Paradigm Lost
It didn't take long after the uncorking
of boundless Art'esian aquifer
to fork off in a new streaming
---Literature's flood into Cyber Space
warped into a Dating App
within a fortnite---
an Adult Playground
where "anything goes"
sexual fantasies are shared
under guises of "creative license"
and "Freedom of Speech"
which didn't occur when
our backs were turned
Instead, it happened
when we turned our backs on ...

I Am Not My Body
You cannot say
I am a gender!
I possess
the gender
that serves me
You cannot say
what race I am
I saw the stars
sing together
when the world was made
and I know
you were there
...so DON’T
measure me
by the skin
I didn’t start with
I am a gender!
I possess
the gender
that serves me
You cannot say
what race I am
I saw the stars
sing together
when the world was made
and I know
you were there
...so DON’T
measure me
by the skin
I didn’t start with

Clink Floyd
Pinned beneath the knee of corrupt authority...
The majority of us can no longer breathe...
Please sir please!!...
You better fucking believe we've had enough..!
Your handcuffs and batons that beat innocence to death...
We the people will rest a knee on your necks...
Your guns and your vests...
Lest you forget were trusted to protect...
Your protection is needed no longer...
Your infection has made The People stronger...
This is a protest of morals...
Try and get your knee to the throat of 350 million men an women...
Who...
The majority of us can no longer breathe...
Please sir please!!...
You better fucking believe we've had enough..!
Your handcuffs and batons that beat innocence to death...
We the people will rest a knee on your necks...
Your guns and your vests...
Lest you forget were trusted to protect...
Your protection is needed no longer...
Your infection has made The People stronger...
This is a protest of morals...
Try and get your knee to the throat of 350 million men an women...
Who...

Supremely Annoyed - A Cause That Didn’t Age Well
RBG is dead!
No not RGB -
you can still
see in full color
And full color
Joe Biden
looked slightly
more alive
in 2016
arguing for
respect for
America
and swift filling
of the ninth seat
of the Supreme Court

No, Oppression Role-Reversal ISN’T Cute
Jimmy Kimmel
was like a
trained monkey
for the 2020 Emmys
It’s happened
throughout history
Abdication
of self-respect
freedom of thought
and expression
lethal white guilt
is a real thing
You cannot
escape it
unless you
outright reject it

Crackdown
Trump lies
Says things that aren't true
His base cries
"We won't wear masks for you"
Fox lies
Cause that's just what they do
And Barr says...
Crack down
On Democratic Mayors
Crack down
On black men thinking they are free
Crack down
On our right to protest
Cracked down
Till freedom can't breathe
Crack down
On science and global warming
Crack down
On our right to vote
Crack down
Put women in their places
Crack down
Keep those immigrants on their boats ...

Populace Purple Party Platform Principles
First
that all
atonement
shall be made
for reserving
meritocracy
for only
mere white males
Second
that God
who moves
from party
to party
wherever
righteousness
is enacted
and wrongs are
corrected
shall not be
unduly infringed
in gatherings
business
charity
in honest reporting
Third
that bullies
are recognized
as weaker
and more vulnerable
than the elders
they abuse ...

Charlatans
(Radix malorum est cupiditas)
For the love of money…
Men have sold their souls
Men have told lies to reach their goals
For riches and fame
To cheat at the game
Men fight to have
More money
More power
And with it,
More control
But what’s even more appalling
Is that some will say they have a calling
From the Almighty…
(Dollar)
And they will holler
From the pulpit saying the most high
Has commanded they live with wealth
See the gospel of prosperity is a pyramid scheme ...

The Rotten Shop
The pears are rotten
The bananas are dead
The apples are wormy
The strawberries mush
rotten mangos
rotten apples
rotten pairs
even the tinned fruit has perished
The tobacco is dry
The beer is yeast
The wine is vinegar
The milk is yogurt
And the fucking mangos are rotten
The bananas are dead
The apples are wormy
The strawberries mush
rotten mangos
rotten apples
rotten pairs
even the tinned fruit has perished
The tobacco is dry
The beer is yeast
The wine is vinegar
The milk is yogurt
And the fucking mangos are rotten

Touche'
stop
please go away
I don't care
what you
have to say
I never wanted
to be a part of
your world of cliches
where mediocrity
is hard at play
it isn't what
it isn't is
don't we hate
the whatever'sssss spin
I escaped the trap
you tried to lure me into
you play a twisted game
you're so lame
you can call me fake
but that's not real
you think you
are such a great big deal
you aren't nothing
but a shell of a man
you know it's true
I trouble you
so in...
