Jumbled Words

Who in their right mind wants to hear jumbled words
tumbled turds baking in the desert sun
pay dirt run, that children gather for fuel
poor mule gets used from both ends.
Growth tends to be slow here.
Show fear and they’ll get you.
Bet two wives on the end of times oil races
loyal places disappeared into tribal dumping
Bible thumping Americanic way through.
Hey you! Didn’t you hear me? I said Halt!
Dead fault free from army’s saying so
praying though, it doesn't seem to matter
go scatter your seeds through Bin Laddin
In Aladdin’s story there was a lamp found
camp ground of refugees could sure use that now
fat cow sacredly slaughtered for meat
to treat the Old boys to McDonalds “Have it your way”
Shore stay for the Unified militaries fine elite
Mine street bombs for babies to destroy hope
deploy dope amoung the migrants roaming free
homing fee for the disenfranchised bomb outs
calm bouts of peace talks end in delusions
thin confusions and parodies of pain left marking
deft parking of military machine made in the Ukraine
to train the children to kill time with the ever living
never forgiving themselves the sins of their fathers
care bothers and compassion removed from their brains
fair rains may come again to wash the blood of innocence
commonsense dictates we abate the situation here
frustration fear of a never ending hell hold of strategic points
paraplegic joints cramped into wheelchairs to race against time
condensed rhyme trying to capture understanding
notwithstanding rational thinking workers of the light kind
who in their right mind.....wants to hear.... Jumbled words.


This came about from a game we have going on FB in Mad Poets Society where we have to
start a poem with the last line of the previous poem. 
For this one I rhymed the first 2 words of each line with the last two words of the
previous sentence to create a word jumble as the line I had to work with suggested. It was
fun.

Krow right on - sounds kind of cool to me - Awhile back I believe it was Karen O'Leary had one going where she started the poem and then who ever read it next put in the next line - Turned out rather well as I recall - God Bless, MJ
