Principal Concerns

Posted by agarrabrant

0

When you’re more concerned

for principles than people,

your naked face will show us.

~

He who shall not be

named doesn’t care for either.

 He just cares for number one.

Essential Ingredients

Fighting the good fight

in not for the faint of heart;

it requires fortitude.

~

Love strengthens the heart,

 faith fosters fortitude, hope

looks forward – we need all three.

Nevertheless We Persist

Posted by agarrabrant

0

When your body aches

and your mind can not focus,

it’s hard to craft a poem.

~

We may be weary

and worn, but we right ourselves

with daily writing.

Supreme Rule

Posted by agarrabrant

Is it his intent

to break Federalism?

Seems he’s off to a great start…

~

 Autocracy is

that to which he aspires –

one embodied by liars.

Chilling Reality

Posted by agarrabrant

0

Does this rainy chill

make global warming a lie?

Liars would have it so.

~

Some of us believe

what we want to believe, slant,

twist, and prune facts to that end.

What Old Blues Men Knew

Posted by agarrabrant

0

Lately we’re singing,

“Where , oh where has caring gone

four long years passing?”

~

 A damned long sentence

this nation has had to pull

for the crime of apathy.

Rainy Days and Mondays

Posted by agarrabrant

0

Rainy afternoons

fail to dampen the spirit;

same can’t be said of clothing.

~

  Gentle falling rain,

clothes dryers, and the lilting

 song of birds keep us serene.

What have we become

when reopening we ask ,

“What’s ‘acceptable loss’?

Are we willing to

lose our humanity for

a monetary profit?

Oy Vey

Our super-duper,

stable genius president

touts super-duper missle.

Mere words just can not

convey my total dismay

in any meaningful way.

Proudly Worn

Posted by agarrabrant

When feeling the heat

of presidential ire

becomes a badge of honor…

~

Truly an honor

in the age of unstable

Trump and narcissistic rage.
