Innocent until proven stupid
The father appears at a funeral
His wife, daughter & son are all dead
They were shot, execution style
He was home that night
He claimed he was passed out, piss drunk on the bed
They never found the assailants
They never found the gun
2 weeks later he moved in with his girlfriend
He confessed to murdering all of his family
She believed him
They were married one month later
His wife, daughter & son are all dead
They were shot, execution style
He was home that night
He claimed he was passed out, piss drunk on the bed
They never found the assailants
They never found the gun
2 weeks later he moved in with his girlfriend
He confessed to murdering all of his family
She believed him
They were married one month later

Unique
I once ran into a tagger, a street artist
Who went by the name "Unique"
Though he looked kind of young
The guy had a really good technique
But the font he was using
Kind of made me question his name
He spelled “Unique” differently
I wondered if he would reach some fame
I asked if he had a girlfriend
He said he was married with two kids
Then it finally dawned on me
The guy was unaware of what he did
They say ignorance is bliss
So I walked away listening to my music
Unique had been tagging walls
Writing...

The Paste Eater’s Grave
I.
In Goldfield, Nevada
there stands a stone-
unknown man
died eating library paste
July 14, 1908
The postmortem examination
revealed he was starved to death—
would have found the mixture sweet:
flour, water, 60% aluminum;
but, an entire jar a deadly treat
The only thing to his name
was a letter addressed to Ross ...

Everythings Fine
There are bigger things to worry about than politics or the death of democracy.
Worry about the death of kindness.
Worry about the death of compassion.
Worry about the death of decency.
Worry about the death of yourself.
Or
Don't worry at all.
Look up to the sky
Be amazed and cry.
Isn't that all we've ever wanted
To be amazed.
Worry about the death of kindness.
Worry about the death of compassion.
Worry about the death of decency.
Worry about the death of yourself.
Or
Don't worry at all.
Look up to the sky
Be amazed and cry.
Isn't that all we've ever wanted
To be amazed.

GOING AGAINST THE GRAIN
As I raise upon another day in this world 🌍 of chaos and drama. I am awakening up on this day to learn, that the Democrats, are playing the blame game. 😞 Trying to figure out who's at fault??🤨 FOR this disaster of there Hope, of still being in charge, as the Democrat party. Yet all your have to do is look at thyself, for sure it's annoying but yet look at the situations. THAT you all have created not really caring, knowing whatever we do comes with repercussion and consequences.. 😞 YET you still believe that you got it in the 💰 💰 💰 bags...

Masochist Heaven
A popular vote of low self-esteem
was all it took for billionaires to win
the war they waged on freedom's ringing dream
to escape from Europe's wages and sin
and next you know they'll elect the shooters
who made the kindergartens an abattoir,
or industry rife with more polluters
so egos can reach as high as a star
for profits to blast to the moon and back
and pay for the overclass rocketeer
even as workers have a heart attack
and afterwards only cry in their beer
cuz everywhere the cancelled Medicare
makes MAGA laugh at the...

The Day Of Reckoning (COTS-Part II)
I suppose in my culture we do not give credence to anyone that is she dick
An Adam Apple still displayed in black and white, a false wig wearing chick
I suppose a Monkey to swing from your groin do exist
I guess it must get hard as a banana and stiff as a brick
You on here every hour on the hour trying to bend a nigga will over and for what, where’s the clit
When you do not have a hairy jungle in your pants
I come in peace, move silence in sound, the universal is my spiritual romance, and I try in humbleness, to always grant

Tide Ride
a little swell
a splash and crash
a whimper
that's all
same stuff peddled
angst and nothing
when all's done
it's a big whole void
wind blowing between eyes
squinting at letters
jumbled abbreviations
swotted years for those
same old tepid liquid
left in dirty mugs
crumbled cookies
who cared anymore
reading tea leaves
thinking of magic wands
to return them all
to nowhere land.

At Half Mast
Restless spirits when John Lennon was struck down
can you imagine all the people who cried
when Mahatma Gandhi died with sightless eyes
can you imagine all the people who fast
and stop singing when the caisson passed
flying the eagle at half mast
can you imagine all the people who cried
when Mahatma Gandhi died with sightless eyes
can you imagine all the people who fast
and stop singing when the caisson passed
flying the eagle at half mast

Count the corn
The anchovy, for lunch,
weighed like bronze
in the messenger's belly.
In his mouth there was a taste
to fungi and gasoline.
He forgot to see the deadline
and now the gastric juice
was to solve.
Because he had to work
spade and lime, like all
the other boys.
Each of them, another
cloth puppet under
the volley of orders
and cries of the rodent,
the one they called chief,
always on the tail.
He felt ridiculous
and out of action, like a rift
in the mold of a cube!
