Blowhards

How many shoulders

were dislocated this month,

patting themselves on the back?

~

The answer, my friend,

is blowing in the wind that

swept humility aside.

If It Bleeds It Leads. Otherwise, Shoot It.

Where, oh where have those

old values gone in this age

of gross incivility?

~

Statesmanly reason,

and measured, nuanced response,

offer no zippy soundbites.

To Win Or To Serve

How can people tell

politicians from statesmen

before the ballots are cast?

~

Before and after –

statesmen don’t scorch the earth,

they nourish and protect it.

Superlative Dunsail

 If Trump can’t govern

his tongue, how can we expect

him to govern a nation?

~

Some people believe

that he who governs the best

is he who governs the least.

How can this great noise

emanate from one with such

an insignificant voice?

~

For him to be great

again requires only

volume but not a sound plan.

How many maxims

can you state and break before

you have completely maxed out?

~

One with no compass

relies on sententious pomp

rather than admit he’s lost.

Call Of The Wilde

Posted by 2garrabrants

What did Wilde call

he who knows everything’s price

yet has no clue its value?

~

Cynics fit the bill

but never want to pay it –

not now or going forward.

Why not begin and

end the day with gratitude

for one small happening?

~

One small happening

that punctuates every day

assures gratitude.

Lost And Found

Must politicians

always found their campaigns on

endless animadversions?

~

Negativity

and blame is much easier

for those of small heart  and brain.

Familial Fallacy

Why do we insist

that father knows best when it’s

clear that mother knows better?

~

Fathers and mothers

comfort and protect the young:

perhaps adults need neither.
