Best Inoculated Poems
Cyber RealHas the convenience of technology
inoculated us from reality?
Do androids dream of electric sheep?
I pray the code my soul to keep?
Does your universe live within 4G
Or megapixel infinity?
Which memory lies within
The one that was
Or the one that's been
Or how much gig how much ram?
Which reality is...

Cerebral Cortex of My HeartI hold myself a prisoner
A captive taciturn
Unspeakable enticement still yearning
Since coming of age to discern
Yet never knowing
Except in part
The fullness to overflowing
In the cerebral cortex of my heart
The heart knows reason
Which reason does not know
Inoculated by truth a lie will...

Reg EversonKitted out with a uniform, I felt the part,
But the deesire inside is always the art;
I was enlisted as a pilot under training,
And inoculated, vaccinated in yearning.
The medical exam asserted no divinity,
And taught us about our own humanity;
I passed it with flying...

CrossroadsTo take the vaccine
That is the decision
People must make
On Covid nineteen
A choice to decide
by the close of day
I have just reached that crossroads
knowing that the conspiracy theorists
warn people not to have it. Some deny
the existence of Covid, and claim it is no
worse than just...

To Build a Better HumanTo build a better human use a robot
Genetics are overrated and outdated
Androids make the perfect man
With nuts and bolts who needs a soul
Love your machines
They come with metallic hands
With instructions to construct
Transgender bathrooms built to last
Humans make great pets
When inoculated they are the best
Venereal diseases...

Osama Bin LadenOSAMA
Obdurate Sadistic abductor as Machiavellian now abashed
Senseless Saboteur with Sabre sword,
Ablutions of wickedness as apology from vagrant
Mercy and peace mixed fleetingly against unprovoked America and the innocents
Abomination of true God explained as religion, hatred, wickedness, murders, and Jihad

Bigots brewing bestial behaviors before innocent kids,
Inoculated ideas...

Brain StormedWhy does the heart get all the credit for love?
By so-called affairs of the heart,
that most storied of organs is not unduly inconvenienced.
It beats,
now faster, now slower,
that is all, its task ever unvaried.
But the brain.
The brain is swarmed
by a scream...

A Nation In CrisisA NATION IN CRISIS…FALLING APART
It has been said that America
is an experiment in democracy.
If that is so—and it seems to be—
this country is in deep septic trouble.
Today, the mad dog political moniker
can no longer be looked upon as a joke;
for America, in its political...

A Hidden Disease (Dedicated To the Victims of Bullying)A HIDDEN DISEASE. (2006 July 2006)
A pack of wolves,
Their eagerness reined,
Like men imprisoned, whose
appetites are awakened to
maim...destroy. Anilihate.
Await to devour lambs.
Pleasure sniffed through flared nostrils,,,
Behind glistened eyes.. hidden glee!
Joyous gloating, Power!
surges at the forth coming massacre.
The innocent...

My Ebbing Physical Prowess and StrengthMy ebbing physical prowess and strength
noticeably decreases in one direction.
I take lock, stock and barrel
to revisit good ole days of yore
quite conscious undeclared state of war
prevails within body electric of troubadour
now seated at his Macbook Pro
another reasonably rhyming poem
I hope to score
signalled by...

Waking Up To DeathI was a starving minion,
questing after the deep highs
of luscious laughter
that slip off slumber's linen wings,
pleasantly removed
from the pain of wanting
what can not be owned
and so I begged asylum of Nyx
and buried my face in her bosom
seeking a bed among the...

Sobering a Happy AddictI was born married to the master of subservience,
fell in love with the master of somnolence.
I dissolved Reality, divorced carnal calamites,
and the raw ache of captivated chaos.
I commanded...

The Howling Winds of MarchThe howling winds of March
Furious gusts of air
mightily blow bestirring anchored poet
sitting comfortably numb
securely strapped in his hard to maneuver
easy bath chair
while all around him debris
strewn helter skelter everywhere
heavy objects unmoored
pirouetting topsy turvy
defying laws of physics
cue Adam Smith
courtesy his invisible hand
eulogizing, kickstarting, and regulating
unseen cogs...

Fighting the EmbraceWe have taken up arms
Against what has been rejected
Inoculated ideology
To prevent perfection from being infected
All energies focused on creating
A world promised, yet not attained
Hiding sins and transgressions
By jailing the saints
Cycle after cycle set to repeat
Medal adhered, firmly, to the feet
Ride on, brother and sister
....ride on
But...

Absolute PowerAbsolute Power
Absolute power is an enigma
He has no known friend here
But deadly dictators try to befriend him
He is a blind cannibal
He consumes parent, friend and foe
But deadly dictators praise him wildly
Like water, he has no shape
He can fit in any known vessel
But deadly dictators...
