Facial Recognition Blues

Physicists speculating about a cosmic hologram 
Anarchists debating about the next message from Uncle Sam
The archaic ageing of the technology of the Telegram
An innocent waiting for an answer from an Annogram

Humanity, humanity;
Why? You suffer from lack of apathy;
It’s an increasing deterrent;
Can’t you see, can’t you see;

Humanity, O’ humanity;
You hate me, I hate you;
What do you think God want us to do;
To do

Wooh oh, Humanity, 'O...

Arriving from unknown somewhere
He set up clinic in the market square
Declared he could cure any disease
Using herbal drugs of plants and trees
Townsfolk being credulous
Soon to his shop began to rush
Diabetics, rheumatics, asthmatics flooded
None over his...

You cried when I walked away from us,
And decided to reposition forward to another.
You thought I vacant on the covetousness,
Then to reside in my secure stages of love.
You wept when you instituted that my being,
Cheated...

"The Dreams of Bedes" 

Jewels they found 
dripping like diamonds
from the overflowing viaducts 

scattered on the ground
at the feet of disbelief
barely seen 

shod lost and disobedient
counting the cost for 
unwanted inconvenience

those bridges burn now like
scarlet...

I was reaching inside my closet for my 
most favorite purple
sparkly glitzy top from a Vegas resale shop today.

Suddenly I knew something was different.

I looked down, into the yellow...

Is it possible to die of a broken heart 
While you stand right in front of me
My fever rises 
You disappear 
My world torn apart in less than a week 
No one cares that I...

stubborn at the most
unfortunate moments
and quick with a
flabbergasted wit

he ambushes me from
the alleys in his mind
from behind
where four strikes
are uncommon
and frequently
commented upon

let's try to ignore the
inane flattery and take
into consideration
three screwdrivers deep
the fantastic premise this
is...

A school in a village without any pastel – 
Divine Child which never cares for riel 
Strives for excellence. Does propel
The children upwards and rebel
Against injustice gigantic or sea shell;
Strives to let its stars and...

The union-management talks reach stalemates in their sessions.
Our representatives are attempting to gain concessions.
If we do not obtain better working conditions and a pay hike,
we see no other alternative but to go on strike.

The mischievous Sandman runs a con game each night
After all the youngsters are safely tucked away
He dances into my room like an elfin sprite
He seizes my hand, tries to lure me outside to play

Then he’s...

She’s like a monkey in the morning,
searching through her fleas.
She’s got molding mashed potatoes
where others keep their keys.
Her cloths are an invitation to
voice a mother’s sense of dread
“That’s what you’re gonna look like son
if you...

I cope with commercials 
that sit on my head, 
that wallop my westerns, 
and leave them for dead. 
They shoot me and loot me 
till I go to bed. 

I scream at a stop light...

I am not a preacher!
I am not a preacher 
Who preaches love and kindness
But when my pen and paper collide
They leave no stone unturned
And no life unchanged.

I am not a doctor 
With a stethoscope dangling...

God shifts his weight and half an oak remains.
One soul must die; another life retains. 
I stand a little shaky now.
raise my hand, put drops in my eye, 
A sort of palsy visits me
I let...
