How many more lies has he told today
The tweeting President of the U S of A
With him one lie leads to another previous lies to disguise
And it does seem with him he believes his own lies
Between Hilary Clinton and Donald J Trump for President for the U S voters not much of a choice
For a great Country for the wealthy and privileged they share a common voice
In a Land where millions of people live in dire poverty
And widening to a chasm the gap of inequality
The U S a once great Nation seems on the decline indeed
And of a great leader it is badly in need
Not a President who has said it is okay for men women to grope
For gender equality he offers little hope
If i said in public what Donald J trump says i would end up in jail
It is true about money the power of it never fail
Trump is no better than any of the despotic leaders in the World of today
And sadly he is the President of the once great U S A
We live in an age when lying is seen as okay
And Donald J Trump at this does lead the way
In his every tweet there are more and more lies
And each lie he tells to another gives rise.

Zig
A down to earth fellow the German Zig
His baldness he does not cover with a wig
Of pride and it's side affects he is quite free
What he truly is he appears for to be
Single in his early forties he does not have children or wife
Though he does have a part time female lover in his life
Who he liases with often though not every day
Just a casual affair at best one might say
One who patronizes the local bowls club
And enjoys a few beers with his mates at the pub
Twenty two years out of Germany yet his accent he retain
This part of his Homeland today with him does remain
Though he greets most people with a friendly good day
He is a quiet enough fellow with few words to say
Though not very talkative he is also not shy
Quiet waters run deep to his sort does apply
Of average height and build his hair balding and gray
He is one i see often though not every day
Like some males do he does not cloak his baldness by wearing a wig
A down to earth fellow the likeable Zig.

An Agnostic
The existence of a god in a paradise in the sky
Is something an agnostic does not believe in or neither deny
Proof of existence to believe is what an agnostic need
And she or he to the teachings of theologians never pay any heed
To be opinionated in one way or other agnostics seem free
They only believe on with what their eyes do see
With your words an agnostic you will not deceive
Without living proof they will never believe
Of the existence of a supreme creator them you will never convince
Lack of proof to question the existence of a god they use in their defence
Yet they are not opinionated since opinions they do not hold
For to express an opinion they would not be so bold
And because they do question the existence of this creator called god
Most religious people dismiss them as odd.

On Gillian Triggs
Friday 28-07-17 as President of Australia's high commission for refugees was her last day
On internet comments on Gillian Triggs few have nice things to say
Yet she spoke out for people deprived of their human rights and for a fair go for all
And in those who speak for the oppressed there is nothing small
Is it only extreme and racist nationalists who bother to write
Their biased opinions on every political web site
Gillian Triggs does speak on behalf of the marginalized and oppressed
And those who believe on a fair go for all with her can only feel impressed
Those who verbally attack people like Gillian Triggs must feel it is quite okay
To know that the marginalized and stateless are treated in such a shameful way
Refugees in Australian run offshore detention centers are serving prison time
Yet to want a better and a safer life is their only crime
And Gillian Triggs who in her words is their friend
A lot of right wing opinionated people does seem to offend.

On The Passing Of Gurrumul
The passing of Gurrumul the saddest news for many a day
On his forty sixth year of life the great person passed away
The greatest ever singer of Australia's first race
So humble in his ways he was one with grace
Forty six years in darkness since he was born blind
Lady luck to poor Gurrumul never was kind
But to compensate for his loss of sight he had the gift of song
Among the World's great singers Gurrumul does belong
In the language of his tribe the great man did sing
To entertainment a new form of spirituality Gurrumul did bring
His type of singer to say the least rare
No other quite like him with which to compare
At a young age the gift of life from a great man has gone
But at least his amazing voice on tape does live on
For a better and a happier World to live in he planted his own seed
Gurrumul he was an amazing person indeed
From his physical ailments in his death he found release
The amazing blind singer Gurrumul may he now rest in peace
Among the great singers of the twenty first century he has taken his place
The pride of his Nation and of his indigenous race.

Polish John
Does not know if he is a father only know he has a wife
Polish John has lived in Warrnambool for more than six decades of his life
Quite a likeable old fellow and wise and clever as well
Of his younger years in war torn Poland he has many sad stories to tell
Though wrong things to his Country and to him and his family were done
Polish John holds no grudges against any Country or against anyone
And though he never did spend that many years in school
He is one of the most intelligent and wisest people in Warrnambool
Polish John will tell you that people to each other can be cruel
In the nineteen forties he left Poland for to escape Russian rule
Though his Homeland he never again was to see
He feels happy that Poland today is independent and free
He must be close to if not ninety for his age a healthy man
More than eight decades of memories Polish John does span
A slight trace of the accent he was born into with him does remain
Of his past along with the war memories of Poland is all he does retain
For one of his years his memory is great
Used to see him more often in the past than i do of late
Though i did see him last week walking on Liebig Street
He is one i do always feel happy to meet.

To Your Higher Self
To your higher self you can only stay true
If you treat others as you would like them to treat you
Those who wrong others deliberately in any way
Eventually to Karma some price have to pay
On your pursuit of your dreams of wealth and renown
Never in word or deed drag anyone down
In life those willing to give can expect to receive
On this philosophy for living i for one believe
By helping somebody of your help in need
For yourself you are planting Karma's good seed
Those who believe in living for self only believe their own lie
There is more to life than living for me, myself and i
To your higher self you can only stay true
If you treat others as you would like them to treat you.
