Long Bankrupted Poems

Number forty seven - White House occupant against all odds...

regarding President elect 
Donald John Trump.

As a cruel joke to self,
I imagined myself as a Republican
for that one glorious day
voting for the candidate
who clinched the nomination

Upon this path my spirit leads and I have a life time journey to complete
You have me confounded in this barren place and blocking me from mingling with the human race, the spirit of freedom...

Felt as if I were a stranger amongst family.
A mere shadow puppet on the wall.
The whispers that enraged me deeply.

From all the distasteful, shameful,
ungrateful words that had been spoken.
Utter silence drifting away,

the darkness starts to...

A nice veneer
Looking solid and good;
Termites devour within


Life hazards
Venture bleeding;
More vitamin M needed


Business failure
Shocking casualties;
Bankrupted parties


Spice can smell nice
But nice can tell lies;
Sometimes a vice


Impressive bungalow
Sporty car;
Heavy in debt woes


Sad but true
Vanity masquerades;
Not the real...

Very soon marmosets and moose
will get their vaccines.

A lone gnome fishes in a Koi pond.

The light of the moon
has been dimmed by a Chinese switch.

Elite bands of cockatoos
fight for free speech, but just for themselves.

Preening...

Felt as if I were a stranger amongst family.

Corruption and Covid 19 both a virus raiding our planet,
Only socialism works as in Finland in Scandinavia,
Realistically corruption has bankrupted countries, quad tripled poverty
Ruined our God given bountiful earth, brought it to its knees
Utopia that...

Silence is golden
The platinum preferred
Rarity, scarcity 
A giant padlock clinking 
At my neck
Selling out a bit at a time
Left rotting in the pantry

Speak no evil
Speak not one treacherous word
Instructions, destruction
A word pulling fiercely at us
Around...

His thoughts a noose round the neck
That betrays progress into better ray,
Prisoner self-chained to surreal wreck
Of diamond burdens beyond their say.  

His pulses another swift drift away 
From lanes of wit and clear sense;
Obstinate...

Angels, dare not enter;
for our city prides on greed and hate.
Fear takes betrayal without heed,
A means to an end.
Our Soul holds more importance,
rather than our indulgences "need".
In the heart of the beast,
reigns the seed of...

Foregone is my freedom
My future and it's conclusion
My most detached relationship
To myself now subject
To scathing privately
In installments with you.

Now I confided
“He tends a garden”

How was I to express
Without existential anguish
This irrational leap of faith?
Subjugated or...

You move to the left when you should have gone to the right.
The red light suddenly appears and you can't stop.
You are up to your eyeballs in the red.

In a back room in downtrodden and sleazy Manila

On the table cards money and a bottle of Tequila

Fortune lay in the hands of Jose the crooked dealer

Had piercing eyes and a nose like a broken...

Some grow big bellies
in front of the tele
idle and fuming
small minds never see big pictures

Now I do confess
bombing women and children
is not Biden's best moment, a failed test
nor all democracies of the west

Anyone is better...

divisions, how many of us are willing to take a photo with someone of other?
The majority will raise their hands, but show
me a photograph with us cheek to cheek,

(This is a fictional poem)

I decided to sleep with a woman who I met on a bus.
Her husband shot me because he caught us.
When I got shot, the bed was covered with blood.
I looked to...

Streets are long,
here where the town shifts into
linear ranks of commercial blocks
out-pacing the moving cars.

This is America most everywhere.
All that can be seen from a car screen
lays its naked desires out
in the pale meat of...
