"GAMES PEOPLE PLAY"
"'JUST SAYIN'"
THIS IS A LIGHT VERSION OF MY THOUGHTS TODAY! I KNOW THE SCOPE OF IMMUNITY FOR PRESIDENTS FOR OFFICIAL DUTIES AND UNOFFICIAL DUTIES. OUR FOUNDING FATHERS ARE TURNING OVER IN THEIR GRAVES. ‘JUST SAYIN’
TODAY IS THE DAY
TO JUMP AND PLAY
THE GAMES PEOPLE PLAY
TODAY, TOMORROW, AND KINGS AND QUEENS
IT DOES SEEM
I SEE THE PREVALENCE OF THIS SCHEME
OF THE CONSERVATIVE SCOTUS
BLOATUS FOR RUMPUS.
THIS IS A DAY,
THIS IS A WEEK,
TO SPEAK
OUT ABOUT THE SCOTUS RULING.
NOW WE NO LONGER HAVE ROE VS WADE.
NO TIME FOR COOLIN’,
THIS IS NOT A SPADE
BUT A MOVE ON THE CHESS BOARD.
THE CONSERVATIVE SCOTUS GAVE FULL SCOPE
TO CORPORATIONS TO SPILL OIL, POLLUTE WATER, AND DOPE.
THE SCOTUS VOTES FOR IMMUNITY FOR PRESIDENTS
DISSENT
OF TRUTH
LIES RULE THE SCOTUS
RUMPUS
THIS IS PLAYING WITH DEMOCRACY,
THE HANDMAID'S TALE Season 1 TRAILER (2017) Hulu Series
AND INTO THE PROJECT 2025.
THIS IS ALIVE.
YOU ARE ALIVE.
WE ARE ALL ALIVE.
LET’S VOTE BLUE.
IF YOU DO NOT AGREE
WITH ME
IT IS ALL GOOD.
YOU SHOULD
BUT I HAVE NO CONTROL
OVER THAT.
I DO KNOW THAT
IS THAT
I AM WITH DEMOCRACY FOR THE USA.
PEACE OUT!
I DO NOT TAKE THIS LIGHTLY!
THIS IS NOT WITH THE IDEAS OF OUR FOUNDING FATHERS
OF OUR CONSTITUTION.
AS WE CELEBRATE JULY 4, 2024,
THANK OUR UNIVERSE FOR THE LAST YEAR OF DEMOCRACY.
TURMOIL AND CHAOS WILL FOLLOW THIS ELECTION!
POSITVE PERSON HERE,
AS I SIT AND APPEAR
TO BURST YOUR BUBBLE OF CHILLIN’.
DEMOCRACY RULES!

“JUNE 25, 2024”
LOOKING THROUGH MY BACK PAGES IS THE THEME NO SCHEME JUST SEEMS THE THING TO DO. Here it is 2015. Christmas eve. Happy Holidays to everyone and Merry Christmas and all that jazz. Have a prosperous New Year. May we be in the mood for peace and love instead of hate. May we learn to love each other as human beings. May we learn to not always be at war.

His Haibun
He does not like poetry; I write it anyway and do not tell him. It's true his face is not a poet's face. It is round and open, youthful; too apt to be compared to the sun. His nose is neat. It is impossible to imagine him smoking a cigarette, terse, full of cheekbones and tension. His warmth burns my fingertips. I am here for his fascinating body, the haphazard freckles I touch one by one; he is here for my eyes, just my eyes. A sunbeam sneaks through the curtains and pierces us both, sizzling the spices of his skin. I inhale and wrap myself in him. He kisses my eyes.

Timothy
My fingers inch closer to the keyboard, itching to obliterate a day's worth of work. It's some of my best writing I've done to date, but at what cost? The words seem to bleed, dripping onto my desk. For a millisecond, I'm sitting in front of a crime scene, looking at dead, begging eyes. Why? Why me?

I couldn’t have worded this better myself! The uncertainty of the very near future is terrifying.
Excellent words,and it is disgusting what SCOTUS is doing but because of the latest ruling Biden could remove them all and replace them with people with some morals and intelligence
Thank you for writing this. It’s important we know about all disgraceful attempts to allow a criminal to hold office. Thank you again.
This is all just so scaryyyy! Hope things go well
Spot on, Vicki! I hope people see the danger and vote blue.
