Openly . . .

. . . hostile and antagonistic
Have both become now vogue
Straight from the the top
Word has arrived
Example from a rogue

Although, well-known
They cannot hurt
Compared with stones and sticks
It's now the fashion to demean
Sans mercy; get your licks

With tongue-filled cheek
These verses go
Tho' based in facts so true
I don't propose our lying down
Transcend this trend in lieu

Transcend

Sniveling . . .

Definition: often complaining or crying, in a way that is annoying; a sniveling little kid (not to mention dishonest, self-serving & unprincipled)

(from https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-saudi-arabia-bitch-gabbard-1226783?utm_medium=Social&utm_campaign=NewsweekFacebookSF&utm_source=Facebook&fbclid=IwAR2ksX7CSHwZxzxGnSBRIVXqsyLGB0JvE0TY-pz0oSJy3Zj45SzzAW3wMU8)

". . . "This is about 'America first.' (said Trump while commenting on his unwillingness to accept the CIA's contention that the Saudi royal family was involved in the death of journalist Jamal Khashoggi) They're paying us $400 billion-plus to purchase and invest in our country," Trump said. . . He went on to claim that he has "no business whatsoever with Saudi Arabia." While the president may not own property there, Trump does have a long personal financial history with the Saudi government that equates to tens of millions of dollars. . . Those transactions from the Saudis to Trump include a $20 million 282-foot yacht and a stake in his Plaza Hotel in New York to a billionaire Saudi Prince in 1991, the 45th floor of the Trump World Tower in 2001 for $12 million and a $270,000 payment from a Saudi public relations firm after a trip to Trump’s D.C. hotel. . .

Tough . . .

. . . choices???

. . . the CIA or Trump. . .

(https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/unusual-statement-disputing-cia-filled-exclamation-points-trump-backs-saudi-n938526)
". . . Trump. . . said Tuesday that his administration would stand by Saudi Arabia's rulers and take no actions against them over the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi. . . the extraordinary statement . . . called the "crime" against Khashoggi "terrible" and "one that our country does not condone.". . . But. . . stopped well short of pointing blame at Saudi Arabia — despite NBC News and other reports last week that the CIA concluded that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman ordered Khashoggi's killing — and cast questions over who killed the journalist. . .

Formality . . .

(from For Whom The Bell Tolls by Ernest Hemingway)
[As Pilar, wife of rebel leader Pablo, instructs Agustin on guarding the dynamite to be used in blowing up a bridge]
". . . "where the [insert profanity which Hemingway calls 'un-nameable'] is this vileness that I am to guard?" "In the cave," Pilar said. "In two sacks. And I am tired of thy obscenity." "I [profanity] in the mild of thy tiredness," Agustin said. "Then go and befoul thyself," Pilar said to him without heat. "Thy mother," Agustin replied. "Thou never had one," Pilar told him, the insults having reached the ultimate formalism in Spanish in which the acts are never stated but only implied. . . "

Incongruity . . .

". . . (Trump's claim of) lifetime of success in business, TV and politics “would qualify as not smart, but genius . . . and a very stable genius at that!”. . . ?

(from https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-says-finland-doesnt-have-california-wildfires-problem-because-1220911)
". . . In a press conference Saturday afternoon in Northern California President Donald Trump did not blame climate change for the deadliest wildfire the nation has seen in a century, but said instead that Finland doesn’t have the same problem because “they spend a lot of time on raking” leaves. . ."

Do You . . .

. . . know what you like?

. . . Do you know what you want?
Do you highly value anything at all?
Do you live with other people
In this world of good and bad?
Did you notice that they're
Very much like you?

Do you try to understand
The things that someone else goes through?
Do you make an extra effort just to try?
Do you think that is could simply be
Exactly what we're all supposed to do?

What do you think?
