Long All work and no play Poems

All In The Name Of "Progress"

The wrecking ball long since
demolished boyhood house zen
located at 324 Level Road,
a once nonagricultural,
pastoral, rural residence,
which soulful yen
I called home while
veritably sequestered, quarantined, positioned...
sprawled atop spaciously shingled roof
countless years (B)efore...

I seem to have forgotten
the purpose of civilization
we are to animals 
as animals are to a basket of forks
C.J. Jung as the UFO pilot
in "Freud Attacks" a talkie
a flaming romp through the hubs of hell

Lamentations of a proletariat 

Loaded to the brim, withouted in a pack of "obersver-non participants"
folded like a wrap, yet forced to lack in the ranks of "server-run-anticipants"
dare to pass a comment and... a knife to...

We grew up with aphorisms--
Pithy, witty observations;
Some may only be sophisms
That were passed through generations.

Old but not anachronisms,
They’re still true in many nations.
They have kept their witticisms
And established strong foundations.

As I’m fond of verbalisms,

Away up north where it’s snowing they say
the elves are preparing for Christmas day.
Big elves little elves, busier than bees
All building toys, for under Christmas trees.

Some work with hammers others building bikes,
some riding through the...

A dull boy
All no work and no God
Has Matt with a lost soul
But he is moving on full steam
He is chasing the South African dream
He is going...

You can see the price; many books, heavy
I chase the future...

Oh, the stress-free, carefree world of children
O' take me back to the lil kids' playpen

When we tried on mom's cosmetics and lipsticks
and built playhouses with plastic blocks and bricks
And had fun with cooking set picnics

All work and no play
Is not a way to live
All play and no work
Is all take
With not much give

Work is essential
No job no money
How would one survive
Life is not all milk and Honey
People have to...

As an adult to another adult;
Does one such as an adult;
Listens to us;
If I tell you to be quiet there’s no power, no honest reply nor applying request;

And yet if you’re a child;
And I tell...

SONG OF THE PIPELINE

Working on the pipeline
Having such a great time
All work and no play
Never know the time of day.

Toiling seven days a week
Never finding time to sleep
Work in mud up to our necks
Have no...

Every word that comes out of my mouth

Has been filled with lies.

Driving in my new luxury car
Richer then a movie star
All the lights shine on me
I'm beautiful with too much money
Strutting to be viewed
Living big on Dream Avenue

Ladies adore my smile
Babes I drive them wild
Guys all...

royal hostage of history
how long has your family been unaware
suffering from her own power
constantly taken away
prisoner of blackmail to wash her hands clean 
poisonous people among you
no problem making them sweat for you

STRESSED

Sometimes when things begin to close in,
I'd like to sit down and chill out,
Find someplace to just get away,
And refigure what life's all about.

Sometimes it seems life's too full of demands,
My talents are spread way...
