Best Browbeating Poems

There is never an ending
		to the spending
	a world of paper
and plastic to collect
and horde
	clothes
	and cars
	and homes
	and jewelry
	and fine wine
	and paintings
	stocks and bonds
	vacations 
and expectations
entire vocations 
	devoted to 
disguising the numbers
the Caribbean masquerade
to volumes of recorded
purchases and voices 
of invoices
making
	discreet
choices 
all
to extend  
the accumulation
of dates

Dark World

A world gone dark, trapped in isolation
Reality fades, felt is the approaching cessation
Unmatched is this bleak and utter heartbreak
Time becomes obtuse, present fabrics now quake

Squandered decorum, searching for hopes door
A clear and present danger, discovered once more
Abandoned and sequestered, searching for light
Rearing vital hope,...

I 

First period each morning she meets their languid sighs
Their low moaning at new tasks to be undertaken
She must be upbeat, no matter her personal woes,
In her crisp, clean dress and comfortable walking shoes
She steps briskly around the room with encouraging
Words, smiles for the underprivileged...

Besetting the tempest

Confronting the bad wind which blows 
Browbeating in its way everything that grows
Respires tolerance,peace,security long taken for granted
Ousting seeds of faith painstakingly implanted

Mislay untoward weeds of abhorrence,bribery and corruption
Infest human souls and quarry deception
Over the world prevail and hostility nourish 
Ooze into demure...

I tend to whine
it's a dark gift
passed down through many generations
I am the culmination
the absolute sheer perfection
of whining

See, I whine EFFECTIVELY
I actually accomplish things
or get others to accomplish my things
simply by whining

not to be confused with browbeating
or nagging
that is just so...
welfare 

Ok, so I can...

COMPLETE

cannot compete
with dead ends of deceit 
weary from taking the backseat
for now I offer bittersweet defeat
headbashing reinforced concrete
browbeating dusty sheets
heartbeat delete

BULLY- - MATON- part 1


Matón—
Tú no eres nada;
 Pero un cobarde valiente;
 Matón—
Tu elección es tan estúpida;
 No podías manejar tu propio poder; 
Ya ves que TODOS debemos ver al Padre un día;
Bully--
Your choice is so stupid;
You couldn't handle your own power;
You see we must...

Psychologically still thirteen 

Ordinarily meaning pre Internet days
familiarization with me would entail
bringing the avid listener 
into my private mancave hideaways
less a physical place than a juncture in relationship, 
(whereby one or the other of us) 
would  adopt the guise of liaise
to gently coax (seal)...

Nearly ten o'clock, Capitol Hill, inside the SCIF (specially designed for classified purpose): House Intelligence Committee chairman Adam Schiff was hosting an esoteric hearing featuring a deposition with Defense Department official Laura Cooper as part of Impeachment Inquiry into Dotard Trumpery. Suddenly a fit of...

Mediocre son (me) crafts letter to his papa

Impossible mission to escape end of life woe
visit courtesy grim reaper 
inevitable for every mortal,
whether he/she alive
yesterday, today or tomorrow
quintessentially senescence tabled
upended wrested status quo
belief, dogma, faith...
(i.e. Unitarian Universalism)
albeit atheistic to the core

mine temporal perspective yes and no

Donald trump = pathological psychopath

Fred Trump taught his sole son Donald 
how to steal the leading way into more ass, 
though no hint given, nor prediction forecast 
in his growing up years, that would foretell, 
thru base anaphylactic cronyism, egotistical 
gall insidious kleptomania call, malodorous...

Mythologized sun child persona incarnate

Self actualization materialized 
like ghost that came back to haunt me! 

Figurative silver lining gleaned 
from hyperawareness encompassing 
great proportion of my existence. 

Agonizing enlightenment points 
to realization sweeping across avast arc 
(nemesis) analogous as dark shadows 
from outer limits of...

Daemons within gray matter of this male run amuck...

hence yours truly (me)
seeks mental health services 
without any luck
even after reading Scripture 
from my namesake who exuded pluck
after paging thru 
the AETNA Medicare directory,
whether a group practice or individual,
I expended energy and precious time today
June sixth...
