Cytoplasm Poems


Premium MemberAbscess


Simple squamous epithelium
That lines the frothing orifice
Of politicians and wine-soaked braggarts

Cytoplasm
That flows equally
In justice and infectious regurge

Genes
That transplant the ghastly
Pale-light abscess of custom-made drivel

God, Ph.D.,  you too?

Corners and Partners

Time draws us closer
If we salute social partners
Who bless our lives, eliminating any stressor
From the corners

Where time creates quality time
To share
To climb to the prime
Level of the care

We disperse and dispense
In the interaction
Whose essence
Consolidates affection

In words, in actions
Deliberately meant
To invite benedictions
In every second spent

Strengthening ties
Within friendships
Where lies and spies
Sail in the opposite direction in ships

Whose poison
Far from the centre
Where treason
Gets no chance to enter

In a bid to plant seeds 
Whose germination
Multiplies feeds and weeds
That trample affection

Underfoot
Increasing the chasm
Whose right or left foot
Sparks a spasm whose sarcasm and cytoplasm

Weakens bonds
Meant to grow from strength to strength
As evil absconds
To its full breadth and length

Signifying the rebirth
A partnership
Deserves beyond the birth
It witnesses in discipleship and fellowship

As every chime
Time sounds
Spurs a climb
To the next relationship rounds on gregarious grounds.

Premium MemberSupermarket Celebration

Supermarket celebration
shoppers are cytoplasm searching
for cellulose, muscle, photosynthesis.

Oils, petrochemical and vegetable
love: faith and trust
for instance, the Food and Drug Administration.

In America, the custom is
to avoid meeting the other shoppers' eyes. We graze
like cows or wander as zombies to the oldies played over the aisles.

I've always liked it here.
Cornucopia, yes. Also
a place to be alone and depressed, or cool off.

Water and bone
and the known ingredients. Neurons
for remembering, calculating, touching stuff.

I have a favorite bagger
who has the smile of a lover,
wouldn't rather be elsewhere.

Like glamour stars in bikinis
(but unlike tomatoes and bananas)
cashiers and clerks are admired from afar.

Joe says What's not to like? Ice cream, yogurt,
profit, tofu.
To eat your fill is a blasphemy against God.

Theme of the Pyramid Scheme

Creationist scientists who dig
with astro-paleontologists
As they seek the bones
Of australepithecus

Foretold in the Book of Leviticus
& the Dead Sea Scrolls
Sounded by the deadly tolls
From the bells

Harbored in the Vatican,
Those who mistake the accidents
For the sake of unholy laxatives
To be forced in controlling the pacifists

10% of your income,
& then some
The cross holds one
For ransom

It doesn't matter if your
Beautiful or handsome
Since, the endless chasms
Flood like restless cytoplasm

Induced by the
Phantom's iconoclasm
As the masses reduce
To being merely a bantam

Docile & trite,
This isn't right

What's done in the dark,
Must be brought to the light

Stand up, & fight
For the right,
Rise with all our might
& working through the nights

New World Order plights
Will never bring a fright

Fear no evil,
See no evil,
Speak no evil

They're all just weasels
Being painted on the easel

With the colors of greed & lust
Nobody to trust
But, yourself
As one must

In order to be just
With one & all
& all in one
