Kill All Cats
It's still bugging me
Bloody cat food
Should I direct my anger
At cat food
Why not?
My food contains
Processed – May contain – Warning
My cat's food
“Biologically Appropriate Nutrients”
“Specially Selected”
“All Natural”
Bloody cats!

“Limerick of the Last Trumpet”
Discontented Donkeys bellow and “nay”;
Bickering and bitching among the corrupt & clean.
A convoluted creation provoking dismay;
The Great Experiment or The Broken Machine?

Lexicon of Love
The word LOVE
Should be removed from all dictionaries.
It's the only word I know that's beyond definition.
No other words can describe it.
Don't even try.

Your Just. A Number
Most of Them
Look upon Us
As Like
Psychological doctors
Pillable and filed
Numbers on a Voting board
Just another Utility
For their Means

MAGA-pedo
A Neo-Confederate faction
in an underage sex action
gave future jobs no hoot
on how to prosecute...
statutory dissatisfaction.

A Hefty Fee
Reality always strikes between the eyes
Leaving it’s mark on the human psyche
Madness will cut everyone down to size
Life’s taxed even death costs a hefty fee

storms never last
what walls
can
oppression,
intolerance
build
uninterrupted,
those willing
to sell
their values,
boundaries
set by
the minds
of ignorance,
but, there
are some
that can
see scenes
further away,
strength
in their
convictions,
one voice
can begin
to change
many, and
then change
can happen.

Sanity
We spend our whole adult life
Distracting ourselves from losing our
Sanity
Some are just better at it than others
Some of us just give in
Lyrically Inclined
Distracting ourselves from losing our
Sanity
Some are just better at it than others
Some of us just give in
