Train Disaster, East Palestine, Ohio
Twenty days Ago.
Pete Buttigieg- Where Are You?
Doesn’t he care one bit if they eat.
East Palestine,filled with poisons
Hands swollen,crimson red from acid toxins
So what if they cannot breathe?
Who cares if carcinogens fill their lungs?
Or, they have safe water to drink, not!
The American President with Zelensky
has glasses of champagne to clink.
And a gift of Five Hundred Million,with a
warm handshake and a wink.
Three thousand, five hundred animals dead
in East Palestine lie.
But the world weeps over a dead whale?
And humanity cheers, as ‘Air Farce One’ flies!
**Pete Buttigieg is Secretary of State of the USA,
no experience . But can play the piano well and
speak fluent Norwegian. **
God Bless the citizens of Ohio, whose air
and water are not yet tested by FEMA.
Let that happen to DC. New York or Chicago?
FEMA could not get there fast enough!

Ever since day one
Even when I was way young
People so quick to say some
Different places we came from
Wisen up, don't play dumb
Hard days may come
Will or won't find out what your really made of
Remained sober or continued to take drugs
In the background, is a faint hum
On a daily basis it rains tons
Far too often I stayed numb
Resulting in the same buzz
A different chemical composition and make up
Whether or not times were strange and tough
Got to change it up, or you'll remain stuck
It takes a lot more than wit and discipline
On either side of the prime meridian
Close and far from amphibians
As well as pieces of snowflake obsidian
Never did good doing the bare minimum
Or always giving in
Among a world full of carcinogens
On course or an off kilter equilibrium
Until the point of oblivion

Inhaling and exhaling life
one Marlboro red at a time
those devil sticks
sucking the liquid from her face
wrinkles that could put a
Shar pei to shame
despite battalions of carcinogens
she lived till ninety five
a life garnished with laughter- love- respect
family gatherings
abuse-neglect
the book ends of
sickness and loneliness
night capped with
a pale blue regret.

He had started responding
To death tapping at his door
Fog crowded on his glasses
He was a medical student
Carcinogens had loved his pancreas
Would you mind coming with me
The growing fog said
Could the young stallion
Hear the mortal footsteps
While making love
With the green meadows
It came to a standstill
The handler was at a loss
Did the green ground
The purple mounds
Lose interest
In the equine vibration
The handler complied with
The animal Instinct
It followed the hospital smell
It pursued the smell of death
Went straight to the deathbed
Breath was taking time to arise
From the darkening lungs
The stallion's nose wandered
On his face and arm
Then it stood still
Deep eye to eye communication
Between animal and human
Smile couldn't stop
Its footsteps on his lips
The fresh scent of life allured him
He could feel the doors
The stallion had opened
With love

So much contamination
needs a close examination.
take a breath of radiation
or a toxic medication
select a name with aspartame
clean your car of acid rain
eat the food with preservatives
and other long letter additives
from the air-borne pathogens
to the many carcinogens
wipe off this and sanitize that
Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch
landfills loaded with human waste
trash mountains growing at rapid pace
fish lying dead from climate change
icebergs and coastlines rearranged
and now in our existence
is the practice of social distance
Contamination of all kinds
even pollution of our minds.

I'm coughing out in rhythm
As I draw in more lushest smoke
Ain't never done me any good
But the Marlboro Mans got my vote
Two packs a day at minimum
I see no use in quitting
Though the way I wheeze in the morning time
There ain't much use in living
The doctors give their warning
My lungs are tarred and blackened
The only thing I see I'm missing
Is the free breathing that I'm lacking
So leave me be to my greatest need
We all know what that is
Carcinogens and nicotine
Are two of my favorite hits
They say smoking wont send you to hell
It just makes you smell like you've been there
And to a smoker that's just as well
In hell you'll never need a lighter
So the doctor's can warn me all they want
If they feel they must
But I ain't leaving outta here
Until that very last lushest puff...
I'm not a smoker myself...
This is just something I thought all you smokers would enjoy...
So everyone light up, inhale, draw deep, exhale, Ahhhhhhh......

Upholstered flesh is wetted with a single stroke
Thumbs clasp and rotate
Ribs click with an enhanced inhalation
Consequences of a little death
Tissues consume bloat
Drain and wither
Free radicals creep into closed eyes
Flecks are swept like stars of dust
Behind shutters wide pupils flex
A peated tongue tenses
An oesophagus glows engorged
Sweet vanilla lingers
Mingled with formaldehyde
There is no tomorrow
The LED red says twelve zero one
Bulbs have soft rainbow halos
In a blur of blue grey
Addled thoughts vacate for one voice
Plasma releases its cargo of cyanide
Knots loosen
A cranium rolls and a crow sings
Dishevelled brows descend
A skeleton is exposed
Cheeks rise
An alternate being rises
A flat metallic switch is weighted
And poisons are held inside
A marigold illumination fades
And Black edges are defined
A pulse reverberates in a temple
A decision is made
Carcinogens are pushed
A door is fired a quarter circle
And rubber echoes on glass
Time for round two

Once, there were buffalo herds,
then the white man came.
All business money-minds;
their hide market thrived
and then…no buffalo.
Once, the porcelain beluga,
numbered in the thousands.
Years of caviar-mad minds
depleted the pods,
to only three thousand, worldwide;
then, there were nearly none.
A-biotic oil hunters fracked
the oceans; earth’s crust.
Cracked by water and carcinogens,
That have, depleted too much algae.
Soon, there’ll be none.
No plankton and algae,
starves thousands of marine species.
Look ahead, fifty to one hundred years
and there’ll be no more.
Once, there were colorful coral reefs,
but demoniacal corporations,
have destroyed them.
Black sludge,
Oil-seeking fools, trusting fools;
have eliminated them.
Now everything floods and
there will be no more life.
Once, there were planets,
in Earth’s solar system.
The great destroyer, humans;
Have obliterated them all
and it exists,
No more.
Someday, humans will obliterate themselves
and then, there’ll be none left;
on the brown dwarf,
formerly called,
“Earth”.

Carcinogens make me feel stronger
The burn of liquor makes me feel cool
There are demons in my head trying to make me break the rules
I know that knives are bad
I know this all sounds cruel
But they tell me it's okay for blood to drip into a pool
The shrink told me the pills would make the voices go away
But what I found, and much to his dismay
The demons made me through the pills away
I know that people love me
Even if they don't say
But I can't help but wonder if I should take me life away
There are demons still inside me
Wanting me to break
But they don't know I still have a smile to fake
Until I find one real
Real enough to keep
These horrors I throw down, down below my feet
All the way to Hell
Back to where they came
The devil hasn't won this one
My King; he still reigns

Dave Grigger is marinating in the tub.
Stopped by the Dollar-General and
got some bubble-bath. Feels like a
a jacuzzi at a midget night club filled
with gassy-ass dwarfs.
Reach for the cigs - wait -
dab hands on towel to dry.
Cool.
Now reach for the cigs, draw
one, like a blunted dagger
of delectable carcinogens.
Got no matches.
The head of a German Shepherd emerged
from the bubble bath.
My work was not finished, damn.
Gotta picket a few more abortion clinics.

Sitting upon these fringes of change an odd precept
Perhaps a bit bizarre their maxims ironic while viewed
Aneath an infants classroom desk while, his sirens wailed
Gazing into this magical glass; holding both, a future as past
Despotic her age of Aquarius ? Phantoms wielding blades
Making way apropos past time's horizontal doors; vertigo altars
Lifting yesteryears fetus high unto tomorrow's sacrilegious rubicon skies....
Wiping the dust from their babies knees; pledging allegiance while hallucinating
Amid some carcasses carcinogens chemical compound, reactions ? Suigeneris
Inversion's irruptive talisman's clan less, love's holy grail; epochtic charms rattling cans
Skeletal bones prevalent hands ? Theocracy, his kingfish in a morbid light; enter, her sandman.

The rain falls down
As the angels cry
Dripping their tears
From a darkened sky
They look upon Earth
With celestial shame
It's not what they thought
At the start of the game
So much destruction
And so much demise
That's why there's tears
In all of their eyes
A green and blue planet
That held so much hope
Is now being lost
To violence and dope
With carcinogens
Filling our lungs
We're climbing a ladder
With very few rungs
Lord help us all
To see what they see
Let's turn things around
And learn to be free
Stop all the fighting
In countries around
We all have a heart
That beats with a sound
Angels are watching
With darkening with fears
Let's not dissapoint
By drawing their tears
All can love one
And one can love all
Let's stop the rain
By heeding the call
Rockman :-)

When some people are done, they ask for a fork, but
I'm charcoal grilled and scraping away the burnt
won't remove the carcinogens
