Best Apologist Poems

Tina-Louise dashed into a tattoo parlor   
And asked for some ink in the shape of a flower.       
Much below the knees so my mom doesn’t holler;
Would you hurry-up please, I’ve only one hour.

Seeing as that flower was...

there was a proud resident
who gave her neighbours
a torrid time because she
was well-connected and big

an apologist and a menace
she was a law unto herself 
none could tell her to reduce
the noise her hi-fi produced

from her children to her pets
--all did as they pleased –
her licentious...

Jerry Packard was an entomologist
for which he was far from an apologist.
He's glad he faced down
his professor's frown
for refusing to become a proctologist...

Children of Xenophobia

Children eating bullets and firecrackers 
Beggars of smile and laughter 
Silent corpses sleeping away fertile dreams 
Povo* chanting new nude wretched slogans 
Overstayed exiles eating beetroot and African potato 
Abortions and condoms batteries charging the lives of nannies and maids 
Children of barefoot...

Milton was a person you couldn't help but like.
Almost every  time I wrote a Triolet
He'd stop by and visit and once said,
 "You know how I love the triolets!"
A gentle soul,  shared gentle words of praise.
He will be deeply missed.

A Triolet I've written...

Social uselessness is a virtue of its own,
Those we cast aside, glance at and then away from quickly,
Lest they notice, and smell our guilt,
Are free to live immodestly,
There being no need for posturing
When one's invisible.

Trees that grow lumpen or misshapen
Are left to live long and...

Died in Baghdad, April 17, 2005

Nothing can stop her!
Not a  rocket
or an improvised
explosive devise
in spite 
of her untimely
death.
Just 28
and amongst 
the Greats.
Unyeilding campaigner
with unwavering faith
in something greater
than all the grenades
in the U.S. arsenal.
The greatness of love
of truth
eloquently spoken
by this petite woman.
Yet, a Goliath
in humans.
Her...

I'm not even sure how I should start this
This is a lot different than writing about my own hardships
I'm not writing about relationship breakups or being in love with a girl
I'm writing about the pain and tragedies we're seeing in the world
I know some will...

Instruments of Mercy

Amidst the wailing whiplashed 'neath a moonlit plight,
Against the cowered beast of demons gnashing white,

Angst men in their temporary shanties walled bubbles,
Atheist fated them to wile their skill with steel shovels,

Apologist to the bitter end proves...

Efficiency, anxiety
Result, vanity
Success, burnout

Alienation, disguise
Unconscious, relapse
Control, coact
Apologist: own merit!

Arbitrary, reclusive
Circus, bread
Conscious, blurred
Acceptance.

Commotion, trivialization
Affection, weakness
Love, liquid
Affliction, medication

People can no longer
Human beings.

See the lashing of the Singer,
I think he's angry at the sindlinger.

He finds it hard to see the awful,
Overshadowed by the gloomy belgian waffle.

Who is that wavering near the horrible?
I think she'd like to eat the orabelle.

She is but a terrible Motherland,
Admired as she sits...

This table is for eagles only
where the tough- dirty-necessary decisions are made.
Every now and again an asp raises its rage
it has to be engaged with one way or another.
You haven't the stomach for it,
that's what the small table is for
for little owls to perch.
Hooting excuses...

Number forty seven - White House occupant against all odds...

regarding President elect 
Donald John Trump.

As a cruel joke to self,
I imagined myself as a Republican
for that one glorious day
voting for the candidate
who clinched the nomination
as our next commander in chief
and still reeling in the heady...
