Best Supinely Poems
Adolph Hitler was born into pain
All he knew was disdain
However, others born of the same fate
Made a choice - the narrow gate
They searched long and hard for the light
Found the source which gave them sight
Blinded by hate, Hitler refused to see
So darkness would not let him be
His mind became warped
And in his heart so dark
A sea of anger grew
Churning the rage he brewed
As he envied the others’ gifts
Spending sleepless nights plotting a rift
Had this genuine gift for gab
Laying low, he hid in a patriot’s garb
While his influence spread
Many citizens began to dread
As his hatred took shape
Dark clouds hung like drapes
Over a country on the rise
Only to fall and die
With rhetoric he mesmerized
Beguiling millions, desensitized
Deception his major game plan
That very few could withstand
Countless followed him blindly
Most laid back supinely
Eyes closed to the monstrosity
Seized in his grip of insanity
Three million perished in genocide
When malice and hate did coincide
Dastardly deeds some ratified
While the world in unbelief watched, petrified!

The inescapable reality
consigning one at birth
automatically includes no breath
oblige premise, whereat
existence can terminate
with sudden,
and untimely inexplicable death
cruel ploy wrought,
whence randomly begat
into this webbed wide world
grim reaper nonchalantly,
asper macabre Vaudevillian
character cane twirled
automatically infers
cessation of livingsocial
with no forewarning,
where nutty squirreled
memories become indelibly engraved
(photogravure) inherently
pervasive I apprise imperiled,
which ever present
unavoidable demise,
(albeit a bleak thought)
looms larger as orbitz
(demarcating sans initial debut),
each subsequent anniversary flies
faster as staying alive finds
every mortal getting
older, where guise,
which gloomy thought didst arise
with the windmills
of my mind particularly,
sans unwelcome thought,
when my person dies
came to mind, while subtle
diminution to exercise
asthma body, mind, and spirit
approaches sixth decade (come
January 13th, 2019),
the harsh reality lies
within this cognitive,
intuitive, and fully
still operative flesh and bone
aware of becoming deceased
increases in direct proportion
as another year done
and all to quickly, irrevocably gone,
when deplorably belatedly
late life self discover
re: visa vis hone
passion with words specially,
possibly, feasibly encrypted
while supinely prone
on deathbed with
onset of rigor mortis,
yet just barely
enough buffer'n strength
to etch said chicken scratchings,
hens forth before
mine unbeknownst cremation
whereat Facebook friends invited -
cost will be...ahem...
(no more than one rolling stone)
presently concludes any
subsequent poetic endeavors
shot thru with quasi morbid tone.

neuroticism
downpour recesses
leaf refuge exits hostage
pitfall disguises
not in use mirror
lain supinely being calm
motion copied cat
intruded ripples
unexpected force a hunch
hissing reflects swells
