The Fund De-mentalist
Grace packs and leaves with humility
Whenever pride moves in to stay...
To show his disability
In his melodramatic way.
He cannot think therefore he does;
His disorder is his master,
Because his logic is a fuzz
Always leading to disaster.
He forever rants of culture wars
And thoughts of love are for the weak
And never for scholastic whores
Or the sophistry that they seek...
All through their torture rhetorics
No better than a Bolsheviks.
Whenever pride moves in to stay...
To show his disability
In his melodramatic way.
He cannot think therefore he does;
His disorder is his master,
Because his logic is a fuzz
Always leading to disaster.
He forever rants of culture wars
And thoughts of love are for the weak
And never for scholastic whores
Or the sophistry that they seek...
All through their torture rhetorics
No better than a Bolsheviks.

an iron fist to the stomach
JESUS H. JUMPING
CHRIST!!!
look at they have
done to us
the looters of the
human spirit
the grave robbers
of dignity, integrity
and self sufficiency
gas prices higher
then some cat on
meth
moral lower then
a female ant's tits
dragging across
a cold linoleum
floor
streets of
muder
schools of
murder
gathering's of
murder
the sky does not
know if it's day
or night

Outrageous
Oh by what next shall I be offended
When drops again the expectation ball
Sure to see my stable thoughts upended
As serenity by the caterwaul
From mossbacked minions of mediaeval gripe
So stung that they as well must pay some tax
When all their neighbors won't believe their hype
And choose instead to cast their vote with facts;
Intercepted, like many honest votes
By Diebold chads of Cossack distortion
Boiled up from baneful demagogue throats
Pitching a body politic abortion
To the riff raff rabble hoi polloi...
Who need aristo...

a mountain town
A mountainous town
Lalitpur is a charming town among high mountains
the air is pure; no need to take a shower every day.
I was going there but, in Rome, I lost my passport
had to drive home to get a new one, which took
time and losing money.
Nepal is a small country often used as a tennis ball
by bigger countries in the region, for conflicts
killing thousands and condensing palaces to dust
covering mountains into a clock of sadness
Cry my lovely, I can only offer my understanding
when tourists evacuate on your sacred top ...

When I Thought U I Could Luv
When I thought u I could luv
U now hit me with this play
U don't see u could be with me
Because your affections are really gay
U'd rather be with a woman
Instead of being with me
Ode to the rest of your life
In its blisses in ah forly ah womanly
I thought I could luv u
And when I thought this u
Heartly informed me of
This not being true to u there of
I'll exit u in much aluv
And remove myself to get some grub
I will never mess up thine
Success to or within thy luv hub
U now hit me with this play
U don't see u could be with me
Because your affections are really gay
U'd rather be with a woman
Instead of being with me
Ode to the rest of your life
In its blisses in ah forly ah womanly
I thought I could luv u
And when I thought this u
Heartly informed me of
This not being true to u there of
I'll exit u in much aluv
And remove myself to get some grub
I will never mess up thine
Success to or within thy luv hub

Kidnapped Democracy
Men who only praise the lilies
At the expense of other flowers
Behave more like hillbillies
Devoid of mental powers.
The same holds true of humankind
For we are neither clones nor droids
And see the monocultural mind
As something worse than hemorrhoids.
But sadly there are those of us
So fearful of the strange and new
That they would justify a fuss
To do away with me and you,
But wise men know this sort of state
Serves only those controlled by hate.
At the expense of other flowers
Behave more like hillbillies
Devoid of mental powers.
The same holds true of humankind
For we are neither clones nor droids
And see the monocultural mind

So fearful of the strange and new
That they would justify a fuss
To do away with me and you,
But wise men know this sort of state
Serves only those controlled by hate.

During the Russian revolution, he went there with Fridtjof Nansen

Jiffy Boob
it's the type of appointment
you write at the top of those
'dumb things i gotta do' notepads
or type into your phone
or whatever your system is
nothing to dread
certainly nothing to be excited about
just life
well, maybe just a little dread
having one's boobs smashed between plates of glass
could be somebody's kink
but it not mine
once in the waiting room
phone's out
about to start scrolling
but not so fast
my name is called
that was quick
it's all brusque...

Heroes Are Made Not Born
The Truth is I am more disabled than him
When the world hears the name Mak Manaka
His work speaks for itself
When the world hears the name Simphiwe Mhlongo
There is silence in the room
Nobody knows who he is
Sometimes his own mother forgets that he’s even around
As she hears those footsteps she fears an unwelcome intruder
Only to realise that her son is the unfortunate surprise
Whose entrance into her space brings panic and sudden worry
It is a glaring reminder of a distance covered but whose end
May never be reached

Convict!
I don't think that it's spiritual to say
There's a silver lining in every cloud
Blocking the sun on the worst winter day,
When single sunbeams are considered a crowd,
As we all circle God's entropic drain
During the storm of ruination's flush
Picking the worst of the populist brain
Painting sweet freedom with too broad a brush.
But from all that we could well retire
If forbearance were better regarded,
As democracy is under fire
By citizens...extremely retarded,
While, with law, we would participate
To see hateful...
