Misanthropic Melodies

Misanthropic melodies played from a broken violin
Prehistoric prophecies that ignite new ideas before they begin
Telescopic telomeres that formulate a scientific grin
Endoscopic X-rays and a doctor drunk on gin

Valiant human beings with virtue among the discord
Salient...

until after I crucified the Cilician pirates on Pergamus,

Mamma

Before I came into this world you carried
Me for nine gruelling months,
Morning sickness and throw-ups
Is what I gave when you conceived me
And innumerable kicks from within
Unmindful of your pain

I Don'T Know What I'M Writing For

Our Peace

I looked at the horrible faces,
agnostic,
I look at the beautiful faces,
pristine,
I looked for a summer in the midst of winter,

His swastika eyes absorbed
Miniscule details of victims

The guards watched his every move,
Dragged apart the chosen ones,
The ones his nods imbued with gravitas,
Unnatural...

When suddenly, hysteria screams EMANATE from all around.
A boy innocently was playing is SWIRLING through the air
He had triggered that mine not knowing it was there.

Weightless

Lemon rind smile
and three winks to the moon

On the ocean floor

And we hold hands still.
Bubbles blowing up
