Good things and bad things
There are things, Gaëlle, that are pretty good
Say hello to her mom every day,
Say hello to the nice weather vane,
Listen to the trains in the countryside,

There are things Gaëlle, that are so nice
Photograph the Statue of Liberty,
Caressing the cat on his white armchair,
Give a kiss...

Army BRATS Always Wanna Fly High
Army BRAT’S Always ‘Wanna’ Fly High

The tradition necessitates that as a child born unto military parents
Called by the beloved acronym Born Raised and Trained (BRAT’S)
Be always on the spotlight as they augment and compliment
The guys in uniform ever shifting from one place to another
Military BRAT’S...

Equality
 Equality 
  I am really sick and tired of living in disgrace 
Police officers killing people who they think are of an inferior race
The patriarchal hierarchy that is destroying our fate, 
It's time we step aside and let women rise to the plate
Realize...

Premium Member Extinction
Extinction For Contest

Extinction is a word that no one really wants to hear
What celebrities wear, is what captures the publics ear.

Truth is often ignored, viewed as dirt, so it's swept under the rug
Facts about the earth's destruction are met with apathetic shrugs.

No one wants to...

A Magna Carta For the Web
We live in a pluralistic world and society, 
Where there's many diverse groups: 
Different communities and religions -
About that you can't go through any hoops. 

The web should enable all to function, 
Free, empower and give identity; 
Speech and spoken language are not certified, 
So...

Criminister
Im in prison for commiting a crime
taking things that were not mine,
i went out into the general public,
and stole things from a random subject.
I hold up my hands and take the blame,
my picture in paper to add to my shame.

I realise now i went about...

The Song of Great Billionaire
There was a great businessman from Kyrgyzstan 
that earned money extremely fast,
gone far ahead from  Bill Gates, Donald Trumps and Lee Hant,
from Arabian sheikhs and Russian oligarchs,
sucked money from oil and gas tubes, 
even the richest man in the planet, mister Putin,
who has ...

Dinosaurs V Meteor: the Rematch
They said that it could not be done
They warned it would go wrong
Debates were held across the globe
Discussions tough and long

Science won with madcap plans
To change the world forever
They cloned a bunch of dinosaurs
And made them really clever

The end result as you’d expect
The Dinos knew...

Tole Boof
on confessional summer streets of city
the heat scums in like a churlish treacle
in back of the five and dime bodies drift by
cotton barely captures their hides of leather
mock they come feasting their eyes the uninspired the unenjoyed
skin like twined roe on inelegant hilltables of humping...

Sandy Hook and Gun Laws
(1/18/13)

gone are the mom and pop stores that i once knew
candy stores , malt shops,newspaper and magazine stands too.
life was so much simpler then, you knew your neighbors
and had a lot of friends.

schools were for learning, and where kids could go to play
now you don't...

Earth Vs Us
We are losing a war with the earth, that we started
So many creatures becoming the dearly departed
Cut down so many trees, we're raising degrees
Throw some money at a problem the publics appeased
But that doesn't cut it. You know when you'll care?
When the government starts charging...

Stupid Like a Fox
I've got something wrapped 
around my finger
It's to remember my phones tapped
and to be wary of the stranger wanting only to linger

I've got a penny
for my thoughts
It's for the boatman
when they silence my opposing thoughts

I wish I could fly
off to Dublin
And free myself from the...

Field Daze For Bookworms
Cabin Fever door closes five dollars,
a-Bag Used Book Sale
Sunday, February 23, 2020
hence less than twenty four hours
before avid readers bewail
foregoing scampering across Hillandale
vital poetic proclamation

yours truly doth broadcast,
albeit apologize short notice,
while courtesy warden
at Highland Manor Jail
gave scant time regarding
voluntary convict generic male
i.e. hastily dash off...

Fresh Air
Shivers fall threw my body in oz
The doors were once thought to have locks
The unreachable stays in the distance
Scripts my peers had once written are now in the trash
Who are you to tell me who to be? How to act?
Im my own person, and ill...

Life Or Death
Being the best means being different
So I grow bold as grow wisedom
Say its foolish to believe in fiction
And to put faith in religion, your decision
But any reason given 
Not to do something positive, is only an excuse
So this is for the publics use, not for...
