and seething brink of lunacy

Internalized emotions wrought
quotidian psychological oppression
retrospective reflection courtesy
20/20 hindsight reveals absolute zero
positive development of body, mind, and spirit
extreme agitation compromised

born free and clear of obvious defects
minus alien aberration, Russian collusion...,

Evil is what those devils will not conceal.
At Goliad, we tasted their bayonet steel.

Winter fetches a hillock of the wind and downpour.
Exacerbating people to mislay their blight core.
Peculiar demesne keepers are utterly aroused. 
While tiny dwellings, slums are bulldozed.

Flush breaks out among the poorest of the poor.
Thoroughly jiggling,...

Our nation - at a crossroads now
With intersecting planes
Of concepts much at odds somehow -
Exacerbating strains.

The Democrats perplexities:
A "Heart without a Head"
Explains irrationalities -
(Dysfunction - simply said).

Republican proclivities:
A "Head without a Heart"
Explains their personalities -
(Flatlines...

Pain so debilitating
draining me of life
It is constant
with no respite
Saps my energy 
such pain within

Pain depletes joy 
from my face
Leaves strain and hurt
etched on my frown
As slowly and surely
pain grinds me down

Even when I try...

MAGIC BEANS


There was magic in those beans!!
Colors - reds, greens, blacks,
savory flavors, and sweetness,
sweetness to ease the uneasiness.
They became a sought after reward,
payment for being, for existing,
payment to an unknown need.

Age changed the beans.
The colors...

I am deprived of your true love.
I inhabit any other planet than Earth.
I’m suffocating due to a lack of your love.
I’m losing the gravity to hold down your love.

Deceitfulness is exacerbating the situation.

When we went to the Hillary rally
To debate' rules they had adherence

Stricken souls gasp amid rapt tension
And surreal panic as the world spirals
Under throes of exacerbating fire;
Trapped between numinous brawls. 

A virulent pandemic subsides
As near-nukes its pedestal take;
Stubborn fear every limb guides
Amid unceasing numbing awe.

I slipped on a teardrop
Landed in a tragedy
People with twisted minds
On random killing sprees
No legitimate reason
Fueled by ignorant hate
Politicians turning their heads
Letting guns proliferate
Unspeakable heinous acts
Leaving a trail of grief
Justifying murder
For a radicalized belief
But selling...
