Long Discrepancy Poems

To the standards 
Of modern verse and composition, 
Lyrics fluidly written, 
Perfect...

The telescreens hummed their endless drone, 
A symphony of truth alone, 
Dictated, printed, beamed so wide,

Finally after twenty two plus
years of marriage,
a husband (namely yours truly -
hitherto known as Matthew Scott Harris)
exhibits glint of care and concern
toward his significant other,

Until infinity
In any vicinity
Let me put it out there officially
I smoke and drink religiously

For the shake of justice, peace...

David sought a vanguard for revolution,
The Black Panthers seemed the perfect solution.
He built them a foundation, it employed his friend,
Until she found fraud and met a quick end.

Betty’s murder raised questions—who and why?
An inconvenient truth...

Let have I ever lied bent the truth before;

Why’s there so much clart along with your message? 
Why does your face rage with indifference, stare? 
When will you realise you’re validating such ullage, 
You’re propounding concern, not honest, but a glare?
