Hopes And Prayers

As the 45th President of the United States,
presents himself as presidential candidate yet again,
amid ever mounting debts that have gone unpaid
and being on trial on close to 100 counts
over five main charges across several states, 
how cynical would it be to send him 'hopes and prayers'
in the midst of his present troubles with the legal system?

Jesus told his followers that they should not
repay evil with evil, but repay evil with good,
and love their enemies, the less to be affected
by the opportunism of the enmity against them.

But with some cynics, pedants,
and self appointed experts in the law
good will is always too good for them...

  

How To Deal With Cold Callers

When they ask who you are,
which they always do to claim your attention,
quietly tell them 'I'd like to to talk to you
but there isn't a phone in the house'.
Then quietly put the phone down.
You will have ended the call calmly,
and faster than it takes them to realise
the illigocality of your answer.
