Founding Sin

en Naipes o Vida
un Forjado de Triunfo
Tu conoces la palabra _sshole?
O coal, mole y vole stole el goal?
Bueno bueno
Dueno sueno
Espectros tiene hambre pero no soul.

"To treat where it hurts, one must first acknowledge that it still hurts, something conservatives often find hard to do because it gives the lie to their self-congratulatory balloon juice about how this country has overcome its founding sin." - Leonard Pitts, 08/24/15, Chicago Sun-Times

Another Loan

"Leonard Pitts Jr.: The Girl Scouts' inspiring example of moral courage"

The sound of gunfire mars the sound of war that is July 4th
Sometimes reality kills in a loud way from true South to true North
Pass the truffles,
Plugs, and muffles.
Hear the momentaries and mugwumps roareth.

Yesterday's grift gives today's a lift
A small part of the small ess is miffed
A nice quiet break
Might ease the ache
Thank you for each peevishly-given gift.

Can anyone afford a "moment of independence?"
Isn't it enough to spend adulthood on the fence
More as a child not fully grown?
Isn't it time to take another loan
And
Creative finance 4 cents for sense?
