Long Acrimony Poems

Moods oscillate in cadences of peaks and valleys

Angst of redundancy seethes from within as lava
Anger is camouflaged with the cloak of reticence
Ardour suffocated...

put on the rez and told to stay within.

“Despite the peace both sides still...

Out of hell’s breath the Devil’s Coachman comes and turns
around the tale to woe twists as the world creeps backwards
underneath the clay slithering sacrificial savagery begins
 
Ghastly ghostly spectres watch on with soulless glee

Flitting fleet-footed amongst the copse of corpses, 
The grey stone groves of death – 
I love those humble long-suffering tombstones,
They rear their bleak blackened heads...

My pulse rate suffocates me!

Bitter lumps swells within my chest

But that's impossible without being kind
The two above build one to be honest
Suppressing all the feelings of jealousy
Silencing all tongues not to be boastful
Bruising egos that result...

None keeps its inventory
But it creeps into a story
A story of a modern society
Which is plural in nature;
Partly of a rural nurture
Partly of an urban stature
Yet must remain together
Lest it falls a part 
For unity...

Understand the caricature
To understand the creature

Acrimony is the first step to atrophy

Sacrilegious or areligious
Voracious visions visit the valiant

Written words form the tapestry
Tattooed across his very flesh

Dine with the dead
And you'll come out ahead

Cull the herd
And...

It is no small act that follows
no leaps nor bounds
as we are bound
the square, white-washed walls
crumbling, no doors, no sound

but who are we 
are we not what one perceives
stuck to our one room box

Choked by the incense of poetic justice,
I volunteered to be slain for the betterment of humanity.
The paintings of my ink on white sheet were witnesses,

Scared
   by Odin Roark

Fear saved the fly
The spider wept

Fear kept men alive
While Napalm paved the way

Handlers and mental bodyguards 
At their beckon call

The mongrel on Manhattan’s frozen streets
