Freddie Robinson Jr. Poet Ode

Menthol Breakdown

Warlords love the crack cackling sound ...
faint vapors smelled worldwide, 
when twine toking on the choking peace pipe

Lying lips huffing and puffing,
blowing smoke out the barrel rear end

Frontal sphincter holes
open and close ... 
Pre-negotiated spoils fanning the wind

Rub two cancer sticks together,
to start a third global forest fire blazing

Twin Smoky Bear false witnesses,
like Pilate and Herod — 
Duo hardcore sworn enemies 
becoming so Maryjane  best bud friends

Truth is a menthol breakdown,
a Kool summer breeze on a hot, Camel caravan night
Warning of mirage oasis whisperings
filling the Death Valley desert air with nuclear fright

Warlords love doing the iron lung Scorpion crawl,
passing the slim peace pipe inside of the toilet stall

Flushing nicotine hope down the porcelain drain;
huffing and puffing, 
with covetous tar face delight
Singing with ember glee in the Inferno dire reign

Smoking jacket pleasure
fills talky polluted atmosphere 
with syrupy cough pain

Paranoia beyond measure,
empties womb palpitating fear:  
Tick  tick  puffer insane

Warlords love the milk poppy urn sound,
silent nods heard worldwide ... 
when dumping vow ashes from the peace pipe

Truth is a menthol breakdown,
a Marlboro spring breeze on a cold, Salem witch night
Warning of hibernating pyre whisperings
filling the Negev autumn air with nuclear winter fright

Warlords love the crack cackling sound ...
vaporized air felt worldwide, 
when chain toking on the cranium choking peace pipe

Lying lips huffing and puffing,
blowing idol smoke out the gunny shark rear end

Sphincter jaw Pinocchio nose
open and close ... 
Fungi ‘shroom spittle spores make the sky darken

Warlords love the crystal meth blurb sound,
LSD plan heard dark web worldwide ... 
Life-Stopping Detonations 
be brimstone smoke coming from a broken peace pipe

James Inman September 24, 2018 at 12:19 PM A powerful write Freddie. I'm not sure I completely understand the nuances of it but the overall intent appears to deal with the destruction of ourselves in the use of substances that are promoted by big business and illegal syndicates that thrive on the destruction of society, very thought provoking.
