Strange how everything evolves except love
it just comes in one sweet-fleeting flavor-
Hate and destruction have evolved
We went from clubs, bow and arrow
to a fetish for nuclear diseases.
If love had evolved
missiles would forever sleep in their rattlesnake dens
we'd have repurposed howitzers to flower gardens
black words would reverse course
before having intercourse with hate and death
but we're a harsh species an eight eyed tumor on fire
-a species on the
precipice of mass extinction
Many are wants -demands -desires
instant gratification at our soft fingertips
patience and empathy once callused into the psyche
are now an annoyance
an open wound on the genitalia of ego
a sterile afterthought
Strange how everything evolves except love
it comes in just one sweet-fleeting flavor
Hate has evolved
Rape-Beheadings have become blasé
bloody brooks and streams and wounded knees
poison clouds and plutonium ponds
Jesus can't come soon enough.
Should a woman put on trousers?
Yep: ones that don’t men make browsers:
That let Top Secrets remain secret;
Documents eyes should not just meet:
Trousers that won’t hatch Internets,
Lust cause to beat its castanets…
Trousers fully masking Womanhood,
Easily The Misunderstood:
Sometimes, seeming to say “Draw close,
So that you may pick up your Rose…
Women may be free with trousers
But trousers could turn howitzers:
Pastors and Imams gunning down,
Priests causing to smile who should frown,
Maiden forcing to dump her gown;
Strongly shake the firmest crown!
And may men put on the skirt?
Yeah: if their trousers packed up dirt
And nearing it could image hurt
Worse than a woman’s for Shirt.
Korea’s Ticking Time Bomb
North and South Korea at arms race heaven,
a massive number of weapons all waiting to be used –
tanks, guns and bombs.
One war was enough but nearly fifty years have passed
and so it’s time for another.
North uses Migs and howitzers, South uses F-16s
and cluster bombs all stockpiled at warehouses and airbases.
Have these people lost their minds?
Making law with the barrel of a gun
thinking that they are gangsters at an international level.
This is Korea’s ticking bomb,
with North being the explosive and the South the fuse.
