Bow down before me and tremble, Puny Humans.
[ NaPo 2017 ] Exit Stage Left
I remain malformed, incomplete
history destined to repeat
if I don't change my evil ways
Didn't get it right the first time
Try, try again
Story of my lives lived
in Penny Dreadful passion plays
There be no rest for the weary soul
wandering this Garden of Eden
at night, hands blistered, bleedin
from all the weedin necessary to achieve
Karmic perfection and the right to
exit stage left
history destined to repeat

Didn't get it right the first time
Try, try again

from all the weedin necessary to achieve
Karmic perfection and the right to

[ NaPo 2017 ] Gutter Punch Drunk
Poe may have been a nutter
who died face first in the gutter
but his words will live on to butter
down to the very last crumb
the bread of Gothic romance
starved generations to come
His verse today and tomorrow
is a reminder of the sorrow
he tried to drown in the bottle
a depression he could not throttle
because with four fingers of rum
in each hand, he was all thumb
who died face first in the gutter
but his words will live on to butter
down to the very last crumb
the bread of Gothic romance
starved generations to come
His verse today and tomorrow
is a reminder of the sorrow
he tried to drown in the bottle
a depression he could not throttle
because with four fingers of rum
in each hand, he was all thumb

[ NaPo 2017 ] Semi Antics
I am an angry small man
making angry small footprints
in the sand
Taking that into consideration
get in my way, slow me down---
you'll get the backside of my hand
before I dropkick you into next week
I prefer "midget" to being called "dwarf"
Disney made them silly and weak
Tolkien, as fierce as sailors at a wharf
but too hairy and I have very little patience
for big, clumsy clodhoppers like you
who think they're God's gift to normal
making angry small footprints
in the sand
Taking that into consideration
get in my way, slow me down---
you'll get the backside of my hand
before I dropkick you into next week
I prefer "midget" to being called "dwarf"
Disney made them silly and weak

[ NaPo 2017 ] Stomach Butterflies
Ginger in the nude body suit
gives me the stomach butterflies
I'm talking about the Viberzi chick
She's a walking poop chute
making gas and diahrrea eyes
I know it's an advertising trick
that's working
I'm popping pill after pill
hoping that sexy gremlin will
appear and follow me everywhere
as if she was attached
to my rear
And I swear
I'll put up with
every annoying antic
and shenanigan of hers
because my...

[ NaPo 2017 ] Gallows Humor
Ever noticed that in every movie
taking place in the Old West
the town grunts have to build
a new gallows necessary in hanging
the hero who supposedly killed
someone while disguided as an Indian
after a failed attempt to purchase
land for a railroad coming soon
to a desert near you?
Seriously?
Back then, they hung some
poor shmuck every other day!
Guess that's what happens
when you use the same (t)rope
too many times --- it wears out

[ NaPo 2017 ] Google This
Dear Google Search Engine,
After over a decade of allowing websites
to emulate you in the art of digital theft
[ Yes, directly hotlinking to images
hosted on servers that other individuals
and businesses pay for is stealing ]
you are finally discussing the
penalization of their operations
[ many modeled after YouTube
a company owned by Google
which profits from "user uploads" ]
by lowering their rankings in correlation
to the number of complaints filed for

[ NaPo 2017 ] Killing FOX News
by Bill O'Reilly
He's is doing us a favor
writing a new novel
drenched in flavor and spice;
a salaciously savory diversion
from other imagination deprived
books he's authored, available
in bookstores everywhere
now at a bargain bin price
His new literary achievement?
Penned in actions, not words
telling the story of his rise
to stardom in the media[m]
of Entertainment News
with help from other creeps
who methodically abuse
women behind closed doors

[ NaPo 2017 ] The Devil Is In The Details
Can't say I wasn't warned
Mess with the Devil---
you'll get horned
Adding injury to my insult
his head was adorned
with a thorned crown
and If I was smart
I would have backed down
Instead I got in his face
all up in his business---
corporate affairs involving
soul acquisitions
eternal rest homes
such lucrative industries
Said, Satan!
I demand you give me
back my parking space
And while we're on the subject
quit acting like you own ...

[ NaPo 2017 ] Creep
Angel of Death creeps
through the house of Pharaoh
Nefreteri weeps
over her firstborn
only child in woe
Her jealousy and anguish
further hardening husband's
cold as stone heart
Ramses on his knees
begs Moses to, Go!
Depart!
from Egypt!
Take your pestilence, disease
and child murdering god
with you far from here!
The Deliverer gathers up his flock
who follow him into the desert
to continue their suffering year
after year ...

[ NaPo 2017 ] Architect Of Your Demise
Bite [down hard on] the bullet
loaded in the gun's chamber---
it's just another hollow point
Are you tired of firing blanks?
Judge and jury, yourself annoint
but your lack of execution
comes as no surprise
Look into the eyes
of Poetry --- its Irony
tells no lies
You'll wish you had died
From the Truth, you can't hide
Barrel in the mouth---
go ahead, pull the trigger
Swallow your swollen pride
...

[ NaPo 2017 ] The Devil's Reject
Lately, he screens my calls
Never answers the door
Satan doesn't love me anymore
Always let me shave his balls
Called me his Dirty Little Whore
Satan doesn't love me anymore
Daily, I scrubbed his commode
To him my soul was owed
Satan doesn't love me anymore
Praying to myself, I genuflect
Why am I the Devil's reject?
Satan doesn't love me anymore
His love is not divine like mine
at 99 cents per minute, dial 1-999
The Lord will love you long time ...

[ NaPo 2017 ] If death isn't becoming to you
then you should be coming to Death
Why?
Because everyone must die
Hold thy sickle high
Cut the cord that tethering
you to this universe
weathering your soul
of its worldly cares
Yes, it scares everyone
to move on, but we have to
or otherwise we'd never leave
Let the Grim Reaper cleave
you free of these notions
about living forever
Believe
there are more lives out there
you haven't yet lived
