Current Events


Frozen pants dance stiffly
to the mad beat of sapless
drumsticks choreographed
by a wicked whimsy of the
winds baton.  Birds cling
tightly knowing that if the
gale subsides for but a moment
they will fall over, be blown
like feathered fur balls on
lone unchartered trips.  Cats
hiss in meek response...

Between
headland and
headland currents, strong, 
circle, swirl, 
swivel
and catapult
themselves around around.

Between 
headland and
headland the distance
never lessens
but
grows year 
by year leaving 
between them
cold 
steel
sea....

Do you think I care 
For your phony Arab spring
And dead trees and hot wind
I have never seen a spring without seed popping from the soil
I should know I am made from the dust of the earth
Spring must have rain and bring flowers
Like the peace...

** Current Events Knelling **


Ignorance and evil remain — it’s easy to tell —
Around the world, still alive and well
No matter how much we pray, scream and yell,
“Please!  Learn something from history, not pell-mell,
Before those ego’s ideas devour us all cell by cell.

My Latest Current Events Poetry

Trump like Pinocchio lied and nose did protrude,
And many people it appeared he would delude;
Even we knew,
Scheme up brew;
With jaundiced eye witnesses and rivals viewed.

We wonder who next by Trump would be fired;
He desired another nitwit that should be hired;
Would you...

One day an evil man came to them in sheep’s clothing,
To lead them into his evil ways he was hoping.
So treacherous and evil was this ravenous wolf,
Feeding off of their ignorance while he played golf.
So fine he was in the art of deception,
So ignorant were...

*** Truly? ***

As Trump continues trying to explain,
And science will truly someday 
Get it right to prove:
That life is a matter of enchantment,
That mirrors do know
  Who is the fairest of them all;
 That any “Save the Earth” green 
Movement is voiced by the...

The 2nd Trump Presidency Begins

To express my own Whitmanesque
"barbaric yawp", constrained by
internal (and external) barriers,
mentally constipated, I merely mutter,
feel pressures steadily mounting.
Hesitant, I expel grunts and breaths --
disinhibit streams of consciousness,
encourage verbal fluidity, ease
the heaviness I feel, the weight
upon my chest.  I breathe deeply.
Physiological...

This isn't the middle the beginning or the end
This is the middle of the beginning of the end
acting like children 
Don't try to pretend
you can't see
  The hidden agenda 
within 
They're telling us lies
and feeding us sin
Structurally damaged 
you're letting them win 
Unite we must
Divided...

Warsaw 1940 certain inhabitants designated
A health risk were ordered to strip naked
Had to shower to become clean this ploy
Caused public humiliation, and showed
Dominence there was also mass quarrantine
Also to your own house that was
Useless in its 'so called mission' 
And in fact caused a rise...

Percolating, who  we,  I’m  just  relating
Relaying the  conveying of  alarming  apex
Son’s getting  hotter,  sending  flares, scorching heirs
The roof  is  on  fire,  but  folks serving  gas in meme
Unleaded or maybe...

Kellyanne and George Conway:
One lauds Trump in every way.
One says he’s a damn freak show.
How they’re married, I don’t know....
