From the rugged screeching of the heart,
Slackened in behavior and chronic pain
Is it time to ennoble that worldwide part?
This is the ideology from which they start
Men ought to rekindle patriotism again
From the rugged screeching of the heart.
Admiring the breezy and the smart,
And now, with clearer touch and brain
Is it time to ennoble that worldwide part?
The weakened loyalty values depart
Neither dogma nor the strain yet remain
From the rugged screeching of the heart.
Not conducted by the heinous chart
That pricked the mass for nefarious gain
Is it time to ennoble that worldwide part?
Reforming scarce constitution and art
Whose emblems are the countless slain
From the rugged screeching of the heart,
Is it time to ennoble that worldwide part?

I kept vigil a hundred hours
I slept a hundred hours
Only to rise under bowers
Streaming with hot showers
Now my eyes mist for things I have seen
Including things forbidden by sin —
Like wind-harried shutters facing and backing brothels
On whose grungy grounds they have conducted betrothals.
I summoned the laity for prayers
But heard they had since stolen in for a hushed seminar
I then crooked my fist and invited pipe players,
Who, in the calamity of staccato tunes, heard something similar.
Moments from now the moon will wane
And the eyes of man shall catch only the dregs of stolen wine
When particles of moon dust rebel and feign
The madness of deposed kings, their tears filled with brine.
I’m broken because nothing is working
The mourning city grieves with singing
While running darkness is spitting and lurking,
Spewing debris of mockery with slinging
Our sins have caught us red-handed
Frost warming alerts an otherwise docile city
When winter hoes up the lewd corners of the land branded
By debauchery and annoying pity.
I have since insured my heart wreck with the heavens
And prayed to be washed clean in the waters of Meribah
After, by the heart’s ease, I had eaten of the flailing crumbs of the leavens
To rid my wretched soul of the harlotic prints of Salivah.
On the first day of Christmas a quiet patrol,
Streets almost deserted, we barely saw a soul.
On the second day of Christmas another easy day
Everybody it seemed keeping out of our way.
On the third day of Christmas suicide bombers struck
Killing those travelling in an old beat-up truck
On the fourth day of Christmas a retaliatory attack
Relatives of yesterday’s dead striking back.
On the fifth day of Christmas back to a relative calm
No evidence of anybody suffering any harm
On the Sixth day of Christmas, we could all hear
The crack of sniper rifles seeming far too near.
On the seventh day of Christmas peace broke out
Again an eerie silence as our patrol moved about
On the eighth day of Christmas the Padre conducted prayers
And called for the understanding of all parties out there.
On the ninth day of Christmas the truce held still
As if being maintained by sheer force of will
On the tenth day of Christmas with tour’s end in sight
Mortar bombs whined in breaking up the night
On the eleventh day of Christmas our tour came to an end
And we were replaced by more rested men
On the twelfth day of Christmas resting back at base
A forty-eight-hour break before return to that awful place
Illuminated stardust sculptured by zodiac’s interpretation,
facets of planets by retrograde motion, back in past station.
The same conjunction like the beginning of the year,
very destructive energies been observed very clear.
The winter solstice set the mark for facing similar obstacles,
blessings from the morning star, that provides the liberation miracle.
Warriors constitution mislead from false fears,
wondrous purest faith and river of conducted tears.
Distrust from false honor providing the useful lie,
restrictive forces will be the evidence to obey.
Too many speculations lost under to many masks,
transformation of psycho into a discipline tasks.
Indulgence and waste as proof of ever grown to deserve,
compassion is the illumination from that star point reserve.
Celestial stations are the point of change, for all must follow,
the fat lady has stopped singing, while the melody still lingers on.
No matter who is elected the chaos continuous?
It’s the self that gets hurt, officially denied so glorious.
Living respect and nature gift given unconditional,
lights in many shades and its stardust’s spectacles.
Given to extend perceptions beyond all,
avoiding the rabbit hole leading to the king and his ball.
The kingdom of souls through many dream bodies,
slow turning light scriptures telling eternal stories.
Aye pride myself
being sui generis
verb hose subject for a zoologist,
cuz webbed phalanges
branch handsomely
from mine feet and wrist,
where perforce great expectations,
asper the next greatest (I SCREAM)
scoop of the month intimated,
conducted under top secret
controlled laboratory conditions
with yours truly (as the de facto
par excellence)
rodent named "Oliver twist"
Lady Dedlock key ping
watchful eye within bleak house,
while Thomas Gradgrind
feigns tubby bad company
during these hard times
temporarily all quietest
lull on the western front
since Donald Trump
detente foretold by a palmist,
whereby said President
of the United States
feeling as an optimist
met with Kim Jong-un,
(cautiously side stepping morass,
viz hit blind side dare devil hoodwinking,
via awe shucks faux bully)
suspending noninterventionist
impact unexpectedly witnessed leader
of North Korea as multilateralist
on historic June 12, 2018,
summit minus linguist,
where fist pumping in Singapore
for unilateral negotiations
offloading nationalism
weighing down
figurative chest i.e. kist
by resplendent sun, where ma lounge
sotto voce, somber solemnly
sober ensemble re: joist
uniting this stately isolationist,
whose approximate
ten stone heft easy to hoist
merely sustains purposelessness
this poem without a gist
hence if Yukon spare one
(or more cruxes) lemme be fist
in line, though first, aye
would need to convince thee
this scribe doth exist!
From the Editers Page... Dear Whoretense
What are We Gonna Do
Bought to by
Ghemps Magic Tonic for Men
My pen pal of several months
Wishes to marry me.
He seemly thinks
He has found his
Certain someone
Some presumly speaking
Is me.
How do I tell him, I have
several others, who adore
my aquaitance and company.
Though we have shared numerous
Exchanges and dates,( the luxury spas
Of $@$@$-$@$@!) I find only interest
in being elusive of his wanting me. He
told me he was both flutist and bassoonist.
I thought he was a liar to have me impressed,
I found in addition he is both maestro and
conducted to a very well known Song House.
My others find my being with him, both
Invasive and concerning!
Dear Whoretence, what am I gonna do?
Sincerely,
Madam Guesser

Currency As Evidence
In that allowance of finance exist it is not done so that a business of borrowing can permit one to subvert the process of owning a business.
Example 1 grants are issued for research not profit or finance.
Example 2 liability can never free oneself
That is to say calculation of entrance is also speculation in addition to conducted crime by intent
Misnomer example
A budget in legislation is for staff salary in government.
Not for extension further.
This would send, will and does create the oversight to negate oversight.
Corruption begins in testimony of observation.
Antitrust
My penny is just
I publish essays
In poignant discussion depth female initiates interruption
Street at "at least I can control the suicide and always be the one who chooses the ending"
At a point in time before an overcomer gets to speak
The past remains
Read into it what you alone will

Codified Allowance of Entry
Several city councilmembers are urging Mayor Eric Adams' administration to finally implement a nearly 2-year-old law requiring the city’s housing agency to inspect vacant apartments after neighbors complain of rats, leaks, open windows and other hazards.
The Council passed the measure in December 2023. It allows residents to make 311 complaints that trigger inspections of empty units in their buildings, including apartments being deliberately held off the market — a tactic known as “warehousing.” Councilmembers negotiated with the city’s Department of Housing Preservation and Development to begin enforcement at the start of this year.
Staff are not allowed entrance to "City"
Staff cease to be staff under violations of city code
Ordinance from high court is reasonable cause
Military engineering research and requisition of city code enforcement
Before technology became widespread
Different ideas every person shed
Experiments were done, executed, conducted
Various discoveries from them resulted
Scientists were known for their countless contributions
Their unending research created new revelations
Genetically modified organisms for instance
Where food, plants or animals they tried to enhance
A sample of this is a modified tomato
The Flavr Savr as we commonly know
It was the first created GMO
Where ripening was made long and slow
Tomatoes are not the only food that's modified
But crops from the farms that they tested and tried
Golden Rice, Bt corn, papaya and potatoes
All rich in vitamins, including the tomato
Plants weren't exempted from this vast improvement
StarLink ang Weathergard they managed to invent
They can adapt to their surroundings' condition
In terms of resistance to temperature depletion
Here are some fun things that happened
On that classic Candid Camera show
A man walked backwards on a sidewalk
People copied him, wouldn't you know?
A man wearing only tighty whiteys
Asked the hotel clerk for a room
A street cleaner starts cleaning the gutters
With a broom handle but missing the broom
A man was pumping gas at a gas station
It ends up costing eight hundred dollars
Obviously, the dial was tampered with
Strangely, he got hot under the collar
A lady is surprised by a job interview
Conducted by a six year old boy
A mailbox that says, “Have a good day!”
People didn't catch on to this ploy
This couldn't happen in today's modern world
Where everyone's on top of their game
Back then, we could all laugh at ourselves
Too bad the time's had to change!
