The Rules
- Exaggerate as much as you can
- Rhyming scheme optional; any style allowed!
- Must be under 500 words

And that's it! Have fun!

I'm pissed off because people don't seem to care anymore I see people with frowns on their faces no one seems to be happy with the free air that's in their lungs I see men shouting at their women like they own them like they are less then they are I see everyone beeping their horns cutting people off because they are in a hurry do yo think that we all fucking need to be somewhere I hear freedom of speech far to often and the speech is not nice to hear when your out and about,
I feel that the whole world has gone mad I don't even want to watch the news anymore there is always someone doing something against other people cars and trucks hitting people what the fuck has the world come to when you have to kill other people for your own beliefs I say if your religion has got you that worked up that it makes you want to kill people then your god if pretty fucked up.

Needless aggravation

water in a glass
clear as crystal
moving with a gentle sway
as she carries the tray
towards them

smiling at the doily
under a pretty cake
she puts the glass down
but one of them
takes it up, misses
and the glass falls

shatters at her feet
her visions go grey
and she closes her eyes
it is going to be a long day

first day at work
and this shit happens
gonna pay for the glass
there'll be no tip
I got a son to feed


she looks away
wishes she can slap someone
especially the guy
who broke the glass
who is laughing

I hate this job
I hate this existence
most of all I hate this man
who has aggravated my migraine
on my first day at work...


she says
in her mind
and sweeps the broken glass away.

One In A Million

It is SHE who is her own worst enemy
It is SHE who calls to her monsters-dances with her demons...they are there for her when no one else dares
SHE is beautifully out of place-one has to believe that is just the way that SHE wants it...the way SHE intended it to be-like the moon rising full on a hot summer afternoon
HER reality is not wrong-just not the same as ours...
And it is not for the faint of heart
The meek, the mild, the weak
Don't make her scoff-but oh to hear the sound of her laughter?
Simply melodic, sexy, intising,-with just the right amount of(if you listen that is)
The right pitch of pure unadulterated evil!
BAHAHAHA!
The thought alone makes her giggle
For inside HER head? In HER world?
SHE'S a goddesss-perfection personified
Screw the mere mortals, the ordinary, "the basic people"- middle fingers to them all, SHE thinks to HERSELF....
As SHE puts another brick in her wall

[2015] White Noise

      
I scream;              
larynx tearing at the seam              
             
Trying to shout;              
only choked warblings come out              
             
I dream;              
nightmarish world crowding all about              
             
Me?              
Will I wake up?              
Unsettling, doubt        
creeps into this ...              
             
dome              
             
Sad place you call,      
       
Home              
             
where playground grass        
never is growing;        
an artificial turf untouched        
by children in to-ing and fro-ing              
             
Quothing, the Raven sings              
crowing his Edgar Allen Poe-ing              
upon entering the Story Space              
and bursts into flame -             
shrieking              
shriking              
plummeting to the ground---              
charred beak, singed feathers              
landing upon my face                
             
White Noise;              
deadly radius of superficial static              
while locked away in dusty attic:              
vibration unvocalized into words              
             
White Noise;            
spiraling down from the sky              
lame magpied fried---            
scorched scores of dying blackbirds              
             
I fail to scream              
This is where sonnetry goes to die!              
             
Can't shout              
Where lyricality commits suicide!              
             
Trapped inside              
youth crying to be let out              
bloodying their crippled fists              
against rusty hinged attic doors              
             
Through cobwebbed keyholes              
wild eyed blind boys peep              
while the pigeon-toed deaf girls              
weep              
             
White Noise!              
Where the locals can be heard              
discouraging poetry from being              
put forth into word              
broadcast as song              
pretending life is normal              
as if nothing is wrong              
all along            
going about their lives              
chanting         
White Noise        
             
Impenetrable is the sound barrier              
White Noise      
              
Downing any feathered message carrier              
White Noise          
               
Death to each and every dirty bird              
White Noise          
         
Drowning out the ugly truths              
desperate to be seen and heard          
            
White Noise

OMEN

You sit high on your horse listening, sneering, judging-everyting SHE hates
You climb down, chest puffed out
thumping-here am i, here sits he who captured-tamed, restrained SHE who claims NEVER to bow, to break, to bend-be contained
SHE (while you high-five, shuck-and-jive)is beginning to shake, to rock, to quake
SHE is nearing her breaking point boy don't you know?
SHE will smash the very jar in which you have so neatly tucked HER away
Oh my this is the wild child that sets fires to  bridges-while standing, planted firmly in the middle laughing with maniacal glee-dancing with the fire to some unknown, unheard melody playing in HER chaotic, cluttered mind
Back up boy! Give her the room you said she could have to breathe! HER wings are dying the tips wilting
HER horns are growing-HER heart hardening
Are you blind man? Can you not see?
SHE is a horrible, destructive force of nature when pushed too far lad!
SHE always feels shame at the end-the aftermath
But HER fury during  the cataclysmic happening-knows no limits-no bounds
A tsunami is coming!
You better take cover! Quick as lightening you'd better be running

It wasn't you thought
was it
convincing yourself
believing
your wishful thinking
is all you need
to turn my world
into your wants
to take me down
to your childish need
for me
to believe
that your ignorance
with your body
is bliss
as you sit comfortable numb
staring
at the evening soaps
of shallow thoughts
that don't want to know
about the cancer that grows
within your mind
that is slowly
turning you
blind

           MAD
 
 I'm so pissed off right now  
 I could spit bullets  
 Fart fireworks, shit bricks  
 And spew sulfuric acid  
 
 I'm so livid with anger  
 My eyes are bloodshot  
 My pupils are pinholes  
 My breath is rancid  
 
 I'm damn angry right now  
 I'm foaming at the mouth  
 I'm seething with clenched teeth  
 I'm blood thirsty rabid  
 
 I'm so furious  
 That I cannot recall  
 The reason I ever got mad
 At all

The Critic

To hell with the voice, easily finding fault
your words, no volume, from such a mighty horse
I’ll defer your naïve jurisprudence
accepting not your ignorant discourse
 
No tribute do you deserve
weakness, resting upon your throne
while casting doubt on those that fight
hypocrisy not to condone
 
The accolade must be awarded
to those in firm belief and standing proud
assembling for the silenced
vocalising for an oppressed crowd
 
Honours are due without a doubt
to men and women in the trenches
waging all our battles of war
while you pass judgement from your benches
