He who uses and abuses
the Rule of Law
destroys the foundation
of the nation.
Criminality alone is insufficient
to destroy the system put in place
to bring a nation into grace.
The Law is a jealous mistress
whom wives of judges should not ignore.
A wife’s voice has no place near the Bench,
nor the bed, nor the couch;
not directly into the ear,
nor spoken aloud before the crowd.
Chief Justices must deplore
women or men above the law.
Attorney Generals must assemble
facts and charges against
those who try to suspend
Law’s eminence and rule.
Ignoring such stands is playing the fool.
if Law is to rule over all,
Judges must abstain
from political refrain.
Politicians must abstain
from disinformation campaign.
We have seen it all before.
We would never countenance
such false description on a box of cereal.
Yet, we allow false descriptions
of political opponents; and the lies
in briefs filed by false prophets;
and the lies by talking heads
who entertain ignorant hoards
rather than inform.
Stand silent?
We cannot allow such a shallow response
to tsunami waves of autocratic ways
if democracy is to survive and thrive.
We must open our mouths and shout it out.
We must run to the polls and vote those out
who doubt the value of the Rule of Law,
refuse subpoenas and hide behind lies
to bring our democracy to its knees.
Stand and alight in the freedom fight.
Doubt the Thomases of this world,
watching their abuse of Law unfold.

LETTER TO GEORGE WASHINGTON
Dear George,
I write to you
with unfortunate news.
The position you first held
as leader of our new nation
is no more.
The “mister” you insisted
was to be your title,
one you proudly wore,
has been put aside.
“Mister” President is now free
to commit crimes
with immunity.
You put your sizable fortune,
your very life,
your sacred honor
on the line
to create a new nation
where no man is divine.
Each “mister” can be
charged with a crime,
presumed innocent
until found guilty at trial.
All evidence subject to review;
no hiding behind position.
No man above the law.
Until now.
The king you and your patriots
deposed is back in charge.
I mourn the useless
suffering and death at Valley Forge.
The Robert’s Court
threw you, your men and all of us
under the despotic, greedy bus
of those as wealthy as you
and our Founding Fathers were.
They do not use their power of wealth
as you did…for us.
They use theirs with stealth
to rule with absolute immunity
of positional power.
They destroy our nation hour by hour.
We can no longer question
the acts in which crime’s plans are mentioned.
Such Republicans have wrought
what King George the Third could not;
The destruction of our democracy,
and replaced it with autocracy.
My dearest George.
Our republic will soon be no more.
Please pray for us,
I most sincerely implore.
