His Hair Was Dyed Red

the world watches Holmes
sit “dazed” in the courtroom,
with each mainstream media
monolith
churning out the sound bites
referencing his eyes & his
red hair---
the picture that goes viral is
of course the one that can
be likened most to something
out of Heath-Ledger-as-The-
Joker-101, 
visually answering questions
for the people at home,
because we all know that
individuals who dye their hair
red are megalomaniacs who
will more than likely, eventually,
inevitably, order bullet proof 
clothing, a gas mask & 6, 000 
rounds of ammo, with the 
“calculated & deliberate”
intent to walk into a movie 
theater & blast everyone into
oblivion.

and when every talking head
from Oates to Obama, comments
on the massacre, we watch them
stumble over the responsibility 
that this culture has to own up to
when something like this happens---
rather, they weigh it all on the 
shoulders of one red haired 
young person, whilst hugging
the loved ones, the family of those
whose members were killed.

subtly inactive in regards to the
actual problem at hand,
mumbling things about finding 
better ways to “take every step
possible to ensure the safety of
all of our people,” all the words
that flow from mr. hope & change’s
mouth add up to no actual veering from
the status quo in the future & the mum
mum hush hush gun industry knows
this, giving the big man a nod.

instead, we look with inspiring eyes at
Obama, when he tries to gain a 
collective sense of sympathy from the
crowd, when remarking that “we may
never understand what leads anybody
to terrorize their fellow human beings
like this”…
and as we shake our heads & 
hug ourselves, just hoping that such
violence never affects us directly,
or harms our own families/friends in such
a manner,
we all turn a blind eye to the people
that our military has massacred throughout 
the more than 200 years that our country has
existed &
we turn a blind eye to the violence enacted
upon the citizen’s here at home, who have
suffered & continue to suffer 
at the hands of the police & state
officials,
whilst the paranoid & terrified hicks 
out in the middle of bumble**** 
no man’s land,
clench their rifles & their pistols,
never having been threatened by anyone,
anywhere, for any reason at all,
thinking that the whole world is out to
get them,
swearing that they will never move a 
muscle in the direction of progress.


The Mad Dance

The klaxon sounds and off we do scurry
Up to the gun house we head in a hurry

Through narrow p-ways and up noisy stairs
We pass each other with far away glares

What threat to meet, all do wonder
We’re well trained and there’ll be no blunder

Hatches closed and scuttles secured
Drive motors humming, we speak not a word

Ammo to the hoist, battle dress in place
Flash hoods cover all but our face

“Mt 51 manned and ready!”
Gas eject air pressure is holding steady

“Air action port!” our circuits align
Gun slews, the target to find

“On target aircraft!” the checksight declares
Our peril confirmed, no drill, all just a deep inhale

“Right and left guns load!” first powder then shot
To the mad dance, cast we all our lot

Guns loaded, we track knowing not when
Waiting the salvo alarm, the dance soon to begin

Fourteen men poised, ready for the show
Bound to each other, not for their own glory they do go

Gong! Gong! Fire! The first stanza a roar
Then rapid and continuous we feed each bore

“Bore clear!” signals to load the next round
As hot-case men pitch spent brass to the ground

Practiced harmony, each motion robotic
Load!, Ram!, Fire!, Eject! the cadence hypnotic

Smoke and flareback, gases choking
Onward we whirl, and curse the foe attacking

“Foul bore left gun!”
A stuck case has us undone

Pry bar in hand, the Gunner appears
The extractors are broken, confirming worst fears

Casing removed and the gun finally clear
Up all night we’ll be, fixing this gear

“Cease fire!” all safely emerge
Realize we now, our fears to purge

Destruction averted, another hour to draw breath
Till the enemy returns, seeking our death

“Police up that brass and swab out those barrels!”
The chief keeps us all intent on the peril

They will come again, or we will seek them out
So little rest we take, while the issue is in doubt

***************************************

This describes a live shoot from the prospective of 
the men manning a twin 5 inch gun aboard a destroyer.
These ships were common in our Navy from 1944 through 
about 1980. The "old salts" out there will find this very familiar. 
This is a spinoff from my "Tin Can Sailors" write even though 
the ships in that story were single mounts. Same gun, but 
with just one barrel. Those were before my time.

Suburban Blues

Well, get up on time,
See your days pass by.
Don’t ask questions,
To leaders of suppression.
Cause court is in session.
Obey this do that,
When you go out,
Don't wear hood or hat.

Ah, eat more Tyson food
City gave us a candle,
Ask for a meal, they might be in a good mood.
Lights, camera, action,
Fake your true reaction.
College teaching us
Basic subtraction,
Wondering if it’s all distraction
To what we love to do

Ah, sulfates in shampoo
Don’t complain about
Government voodoo
Whatever you do
Whatever you see
Don’t take it too personally.
Cause you might change the world
May do what they don't want you to.
Might abolish greed,
And you might uproot their evil seed.

Ads littered on t.v.
It’s bait for the hook
Crooks stalking my Facebook
Someone’s in a fight,
But people enjoy and look look look.

Well, Billy threw up 
That corn syrup.
Read your schoolbooks and shut-up.
Rise for the anthem,
Rise for the pastor,
Labeled dumb for not
Thinking faster.
Sally resisted two faced authorities.
Cells are filled with innocent minorities.

Ah, preach it on hills
Lights flashing in Area 51,
They shut down my windmill
I’m faced with a giant and my ammo equals none.
How is my grandson gonna live?
If all he does is forgive
Those who take and do not give?
I’m staying home today,
To relax and pray. 

Ah but GMO is in my fruit.
Saw a man trade his soul for a nice suit.
Hypocrites smile with snakes in their boots.
Ben came home with black eye
Then left his mama without a goodbye.
Mamas sittin on the porch only to cry 
For her son who is now getting high.
Last week he was a victim in a driveby.
Read all about it in the news.
Single mother of none in suburban town of blues.

Little girl taken in an alleyway,
Policemen said they'll find her another day
Unless the parents have money to pay,
You won't be seein her face, hey!
Little girl grew up hangin by street corners,
Asking for one night for only four quarters.

Meanwhile in Flint Michigan
The water is polluted brown but they ain't listenin,
So the citizens are thirstin’
For some hydration.
Metals in their water
While the mayor counts his dollars 
The governors apologize 
But it's just more lies.
Read all about it in the news,
Truth is kept hidden in suburban town of blues.

Aussie Cruiser Sydney

OUR TIN POT NAVY so THEY SAID in 1914 Sydney in the first World War 1

In 1914 German cruisers were cut loose 
and Emden she was one…………….…(fired 38lb shells)
the Indian ocean she did for hunting choose
and 9 ships were sunk by gun…….
Then she sailed and shelled Madras , I say
captured 10 more ships, when off Ceylon…
Penang harbour a night visit,… hey!
sank Frog and Ruski warships, and was gone ….(Emden was daring!)
November 8, morse code it said… strange ship a passing there,
out near Cocos island, the German raider caused a stir
Cruiser Sydney she raced west at 25 knots or more
And sighted wily Emden who opened fire for sure
Sydney took 15 hits before, she then hit back …..(with 100lb shells)
blew away her steering gear and knocked her funnels flat (Emden)
.. ………..demise………..
The Scrap Iron Flotilla they said in 1940

Light Cruiser Sydney in World War 2

Light Cruiser Sydney had some 6 inch guns 
she met Italians in the med.
sank destroyer Espero not for fun
in nineteen forty, yes its said
17th july Sydney was on patrol, when,
she was called into a fight
2 Italian cruisers waited, then,
sprung some pommy destroyers in flight....(pommy English)
Yes Sydney came to even up
the poms out gunned for sure
when she arrived with blazing guns 
the Italians run for shore
Bande Nere and Colleoni rushed a bit
made smoke to get away
Band Nere then she took a funnel hit 
as Sydney passed her way
Collenoni then she wore the brunt
stopped dead by Sydney's shell
so Band Nere escaped the hunt
Sydney's out of ammo… well?.:)
But if you live by the sword you die by the sword
cunning German's had their day
Sydney met a ship with hidden guns aboard
Raider Kormoran made her play
Kormoran she hid behind a Dutch flag
and when Sydney came in range ………a sitting duck ... 1000 yards
she fired first, jerked down the rag……...old navy trick
two equals did exchange………………….similar guns…
Though mortally wounded Sydney, still, 
had some guns to fire,
x turret still fired with a bitter will
burnt Kornoran …'the liar'…….Don Johnson
……….demise of both……….

No trace of the Sydney sailors ...Kormoran sailors made it to the barren west coast of
Australia 
and were interned as P.O.Ws....Almost seems like Karma with payback by the German navy...

Premium Member Apologies and Roses

we don’t appreciate
the sun until it r a i n s,
warmth of gentle rays
that subtly stroke
distressed skin
 when time was f r o z e n 
   smiles were s t o l e n
and hope yet again
      remains b r o k e n…
whilst I’m lying here
in the in-betweens of 
     procrastinated promises 
along bitter breezes~
you use your poetic
words as a weapon,
oppressing the guardians
around my dreams, 
oblivious to the 
translucent truth
laced in trimmed nylon,
that you and me
we’re made of
the same s t o n e
we wear the same
crown of t h o r n s
sitting on the throne
of darkness, full of
stainless steel cages
and chain link fences,
turning 
  these emotions
into 
   cancerous tumors,
knocking on your
conscience, patronizing
the pigments of
  my petal-like palette
by questioning
your own roots..
but now I’ve got feathers 
in my bleeding heart,
and if these crimson wings
could fly, you’ll find me
  soaring  above seas
  of solitude, that pushed
    me down to an abyss
    of n o t h i n g n e s s.

watch me unlock
the keys of jasmine doors
to seek serendipity surrender, 
as my muse serenades
rainbow reveries,
amidst faded stars 
and moonless nights 
which
gaslit my 
  apologies and roses. 
I have tried
   to twirl through
ravenous ravens in a
carnival of carnivores 
you’ve fed my mind
labelling me
as the serpent q u e e n
     with twisted words,
whilst you whirl around 
  with 
   ghosts of p o e t r y
in your 
    cathartic h a z e..
your love
is a hand grenade
   that shattered my aching
bones into scattered
s m o k e and f o g

they say
the biggest hearts
are the 
   biggest targets,
and the rifles you hold,
seems to have
my name engraved in
    blood-soaked tears…
so, now that you’ve
pulled the trigger,
how would you stop
       the ammo? 
Will you remain forever
in your 
    unbending silence
a false humility 
   disguised
as k i n d n e s s
that flickers glitter,
to ascend brighter
as the bullet settles 
upon my spine, halting
me from movement? 
Or will you watch me
 c r a w l back to the
spheres where I belong? 
for I refuse to rot
as a victim of an
unwritten circumstance.

The Rhyme Advancer With the Answers

Poetry Soup, The foundation where I’m planting my roots, 
Lassoed by a rope that’s never loose,
Always bringing me back,
I’m here, ready with no fear, high jacking minds causing post traumatic panic attacks,
Ya no match for Quincy Mac! Always attacking while on track, 
Was once a street rat, intellectually faster and now your poetic master!
The Rhyme Advancer with the answers, 
With deadly sexy stances of grammar,
Aggressive techniques you don’t seek, seen as dangerous, so you lag and stagger,
Dancing with words bringing this banger, 
Too advanced, for the ignorant class, who lack comprehensive swagger,
Picking up my spanners, I assemble transcendental concepts making you tremble,
Majority blessed by their synthetic environment, so minds are simple, worthless like a pimple,
Needing popped, shocked into trauma, so you wake to the storm of the west, 
Always assuming ignorance is an asset, 
A threat to ya well-being, intelligence tells us we should want to know about everything, 
So learn to THINK, in sync with observations that interlink with the missing link,
Quick, question your sick social rank, thoughts go blank? No one to thank for wise principals,
I perceive myself as a human individual, home is earth, but cursed with feeble people influenced by evil,
Been told I’m on a different level, NO! Believing this will take hold of my ego,
Instead I write with flow and send out these writings to your brains radio, So turn it up!
Yesterday, today, and tomorrow I pickup bombs of ammo,
As I undergo experiences growing my vocab to blow minds,
The Knowledge Mastermind, of good and the upheaval of fallen thoughts of evils, 
Painting life right now, in this domain claiming a divine easel, that equals more than worldly rules,
Prepare ya tools, Reassemble your sanity from all the insanity and ball,
**** in the air, frequencies of fecal matter disrupting what you think, to you its nonexistent and nothing,
Writings encoded deeply, not for the sleepy, hard to put together like a double sided puzzle,
All or nothing, no trouble, with balance keeping an eye on my surroundings, while under my angels wings.

Land of the Gun

Living in dark days 
of the last generation of Noah
Evil beast animals now rule the Earth
Peaceful human beings
are perpetual moving ark targets
In constant danger from the archers’ grip,
the meek souls pray always to God
that the deadly, hunter bullet arrows miss
Walking by faith 
in the Land of the Gun ... 
the vast American wasteland
Death metal warlords rule
in the desolate Land of the Gun
Pale shoguns  
got the last peace rebels 
on the run
Running from the violence
High lead mortality false profit driven,
the dry ground is flooded
with innocent blood corruption
Leaving morgue debris of souls bereaved
Constant siren wails
follow the fallen bodies on the 
smoking barrel trail
Some say we’re living in a technological hell,
others believe in the cursed power
of never-ending, multiplying weapon sales
Trafficking on a perfidious path; 
allured to the firing, silencer sound 
of the damning, fiery chiming brimstone bell
Carved handles, death laden metal idols
bolster ammo-filled holster security
On scarlet satin beds of gunpowder pyre,
sleepers crypt rest with “No Trespass” ease
While wicked watchers lust for more,
as they voyeur revel in the exit wound bleed 
Still, a remnant walk by faith
in the Land of the Gun
A chosen few peace outlaws
on a divine run
Running from the ceaseless violence
Seeking higher ground
from the blood flood below
Bearing witness of so much sorrow;
orphan tears flow
from closed coffin eyes
of weeping widows
These be the last dark days of Noah,
violence fills the Earth with a flood
And the levee broke in the Land of the Gun,
where fear moved
in the twilight direction of the falling sun
Oh, so much violence in the Land of the Gun,
the Wild West badlands
Where blood justice is dispensed, 
executed by bullet judge and jury Americans
But the brave peace rebels
seek safe refuge, 
by following the lowering path of the Son 
Soon to be Resurrection rainbow returning 
on the horizon —  
Once the heavenly trump blow;
and the overcoming cleansing flow,
letting the Water of Life run ...
Washing away forever
the final end time Reign of the Gun

Premium Member Whisky Moment

~the Fear of Never~ A DRINK TO REMEMBER!


   And the fire catches every time, my heart needs a sip
I bear no shame pouring, poisoned pabulum whisky down 
Lost in a place with hungry whores, ink paying  gigolos 
This night a respected gentleman put's on his evening gown
He sits in front of a mic playing the same old sad song
Fitted out in drag, his wife has no clue
Holy breeders trying to change my shoes
Lingering from the Cute Chinaman, running his tab sky high
Bluebirds of jealousy, set round the vintage Barstool like fools
Minds overpowered and threaten to the very nub

I am drunk-- in his eye, 
He receives a macabre confession of possessiveness 
I am drunk-- in her eye,
She has a sick confession of subconsciousness 

Broken loose from a negative, regressive state of mind
Sit and enjoy this broken bottle of champagne 
Unspoken rage in every empty can left behind
A shot glass drops from my unstable hands longing to hold a pen
I look into a mirror and embrace every meaning of stability
Blotting out the madness behind a metal cage of reality
At times, I feel the need to bring down this masquerade 
A drink so hostile, I can't even remember my image and name 

Too many scars, from the foster of paper and pen
My dependents are drunken demons from a traumatized childhood 
Tonight I will legislate a special thanks
Holding up my cup, until death finds my note 
I will smile, at every Judge and Jury, during karaoke night
Shutting down my eyes, fantasizing everything's gonna be alright
I will not  jilt knowing, writers block haunted my days away
Insecure hoarding monsters enjoying spoil forgotten words
Tonight I thirst like never before, my tongue inscribes around a tin cup
I am not eating up by it, no matter how long I've drowned in it
This is my kind of whisky, my thoughts, my days of ammo 
To tell you the truth, I possess no desire to drink
It's all about the love of poetry and how sober, I become (WITHOUT)
The monsters that reside inside, have one thing to say

"Give me Poetry, or give me Death!"

Premium Member Loud Grunting

(Innuendo -- Pigs)

All around are sticks and stone
Feel God's loving arms around you
-----At last, I am redeemed-----

A feast of my soul, you shall receive
A cake for dinner, I made out of stones
Ratchet pigs fill their dirty mouths, 
Consuming my soul, sipping on champagne

At peace with myself, brushing off the walls
Nevertheless, tonight they speak in tongues
-I strain my ears to listen;
While pettitoes approach my page
I hear the squeals, I hear the chit chat
from he/she that wears no shame.
Am I she, the evil one?
The one you penned -
Under the influence of manipulation
Trying to stifle my voice of beauty
No matter, I am crazy, a dreamer
Never claim to be THE INNOCENT, 
The Poet Destroyer!!! 

I ignore the walls when they speak
Nevertheless, tonight they have eyes
They watch my every move
A trotters dance, of togetherness
Forgetting the reason we are here
I will win and conquer my privacy

You can't destroy what you can't see
I am the glory of my day
I am God's pet!!!
A Lamb, wearing white
To others a wolf in disguise
Spitting slithers, swear 
I am the Devil's Advocate
I marvel how they snort at night
Today I will crash the sore whispering party
You! My friend, no longer exist
You are naught more than cobwebs
You will dream about me, write about me
I will give you ammo, then read it from you.
I will show you what a demon is!
Like the light and envy of every moon
I shall ask my reflection and remove
the residue from hogging lips.

I will watch you urbane the truth
The heat and lust I conquer from you
A font with no reflection, dating apples
Heading away from its own advice
A hard task from its quill, enjoying leftovers
Pinpointing fingers among shallow dreams
It's sickening to see pigs pat each others back
Feeding on my demonic words
Convoying innuendos in my bearing
Now it's my turn, to turn the roaster on

With no interest in removing muddy sheets
I shall smile and walk away
In - joy - my heart beats and smiles
Knowing, I made you look  --- AGAIN!!!
