self emasculated milquetoast
of late ofttimes yawps imprecations
against fickle finger...

Smells Like Government
Rancid lemon rope squeeze
around a rotten tomato neck tie,
crooked odor bow hanging out of place
Acid reflux raisin tax bleed;
dripping spoiled, milquetoast lies
out a sour-twisted, prune puckered face
Tart tongue

The Limpetfish
The milquetoast Henry Limpet looks
through horn-rimmed glasses at the books
and four dull office walls each day.

Wax-filled ears would not hear it.
"Listen, you have left My way!
Wait for My providence and pray.
Change of direction is needed."

His paranoia would send him into a rage

Ghost
The impression i'm getting, is we are forgetting
That we are a people with voices made for vetting
An appearance of truth is flashed to our brains
