Vanity
Power to the people who see through the lie
Some of us know that it’s merely a parlor trick
Taxes fuel frustration choking out the little guy
Resulting in more money for that wealthy prick
It seems the rest of the population remain lost
Making choices difficult while feeding insanity
Looking in the mirror reveals what choices cost
Realizing we live in a world that caters to vanity

Royalty for the day, jester forever
Pat yourself on the back
give yourself a handshake
your ability to bore me is impressive
do you practice in front of your mirror?
you must have thick skin
the layers must have accumulated a horrific odor of skunk
what happens when there's no one left to put to sleep?
your obnoxious tendencies irritate me and all the others
you succeeded in being, "That guy" no one likes
Here's a suggestion...
stop trying to one up or outdo whatever I or others have to say
it's not an attractive trait
if you can't be respectable to...

the shallow end
I pulled away you felt it you're right
I have a confession I was secure once in my looks
I don't feel beautiful anymore
sure I have a magnetism
and for some odd reason, young men are drawn
but these days....at this age it's a mystery to me
one day I turned from the mirror then looked back
and my face had changed
it provided me security my looks
it was something that I counted on
I've paid for being vain
it's my personality that draws men now
in person or otherwise
it's a curse in a way
I don't...

DEAR SANTA, OR, WANTED - NEW BIRTHDAY SUIT
Inspired by recent Facebook meme which read:
"Dear Santa,
I would like a new
Birthday Suit this
year. My current
one is old,
wrinkled, and
sagging."
Dear Santa, bring me a Birthday Suit -
The one I've got no longer looks cute
Within the opposite sex's view -
So my body looks as good as new.
The mirror's depressing evidence
Is getting too much for confidence;
Gravity seems pulling my flesh down -
Not the body I was proud to own.
Give me one...

The Shaggy D.A.
Famous MAGA piece of shit Gaetz
reminds us to be wise with votes
lest we wind up with reprobates
shaming daughters with shameless gloats,
which speak to his priorities,
for underage activism...
as merely bro proclivities
for ill suited public jism,
of which the citizens have heard
enough to think his word absurd
and that he is the biggest turd
to ever chase a teenage bird...
and if he could she'd be his slave
leftover from a MAGA rave.

Vast
I look into the vast pale blue sky
With travelling cloud giants passing by.
How small am I?
Crows squawk a foreboding language.
At the often absurdity of simply being human.
Trying to fit large ego's into tiny toned bodies.
Our problems pale as to the fate of the earth.
Denial never felt so good to the masses.
Climb out of your box.
And look around, wide eyed
At beauty's enormity in every species of life.
Give up your false theory
that the world revolves around you.
The world is vast, let's ensure it lasts.
With travelling cloud giants passing by.
How small am I?
Crows squawk a foreboding language.
At the often absurdity of simply being human.
Trying to fit large ego's into tiny toned bodies.
Our problems pale as to the fate of the earth.
Denial never felt so good to the masses.
Climb out of your box.
And look around, wide eyed
At beauty's enormity in every species of life.
Give up your false theory
that the world revolves around you.
The world is vast, let's ensure it lasts.

Meeting In The Ladies Room II
Just a nighty reality check for the ladies, so listen up, we are in a new month and a new year, there are little offerings we can give our bodies to keep it functioning, to promote a healthy living.
Happy New Year to everyone.
We are in the season referred to, as Old Man Winter, the time the skin loses its hydration, the dry hands/feet, and crackling lips.
Ladies, to maintain that suppleness to the dermis skin you must use a less abrasive skin regiment, I must add, the proper way I would say, is to wash your face upon your Grand Rising, in...

Your Own Frankenstein
Memories crook a silent wind
in philosophies point of view
of roads less taken
as you lose your youth
and become your own Frankenstein
of a narcissistic embicile
playing the fool

Miss Sophistication
You’re the epitome of sophistication
Or at least you pretend to be
You look out the corner of your eye
To see me in your periphery
You have this look on your face
Like you’re above my petty little innuendo
But when I get you behind closed doors
Your sophistication goes out the window
I like when you play coy
With other’s, you don’t know me
But you know you’re my little toy
When we’re alone you think you own me
When I see you out in public
With not a hair out of place ...
Or at least you pretend to be
You look out the corner of your eye
To see me in your periphery
You have this look on your face
Like you’re above my petty little innuendo
But when I get you behind closed doors
Your sophistication goes out the window
I like when you play coy
With other’s, you don’t know me
But you know you’re my little toy
When we’re alone you think you own me
When I see you out in public
With not a hair out of place ...

Insane, Primal Attraction
Insane, primal attraction.
Depraved cycles and patterns.
Enslaved, psycho synapsis.
Obtained dice rolling travels.
Engage iso-macadam.
Sustain hiero-protraction.
Enraged tight rope mechanics.
Attain Eiffel, as status.
Engraved idol of magic.
The glazed eyeballs, entrancing.
To play spiraling madness.
It gauged dyno dynamics.
Amazed rival, proactive.
His brain, idle, imagines.
Betray, twice-fold ecstatic.
Persuade triumph, reactions.
Remain spiteful, for pageant.
Portray title,...

Don't Linger On
your ego swells in mirrors
deep within you bask in your pride
your self love are like shadows
a selfishness you cannot hide
your charm is like an after shave
all stuck in you on you and around
you look so gallant and brave
you smile with an air of elegance
you think everything is about you
the sad songs from the radio
the clouds of white on blue
the poem about love so true
sometimes you pass by
giving me that tiny smile
as if its a favour bestowed
a smile for one as I
I smile back, but its...
