Long Avaricious Poems

Crime busting Houston police smoke out disjointed fur rats house...

formerly an abandoned Amazon warehouse went to pot
with mold and magic mushrooms growing in every spot.

All kinds of vermin stole into the damp dark environment
of particular...

Why does the voiceless canary stare so bleakly?
Why do the sullen grey clouds desert a sombre sky?
As the ugly black smog blots out the valiant sun’s rays
The honey less flowers kiss the dying bees’ goodbye
Never...

How many people with foreboding palpitations
have I seen slip from middle age and slide into old age?
They slither into their last refuge, the dirt hole,
and ignorantly nestle into the forever unknown life stream

The ones who...

I have heard “The mirror tells not a lie, ’ 
I assuming myself the gorgeous one 
Abased in front of the looking-glass. 
I was one but the reflections were seven 
I was baffled either one...

I was a zealous, blue patrol officer, preserving the safer public environments,
As black, diamond nights come in sequence, with the glittery enlightenments.

I helped to direct ephemeral traffic, serving justice and enforcing eternal law,
Like moonlit streets...

I am the bird that is in the cage
choosing to fly in the enormous sky
I am not a avaricious of liberation and exhale
Only deciding to display some absurdity
act the absurdity and live the absurdity
But, why...

On this peaceful land where we live comfortably 
with the neighboring villagers sharing the sun and moon, 
stars and clouds, winds and waters, rains and snows;
we sow the seeds on the field, wander in the...

GREEDY AND JEALOUSY

The haves and the have not, they all stand at equal pulverized
Stretching their hands for arms giving, yes we are all vulnerable and vagabonds
Having money is valueless in the absence of helping hand,...

Murky shadows slink around the darkened rainbow
like black eels embracing the dish hi-lighting mankind’s testes.
As today Man’s testicles still hold the world hostage
and reveal the slow moving continuum slithering toward the world’s fate.
 
Flames and...

Hear the buzz
Do not disturb
The hornet's nest


Don't cross the line
Where right turns wrong
And tact criminal


The path is set
Each to a fate
At many fork roads

For frustration to blame
Guilt and regret


Be steady now
While you...

Prognosticating Present Plight...
Perhaps Preset During In Utero Protean Stage?

Reviewing, sans my life
and arduous hard time
lock, stock, and barrel on regular basis,
and of late composing
this, that, or another rhyme,

now I acquiesce past 
trials and tribulations
contributed positive,...

Non Human Sensate Beings Linkedin, Sans Omnipotent Bonds

Extant latent forcefields transcend
across avast panoply multitudinous biosphere
scads of diverse living entities
innately born with
inherent capacity to care
embedded within cellular

pith and marrow,
sans plethora of unlike those
pesky conniving Facebook organisms,

[The Puppeteer]
The storm I see you in
Caught in the race of Caïn
Held by the arms you cannot see--the conducter of Ennui 
-No stronger than the void you hold within-
It began with a hope, an obsession
Casted...

A swarm of mosquitoes there was
Of  different ethnic origin, language and culture.
Aedes, anopheles, culex and others
Some fragile,  some agile and some avaricious,
The anopheles was the most fragile but avaricious.

This human, they set eyes...

The vortex of my life 
spins my head around
my mind can’t contain the inhumanity of politicians 
their self-serving illogic and excuses make me crazy

The vortex is the GOD

Zombies dwell in the halls of justice of this country
joining other dead brained imposters
with their eye on the throne of Democracy
the Holy Grail of money, money, money 
 
Darkness surrounded us, the fight for promised...

SONG OF A PROTESTOR
How sweet to have a conscience that is clear
Can laud myself for righteousness conspicuous
Support all worthy politics, no fear
That I’d be charged as fascist, avaricious

Equality and fairness are my watchwords
You’ve more than...

All for one
None for all
A house of cards that will
Bring about a great fall

Only a select few
Can spellbound the masses
Becoming Kings and Queens
With illegitimate claims to fame

We lift them up high
On a plinth made of...

A Gardener with saintly vision, 
Planted a garden making its division, 
Into the zones two.

Fed he each plant and tree, 
With the pure blood of his hopes; 
And soon each nook and corner, 
Began to...

What Of This Niggardly Miserable Earth

What of this niggardly miserable earth
this small plot awaiting a white tombstone
when she cares and asks what is it all worth
once enslaved a soul fades into bone
a place to arrive...
