To X you went
Your billions always
So well spent.

From CEO
To party hack
You bribed your way
You lead the pack.

You're busy now
You're busy then
You’ve bought it all
Well done. Amen.
*
This life of yours
Have you no shame?
But you must live
Up to your name.

A. I.- A. I.
A. I. - O.
Just point to Mars
Then off you go.

Build Teslas there
You know you can
Starve U.S AID
You horrid man.

When will enough
Be quite enough?
You made your point
You're so, so tough.

Left your DOGE
Get little men
You impress those.

The richest man
Will occupy
That place called Mars
At least he'll try.
And if you can
And if you do
Please take the
Orange blight with you.

Love Letters Through Time
Context: Grace (Gráinne) Gifford, was a participant in the Irish nationalist struggle against British rule, which led to ‘The Easter Rising’, Easter Monday, 1916 in Dublin, Ireland. She was betrothed to one of the leaders, who were due to be executed the morning after being taken prisoner. Joseph and Grace were married the night before in his prison cell. Joseph (Seosamh Pluinceid)) was one of the leaders of The Rising, a signatory of the Irish Proclamation and, in death, a revered Irish hero. These are my imaginings of ‘her’ final words to him. I include a few words in Irish Gaelic as the movement that led to the rebellion favored speaking Irish, instead of English. I would wager a guess, as they were both poets and writers in the Irish republican movement that she would have chosen to marry her love of country with her love of him in expressing her devotion.

clever poem- great way to express sentiments in these very bizarre and terror-filled times- laughter helps-- you offer a bit if what charlie chaplin did when the historical stage was so similar-- hopefully freedom of speech will not be threatened like 60 minutes is being threatened.. or like much of the world is being threatened
Brilliantly done!
Nice work . Please check my stories out as well if you get a chance.
