Retribution

Twilight was the time of day
as well they do concur
about the hour of crepuscular dusk

when mother’s barren womb gave birth. 
Born to end Philistine pillage, 
and fill sad, anxious hearts with mirth.

No wine or product of the vine,

A Game of Shame

...Politics, pulling-of-lame-legs game, 
To shame the knee-jerk rivals its aim, 
An odd set of raiders 
All— no team-defenders, 
Game lost, and begins a game of blame. 

A man in sixties’ a buddin...

...Eye for eye; tooth for tooth,
Age old key to old hitch,
Justice’s way; known from youth,
Consciences’ vexing itch.

Few know death’s row bower,
Lowly know its bare scene, 
Some escape through ...

If it is not mine?
Be strong,
It is not cause to cry
Nor an excuse to whine.

What is a missing tooth,
If it is not mine?
Be strong,

“The father who is in heaven”;
Listeners hooked by the tongue,
A congregation, not a coven.

Right Back Up

...8/26/17


When I was a youth
Rarely lied, to tell the truth
Eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth

Fell down, got right back up
Instead of staying stuck
And not giving a f***
From dawn to dusk

Why If Its Not

...Why, do we call it
Something it’s not
If we’re going to name things
Let’s give it, some thought

If it’s called a chilli
