The Republican;
Here we understood to be a soul
Who long ago gave a damn for justice,
But craved much more power and control
Than the Roman emperor Augustus!
So much it meant for him to be the boss
That no other determinant mattered.
And so with time, and the Christian cross,
They made all ethics brutally scattered.
Yet still they claimed the high ground moral,
Represented by president Trump,
Who's as deadly blanched as pacific coral,
Soaking, in a petrochemical dump.
And if you think that there's a future...
Who long ago gave a damn for justice,
But craved much more power and control
Than the Roman emperor Augustus!
So much it meant for him to be the boss
That no other determinant mattered.
And so with time, and the Christian cross,
They made all ethics brutally scattered.
Yet still they claimed the high ground moral,
Represented by president Trump,
Who's as deadly blanched as pacific coral,
Soaking, in a petrochemical dump.

Treason of Speech
We are jacks of the sabotage trade
Who can't help but to destructively test
All that nature has lovingly made
Including the gift of language addressed
Toward all the things for granted we took
Like worthy schools of untainted thought
Paid forward with a sustainable book
Where ancient nuance was quickly forgot
Or banned by factions of malice and greed
Fostering stupid like it was a crop
That every ape didn't know it would need
Until encouraged to needlessly shop
The sick ideation markets of gain...
Not giving a damn for personal...

Prognostication
Guns and money have much evil to share
As enablers of a loveless bearing
And both betray the way they do not care
About how well we humans are faring,
In our short time above the soil,
Which we devote to the broadcast squabble
Of blighting well water for more oil
To grease us from birth to final hobble.
Spinning along, The Earth will not complain,
But pass along bad choice cost instead
Until everybody feels her pain
As premonition for what lies ahead;
Global glories in ruin and ash
As we would not forego the bombs...
As enablers of a loveless bearing
And both betray the way they do not care
About how well we humans are faring,
In our short time above the soil,
Which we devote to the broadcast squabble
Of blighting well water for more oil
To grease us from birth to final hobble.
Spinning along, The Earth will not complain,
But pass along bad choice cost instead
Until everybody feels her pain
As premonition for what lies ahead;
Global glories in ruin and ash
As we would not forego the bombs...

Used-to-be Coal Cracker
Beam me up, Scotty, on my knucklehead Harley."
Do I look like a papoose or Mona Lisa with a smile
I'm the Lone Ranger and he ain't my friggin' Kawliga,
he is my Kemosabe and I ride a solid white Kia
so get off my Bubba Ho-tep, thinking me Elvis
or eat my silver bullets on the keno table, thinking
it's a Code Red, "riding my pony on the reservation"
smack dab in a bag of Cheetos with your name on it
because simply, you will be dead.
"Hi-Yo, Silver! Away!" But built low to the asphalt.

Get Off My Planet
One shan't ignore bellowin' woods
and obscenities of caging the canary,
let common sense ring beneath wings
even if you are from the middle class.
A-tisket, a-tasket, don't cherish it,
get off my planet you tone-deaf freak,
your game will end in the form of Jesus,
hoodwinked by the Man from Galilee.
And crows will hum and sum it up,
one doesn't Cheeto with a knife
and crap in their own basket,
playing with death's weed whacker.
So! zombie it up, living in a cocoon ...

Cheetos Among Us
The difference between an idiot and a moron is simple. Is the Cheeto bag half empty or half full? Usually seen wearing a baseball cap backward and 8-plus tattoos. They are easy to spot in a crowd at Walmart, making their inbred child push the shopping cart as they check out the shotgun display. They also believe that porn videos are art and that Ron Jeremy should be enshrined. At the time of this writing, he has been deemed incompetent to stand trial for rape. One cannot hide narcissism behind a Budweiser or a can of Planter's Peanuts. Scratching lotto cards while missing child support...

Anthropocene
When all that's done with voracious troops
Is to guard invisible borders
And blindly follow evil orders
From a minority of bourgeois dupes
We add useless lines to a map
Whose topography doesn't care
Any more than the boundless air
Flowing in and out of every chap.
So let's get those chaps to go to work
To clean the plastic from the sea
And replant every burned out tree
Burned by another careless jerk.
No doubt as careless as those who sell
Crude oil pumped from...

World Orders Anew
Age will coax men toward humility
They ought to have considered all along
And that New Sermon Mount proclivity
Was a too fresh notion for heads too strong.
Fast forward to editor Jefferson
Who recomposed that testament again,
Minus the zombie resurrection son,
Hoaxing some absurdly spiritual men.
But ladies as well just can't get their fill
Of "He is risen" as the type of phrase
That smacks of the gooey load that they spill
After idle Priapic worship and praise.
Time will tell regarding heaven and hell
But let...

The Calm Before......
Neither perturbed
Or disturbed
As the fallow, shallow Earth
Quakes
As it ponders
On the mistakes
Of those that talk
But do not act
They do not hear
They do not listen
They've lost
All sense
Of their senses
The mad moon
Glistens
On poisoned seas
As the earth
Becomes more diseased
Inadequate promises
Are like sticking plasters
For broken legs
The calm before......?

Mnemosyne!
It's true!
Man has a whispering spirit!
It comes sneaking in on every breath
Where the trachea will steer it
In and out until our death.
But it's only something that we borrow
Each and every temporary day
To get us to our sacred tomorrow
That we can't get to any other way.
And so there is a magic in the air
That comes down to us from the sky;
A magic with which we must take care,
Since no concept would ever clarify
Without tons of phytoplanktonic aid...
From the seven seas big...
Man has a whispering spirit!
It comes sneaking in on every breath
Where the trachea will steer it
In and out until our death.
But it's only something that we borrow

And so there is a magic in the air

Since no concept would ever clarify

Book Bans
If there is a god, its name is process.
Even ideation will need supplies
And all of this troubles those who obsess
Far too much about providential eyes.
The meaning is clear. Students need breakfast
And they need lunch and dinner and dessert
If we expect the scholarship to last
Or skill sets to remain fresh and alert...
And that is why the Sergeants of supply
Are more important than the oligarchs
Promoting policy which will deny
School libraries shelving Karl Marx,
Who understood the ways of modern man

The Earth Speaks with Anger
I am Earth; I am a life form that can live forever.
My formation is a spectacle to behold.
I am the most beautiful planet in the constellation.
From my soil, humans were taken.
And to my soil, they will certainly return.
Mortal beings have a short lifespan.
I keep all creatures alive for a limited time.
Mankind is an undesirable being.
I regret that man was made out of my resources.
Foolish humans have polluted my atmosphere.
I can hardly protect myself from the sun.
They have spoiled my beauty with deforestation.
My pure water...
My formation is a spectacle to behold.

Foolish humans have polluted my atmosphere.

They have spoiled my beauty with deforestation.
