Trump in
Quicksand
              By Lance Carden
 
 Trump’s house is built
            politically
            on mere quicksand--
on lies, half-truths, & hate,
            on which
            biblically
nothing can firmly stand.
 
So, sooner than later,
            prophetically,
            Trump’s tall towers,
his henchmen, & all
            seem certain
            to self-collapse,
& great will be their fall.

As Virus Numbers
Start Rising Again!
            By Lance Carden
 
In the Battle of the Virus,
            Covid v. Fauci,
the President’s deciding
            with obvious dread:
“Dr. Fauci is losing,
            a worrisome trend;
so, I’m joining with Covid,
            Mr. Covid, instead.
Dr. Fauci is losing--
            so, off with his head!
 
“Let’s everyone get sick
            & then jump into bed;
it’s better for businesses,
            & I’ll win in the end.
So, I’m joining with Covid
            to immune the whole herd;
all the others are suckers,
            or losers, instead.
Dr. Fauci is losing--
            so, off with his head!”

The Election That Could Break America
If the vote is close, Donald Trump could easily throw the election into chaos and subvert the result. Who will stop him?
Story by Barton Gellman| The Atlantic

Me for President
            By Lance Carden
 
When I was a little child,
            it was said
anyone could be President,
            even me,
though I could never quite
            believe it,
assuming it would have to be
            somebody
obviously, undeniably right.
 
But now, with the presidency
            filled by
Mr. Donald J. Trump,
            my term
as POTUS seems less & less
            mad,
& more like an absolutely
            possible jump!
 
I’m Lance Carden, & I approve
            of this ad.

                    Souls for Sale?                                                    By Lance Carden

​There is no longer
any room
 for doubt
           about whether
our President, Donald Trump,
         has sold out
     his office
        & his soul,
 but we might have to wait
as late
          as December
                    to witness the fate
of some other GOP souls,
        in the House
          & the Senate--
to know
if they also are about to be sold!
