This Calls for Punishment

This one is within

The call for punishment.

It is out of line—

Yes, one hundred percent.

You have the right to free speech,

The right to say what you want.

But there are words, once gone,

That are going to come back to haunt.

The president-elect of Oxford Union

Uttered words best left unsaid.

He should have stopped quicker,

Before the light turned red.

“Charlie Kirk got shot—

Let’s f------ go!”

That’s a celebratory phrase among Gen Z;

I think you ought to know.

“Charlie Kirk got shot loool”—

An exaggeration of “laughing out loud.”

Words meant to bring humor

To an ill-mannered crowd.

Death is never funny,

And jokes like that are in ill taste.

Yes, the president-elect should resign—

And do so in great haste.

 

Let Them Stay

“Immigrants or illegal immigrants?

There’s a difference,” she snapped.

Draw a line; leave them out—

Those here illegally should be zapped.

A lower cut,

A lesser being.

Those here illegally

Should be fleeing.

Take a broom,

Get them out.

Chase them away—

Scream and shout.

These are not true immigrants;

There’s quite a difference, you know.

These are they here illegally—

Send them away; they need to go.

Shame them, shun them,

Cast them out.

We will not have them

Here about.

Intolerance for them?

Well, it seems so to me.

But I’m not against allowing them—

Let them stay, and let them be.

Joe Biden’s Body Cams

Joe Biden rolled it out—

a good program, without a doubt.

He called for all federal law enforcement units

to wear body cams.

He said, Just do it—

and don’t do it just equal to tiny kilograms.

Do it—do it all, and do it right.

Don’t miss a thing—

completely and tight.

But somehow the job didn’t get done—

not by noon,

and not by the setting of the sun.

Lack of money to implement?

Or did they just want to keep it easy

to catch the immigrant?

Whatever the cause,

whatever the reason,

wearing body cams never came to full season.

Some were worn,

and there were trial efforts—

but mostly they ran from the mandate

as if from lions and leopards.

It isn’t right—

no, not at all.

Government amuck,
and justice AWOL.
