21st Century Indian
It's ok that I'm Native American:
If I am attractive and half naked,
If I am uneducated,
If I speak in broken English,
And sing Christian songs.

It's ok that I'm Native American:
If I am passive and subdued,
If I smile all the time,
If I fit the stereotype,
And am not opinionated.

It's...

Premium Member 21st Century Re-Write of Humpty Dumpty
Humpty Dumpty fell off the top of the wall
He got on the phone and gave his lawyer a call
With help from the lawyer and litigation men
Humpty is rich and won’t have to work again!

A 21st Century Poet
No longer submerged in seduction of a lover's tongue
left hanging out where no word is sung
defunct of function or fancy form 
lost are the layers gradually getting you warm

Here and now before thoughts do pass
free flowing spewing out too fast
rhythm and rhyme left to chance
sterile...

Dazzling Lady of the 21st Century
Enthusiasm, the planet occupied.
As Sapiens lives in rage
Strives to come after 
But all in sleeveless

Hence, in the land of the living,
Arouse  a living Queen,
Waved by nature,
Tormented by hindrances,
And tempted by viles.

She stays through the storm,
Fight for her triumph,
And not easily bothered,
By countless thought of...

Fear In the 21st Century
We have made our God eternal,
World without end; Amen.
Whose emissary waits forever,
On the other side of the door.
Moses, Mohammad, Buddha, Christ Jesus,
Pull a Clinton and define eternal.
The most frightening eternal spectre known,
Heaven Bless the poor who attract his attention
The auditor of the IRS....He waits for...

The 21st Century's Murder and Massacre
Ongoing the 21st century's free style massacre
The horrible morning has started there in Myanmar, 
Satan is tormented by theses and has come down
To learn the massacring styles in special gown, 
But no one has yet directly protested the bestiality
So the massacrers gigantically speed up in...

Once Jessica Lynch of states army division
The sweet young soldier girl of twenty one
Served in Iraq invasion
Never fired her weapon
Honored  first prisoner of war woman.

Wounded with bullets and in tension 
The doctors paid her full attention
Knife wounds bullet none
Only some bones broken
Fake “rescue” shown...

Marriage has lost its security and the vow, its invincibility
especially in a generation so saga and scandal loving
and a society rarely frowning its face to traditional unfaithfulness.
Setting up the stage for lots of pests 
to freely and openly infest in the neighbourhood, 
social circuses and...

The Mayan Calendar, for all to see
the end of the World, That's when it will be,
Some people say, that God doesn't know
just where He should place His seat for the show,

Earthquakes and storms 
every day now it seems,
disasters, disasters
to the doomsayer's gleams,

I dis-remember was it...

Premium Member Arjuna, 21st Century
Trappe within my skin, 
trapped within my life.
I live each day within
the same parameters
of responsibility.
I do right
no matter what.

I've done wrong
believing it was right.
Such constrictions, 
such borders, 
leave me no outs, 
no excuses.
I want to explode, 
but suspect implosion
will be my lot.

Where do I get...
