Poet Introduction
Bow down before me and tremble, Puny Humans.
[ Politics & Religion ] Darkness Reigns
Guillotine, macabre eating machine
chomping off another pissant peasant head
Irrelevant bloodlines spilled
Baskets overflow with the killed
filled with dripping poetic verse---
recitals of disembodied dead
Non-compliance, defiance
of decrees by the Throne
swallowed whole by shadow, dying alone
Waterboarded with one's own hot breath
while listening to the ass-inine excuses
for being put to death
And the reign of darkness continues
Black hoods custom fit,...

[ On Poetry ] Where Has All The Poetry Gone?
Come the dawn
felt the absence
In its place?
Incoherent rants
not making any sense
Playing with words
wormed and ugly turned
in-your-face bloodsported
Dictionaries and thesauruses
be damned, piled and burned
consumed in causes purported
to be noble
swallowed by the all too trusting
to the downright gullible
Where has all the poetry gone?
Seems lost in a fifteen minute
blaze of notoriety and glory

[ Politics & Religion ] Following Orders
Such a good Boy Scout
Another patch to earn
Standing by devout
watching heaps of Poetry
burn
Staring through the grime
you stood by the window
good for nothing
thinking
It's only orders that I follow
Staring through the window
you stood for nothing
conscience clean
as poem after poem died
as the Humanities were
purified

[ CC ] Letter To A Poetic Medic
September 8, 2018
Trempealeau County
Wisconsin
Dear Ahavati,
I want to thank you once again for your critique that saved the life of my pathetic poem, It Came From Stephen King's Brain. I am honored that you took time out of your incredibly busy schedule to examine it ( and the 34 other poems that accompanied ) under nothing short of a microscope to discover areas of improvement, not to mention reveal flaws that escaped the attention of so many others ( like that Todski69 fellow ).
How fortunate I was that we crossed paths in an...

[2017] Poetry Without Reservations
Things have got to change
Things have got to change
Can't take this same shit
different day banality
anymore
Familiar to strange
From familiar to strange
Stepping out into traffic
Exit the revolving door
Free my mind
from this reality designed
by its control freak Architects
with their agents of
imbalanced checks
To hell with what
everyone else expects---
It's not about taking chances ...

[ NaPo 2017 ] Speak Your Mind
Daddy says
You stupid, useless piece of shit!
Another child cries
The playround crowd chants
Faggot! Faggot!
Another child cries
Classmates post on Facebook
Do us a favor
KILL yourself now
Just get it over with!
Puts an end to all the hateful remarks
by eating a gun barrel
Another child dies
Blow your brains out
Survival of the fittest
That's what it's all about
You've every right to say it
no matter how untruthful ...

[ Politics & Religion ] Satan Thanks You
Soldier fallen
in the line of duty
Satan thanks you
for your service
Tips a helmet
in your honor
Satan gives thanks
You deserve this
giant black cube with
pentagrams on each side
A sincere tribute?
You decide
It's about the stupidest thing I've ever heard
and I can't wait to see it
be shit on by a bird
This pointless gesture
no sillier than the Satanic Temple
being a non-theistic belief system

[ NaPo 2017 ] Signs Of The Times
Never have I spent
so much time writing poetry
Back in the days
when forums were popular
( those cyber spaces where
people tried to have actual
discussions as opposed to
whatever this is lately )
my energy was reserved for
firing bullet points across tables
into heads of opposition
sure to knock them out of their
ivory towers of partisanship
but why?
Why be that guy
obsessed with the End Times?
who's convinced he is one of few
blessed...

[ NaPo 2017 ] Anything You Say
Lately, so many
faces you're showing
saying you are staying
one day, the next
you are going
leaving us
in a perpetual
state of unknowing---
can't seem to
make up your mind
with all these
seeds of doubt
you are sowing
Why so difficult
for you to commit?
How can we
ever put our trust in it---
this story from your mouth
when it changes from day to day?
Feeling as though
I can no longer believe in ...

[ NaPo 2017 ] Afterthoughts Of An Incomplete Soul
I'm usually lacking in profound things to say
No surprise; I'm an incomplete soul
an afterthought at the end of the day
You get what you paid for
This product you stole
[throat scream]
NOTHING MORE THAN AN EMPTY BLACK HOLE
[/throat scream]
Why
am I
not more "I"
than I should be?
Lost in a crowd of us, our, they, them, we
I would take it as insult
that there's something wrong with me
but that would mean
there wasn't anything ...

[ NaPo 2017 ] Ultraviolet
no sirens blaring
Everyone running for their lives
no sirens blaring
Ultraviolet raining down from the skies
no sirens blaring
Without warning, civilization dies
"No need for sirens"

Joe Public fries
Ozone holes plugged with rhetoric
prone to confabulation in a nation
brainwashed by their own creation
artificial realities of self preservation
Climate Change
is nothing but a hoax
perpetuated by Scientists
who have extensive university...

[ NaPo 2017 ] Children Of The Corn Cob
It's macabre, I know
but children of the corn
cob really do grow
in the great state of
Nebraska
And when you are
wandering in the maize,
they pop out in scary ways
too terrible to mention
I doubt you would tell me;
I sense your apprehension
Though I've heard
from a crowing blackbird
that its similar to the Baby Jesus
emerging from that cave he lived in
doing an Ally McBeal baby dance for us
and seeing his shadow, predicting
poetry for Thirty More...
