White China Moon
White china moon
Floating across Montana
Spy high above the clouds
In the land of the silos
Red china moon
Bobbing and weaving
Powered by the sun
About 60000 feet high
Looking for clues
White china moon
Floating by Missouri
Across the plains
Heading for where the wind goes
Red china says it’s about the weather
This balloon that strayed into our land
It’s not what they say but what they do
Can’t believe in their truth
Scramble the jets over South Carolina
6 miles...

Big Mac
seems the old bloke in the café
didn’t die, he simply went to McDonald’s,
I don’t know why, but he was far too
embarrassed to come back ..

This morning
I read a
poem about
nails tapping
into coffins
and I think
about how
many of my
siblings
hear the
same nails
tapping in
their lives
across a
pond
right
now.

A Corporation's Election
As Ms. America lies in wait
To see who'll make her great
The stakes remain very high
Some will smile; some will sigh
Some will cry; some will rejoice
Some may lose free will of choice
Will their voice lift up and sing
Or will they feel the bumble bee's sting
We're all in the ring of the U.S. of A
Fighting each other like this is M.M.A.
Outcome'll convey the state of the union
And the flag'll still sway in this Corporation
To see who'll make her great
The stakes remain very high
Some will smile; some will sigh
Some will cry; some will rejoice
Some may lose free will of choice
Will their voice lift up and sing
Or will they feel the bumble bee's sting
We're all in the ring of the U.S. of A
Fighting each other like this is M.M.A.
Outcome'll convey the state of the union
And the flag'll still sway in this Corporation

Nice
I thought he was nice.
Oh, that word.
But, yeah, it seemed to fit.
At first, I thought he was just lazy. A slacker.
He, along with my friend's nephew, were supposed to show up at 10 AM to help me move. The nephew called at 10:30.
"Uh, J is still sleeping. He doesn't like getting up early. I'll keep trying him."
11:45 AM: "He's awake! We should be there by 12:30."
12:30 PM: "J is moving kind of slow. But we'll be there by 1:00."
This was a 26-year-old man, not a 17-year-old...

Citizens of the Pipeline Empire
Diddy going to jail is like rewarding him for his alleged crime
It’s just giving him unlimited access to confined behind,
“Now instead of licking pink waterfalls
He will be licking dick and balls,
“Now he is running hard like a mangy dog in a shelter’s backyard
Thinking he’s free until that choking chain cut off his bark,
“That is how many of us live our everyday life
Dining on danger and dancing on the edge of the nuclear knife,
“Being only one terrorist act away from the eternal black
Now you slave...

Stole Geronimo
Stole Geronimo for skull n bones
Scouting for food and shelter
A horse stands up on red rocks
Feathers hide dangerous dreams
Living on the land of fruit of plenty
Birds scatter lightning is coming
Thunder of the Four Horsemen
Dirt kicks out under their shoes
Feel a steal a coming
Take land that is theirs
Slaughter innocent children n women
So I take any scalp I can carve
They steal our land and claim American
Geronimo is an American King
...

An observation at a coffee shop
With God,
Makeup,
and disposable cups
all things are possible.

EXPATRIATION TO UNKNOWN DESTINATION
Pumping my brakes; taking a pause for the cause
A reprieve from the game framed by 48 laws
Where the stars and stripes unite upon a tattered flag
The land of milk and honey where many chase the bag
Rags to riches are the wishes of the populous
Soul selling while running after IN GOD WE TRUST
Lust causing bust when they play their hands
Dying while trying to change nicks & dimes to bands
Cause the land has quick sand in inconspicuous places
And labyrinths full of rats desiring to win their races
With hatemongering racist...
A reprieve from the game framed by 48 laws

Unite In Love
What the hell is wrong with this world?
Hate for others seems to rise like an exploding volcano.
Politicians at each other's throats.
Can't make decisions together.
Can't agree on things together.
Too busy thinking of what benefit's their party.
All that was heard of in 2021.
Administration leaving innocents behind.
Frustrations mounting in house and at the border.
Has this world lost its ability to love one another?
Come together and think of those innocents, crisis that loom here and now.
Deeply disturbing this all is no matter the side...

American football and stupidity
Invent a game about hitting people,
then make rules against ways to hit people.
then make rules against ways to hit people.

High Upon Stone
Ice cracked bones
Heart made of stone
The statue sits upon its throne
All alone birds tend
Her loneliness
Heeding her muted cries
Within is a heart
That could never lie
Outside a body and face
That shall never die
Heart made of stone
The statue sits upon its throne
All alone birds tend
Her loneliness
Heeding her muted cries
Within is a heart
That could never lie
Outside a body and face
That shall never die
