you get what you ask for
when you set someone
up to fail
don't be
disappointed
when they
do
up to fail
don't be
disappointed

Mediocrity
Mediocrity lauded in one and demonized in another.
Elementary level skills praised for those without hurdles. The same energy never given to those whom busted through those hurdles and made a new path.
The banality of the same endless trite, the only originality comes from what was stolen.
Making the extra effort and taking the next step just to end up next to the subpar wastrel who gave very little. The irony not lost, yet obviously deemed deserving based on birth.
Cycle’s that never end, always carrying on in the business of making the lack...

Whispers
Deception lies in the before,
in the here and after
Green eyes scour screens
of devices held and grounded
Flagrant groanings spilled
with the wine of wicked ink
Teach me not your ways
Intuition springs forth
to shield
Think not that I stand
here before you poignant
and naked
Armour covers me
lest I be deceived
Not unacquainted with subterfuge,
but aware of this
present darkness
in the here and after
Green eyes scour screens
of devices held and grounded
Flagrant groanings spilled
with the wine of wicked ink
Teach me not your ways
Intuition springs forth
to shield
Think not that I stand
here before you poignant
and naked
Armour covers me
lest I be deceived
Not unacquainted with subterfuge,
but aware of this
present darkness

A Friend in Need
Doctor, dear doctor
what do you recommend
to end unwanted pregnancy?
I'm asking for a friend.
She just became a teenager
when this life began,
that's much too young to be a mom...
and I'm a married man.

Pepto-Bismol
a sight of pure abysmal
a spoon of Pepto-Bismol
my head is spinning
my eyes are bleeding
i wonder why
we forsake our teaching
our sinful acts
consumed by god
so how come he
remain a fraud
he's pure with life
from up above
but send us down
to empty bouts
although we sinned
from heart within
he forgives
until my end
a spoon of Pepto-Bismol
my head is spinning
my eyes are bleeding
i wonder why
we forsake our teaching
our sinful acts
consumed by god
so how come he
remain a fraud
he's pure with life
from up above
but send us down
to empty bouts
although we sinned
from heart within
he forgives

The insipid nature of a lesser poet.
There's softness to the edges
where battered bruises swell
stagnation wreaks of havoc
as bitterness shows it's tell
Fraught of curious cruelties
left strewn all laissez-faire
piercing blistered lashes
wielded sans a thought or care
Cloaked of cursed shadows
casting lines to widely catch
hooking hatred with barbed wire
smallness knowing it's outmatched
Bile sowing discord
becomes urgent breath to bate
sounding off in tempered tantrums
only ends in your own sealed fate
...

I Know
I know that some people will want to hear the things that I have to say and some will not.
I also know that not everybody will regard my opinions as important information.
I know that you speak in ignorance because you lack wisdom and accurate knowledge.
Moreover, I know that you like to support things that you do not know their origins or roots.
I know that they have been teaching you falsehood since the days of your childhood.
And I know that you prefer fantasy to reality because that is what you mostly know.

myths and vivisection
beauty is in the eye
of a dead fish floating
on it's side on top
of the water
fortune favors the
underhanded and
dishonest
hope springs a leak
and sinks into the depths
of the Marina Trench
no alms for the poor,
just alms for the uber
rich and corporate
America through
sky scaper sized tax
loop holes
myths
fairy
tales
delusions
the end doesn't always
justify the means
last man standing
please shut off the
lights ...

Get a Life
You know too much
About the people on the news
And that’s all I know about you
You talk about other people’s issues
Like you have something to prove
I hope they’re talking about you too
I really don’t give a shit
About how you think they live
Because when I leave
Are you going to talk about me
I know I’m just who you want me to be
And you don’t know the full story
But I want to know how I’m perceived
What everybody else believes
You’re always too loud
So I live in the...

Ain't No Teardrops
Dancing the twilight of dark's melancholia
listen to the strings of madmen and tales
without love for one another
but making time for porn and lotto
unconscious of reality and poetic oxygen
living for salty egos as demons in life
and knowing not the rule of thumb
but listening to those who quote
when there is no time for sanity
listening to songs of castrated fools
becoming unhinged when it strikes home
ain't no rainbows when your tears dry up
and your tattoos run over speed bumps
having life's card punch, making room...

Balance
Walking into the wind with least resistance.
Walking, covering an absurd amount of distance.
Dressed in black, sunglasses covering the eyes.
Walking into the wind beneath electromagnetic skies.
Walking into the wind, stepping gently to the air.
Walking, stepping in a city scattered everywhere.
Surrounded by an aura never experienced before.
Stepping, rising through the air, heavy nevermore.
Thick clouds becoming purple, lightning cutting all around,
flashing violently although followed not by any sound. ...

Der Furor
The zealots speak with half a wit,
So tragically incomplete,
Having been congenitally split
With the other half in their seat,
Where constipation forms a bond
Their bitter heart cannot undo
And then in time they get quite fond
Of skipping to their angry loo
To strain until the face gets red
In fearsome contemplation
Of what someone may say instead
Of their prideful indignation
Which sounds a lot just like, of course,
The beating of their long dead horse.
So tragically incomplete,
Having been congenitally split
With the other half in their seat,
Where constipation forms a bond

And then in time they get quite fond
Of skipping to their angry loo
To strain until the face gets red
In fearsome contemplation
Of what someone may say instead
Of their prideful indignation
Which sounds a lot just like, of course,
The beating of their long dead horse.
