The King Banished a Cat
The king banished a cat, such a jest,
To Madrid, in the west, on a quest.
With Spanish cheese and feline grace,
It grew plump in that very place,
Then married a funny in haste.

Deception In Soup Creek
Deception In Soup Creek
There once was a town called Soup Creek amiable and quaint
Filled with all these characters, a perfect picture they'd paint
It was founded to protect the innocent
Where one was welcome to come visit
A bold western saga exquisite
A Mayor, a Sheriff, a saloon proprietor
A bar owner, also a realtor
What comes next you can’t

The Banished
I wait to be deemed a criminal.
They tell me my imprisonment is terminal.
As my innocence pervades.
I become a waiting specimen as deception invades.
I am the hope that they resent.
They were unable to confiscate the hope I present.
I am in this community of the banished.
Our intentions to reignite with

Banished Or Freed
Untether my blood, for it is cruel.
Sanity drips from my veins like gruel.
As my web of failure becomes unthreaded.
I feel I am unheaded.
As delusions that are kind take hold.
Not as strong as the electrodes, I am told.
As I find my desperation to escape vanishes.
They set me outside with all

World is an illusion or in it
Don't flout,

Be firm in

A Banished Breath
The toxic air begins to plow
A banished breath below his brow,
A contorted face the last thing we see
Ignorance thrust by just one knee;
My brother’s pain lies on the ground
There’s no escape for he is bound,
The hatred falls from above his head
Silent screams of the tears he shed;
Asphyxiation by the light of day
The vultures circle for

She Wolf Is Banished
Kind thoughts were hard to come by
After the she-wolves began comparing stories
Feeding off each other, exaggerating her infractions
By the time Grandmother Wolf entered the den
It was too late to refocus the she-wolves
They were stirred and frenzied
Ready to banish her from the pack

Banished
It’s an ache in my chest,
A loss of breath,
Hot tears and no rest.
It’s a sacrifice of love
On a platter of pain.
Down low I remain.
It’s a fall from grace
To a dark empty place.
Disgraced.
It’s a loss of my sun,
A bloody moon,
Banished from paradise too soon.
It’s a why and a how,
A mystery,
To go from heaven to misery.

Something I really haven't destroyed yet
Perhaps tomorrow it'll happen but dontcha bet
Sometimes it happens at will
Though I've heard there are pills
But banished from the Soup I'd surely regret

Banished
This is not a sex song,
this is just a grown up transaction,
this is simply getting it wrong-
yet we don't have a day after,
this is none other than a fight to the finish-
yet we're fending off the dark,
and hardly can speak English.
This is the known world being torn away by the nails,
people making no sense,
and the

Banished Bauble
I’m a Christmas bauble
I was hanging on a tree
Then I caught ‘Tinselitis’
Now no one wants to hang around with me!
For many years I was used
As a Christmas decoration
The children would stare at me
With awe and admiration
This year I became very ill
For ‘Tinselitis’ has no cure
The owner of the Christmas tree
Has thrown me out the door
Now

BANISHED
autumn evening breezes float
fresh through my bedroom
window
birds twitter dusk messages
in an early sunset
crescendo
trying to take in something
nothing registers feelings
innuendos
just hollowed echo
a blandcold numbed
November

Banished
have you seen the man with long arms walking down your street by sight
have you seen the man with a long face because he's nowhere to sleep tonight
have you ever seen a light that shone then taken away by someone Else's spite
have you seen the man who sees the rain

The Tragedy of the Banished Revolutionaries
The Tragedy of the Banished Revolutionaries.
Epochs apart, yet,
bound by conscience,
Buddha,
Jesus,
Moses,
Muhammad,
Ram.
Enduring the whispers of time,
through creeds professed,
sermons preached,
and a million sins confessed.
Though,
the essence,
of these banished revolutionaries,
is ceremonially muted by ritual,
and gleefully crushed under,
grandiose edifices,
that serve Religion Inc.
"And the meek shall inherit the earth",
an incendiary thought,
conveniently discarded,
for the pie in the sky that must be sought.
The
