This November
I'm in a tough nightmare.
I fear this November will
mean nothing.
I see North America
bound by a ligature like rings
around Saturn.
Crowds of people - their faces
like withered roses -
are sweating as much as mercury
beside the sun;
their debt is stuck like a bag
on the highest branch
of a tree, flapping in the wind.
I see others
psychologically resembling
new-born birds blindly staring up,
mouths gaping open,
but the price of food makes it like a thief
on the lamb.

Public relations
You need a piano room.
Key players lucky strike.
As smoke and mirrors plume.
Illusions left and Reich.
Tune your minds to ivory bars.
In high C up and floats about.
Freudian slip on bananas.
Throw your torch of freedom out.
Key players lucky strike.
As smoke and mirrors plume.
Illusions left and Reich.
Tune your minds to ivory bars.
In high C up and floats about.

Wilting The Roses
Composing politics for the soul for the eyes or blind
and the ears or deaf...senses are numb. The nervous
system is wrapped in bones and flesh...illusions are
not real in the mind of a psychopathic corpse. The
neurosis of an obsidian gadfly. "Good morning
world!" Send in the clowns but beware the imp that
pisses in your seat and sees God in his line of
scriptures. With a sleight of hand playing Chess
to your Parcheesi's Monty Python, wilting the roses.

Olaf Eyes
Olaf eyes wandering dark's contrarian
of teething trolls in teetering shadows
Looming foggy haunting the boggy
waiting, for a tot of pablums Valium
With a nipple of paradoxical BS
playing hands with hypocrites

Looming foggy haunting the boggy

Evangelicals
Knowing nothing significant
they can't think for themselves
amid their Bible verse and rant
with logic left on shelves.
So overcome with fear are they...
they shit themselves a bit
then offer thoughts when they all pray
with half a rural wit.
Point this out and they get bent
within their pale skin,
which never once was heaven sent
since all they do is sin.
And why not cheat since Jesus saves
in tacit sin support
so Jesus freaks can go to raves...
or bribe a Supreme Court.

Idiot savants
Go and gather up the known affiliates.
We're gonna build a village of idiots.
We gotta make sure this gets crazy.
"Getting out of hand" to me is just lazy.
Had our fill of tastless "pain et cirque".
Contorting dough into a shape won't work.
Hunting down cerebral stimuli.
We got the time to kill but it won't die.
Gonna paint this town the bloodiest of red.
A thin veneer of all the living dead.
Choking to death on the lives they've led.
Infected by the many lies wide-spread.
Blunt force persuasion you beg us to...

World Demise
Humans are destroying mother earth
fertile lands toxic, decaying rebirth
air, land and sea are heavily polluted
deforestation, extinction, trees uprooted
corporations profit, not a care for our well being
asthma, emphysema, difficulties breathing
diseased wildlife, FDA approves to consume
aquatic life tainted, lead in our blood stream, awaiting doom
man made diseases, a global threat to our demise
extinction is certain, time to revolt, time to rise

Can't vote...
Can't vote in Texas nor in Wisconsin
nor Missouri nor in Arkansas
same goes for Georgia till I've purged my sin,
Can't vote in Idaho nor Wyoming
cos I broke some no-good made-up Dem' law
same goes for Georgia till I've purged my sin,
So gimme dough so I can wing this thing
cos can't vote in Kentucky nor Utah,
can't vote in Texas nor in Wisconsin,
And for the trumped-up charge " sex-offending "
this, sad thing, I can't vote in Florida
same for goes for Georgia till I've purged my sin, ...

The Naked Mind
No moral compass for a tendon of the naked mind
old stagnant haggard with a malignant tongue
now shredded Carrion for narcissistic Ravens
and a dozen dark angels wearing pork pie hats
haunting the memories of a potluck fortnight
planted with seeds of decadent debauchery
no moral compass for a tendon of the naked mind
old stagnant haggard with a malignant tongue
now shredded Carrion for narcissistic Ravens
and a dozen dark angels wearing pork pie hats

Massive Layoffs and Record Profits
Bob got a retail job at 23
wasn’t perfect
but he was content
till 2020 came around
the whole world was in a panic
he buckled down and did his part
everyone called him a hero
it made him feel good
little did he know
behind the scenes big business was plotting
2021 came and went
and so did his holiday pay
yearly raise, and benefits
the workload became 10x
when he asked when they’ll hire
they just replied “no one wants to work”
he began to have medical problems
and his bills were piling up
he wanted to...

I think your red hats make you look fat
hearts are broken
thoughts provokin
lies as clear as tongues
sheep follow to the slaughter
pretending it’s a chapel
as Trump shits on a plate
and calls it chocolate ice cream
they believe as they eat
every word from the great divider
much less 1776
more like 1692
he was born with a golden spoon
never worked a real job
because his real job is con-artist
knows nothing of God
yet he uses his name
cares not for family
fucks whores while Melania’s napping
a pedophile on Epstein's island
disrespects...

Exploitation
What are our sins but practice for betrayal
When the grass is always greener where it’s septic
Following in broken patterns like trying to reinvent the wreckage
Innovating evils of the ways we’re duped to entice
Mind platform to a thousand thoughts
Sex sells but the fantasy is overpriced
Dreaming in technicolor nightmares
Charming monsters conceal their scare
Enchanted by the beauty at the surface
The void entreats eyes gazing into darkness with a blank stare
Mind canvas to shades and the messes made
Perception the...
