Marcus, as a child heard it all, the oral stories
Ancient in glories quickening his vein. Like blood
Rolling where the Roaring river runs, peonies

Understandable... the sensible
(three ringed circuitous) logic
to trumpet necessity
each individual moost heed
bedecking, cloaking donning,
ludicrous interloper facial covering,

makes laughingstock kickstarting
maniacal paranoid testing yapping
authoritarians blabber ceaselessly

I.
You see them on the media,
internet and TV,
people who say,”Take that man’s cash
and give all of it to me!”

Crazy
Fate mocks People
Fuzzy
How we become a couple

In business, in marriage
Make commitments
To nurture the carriage
Teeming with developments

Cultivated into a caring art
When from the bottom of our hearts we feel love
So smart
We float and fly above wings...

Am I No Longer Desirable to You?		By Robert Denton (November 2014)

Am I no longer desirable to you?
I don't even desire myself.
Angered by bodily dilapidation
That has nothing to do with aging.
I don't even desire myself
The way...

Without a plausible answer,
you let the good dreams live in the achiever...
dreams,not thoughts of an unduly child:
changing domitable ways to wild,
shouting harmful and volatile words!

SACRIFICE!

You cut across my skin
And drink from the wounds of my sin
You cut across my skin
Thoughtless of the agony I’m in 
I want you to cut me again
Sever me thin

Tired of trying to wade through all the muck;
And mire that constitutes what has to be a hopeless cause.
And so you just submit to what appears to be inevitable.

Throw me in a lions pit to feed your sickening desires

Tie me down with barbed wired tear my teeth with pliers 

Chain me up by my feet to listen to my heart beat

Tear from me...

The "IZE" have it

We the people try to Rationalize
the choices we make with compromise

Let's be honest we tend to idolize
and we rarely do apologize

Are rights we try to exercise
to demonstrate and vocalize

But I have come...

I howl with wolves I’ll be back somehow
My heart bruised like the sky that hour before sunrise
When sparrows find yoke in the universe
But blossom as copper in the Apple trees
Filling the cold morning with jingling...

When people succumb via genocide
When stalking rapists spring surprise 
When planes and buildings fall from skies
When murderers conspire to bring about demise
A tear for a tear means an eye for an eye
Plunder the earth as...

The NBA was on strike,
Everyone is in the fight. 
Racial injustice rages on,
It’s urgent for change to come.

Black man paralyzed with seven pops,
No actions are taken to make a stop.
White man gets the special treatment,
While...

Strangling Thistle

Puff grey smoke strings pollute the sky.
Dull minds remain deaf to vigilant whistle,
distracted by the flower of strangling thistle,
while time silently passes on by.

Youth in a basement getting high.
“I'm just doing my job” says...

Recognizing my own rescuing personality in them.
Understanding their sorrow, which they cover up with mirth.

I could see the light in their eyes was diminishing.
Their soul was no...
