Bait And Switch Poem
|
Rancid lemon rope squeeze
around a rotten tomato neck tie,
crooked odor bow hanging out of place
Acid reflux raisin tax bleed;
dripping spoiled, milquetoast lies
out a sour-twisted, prune puckered face
Tart tongue
sulfur speak disorderly,
dirty saliva fingers in the propaganda pie
Such a bowel movement disgrace
Bottom rung
bung opening vault key
Onion groans ... chittering fermented cry
Boot-licking patent leather taste
Smells like government to me,
corrupt as can be
Dung pile of voter promises,
sits atop a pungent idol landfill heap,
swarming with stinking lip flies
Smells just like reeking government gluttony —
O beast behavior ...
swine odor, foul as can be
Swindle spit vapors perfidiously wafting,
kindle the vomit pit
Sewage waste material ash labors fanning,
can you stand the stench of it?
Smells like dead paper figurehead
government to me
Bait-and-switch fishy business ...
close your eyes,
what does your nose see?
Tainted meat polltry speech,
pluck the purse feathers
off the cable perched pigeon bodies
Smells like government
is about to make a putrid, baked-in story
Made up facts ... maggot video feed
Stale, bureaucratic policy hard rolls
warmed over twice
Buttered late with expired date lies
Served with a cloying cup
of steaming sound-byte coffee:
Substitute truth ... false sugary
Toilet swirl coffin cake,
gutter floss the oral cavity
Bad breath vows made,
garbage hope nobody needs
Government smells
like a morgue dog in heat
Very omit cadaver, obit disgusting
Smells like
a pot of burning bones
on a boil
Bottom lip scum
rising to the top
On a truthful breath: Let me tell you,
it stinks an awful lot
Smells like scurvy government to me,
corrupt as base bribery can be
The lobbyist rats are scarfing down
the moldy green government cheese,
so silver spoon tongue greedily
Nothing like some regurgitated split-pea pleas
to hit the decaying belly ballot gastric spot
Can you make a federal case
of this rank-and-foul flatulent republic rot?

No tugs at his line; it just goes limp
Mighty fisherman feels like a wimp
Looking back at his bait box
Wasn’t prepared for the shock
A gull flew off with one of his shrimp
I was talking to an elderly gent who was fishing from shore in Ormond Beach and this
actually happened as he was giving me "fishing instructions." We had a good laugh watching
the seagull steal the bait!

Bait And Switch Poem

The devil done put a new face
on an old sales technique
It's brash, it's bold
It's tricky sweet
But it tastes sour, this maggot treat
He swapped the fresh for the spoiled meat
Had to bait the trap good,
hide the kill switch under the hood
Alternative facts is the new money wood
This new source of energy lies
beneath methane colored skies
Smells kinda putrefied,
smells like somebody died
Fracked up those new found lies
Alternative facts is the new dung
polluting the skies
But you still gotta sell it to the people
as sweet-smelling pecan pies
You gotta know how to
bait the trap good,
hide the kill switch under the hood
Alternative facts is the new money wood
Turning truth into lies
requires filthy lucre ... this has always been understood
Bait and switch,
don't give 'em what they agreed to get
Spoiler alert: this truth-teller is gonna snitch
Those alternative facts being piped into your homes
is gonna make somebody filthy rich
Bait and switch,
don't give 'em what they agreed to get
Give 'em the old landfill reservation trick;
so when you enter your latrine, you better watch where you sit
Check the fine print on the sales agreement,
you'll find you bought yourself a pile of excrement
Historical footnote: The Australian government removed Aborigines, the first natives, from their ancestral lands that was rich w/natural resources such as gold, silver and oil. They placed them in Central Australia on barren ground reservations atop toxic landfills. The American government did similar treatment to Native Americans.

Bait And Switch Poem

the tarot is a story of the pharoas birthday
4 royal families in hiding to win a war as a gift.
satan was the pharoas name
jesus was sarge
mary the nurse
jesus was hired to carry out satans itinerary to abolish slavery
the death on the cross metaphor is a crime of the century to abolish torture
in the above mentioned way.
the royal curse
a ring of parasites
to get rid of the next...mice eating caterpillars in your body.
the davinci code reveals the bait and switch gimme drawing of the line known as halloween
the killing of kindness at christmas as to why the song and dance
the resolutions for change at new years, is the drawing of the line
realise your allie during valentines
buy your way across the line at st patricks day,
easter is a reminder to change the bait and switch of the name game of changing locations
the last crime of the century is a court game called the name game
why what is named after who where and why
kindergarden cop
our crime of the century is to mastermine mankinds good intentions and result in world peace
when the transaction of every dollar on earth revolves around peace not war, we succeed
global homework to act out the global survival of all worst case scenarios from every angle where the world achieves peace
then do them again
this ends up as a pancake breakfast where we talk ourselves out of a missile crisis
win war like they did in the old days
mark your enemy for death by making them stand out
rush them in groups of ppl and drive their noses into their brain
ding dong ditch is effective
random hey.
when was the last time you heard the mental health system cured someone of a parasite, like ring worms?
are they just waiting for the military to come home and convince them to take medicine
and use those buildings to hold prisoners of war?
practice makes perfect.

Bait And Switch Poem

Amor, you allude like a cloud
To something great
Your name, a promise of Jerusalem
Your exclusive mouth, like water
on my dry lips and deeply vacant chest…
I’ve never touched a cloud
Nor known the inevitable fog
Of falling into you
But now that I know…
You’re not even Tel Aviv to me
Nor San Juan, nor Bayamon
You’re a makeshift castle
A colonizer
Pressing your smooth arms
Tight around my shrugging native heart
At the chance
I offered my hair, my amber perfume
I made my eyes a place to bathe
Your obviously filthy feet
Offhandedly, you spoke of the sea
But all I see- is violence in your city
You spoke of passion as though
It’s synonymous with love
But I see fatherless children
You’re not that man who saves
But the tide which takes me away…
A convincing title
A bait and switch
A hook for virgin lips
And now I’m a bud among weeds
That are due to be cut down
You are among me
Take your shot now
Since I know you shoot me down
Leave me alone, cabron-
You always leave me wanting
And I’m not fighting anymore
I’m dancing on the shore, Puerto Rico
This is my story, here
And la isla sets me free

He always knew
when he got that return call from you:
The deal was done,
the negotiation was won
Sometimes winning meant a compromise
But the reason he was considered
one of the wireless best;
he never used the bait-and-switch,
he never had to cold call sell phony lies
His marquee marketing style
was upfront real ...
he flatly refused to ever false advertise
He was a gold star salesman,
he was diamond top notch
He was an extraordinary pitch man,
big deals he never botched
He had a velvety voice,
he was smooth baritone charismatic
He was king of the cellular,
he could cut clean through the static
When you stepped into his office,
you knew you were in the presence of royalty
Luxurious furniture made you feel comfy,
walls adorned with awards and plaques
Kings and queens of jazz playing,
allowed you to completely chill and relax
But it was when his cell started ringing,
you got to watch a master work his craft
Seeing deal after deal
after deal getting sealed,
you knew right then that the legend was real
He was a gold star salesman,
he was sapphire top notch
He was an extraordinary pitch man,
big deals he never botched
He had a velvety voice,
he was so laidback cool charismatic
He was king of the sell you lure,
he always cut straight thru the static
Dedicated to my beloved brother Lee

you have your enemy surrounded.
realise your allie
place a pile of rocks on the door steps of three people who have caused you harm
put a candle in your window for three days
encourage three people you trust with your life to do the same thing
wear red for 9 days straight after
realise your allie, you have your enemy surrounded
indoor fish farming wil end world hunger
the bait and switch here is a catalyst one must eventually change

nine worlds in my head
how do they manage to survive
the power of obsession
bringing together the impulsive
an obsession of mine
Leading like minds to their destination
blind leading the blind
tight circles of familiar patterns
they weave
sewing the spiritual seeds
that grow to be refined
just like me
precious substitute for confusion
something about the irony
of level one of how we all belong
sparkle and shine
for the bait and switch
of a village too close to sewage
when the winds twist
reality kicks in
we all have something in common in this scene
the six differences soulbound
the irony of the mutiny of the danced around manipulated
not my fault, im obsessive compulsive
walking with crutches poisoning my mind
delusional of the set up
your just like me
in a room full of excited hushed children not meant to tell secrets
consequences of the children forever
and the ones realising previous thinking
of blindly leading
the obsession of patterns and circles
Ironic
Ironic
Ironic
the bells protected for awards of measuring a man
the bells ring and our prayers
answered
on this soulbound train that rings
when he gets it right
good boy

Variation on a Door's theme
I forge the night
forget the day
Ask your heart
If I love ok
A dead format,
do we subscribe
just a game of
socio suicide
No free love
thy bounty is gone
in terms of time
all is deep undone
I hide knee-deep
in a tiny shell,
A moment's talk
the tale will tell
Your bait and switch
says steal away
take a number
suffocate away
I liquid languish in a loveless pause
re-missed of feelings, so un-involved
Keep the faith- a loveless cause?
forever dodging, problem solved!
Never a being, sick saturnine,
with dead unyeilding yet
so damn sublime.
I tell you now, I'm aloneeee;
I tell you ever, I'm me unkown.
(repeat)
All there is, it was to be; all, all there was was is never me.
I watch the world go fade to black, a nowhere place, no way back.

Bourbon street and candy canes two unicorns in disguise,
Nickels for an easy dime,
And a quarter for a rhyme.
Shooting stars and colored moons aces to the heart,
A world through rose tinted glasses,
And dreams left standing gone from the masses.
Take the day out of night and the night out of day,
A different drummer a different song,
And the one-armed bandit takes what's wrong.
A cloak and dagger game of men and mice,
Every bait and switch of hand,
And the piper leads to the promised land.

the shadow doesn't entirely make sense
watching you change from mr superstar to a fly
the bait and switch of oldest tricks
four winds to ride on
heartbroken i will try
to catch you in the rye
Building blocks to talk about
intuition of sickness
the obsession with dirt
becoming the one disguised
take you inside
we eventually might have to see eye to eye
the cold heart of mankinds good intentions
fisher twins
exposing your syndicate
in the gutter
should i stay
and leave you blind
should i go
nevermind
ressurrected lie of what you did
brick by brick
slander the poet

You can't entice this mind of ice
leg locking , vice device stalking
full aware of the ware's your hocking
digging for gold with hook and chisel
i'll put the fizzle in your sizzle
flame you out without a doubt
i'll show you what i'm all about
Think your clever unaware of never
ain't happenin' bytch this losing endeavor
i'll pimp your pimp and then your mother
and then that pimp if he's your other
you read the wrong book now you got took
your chapter and verse will be your hearse
Slow road to lonely , just another trick cloning
the same 'ole shyt and still a phoney
money hugging , cheese grubbing
rat in disquise and o-h I dispise
the way you smile and make your play
believin' your charms will make me stay
Your just the Beast with many mask's
real strength is what you lack
you wait until I turn my back
and then attempt your lame attack
Look me in the eye you Beastly bytch
then we'll play your bait and switch
you outplayed yourself with this game your playing
now you're stuck and you'll be payin'................

I have found love isn't for me
For all of the beauty it has
The pain from it just as beautiful
A beauty that kept me in awe
Weaves its wicked spell around you
Not allowing you to escape
Until now I see it for what it is
A simple bait and switch scam
Steals your heart and mind
Only to have it tossed back in your face
Pain then reaches in your chest
Ripping your heart out in one swift move
Loves beauty holds you in its trance
While the pain is ten fold
When your love fails to return
Trance is broken as your heart shatters
Love, Pain, Beauty,Shattered
Sums up the cycle of love for me
So the cycle I must break
Before a bitterness does overtake

What a world,I find myself,
stagnant pools in wait engulfs
.....a vortex of negativity
the positive having to face such enmity...
Feeling the need to escape strangulation
surrounded by those whom enforce diminution
evil conspirators against loving transition
....only looking to exchange positions...
Bait and switch of a different kind,
as evil pursuance destroys the mind...

He will be taken
to a corner of the world
forced to live without
charged with false accusations
enprisoned and doomed
a fate worse than death
no one knows where this jail is
or who he is
or when his final day may be
the sins of the world laid to rest upon saving this one life
blamed for the roots of all evils
from spilling seeds to crookery
detailed
yet location and time a mystery
codes and signs developed
for who knows what
loving the sin and not the sinner
the devil owes thee
and may try to prove his cunning and sly
get out of his end of the bargain
the wool pulled off the wolf
the tag passed
back to the conference
hidden agendas and full blown sabotoge witnessed
the devils fate here misread
blackmailed with
paid to smile in his presence
two sides, bait and switch
thousands accepting bribes
left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing
lady luck runs out
to give the key to father time
