Heel to the Chief
We live in America
where freedom to critique
our politicians is abundant
Those of you from
other countries — chime in!
Be pontificating or punting
pundits
And don't tread lightly—
grow yourself a pair—
throw a shoe ( or two )
while you can, of course
before Donald Trump decides
to issue an exective order declaring
shoesmakers be held liable
for demonstrations of disgust
should a direct hit leave
our Commander in Chief
with a lasting impression
of your soles
...

I Cannot Be Censured
Seeing it for what it is
a blindfolded errand
for covered hoes
marriage for the
jealousy
Cannot cleave
with liberty
where boys
in man-caves
go to wag
their tails
at fantasies
of bitches in heat
like a faithful
Madonna cult
the rest of us
must not bring out
our own appeal
so much, you see
we must conceal
a blindfolded errand
for covered hoes
marriage for the
jealousy
Cannot cleave
with liberty
where boys
in man-caves
go to wag
their tails
at fantasies
of bitches in heat
like a faithful
Madonna cult
the rest of us
must not bring out
our own appeal
so much, you see
we must conceal

War of the Spooks
We want Freedom
We want Free Will
But we are losing
This battle to the
War of the:
Goverments/Spooks
Because they created
The frenzy because of
their hidden secret labs
So please give us
back our Freedom and
Free Will
We want Free Will
But we are losing
This battle to the
War of the:
Goverments/Spooks
Because they created
The frenzy because of
their hidden secret labs
So please give us
back our Freedom and
Free Will

Queen Navajo
Her magic hands
Play the drum all night
Her special friends
Heal their pain
And time passes by
Her magic mind
Echoes in the night
Her weary eyes
Spring the rain
And time passes by
Oh, Queen Navajo
Take us to the city
The place of our birth
So that we may retire
To our tents and dreams
It takes time
Nothing but time
Play the drum all night
Her special friends
Heal their pain
And time passes by
Her magic mind
Echoes in the night
Her weary eyes
Spring the rain
And time passes by
Oh, Queen Navajo
Take us to the city
The place of our birth
So that we may retire
To our tents and dreams
It takes time
Nothing but time

Amongst the Sleepers and the Dead
Every star,
Nightly
Dancing upon
Every sea,
Both caressing
And
Crushing
Every shore
With juggernautical
Whimsy,
Forth and back,
Flying,
Falling,
Just like me
And the inconvenient tears
That you’d like
To ignore
I won't be ashamed,
Anymore,
By any means
Or
Anyone,
So,
Watch me burn and rise
And every bridge I lay to waste
Is weeping on a distant shore,
And everyone I disappoint
Is a hanging judge
In a kangaroo court
And everything...
Nightly

HIM AND HER
he was just your average girl
and she, the man he loved
she was his knight come shining bright
and he, her little dove
he washed her socks and served her meals
always with fresh bread
she drove a truck to make the bucks
that kept them warm and fed
the neighbors talked, the preacher balked
the inlaws turned their heads
but joy remained in their domain
and rocked their marriage bed
and when at last she was with child
he donned her boots and cap
went all aglow to make the dough
'til baby graced their...

Bloom, You Must
My sole employment is, and scrupulous care,
To place my gains beyond the reach of tides,'
- Henry David Thoreau
I am rooted in such grief
as fate's sour stream e'er runs beneath
to carry all the world's runoff,
flowing wide beyond belief.
In ev'ry man resides this place
wherein his mind has fallen from grace;
the hand that brought him far away
is too the same as new found foray.
Oh, stems that bore such heads of gold
to rise above the ways of old,
e'er forth...
To place my gains beyond the reach of tides,'
- Henry David Thoreau
I am rooted in such grief

The Next Exhale...
Many layers of waiting in anticipation
This party in the mind just letting the ride carry those willing to be in those spaces and places
There's this sense of something about to happen
It is a seduction penetrating through thoughts
Yet it has a cliffhanger with an unfinished ending
It is just a matter of time before the word is heard and acted upon
The torture that comes from what is left unsaid
Here's to bringing it all down to earth
This party in the mind just letting the ride carry those willing to be in those spaces and places
There's this sense of something about to happen
It is a seduction penetrating through thoughts
Yet it has a cliffhanger with an unfinished ending
It is just a matter of time before the word is heard and acted upon
The torture that comes from what is left unsaid
Here's to bringing it all down to earth

Green Cheese
Rome wasn't built in a day
Pyramids weren't built in a week
No matter what the people say
Kingdoms aren't gained by the meek
They teach that to keep control
Know that knowledge is the key
We have to be strong and bold
If we're ever going to be free
Physically?
We seem to have achieved that
Reality?
It's really only quasi
Mentally?
We are in mazes like lab rats
Constantly?
We're in pursuit of green cheese
Pyramids weren't built in a week
No matter what the people say
Kingdoms aren't gained by the meek
They teach that to keep control
Know that knowledge is the key
We have to be strong and bold
If we're ever going to be free
Physically?
We seem to have achieved that
Reality?
It's really only quasi
Mentally?
We are in mazes like lab rats
Constantly?
We're in pursuit of green cheese

My eyes are heavy
My eyes are heavy and full of pain
The sleep I desire is just beyond this day
My head is pounding, awaiting
The final kiss
Of tender release
From this endless emptiness
The thoughts in my mind feel meaningless
My heart seems set apart from the Divine
Perception is a dream, a lie
Relief is when I no longer struggle to meet my needs
As everything is exactly as it should be
If I do not perceive anything, there is only unity
It cannot be wrong or right
It is not dark or light
Good or bad,...
The sleep I desire is just beyond this day
My head is pounding, awaiting
The final kiss
Of tender release

As everything is exactly as it should be
If I do not perceive anything, there is only unity

Punctured Potter
there was a punctured potter
whose wills strained shuffled shudders
meagre muds moistened massive moans
dark traces drooled, gaunt glows
hoisted zeal hankered hampers:
eerie efforts pruned pulpy pesters
lanky labour leered, futility feigned lame
crushed contractions, callous confetti's crave
damp death drilled his plague
sumptuous suck, nosy nectar's crest
potter birthed a son,a generation then another son
whilst masticated malady mimicked, poring pawns
the keener he carved a shape,
soaring swifter contractors...
whose wills strained shuffled shudders
meagre muds moistened massive moans
dark traces drooled, gaunt glows
hoisted zeal hankered hampers:
eerie efforts pruned pulpy pesters
lanky labour leered, futility feigned lame
crushed contractions, callous confetti's crave
damp death drilled his plague
sumptuous suck, nosy nectar's crest
potter birthed a son,a generation then another son
whilst masticated malady mimicked, poring pawns
the keener he carved a shape,
