Long Lemming Poems

Finding Shelter During End Times (1)

Do you think you’d feel pride as the last soul alive
on a planet that dies as your knife pricks its heart
(not alone you’ve had help, the last lemming, perhaps,
to run...

The seductive voice
emanating from the Cyclops eye,
whispers:    Don’t believe what you see!
Only trust what I say,
when you zombie sleep turn off the TV

Have no bewitching faith in your bad dreams,
especially the one...

See what!

Don’t let a let a lot of
skyjack noise 
		         cloud your IQ vision
Radar babies make sonar decisions
for the latest batch 
of tech toys

They be so double...

I never felt I was a fool, always quick to sniff out a scam
or pick out a problematic part of an argument during a debate
I never considered myself a conformist
a fan of music, shows, and...

I am feeling distressed by my feelings of late,
There are people I love who seem poisoned by hate,
People I know are smart, willful Science deniers,
Call truth (they don't want to hear), "fake news" at best,
Set...

It was a smile, simply,
that would absolve me of my virtue ...
a whiter-than-white allure of the unexplored.

Barely a teen, I was mesmerized by her sublime sway -
distant, yet she followed the puerile anguish of my...

SO WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED?

The things God makes happen to me are consistently bad
And I constantly wish that his screwing me is only a passing fad
But alas the things that happen constantly are difficult to...

SO WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED IN HEAVEN?

A
beetle
contemplates
death- with babies,
each one, him reborn.
Fortunately, love's peace,
gives no yearning or felt angst.
Hell arrives, in a spray can's mist.
Instant genocide, heaven's unreached. 

Jury is out. Are we thought, chosen ones?   
Knowledge born, burdensome...

There’s a monkey tag-team of mo-rons

Dumb and Dumber dolts

Elephant Man, with the carrot top sage
He’s a...

I think, therefore, I am.... 
the sum of my thought processes, 
a self-aware consciousness, 
assimilating bits and pieces 
of those whose paths I cross; 
an expanding evolution 
from minuscule inauguration. 
I am a by-product of...

Little piggies in a hurry,
gotta run and catch that muddy dollar
As me rat race cheese-off,
peddling asphalt fumes of a 401k Harley

Punch-the-clock tired worker bees
drone alone in a homely cubicle
Fraidy kitty cats don’t snatch the keys,
‘cause...

Lion 'bout grabbing tiger by tail

Holy mole lee
watch out fowl, balladeer
look out... i.e. donkey kong
primate doth share
footloose slothful writing,
essentially swiftly tailored hare

reed styled mountebank
gets made by mice elf,
an imperfect triangulated square,
while "fake" charioteer
looses neigh scent...

Listen to what the snake charmers say:
We be sulfuric scaly bellies,
flicking poisonous tongues on the telly
Idoly speak pure Orwellie — 
Down is up   ...  famine be a feast sup
Tell money hungry fools...

I loved a suburban woman,
but she didn’t urban love me
as deeply as a brother needs

She said I was too ghetto
But my bank account said
I was qualified gated community

CitiBank gitti ghetto said it, not me

Authority figures, teachers and scholars
Tell me to think for myself;
Then grade my answers right and wrong
Based on an answer key kept on the shelf.

Write a poem that’s unique and original;
No structure - of your own...

Lemmings’ Cliff Run

First you lemming sway to the left,
then you ostrich sway to the right
No straight talk movement is motive necessary

Immature boys
having a bully good time
Plenty wet towel fun ...
doing nude, verbal denigrating

It was just harmless locker room talk,
the unconcerned adults all said

Nothing to worry about,
the pampering voices cooed 
Giving patronizing pats on the head
to...

Another sound byte,
the latest alligator lip lie
Patent leather fake promises
being fed to graven idol sick fools
thru an intravenous video tube

And they willingly give Kevorkian consent
to vote for their own suicidal self-interest
Such an anti-global citizen attitude
is...

Wandering from place to place,
Waiting for the fall.
Longing to know where to find it,
Wondering if they’ll find it at all.

If it comes, what will the result be?

Will it be a crash to black?
Will it be...

I look inside you
I step inside then
Well, well, look what I find here

Is this place Hell 
Where my steps have led me
She calls me the Devil
Well that sounds just like him

Comteplations of direct hits

Stray ghouls are just zombie shrunken heads
being voodoo capitalist misled
Ricochet fishing for the ocean blue, 
deep pocket dollars:
The green algae money 
buried at the ethical wavy, 
graveyard bottom

Hollow days come every pointless, peon payday,
as creditors...

Soccer ball made from granola, dried grapes
Honey, brown sugar, oats, sunflower seeds
Almonds and chocolate chips form the ball that is fun to
Play the soccer game where everyone wins and the goalie eats the ball.
