Best Enemy Of The State Poems

Today, the local daily papers highlighted a man of honour...
Deserving of his honorific title Datuk bestowed on men of honour...

Given his loud and strident calls for those holding the reins of power....
To better buck up in all matters of governance,  to honour pledges while...

The age-old dream is a nightmare,
that has haunted us far too long,
still it lures in so many souls
with the sweetness of its song.
But beyond the simple melody
a darkness quickly appears,
those who preach of utopia
are the ones we should most fear.

It all starts out pleasant enough,
they...

Insect Part Ten

Music is the enemy of the state
Birds sing pretty boy to the wind
Religion comes out to pray on Sunday
Boredom is my favorite color
But not today
I wish that time would stop
And that earthquake began with the letter “R”

Also: Very Important.... Very urgent.... (never mind)...

Roses Of The Field

Village square has flowers of rare coloration
Not appearing in nature
Painted, ugly, plastic without a scent
Aromas are condemned, not authorized by local politics
Illegal in the kingdom and the region

To sell or grow or pick a living plant or flower
Is punishable and the penalty...

Boss! Boss! It is balloon!
It is the enemy of the state!
Shoot it down! Ask questions later.
Leave no evidence for the makers.

China says it’s a weather device
A friend. It would never hurt a fly
Or tell a lie or spy or make you cry
If you kill it,...

Scene 1 act 1
no other scene thus far
the game of making one's life unfair
studied and carried out
like a metaphorical game of baseball
Batter up actor
the bases of society still remain unrealised
base to base a manupulation of logic
creating fear driven gullible fools

If it doesn't make sense it's...

Hate Speech

Outside I’m the same man as ever
A bit older, softer, wider for sure,
Wiser perhaps, but basically
The same cheerful, friendly, outgoing
And compliant guy I’ve always been

Inside my heart has turned to iron
A molten mass pushing outward
With my...

Despotic Dynasty 
Dead leaves of thoughts scrape along the asphalt of subjugation,
but whatever we do we will not climb the mountain of surrender.
There was a moment of freedom, a spring before the righteous, 
those who had promised liberty, took power, created new laws 
and a...

Soap and water are foreign concepts to the lazy
Cleanliness is an enemy of the state
Sleep is easier, more practical than showering
Which requires initiative and power
Lazies barely have the will to live

It is curious how lazies procreate
They don't do naked well
And like the turtle they go...

The room was calm 'n dark inside,
Out in the woods was the fratricide,
But lying on the floor was the bride,
Covered by blood from side to side.

They were to get married in private,
But were attacked by a hired pirate,
Who sailed from Rome to Hakodate,
To "finish off"...

In the lush beer gardens of New Berlin,
fräulein Democracy dalmatian died
giving birth to a litter of surrogate lies

Fourth Reich Vandals with mongrel desires,
now on a demolition blitzkrieg breathe
Wehrmacht vapors rising volcanic once again

Perfidious voices carried on a turbulent wind — 
Fake news is the re-animated...

Overhearing conspiracies
playing hide and go seek
and the shining had gangreen
disguised as just a tape
Falling forever
through the rabbit hole

Tag you're it
now activate your subconscious
The first dance
speaks for me
with a curse to break a curse

The black widow and the white spider
The warlock and the vampire
holding an empty...

Eye Will Lay


Eye will lay my head apart they make it hard for my Jesus to place me together 
again like a scarecrow man eye will lay in an unmarked grave a place they don’t 
want anyone to go so no one will knoe where...

I saw the smoke in the trees
But the cold made me freeze
Snow frosted leaves drifted
As if the sky was gifted

I'm not the enemy of the state
But I worry about my fate
On state fair grounds I'm spooked
To the point where I puked

All I have is this...
