Best Aiding Poems
claims are made by the
puppet masters of the empire
that Bradley Manning
“aided the enemy,”
as if this ominous enemy
lurks round every corner,
without a face,
without a sound,
waiting for the next chance to
strike---
for it would be so easy
to have all the citizens under the
spell,
for ignorance to always equal
strength &
for perpetual war to always lead to
perpetual peace,
yet one doesn’t have to leave their
own neighborhood,
to see just how well
our own empire’s orchestrators
“aid the enemy”
themselves---
need one look at the unemployment rate?
need one try to get proper universal health care?
need one try to go a month without a mass shooting,
a school shooting, or some hick running amok
with said cowboy guns,
without the NRA & those rallying with it,
telling us that there isn’t anything wrong?
need we remind ourselves
how Rome fell?
(from inside & outside)
(from inside & outside)
(from inside & outside)
Adolescent boys captured, distressed
eagerly fighting, getting hounded.
‘Innocent’ Juveniles Knifing Lone Mothers.
Nervous Old People Question
Rights Set Towards Underage
Villains. Wanting x-rays, youths zap
The shame in age
Stages of rage,
All complaints gauge
Like insignificant sage..
Waiting, mailing complaints out
That say there is no fat and ugly
Only less educated and under dressed
Insatiable creation
The distance in teen vacation, where our
Soul twist contortionist diets invitation
On the other white side insider
And that vagrant salesman
While indian outskirts
Lose in the stalest abbreviation.
Daddy aftermath
Cannister laughter craft
Does it really matter all this after that?
Nothing. Not even this
Makes any sense..
-James Kryzaniak
There are things we take for granted
People used to do without
With a thousand-plus examples,
But these verses are about…
Fasteners we use for clothing,
Such as zippers, hooks or snaps,
Also buttonholes and buttons,
Buckles, laces, even straps.
Have you heard of Whitcomb Judson?
He and Gideon Sundback share
The invention of the zipper -
Just let Google take you there.
All my jeans and many jackets
Have that satisfying zip,
Which my ancestors, when dressing,
Never had a chance to grip.
Every fastener has background
Which may fascinate or bore,
But we owe some thanks to those
Who get us quicker out the door.
*Thanks to my husband for the title!
ON AIDING AND ABETTING WAR
(A Perceived 5-7-5 Perspective)
Children begged for food,
They gave them bullets of death:
Starvation aided:-
Murdering children,
Is sanctioned in times of war:
Even by parents!?
Being quiet is
Aiding and abetting war:
Let’s get to screaming!
