Winners and Losers - Oh the VP Debate! (Written in My Own Word-Salad at the Request of Poet James Horn)
Winners and Losers - Oh the VP Debate!
(Written in My Own Word-Salad at the Request of
Poet James Horn)
The public in general
had been excited about the race.
the audiences, the followers, the supporters
of all sides;
the left,
and the right,
the blue and the red,
the love and the hate,
the conservatives and the liberals,
and the people in different ethnic groups
(yellow, black, brown, and white).
All had craved for an entertainingly thrilled
debate
They had predicted it
would
be
a war of words,
a devastating tsunami from the sea of saliva,
a chokingly smoky sky on the raging wildfire.
too far away from everyone’s unique prediction,
too high from some risk-takers’ big bet.
Both debaters
somehow
have behaved
in good manners
during the arguments,
as if their minds were in peace.
They took the safe path;
They tiptoed on the middle road;
They walked like the two parallel rail tracks;
They were too cautious not to wildly cross
paths
They made as few direct punches as they could.
How could it be so?
All stimulatingly entertaining factors were
somehow vaporized in thin air.
It was awfully boring,
terribly tedious,
and dreadfully mind-numbing;
(Unlike in the blood sport of cock fighting
that two cocks attack
each other
with sharp metal
spurs,
‘til one bravely dies
right at the scene,
or is critically
injured
or cowardly runs away
out of a cockpit).
The war of words didn’t have much fun
lack any raining punches,
no splattering blood,
no black eyes,
no any swollen lips,
and absolutely no
knockout.
Both fighters have
accomplished their mission impossible,
The
‘mind-your-own-damn-business’ fella
and the
‘childless-cat-lady’ guy
have got out of
the round,
the bout,
the roundabout,
safe
and sound.
Not only would they
have saved face
But also they’ve
polished their image
for
readily-effective-backup for the throne
in case something
goes wrong with the top of either ticket.
Both debaters have become winners
Losers are certainly
all aliens
regardless their
immigration status
whether they came
legally
or illegally.
And it doesn’t matter
They've lived in this
paradise-on-earth most of their life.
They all without
exception
must cope with
kinda
callous
deportation,
if the God-chosen
Hitler would take the top job.
Let's hope for the
better, not worse!

Your Nation
Essentially Depends on Illegitimately Cheap Labor
you’re a rich but greedy
everyone in your home is as lazy as a sloth
(your better-half,
your offspring,
and yourself)
all avoid of doing household chores
you’ve had no choice
but rely on
others
to
wash your greasy dish
clean your filthy toilet
scrub your muddy floor
make your cluttered bed
tidy your messy home
mow your lawn
weed your garden
take care of your backyard
and to do all other odds and ends around your house
you wanna an absolute convenience
to have these tasks
done
twenty-four seven
(you has hired a live-in worker
and offer him an onsite shelter
(the shed in your backyard)
at couple hundred bucks a month
deducted
from his salary
which is much lower
than the minimum wage
he was happy to take your hard currency in cash
anyway,
you've certainly known
no one in your country is too silly to take such a shitty job offer
unless those who don’t have a work permit.
when he took your rotten carrot
you had already known
he must be an alien
who was
desperately
in need of work
for his very basic survival
and that of his family back home.
(those illegal migrants
like he
who are voluntary slaves
serving masters as greedy as you’re)
they absolutely have no legal protection for basic human rights
they’re the easiest target to abuses, exploitations, manipulations
and last but not least, they’re your disposable
scapegoats
for
all problems
you have to cope with
both in your dysfunctional family
and in your gradually deteriorated nation
you've been blaming
them without guilt
for all the troubles
you've dived in at your own faults
and all the messes you’ve made by your own mistakes
however, you can kick them out anytime you’d like
you’ve been injecting hates into the hearts and the minds of each other
you’ve been spreading damn lies against migrants in general
you’ve been yelling like hell
you’ve been shouting aloud
“get the hell out of here
go back home
to where you came from”.
each of you personally can fire
an illegal migrant
and hire a legal one
to serve you at your own home
if you don't mind spending more money
to pay him the minimum wage as required by law
but how would your nation be?
if all of those cheap laborers were deported en masses
who of you,
the locals-born
will work from dawn to dust under glaring sun
to harvest crops
to hand-pick fruits
and to do other manual tasks on your country's vast farmland?
who of you, the patriots are willing to
take
low pay
but hard works
on construction
in the hospitality industry
and all other sectors of your country’s economy?

The Tales of Two
Extremists
In her short history,
there were only
two
vicious
attacks on the land
of her superpower nation.
Both shocking acts
of
terrorism
were covertly planned
and swiftly executed out of the blue.
The first attack was committed by an outsider
(he was a militant extremist,
an Islamist dissident,
a warlord
in the Afghan jihad
against the occupation of the Soviet Union.)
In the swift response to the sudden attack
on his indestructible fortress,
Uncle Sam had sent
his almighty army to
a worldwide
war
against
terrorism.
Also, a global man-hunt
had been instantly launched.
(a “Wanted Dead or Alive” was posted
to attract the attention of international bounty hunters).
On-the-run,
nonstop,
no place to run,
nowhere to hide,
the terrorist was spotted
at the corner of a remote area.
his compound was raided at night
he was shot dead in a quick gunfight,
(it ended his fate,
and the ending of his tale).
The terrorist had been too silly to pick his wrong enemy.
No country could dare challenge Uncle Sam
regardless how powerful its army would be.The second shameful
attack
on the capital of this nation
was skillfully schematized
secretly done
by
the extremist within.
The emperor had been
stripped
off
fully naked
by his people.
Instead of making a formal concession
as required
by legal and habitual etiquette
he had blatantly refused a handover of power
since, he had excitingly expected
and astoundingly awaited
outcomes
of his carefully planned coup d'état.
(In response to his call
the far-right mobs
and diehard worshipers
o' his political cult
of populism
had violently stormed the Capitol.
They chanted
“Hang Mike Pence!”
”Hang Mike Pence!”
”Hang Mike Pence!”
Pence was his right-hand man,
his second commander,
a man of principal,
a god-believer,
a loyalist to the constitution.
Pence had decided to
be faithful of his nation
And not to
follow the commander-in-chief
at any cost.
Pence hence had
decided
not
to go against the will of the people.
He had refused to
obey his boss’ illegitimately ruthless command .
And Uncle Sam has
magically
had his democracy
remain fully
intact.
Unlike the manhunt worldwide
that had terminated
the awful
fate
of the terrorist outside,
the legal hunts to the inner extremist
(federally-wide
and in various states)
have ineffectively gone wild.
The naked emperor,
the wannabe dictator,
the political
predator,
and the
self-proclaimed victim of' witch-hunts,
has been on his
joyful merry-go-round.
his trip is little
bumpy
yet he has been
still
safe and sound,
since has been legally surrounded by best attorneys
and physically
well-protected by the Secret Service.
He is the top contender of one of the two tickets
in the neck-to-neck
political
horse
race.
he has assured his
worshipers in various occasions
this is the last
time,
no need to vote again
He’ll fix the broken
system.
If he is lucky enough to retrieve his throne
It’ll be doomsday of
democracy
Your nation might
become another North Korea.
Wait and see.
And you’ll know the
rest of the story.

The Massacre and the
Genocide in the World of Bigotry
Hamas and other militant groups launched a deadly assault on
various civilian areas inside Israel October last year.
Their sudden attack on
the Nova Music Festival
in the Negev Desert
utterly shocked
the world.
The joyful fiesta became the killing field.
The armed radicals indiscriminately fired machine guns at point-blank range
They shot at the frightful crowds nonstop
the people in panic
in their cars
on the run away from chaotic areas
They blasted anti-tank weapons at those who tried to flee on foot.
Hamas’ waves of attacks led to
at least twelve hundred victims slaughtered,
over fifty-four hundred injured,
and another two hundred fifty people kidnaped
and taken back
into Palestine's homeland.
Hamas and other Palestine’s armed groups were accused of
committing war crimes
and horrific acts
of
rapes,
dreadful tortures,
cold-heartedly treatments
and degrading inhuman conducts.
Many countries had publicly condemned the attacks
They had passionately expressed solidarity for Israel
and judiciously stated
that “Israel has a right to defend itself”.
Israel took the virtuous flag
and waved the banner high
on its troublesome sky
of justifying
its endless war of self-defense
and its mission impossible to rescue hostages.
Over one, during Israel’s non-stop war of self-defense
Its powerful army has raked every inch of Gaza Strip.
(the tiny piece of land
about a one quarter of London
and twice the size of Washington D.C.)
Israel’s relentless assaults
by airplanes,
missiles,
drones
and artilleries
from air, land and sea
have turned the lively place
into
a living hell.
most civilian infrastructure has destroyed
Shopping malls, homes, buildings, schools, hospitals, etc. have collapsed.
Israel’s ruthless troops have killed about forty-thousand Palestinians so far,
(most of innocent victims are women and children)
Over hundred thousand people have yet been found
They’re considered
either missing
or buried under rubble of collapsed buildings.
Israel’s war of self-defense against Hamas and other militant groups has forced
about two point twenty-three million Palestinians to be internally displaced
They’re either becoming refugees within their birthplace.
or being desperate asylum seekers to Jordan, Lebanon and Syria.
(With its military’s great excuse
of weeding
out
Hamas’s fighters)
Israel’s army has rubbed more salt to the wounds,
by imposing many so-called evacuation orders
which have constantly pushed Palestinians around
from one location to another
no safe place to hide
no way out
like frightened ants inside a frying pan or a scorching stove.
Israel has tightly sealed Gaza
It has gravely threatened the survival of Palestinians
Its military full blockade has made all humanitarian-aids
be nearly impossible
to reach desperate hands
of those civilians dying in their own homeland.
Israel’s wartime tactics has created
severe shortages of
medicines,
water,
food,
groceries,
and other necessities.
Power outage is another burden to living activities
Since electricity supply to Gaza has also been cut off.
Israel’s so-called war of self-defense has gone wild,
Its apartheid policies have fallen into the deaf ears
of those of you
who live
in
the West
particularly American in the United States
You had strongly condemned the attacks by Hamas and other militant groups
You also righteously declared
the massacre of twelve hundred innocent victims
their takeaway home of two hundred fifty hostages
as the act of terrorism.
How could you rationalize Israel’s war on Palestine civilians?
How could have you NOT condemned
Israel’s mass-killings
as war crimes?
How would I not be called it a genocide?
Regardless political pressures from the international community
the governing regime in Israel
has stubbornly
refused
various proposals
for a permanent ceasefire.
Alas, the United States has
kept throwing her unconditional support to the war
She has supplied Israel with her sophisticated weaponry
and her military equipment.
Recently her warships have been sent into the Eastern Mediterranean.
Don’t let the ethnic cleansing go free in front of our naked eyes
Lest we forget!

The Never-Never Land
of Poetry & Your Choice of Words.
you have something to say
say it all
don’t
hold back
‘tis your freedom of expression
‘tis your wonderland on silver moon
‘tis your never-never land on milky way
o’ your marvelously creative imagination.
flap your extravagant wings
soar as high as you could
fly as far as you would
no hurdle
no obstacle
nor whatsoever
‘til your daydreams are fallen off
crashed and shattered on planet earth.
you find yourself on a narrow trail
the soggy ground
full of bobby traps.
you’re tiptoeing on an unknown path
it’s risky,
dicey,
perilous,
dangerous,
hazardous
precarious,
treacherous,
your heart is icy
your mind’s getting numb
your feet are getting cold
you’d never know for sure
where-on-earth the lethal path will lead you to?
would
it
be
a dark grave?
a bottomless abyss?
or the world of absolute silence?
your mind is clogged up with cluttered thoughts
not much oxygen left in your congested chest
you’re about to be passed out
you’re limping on the road to nowhere
but the game hasn’t been over
you ain’t totally dead
you wanna prevent the power-outage
you’d like to recharge your inner battery
back to the realm of poetry from your nearly dead experience,
you’d better walk on a thin line on your tippy toes
your choice of words must be a lot
more
cautious
and anxious.
the fate of you and that of the poetry is dangling on a thin thread
in the minefield of words,
hold your breath tight.
each line you write;
each verse you pen;
each stanza you mark;
every poem you compose.
it must meet the creative norms
of the so-called contemporary fine art
you'd better share with those artists and poets
only what they'd love to hear.
otherwise don’t expose what you freely write
from your wild imagination
to anyone else.
keep it to you for yourself
or burn it in your scorching wood-stove
to keep you warm on those chilly nights.

neither watched
nor listened

Breitbart News,
NewsMax,
WorldNetDaily, Rhino Times, and so on…
also, they haven’t followed Trump’s
immeasurable
posts
through his endlessly
sleepless-nights
on the Truth Social
(a version of Soviet’s Pravda).
it’s likely they’ve
never swallowed
any sweet drops
of Trump’s so-called
weave of words

mind-numbing campaign rallies and interviews.

all MAGA-Vietnamese?
those old Viet chaps
are
extremely
fluent

tongue.
they’ve stalwartly
supported
their God’s chosen
Trump
‘til
their

in the vast land of
great America.
anyway, they’ve
proudly believed in Trump’s ability
to somewhat magically
help them
achieve
their pipe dream
of exterminating
socialism, communism, Marxism, and whatsoever else.
all American citizens,
(from
superstars in the
spotlights
to homeless guys on
side streets)
those who apparently
go against the MAGA boss Donald Trump,
and do not support his
“Make America Great Again” crusade
must
be
socialists,
Marxists,
and communists.
they are
politicallyTrump’s enemies within.
eighty-two American Nobel Prize winners
and all other
dissidents
no matter
they’re on the left
or the right
they’re white, black,
brown or yellow
if any of them
dare
ignore
Trump’s urgent
needs of strong
support.
they must be scared
to death
as Trump has harshly
threatened
if he’d be crowned
again,
he’ll drive
their peaceful lives
to Satan's suffering
hell without trials.

On Diverse Food Cultures
(Eating Dogs, Eating Cats v. Eating Pigs and
Eating Cows)
don’t eat dogs.
You also don’t eat cats.
Since, you raise these two domesticated animals
as your exquisite pets for your best
companionship.
Your pets offer you endless emotional support.
whenever your life is in a mess;
your days are in darkness;
They lift you out of the blue.
They ease your lonesomeness.
those truly want to back you up
and know how to put your feet firmly on the
shaky ground.
They’re the ones you love and you often meet or
the ones you scarcely know.
Those include your spouses,
your partners,
your lovers,
your parents,
your siblings,
your relatives,
your friends,
your neighbors
and strangers at any
places.
Dogs and cats are
unconditionally faithful to you
without creating any
slight headache.
They make your bad
day good
and your good day
will be much better.
They never ask anything
in return.
They take everything
from you in outright silence,
without any questions
with no protests,
no grievances,
no complaints,
no criticisms,
no demands,
no blames,
no hassles,
and especially no
bullshit or whatsoever
that would make you
feel uncomfortable.
They delightfully
take both your joys and your foolishness.
Dog and cats are the
partners to
be easily associated
with,
or effortlessly live
with,
in peace and harmony,
during the course of
their short lifespan.
You have all damn
good reasons to be mad like hell,
whenever you hear
about any horribly sad news
related to senseless
deaths of dogs and cats.
You believe it or
not;
Nowadays,
People in many countries
are still eating dogs.

and roughly twenty
million in China.
Dogs are also
butchered for food in certain African countries
such as Ghana,
Cameroon, Congo, and Nigeria.
Farmers in remote
parts of Switzerland still love eating dog meat.
Most dogs for meat
selling on the market
in various parts of
Asia,
are raised
at a small-scale in
countless back-yards of private homes,
but mainly on
large-scale in professionally organized dog farms.
South Korea is
notorious for her seventeen thousand dog farms.
Eighty million dogs
or so could be stolen dogs
and illegally
exported every year
from Thailand,
Laos and Cambodia.
in response to their desperate needs of extra
attraction to tourism
for their critical thirst of,
their severe hungry for,
Euros
and Dollars.
They optimistically expect tidal waves
from an immense sea of hard currency
rolling out of generous foreigners’ thick
pockets.
but instantaneously force their
nations
to alter their
traditional food culture.
This knee-jerk
reaction has devastated impact on the local hospitality industry
It has pushed all
specialized-dog-meat restaurants to shut down for good.
It has driven food
service workers and self-employed people out of work.
Millions of dollars
of the dog trade have been flushed to the toilet.
Dog-meat lovers
illicitly butcher dogs and cook at homes
or they must find any
underground food carts
selling outlandish
dog-dishes
on empty streets
or inside dark
alleys.
(Money is a magic
wand.
Hard currency from
the West
has
efficiently crushed
the most popular food
culture
of eating dogs ‘n and
eating cats in various parts of Asia.
By the way, whether,
you worship money or disgust it;
You can’t deny the
fact
that money can be
used to buy any almighty Divinity
or be donated to
churches for full payment of a nice mansion in God's Heaven.)
And if you are meat
eaters
You’re eating pigs
You’re eating cows,
oxen, bulls, bullocks, steers, heifers, and calves
Livestock and cattle
are farmed for meat on your kitchen tables.
According to various
studies, pigs are smarter than dogs.
Pigs are more
trainable than any breed of dogs.
Their intelligence is
equal to those of the three-year-old children
Pigs are ranked as
the fifth most intelligent animal in the world.
It’s sardonic that
you cold-heartedly enjoy
the ridiculous
deaths
of one and a half
billion PIGS annually
Isn’t it your food
culture
a genocide
of pigs?
What the hell on
earth you culturally believe
eating dogs
is
inhuman
and this must be
outlawed?
Also, you
disgustingly look down on dog eaters.
of nearly three
million COWS
those provide
milk
to
your kids,
your family,
your whole countries,
and other human
beings on earth
How do you feel when
you kill cows for meat?
Do you know?
Cows often panic and
suffer in the most heartbreaking way,
when they see other
cows lying slaughtered on the floor.
They apparently
recognize what is about to happen.
Their fear literally
is a mortal agony.
And they
really do realize this.
for pork and beef
is
humanely kind
and compassionately
fine.
You demand your food
culture
must
be
legally sanctioned
and morally
appreciated.
Is your society
sophisticatedly civilized by any means?
Oppositely, the food
culture of eating dogs and eating cats
is ethically wrong
that must be
officially banned;
since it’s
unscrupulous cuisines in other brutalized nations.
You eagerly accept
slaughtering cows and pigs for meat,
while you harshly
condemn butchering dogs or cats for food.
What’s the difference
in the killings?
We –human beings are
the product of our own culture.
For the sake of
mutual peace and harmony
Let Us not start any
war of words
Since it might lead
to an ever-ending culture war
You keep your food
consuming tradition
They retain their own
eating habits
And I personally take
care of mine.
It makes all of us
happy to respectfully live together.
Whether
You eat pigs and eat
cows;
They eat dog and eat
cats;
I eat meat from other
animals.
Regretfully,
We,
meat eaters
have generated
endless deaths
anguishes,
sufferings,
pains,
and grief,
to all other living
beings
And tis the only way
to save the endless deaths of all other living beings.

The Law of Man and
the Law of Jungle
Man makes laws for his own safety
and for his orderly society.
It doesn’t matter wherever he lives
in the bush,
in a rural village,
in a big city,
in a house,
on a street,
or any other places.
Regardless
of
his social status,
his country of birth,
his education level,
his family background…
And whether he’s strong or weak;
he’s small or big;
he’s short or tall;
he’s poor or rich;
he’s white, black, yellow, red, or brown.
Every human being is required to abide by the law of man.
everybody is expected to socially behave
in a certain manner
collectively
agreed.
in return, all humans are supposed to be equally treated
The man-made law protects all law-abiders.
It punishes all law-violators
exactly
the same way
without any prejudice.
Love it or hate it;
believe it or reject it;
man has no other choice,
but to comply with his own rules of the living game.
Otherwise, he will be crushed by his self-made legal system.
While the man-made law sounds fairly impartial and logically civilized on
paper;
it leaves many loopholes
to be easily exploited
by
scam artists,
legal experts,
political elites,
governing distators,
criminal godfathers,
underground gangster bosses...
In practice, the law of man is crueler than the law of the jungle.
In the wild, animals fight for their
very
basic survival needs,
mainly for food and territories.
In his so-called civilized society,
man always fight
NOT
for his own living
BUT for what he
is
not really
in need
of.
Man is often at war with each other,
he usually kills his own people and other species
purely for fame, power, authority, profits, and glory.
Wouldn’t human have more peace to live with the law of the jungle
and to throw away his self-made law
in a trash
bin?

GOD BLESS YOU
(Song Lyrics)
ho, ho, ho
oh man
welcome here
what a luxurious lifestyle
from your first day on earth
you were born with a silver spoon in your mouth
no need to lift your fingers for anythin’
you take things for granted
uh, uh, uh
no, no, no
you would never know
how poor people could meet their survival needs
you don’t believe
day after day
from dawn to dusk
lower-class works hard for very basic livings
most live from hand to mouth
selling their manual or intellectual labors
to capitalists like you on the free market for a wage.
oh my god
hey, hey, hey
your free-will exploitation
so heartless
so merciless
so pitiless
so cruel
anyway it’s somebody’s weakness
someone else’s problems
no hesitation to take advantage of
why pay any damn care?
you certainly don’t
and never will
oh, oh, oh
yes, yes, yes
you take, take, take
take it all
nonstop
all what you want
not what you really need
who the hell of mankind
dun wanna take it
you name it all
money, power, glory, fame..
oh, oh, oh
no, no, no
you don’t even miss a cent
from everybody’s pockets
how much is enough?
never enough
ever satisfactory
addiction becomes your disease,
your malady,
the syndrome of your mental disorder
eh, eh, eh,
hey, hey, hey
yay, yay, yay,
old man
you’ve never been handling a manual job
you’ve played golf nearly full time
you eat too much junk-food
you drink too much coke
you look like five month pregnant
your fat belly is saggy the knee
you think you’re handsome
much better than her look
you think you’re smart
you know everything from a to z
you say
she’s dumb
she a hoax
oh, oh, oh
no, no, no
nah, nah, nah
ah, ah, ah man!
how it would happen
you could not believe
the silver spoon in your mouth is about to be taken away
how the hell she worked at McDonald in the past
now she’s competing with you for the throne.
the game will be over soon
the finish line is near
ease your fear
of being left far behind
keep blaming the socialists, the communists,
and all of whoever in the whole world
for their fault of driving you nut
to endlessly sleepless nights
in panic, terror, distress, anxiety
oh my god
if you win you’ll force them for paybacks at full price
if you lose
no big deal
you’ll harvest what you’ve sowed
no one is above the laws
god bless you
old man
ah men
amen!
