Yellow Press -

He undresses rumor to reveal lies
this is how the desperate man cries,
Extra Extra he tries to sadden ya,
a bundle of rancor rambles from the shambles of his shame
finding form on a page of purely personal pathos
what he can't have he taunts,
flaunts falsehood as fact in commiserating style,
vulgar and vile such as pornographic propaganda
designed to compell despair with poisened air,
what does he care, loyalty he knows not how to share,
decorum just a ditch in the swamp of his heart,
hurt hurt hurt is the mantra of his yellow emotion
a mud temple is his refuge,
burn love, ravage respect, ruin reputation
is the curve in his grimace, the grime in his game,
even the news stands have rejected his rank rubbish,
a character assassinator eliminated by the Poet's assembly,
take your delusional drama to the closet playa
hang it on a hanger of humbled heresy,
your rusty razor shall not go "haymaker" anymore
remain in your "hayfever" brought on by Truth's retribution,
a wedge maker is your legacy, a virtuous man your fallacy -

J.A.B.

Hi Justin. It is good that I saw you online. I've been reminded of my being remiss...and that I miss your poetry. Peeking into your old writes revealed this. Isn't IT gratifying how we have words at our disposal to do our bidding? And you have done so well, as always with this as you eloquently castigate one at fault. I have to smile and pity the man who was at the receiving end of this masterfully penned blazing words! Awed again. Kim :-)))

Someone insulted, and hurt, a person that I love. He attacked my soul friend in a very ignominious way, warrenting the wrath of my heart and talent. My objective was not to injure him, rather to educate, to take him to school, and to vindicate my Love's honor through poetic, soulful devotion Andrea. I believe I succeeded, thank Deity. I like your presence, diverse poetry, a nd bold humor Andrea...J.A.B.

"hurt hurt hurt is the mantra of his yellow emotion" I love that line. I love how it connects with your title. Your metaphorical brilliance is showing yet again. There are some very memorable words in this composition. I love how you begin to wrap us in his lies and then lead us straight to the end- to "Truth's retribution"..Overall, intriguing piece. Always, Laura

Hello, Justin and my lovely sister, and friend SandyIvy. I find the ways of this feverishman to be the most disgusting act I've ever seen on a human who says he loves his God. Add Another lie to his list. For any man's man who is not a real man:):):) spits mud from his mouth........ Anyone whose mind and hearts are filled with such rubbish, deserve a punishment far worse than the mules forced to plow 9 acres Of wide furrows. Some standards equal to nothing. Yellow emotions, how thin the skin...... Justin, you're one amazing poet and friend. Always yours truly. Keep on writing and inviting. xox*** Love ~LINDA~

It colors everything dark about a certain individual. some people have nothing better to do than lie about others. I'd hate to be this person. hehe! you sure hung him with the same rope he tried using on the innocent. that's what happens when good tries to be friends with evil. Justin, this marks a good spot. I can't help but think that they 'the enemy' should worry, this person has friends like you. next time I come back, bury him and whoever is fetching sticks to this demon. SandyIvy
