United We Stand

Common enemies
for the left and right

want us to die
and make us fight

But even if we can’t
agree on anything

We still both have
a common enemy

Do not forget
carpetbaggers
are not here to save us

Like divorce lawyers
for a marriage

who want us to
use them to fight

until they drain us
of every delight

Look in the Mirror What Do I See?

Hear him scream freedom is my right  
He is arrogant, selfish  a bit contrite.
  Will he agree  
not ever, he will lie, or cry    
Before any chest bump,    
or a five that goes high   
   
He comes with personal jabs  
 and a right to the jaw   
Perpetual insults spill from his  maw   
 He Joins me for more,  then says,  
"I don't care"  
Three against one , or even a pair   
  Offenses are given then  taken
 three and four  
So innocently creating a virtual  war   
   
Somethings  familiar  I can't resist   
will he back down  who will persist   
  Something exists  deep down  
Inside resembling you resembling me  
A rebound reflection it's yours   
Now I see   
   
Too late, I've  lost interest  
in this brother we share   
You know him as Pete, repeat
i admit,  do you dare ?  
  We are one in the same, these
 things  that we do   
This place is beginning  to feel  
 like a s zoo

Trampled Freedom (NoPoo 73)

The word    
Is freedom  
We hear it    
All the time    
But it dont mean    
A whole lot    
While being trampled    
By the mob    
   
Souls of patriots    
Tainted    
By the right to demonstrate    
The resurrection    
Of histories inserrection    
Its not communism    
Taking over    
Just gun toting facists    
   
Demoracy    
Is just a declaration    
On an old parchment    
Twitter feeds    
Are the modern day    
Constitutional truths    
Fuelling gangs    
Of conspiracy theorists    
   
Steeped in gun law    
Taking out of context    
Lawful amendments    
To incite    
The right againt left    
Bleeding on the flag    
No longer stands    
For something

you are a trawler in the green gold blue black
sea i love.
you are a trawler calling herself the ark of the covenant
outfitted absurdly for war.
the white dove you send flying
wants to sleep in the sand.
and your lines hang with rotten meat.
you will catch no good fish today.

Haiku for Thought    


Jesus will return
and bring his lawyer with him;
you can bet on that.

Geez

The western world is on hands and knees
Now world belongs to birds and bees
The lovely flowers and the trees
The mountains and the seas
The earth and the breeze
A respiratory disease
And the Chinese

Note To Self

I have finally figured it out
And know what it's all about
It's a shocking realization
Do you read in anticipation?
I find that rather funny actually
You are not really here factually
When for all is done and all said
You are neither alive nor dead
And I am neither here nor there
There is no here or everywhere
I made it all up on a boring day
It is true man is made out of clay
I am actually writing to myself
There is factually nothing else
I don't care if lines don't rhyme
For I created space and time
You are here for my education
You are only in my imagination
I can do anything I want in here
Beat up a cop or steal a beer
There are no cops there is no jail
Anyway I would get out on bail
I am your God I am your creator
It's merely a show it's just theater
But if it makes you feel any better
I wrote myself a very long letter
You were in it I mentioned you
Wrote of things for you to do
I had fun while making an ostrich
Woman however was a real bitch
Men are simple they are easy to do
Give them sex and feed them stew
So you see this is not even a dream
You must have heat to create steam
Sorry I must break to you this notion
I thank you for service and devotion
Dearest reader you do not exist
You will be missed

In Spite of Wrongs


For right or wrong the muse has gone
—Or rather, seldom visits
Should I hold on in spite of wrongs?
My patience has its limits

I’m still bereft from friends who’ve left
And never said goodbye
I’m still upset and won’t forget
Perhaps I, too, shall fly

Treason

So what’s with all this hoopla    
this unmitigated gall        
fascist racists storm    
Capitol Hill halls        
       
The orange face man they call Trump        
absconded behind bulletproof glass,        
Vice President Pence pulls down his pants          
so Trump can fuck him in his ungreased ass        
       
Cops stood by aiding and abetting        
while a lunatic runs free on the loose,        
He should be tarred then shot at sunrise        
then hung by a slingshot noose !

Makers of Lies Hate Truth

Makers of lies hate truth, but I shall speak the truth even if it costs me my life.  
Something is fundamentally wrong with the minds of world leaders.  
Presidents, prime ministers, kings and queens, all politicians think alike.  
They do not regard the people in worn-out clothes as their equals.  
In fact, they do not even accept these persons as real men and women.  
The lives of all human beings doubtlessly have the same worth.  
Race, nationality, economic status, rank or religion, makes no difference at all.  
   
The senseless warmongers neither appreciate nor value truth and right.  
And they squander taxpayers’ money on the study of supremacy and aggression.  
They cannot love one another because they do not know the Creator of life.  
The leaders of countries are public servants; they are not gods and goddesses.  
Greedy political candidates instigate bloodshed to win seats in the whorehouses.  
People with integrity certainly do not get involved in the nastiness of politics.  
   
Radicalism is not terrorism; sly politicians like to invent definitions for words.  
Simply put, radicalism is the aim at fundamental change in the structure of society.  
Terrorism is the employment and incitation of terror to drive fear in others,  
And in their book of rules, this definition matches the armed forces of the states.  
Rich, bourgeoisie and poor, everybody has the right to freedom of expression.  
Spokespersons for the governments falsely accuse people of terrorism and extremism.  
They regard anybody who disagrees with their delusion as a terrorist and an extremist.  
   
I have a few thought-provoking questions for the leaders and the so-called intellectuals:  
Is it true or false that the states are the biggest terrorist organizations in the world?  
Who has the nuclear capability to cause worldwide death and mass destruction?  
Do you think it is the one who resists oppression or the one who oppresses others?  
The mother of terrorism is in fact the notorious self-styled world power,  
Yet so many misguided people scurry to that modern-day Sodom and Gomorrah.  
Some people have turned their backs on good morals to achieve dishonest financial gains.  
   
The power-hungry Lamblike Beast and its hypocritical allies are under the control of Satan,  
But none of them is able to see it because they are afraid to look in the mirror.  
They have blind minds, and they murder innocent people to cover up their evil deeds.  
The wicked conspirators are buried deep in fright, lunacy, and confusion.  
If you ask them who the real enemy is, they will give you a nonsensical answer.  
They do not have a clue that their pride, ignorance, and hatred are their worst enemies.  
   
Injustice, intimidation, corruption, and preconception reign in their legislative bodies.  
What they call the best system of law and justice is actually dungy toilet tissue.  
In plain language, the law and justice of mankind is full of human excrement and urine.  
They run for their lives and seek a hiding place when there is no pursuer.  
Every day they improve the technology of weapons and the strategy of war because of fear.  
How long will the evil, satanic authorities go on building an imaginary foe?  
The foul scent of their disgusting filth and pollution is suffocating them to death.  
   
Preachers, teachers, and dignitaries give such eloquent talks on the podiums.  
I for one do not take a single word they say seriously, and I do not respect any of them.  
All of them have the same rotten intention, and that is to mislead poor people.  
Lies and deception issue from their tongues like slime dripping from the sewer.  
They have built systems to institutionalize deprivation and bad-mindedness.  
We are a futureless civilization because of the rubbish they teach our children.  
The size of the bags they carry to school is the equivalent of a donkey’s hamper.  
   
They publish the propaganda theory that higher education is the key to success,  
But their many possessions and achievements are not the result of their hard work.  
They have achieved wealth and fame by means of exploitation and plunder.  
The dishonest leaders take credit for the creativity and production of our hands.  
They swindle us out of our meagre earnings and give us a non-prosperous life.  
I conclude that they are up to no good, and their leadership is a colossal failure.

I love all this poetry. Two of our talents did not use the competition format. You all can do what you like, ...but we need to have our poems in the “box-thingy,” don’t we? I’m not an expert, but I thought we needed those.

Either way, wow. Thank you! Everybody. 😎👍

Blasphemy

The broad way is the wayward way..            
You must be so **** stupid to possibly think I wouldn't be riding on the road my way..              
              
Wayward way..              
The road to perdition?..              
             
Remind me what they said about temptation.. does it grab your attention?..              
The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak..              
             
First of all, they do not come from God, although He does allow              
them.              
“For God cannot be tempted by evil, and He Himself does not tempt anyone.              
       
     
Who eat from the Garden of Eden?..              
Who was first led astray by the demon?..            
           
There's this verse that reads;              
Woe! To every backbiter, slanderer..          
   
     
It was amazing what living through nightmares will do to people..              
             
I don't know about you, but every fucking person I ever know back bites..              
Every norms and ethics condemn the act of lying yet every **** person lies..              
Fathers, mothers, teachers, men, women, children, rich and poor, scholars and seekers, vagrants, tennants and landlords.. every ***** body lies..              
           
Lying is an indispensable part of keeping our day-to-day lives running smoothly.. they said..            
***** act like one..              
             
            
Tell me how morally and socially unaceptable, it is for me *** this ****..              
Tell me that I'm not complex enough at a point in time to disobey the commands of my Lord..              
You sure know I'm not an Apostle and I don't own a fucking castle..  
 
My mind is racing on the last and the final track against me..              
And I don't like this marathon..              
We got killers..              
We got rapists..              
We got pedophiles..              
We got necrophiles..              
We got this we got that and we got ME!..              
I do what I do l'm not an exception..         I'm only a human trying to live on a daily basis..              
             
I demand the right to live..              
I demand the right to smoke..              
I demand the right to write..              
I demand the right to feel..              
I demand the right to think..              
I demand the right to fuck..    
         
             
All of us fuckers lie..              
All of us fuckers gonna die..              
Equation balanced!

Suspense

Waking up daily with the suspense..
About how to commence..
Now fuck the sixth sense..
Putting everything in past tense..
 
An open street..
My back on this wall of brick..
Without a trick..
This razor blade is all I pick..
 
You feel like..  
Open me fire..
I wore my attire..
This is the hour of honor..
 
Cut the crap..
Set the trap..
Cut me loose..
For been the source of your fever..
 
Not sorry being the weak link of this chain..
Uplift the crane..
Pull the lever..
Dump me in the river..
 
Unaware of my inner and outer margins of attention..
Zero tension..
No remorse..
Controlling me remote..
 
I am not a saint..
Dead tell nor story..
This is the war for glory..
Need to withstand this thriller..
 
They couldn't auctioned me off..
I failed to sell off..
Who can bail?..
God is the highest bidder..
 
I don't mind this assholes..
Bleeding from their sore holes..
Insane enough..
God is my only healer..

TWO IMBECILES

we are imbeciles, love,
and i would admit as much
but you would not
 
and you would say
i spoke from weakness
and i would say
it's just the truth
 
and i'd be right
