The Incumbent
THE INCUMBENT
by
JOHN M. ARRIBAS
I am sick and tired of hearing the same old line
My elected representative says every things fine
He just does not represent the people I know
He’s been there forever its time for him...

Poet Trapped Inside the Beast
I have the heart of a poet
Trapped deep within
The soul of the beast
Everyday I get up
And put on my dark
Bureaucratically correct uniform
I turn off my soul
Put on my phony smile
And my plastic ideas
And go forth...

Charles Bukowski Road Not Taken
While reading Charles Bukowski poetry?
On the metro ride home?
Listening to Buddha bar music?

Over 30 years ago when...

My Kashmir Burns (Part 2)
Another son is dead, until five he lived.
For his long life at Shah-Hamdan he had threads tied
“Shehij ninder yee nai. Gahas Kormakh Khudayas Hawale”, his mother cries.
No news can penetrate across the mountains. Satellites work...

Editor's Notes

Eat, drink and be merry
(tomorrow, be contrary).
( and complain
in bad refrain,
but please, not till I'm on the plane!)
Write no poem before its time

What exactly would He do today.
Would He be for right or left,
For the Republican or Democrat,

Si Vis Pacem
You see them loot on city streets,
attack people and leave them beat,
take what they want with no regard,
it’s ‘easier’ than working hard.
We see them take a human life,
with no regard for people’s rights,
defraud taxes, both...

Or you can line up at the mall
If you in a real big rush, you can line up in your autocar
Coffee lines and fast food lines

Saint George and the Dragon
When I spotted Saint George in a van,
I feared that his horse might be lame.
Or worse, in a Doggomeat can,
when hurt in some chivalric game.
Saint George, it appeared was not happy,
now carried around in this...

Hanky Panky
I feel just like that old grey squirrel,
whose belly is empty as can be.
He keeps on searching for those acorns,
but he has climbed up a maple tree.
He worked hard and long the whole...

House of Ants
Living walls composed of tiny living building blocks
Pinchers, claws, legs, holding on, gripping, intertwined
Compelled to embrace each other in this crawly house
Scratching on hardened shells, always adjusting, tightening
Ever responding to the constant hum deep within
Awaiting...

Worlds Within Worlds Lost In Inner Space
A man woke up one day
Lost in inner space
Went so far down
The proverbial rabbit hole
That he did not know
Where he was
Nor what time it was
Nor when it was
As he stared out
At a bewildering world
A world...

Beware the Shepherd
While jurisprudence illustrates through brief,
the bureaucrat stands verbal in reply.
To pillage righteous freedoms like a thief,
he fans malfeasance tethered to a lie.
Incitement is the weaponry of choice
for inspiration fanning despot flames,
autocracy inflects...

The Evil Bureaucrat
“I have an idea”, were the words that I said,
To the cabinet of officials before me.
“We don’t have enough workers to build and to farm”,
Success I would boldly guarantee.
They worked through the day,...

Just When I Thought Common Sense Was a Myth
I was beginning to think I had been dreaming all these years,
And thoughts of common sense being anything other than a myth,
Would only only end in tears,
With anger becoming harder to suppress.
I was wrong,
Common sense...

Tonight into the Mourning 3
Without food

As go the dying poor in document
So must I

Origin of contempt
Translation of bureaucrat

Finds the civilized item
Creating civilizations

Oh, Momma

Oh Momma, surely there has to be a better way.

If you care to look in your cupboards,
You might doubt being out of bed,
As all you will see is red.
If you rush to the bathroom cupboards,
For something to keep you out of bed,
You may start...

Even Bad Guys Do Good
Pirates were known for their notorious acts of

That they were A mean frat
With an endless rum vat
Which got them in to all kinds of troubles on their
Journeys.

Time To Push Back
If we delay pushing back,
Telling others it is wrong to do that,
Putting on a hard hat,
Leaving a one bedroom flat,
Giving bodies less fat,
Chasing the money trail to a fat cat
Smelling a rat,
Going out to bat,
Getting...

Cutting Cheese
There once was a bureaucrat
Whose body made sounds where he sat
It would be underhanded
Were he reprimanded
Without a complete list of stats
So his supervisor kept up a log
Of each time he let out a fog
It’s...
