The howl remains

Look what we've done
But why did you?
Look, we've done it
But should we have?

Why this first?
To be more heard.
Just because we could?
We'll describe.

So what about evolution?
What about it?
Is it not the rule?
Who’s to say?

Was it necessary?
We’ll justify it.
But in the silence
The howl remains.

Oh, How We Fell

Ancient howling came back to Earth
  And before long more species followed
  Some contested against this unnatural birth
  But no one could deny it’s monetary worth
  Then after a little - our world was swallowed
  
  Even though we lacked a time machine
  We ended back up in the Pliocene
  Then we fell
  We fell down and down
  Further down the chain
  The more scientists screwed with the current domain

  Some of us reverted back as well
  Gathering and hunting, because our old-new world fell
  Some would live and some would die
  Kids were taken and mothers cried
  The ones in white coats were mostly taken first
  They were the ones who unleashed the curse

  Cities got taken by giant birds
  They roosted atop the buildings we built
  Everywhere you went, a sound could be heard
  The sound of blood being spilt
  Predators and their megafauna prey
  Against each other make the worst sound I’ve heard to this day
  But at least it’ll keep them fed
  Sometimes that sound made me sleep more soundly in my bed
  
  Oh how the tables turn
  And how we turned them till the world burned

fire fire dance by the fire

Fire fire dance by the fire you liar, your situation is dire fire fire dance by the fire

No Choir and Dire Horn Haiku

No Choir and Dire Horn Haiku

when could be choir
will no longer inspire
decide times dire

Dire Forecast

Storm
Beginning tomorrow
Blizzard in Northeast
It whispers slow down
Hibernate

I'm turning German

Our medical system in Central Pa.
needs a major tweak.
Unfortunately the absence of care is 
daily growing more bleak..
I can't see my cardio. until nearly a week..
A shortage of primary's clearly exists.
I'm currently on four waiting lists..
Drove to an e.r. yesterday to be seen
when my b.p. went up to 216.
Sat in a waiting room for over two hours
as other patients conditions were much more dire.
One young man clearly very sick waited to be
seen with a rupturing appendix..
After two hours of waiting I decided to go, in
hopes that my numbers would return to low,
remembering something my brother said
some time ago..
He said buy some beer it works you know.
Never really developed a taste for beer but
am drinking in the am and it works my dear..
High blood pressures are quite concerning,  
alternative methods I'm quickly learning.
I'm almost certain I'm turning German.

VOIR DIRE

first pray
.....see...... & ...say

witness today
the Holy Spirit* way

dough's dire existence

It's not a dessert-worthy treat
But something disgusting to eat
If not rightly mixed
Pin-rolled and affixed
Your pie crust will taste like concrete

Dire Necessity

Dire necessity kills the sluggishness of time.

Dire Upon Self Oppression

Agony with hatred in a world so sacred, the jaded criticism is the blossom of a faded love 
forgotten.
Fatalism inside life to seek existence of a beautiful but crucial love in resistance.
Lie in which a curse is pessimism to this universe with evil & dark intentions.
Ignorantism of gore & it’s permission to deprive against this worlds depression will set fire inside of our eyes to seek beyond this Dire Upon Self
Oppression.

Dire Desire To Meet Vampire

About Herschel Walker

did have desire
had mentioned a vampire
conditions are dire

patience wearing thin
level of an Olympian
werewolf was in din

was so much suspense
discovered that he is dense
never made much sense

not Georgia cracker
he has been a big slacker
Trump has been backer

his screws are all loose
has suffered from much abuse
Christmas tree a spruce

Herschel had a date with Elvira.

A Dire Warning: a Journey's End

A big turd's journey nears it's end.
On the sheets it shalt not descend.

Now heed the warning I have said.
Please do not poop on the bed.

I know the pressure seems great.
And your bowel's contents nears its final fate...

but I must ask you to keep this in your head.
No matter what, do not poop on the bed!

A Very Dire Need For a Prayer Room

i am out of butter
i am out of milk
i am out of bread
i am out of all snacks
i am out of envelopes
i am out of stamps
i am completely out of money
what else is new

i can't go to any store
i can't go to the gas station
i can't go to pay bills
i can't go to pay any tithes
i am afraid to go to the bank
i am terrified to even drive up or down the street or around the corner
i am totally out of my mind
what the hell else will give

i want to go to a restaurant
i want a mexican pizza (too)
i want that blue bubble gum ice cream
i want some cinnamon roll oatmeal
i want some vanilla almondmilk
i want to go to the beach
i want to go to the lake
i want to go to the mountains
i can't even afford to drink from a water fountain
i am so broke that even a simple kiss from a woman is cancelled due to insufficient funds
that's what i call alternative cock blockin'
now i am officially certified psycho, but such as life
i'll wake up tomorrow with a smile and my work badge

Humanity Dire

Mothers and daughters
Show me your calling
You who will birth and one day bore the world
Replenish children God willing with human man
You and him shall an adult stage procreate
Pollinate human skate

Fathers and sons
Lead me now and after
You who are strong with big chiseled arms
Come forth young man with provision provide directions
With the help mate by your side
You and her child in adult stage procreate
Pollinate human faith
