Full-Grown Delinquent
Woke up yesterday morning with a dreadful thought -
fall property tax was due last November and this is
the end of January. I am a full-grown delinquent.
I am also recently widowed; my Mister always did taxes.
But God had brought it to my attention (who else,
could I hold responsible?) so I faced the music.
Went to the bank

It's All in Your POV
How would you feel,
If you went home today
To find a strange creature
Had entered your cave
While you were away?
How would you feel,
If the door to your cave
Had been kicked in by a kid
Who just could not behave?
Would you rumble and roar
Or just rant and rave?
You would you feel,
If you looked in your bed
To find sleeping

Delinquent
Look Mommy! Look at me!
I'm building you a tower...high
So high the is-there god will cry
Out-loud with jealousy!
Is not, could not, did not find-
Smash the idiot design!
One by one by block in line,
Unpatterned and no one to see.

Eloquent Delinquent and the Tedium of the Long Hand Form
The curse of verse, at worst subversive,
Cursive, ad lib, tragic,
The means defines scenes, supreme beings let off steam,
Beauty queens daydream of magic.
Sense of place, being part of the tribe,
Strangers for whom, in that moment, we'd die,
Hypnotised by the lies,
Buy the lies, Buy Buy BUY.
They say that language makes these creatures noble,
(Though global, antisocial music

Fun: Delinquent Factory
It once housed bowels of cars in this town,
Carcasses on the ground,
It cannibalized every bit of machine,
And fed the hungry crowd,
Til now, shades of blue and fired up pink,
Splash the walls of steel,
Inside this tortured derelict plant,
Alone in the vacant field,
And there's scratching tin in the wind,
There's a steady distant hum,
A painting of delinquent youth,
Is

These Town Children Delinquent Breakers- -
In a small town of 800 the lonely town where children never sleep
Hardly can anyone imagine them ever being sweet
Some are bullies, some rob, steal, some brake windows
Others are found juvenile delinquents breaking into condos
Adults and political authorities
Sanctions rules and laws just for the youth minorities
These hard nosed children keep breaking them curfews
Rebellious youth

Your Will Power Your Choice
YOUR WILLPOWER YOUR CHOICE
It seems the term delinquency,
Tunes into almost any frequency,
The Meter band does vary though,
In societies both high, and low.
For adulthood they haste to make,
A taste of life they wish to take,
A status symbol is their aim,
A marred reputation their only gain!
The shadow seldom leaves its prey,
And with the dawn of every day,
The

Zeus Blowing His Delinquent Horn
All now under the sun -
Brother and sister popping corn,
Watching a clip they call a ****;
Society says it is their fun.
Long before I was born,
Before His kingdom was gone,
Wards were warned to shun,
What we now license bob son.
Moral mantle is torn
And tomorrow we shall mourn
Old time religion foregone
That has brought us to scorn.
Carnality wears its

Delinquent Dramas Drip and Droop
Cattle trains are litter trucks. Often noisy and overheated with the balmy sweat oozing from even the tidiest of blazers. Business break time then. All swap. All buy. Bring and buy. Before bells and buzzer. Akin to a quagmire of golden caresses calling all spirit with which to harness and enslave. Societal enhancement and norms

Either a Delinquent Or a Deviant
Either a Delinquent of a Deviant
Have I been a delinquent or a deviant?
What is message to me, God has sent?
Someday must go out on my very own
Knowing God will never leave me alone.
While I will rest and comfortably sit,
For me, you should try to finish it
With your ability and also endeavor
Now matter what may be
