wake up, wake Up, Wake UP
raise from this fog
safe your soul
do not hand it down for the promise
of Something
wash the dishes and
turn up the flame
do not be the one to blame

wake up, Stand Up
Francie Lynch Jun 2020
For the sake of argument
Let's presuppose POTUS
Actually read the Bible.

Reporter: What's your favourite story from the O.T.
POTUS:    That David guy; when he grabs Bathsheba's *****.

Reporter: What's your favourite story from the N.T.
POTUS:    Pilate, when he washes his hands.

Folks say I'm struggling
That I'm old and confused,
They don't see all the haggling
Which leaves them bemused.

My colleagues are wordy
My enemies too,
But my willpower is sturdy
As I'm all for the Blue.

If now a bit slower
Even friends I seem faze,
But post Trump the bar's lower
And that's my fail safe.

The Media's a pain
What's with the shouting,
I shan't play their game
Their continual doubting.

Then there's old Bernie
And his Marxists galore,
With their bone headed journey
To simply point score.

Republicans matter not a bit in my mind
Obstructive and loudly they wail,
But Politics taught to never be kind
So let them act up and sullenly rail.

As to the Trumpers, what can I say
They live in a universe all of their own,
Their partisan anger a cause for dismay
While the stolen election they relive every day.

When all's said and done I'm proud of my job
Obama's on side to bring me relief,
My one secret weapon to quieten the mob
Sharing the load to make my weeks brief.

Detective shows. Being a demiromantic bisexual idiot in love.
Going to youth group. Outsmarting the other kids.
Hanging out with the older kids. **** what society says about mental ill and mentally disabled people. Because ***** off Trumpers, I am a Liberal!!!! Sorry but you are all worship a cult that doesn't even deserve a second presidency because he is a ******* stupid conspiracy theorist. Thank you for coming to my poetic rant!

Well It Seems That The Truth...
Is That A LOT of Pursuits...
AREN'T REALLY That Cool... !!!

Like The Pursuit of WEALTH...
ABOVE... Mental Health... !!!

And The Pursuit of FAME...
To Have Yourself Placed...
In A World Full of SNAKES...
Who Have... NO SHAME...
And Are MOSTLY... FAKE... !!!

Because Names In The Game...
DON'T Seem To Play STRAIGHT...

When It Comes To ****...
And Things That... STING...
For Them To Get In...
And Get STINKING Rich... !!!

A Pursuit That STINKS...
... Do You Get The Link... !?!

Because Industry Links...
Seem To Employ Tricks...
As Well As... RACISTS... !!!

And When It Comes To Kids...
Their Tricks Become SICK... !!!

Cos’ Their Pursuit of Them...
Has Caused PROBLEMS...
And Lead To... DEATHS... !!!

Because of The STRESS...
That Affect Young Heads...
When They Are Children... !!!

Because of ABUSES...
That MOGULS Be Using...
That Keep On ABUSING...
Just Like... PAEDOPHILES...
Who DON'T Seem To Stand Trial... !?!

Some Pursuits When Profiled...
Make Some People Act WILD... !!!

Like Those Who See ***...
As Something To GET...
NO MATTER What METHODS...
They Use For... *** Sessions... !?!

Many Are... FOUND...
To Pursue More Than HOUNDS...
With Those BASKERVILLE' Sounds... !!!
The DOC' And SHERLOCK...
PURSUE... Like Them COPS... !!!

Who CHOKE Men To DEATH...
When Their Knees Pressure Necks...
To Their Very LAST BREATH... !!!

Because Their Pursuits Lend...
Themselves To New Trends...
Like Those That NOW MATTER...
When Death Becomes BLACKER...
Than... Racist Attackers... !!!

You See Some Pursuits SHATTER... !!!

And Fuel PRETTY CHATTER...
That Pursues A New Chapter...
Where Black Folks Aren’t Left...
By Policemen For DEAD... !!!

You See This Poetry...
Is One That Yes Deals...
In..... REALITY.....

NOT... Pursuing POWER...
Like Those Who Now COWER...
In Bunkers Like Trumpers...
of... IGNORANT Numbers...

My Pursuit NEVER Slumbers...
Or... Pursues Those HUMMERS...
Like Suckers Now DUMBER...
Than Dumber And Dumber... !?!

It’s Really A WONDER...
Why People Pursue...
And... Do What They Do... ?!?

To IMPRESS... Be WELL DRESSED...
And Pursue What’s WORTHLESS... !?!

“It’s All Relative...”

Is What Some Would Suggest...

However To BETTER Your MIND...
... Is The Type...
of Pursuit I Now Like... !!!

Cos To Tell Y’all The TRUTH...
I’m TIRED of LIFE...
And Pursuing A Wife...
Good Times And Good Vibes...

Cos This Life’s Given PROOF... !!!
That It’s Best To Be SHREWD...

And To NOT Get TOO Cute...
When It Comes To The Moves...
You Pull To Be... “ COOL “...

It’s Like Pulling A Tooth... !!!

You Must Go To The ROOT...
of What Lies WITHIN YOU... !!!!!

So Be CAREFUL What You Choose...
And Be... WISE And ASTUTE...

When It... Comes Down To.....

....... “ What You Pursue “......
So many things that people pursue in life, but as the saying goes, sometimes, curiosity may well just **** the cat.........

— The End —
