The brainless puppet played its part
on the world stage

Like the emperor’s new clothes,
everybody thought he was real

except the people who were
paying attention and didn’t
believe the blatant lies.

The inept puppet masters
unqualified to rule
bumbled a country into
war and ruin by
pulling the wrong strings
and having the puppet
say the wrong things.

Imagine if the drones spread out
over every state in the country
and the Biden Administration
still did nothing about it.

Imagine if the drones at that
point doused the whole country
with deadly agents killing
every living thing

except one Biden spokesperson
saying over and over and over
that the drones were just
harmless helicopters or airplanes
right before he died too.

Drones keep pouring into Jersey and other states this Dec 2024.
The government reps say they don’t know what they are or who
is sending them and are perplexed at what to do.

Instead of doing something to protect our country,
they seem to twiddle their thumbs and downplay
the threats of the drone incursions and lie.

Do you think countries like Russia or China
would act so impotent in the face of fleets
of drones invading their countries?

Pray those drones are not the first line of an attack
on our weakened country thanks to this inept government
and its litany of screwups.

An extinguished candle
A breeze in the wind
A second in eternity
An insignificant event
Among trillions and
Trillions and trillions
Time after Time
After Time after Time
Or maybe something
Wonderful beyond the
Understanding and
The Imagination of any
Present or past wise
Man or women

Drones are flying in the night skies
of New Jersey.

Birds are chirping in trees during
the days.

Dogs are barking in the city
neighborhoods.

Cars are rumbling through
all of New Jersey.

But not a peep about the drones
out of the government.

Cover ups Cover ups Cover ups.
This is what we’re getting
from the going out government.
Truth seems to always elude them
Cover ups Cover ups Cover ups.

Don’t believe what you see
in the drone infested sky above.
They are only helicopters or
probably man powered aircraft.

We have no evidence they
are from foreign enemies.
But we have no idea
what they really are.

One just crashed in NJ
behind power lines and
ten more showed up but
don’t believe your own eyes.
Cover up Cover up Cover up.

One day bad guys, next day good guys.
Eggs can’t get a break.

Cacked, hard boiled and fried to death.
Eggs can’t get a break.

They only time they get a break is when
they are broken and unceremoniously
dumped into a scorching hot frying pan.

If one can consider that a bona fide break.

Doves descended down from heaven
and flew over every country in the world.
Some countries tried to shoot them down
thinking they were sent by hostile entities.
Scientists tried to explain the phenomenon
but had no rational explanations.
As the doves spread all over the world
covering it in the whiteness of their purity
peace began to enter the minds of all
even the ones predisposed to utter evil.
Then the predicted outcome happened.
The lamb of God descended from above.

Drones all over the skies of New Jersey
The government claims they’re not
the drones of any of our enemies.
Yet the government also claims
nobody knows whose they are
and all that’s said is it’s confusing.

Since there are no attempts to
shoot any of the invading drones down,
it’s believed they are ours.

And rather than inform the public of this
not so secret secret, the government
chooses to keep the public in
a perplexed state of unease
and for some in a state of fear.

The extreme theory would be
the drones are alien sent and
the technology is too advanced
to do anything about but hope
and pray the ETs are benign.

Or, the Biden Administration is
undecided as to what to do and
is having multiple meetings
to talk about the drones to
delay having to take any
decisive actions: think
Chinese air balloon.

Love Never After

In the beginning he couldn’t get
enough of her.

He thought about her every
minute of every hour
of every day.

He couldn’t bear to be
away from her.

He felt like he couldn’t
ever live without her.

After they finally got married
and a few years passed,
and he got used to her
and she got used to him –

he argued all the time with her
and he liked it when she
was away from him,
and all the first love feelings
faded away forever.

Pity romantic love sometimes
ends like this.

The mongrel mutt sprang into my lap
wagging his tail and
looking at me like I was a celebrity.

The pampered pedigree canine
ignored me and
disdained me like I was a peasant.

Some dogs are just like disdainful
rich people and
the more welcoming poor.

He’s brighter than I ever imagined.
I thought he was just a comic,
but he was much more than that,
an IQ through the stratosphere,
an incredibly adept wordsmith.

And he had more knowledge of
more things than I’d imagined.

He was like the comic book
cover of an abundance of
unlimited mundane and
rare exoteric knowledge.

every day tears fall
all over the world
like a global monsoon

the tears flow from
a cosmos of numberless hearts
a universe of endless sorrows

loved ones murdered
loved ones killed in wars
loved ones taken from
this world far too young
from terminal diseases
and many more tragedies
and unexpected losses
of lives dear to
all those people
afflicted with
the downpours
of countless tears
will grieve endlessly

from sorrows they never
expected to fall
into their carefree lives

monsters weren’t scary to him
they didn’t frighten him one bit
it was humans who scared him
worse than fake monsters
he always said to everyone
he knew by experience
what he was talking about
with his first pets he killed
and all the people after that
he became a monster himself

without her love
without her support
his days grew longer
his nights became darker
his tears fell like monsoons
his heart kept falling apart
his life and mind became dispirited
heavy drinking and drugs became
his antidote for it all
served as his temporary relief
until he crashed and burned in his car
in a fiery collision with a tanker truck
whether it was by accident or on purpose
no one knows
