Forget Naught
-Forget naught-

So soon after supper, you’ve forgotten
Those ones you called your alter egos.
Said adieu and you did not stay o!
So soon you forgot those ones?						

The one you met and greeted in clan,
During moon, storm, wind, rain and sun.
When did you see such last o!
Have you...

Checkmate
Pawn
You've been a peon, lowly pawn your whole life
Never amounted to much,
nothing much ever went right
Grew up dirt piss poor,
never knew the reason why
you were put on this earth for
So you start cyber chasing every get-rich-scam or scheme,
cashing out is a lame loser's favorite daily...

Premium Member The Silk Demon
These people make me sick 
These false prophets
These religious money pits 
These well dressed demons of deception 
Nothing but
Con artists
Liars 
Purveyors of pure sacrilege
Pretending to offer you salvation 
Offering you the comfort of the lord 
For a price 
Selling you a seat in heaven 
The...

Watts Is Burning
Poet: Ken Jordan
Poem: Watts Is Burning
Edited by: Sparkle Jordan
written: July/2014


Run children run!
Run sister run!
Run brother run!

Run for your guns

We ain't backing down
Not this time -

Run through
the
poisoned 
 black smoke,

that
permeates
through
Watts -

Run pass
the
looting,

Run down
the
land mine
streets,

Run pass
the house
that's 
no longer
your home -

Run for your guns
Fight for your life -

The Army 
is here,

and

they aim

Yet another piss-poor dinner produced
No wonder her sex-life has been reduced
Ava needs something to give her a boost

Poor Stewards

Cardboard box compassion,
canned love with a cadaver expiration date
Sub-contract the morgue delivery,
charge a mob fee that’s double the going vig rate
Profit from scapegoating the poor — 
Brand X the Depression Era entitlement hate 
Legislative death cargo transported,
collect a toll fee that’ll be triple the gouge...

Ankle Bracelets

Clink-clink
Black panther eyes peering 
thru the concrete canopy
What do they see in the blood-smoke midnight air ... 
safari sound waves shocking,
moving the ghetto leaves
What do the tree leopard tar-pitch, onyx ears hear ... 
a white rhino with a little horn tooting
Bars and Stripes liberty hypocrisy

Kensington

 I choose the path of the lonely, bitter and obsolete, I picked up survival techniques to make ends meet, I learned life lessons from emotions of death being beat, in more ways than one, then again in repeat, I wear...

Only Blue Matters
Sorry if I leave you star shooken
I’m just doing me
I’m just dancing like no one is looking
All the good things are taken
So I’m looking for great
I’m eating sweat potatoes and success
Man I love what’s on my plate

Hate me
Regret me
Does it look like I care?

Mama Is Dead - the Soldiers Came
I - The dreamer 

And dreams gift feelings eternal 
in a finite clear real space. 
That mountain range is a tidal wave - 
land then sea morph as mire. 

II - The green an' the dead 

Conspicuous conservation, 
small-scale grandeur panics 
vulgar flaunting of poverty....

Fringe Benefits For Wanting What I Can Never Have
FRINGE BENEFITS FOR WANTING WHAT I CAN NEVER HAVE
snaggletooth and lonely
hungering for hunger and boney
in my mind, wanting to love you only
when you pass by, i gurgle in honor of you
piss poor and destitute, my shrine of you expresses from a quiet
place on the downlow
hip...

War Mongers
NO GLORY FOUND
 
No glory found and no guilt ever apportioned 
For those guiding young men to wars uncautioned,

The chosen too often of colour, unlearned or piss poor.
But true heroes they’ll be winning by force majeure.

Ticker tape parades and medals for those who make home,
For the...
