THAT NIGHT ... THE  FRIGHT ..

         PREPARED ...  BE  SCARED ...

              BROOM STICKS ...  OLD TRICKS ...

four star circus
side show of war,
thugs on a hillside
another killing floor,

greedy men squabble loudly
gulping down the poor,
coalition vacuole
futility galore,

sobbing children in the dust
silent tears like rain,
generation lost to time
born in tragic pain,

greener valleys stretch on out
blot out the crimson stain,
sons and daughters of the fist
hope...

It was a very dark night
With no one to listen her plight
She looked for mercy, but found wanton eyes filled with lustful delight.
She saw her life flash before her eyes, her fright now scaled new height
It was a horrendous feeling, one of pain and Hurt
Alas...

That robot on line is so crafty!
Pick a number, he says; make it snappy!
Or go to the App
He'll get nowhere with that;
He should know by now I'm un-appy!...

Here she comes like shaft of the sun, walking,
As sullen eyes and widened mouth feast – 
Dubbed the slayer of love; the goddess of lust – all stalking
Libidinously like a fun starved beast
Beauty so hypnotic, enslaving whoever looked twice
Ensnared kings, drunks, gamblers and sorcerers
Ducked in...

I'd like a chance of true romance
To dance across my loveless path
A seed in me to place- implant,
But I find it all a laugh!
In splendored lands to hold our hands,
While Beauty lies where Love will stand?
Ha! But in an instant, it feels so distant-
A Union...

The teleprompter tumbles
in the clamorous migration
of doting interns and
banner-waving believers,
as the majority rallies
yet again toward fervor
behind pitch-black sound bites
guaranteed to stir frothing
complacency of thought.

As the seconds stretch in the
arc of gravity, the press core
readies their cut-to-tape excuses
while half the bodies on stage
begin talking to their...

Too many questions life asks me
To which I offer no accurate answers
Not that as a busy bee
I can’t assemble diva dancers

To satisfy life’s curiosity 
Meant to uncover
Why life in my city
Bestows on me a thousand chances to discover

If my potential in width and depth
Generates at...

When she’s sick I’m so in trouble 
Rocks my world, bursts my bubble,
All at once my head is spinning,
Forehead aching, hair fast thinning.

I’m not trained to handle chores,
Clean the house, go to stores,
Cook the meals, feed the kids,
My existence on the skids.

Give me patience, show...

Thanksgiving Day loomed for old Tom Turkey

   Averting the feared axe seemed quite murky

      So he made this soulful plea

         I would much prefer that ye

Spring necked victim 
                  Will be decked again
                  For pure amusement...

Hapless days have come and passed
In memory they remain but only in my mind
Every moment every task assigned 
Looking back its picture perfect
Though only pain is what it brought 
Born a saint though with every sin I become a sinner
And sinners are born only to...

Look at him and see  that he's determined
To win the glories now denied;
See his zeal and study his will,
It is the highest satisfaction he wants to feel.

Father of all and the Author of Truth,
Look towards him with merciful favor,
And guard him from those uncouth,
And...

Cletus O'Toole sulked 'neath the mistletoe

   Pining for a kiss by chicks to bestow

      They tittered as they passed by

         Noting his jean's open fly

Chess perhaps be the only game
That mirrors life men live—so tame:
King, as men in kingdom,
Cannot move in freedom, 
Queen, any which way in the frame!
If king gets no long rope,
Is there any a hope
For poor men worth their worthy name?
