Tonight into the Mourning
Without food
Means to change station
As go the dying poor in document
So must I
The forager
Origin of contempt
Translation of bureaucrat
My headaches not for information
This and this alone
Finds the civilized item
Creating civilizations

Sour Apple Ice
A hand me down
From a news friend
On our street
Whom possessed the capacity
Of a bad gateway?
Please be mindful that the rate

Word Problem: What is the political
and economic
and monotheistic difference
between a -1 communist concentration camp
and a +1 capitalist detention camp?
Hint: Probably the same Body of Christ taxpayer difference
between -0 (emptiness)
of multiculturally democratic
Red and Yellow
Black and White
empowering hope
and +0 (fullness)
of monopolistically kleptocratic
demonically disempowering despair,
unsafe and unhealthy disrepair.

Mayhem in the Bread Aisle
Bread hit them like a ton of bricks.
Bread can make one very sick.
Man minding his own business,
Quickly became a mayhem witness.
The teenage four, like the Joker’s core,
destroying aisles in the grocery store.
On a hot eve, they hit my man with a fighting bag.
It’s all a game…received more than a finger wag.
Like all good criminals they

MY LOVE
My love lights my heart, making me feel bright all through my life.
My love is like music it sings to my heart and mind all through
my mind.
My love is always here seen and unseen, through life’s ups and downs.
My love is like a river flowing through the land it is gentle

The Law of Wolves and Sheep
The only masters of words
are lawyers and politicians,
twisting syllables into chains,
binding the public
with illusions of justice.
International law?
A fragile parchment,
easily burned by power.
The mighty—
America and its allies—
violate it in daylight,
and walk away untouched.
The court that dares to judge them—
a kangaroo court,
mocking its own shadow.
And you, Africa,
you global south,
clinging to Roman-Dutch law,
do you not see?
You punish yourselves
with

Grammatical inference
Advertisement adversity
Advertising of language
Incident of speech
A dissuasive measures rebuttal
The science of polemic draw
From no veering elsewheres
Sound of water as naked leaf
Enclosed is the burden of purchase
Not without
Pitching fluent
Campaign for after
Elect as fervor in demeanor
Subversive literatures metre

Twenty-Four Notes
A bugler stands silent and alone
Deep within the garden of stone
And as the first three notes sound
Echoing across this sacred ground
Resounding in the mourners’ ears
Stir each soul and summon tears
The bugler plays soft and slow
Twenty-four notes we all know
That in our souls resonate
They honor and commemorate
The Veteran we lay to rest
By whose service we were

Expression of an Impressionist
Expression of an Impressionist
"Extra! Extra! Read all about it!"
The alarming trend of renegade
souper spoons ladling out propaganda
cast a chilling, galvanizing, and spooking trend
many spoons transitioning to sporks
and running off with knaves of knives.
Why, where, and when all spoons
got uppity and disappeared
mystifies kitchen motley crews
across the webbed wide world
as to why these implements
consisting of a small,
shallow

Renton
The last line of evening light
Descended upon Renton,
Bent on tranquil dissonance.
Our faces listless and malleable
'Gainst the dying sun on the faded brick
Buildings across the tiny side Main streets.
The pub 12-year-old feeds the local black dog,
Paw to wrist,
With her mom's tired eyes
Longingly yonder,
Content and quiet.

WEALTH
Wealth can be wonderful and a curse, it can make you do stuff that is not nice.
It can control your every move, making you into a slave for use.
Wealth needs attention and needs more, more money to grow and control all of the earth.
Wealth is a manmade substance it controls the flow

a newspaper the guardian
A Newspaper
Once upon a time, the Guardian was a famous newspaper
it was democratic, to a certain extent, and readers are
invited to give their view, but with moderation and niceness
If not, they would politely ban the regressor
When the paper was famous, it was a bit left-wing, but always ready to see the other point

I am safe
I am safe
————-
Settled into
my little place
my thriving community
my group of friends.
I am safe.
I read and watch news of
my city
my state
my nation
the world,
but I am safe.
Activities going on,
rally’s and parades
neighbors against neighbors
war and conflict
hunger and death
human rights denied,
but I am safe.
Am I safe?
