The Angel was Speechless

the angel had a surreal glow that astounded me
I felt star-struck; was she my guardian angel?
She or he? It was impossible to tell which.
The angel’s voice gave me no clue either.
Androgynous angel, so I shall call her A.A.

I wanted to speak of the violence.
But I did not want to alarm her.
There are many good people here.
I did not want her to get the wrong impression.
I told her about the school shootings in the USA.
She listened, without comment.

I told her about New Zealand. They had a school shooting once.
They did not publicize the name of the perpetrator.
They did not give him notoriety or fame of any sort.
There was no spread in any magazine about him or his family.
No one raised money for his defense in a go-fund-me account.

Why doesn’t the USA do that? She asked me.
We are crazy here, I told her.
We have a convicted felon as our president.
A man who said he wanted to be a dictator and now he is one.
Our laws say even the criminally insane can purchase guns.
the NRA rules us in the USA
The angel was speechless

Crazy Vs Insane

5150 the state said get him off the street, he's as crazy as can be,
he says he sees spirit's leaving people going into other's you see.

Cuff him up lock him down, through him in a cell,
he's to crazy, a threat to society and himself, judge won't give him bail.

 All He talk's about is spirit's, leaving one person going to another with everyone we go around,
then he says by our very words we speak, to them we are surly bound.

 5150 criminally and mentally insane cause I don't believe in their rule,
they keep knowledge from us, but im 5150 me they can't fool!

 We the people, truly are no more I hope that  you see,
we once ruled the government, now they rule over you and me..

 So no matter how anyone look's at me as if i'm crazy, I will always say,
yes I am 5150 in everything I do in each and every way.

 Insanity or crazy which would you choose to be I ask of you,
insanity is doing the same thing over and over with the same outcome no matter what you do.

 Working your whole life away hoping for somethin better, but it's just getting worse,
I'm 5150, I'm crazy as a loon- but I know insanity is a dead man's curse...

Superhero Vs Supervillain

A fictional facility created in mother’s memory 
by Amadeus Arkham in an island off Gotham city coast,
Arkham Hospital is a unique asylum 
for the criminally insane supervillains.

The asylum has a long and vicious history,
a part of which is dominated by Batman,
the comic book superhero at the top of physical ability,
having an agile expertise in various forms of martial arts.

He faces several mentally sick desperado inmates,
like enraged Bane and serial killer Victor, and finds
way out of hallucinating nightmares created by Scarecrow,
counteracts the nefarious designs of the formidable foes.

A fictitious leading institution for psychiatric research,
the asylum has special cells like the extreme isolation,
that accommodates a wide variety of insane evil patients,
whose wicked plots are dexterously wrecked by Batman.

Bang

A classmate brought a gun to school
Back when my son was six.
He showed it to some friends, 
Which brought a teacher to the mix.

The loaded weapon was removed;
The police, of course, were called.
The news made all the papers
And the parents were appalled.

The child was transferred; no one
Ever heard from him again
And fortunately, nobody
Was shot or hurt back then.

Yet just this week, another boy,
His mom’s gun in his hand,
Shot his first grade teacher in the chest;
How can we understand?

The news reports said no one
Of that age did that before,
But that classmate of my son’s way back
Can only underscore

How we’ll never learn that guns in homes
Quite simply don’t belong
And allowing access to a child
Is criminally wrong.

An Arkham Asylum Triolet

Gotham City’s criminally insane -
like Mr. Freeze, Penguin, and Hugo Strange -
Each definitely had a twisted brain.
Gotham City’s criminally insane
did time in Arkham Asylum in vain.
Did any of them ever see a change?
Gotham City’s criminally insane -
like Mr. Freeze, Penguin, and Hugo Strange.

Arkham Asylum

A prison for those with imprisoned mind 
who left their sanity behind; 
Those who, by law, are criminally insane 
who commit crime again and again;

Those who can swing blade without hesitation 
and take a life without any emotion.  
A "serious house on serious earth"
that houses crooks without a heart. 

Except for the case of Mr. Freeze 
who can die without cold breeze,  
it houses crooks like the cunning Joker 
who can cheat death like in poker. 

Arkham Asylum: an insane house for the insane, 
for order here is hard to maintain;
For even the gods of this insane prison 
have lost their will and reason.

Bite Your Neighbour's Dog

Life is full of “upsies” and “downsies”
When your “upsies” outnumber your “downsies”
You'll know coz you'll go around singing all day
If the reverse is true, you'll bite your neighbour's dog
Also best to hide all the knives
Lock your medicine cabinet filled with pills
And put the key in your pocket 
You can't be held criminally responsible
For setting fire to the mall
Or running amok through the streets
Here's hoping “upsies” are winning your battle
It's been a while since I've called for my Mommy
So there's still hope for me!

In the Absence of Hatred

In the absence of hatred

This man called Anders, a mass murderer, sits in his cell
a gigantic spider spinning a web of curiosity 
we get entangled in.
We ask questions he cannot answer; if he could, we would
perhaps not care for the answers.
Learned men will write weighty books that will create
more questions are no valid answers, but abstract theories 
why did this cataclysm happen?
Forget him as you forgot last winter.
Let him disappear into the labyrinth of the criminally insane.
When he dies, sooner than you think, do not make 
big headlines of his demise.

Nobody Prays For the Police

They'll pray for a thug
a murderer and thief
a lost dog-a rare fish 
but never the police...
They'll pray for 
a two timing ho ho
a mad clown on death row
but you'll not hear a peep
when its comes to the po po.
They'll pray for a pedophile
and the criminally insane
but never to those that
walk the beat for our sake.
They'll pray for harlots and addicts
senatorial warlocks and congressional witches
but when it comes to the police
you'll hear only crickets- - -  - - -

A Whiskers Tale: Watching the Detectives

"A Whiskers Tale: Watching the Detectives"



Her whiskers tickle
when the lights go out
hormonal huntress 
on the prowl
Moonlight chasing 
itsy bitsies 
up the wall
a silent investigator 
tap dancing silently
soft as mink and sibilant 
paws poised 
across a different kind of 
polished slippery dance floor
criminally inclined
researching minds
a baby in her 
isolation crib
for sure

soft-shoe shuffling
never bored.

" I shut my doors on that dark guilt,
  I bolt the door, each door I bolt.
Blood quickens, gonging in my ears:
The panther's tread is on the stairs,
Coming up and up the stairs..."

The Hub Of The Earth, I

Some vehicle screeches toward soundless nights,
a wheel cover errant for intimacy,
as it settles midst different roadside slights.

The decreasing engine roars criminally,
pruned for a snapshot temporal existence,
the bright hub unpolishes pitilessly.

The earth's orphans coexisting subsistence,
under new suns and periodical moons,
melts in a blink of an eon insistence.

Meddling miners carved canyons, felled forest looms,
a blue world shadows as a universe watch, 
sculpt mountains, charcoal skies, oily oceans, dooms.

A womb will reinvent the species that botch,
our metamorphosis cast a new sasquatch.

Follow the Money

CREATION OF MENTAL ILLNESS
STARTS WITH WHAT WE SEE.
PROGRAMED LONG ENOUGH 
YOU'RE EXPECTED TO BELIEVE.

PROGRAMED TO HATE
RIGHT BEFORE YOUR EYES.
MAIN STREET MEDIA 
BLATANTLY TELLING LIES.
WILLINGLY AND DELIBERATE
CRIMINALLY ORGANIZED.
OUNCE YOU SEE AND UNDERSTAND
QUESTION YOURSELF WHY.

WHO REALLY STANDS TO BENEFIT
WITH YOUR ALTERED VIEWS.
THINKING OUTSIDE LOOKING IN.
THE ONE YOU HATE IS YOU.

IF CHILDREN ARE THE FUTURE
AND THEIR MINDS ARE FILLED WITH LIES. 
THERE'S NO CHANCE OF GROWING OLD 
OR... BECOMING WISE.

CUT OFF COMMUNICATION.
YOU WILL STAND ALONE.
YOU'LL LOOK ABOUT AND TURN AROUND 
AND SEE YOU HAVE NO HOME.

THINKING DESPERATION
DEPRESSION SEEMS TO FIT.
THINKING PHARMACEUTICAL
NOW I ASK IF YOU GET IT

Criminally Sane

I guess I once was a juvenile delinquent. Then I became an adult delinquent. Now I'm a middle age delinquent. Soon enough I'll be a senior citizen delinquent. When all is said and done and it is all over I'll just become a dead delinquent. Ha Ha.
