the world of the elderly
The world of an elderly person
Lately, when going to the garage, open the door
to drive my car out into the street, I feel nervous
and unsure, asking myself questions about my
ability to drive that I might be past this simple
knowledge
Nervous translates into action hands are jerky
I drive and brake too often at the traffic lights,
hesitate, my hands are moist with sweat
I sit in a dark room, open and close, my fists with
ease, I get up off the chair, sit down, and get up
many times, my knees are bendable and hurt not. ...

Pain of Forgotten Man
From the shallow mind of a cynic
Woe be the pain of the forgotten man
In life's deepest shade of addiction
Driven by the desire to be
Someone's Raggedy Andy
Now an old soul speaking to the dead
In life's deepest shade of addiction
Playing pick-up Sticks with a shadow
And screaming curses of insanity
Now a lost genius in a glass house
From the shallow mind of a cynic
Woe be the pain of the forgotten man
In life's deepest shade of addiction
Driven by the desire to be
Someone's Raggedy Andy
Now an old soul speaking to the dead
In life's deepest shade of addiction
Playing pick-up Sticks with a shadow
And screaming curses of insanity
Now a lost genius in a glass house
From the shallow mind of a cynic

Rising To The Occasion, Jaden Doubles Down
It's time to stop
It's time to stop
The blood from running
From the fractured corner
Of my crumbling psyche
Marionettes are dancing
Choking on the machine
It's time to stop
It's time to stop
The blood from running
It's time to stop
The blood from running
From the fractured corner
Of my crumbling psyche
Marionettes are dancing
Choking on the machine
It's time to stop
It's time to stop
The blood from running

The Proud Politician
he stands in the halls of power
standing tall and proud
he is a shining star
a champion for the people
his smile looks sincere
his gestures are compassionate
a beacon of hope for the future
but all are pretentiously deceptive
a charmer who kisses babies
kiss the hands of the elderly
shed tears when someone dies
is it the loss of votes you regret
he soothes the masses
with his smooth voice
promises to cure all ills
and to build cities of utopia
pretentious politician quit...

not quite a slave
Not quite a slave
After war number 2 when the time was hard and
oil was undiscovered, hidden under deep waters
when our town stank of stale fish oil and people
made their booze called “sats” guaranteed
free of constipation for a lifetime.
The Social Welfare Council did not have room for
all children were sent to farms as free labor paid for by the state
The farm I was sent to had two daft women
from the town, one had broken into a military
enemy camp spent days there before being thrown out
naked from the vest down.

assassination
Seven Mossad Agents came to Norway a winter day
when a snow drowns the needs of the homeless
asleep in a shop's doorway absorbing the sarcastic smell
of coffee and the aroma of a Napoleon cream cake.
Their mission was to assassinate a man called a terrorist
by them, but a freedom fighters by others.
The target had been located, a man of 47 bearded, with
prematurely gray hair, Semitic features, and a nose somewhat bigger than what is the norm in a Nordic land
He works as a waiter at a cafe, and take the bus home
a quarter past ten in the...

broken roads
BROKEN ROADS
The matrix of lies
may yet be real
There maybe a King
in waiting
or yet another betrayal
The few that demand
always seem to win
they lost their souls
to gain the whole world
long ago
We wait for the smell of decay
on the airwaves and the streets
the gossip of news
keeps the kindling burning
Which one has any truth
in this plan of deception?
The famous and the unseen
now allies in the destruction
The prophets keep saying
not to give up...

the canine reflection
A canine reflection
A dog is the lovable and dopey member in your family
most of us agree a dog is a member of a clan,
had it been otherwise, say, a dog in a chain outside
it would have made no sense.
Most families have member who was not when God ( don't forget God is spelled in capital letter)
handed out brains, send them to an institution because we agree this is the best for them
dogs can be trained to not crap on the carpet and refrain to bite the postman, but are allowed to growl at the people whose aim in life to handing fliers for mostly ...

small is good
Small is good
There are not many big elephants left on the savannah
Near the houses where I live elephants are a bit smaller
nature did this for them to survive big game hunters
like kings, who think killing big animals is masculine
like having a secret mistress, but not too concealed
because if no one knows, why bother?
The small elephants that have yet to get a Latin name
like Loxdonta africana, have a tiny tusk not bigger than
than a bull's horn and feet too tiny to be made into an umbrella holder, but are sweeter looking, smell sweet, and...

the garden of peace
The Garden of Peace
lately, I have been thinking of the many religions and how each one offers the best salvation is dependent on the circumstances of the time frame
When the protestant God based much of their faith upon
the teaching of Jesus and his masculine stance against
the Romans and the boot-licking priests who cared
more about their safe seat than the truth which as we know has a tendency to fluctuate in favor of the mighty
The Catholicism are not so fixated on Jesus, they are
more into the Virgin Mary and how she suffered for her...

Full moon
I looked on at the full moon tonight and sighed under breaths between car rides where I wore masks on masks
smiled through it
smiled through it

Ordinary.
Fat cat said"Huh,I can do that.
You're nothing special."
Have to agree with that.
If nothing special,then wouldn't be copying me! He told him.
Sugar free ugly twat.
Will never think outside the box.
Too ordinary.
Who said that!
