There are a lot of myths we have been told
Like at the end of a rainbow there's a pot of gold.
Things I was told turned out to be lies
Like if you watch to much television you will get square eyes.
If you eat the crust of the bread you will
Get curly hair.
Don't look to long at someone as it is rude to stare.
Look at that owl they are clever and wise
And listen to adults because they never tell lies
Girls are made from sugar and spice
And never hit a woman as its not very nice
Boy are made from frogs and snails
And always wash your hands and don't bite your nails
Never say dirty words and don't scream or shout
As there was a bar of soap to wash your mouth out.
Dumb and Dumber and Gullible
Easy to spot
old men in Red hats
MAGA meanies
cranky and angry
that the world has matured
and they sit in their rot
lie and lie and smear the truth
very sore losers and so uncouth
feed them falsehoods
they drink it like beer
show them an immigrant
see them shiver in fear
Now Canada and Australia
not perfect for sure
just more common sense
than unschooled hatred
simply very immature
they voted for a better choice
the haters will deny
the majority should have the bigger voice
those who believe, if they repeat the lie enough it will become true
the gullible are too many, the sane too few ~ what will voters do
barbs being thrown, tit for tat, red states, blue states ~ I've had enough of that
tired of all the political rants ~ they bite each other like red ants
That old gullible Gulliver Gold
Would believe anything he was told
It would turn to champagne
Catching drops in the rain
But all he caught was a nasty cold
Then we told him to try it again
Said this time it would turn into gin
In a steady downpour
His throat got really sore
And grew incredibly pale and thin
When he got well we thought we would say
Fame and fortune was coming his way
They would crown him the King
If he drank gasoline
So now they'll lay him to rest today

All definitions read but not hold good,
For, being good is definitely being victimised!
If ignorance, you have a total predeliction to bestow,
Send emails with the command, at the end to:
“Please forward to everyone you know!”

Loyalty brings even the fortified few to falter somnambulantly in succession
As if tranced to commit, their convictions are true yet skewed
The blind emotional outburst of bigotry and cynicism conveyed
Is but a microcosm of what pain these individuals likely feel
Something of an atrocity to be used and told when to kneel
Although the accused has seen duress they gladly contride the thoughts of madness itself
I feel that you deny me reproof yet I will not pity that which cannot choose
As sad as it seems to me I see I've held on to honesty gleaning
Were supposedly a friend you said having talks breaking bread
But now that I see that your truth is my lie I know time will determine the test that was cheated
The sad part I'll say and to my dismay is that there wasn't discussion, just conceded
Hope it's enjoyed, misconception eroded have the seat that keeps you yearning and teeted....
A handsome man beautiful woman
Admired and loved; their outer shell,
Pretty face like sweet fauna
Can be root bound within
A labyrinth of
Irrational

Gross intent,
Poems disguised
That speak about love
When ink turns radical
Perceiving of lonely hearts,
A dark moon upon the rising
A song a rhyme sent on an ill wind.

hoisted hanker bruised
vying voluptuous view
eerie oddities oozed
fostering felon fluid
porous pills punctured
sassy seals structured
mental horizon melted
gnawing gaunt glued
hefty heels drooled
pulpy peers pulsed
gnashing gifts gulped
callous crest cupped
gullible Greek bled
etched acumen ebbed.

hoisted hanker trips
cranky cause clipped
soapy sauce seeped'n
in taunted tease
smoldered spiritualism scribbled
on dark dwindles
gaunt gifts sieved
sumptuous seal retrieved
haughty hoists spilled
bounty beards blushed
surmounting syllabic touch
gullible phrases gulped
porous pen puked
drenching vying view.

from deep within me
a power to manipulate

My friend john is a trusting soul
A trusting soul is he
When I called him gullible
He did not disagree
Then I told him gullible
Was not even a word
It was in fact considered slang
At least that’s what I heard
My friend John did ponder that
And agreed that it was not
My friend John is a gullible soul
More gullible than I thought!
They become...
Ubiquitous in society, gullible slaves with no empathy
Until the man with depression seeds something quite extraordinary
At mental-illness-hall-of-dance spectacular.
Public performance was buffoonery...
He screamed love, stated peace and cried eureka.
Hence one smiled, another embraced their lover,
Simultaneous nodding, quiet giggle, a boisterous laugh, a little kiss,
Timing, noting, recording.
They found their place, all of them
Whilst cultivating others until something happens and
They become...
