New Poem: KEEP CLEANING UP AISLE USA

 turn away from sparklers waved by gotcha interrogators 

 don’t fall for lies told by the cemetery desecrators

 there’s no reason to again wallow in the Pit of Venality 

 we must be better than this

New Poem: WHEN THERE WERE GOOD ONES

 read this phrase from a living poet eulogizing a deceased poet:

 went to local poetry readings when there were good ones

 >

 I knew the deceased poet and he was kind to me

 even though I was nowhere close to his level of accomplishment 

 and I knew he wouldn’t write a sentence eulogizing someone

 with the phrase I quoted from the Eminent Living Poet

 >

 to me, all the local readings I attended were good ones

 you learn from the best, the mid-level and the worst

 and there are talks to talk and walks to walk

 even if you choose to talk and walk

 without a feverish despair for what may be fickle acceptance

New Poem: WHY ONE NIGHT OF THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION IS ENOUGH

 only so many times I can:

 be gaslighted

 listen to Lee Greenwood 

 hear Duped By the Left testimony

 watch a Teamster president believe he’s winning minds

 witness Donald Trump’s ear bandage

 tolerate Chris Wallace going gaga for Trump

 endure fake assurance that extremists aren’t extreme

 

New Poem: BLUE MAGA HAIKU

 vote blue regardless 

 vote blue you no matter who

 vote blue mindless now

New Poem: GOD TALKS TO JOE BIDEN

 don’t try to pin this on Me

 you, presenting as Samson

 proclaiming only you can beat Trump

 boasting no one can take me out 

 except the Lord Almighty 

 >

 there are billions of souls needing help and refuge

 I’m not coming to Earth to reward your vanity

 by making a case for Kamala over you

 use your common sense

 it’s what I gave you at birth

 

Joe Biden says Oh well, at least I tried if he loses existential battle for democracy

George Stephanopoulos: And if you stay in and Trump is elected and everything you're warning about comes to pass, how will you feel in January?

Joe Biden: I'll feel, as long as I gave it my all, and I did as good a job as I know I can do, that's what this is about.

That Was The Debate That Was Ramble

 CNN said no on-camera fact checking apparently because if facts were checked on-camera and one candidate had more wrong facts and/or outright lies than the other then pointing this out via on-camera chyrons would have indicated bias and CNN in the Zaslav era cannot indicate bias at all whatsoever.

And this is how democracy dies.
