Blood Sprinkle For Religion
A horrendous act
that could only be imagined
as Insidious and contemptuous
Many were massacred
Thousands displaced
The Hausa Militias took over
Zaria was in their palm

That could only be imagined
As Insidious and contemptuous
Many were massacred
Thousands displaced

Cupid Knocks
Some Cupid kills with arrows, some with traps.

War waged with red ribbons and lights of white.
The lights pure, expansive, deep and wide;

War waged, why you wonder; the...

He had balls to impose his mask and mascara onto instant applause

Begging For Lisbon
I walk my life, a subway station
Where dirt consorts
The air around.
It pounds my nape,
It flames my mind
With sights and fates
And sounds.
Above, a tram goes up the alley
Tinged with canary hue.
Below, my wit:
What void, what valley:
It...

About Abortion
Humans shaming us with deeds vile as any satanic rite
Lumps of flesh dumped in alleys under cover of darkness
Blessed not to know life, spared a sorry plight
From biological parents who met to sate compelling desires...

on the road to futile self-imposed slaughter

Gus
Many are the 'characters' I met while serving my nation.
Seems there's always one who stands out in every organization!
In Bermuda (where I fought the Korean War) was such a cuss.
He was my bunkmate and he...

Dreams In the Bunk
Dreams in the Bunk
By Sy Roth
An aching tired eats away,
Slurping at his soul
Yearning wakefulness from the darkness.
He heaved.
Sigh in a soft world of crimson-waving flowers
Dancing away to his numbers etched on him,...

Traveler Without Rucksack
Traveler Without Rucksack
By Sy Roth
Aloneness, the traveler without rucksack
Beats the miles into your feet
A bare necessity for the nomad
For there are morns and sinking suns to see
In the endless desert of our lives.
The arroyo quickly...

Moon Confession
Have been accused that the splendor of love has my praise,
constant change and its stimulation for the awaken days.
The longing, the calm, the touch and its astonishment,
illimitable desires, its creative expression and still content.
The many...

Golden Shovel
No storm as unpredictable as she
who leaves annihilation where she walks;
no telling what intemperate mood she’s in –
a maelstrom that conceals a sultry beauty.
No effort to be fashioned as we like,
instead, a growling snarl behind...

Adolescent Years
Immediacy of the moment doth youthful heart beckon
With trite passions that seem to standardize each deviation
Intemperate fodder with which sprouting limbs must reckon
Growing pains producing physical appetites beyond satiation
Carefree days frought with moments of indecision
Sheltered...

Harbor of Incontinence
In loves harbor moored in the dock of regression
and anchored in the quicksand of incontinence
as briny waves of inconstancy wash over my jaded bough
scouring my white-washed deck over and over
leaving the silty residue of bartered...

Intemperate Trail of Love
Lofty oracle did with ceremonious rite fealty ordain
Two eagles soared on fecund mountain terrain
As twin peaks, sipped frothy dew from Venus's fountain
For a fortnight, rapturous clouds danced o'er my satin mane
But euphoric heights could not...

Wooded Cottage of Highwayman
Nestled deep in the tawny, drab woodland
Sedate cottage neither haughty nor grand
Sparse hovel of unassuming, itinerant brigand
Martial decor of detached highwayman starkly bland
The etched path sculpted by intemperate hand
No manicured garden on the scrubby strand
Briers...

Strange Sacred Feelings
I need you wild,
intemperate,
uninhibited,
and free
I need your feelings of dread and frailties,
stresses and uneasiness,
bad dreams and complexities,
defect and pity,
outrage and disarray,
tears and catastrophe.
I need to demonstrate to...

Chilled Love
From cold, distant hearts frigid
air doth circulate
Downy blanket no longer the
surface can insulate
Icy stares a corrosive wind
doth instigate
A sheltering family no longer
the gale can mitigate
Frostbitten minds numbed to
their pending fate
