Boneheaded Poems


God Misplaces the Dead

They were accounted for,
they were officially dead,
but the alarming fact was
that large numbers of the dead
had gone missing.

Occasionally, still pinging cellphones
were found in Hades, Purgatory, and
other Bardo states.
Olympus was drunkenly silent,
as were almost all of the seven heavens.

In nirvana,
the footwear of some of the deceased,
had been left in a pile awaiting a divine fire,
footprints were seen
as if waiting for a cooling wash 
in the fountain of everlasting life.

The missing had presumably
transported themselves
to some less boneheaded ideas
of the life after, one not yet imagined
by any dogmatic priesthood.

God was accused of not packaging 
the deceased properly.
However the missing  were never found
having discovered their own way out 
of all that doctrinal,
inconsequential madness.

Premium MemberThe End of Moron Mick

That old cattle rustler, called Moron Mick
boasted about his thefts near Sheriff Nick
A noon shootout was planned
Nick had the faster hand
Moron Mick was a boneheaded dipstick

God Misplaces the Dead

They were accounted for,
officially dead at least,
but the sickening fact was
that large numbers of the dead
had gone missing.

Occasionally, still pinging cellphones
were found in Hades, Purgatory, and
other Bardo states.
Olympus was drunkenly silent,
as were almost all of the seven heavens.
In nirvana,
the footwear of some of the deceased,
had been left in a discarded pile.

The missing had presumably
transported themselves
to some less boneheaded ideas
of the afterlife.

Eventually, God gave up looking.
The missing dead never returned,
having found their own way
out of all that craziness.

Premium MemberEach Day, An Endless Miracle

We danced and howled with
with laughter through confetti!
Blew horns and kissed aplenty
Because~The New Year was here!

With joy and gladness,we threw
off last year's sadness!
Champagne we drank, yes some
overly tanked.
Because ~ The New Year was here.

Each day, of this year, gives us all a new start.
Tis really boneheaded, to even
consider only one day to celebrate?
An idea from which to depart!

Get a monocle, if you cannot conceive.....
That each day is miracle, but you must believe!

Mass Immigration

Mass Immigration 

Once upon a time, there was a mass emigration 
from Northern Europe to America, caused by social injustice
and bitter poverty.
46%n of the population in Norway immigrated to the USA,
the immigrants settled mainly in places like Minnesota and
another northern state as farmers as the land was easy to come by.
Few of them came back to Norway, those who did were
to show off their wealth such as a big car,
having a car was beyond reach for ordinary people even up to
the ninety fifties. 
No sane Scandinavian goes to America anymore, this because
politically the USA didn´t evolve but in many ways regressed
into boneheaded conservationism.
Yet for many, say, Latin America where people have suffered
under various dictatorships, North America still offers hope
of work and food on the table.

Eventually, God pronounced.
“Right” he said, “right, okay,
this is a sales glitch really. We’re just not 
packaging death attractively enough”.

However the missing dead never returned,
having found their own way
out of all that craziness.

Africa's Dilemma

Deep down from tranquility, 
Africa feels wretched in bed,
Pillow drifted from right position,
Leaders enjoy country weighted bread,
Demostration always plugged as petition,
Rather corruption gets expanding as we melled, 
Poverty breeding anytime,our strength is shelled,
How do we kill tribalsm?
Boneheaded political preachers accepts imperialism,
Where can I find the reset button?
Will cause colonialism to a dismantle,
Hopelessness rests all-over our regions,
Always reciting that whilst Whitemen fetches our riches,
Aspires for greener pastures in Western land,
But yet we're enslaved with an upper hand,
Till we see broad daylight, 
Africa will win the fight.
