Anticipating the taunt
Of a spellbound fate was
Like irony for some
Vicarious shame,
Bringing loneliness
To those of whom
Have beckoned, trekked,
Waited for poetic justice in the
Retribution of intrusive
Marketing that shrouds, hides.
Masterful callousness,
Pretending to never feel,
Mocked and laughed at
The innocent wonder
Of familiar reminiscence,
Like insisting favor
Was sensual, assuming an
Embarrassing tease,
Reinforcing the numb veracity
Of what carnality was worth. ...

As the World turns
look East they chanted
look East, look East
and they did
the vanquished was lavish
in their achievements
hail sons of the Rising Sun
work hard o' children of toil
till the land
cut the hills to make plantations
sully the water
who cares, they are for monkeys
what...you need that for survival
monkeys or humans
choose....
oh look the money's coming
ker ching ...ker ching
lets spend it on a ship
an old used one
that will never sink
the rest of the money is mine
...

The Tyranny Of Indifference
We will stamp on you
Till you comply
Don’t complain
We write the rules
Just roll over and die
We own the workhouses
No breaks for you
Shut up and do
Slaves have no say
Forget fairness
It’s a fascist regime
Wear the patch
Take the beatings
You’re the reason
Everything has gone wrong
You are not human
Don’t deserve thought
It’s our leash
We pull it
You choke to the command
Strain what strain
You are weak
It don’t matter if you snap ...
Till you comply
Don’t complain
We write the rules
Just roll over and die
We own the workhouses
No breaks for you
Shut up and do
Slaves have no say
Forget fairness
It’s a fascist regime
Wear the patch
Take the beatings
You’re the reason
Everything has gone wrong
You are not human
Don’t deserve thought
It’s our leash
We pull it
You choke to the command
Strain what strain
You are weak
It don’t matter if you snap ...

Unmarked Grave : Still Alive
Last flickers of a dying flame still burn
I strain to see every bitter remembrance
lain before my feet
pain stained mendacious propaganda
blackened and singed upon my soul
words have risen and taken toll
right or not, secrets have been sold
out of mind into the hands of masses
such asses, cutting out the tongues of old
forcible suppression unfurled
into self-made sterilization
white sheets billowing in the wind
masking an unpure infantile soiling of...

8 Guys Pizza
8 guys have more $$$
then the poorest 3.6 Billion people in the world
8 - EIGHT- WOW!!!
Talk about Being Behind The Eight Ball...
Pool-Pizza-No Soup for You
I-me, like many of us poor folk
struggle, worry, pray- To Pay
my bills on time,
get new tires for my car
buy food at Market Basket
and hope I have a little left over.
8 Guys-8 Slices of Pizza...
Maybe next paycheck
I can afford to buy me a new pair of shoes,
a small pepperoni pizza
and a Pespi...No Coke
then the poorest 3.6 Billion people in the world

rondo
it is better that any
society fearing spirited
debate and asking serious
questions without being
shouted down or
canceled
should return to the
darkness of the cave
and solve their differences
with pointy sticks, stones and
clubs
history...
the ever expanding
circle of diminishing
returns

Reconsecration
Reconsecration
Glasses stained in Stygian windows
With leopard spot rims for predatory effect
Met with sanguine lipstick heat
Her flaming kiss
Is a nitro-glycerin palliative
For Soho heartaches gone mad
When her Greenwich Village tastes
Like poems on all gallows night
That sing for her last supper
When slumlords hang
A no-vacancy brand of fascism
On the rookery gates to skid row
While the arterial Cathedral
For her sacramental corpuscles
Is reconsecrated to Aphrodite
Glasses stained in Stygian windows
With leopard spot rims for predatory effect
Met with sanguine lipstick heat
Her flaming kiss
Is a nitro-glycerin palliative
For Soho heartaches gone mad
When her Greenwich Village tastes
Like poems on all gallows night
That sing for her last supper
When slumlords hang
A no-vacancy brand of fascism
On the rookery gates to skid row
While the arterial Cathedral
For her sacramental corpuscles
Is reconsecrated to Aphrodite
