The Passion of the Oil

I wrote this poem back in 2004, as the U.S. could not find any weapon of mass destruction in Iraq.


The Oil The Call
The Oil The Thirst
Blood Runs First
Oil For Goal

The Oil The Gush
The Oil The Light
Blood Runs Bright
Oil For Us

The Oily Church Claims
In Juice we Trust
And Oil Is Our New Mantra

Bring Grief To Them
Iraq we'll Crush
And Oil Bless America


Rating to be advised
Coming soon at a gas station near you

World War 3

Hiroshima was just a flake
Who doesn't like yellowcake?

Hiroshima was just a fluke
Who's afraid of a few nukes?

Hiroshima was costly as can be
Who's betting on world war free?

The case for war was weak
Our insanity was epic

The case for war was lame
A thousand bright suns came

I saw mushrooms bloom
I watched them grow
More than you will ever know

I saw cities of doom
I saw burning skies
I heard babies cry

In a flash our creature was born
In the Pantheon of Gods we belong

Amerika the Beauty Falls

'America the Beautiful' was an uplifting poem written by Katharine Lee Bates in 1895.
I wrote this modern version to reflect on the sorry state of our nation today.


Amerika the Beauty Falls

Land of the guided missiles and home of the misguided policies.
Land of the deep state and home of the shallow politicians.
Home of the deceit, by the few, for the few.
Government of the corrupts, by the corrupts, for the corrupts.
What a country.  Amerika! Amerika!

One nation under prescription drugs, FDA approved, with side effects and addiction for all.
One nation under taught, uneducated, with fake and passing grades for all.
One nation under paid, broke, with crushing debt and past due bills for all.
One nation under surveillance, spied, with repression and FEMA camps for all.
And I am being optimistic.  Amerika! Amerika!

One sad nation, jailed, with injustice and debtor prisons for all.
One sick nation, brainwashed, with fake news and Russiagate for all.
One scared nation, terrorized, with invented enemies and made up wars for all.
One suicidal nation, overextended, with nuclear weapons and two minutes away from doomsday.
Sadly, I live here.  Amerika! Amerika!

Tweeter In Chief

He tweets days and nights,
He tweets while brushing his teeth.

He tweets past midnight,
He tweets before going to sleep.

He tweets at the wheel,
He tweets as he breathes.

Influential and quirky he tweets like chatter,
Merciless and stormy he tweets no matter.

He thinks he is the best at twitting,
Reading him countless are sobbing.

Attacking, denouncing, not thinking twice,
He tweets his guts like almighty advice.

Often he tweets beyond the pale,
Many skeptical of his tales.

If only he would tweet with temperance,
Otherwise 140 characters will be his own sentence.

E-L-E

E.L.E.

Gain of function?
Fauci says its fiction
So without hesitation
I embrace salvation

First shot

Government mistrust
Big pharma bloodlust 
Yet in science I trust
Take the vaccine I must

Second shot

Another jab I allow
Side effects follow 
Vaccine in me I know
Makes my blood glow

Third shot

Again they stab my vein
I endure a lancing pain
As clots invade my brain
God I invoke but in vain

Fourth shot

Am I being foolish?
Swimming in a Petri dish
My free will I relinquish
One more dose to finish

Fifth shot

Now and forever
I am a cadaver


E.L.E. : Extinction Level Event!
