Sleepy Sunday
I dreamt upon a Sunday morn
to sleep in without interruption
I wanted a cosy snuggle treat
the luxury sleep soft and sweet
"Feed us now!" Cats loudly cry,
the starving hordes from everywhere
just cross annoying felines
I turned over hands over ears
The dogs scratching at the door
their barks and whines loud and clear
wake up wake up wake up
incessant call for bowl and feed
I groaned out of bed
My pillow calling, "Rest your head!"
there's a chorus of No No No
feed us now now now ...
to sleep in without interruption
I wanted a cosy snuggle treat
the luxury sleep soft and sweet
"Feed us now!" Cats loudly cry,
the starving hordes from everywhere
just cross annoying felines
I turned over hands over ears
The dogs scratching at the door
their barks and whines loud and clear
wake up wake up wake up
incessant call for bowl and feed
I groaned out of bed
My pillow calling, "Rest your head!"
there's a chorus of No No No
feed us now now now ...

A Modest Return
The dupe prefers a midnight shade to snare a single hide,
Drafts the freely given dark for ends you long denied.
Doesn’t need your genuflection, yet demands your sole attention,
Waited long to seize your mind, your behaviour modified.
Stumble if you want to, but I’ve seen it overtake you,
Now you forfeit what was once true,
For a modest return.
Scriptoriums in dusty hills announce the new diversion,
The flicker show grants its favours to the picture-perfect person,
Flung afar from every platform, deft manoeuvres make us conform,
We can...
Drafts the freely given dark for ends you long denied.
Doesn’t need your genuflection, yet demands your sole attention,
Waited long to seize your mind, your behaviour modified.
Stumble if you want to, but I’ve seen it overtake you,

For a modest return.
Scriptoriums in dusty hills announce the new diversion,
The flicker show grants its favours to the picture-perfect person,
Flung afar from every platform, deft manoeuvres make us conform,

Liabilities
Bill Burr has billionaires dead to rights, because of eminent domain logic.
Is not justifiable homicide, justifiable, because of the ascertained risk to the community?
-The Midnight Sonneteer
“The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, or the one.”
-Surak of Vulcan

Walls
Look at these walls. They’re everywhere decreed.
Inside me. Inside you. Between us too.
‘tween my neighbors and me, walls intercede.
Houses of walls, fences blocking the view.
South at the border they build chunks of walls.
Hate chunks and fear chunks materialized
Steely expressions of bigoted drawls.
Essence of lynch mobs surrealialized.
A dike is a wall. It holds back the sea
Minds can hold walls that don’t need installing.
Billionaire dikes holding back you and me.
They mask the good; they hide the appalling.
...

Illusion of Dreams
When my country
landed on the moon,
it was of no
practical value to me.
So young a female
centered on stage
for a different dismantling.

Alpha Male
Otherworldly lucid
envisioned insights mosaic
writing clairvoyant entranced
Quill expansive unapologetic
in complex worlds
to masculine stance
Livid thoroughbred
baptised in fire honored in flowers
of past horror stories
Survived injury carried by One
mirrored in backwoods
as night turn dark to gory
DUICE
in solidarity surveying eyes
are of no consequence its personal
Every cut healed to scar
how the star was born
vitality endured unmerciful
To reject what taps my strength
bound to weakness ...

I know it's been a while
But I haven't forgotten your name
I can' only wonder..
If you've done the same?
Yeah, we've both been busy
With stuff at home, and our jobs
I have to let you know...
Seeing your pretty face makes my heart throb!
I thought communication is a two-way street
Though I feel like I'm on a one way
Please let me know if it's a dead end..
And I'll tell my heart to stray..
I use my phone for work
So I'm hesitant to share..
But because I don't text or call
Doesn't mean that I...

Life is short live it
Let's take a few seconds to let what I've said be an eye opener, 👁️👁️ for you to just THINK, If you could go back in your own thoughts, for just a minute I want you to be honest with thyself. FOR you should never let your emotions, and feelings lead you on your decisions. For if you could go back in time and really analyze, the depths of your own journeys and travels and walks. Within your own relationships in the past, for what would you change on how, you handled some situations, rather wrong or right. I want you to be honest and truthful, with your answers as...

Leeroy's Burden
The many stand upon the hill,
They watch as the lands burn,
Their homes, Their lives, All they were,
For it is all they can do.
They must stand and hold,
Thus is their duty,
The oaths they bear,
A pain they choose.
For they wait for the time,
The time to march,
The time to fight,
The time to exist.
For such is the Soldier's call,
They burn their lives,
Abandon their homes,
Forsake their hope,
All to serve the ones they leave behind.
They watch as the lands burn,
Their homes, Their lives, All they were,
For it is all they can do.
They must stand and hold,
Thus is their duty,
The oaths they bear,
A pain they choose.
For they wait for the time,
The time to march,
The time to fight,
The time to exist.
For such is the Soldier's call,
They burn their lives,
Abandon their homes,
Forsake their hope,
All to serve the ones they leave behind.

Elon Musk Can Suck My Dick
The crumbling empire
Won’t stand
Much longer
The fortress walls
Are breaking, oh
So much faster
to you propagators
breeding lies
among blind eyes
keep pushing bullshit
keep having your fits
to succumb
to your master
OH...
ELON
you weak little insignificant delusional bitch
think you're important yet
you're just a little BITCH
I wave good-BYE
We do not need you
we recognize your nothingness
We wave good-BYE
Everyone is aware
of your bullshit ...
Won’t stand
Much longer
The fortress walls
Are breaking, oh
So much faster
to you propagators
breeding lies
among blind eyes
keep pushing bullshit
keep having your fits
to succumb
to your master
OH...
ELON
you weak little insignificant delusional bitch

you're just a little BITCH
I wave good-BYE
We do not need you
we recognize your nothingness

I still love you
You left me, but I still stay by you,
You slapped me, yet I reach for your hand too.
You never said you loved me, it’s true,
But still, in my heart, I whisper I love you.
You called me names, yet I laugh it away,
In shadows of hope, I choose to stay.
You never call for me, that's how it may be,
Yet I write you my words, in silence, you see.
You slapped me, yet I reach for your hand too.
You never said you loved me, it’s true,
But still, in my heart, I whisper I love you.
You called me names, yet I laugh it away,
In shadows of hope, I choose to stay.
You never call for me, that's how it may be,
Yet I write you my words, in silence, you see.

The Net
Majestically spanning San Francisco and Sausalito
stands one of the world's most famous landmarks
and one of the world's most utilized final stops
Who are these infrequent flyers?
These sad and lonely diers?
Students
Teachers (believe me, I get it)
the jilted, the lonely, the ill
so many reasons
always one less
than reasons to live
Recently, a safety net was added
285 feet in the sky
Taxpayers are arguing about it
It's a concept they just don't get
calling it a waste of their money
to save just...
