Good luck with democracy… take a look.

This is an epic fail in any book.

Black students in our nation’s public schools

Simply aren’t developing needed tools.

Why is this happening? What is the cause?

We’re just plain doomed if we can’t fix these flaws.

Just weeks ago the state was on fire,

Its control of covid something to admire.

Things were open, economy booming.

But now it seems disaster is looming.

DeSantis took credit when all was good,

Will he have the spine to do what he should?

There are so many jobs we need to fill

There aren’t enough people – it’s overkill.

Yet unemployment remains very high

It seems there are folks who don’t want to try.

Sure there’s a gap between job skill and need

And also people who’d rather smoke weed.

It’s shocking indeed he’d take this approach!

I would have thought he was beyond reproach.

On what proof does he think he has no case?

It’s not like we have photos showing his face.

At least not ones without any war paint…

He’s just a normal guy showing restraint.

Not that I need yet another reason

To believe that Facebook ain’t so pleasin’

But here it is, on prominent display…

The malignant cancer of our day.

A stage so large it circles the globe

And nothing but costumes in the wardrobe.

The spiteful person could look at this news

And think yup, this dumb nutcase got his dues.

But that would be mean and unproductive.

Instead let’s hope it becomes constructive.

Maybe just maybe his audience base

Will learn a lesson from this tragic case.

I hope this is as crazy as things can get

‘Cuz already it’s posing an insane threat.

In San Fran you get paid pretty good money

If you don’t shoot people… it’s not very funny.

It’s an actual thing, worth 300 hundred bucks

Paid every month! As a policy it sucks…

There is the temptation to ask “For what?”

Especially since victory was not clear-cut.

So many lives lost, so many dollars spent

And little to show for where it all went.

Imagine being this last soldier there…

With all that emptiness in the air.

Philosophers come in all shapes and sizes

Delivering wisdom and little prizes.

So why not find them on sweatshirts too?

In all different sizes and the color blue…

These sure are words that I see myself saying

Likely right after some intense praying…

I don’t mean to be in the least unkind

But need to ask, “Are you out of your mind?”

Of course it’s not even close to okay

For roommates to eavesdrop in any way!

You might need fewer therapy sessions

If people like this stopped their transgressions.
