Best Grift Poems

Riding off into the Ivory Palace sunset,
in a pitch-black limousine, no less

Hear the heavy metallic chariot roar,
leaving exacerbated fumes echo deplored

Aural palette, enamel pestilent pain 
on burnt crimson background grain

Scorching prairie brush fire
was the cruel comfort desire

It’s aghast portrait in pandemic grief,
pyramid scheme exit of...

Thar was nae richt ae laddie sair
wha heft a cave 'side Galloway,
wi' nae jaiken he griftit dare
as he was nae tae lippen tae.

Ill-naitur'd  fishwife he haud in wi',
the twa 'greed tae gang the'gither.
She haud her tryst, an' haud her wheesht,
his ill-duin vext her wi'...

Be not soft upon the morrow
For the maliciousness it contrives.
The future beckons unending sorrow
To gamely catch the vulture's eye.

'Tis the destiny of mice and men
To be laid waste by nature's curse.
Where foolishness belied of ink and pen
Will by the margins burst.

Persist not in vacuous dreaming
To...

It's not personal; it's business,
says the service guy gouging you.
Knowing you'll begrudgingly pay;
they keep squeezing until you're broke.

You cringe inside each time you hear;
it's not personal; it's business.
And your payment barely impacts
the amount owed on their ledger.

With no job, you live off food banks;
and grift...

See-through


The heart so desperately hidden 
Quiet emotions betray your face 
From hope and apprehension 
Your mask shifts out of place 
While pride contorts your vision 
A simple act prepared in haste 
Subtle hints reveal the tension 
Oblivious tells perceived as grace 
I see you just...

MALEDICTION

Evil in nature

Evil in influence

And evil in effect.

Becoming necessary

Baleful beast – filled full of ill-will

Greed seeps through the pours and infects

I – incarnated nemesis

Your Created adversary

Invented rivalry

An enmity prognosis

A new language my malaise reflects

Malign plots

Predetermined death

Predictive obituary

A murderous grift.

My corrupted destiny

Rank!

Like a malodorous crotch

Your sadistic...

she has blisters on the soul of her feet and cuts along her veins 
oozing pain from the sores that cover her body
a lost soul living in the streets 
digging in dumpsters for food to eat
rain pouring down her frail body soaked 
sneezing and coughing...

Hello and so
How are you
You you you
Cats and pills
All the ills
Of being still
Playing games
Naming names
It's all the same
Shame, shame, shame.
Love and lust
Who can you trust? 
Prepare for the just.
Look at the state
Of the union relate
To the god who leaves us
To free will and fate.
Give me...

While we dwell to this dreidel,
I seek to know before a sear,
Even in the most ineluctable dandle,
The fruit to which may indeed bear;
In the imbue oblivion, I tell a riddle,
Most morass yet merely in fear,
For the sake of fiduciary wheedle,
Let me share with you my...

Seduced by the $ubtil $ound



Put your elephant ear to the ground,
and listen pachyderm carefully
Do you hear the err stampede sound ...
stimulus assisted thievery deed

There’s been a clandestine meeting
at the Guv’s backroom, ivory Oval table
Secret society plans
got discussed after a pirate greeting:

“Jingle jingo, ho!
Mingle that death...

As the newly-elected president of the grand ol' U. S. of A. 
I would tell the truth to friend and foe alike and, like it or not, 
Order all legal federal actions against former leaders dropped. 
I will proclaim the cherished values that make our...

There’s a wizard in the Ivory House,
speaking grandiose
The klu 
is in the bewitching words 
he spew

This be the klux of the matter — 
See the toxic spiellage
vapor wasted 
‘pon the global village

His pagan echo klan
got a grand theft,
glib grift,
dragon breath plan

Be [a]ware, 
for there’s

Dumbfounded in the raw,
nerves in neon.
Sin-New and bones quartered by time's animation-
Death re-imagined by the law of Thelema and Agenda 21.
Moments of truth corner you in alleys and avenues in the night.
As they are ritually looking for burnt offerings and sacrificial tithe. 
Cursively-written virtually shoed-in
in...

Brother. O Brother.
   O when when we were callow 
	In days young  Shakers  of the movement before 
gray & silver turned our locks we held in idol 

	Spree even damned were we 

	Lessen a very score ’til callous became un-sore 
away...
