Discharge Poems


Premium MemberThe Discharge

He’s together now, they say,
turned out, free to walk the street;
adult child turned out to play
amid grey walls of concrete
streets strewn with disposed joys,
the stench of human fluids.

Bozos wave their lethal toys;
aging goths, pseudo druids,
faces lit by flashing screens.
promenading, zombie-dead
watch desperate dancing teens,
nature’s lemmings, AI lead.

He’s together now, He’s told,
so discharged, they need the bunk;

DISCHARGE

I care, I search, for that deserved retribution
A forgiveness that has for so long, been due
It is only right and fair that I might live again
Out of this vile place, and be declared sane
Nobody knows about me what is really true
If rejected once more I’ll find a final solution

Time marches on but the story doesn't change.
Innocent lives being taken by a person whose deranged..
Last weekend in Pa. it was our state police, one is still
critical, and the other is now  deceased..
The unstable shooter is also now gone.
Will this ever stop? What keeps going so wrong?
This tragic story truly rings home for me.
I

Throw away the thoughts that make
you sad, they will not exist if you leave
them behind, don't think of things
that will stop the light from shining
brighter.

Imagine how long it takes to hollow out a 
log to make a vase out of bamboo shoots
in a corner of a dark cold room, surely
not worth the effort of making

An Idiot Does Not Riot

Demonstrators in all riots
Aren’t at all full or  half idiots:
Any fellow on Rich Diet
Most likely will remain quiet…

Idiots don’t fear Police Canister,
Whose contents are damned sinister.
Cops begin to consult Tear Gas
And vanish would even a lass;
For man fancies not Helpless Tear;
Once its source sights, to The Rear...

With Betrayers they remonstrate,
Against The Bizarre demonstrate:

Air Apparent

Will Hicks was angry about rear ends
a sudden discharge cost him countless friends.
It made a stinky mess
causing him distess
until he started to wear Depends.

Premium MemberSad Discharge

When a world dreams the next
three small wishes become one
each with the knowledge of the last
until the natal is surpassed

a first asks for a new day
demands existence to coalesce
against the tides of ignorance
combined with fears few admit

the second grasps rainbow tears
puts to sleep the tendencies
to look behind when progress asks
forward movement at long last

a final

The Rose Refuses To Discharge Its Scent This Year

Petals closed,
Pale colour,
Bending leaves,
Bound roots,
This season is not like others,
The drought, the cracking earth,
The war, the calamity,
Had all contributed to its sadness,
Others are even worse,
Pele-mêle,
Here and there,
Lying on the ground,
As though they had aggressively been,
De-rooted, cut off from their earthly warmth,
And suddenly an unexpected storm,
Poured from the sky, lightning,
A bolt of thunder and,
Torrent of rains,
Then

An Anode Will Discharge

Your window
was very small.
Why did not you throw the dice?
Walk away
without a want?

I had no courage
to tell the lies,
to hold the secrets
of brave tears,
which failed to live in red-bricked house.

And a naked womb
protecting the fetus
from scars and curtains,
will find a anointed bed to sleep for eternity,
for delivering, a new star.

An anode will discharge
on a galactic
