[ Politics ] 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue
On the 6th of Jan
televised, the sham
a bigly in-your-face scam
fleeced with sub'flim'inal flam
orchestrated by a rotter
damn swamp fillin politician
so lackin in confidence;
man refusing to concede
his place in history
by riling up a fan base
of idle worshippers

[ Spiritual ] Turning the tables
The Universe is a vinyl record
waiting for your needle self
to get back into its groove;
it will always be there
for you to make music
but only when you are ready
That's how important
each person is
and how much power
you've always had
at your fingertips
waiting for your needle self
to get back into its groove;
it will always be there
for you to make music
but only when you are ready
That's how important
each person is
and how much power
you've always had
at your fingertips

[ Politics ] String Theory and the Spirit Molecule
Stolen presidential elections
despite Republican leaders saying,
Not
QAnonsense like pedophile cabals
of celebrities and Democrats
that Trump will exorcise upon return
during a Second Coming prophesied
Conspiracy theories
aside from empowering individuals
subscribing to their own powerlessness
into becoming explosive critical massess
such as was witnessed January 6th
are the Devil's way of giving you balls
of string to occupy your idle hands
eager to do the Lord's work

[2022] Secret Library
He says to me,
"Oldtimer,
spend less time spewing
such long winded drivel
and you'd have more poems
than me after all the years
you've been registered
at this poetry website"
I says back to him,
"Sonny,
if only you were more
observant, you'd know
that I do have have more
poems than you because
I've been sharing others
here under additional
pseudonyms you're not
aware of, which I've
personally never kept ...

[ On Poetry ] Once upon a time
in the far off realm
known as the Internet
there were these two trolls
ne'er-d'welling
under the Highway Bypass
leading readers around and away
from the Pink Palace of Poetitude
Whenever it suited them
they tore into writers passerbying
with toothy tusked harsh criticisms
of amateur verse such as
"Don't quit your day job, Pedophile!"

[2022] Sign of the times
If a watched pot can never boil
does a watched wind-up watch
ever recoil?
Normally, I wouldn't
give time the time of day
but the LED clock display
is randomly blinking lately
as if signalling for my attention
informing me that perhaps
I am presently too obsessed
with the overall concept
Well, I wouldn't be if it'd
stop that darn flashing
On the other hand . . .
it simply could be
a personal warning:
I'm not long for this Earth;

[ Short Shorts ] Only Human
Sometimes I have to remind myself
that you're Karma's bitch, not mine
and Evil expedites its own epic failure
without Good ever having to lift a finger

[2021] The Dickens you say
If only changing who you are
was that easy of a task
---being visited by three spirits
in a single night and having
the errors of your ways
laid out on the table
in linear fashion
but for some . . .
Well, it's more convenient
to just sweep that whole
messy deck of cards
right off the table!

Everytime someone erases
what you've said and puts
words in your mouth instead
a devil gets its wings

[ X-Mas 2021 ] The reclamation of miser Ablewordzy Scrounge
It's December 24th
once again; I've yet to
find any words flowing
naturally from this pen
as if a migrating throng
of birds flocking with purpose
destination in mind
Instead, mocking me
knocking at the door?
A host of ghostly Jacob Marley
carolers informing that there's
more work to be done on this tale
and that so much daylight
has been wasted
How miserably unkind!
"It's all HUMBUG!" I wail
through the frosted foyer window
"I am too old and beyond hope!
Go, and redeem...
