New Poem: COME APART TOGETHER

 six injustices danced their mess around 

 Inside chambers of not so Supreme Court

 dig up and reanimate Jim Crow

 Roberts and his Feckless Five ruled for disorder

 Clarence pulled up the Black vote ladder

 Trump Court saying this is what it is now

 we made it harder to fight 

 what you mere citizens believe isn’t right

New Poem: KEN BURNS AT BOHEMIAN GROVE

WELL. WHY SHOULDN’T I GO THERE?

because old (mostly white) boys still run the world

and I make long TV shows

about old (mostly white) boys

with occasional girls in support

please don’t ask me about Jann Wenner

New Poem: I WAS IN THE HOUSE WHEN THE SUPREME COURT KNOCKED IT DOWN

 they killed Roe Versus Wade

 then they went after the EPA

 ideologues giving extremists what they crave

 laws only to be decreed by corporations and states

 large money Democrats yodel this familiar tune:

 VOTE BLOOO NO MATTER WHOOO

 some voters will be scared into blind support

 terror of a nation with federal bans and more overturns

 but if the Democratic majorities occur

 very little of what’s promised will change

 with lots of rationalizations about the Beltway

 and reluctance to do anything resembling activism

 because activism might scare big donors and cultural conservatives 

 so get ready for an America with liberty liposuctioned 

 and a 2024 with air raid sirens again yodeling:

 VOTE BLOOO NO MATTER WHOOO

Poem About The Supreme Court

 Roe V Wade was settled law until it wasn’t 

 the Federalists got what they lobbied for

 the Fundamentalists rejoicing over Alito

 as he, with his team of ideological vandals,

 used pickaxes and jackhammers 

 to remove over 50 years of asphalt

 forcing women to walk barefoot on cobblestones
