Slurring at the Elephant in the Room
How many times have we met? I don't have thick skin if I were to come under the needle of a vet; barf would linger on clothes that aren't yet washed down by the hose of a zoo attendant. The span of your ears sweeping back the stench I exude with perspiration, thanks, elephant. My rumbly gut on your gut, your...

The elephant in the room went out for a drive, creating a scene in the scenic coastal town. Large as a barge, roaming the hills and the valleys. It was a bumpy road, mammoth and metastatic. It was like letting the bees out of the honey hive. Oh what the historic and stately place was shown. Not normally seen, the victim...

She may be petite or large...not the point; Moms are Republicans; she may have small feet... or large – either way, hurt their children and they step heavy – Democrats to-rue-the day, they turned from the peoples' good to pay-to-play – the ultimate maleficence. The Devil's acolytes.......

Some call me Mr. Trump Some call me ex-president To some I am a hero I cater to the right But I am just a puppet Putin is the master He really wants America to fall No matter what the cost One failed insurrection And a hypocritical tweet for every occasion Oh wait, I got banned For inciting a riot Thousands of Americans dead Because I called COVID-19...

Elephant In the Room
By: rontwigger Never make believe that you do not see That monstrous elephant in the room. So you would be cleared in your doom, Spread the sick beans of someone you'd never be. Fuel not the system of, for and by the few For you know it triggers so much pangs, Pangs that are the offshoots of their angst Would never ever...

The Elephant In the Room
To my right, to my left, the elephant in the room, locking eyes, straight ahead, doom... doom... doom. A thousand spirits proclaimed it, another dimensional shift, verifiable frequency sustains it, ascension at its best. Even the best are trembling, wondering of mankind's worth, since they've been judged unworthy, of the blessed planet of their birth. They say modern man will...

Depression is killing more than ever, yet remains the largest elephant in the room Mental health has a stigma attached to it People are scared to get help for their mental illness and wounds Cause people judge and laugh at it Bipolar, depression, bulimia, schizophrenia Just a few topics constantly missed by media They prefer to post about celebrities and such...

I wake up in the morning, eat my bran and germ, You know I'm pretty hungry, since I'm a pachyderm. I have to write a poem, will hold the pencil with my trunk, Better read up on style, courtesy of White and Strunk. The poem, it must be just right, not too long nor brusque, Yes that's right - you...

The big headlines cause sensation, Media’s chosen information. Manipulative, they entomb the big elephant in the room. Stress is put on the suggestive keeping tongue and the mind active. They sweep aside with furtive broom the big elephant in the room. Gain is high on the agenda grabbing votes in referenda. They hide, on purpose, I presume the big elephant in the room. Many topics are selective; they...

3 polished oak fans, Swirling in robotic unison High maintenance socialites, Sipping on Merlot fallacies Lemon yellow coated walls, Flat, Like their smiles Comparisons of dangling Porsche & Bentley keys A glorified day care center, Pacifiers included The muted virtuosos speak softly in hymn dialects. Courtesy laughter in snob’s octave Their heads twitching side to side, Left to right to left An equilibrium facing assault charges against self They slow...

The Elephant In the Room
Believe no word I say; Just watch what I do. No matter how I try I can't hide it from you. Ashamed of every bite, I starve in your eyes. But when you turn around I choke on french fries. I can't hide from the world That pure ecstasy I feel when in my mouth I cram A cream puff, a box...
