Best System Poems
Trust the Systemfootsteps aimlessly
walking on their trails
beaten down and broken
shiny as the rails
the rails of the train
over used and rusted
crumbling ignored
the system that you trusted
the silence of conformity
the quiet crying song
of people lost in apathy
monotony so long
the old man remembered
the booming days of old
and tried to warn...

The Wisdom of the Solar SystemBlanketed in crimson, Mars glows with fire,
while Venus sparkles with deep medallion-
The twilit moon shining in fierce desire,
each planet aligns into a stallion.
Jupiter is the largest sphered planet,
it acts as a strong mirrored reflection-
Pluto’s surface is rough like harsh granite,
the sun and Neptune...

Shock To the System
When the majority is accustomed to having their say,
it's a shock to the system when it's no longer that way
Dwindling numbers has turned the majority into the minority
Welcome to my world,
where having your voice heard is an exercise in futility
Go grab a megaphone,
or dial some...

The Solar Parody SystemAbandoned Yellow Star,
Existential apostle.
Solar flares haunt outworlds, "I'm It, you're not."
Mercury, Mary's star loved from afar.
Hot but not the hottest star.
A tiny lifeless star.
Venus will have more sunlight in her hair.
Acid clouds, corrosive ground.
A great task, you won't last.
Mars, Ray Bradbury's & Poe's summer home.
Famed...

A Designed Constructed SystemA careful constructed system
that’s designed to lead to failure
few escapes, leaving the rest
to be taken advantage of
those who escape
reaches a certain level
then prey on the weak
by selling hopes and dreams,
hope and dreams
that rarely come true.
The game is being sold as

Our Reproductive SystemLong bearded men
Each needs to read a chapter from handmaidstales
One in two of us are women
Our reproductive devices are own
Men of church leave our vaginas
Out of your remit
To your dogma
We won't submit
We alone will choose to be a mamma
And mammas among us

The Wetlands
as swallows land and swifts take flight
inside late noon’s last shards of light
the chill winds that descend on day
cause dense green swathes of reeds to sway
across the flooded vista’s ground
in harmony with nature’s sound
of shrills that echo through the air
from birds and insects everywhere
while stars...

whose lives, are desperate and stressful
trying to cope with life, as we know it
dealing with strive, that is not normal
Humans have invented, this thing called money
which has created, the political economic system
that has never worked, for all life...

I Thought I Would Get Off Like the Rich KidsIt was a week before my eighteenth birthday;
I was a drug dealer. Hooked also, but with no cares.
From a small town where no one had any money,
I figured I would get off like the rich kids whose daddies bought their freedom.
But my daddy was a...

Nature ExposedA true angel removes your mask
Seems to be her task
Digs into your belief system some more
Asks how you gained your values, core
I am a creature of habits old
A product of my experiences untold
A book easily read
Raised on biases instead...
