Premium Member No Longer Christian
A call to arms for those who believe
A reason for the nation to grieve
Leadership to continue the rot
Trying to destroy what we were taught
No longer Christian is what he decrees
Treating the Christian as if a disease
If this is the man we choose to elect
Then for...

Ivy leaguers smell like turd bits
Near the king’s commode where he s*its
Don should flush elites
Like what he excretes
Including these ass wipes and twits:

Yale University…J.D. Vance

Washington's Miracle, Part Iii
But patriot fire answered back tenfold,
blasting those two guns until they were down.
Rall knew things were dire, then decided to
attempt a break-out to the north of town.

Though Washington still held the high ground there,
and the patriots had taken the ville,
a horrific fire hit the Hessians,

Asian Stereotype
A pair of monolid eyes, and I’m academically enlightened.
As if I’m some talented prodigy on his way to an Ivy League.
Able to quickly solve problems without ever breaking a sweat.
Absolutely - perfect - in every single subject I decide to take on.
Always an A+, an...

Premium Member Fearless Or Foolish
Life is confusing sometimes
At least it has been for me
I was Mom’s “change of life” baby
two siblings far older

change in the birth certificate
three days spent as Marilyn
then I became Carolyn

not many toys in our city home
so I started jumping off things
graduated from steps to trees
then...

I was reading Rev. Julian Clifford Jaynes' homily,
delivered May of 1919

commenting on the 100 years since Channing's Baltimore Sermon.

Rev. Jaynes had a son, 
a second generation Julian Jaynes,
who was a rather well published Princeton psychologist
with an evolutionary...

General Washington
GENERAL WASHINGTON


Once in command, he boxed in the British 
At Boston where he captured Dorchester Heights,
Overlooking the Brits at his mercy 
As his men took aim with their cannon sites.

The British commander had but one choice, 
To sail to New York to renew the fight.
Where...

Binders full of women; where? what is the price?

The Rock
I sat upon a rock one day, the rock it had a name.
Bromley was magnificent, but a mere rock, just the same.
The rock it sat within a creek, known only as the Snass
I rested for a moment there. It felt good on mine ass.

I cracked...

Paul Leroy Robeson
Prattlers, this voice on stage tenured its talents well
Acme of the art, the rare thespian my father spoke
Ubiquitously your destiny's duality, and swell
Lauding you, my head, and naught this spell broke

Emigre from home tossed on controversial seas, he

Lyrical Invention
Before I say the things I want to mention
I ask you “Please pay attention”
And listen
When I am hintin’
My cranial membrane’s tension
Causes difficulty to spit this lyrical invention
Conventions on suspension
But pay notice to my retention
Of the vocabulary I mention
The incomprehensive comprehensions
Of this poetic technician
Makes many realize...
