Blah blah blah

Blah

should I vote this time
candidates lie all are slime
should I just don't vote
or stay home and stay afloat
progressive or conservative they say
whats the use they are all made of clay
big donors buy them and sell them
they use them as gum and chew them
then spit them out after they lose their flavor
these wretched whores then ask us far a favor
to make America grade again they say
and like fools we again vote for people of clay
blah blah blah
I copy her inflections exactly
we are enemies now
I am glad of it actually
Words, words and more words
A chaotic battle of words
Wanting to be heard
Trying to out-word
Having the last word
Too many words
And all that is heard
IS
BLAH, BLAH, BLAH
yap yap yap
blah blah blah
sixty percent of her students are not listening
research shows our attention span is fifteen minutes
yip yip yip
most of the class is texting or doodling
some watch a video on muted phones
blah blah blah
teacher drops the word “quiz”
a few heads come up
some ask others what she said
none of them know
Fa, la, la,
the politicians stump.
Blah, blah, blah,
It's Donald Trump.
Oh La la, we've hit a bump.
Shangri-La or Mein Kampf?
You need to watch this
Video of Godzilla
so you will understand
Godzilla
Godzilla is a Giant iguana
Dinosaur from deep in the Ocean
Who feeds on Radioactivity
And eats People
And Matthew Broderick
Godzilla speaks perfect English
He says
I don’t care if you were in
Ferris Bueler
Or on Broadway
I’ll eat you just the same
Grr-roar Blah blah blah blue blue blue
I will wait until you've finished that's only polite
Even though what you've spoken certainly isn't right
In my opinion its a load of waffle and blah blah blah
I would get more enjoyment sleeping by far
I'm afraid your talk was centred only about you
Not thinking of others that it really needed to do
Again that's only my opinion in what I think
You've missed the point and missed the link
The applause at the end was a true indication
No mass cheers was no cause for celebration
Please don't get angry I'm just speaking my mind
Don't want to appear cruel and particularly unkind
MEDIA blah blah blah
pixels preened
behind the screen
bovine’s masticating cud
meadows buzz
with fervent grass
lush and bombastic
each host coerces
the baton
mouths go on and on
chlorophyll on careening tongue
resurgence of bile
coterminous commentary regurgitates...
i’m caught in the loop
i press a button
the curtain falls
i sip “soup”

light poetry
I knew muse senses were waning
when I rose so late from bed.
All the world seems spinning
and sleepiness still dances in my head.
Some days life just gets you down
and nothing you can do to change it.
So here I am just pondering displaying a frown
that the day is lost and I just blew it.
What's left to say?
Blah, blah, blah.
Stone pillars erected against the gales,
Silenced in buried secrets deep.
Hurled discourse from crested toppled waves,
Endless tattle tossed in a heap.
Im trying to tell you how I feel
Im trying to tell you what I want
Im trying to tell you what I need
Im trying to tell you how we can fix this
but all you are hearing is
BLAH! BLAH! BLAH!
Im trying to show you what I need
Im trying to show you where we can go
Im trying to show you that something good will come out of our problems
Im trying to show you that GOD has a plan
but all you are hearing is
BLAH! BLAH! BLAH!
I trying but im giving up and walking out of your life
O now the table has turn
Now you trying to tell me baby im sorry
Now you trying to tell me baby you was right
Now you trying to tell me baby you was the best thing I ever had
Now you trying to tell me baby you are the only women I want to be with
But all I am hearing is
BLAH! BLAH! BLAH!
Now you are trying to show me that you Love me
Now you are trying to show me that you need me
Now you are trying to show me that it hurts that I am not in your life
Now you are trying to show me that you made a big mistake
But all I am hearins is
BLAH! BLAH! BLAH!
itch itch itch moan moan
whine wine white wine whine wine whine
obsession, who me?
whimpy whiney groan
tear out my heart - pity me
"grumpalotamous"
wa waa waaaa waaaaa waaaaaa
get up grow up shut up please
want my Wrenna back
Who cares about the slanders of olden days?
If today I say I’m willing to die for all man’s sins
And I really, truly mean it
Would you call me the savior of humanity?
Would you call me the Blasphemous antichrist?
Or would you crucify me for believing too much?
I too am molded in His image you know
Those poor ignorant martyrs couldn’t see
I cannot see how much has changed
It’s still the blind leading the blind
I will proceed towards a hasty retreat
I will be the nerd branded in silence
In the circle of popular beliefs
I will be the gay guy of non compliance
With so called opinionated decrees
I might be banished into the dark
But uniquely, I’ll make stars
And proudly call them my own
