Popular Poems About Magic

(or "The Necromancy Blues")











The dead shall live and their bodies will break
these blue remains from the nameless crave
bears a graceful pain in gunmetal quake -
braced for the wake of an early grave

the whippoorwill cries from a lonesome ledge
the killdeer shrieks in protective feign
hinterland magic past the greenway's edge
ensorcelled brain at sauntering reign

black goat of the wood with a thousand young
gibbering pact along drooling path ...

I’m an advocate for compassion and empathy
But the recent political results left me disappointed
Now the world is lacking even more sympathy
While several leaders are illogical and disjointed

But I remember that before all this came to pass
I thought maybe we should let crazy take the wheel
I mean how often do you see a vehicle driven by an ass?
Spellbound by some witchcraft in the art of the steal

I think I wished for this so that all would be revealed
So that even the most blind would eventually learn
Thou shall fucketh...
