Long Mortuaries Poems

SOLUTIONIST:

Drenched soul placed on a bench,

Edge of grudges they always entrench,
Dreading of fate, that's what they depend.
Trends and hypes risen from their wrench;
Pitching and hitching bit of all been said,

And then the Head Elephant rose from the dead 
Surprising and shocking everyone
All cheered, “He is alive!” they shouted

The opposition wrung their hands, 
Beads of sweat poured from their brows.
They had been so sure,...

Unnumbered human corpses
mutilated and spread
like illegally-shot elephants in Waza Park!
From ‘man know thyself’
to ‘man hates himself’-
humans mutilate humans!

Future-bound glorious infants,
feeble moms

I pause & reminisce about the time when...

There are lot of unfinished works

But still you pierce

What are these you have wrought?

You lack respect for the age of victims

This is extremely...

What do wars do, really,
Except fill coffins
And long strong black cars.

The dead are their business,
Laying up death for rainy nights,
While in store houses stink

Of stories cut short at the slabs -
Stack up like crates;
Pushing to...

Today’s News Tomorrows Blues
David J Walker

Off white
Black typed
Picket fence newspapers
Stacked in racks unread 

Everything said 
	Yesterday
Made news today 
Everyone who bled 
Or bruised made news

In the official records where
Only the dead are
Laid to rest in...
