"tariffs" poems
Too long this rot has run its course, too much the damage done
When men deflect acknowledged glance, they know that wrong has won.
Across this land and far afield the wrongness seeps within
And pride becomes a memory through distant halls of spin.
How can we bow to tyranny, how can we shy away
From that which causes eyes to slide.... and coaxes will to sway?
To tolerate the bombast, the bullying, the lies
Succumbing to a hopelessness, which, both we despise.
Division in the nation, uproar in between
A man and wife’s contention-ness beyond what should be seen
Brothers loathing brothers, silence in the room
Where a word uttered wrongly can erupt to screaming soon.
Allies left in tatters, trust is cut to shards
Tariffs injudiciously, imposed to **** the cards.
International uproar, industry in strife
Teetering disastrously when NATO flees the knife.
Putin sits and rubs his hands, hilarious the show
Disorder and disharmony to lubricate his glow.
Beijing sits inscrutably, always opportune
Manoeuvring judiciously, in place, to call the tune.
America, the isolate, sails away to sea
Blondini, at the helm, wears smirk indulgently.

I don't live here
I'm only camping
On this planet
I didn't plan it
Yet I feel the need to explain it
As the plaintiff
To the sheriff
Imposing tariffs
Money is their concern
While my emotions burn
They are somewhat surviving
At the price of dying
That's the cost of lying
It makes us stop trying
Only commodity buying
While silently sighing
And violently frying
Through fruitless searches
No matter what we purchase
Or how much we spend
The gripping grief never ends
When there are no hands to lend
There are no problems with these items
When we willingly refuse to sight them
They are from where our problems erupt
For we neglectfully allow them to disrupt
The connections that our hearts yearn for
And our wallets burn for
When we spend our emotions on inanimate objects
To avoid the intangible subject
Of love
We're frightened of phantoms
A life heightened by tandem
Is not in the cards
We buy for each other
They don't begin to cover
The way we feel
They are a shield
For our true emotions
Objects can't evoke one
Yet that's our language for expression
Consumerism acts as our lethal injection

_Standing with Marshal Gebbie_
No trumpet sounds.
No banner bleeds.
Just the quiet hum
of satellites watching
what we dare not name.
Power does not sleep,
it drips
from trade routes,
from whispered sanctions,
from the tremble
of a diplomat’s hand
hovering over the red phone.
We are not at war,
but we rehearse it
in algorithms,
in tariffs,
in the way maps
shrink and swell
without consent.
The empire is hungover,
but still it walks,
barefoot through proxy fields,
cloaked in plausible deniability.
And we,
the breathers between borders,
write poems
on the backs of embargoes,
sing lullabies
in contested airspace,
and pray
that silence
is not mistaken
for surrender.

Donald Trump, oh,
You fearless leader.
Of praise you are so deserving.
Never liking what critics say…
And always hoping they'll go away.
(Critics)
Donald Trump, oh,
You nasty leader--
One who’s so blind and self-serving.
Only caring about the rich.

And the people you burn….
When will they ever learn
How you're destroying this nation?
And still you expect admiration!

Your trumpists whoop and shout "hooray"
You talked a lot but talk is cheap
It's your inauguration day
and now you've promises to keep
You must ***** that border wall
or did you change that to a fence?
So wide, so deep and very tall
or were your promises nonsense?
And as for Clinton - Lock her up?
Or did you change your mind?
"Conflicting interests" you once said.
Such crimes in you they'd never find!
Will you deport each and every
undocumented immigrant?
When did you start backpedalling
from that initial angry rant?
And then there are the Muslim folk,
such a convenient bogeyman.
Will they all have to register
while you drop bombs on their homeland?
You said outsourcing steals jobs.
Let tariffs ease that trouble.
But how'll you soothe the working poor
when Walmart's prices double?
But know this, Donald, you have friends
to help with troubleshootin'.
Will you get cosy in that bed
with your dear comrade Putin?
The swamp you promised you would drain,
did it improve or worsen?
How will your bootlick billionaires
assist the average person?
And may we see at long, long last,
your tax returns today?
The ones you promised to release
but changed your mind along the way.
How will you handle, Mr. Trump,
these questions you must face?
The pressure's on you starting now
Lets hope you don't fall in disgrace.
So many promises you made
up to Inauguration day
But please don't keep them - they're so wrong
and such a price we all would pay.

Our prez is now Donald J Trump
Who has promised to clean out the sump
Well he's certainly no wussy
When groping a *****
What more to expect from a gump?
In charge of the Vice, Michael Pence
Said some things that embrace little sense,
"Global warming's a myth"
But's now taking the fifth
In attempting to straddle the fence
We all recall general Flynn
Put in charge of security spin
A trained atomiser
No more Trump's advisor -
His deal with the devil's his sin
The billionaire Betsy Devos
Making plans for a school albatross
Hating free education
Backs private castration
And kids will be bearing her Cross.
The Congress approved Jeff B. Sessions
Ignoring his racist obsessions
He seemingly cares
More for foreign affairs
While forgiving Klan's toxic transgressions.
Chief strategist Stephen K. Bannon
Develops the Great Again Canon:
The Goldman Sachs Bankster
Turned yellow rag gangster
Flings crap from the New Order cannon
Says EPA ruler Scott Pruitt
"Instead of dry facts, we intuit..."
(His work as denier
Keeps profits much higher)
"... If everything dies, well, just ***** it"
The war whoops of Mad Doggy Mattis
Awaken the death apparatus
With boundless expense
For a doomsday defence -
Armageddon administered gratis
The magnates no longer need lobby
Or fight regulations thought snobby -
Now set in the saddle
They're herding the cattle
And pulling the strings as a hobby
Now the Don can start wielding the axes
Truncating the tariffs and taxes
The Mafia boss
Is dismissing the dross
And poverty's pain as it waxes

The Black Base
In-fighting Nut-Case
Wearing kits & killing kins
Tracer bullets leave no trace!
Ak's & Ra's
Customized & hand made
Just Like Burger-king
Have it your way!
And this war is brought to you by
Your's Truly,
The infamous
NRA!
Cops shooting innocent by-standers on the block,
Innocent by-standers then copping Bump-stocks,
Dropping scores to make it count,
Odd murders 2 even out!
Sniper's posted atop rooftops,
Legislations to make him stop.
A "Mentally Challenged" Caucasian man who had gone AWOL?
Suddenly reappears like an Automatic *****
Posted @ the Hotel
Planning to **** wholesale
To get the maximum reward
Also to get closer to God,
Bodies 4 trophies
& Their Head's as his awards!
In the midst of all this
Another white supremacist
With absolutely no
Motor-skills
To run us over
& Cause massive kills
At Town Halls
Movie theaters and even at the Shopping mall
A Muslim nut-job
Planning ********
A darker American
A lighter Puerto Rican,
Or even a white broad,
Always someone@ur service
To start a brawl,
To ***** some skin
& Make it crawl,
To raise u up
Then Watch you fall.
Wild fires burning bodies bare
Of All colors,
From well done to medium rare,
White House to Gitmo
Water boarding & a bit more,
Laid back extreme sports!
**** 4 tats here,
Cliques & Gangs here
Bricks in the bag here
Clipped to the back rear,
**** yes No *** hair,
Shotguns no cab fare,
Tariffs on imports
Nuns & Nymphos
Hoes before bro's
Turning friend's into foes.
Deserted mill workers,
Over dosing on pill sherbets
Gettin' high 2 get by
Laugh hard then start to cry,
Suicides to feel Alive,
Straight up living
Just to curl up & die,
What a way to go
Get buried to touch the sKy!

As far as wars go
It's a bit of a bore,
But we are at war.
Trade war tariffs:
Monetary missiles,
Cyber attackers:
Heat-seeking hackers.
Yes, hot wars are so passé.
Cold wars,
So-called Star Wars:
All in the past.
Silent battlers
Not sabre rattlers.
Keyboard warriors
No F15s nor Harriers.
Masters of Sanctions
Not Masters of War.
Expelling diplomats
And tit-for-tats.
It's a new World War,
But it's a bore,
So pay attention,
Don't get complacent,
The war drones on.

You’ve got 99 problems but your loyalty is one,
you’ll never solve them now the World Cup is done.
Achieved by your colours that aren’t so true,
by a Nation that once treasured you.
Gretzky I believe your reign is through.
You used to shoot and inevitably you’d score,
imagine the disappointment of each Gord.
Keep the red and white but add the blue,
betray a Nation that once treasured you.
Gretzky; no longer number one not even two.
Keep your guns and keep your hate,
Canada’s not your fifty-first state.
We’ve always been a Country, one that’s great.
Went to a room and ignored the sign,
now we’ve changed the labels and removed your wine.
Disappointed in what you would do,
to a National that once treasured you.
The sadness and anger only grew.
An apology that will come too late,
Canada will never be your fifty-first state.
Not up for discussion or debate.
A concept you should understand,
you can’t put a “for sale” sign on our land.
The death of a legend came from the hands
of a bad man and a bad plan.
No longer the greatest of all time
after you’ve committed the greatest of crimes.
We won’t take the tariffs or the bait,
Canada will never be your fifty first state.
We’ll cement the actions and the date.
So stay in exile as is it your fate,
Canada won’t be your fifty first state,
cause it’s the one, the one that’s great.

I watched the morning newscast
and found my mind straining to
get out.
Out into a widening desert,
sky open and black above save for
the piercing light of billions of stars
like holes in a living room curtain.
You can call me crazy for it,
but I thought I saw Ginsberg
looking at me through the window
with a sunflower behind his ear.
In fact, I'm almost certain this was anything but an hallucination as my cat pounced at the window
(she never liked my poems either, Allen)
and startled me back into reality.
The television, right, the newscast.
Nuclear bombs and
tariffs on Mexican goods and
oh look, the president is playing golf with the Queen.
I turned it off when I saw he hit a bogey,
parted the curtains, and thought, "That's it, I'm pleading insanity. See you in Bellevue, Allen."

If the strength and superiority of the ancients
is the commander of thousands and he complains
that he has help from the donors and leadership,
I do not want to go down; I do not know what
makes the first classic, recognized servants use
the design and operation of the sports system -
Sky Box and free glasses of cognac and white
wine. Fun: the port contains a radio for a wedding
without a wedding. Trees are not included in the
above rates, and agents are not free trade. Of all
words that are not and which, as you know.
To be able to read books and learn about the
treatment, the Wall Street fish were enriched
to buy it. Other |\applications will be podcasts,
but also the best radio stations and those who
can not find a place to worry. And paint the best
way to work on the observation tower, the robot
left a beautiful woman there. According to 1 John
Rose, and after careful analysis he said England;
Paul, however, when I wave him, there can be
no radio waves. Radio messages about the wedding:
a bravery of the ancients, get married in fast water.
If she kills herself and complains that I do not want
another thousand governors to help me; I do not
know who first met with the cold and planned the
servants, when they had to be happy in the whole
sports system - boxes of cognac and white glasses
are free. Fun: has one radio for the wedding ceremony,
and on one of the weddings, he said that the trees
are not included in the tariffs, and the agents are
free trade; all the words he knows. Read books as
part of the new Wall Street treatment to buy from
significant rich fish. The complaint, the Dutch value
brightly illuminates the radio station if there is smoke
in Big House; The manager who provides the
dynamic compiler and radio station is the best,
best and largest, and there is no other. Other
applications will be podcasts, radio stations,
but in the best places you can also find your place.
Color is the best way to work with a glass robot
on the left, a beautiful woman. According to John
Rose and Internet analysts in England, San Pablo
is flying with radio waves. Radio with water from

*Don't trade your life for another
Don't sell your brother or mother
time will surely come when the waves will be calm
Look at the skies soon they'll be clear
Ask the past, did you ever think that you'd be here
so take your time, talk to your heartbeat
maybe there's something your heart is trying to say
somebody once told me you don't need to kneel
even while running away you can always pray
running from the shadows of temptation
escaping the idle and misleading contemplation
look at the road ahead... don't dwell on the life you've led
those are costs gone, tariffs already paid
stop living like you're dead, start breathing instead
for you have a life time ahead,
you can change the view in front of you
it's never late albeit it seems like it's overdue
you can make it...just keep going endure the pain
to the light at the end of the tunnel, watch out for oncoming trains
every step you take is a step closer to your destination
learn to forget the past...it can't answer your questions*

In Greenland, another billion tons of ice were dropped in
The drink, this time it melted in less than a day, recently,
No way! Our king-kong sized terrible-two just dissolved our
Nation's humanitarian program in USCIS, which allowed kids to
Stay because of severe medical needs, where's the republican's
Hearts?, the world at large, and everyone of us should, bay!
Still ineffectively addressed by the dinos, impeachment,
Grows more necessary to defend our country and the world.
The tariff war, which is only a growing tax on each US
Citizen by the republican conspiracy and the Trump
Organized crime family, shout out, we the people
Will not stand for tariffs that are only taxes on us!
To top it all, at the G7 Summit, RumputiN/vlad-the-impaler
Tried to get them to let Russia come back in next year's one?
They didn't go for it so he stated that he wanted the next
Meeting to be at his Miami resort, not only so he could
Make a killing over-charging everyone for everything, but,
Also so he could just allow vlad in against All wills, never!

not at all
I refuse to pay, take the fall
Oh Dear Canada please build us a wall
I tried to cross the border
no success, they said I have to pay
what?
tariffs they said
oh my, oh my for me? why?
you are ugly
we have a 25% tariff on ugly Canadians
I was shocked, as that's a lot
I showed them my passport again
please reconsider?
they looked and said *** do you not have a mirror?
for you is times three, 75%
All my mirrors broke and cracked long ago
what could I say?
No Ugly America for me

What demands our attention today?
A war devoid of consequences,
Or a history shaped by creationism?
A stillbirth born without shame?
Vivid pain and haunting memories linger.
A wedding absent of both bride and groom—
Did we call for the ceremony too soon?
The Gen Z lifestyle is riddled with artificial deceptions.
An unforgettable presidential race stands as a historical disgrace.
Did the pope truly have a closed casket,
Or was it merely a non-cadaver?
Platforms like Facebook are swarming with scammers—
More than we've ever witnessed before.
Referrals are obsolete;
Being broke has become a norm,
Your wallet may as well be smoking.
Buy one, get one free—Temu’s prices tempt us all.
This is the reality of U.S.-China trade tariffs.
Are our lives dictated by the Bollywood Referrals Act?
Isn’t that the truth?
Comsi comsa.

Yesterday, the coal mine closed
Like the future we were promised
Heaven only knows
And the steel factory’s next
I do suppose
Since the tariffs were placed
Business comes and goes
Where in the world
Does a working man go?
When he’s put in his time
But has nothing to show
But a broken back
And calloused hands
When he’s unable to meet
His family’s demands?
We made a choice
The last election
We were told we’re going
In a new direction
Which helped us in
Making the selection
But all that we’re seeing
Is his dereliction
Where in the world
Does a working man go?
When he’s put in his time
But has nothing to show
But a broken back
And calloused hands
When he’s unable to meet
His family’s demands?

**** his admin., are ‘using’ the corona virus
as multiple means to their plethora of ends.
Many, many ends, ends of lives, animal, humane
and otherwise, will be taking place due to their
modus operandi. How much will it matter how
"close and together" we've become if there’s
250,000 less humane, if a % of the remaining
don’t vote in the election in the Fall because
the “virus will come back with a vengeance,
for a lot of people will go back to operating
as if it’s gone, just because things got better
by Summer”, out of fear of dying or causing
the death by pandemic of their family, friends,
and a king-kong sized terrible-two gets re-
installed into the Black-house? After the bi-
polar axi of global supposed power, socialist,
totalitarian China, Utin one and his **** the
other, capitalist, republican one conspired to
try and cower the usa citizenry with their
fake trade war, that was no more than a repub
increase of tax on each citizen, because the
Chinese corps. just increased their prices on
consumer goods to cover the cost of tariffs,
failed to, it's plausible that they came up
with the pandemic to permanently cower man,
the environmental cause and segue humanity
into it's extinction. Awakened, illimitable
potential, indivisible as life, you, can stop
them. If you're not taking bullets you're
making them. The 'big fix' is in, if it ain't
fixed don't break it. Social distance, wear
masks, vote early, protect, occupy and GOTV,
be well, viva la vida, viva la evolucion.

once there was still time
you downloaded all the mp3's
a man who never becomes a man can
before he passes his deadline to become a man
so never becomes a man
alex chilton and all kinds of richard hell
yeah, a few of us even took it all off back then
but the day became another day
and then another day
and one day, your good day
was making $40 CAD on a baseball card trade
not just a hobby, but an investment you had said
in-between downloading your mp3's and briefly pledging your soundtrack love
to woman after woman before changing your mind
then, even that day was over
none of the girls who became women worked out
not a single one
forever proud to be a canadian
who voted for trudeau every single time
now you're just reduced to tweeting
"you don't get it, you really don't get it"
when your dear weak leaders are mocked
the tariffs are coming, the tariffs are coming

Is something that's not
One of their outstanding features.
Although Trump's values collide
With theirs, they're still satisfied
That as chief of state
He'll make us great
For he still has God on his side.

TRUMP CONGRATULATES PUTIN ON HIS “VICTORY”
Advice often falls on deaf ears
As Trump crosses brand-new frontiers.
Best wishes to Putin
Don't make for smart shootin'.
He ALWAYS confirms our worst fears.
The man just cannot resist
Putin, who’s first on his list.
Will no one say why
Putin's his guy?
Melania ought to be ******

DACA
Trump might seem to talk a
Great deal about DACA.
Often he’ll dare
To say Dems don’t care.
What a bunch of ****

INTERVIEW WITH STORMY DANIELS
In Stormy's concise interview
Not much was revealed that was new.
Does IT seem to strike
You, too, that it's like
Experiencing déjà vu?

The D.T. Playbook: Chapter 2:
Alienate your allies and friends.
Then sidle up to strongmen
Leaders, pretending to make amends.
Impose tariffs on your close allies.
Oh, yes, and don't forget
To stupidly suggest that they
Could possibly be a national threat.
Countries that were threats in the past
Might be scrambling head over heels
To make what in the future for you
Will be lucrative business deals.
Overlook the fact that your
Dictator friends have a score
Of D minus or F on human
Rights violations heretofore.
Although you and your allies have
Supported one another for years,
Let them know that you support
Countries that will give you cheers.
Keep ignoring foreign involvement
In past elections. Instead attack
People in your own system.
Tell them faith is what they lack.
Don't forget: distractions, distractions.
Always keep confusion brewing
So people have a tough time seeing
What kind of damage you are doing.
Finally, keep repeating words
And phrases over and over. Create
The illusion that your strategies
Are going to make the country great.
