Long Lobotomized Poems

Daylight Savings Time Ends – November 5th 2023 means...

discombobulated, harried, and lobotomized
state of body, mind, and spirit triage.

Onset of dark shadows signalling edge of night
occurs earlier as the world turns  
beckoning, hinting, robbing passage...

(alternatively titled: tardy duff fender of assertiveness,
especially after adjusting following insanity clause
affixed with rubber baby-buggy bumpers)

Methinks I nearly got snookered

Zieglerville, Pennsylvania 19492)

I have the heart of a poet
Trapped deep within
The soul of the beast

Everyday I get up
And put on my dark
Bureaucratically correct uniform

I turn off my soul
Put on my phony smile
And my plastic ideas

And go forth...

Clipper Ships

My mother; she wasn’t there any more
Burned away in chemo radiology
Therapy for the incurable
As she lingered for a year
Lobotomized by cancer

But in her dreams she sailed her clipper ships
Sailed away on the mighty Cutty...

Knowing Love When You Find It!

Is love a nectar, random taste for candy bars,
Or gem so rarely found you’d dare a trip to Mars?
Do sweetness, rareness, beauty own their light or wane?
Might wiser pilgrim’s paths...

Nascent thought provoking
threads flit to and fro
unseen solitary pinball wizard
cavalierly fiddles indiscriminately
leveraging outcome

silently holistic thought fragments
strewn staccoto scattershot
attenuated blitzkrieg
brain storm saturates,
par for course sandtrap engulfs,

chaos reverberates within
besieged cerebral corridor,
quotidian mental onslaught
spurns refugee exodus,
psychological ploy asper...

Blistering drought assembles vacant sun stroke’s radiance
An empty solar ray’s destruction leaves waxing shadows of a doubt
Jennifer’s mental wheel chair is leaking slimy midnight oil
A candle burnt at both ends struggles like thundering whiplash
Metastases have...

News and lies

I read about a new type of grass keeping the reindeer 
happy and fat, this news is as far away as the military action can be, by Israel who are not willing to...

It is What it is – weasel words for our times

We live in an age 
Of the weasel words
Orwellian thought police run amuk
Words used as weapons
To limit critical thought
And avoid rational thought

These words are everywhere
Few...

The government’s been lobotomized	
The left and right’s too polarized
The media has us hypnotized		
All the topsoil’s getting sterilized
What have we gotten ourselves into?

Nobody’s talking face to face		
They need a computer interface
If we keep going at this...

yet they thrive.
there's no other way: they like the soap opera.
subliminal, it opens a hole in their brains.
then they sleep lobotomized,
to wake up lambs with stale bread in the morning,
happy and huddled together on the...

What holds us together
has been torn, the unity
of a people split apart. 
Both poles have lost
their grip and rupture
into division.
Categories now proliferate 
and place each soul
into a labeled box governed
by the ideologue.

Word by word, language...

Long white halls that echo with pain,
Where strait jackets lord and beckon with shame.
The therapy numbs and visits are feared,
You’re sane if you hallucinate here.

Patterns of colour and visions of gold,
Prophecy of end-times and things...

Whimpers and growls
Sylphic swaying,

lobotomized cosmic orbs.

When you burn books
Fahrenheit 451
You burn the soul of nations
When you censor them
The mind is lobotomized
Blocked truth, all butterflies die
Never see the light of day
Colors turn to gray
Turn us all robotic numb
Pounding one note on...

And Taketh Away

Locked in a realm undefined and
Unimaginable to the onlookers through
The lens of a mechanical being with
An intelligence and compassion that
Exceeds that of our so-called leaders
Of the “free world” purchased with
The blood, sweat, and...

They say one only can be wise,

Upon the sheen a shine is shone
In the glen, the glow is gone

In places, picking and poking fun
At races, the rockin, rollin run

Sits the dark, in dank despair
Blows the breeze, begone, beware

Chewing cud a curdled...

You want me to sympathize,
betrayal blatant in your eyes,
I can see through your disguise,
treachery is no surprise.

All you do is criticize,
expect me to apologize,
I'm sick of living with your lies,
you, who cannot compromise.

The way you...
