Aye
Rainy days
Clouds of dismay
All they can say
Is to kneel & pray
We're losing our way
Faith starting to sway
This game that we play
Can drive us all cray
Zee to the Aye
Scenes on replay
U.S. of A
And lands far away
Is democrasay
Becoming aristocrasay
Just do as I say
It seems that way
Aye?

liberty deferred
Life is a compromise between fate and
free will."—Elbert Hubbard
another grave,
wherein, interred
she, whom but yesterday
was all the things
to everyman
who from her fountain sipped.
rest with the brave,
conquests deferred,
the hour too dark, touché,
for questionings
of charlatans
that once too oft misdipped.
how comatose
a compromise
to which no blame can fall,
when, with the earth
no more alert,
...

Hill-eyes
Between children's parties
and loose, late hour energy
where I still hear her screaming
and find her drooling,
I drift naturally
into lusting for annual quiet,
seldom seen entirely self focused hours,
where I'll lounge on familiar mountains,
strain only tea, sharpen pencils
and bury words,
and steal someone, anyone
who'll escape with me,
not some half hour down time,
not some weekend in a far off land
but become hermits
and eat each other wholely,
painted in mud,
hiding from the city
dwellers...

Bon Frenemy
My employer is forcing
me to take the jab
should I die on this hill?
fuck!
fuck you, you fat fuck!
now the office manager was
asking me for a list of my
job duties
was the new management
deciding whether to can
my ass or not?
and would I be blessed in
the dark if they pulled
the trigger on me?
fuck you S, fuck you K,
fuck you H
kiss my motherfucking ass
weak threats from a man with
little choice
I was thinking about the
rental...

Hellified Tantamounts
This is a spider session, replete
with the sunglass woman
eyeing me from across
the street
I don’t want to hear music
there is nothing I want to see
there is nothing to say
I’m watching this all from
across the street and it’s
boring
pine tar dripping from my
ceiling
black widows forming webs
across my doorway
another job in hell tomorrow
I was just another pawn in
the sickest game of all
liquor for dinner
locking my keys in my car
...

A Bird's Agony (Finally Free)
There's no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you
That's an amazing quote attributed to the great Maya Angelou
As the caged bird flew outta its cage and engaged a symphony
Singing loudly about being free to express tales about its journey
Conveying how dichotomies keep enemies in a constant state of war
Even Biblical allegories provide revelations about how they'll be more
It relays how much of a chore it is trying to soar to empyrean
And how its seen many scenes of things done by human beings
Saying how taxing these...

In coal hue,
where no bugger ever rises
except a fool,
follow me out, where
brambles'll cut coverless,
scarred knees,
train underpass,
concrete trees.
I'll hunt the miles,
harsh, tearing inclines and
exhaust the inches of your
sour soul,
when sweat's become
a cult-chapel to kneel in,
head wanting more,
body screaming
fuck me,
yesterday's transgressions
will turn gelatinous fat,
bury skin and be
devoured by sleep.
I wonder if,
between our violent everything,
something fell...
where no bugger ever rises
except a fool,
follow me out, where
brambles'll cut coverless,
scarred knees,
train underpass,
concrete trees.

Lady Liberty
Lady Liberty
On the threshold of Lady Liberty
Ellis Island waits for a rebirth of America
With the patience of a Polish immigrant
Who found sea legs he called freedom shoes
That made the ship a road across the ocean
He walked daily from bow to stern
To keep in shape for the job he lined up
Of delivering all the news that was fit to print
But he had heard that boats were turned back
From what once was a harbor
But his movable highway
Is a rainbow path
On the threshold of Lady Liberty
Ellis Island waits for a rebirth of America
With the patience of a Polish immigrant
Who found sea legs he called freedom shoes
That made the ship a road across the ocean
He walked daily from bow to stern
To keep in shape for the job he lined up
Of delivering all the news that was fit to print
But he had heard that boats were turned back
From what once was a harbor
But his movable highway
Is a rainbow path

Mortgaged Minds
I impart thoughts for the love of the art
Words observed come from the heart
Where I start and where I end
Determined by my muse who wields a pen
Scribbling hymns on virtual pages
Releasing them from out of cages
Places where they used to reside
Held captive inside of my mind
Binding ties are permanently severed
Now's prime time for me to be heard
No herd mentality is controlling me
Bounded here but psychologically free
Rattling the chains of this Corporation
Devising a plan to grab emancipation ...

Capo Delgado
It seems too unbelievable at first
As if playing out a scene in a movie
Somewhere in a country far away
Remote from any homeland
Unfortunately
The truth is far worse than fantasy
As misfortune might have it
The danger lurks too close
To be ignored
And pretend
As if
It’s existence is of insignificance
As with countless occurrences
In our God forsaken continent
Specifically in the southern region
Time seems to be of no consequence
With no need to want to intervene
In places where timidity is a luxury ...
