Long Igneous rock Poems

Mount Rushmore; Carved in Stone

From deep within the earth’s crust,
An orogeny pushes
The batholith upwards
To become ‘The Shrine of Democracy,’
Of weathered presidential faces
Chiseled in rock in South Dakota;
Representing 150 years of history
(From birth of a nation

Past unconcerned hens that distractedly 
Scratch
Under frowning protestations from the
Sheltered Lee;
Into the cloaked shadows lain across the 
Cobbled courtyard,
Behind which squats the twisted form of
The old brooding, arthritic apple tree.
Past the neat little cow-byre 
Hosed...

With canoe and hook of a jawbone
  below a great fish Maui snared,
and his brothers half-crazed behaving
  leapt and gouged in frenzy craving.

These massive creations, are born from...

Always following me in the days vibrant sun.
He's very very like me from the heels to the head
And he's there until I jump into bed.

Hot zones of danger,
dark places
where dense hearts go
Hearts that are cold as ice
Roll the dice ... 
take a chance on fatal corona exploration
Go ghetto orbital
and gamble with your porcelain life
You’ve been whitely warned:
Shun the spots...

Try to open your third eye
Sharp your sixth sense
You can clearly see
This earth is still passing through ice-age.

People would say
This summer was the hottest ever!
If you’d inquire, you must see
The sun is now heatless

When the darkness dies
with every morning sunrise
always the truth remains

When the murky skies
of deception and lies
are made clear by winds of levity

Then all the smoggy hate dissipates,
and every foul injustice abates,
but the truth will still...

If you stopped attending paid classes
Would you sell off your reading glasses:
Gladly, speedily drop out if school, 
When every scholar is thought a fool?

Are you the type, who would rather bend
To an existing insisting trend:
