WELCOME TO THE RANDOM POET
These musings are fruits of frustration
from common sense often ignored.
It seems in this war of cultures –
there’s always one thing more.
. . . . especially in Illinois – for Illinois residents

Will the American Experiment Shut Itself Down? Or Not?
How broken and flawed – do things need to get,
before enough folks are roused – and care enough to act
to set things right, while still are free from threat?
♦Divest the Rest
Invest in Kids in Illinois,
nine thousand students enrolled.
With public schools still in a mess,
the Powers That Be made it fold.
The Powers That Be – they have kids too.
They go to private schools.
No more choice for me and you.
The Powers That Be set the rules.
Who suffers most but those in need,
no escape from failing schools.
With hopes now dashed and no more dreams,
social injustice is cruel.
Divest the Kids in Illinois –
Powers That Be thought that best.
Their kids excel in private schools –
so just divest the rest. . . . . . . . . . (sources used)

but instead on character content.”
So why must the champions of DEI,
judge by color of the skin?
What do they know
that MLK didn’t?
They just ‘Cancel’ those questions and spin. (end)
♦D’Oh! Only Eight?
By twenty thirty! Good news it was!
More EV Charging Stations!
Seven billion dollars marked
for juice across the nation!
And two years later – it’s eight installed,
all built with skill and zest.
A hundred thirty thousand years
are needed for the rest. (end)
♦Social Media
In ancient times, tribes with clubs would settle
all disputes where brutes displayed their mettle;
it was so grand to take a stand and die;
get killed?! Some thrill! No one to question why.
The pawns they died, whilst puppeteers survived;
no fools they who knew which strings to yank,
how to . . . . . . . . . . (continue reading)
♦Humility
Born to streets of crime, no fault of his own.
So where did you go? – how soon did you know of good options you could pursue? –
yes born of dumb luck to safe streets and love at home. (end)
♦Energy Laundering
A process used since ancient times
intended to deceive,
well known to cheats and scalawags,
hucksters and to thieves.
First rob a bank – get some cash –
then make it nice and clean.
Laundering is magical –
it cleans! – or so it seems.
Today there is a different trick
from gods of sun and wind.
