I don’t know, this one is just not clear.

It seems these days that we live in fear

Of saying or doing something offensive.

And perhaps we could be a bit more pensive.

But before you call out another’s deep faults

Check if your own assumptions are doing a waltz.

Just seconds to go on the Doomsday clock!

Closing in on a moment of considerable shock.

Nukes and the climate and unstable rulers…

Make you want to pack beer into coolers

And head to a place where you can feel good

Since what else can you do from our neighborhood?

Cheerleading has always seemed like a sport

Whose participants are forever sold short.

Their stunts are exceptional and very hard!

Often so dangerous that many are barred.

They work the sidelines of another game

But really deserve their very own fame.

Hang on, wait just one second here…

Do they mean to say this wasn’t clear?

Of course the figures seem pretty stark

But was anyone at all really in the dark?

They say that money can’t buy you love

But it can give the Grim Reaper a little shove.

As the nation begins an impeachment trial

And we prepare to wage war across the aisle

It seemed a good time to step back and reflect

On more important things than who we elect.

Like a dog’s global plan when it takes a dump!

Though I guess that too is a lesson for Trump…

The other two evils were poverty and war

Which were then linked to racism at the core.

Martin Luther King was an extraordinary man

A leader who said little works, but love can.

Some choose to criticize him for his imperfection

But he championed the hope of human connection.

Here’s a man who used to stand tall.

Yes he was acerbic to one and all

But with good intentions, no one doubted

Even if convention he routinely flouted.

Now you can’t recognize who he’s become,

Behaving like just another self-serving bum.

I guess the thing that really bugs me

Is how his self-interest always slugs me.

Character means that you will take stands

Fighting for them through shifting sands.

Given how often he changes conviction

Donnie’s only stand is his own benediction.

The candidate pool keeps compressing

And sadly the news remains depressing.

Everyone is focused on just beating Trump

But victory comes not from defeating this chump.

Winning America is the task at hand

Solving people’s problems across the land.

Several scientists have been known to say

We use just 2 percent of our brain in a day.

They speculate that one afternoon

The rest of the brain might bend a spoon!

But what a waste that would be, a cranial crime

When all that good energy could make a rhyme…
