COLD, HARD FACT: EVIL IS 'AS EVIL DOES'

 


Oh, "CAGEY" is not

Super Smart;

It's more "reptilian brain".

Folks like these

Do as they please

It's all for selfish gain!

Sociopathy is the key

To scheme and bribe and con.

Yet, why do scores

Refuse to see

The wickedness of Don?


Is it  that they're just gullible,

Or yearn to be beguiled?

 Perhaps they never quite evolved:

 Their brain remains 'a child'...

A SEASONAL INTERREGNUM

                                                                      

Eggnog replaces cider-spice, and

Autumn leaves by mistletoe...

Turkey dinners are exchanged

For evergreens and powdered snow...


Scarlet overcomes orange-tones;

Hay-bales yield to Christmas trees.

No more pumpkin pie right now,

But sugar-plums on a frosty breeze!


A snowman beckons

Toward the stars;

With darkest coal-black eyes...



Yet, it's too early

He is told , for

Reindeer in the skies !!

Autumn Stands Brooding

It rose east, on high, Autumn's

Dark, slattern sky;

       So brooding; so sullen and gray.        

                         


                                White 'sheep-clouds' lay withered,

Their pillows gone flat ;

Now outlines looked

   Ragged and frayed...    



These are the skies

That foretell a grim landscape:

Damp pastures and bare-naked trees...


For months we'll light candles,

Tend fires, 'make merry'

As late-fall bends

Sun... to its knees.
