Fact Or Fool Who be You

I have seen
fools ranting 
what's up Pink Floyd
No thinkers, no education 
only poets with muse and frustration

The deniers of science
are committing massive crimes
jail should be their only pudding
sadly Covid takes many of them away
I have no sympathy for their ignorant play

the only ones bouncing in their beds
are the scientists
angry that such ignorance spreads
it's always the morons who resist

why do people carry such hate?
to tell lie upon lie upon loathing lie
letting thousands more in pain die
the penitentiary should be their fate

American prejudice has failed us
funding is ever lacking
Teachers who know not what's cracking
No wonder fools get away with the fuss

Science does not cover up
it only learns, adapts and that's a must
over six billion vaccines
thousands of doctors have over seen

The outbreaks now you see
are the unvaxxed injected with stupidity
they blame all the immigrants
hatred always blames the outsider

All in all, stupidity is never very tall

The Unchangeable

The situation in my country is terrifying
I wish I can do something gratifying,
Selfishness and corruption by leaders are annoying,
No job,no food ,no water,in a land flourishing
with resources and its occupants are crying,
Mortality rate increases for many are lacking,
Diseases,malnutrition and social vices are thriving,
due to negligence,misappropriation and lack of funding,
From generation to generation this parasite is spreading,
And the vectors and co-vectors foster by multiplying,
I`m bold,educated and ready to die,not compromising,
but I have to join their party to be leading,
Join their party!be like them!what am I thinking?
I can`t sell my conscience because of governing,
If I`m an officer,I would have risen to do general cleaning,
but that era has gone,military government is damaging,
while this cosmetic democracy is more disturbing,
Divine intervention is sought and I`m waiting;waiting!
by soaking my bed with tears daily,weeping!,
Lame and paralyzed I watch the little ones,suffering,
while a few biggies misuse and waste the wealth by deceiving,
Hmm!hmm!I can`t take this anymore!,it is killing.

Premium Member A Weak State of Affairs

The people of the state oppressed 
should have a referdum by rights 
God given unto them by speech 
words draws the sword 
To back anything worth considering 
on this issue with the pros and cons 
highlighted truth a must 
Leaving nowhere for a reason to worry 
exposing side affects 
unto the genetic code nothing hidden 
as this is an elitist group 
Formed by bankers funding 
Trying to muscle into world trade 
with gmo foods and steroid filled beef 
with ill regards to human fatalities 
as money is the only agenda 
That knows no status or good will 
on the table that drives their engine forward 
before health is taken into consideration


Premium Member Faux Dough

Blowing up things, unfortunately,
Birth’s the printing of endless money.
By Gov’ments and world money makers,
That overwhelm global undertakers.

Yet we cry out that war is unsound,
That it spreads grief and guts all around.
Yet money printed that’s spent on death,
Shamefully gives our markets bad breath.

Which helps to inflate our portfolios,
And house prices rise when their money flows.
Which is a bummer when we are buying,
But when selling our spirits are flying.

That’s the nature of evil Ponzi schemes;
They’re a huge faux dough making machine.
But when interest rates start going higher,
The globalist fear’s become direr.

Yet they’ve pre-planned for any crisis;
Funding Hamas, Hezbollah, and Isis.
So all sides may have weapons for gore,
Creating more dollars; yes, much more!

But faux dough made on printing devices,
Is the main reason for all high prices.
So they help blow up half of creation,
To help lessen that sticky inflation.

But most aren’t aware of the real players,
Who divide and distract behind layers,
With ‘news’ and psyops that raise our ire,
Fooling us to put out the small fires

Oh fie, a poem about money and war,
What is the point of writing this for?
It’s for those with an enquiring soul,
Who care to see that our sons remain whole.

Premium Member List of Shame

You'd think by now companies would have seen the light
And stopped trading in Russia and doing what is right
But many big companies are still there, raking it in
Indirectly funding that war mongerer Vladimar Putin.

See the list of companies above and remember a name
How the hell do they sleep at night, have they no shame ?
Their profits are being payed with Ukrainian blood
Bodies of innocent people lying dead, in snow and mud.

Russians are cowards, man to man they won't fight
And fire missiles indiscriminately at everything in sight
A sign of sheer desperation by an evil Russian despot
But Ukraine is fighting back with everything they've got.

Premium Member Sanders the Clown In a Circus of Democrats

Clowns at the Abyss

I’m not a communist,
I’m a Democratic Socialist
Cries the independent Elitist

It’s a right to have healthcare
It’s a right to have welfare
Yet, funding for these generous proposals is no-where.

The clown behind the podium is a saint with your resources.
He proposes everyone pay their fair share, but more so by titan economic forces.
He hails we all work hard, or maybe not, assuming he is a party to the class of workhorses.

But the political party leaders are less like workhorses and more like jackasses.
For they too look down on their Animal Farm with tilted looking glasses.
Under their more-equal-than other proposals, in time all resources will be exhausted for the masses.

We have seen in the last century the million on million dead from empty promises given with a kiss.
We witnessed the suffering. Excuse me but was there something I missed?
If we cannot resist repeating our mistakes, like clowns we be, looking up from the bottom of an abyss.

Coveting is not a virtue.
You can vote your way into Socialism, 
but you have to shoot your way out.

The Lockdown

Who knew a day would dawn
And bring life to a grinding halt! 
Busy days are all gone, 
Yet we are captive in our vault. 

Streets are desolate and dark, 
Barring the patrolling police;
Stealthily leaving its mark, 
Is a novel viral disease. 
 
As fear of death looms large, 
Shut are malls and the rest;
While hospitals, those in-charge
Bravely try their best. 
 
Monday blues are no more, 
Work from home is a trend;
A hundred cures, we explore, 
Wonder what will put an end! 

Few rekindle hobbies lost,
Some are funding a cause; 
Cleaner air is here at a cost, 
Life is no longer as it was. 
 
Hungry, helpless, the poor weep, 
Washing away their smiles;
Peacefully we fall asleep, 
While the migrants walk miles! 
 
Set aside religion and race, 
Social distancing is the key;
Help curb this menace, 
Covidiots let us not be! 
 
Remember this crisis we fought, 
In every village, every town;
Cherish the lessons it taught, 
For life beyond the lockdown.

Peon Wall

Donald Trump offered up a prayer
But God knew Trump wanted more hair
So Trump made a call
To The Wailing Wall
Where folks bang their head in despair

Trump MUST have his own Wailing Wall
With taxpayers funding withal
When folks on their knees
Are begging Trump, "Please!"
Its the grandest wailing of all!

Rabble Rally

Come on all you true faithful
maga trumpateers
you must gather round closely
so you can all hear 

I don't care if you have to
tell lies, steal or cheat
Make sure we have enough votes 
so we won't be beat

Cause the mid-terms are coming
they’re not far away
and if we lose to the dems
there'll be hell to pay

You know what will happen if
their victory is reached
they will unredact those files
and I'll get my ass impeached

And all the maga's sing
woo-u-wee—woo-u-wee
I don't care if you're a 
dictator wannabe
I'd still give you my vote 
cause you're the king for me
even after they slam the doors 
of your penitentiary

We can redraw the district
no voting by mail
take those who stand against me
and throw them in jail

If all that still won't work
tell you what I'll do
I'll send the National Guard
to any city that's blue

I've got my new Gestapo
sorry I mean ICE
they'll stand next to the poll booth 
they'll check their list twice

If you don't have the right skin
we'll haul you away
don't care if you are a citizen
that's where you're gonna stay

And all the magas sing
woo-u-wee—woo-u-wee
I don't care if you're a 
dictator wannabe
I'd still give you my vote 
cause you're the king for me
even after they slam the doors 
of your penitentiary

I'll pull all the funding for
the old, sick and poor
use all of the money for my
east wing palace door

They'll forget about Epstein
after I start a couple wars
I'll declare national emergency
and put an end to democracy for sure

With all the maga's still singing
woo-u-wee—woo-u-wee
I don't care if you're a 
dictator wannabe
I'd still give you my vote 
cause you're the king for me
even after they slam the doors 
of your penitentiary

If that don't work out
you know I still have a plan 
I will just proclaim to be king of
Venezuela and Greenland

Premium Member Wind Song

“Wind Song”




When the rain came it raised a torrent
music, little by little, raised the levy
light pebbles rolled over one by one
took with them 
all their 
flotsam and jetsam
leaves ferrying Black Ravens carried on

Brook babbling
listened to the birds scrabbling
singing -
“I am the one!" 
"I am the one!”
Fed them bread and thanksgiving
Fat and feathered their over fed pride sung

Red Robin turned with the Wind,
flew red currents away from the Aviary in full swing

Spreading wings, riding on their Wind Song 
She sings She sings

(Lovejoy-Burton, August 2018)

Where is the funding for clean water/ sanitation to stop them?

In Nursing School

In Nursing School

In nursing school they have us learn all the proper medical words,
Because in Greek and Latin we defecate, but we never make turds,
And what's worse than learning about all these dreadful diseases
Is forgetting my English to replace it with obfuscating medicaleses,
Lest we forget that great chemical known as adenosine triphosphate
Which is the powerhouse of the cells, or did she say an exudate?
And though I've been to India and seen the river Ganges,
I never knew my fingers were really called phalanges,
And we must learn about colitis, encephalitis and diverticulitis,
But I hope these germs don't decide to get up and bite us.
You can't find out a lot about someone by palpating the patella,
Not even if the patient is female, or if he is a fella.
And we must distinguish anemia, diarrhea and gonorrhea
From the almost identical condition known as leukemia.
Sex is one thing, I think, not one of us has time for,
For after school it's off to work until you're blind or
Wishing you had never heard of cellular necrosis,
Not to mention the hundred kinds of psychoses and neuroses.
And then there's that other major hurdle called getting adequate funding,
And if you can't get a loan or a grant they'll have you do the plumbing.
It seems the clinical locations are never really near ya,
In fact most of them are deep inside Siberia,
And if out in the Sun recall that your skin can get tumorous,
For the study of medicine is serous – very, and hardly ever humerus.
Your medical books will have you believe you've every disease known
From autophobia to an ecchymosis to cerumen on the bone.
But at least there are no bullies insisting we are all big wimps,
For studying things like urine, saliva, bile, blood and lymph;
And if there's one more part with the outlandish name of buccinator,
I think I'll lose it all and become a hallucinator.

Premium Member What's In My Name

What’s in my name? It’s Candler,
A name as old as English tax.
If you’re of English descent, yours may be too.
Let us take a short trip back.

The Magna Carta united Englishmen,
But created a need for government.
Now, that government required some funding,
So, across the land, tax collectors were sent.

Too many Williams, Simons and Johns.
The tax collectors’ records were a mess.
Ideas were tossed around by the King’s advisors.
“Give them surnames. That would be best.”

So, if John was a carpenter,
Carpenter was assigned as his surname.
John Carpenter of Holbrook would identify
From whence his taxes came.

And so it was for all taxpaying men:
Fishers, Farmers, Smiths, and Wrights,
Thatchers, Tailors, Wellers too.
No man escaped a name and taxes…not even Knights.

So, “What’s a Candler?” you might ask.
Well, there’s more there than meets the eye;
A maker of candles seems an answer quite plain; 
But the tax collectors had other Candlers to identify.

There were also those who ‘candled’ eggs;
Held them to a candle:  are they fertile or ready to eat?
You see, a fertile egg would one day be a chicken,
To lay more eggs or provide tasty dark and white meat.

Now, if a Candler came from Holbrook,
He later may have taken Holbrook as his name;
But if he chose to stay a Candler,
We’ll likely never know which was his game.

But whether my forefathers candled eggs
Or made candles to light the eerie nights;
They survived and made their meager mark,
And I just love two over easy with toast….. by candle light.

Premium Member Every Four Years

Every four years a president is chosen with an election,
allowing citizens to choose a candidate to their satisfaction.

By design, it’s a legal way to choose one’s representation,
this is important to help sustain a democratic continuation.

One of the problems with the process is political deception,
some candidates are only dedicated to winning for domination.

You must ponder the wisdom behind political devotion,
a witness to the politician's whims over their population.

This funding from special interest groups is a complication,
it’s the test of moral leadership because of a bent obligation.

Education and awareness is important for distinction,
because voting gives rise to a positive transformation.

Sadly it’s the hope to elect someone who is an exception,
one concerned more for the people and not a corporation.

Premium Member ''Quantum Mechanical'': An Exercise in the Lyrical

So, so lyrical,
yet logical,
it's certainly atypical;
and not proverbial, 

but integral
and oh, most controversial!
But is it topical,
optical,

even for the intellectual
to see the actual
pragmatical
to its theoretical?

So casual, gradual, 
and implausible,
it’s almost incomprehensible
were it not for the owner’s manual.

It, too, appears eternal,—
not temporal.
Never mind paradoxical.
Damn! it’s infernal...

Alas, it'll be too “illogical”
for the head magisterial,
whose financial
committee might find it problematical.

Still, the crux is perennial:
it’s too pivotal
to not state the irrefutable
with extra audible mega-decibels

if the funding residuals
for scientific experimentals
like the quantum mechanical
are incommensurable,

which is thus deplorable,
intolerable, insufferable,
disagreeable, horrible,
and most unsupportable
(in my view as a professional)!
