from New York’s team of Reps…

Not that they won’t go endorse his missteps.

Stop the charade

All businesses do what they have to do

To make ends meet, and sure some profit too.

But codes are broken, both moral and more,

When they have a mission that they ignore.

News companies MUST fact check all their news!

Irrespective of their audience’s views.

Maybe avoid the Poke

So here’s a new trend that’s just “taking off”

It involves food and clothes and breaking off

Inhibitions and a resistance to

Social norms which create a distance to

Our innocence and appreciation

Of incredible food… and flirtation?

That would be foresight

Remember the ruckus of that rear view

When her jacket said: I don’t care do you?

The liberals all thought that she was vapid

The criticism raged, loud and rapid.

What did she mean? How could this be okay?!

Turns out she was messaging for this day…
