Cosmopolitan suburbs take shape
Form, not far from the metropolis
Streets bustle, enlist design, become cities 
Drawn down the street, concrete solid
Buildings line up one by one
In the calm one structure at a time evolves
There on the...

The Quiet Hypocrisy

A Rant – The Quiet Hypocrisy


it seeps in through gradual osmosis

and soon is ingrained in pliant minds

it mutates and thrives in tunnels of vision

and then is fused into the fiber of unreason

the quiet hypocrisy that...

An Old Wives Tale

Once upon a time when I was just but a little a boy
My grandmother of illustrious memory – told me many a story
A lot of them funny but some scary 
But her favourite tale which...

Only Yesterday

Gathered my belongings and I burned them as an offering
to who I might one day become if I could let them go.
I knew this gesture could be seen as one more case of posturing
but I’d...

Precious Moments


When the opaque nights were starless, 
and the depressing days desolately cloudy,
the journey through the tortuous valley of life 
wasn’t easy as it was meant to be.

When the wilted flowers turned pallid, 
and the defoliated...

Understanding Myself

Many a day I've wondered in tranquility-
Who am I? What was I meant to be?
For friends fail to understand this enigmatic me:
And decipher me to be an unknown entity.
To the world, I'm just another human...

Scared

Scared
   by Odin Roark

Fear saved the fly
The spider wept

Fear kept men alive
While Napalm paved the way

Fear keeps the 1% insulated
Handlers and mental bodyguards 
At their beckon call

The mongrel on Manhattan’s frozen streets
Knows well...

Anthropomorphic


If food for finer thoughts we did not crave,
If sense of purpose we did not apply,
If we did not critique how we behave, 
If dormant laid Alert Judgmental Eye…

If float and breed were our exclusive...

Inside the Teardrop

Inside the teardrop I see elephants roaming;
Voices echo across the waters as if moaning.
The elephants take the form of a child’s size,
They invade the teardrop under any guise,
Coloring the waters with feelings of deep blue,
Until...

Eh

Hope is dangerous in times like these;
I see the actions of others and I just
Can't believe.
I put myself in their shoes, knowing 
that they would never wear mine.
And I try to see through their eyes-...

Feeding the Ducklings

I lose myself by the placid pond
brimming with yellow and iridescent fowl!
Are they held together by filial bond
in that enchanting man-made bowl?

Amorous duo in a trance profound
drift complacently in love's slow ebb
One of them turning...

Chai Tea, Vanilla

"Chai Tea, Vanilla: Writing it All"


We are a cauldron
steeped, stewing bitter,
unlike sweet chai tea

boiling 
and bubbling,
our reality, 

is hard
to swallow.

how do we live
with ourselves,
knowing,

we live
complacently?
we observe,

we write, 

we watch it all,
the killing of 
innocence,

the black

Clown Car

Diseased incubator of mutated humanity
A festering cesspool of rotten ideals, 
And ancient plots of religious restraint
Or the liberation from.
Acidic with greed and selfishness.
Base and seductive, the nature of societal allure
Indulgence, self-satisfaction and gross misconduct
Or just...

We Are All Chess Pieces

We are all queens or kings
Some are both; but only a few.
We know the king is the last to give up.
But the queen is more versatile.

She has all the moves, except the knight’s.

The Selected Poems of Whoever

The Activist

Something happens in our lives causing us to question what we know.
We open our eyes and seek the truth learning more as we go.
The more we uncover the hungrier we get for more understanding,

Swallowed Death

I wade the waterside enticing death.
The sea extols the brash to th’ outermost
Abyss. A ‘know it all’, I challenged this 
Watery host.

I capsized in the tumultuous seas;
I’m in the heart of the abyssal deep.

Crazed By the Process

A creative process
disguised as a French Bulldog
has pooped in my mind-pot,
where I was complacently
growing small obscure weeds.

Muse me, or abuse me you poetry bug,
if you are a stinkbug, I will take it,
fake it until…

Inclinations of Fan

Inclinations Of Fan

Ceiling fan mesmerized the day’s hypnotic flashings
Sunlight fractured through rotating blades
Someone must have traduced it with black magic

False currants of air, created up there

Bush Murdered

If your child was murdered by the owner of your local grocery store
 and the owner beat the rap, 
would you continue purchasing products from that store anymore?
