Solo . . .

Parade performed on solo piano in its complete form.
Version with vocal coming soon.

It’s a parade
A satire for oppression
Provocateur
To oversee dissection
Notoriety; a craving
Never ending ’til it’s quenched
But no sooner than accomplished
Viciously starting all over again

Just what we need
More hatred for a weapon
Follow the lead
Against your own discretion
Try offending this offender
At each opportune moment
Though there’s little chance of succeeding
Save who you can but survivors are few

Sure of your place
Certain of you own infamy
Confident of the position you hold
Should you expand magnanimity to fellow man
Loss of some acolytes
Is a price you suspect
You’re simply not able to pay

Then through it all
In disrepute emerging
You took the fall
Sacramental; a purging
Now the party days are over
You don’t have to check IDs
Hubris took you out with much ease

Parade

No Matter . . .

. . . where they originate
Or their length or their size
Or their breadth
No matter the gravity
Of a thought they convey
Or if there's a lack of such depth

All's fair in this game
(or this passion; this craft)
Any scrap, bit or morsel is good
As in automobiles
Homosapiens too
Reserve judgement
Til you're under the hood

Have a bite of this now
Just in passing; a taste
You may find that it's droll; or enhancing
Nothing serious now
It's not science or skill
At this time, it's a season for dancing

Dancing Season

How . . .

. . . quickly we forget

(from https://medium.com/s/story/in-death-khashoggi-exposes-the-corruption-of-kushner-and-trump-236c85e659aa)

". . . With respect to the (Khashoggi) assassination, Trump and Kushner both have skin in the game. Saudi Arabia was the first state visit Trump made as president, a trip organized and pushed for by Kushner, who is chummy with MbS and has acted as the de facto ambassador to Saudi Arabia. Khashoggi was not banned from Saudi media for his criticisms of MbS, but rather for his criticisms of Donald Trump. More importantly, U.S. intelligence knew of a plan to lure Khashoggi back to arrest him, so the president and the de facto ambassador to Saudi Arabia must have also known. If they knew and did not share the information with Khashoggi, they are liable. Per the Washington Post:Intelligence agencies have a ‘duty to warn’ people who might be kidnapped, seriously injured or killed, according to a directive signed in 2015. The obligation applies regardless of whether the person is a U.S. citizen. Khashoggi was a U.S. resident. . . Why exactly are Trump and Kushner going to the mat for MbS? Is it to advance U.S. interests—or their own? . . . Last October, Jared Kushner paid an unannounced visit to Riyadh, where it’s reported that he stayed up until the wee hours talking “strategy” with the crown prince, apparently his new BFF. He allegedly gave MbS an “enemies list” culled from the classified president’s daily brief, which MbS seems to have used the following month to purge disloyal relatives from government and take their money. Also last October, Kushner’s company received a $57 million loan from Fortress Investment Group, which was recently purchased by SoftFund, a Saudi investment concern, to bail out its troubled property at One Journal Square in Jersey City. (A larger and more widely-reported loan, to bail out the troubled property at 666 Fifth Avenue, came the following summer, via Qatar.). . ."

Dream . . .

. . . on

(from https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinion/trump-s-north-korea-meeting-was-good-photo-op-don-ncna1025841)
". . . Is this enough to really change the tide of history on the Korean Peninsula? . . . Like a CEO trying to close a deal, Trump reached across the table to shake Kim’s hands and looked directly and deeply into his eyes. But Kim did not reciprocate in kind. . . The answer became clearer as the two men sat next to each other, taking questions from the press. Trump talked about how the leaders’ relationship can achieve great things. Like a CEO trying to close a deal, Trump reached across the table to shake Kim’s hands and looked directly and deeply into his eyes. But Kim did not reciprocate in kind, glancing at Trump, but then averting his gaze, looking away, smiling and nodding to the cameras. . ."
