Premium Member Super Poem 54

With a peaceful plot 
My Big Game betting tickets I got 
It seems they have a European divide that has an opinion for three nations that do try 
With the American football putting gold and leadership on the stage
This message should be healthy for any age. 

According to my results 
That still have no faults 
The British are selecting the Chiefs 
Since their Liverpool Reds had the right beef 
On their way to being number one 
In matches that have no playoffs and are there for entertaining fun 

As for the Italians Inter Milan 
Was the prophet able don 
As they selected the art of the deal 
With a 49er’s meal 

Now there was one that took the middle of the road 
Since that was what the French know 
Metz made the decision with scoring being the priority mission 
Their ticket prints out Chiefs/49ers over 54  
And if that happens it will be a nice payoff that will head out the door.  

Right now, the half time show is on the floor 
And ten ten is the score 
It seems not to be a bore 
But it is moving very quickly fir sure  

With the draft coming here soon 
This game being played under the moon 
is the final seasonal visual NFL shield display 
And hopefully one will say 
Everything was worth the pay 

But as for the British, Italians and French 
They are not sitting on the bench 
Since their matches are next week 
And continue a heavy message they do speak 
With a respectable peck on a cheek 

In every small village and town 
These games keep the peace before things go down 
There are skills learned 
That will keep one from getting burned 

As tonight’s wind blows outside 
Keep in mind of this poetic guide 
It is not the winner loser that is newsworthy 
Maybe the fact that a war is needed instead of someone being apologetic and sorry. 

Carry on all you physical entertainers 
And hopefully someday a point will be made to all those complainers 
Let our lives be lived with much respect 
And put in perspective that lucrative check 



There is a reason for all this 
And aggressive behavior can be missed 
Put it in competition where it belongs 
And that is indeed a nice thought for any lyric in any song.

Standing there,
                                                     are they prisoners 
                                                    to the surroundings?
                                                     Or, are they part of
                                                      the surroundings
                                                         themselves?

                                                     Toned, muscular
                                               they’ve become nature’s 
                                          fastest, as man adopts them
                                         for sport, for pleasure, for hunt.

                                                         Some, being 
                                                purebred, set records,
                                              become newsworthy, or
                                            even the odds on favorites.
                                            While others, still beautiful 
                                            become destined for work
                                                  or become glue for
                                                           childrens
                                                               use.

                                                        In respect,
                                                      the horse of
                                                  today is the very 
                                                same horse of the
                                                past and remains
                                                     the horse of
                                                      tomorrow,
                                                         God’s
                                                           gift

Alien Invasion

Predator drone recording:- 6.00am
 
The dawn sky dramatic 
Multi-coloured in rainbow array
Mutating flares of crimson reds
One portent Wednesday.

Overhead the predator drone motionless
Metallic silver it's planed wings
and tip pointed nose

Alarming to view it's presence 
Though reassuring to see it remain
As alien activity increases
In newsworthy reports of the same

Covert surveillance monitoring
Is commonly known 
Also equipped with combative technology
Has this futuristic drone

The troubled nations looked skywards
From parliament offices, homes and schools
No communication has been received or ventured
As a stalemate seems to prevail

At 6.30 pm on Thursday
A bombardment of ferocious intensity
Annihilated a mountain range
Within 30 seconds as dust cleared
The landscape now had changed
Once where there were mountains
Only a rising mushroom cloud

Panic was endemic 
As satellite news worldwide spread.
Communities in the vicinity
Had collapsing buildings 
and the people laying injured or dead.

Countless areas were targeted
Cities razed to the ground
People as headless chickens
Madness crazed were hunted down.

Total annihilation of the human race
Was the aliens only goal
Governments faltered and fell
Young destined to never grow old.

The authoritarian levels of society
In bunkers down did go
As the skyscrapers monopolise
stood as gravestones over the
crowded inhabitants below.

No help could be alerted
from the defence forces,
ambulance or police

People decided to die in their homes
With loved ones silent in their grief
The old order had been toppled
No-one could envisage the end

Then, Monday at 5.00 am

An ear piercing whistling
continued without restrain 
Ear drums were shattered 
No-one could withstand the pain
Making everyone left suicidal
that was the alien's game.

They entered the Earth's stratosphere
at midnight on Saturday

But there was no human civilisation
No-one left to positively say.

Premium Member The Haunting Adventures of a Dirty Blonde Knight-Mighty Ego Trip

Escaping from the wintry plight 
Fearless knight 
Having golden locks 
With a physique like a rock 
Walked up and down the mountainous block 
In the village filled with sweets 
And treats 
Back at the romantic villa 
A few miles up the hill-a 
Mrs. Knight was petting her coyote companion 
While spending a moment getting tannin
“Hubby looking around 
This quaint enchanted town 
Something to bring back home 
To me resting all alone 
After performing that physical feat 
Due to melting snow from summer heat” 
Tending to his well groom locks 
Plenty time on the clock 
Still on a hero stage 
Preparing to put name on the newspaper page 
Going into the office named “The Traitor Post” 
Easy conversation expecting to coast 
Probably receive a kind professional toast 
Sitting there was the Editor acting the role called a host 
“Le Claire is my name 
Sensationalism is my game 
I will take your account 
Whatever it is about 
Make the paperboys scream and shout 
Headlines blaring 
Information worth sharing 
All of which has meaning 
Newsworthy and beaming 
Never considered just dreaming 
As the knight explained his story 
Where the avalanche was sorry 
Feeling like number one 
Doing the interview was quite fun 
Mrs. Knight on the other hand 
Watched the frozen ice stand 
Far away taking out the garbage cans 
Wondering if the warming trend 
Will make the watery based particle bend 
And send 
Down the slopes 
Giving everyone no hope 
Seeing her coyote inside 
Ready to guide 
Waiting for her groom 
Returning under the moon 
Walking at night 
Faithful husband and knight 
Stopped by the Indian Trinket store 
Encountered a lovely seller on the floor 
Needing excitement since she was bored 
Knight still had power 
Leaving a flower 
Near her working computer tower 
Next to a signed photo 
Showing the knight shirtless and bolder 
Before heading outside where it was colder

The Pretty Boy Paradox

Vexation seeps through sighs 
As the pen finds comfort 
Sharing the same story

Nonsensical pretty boys 
With smoke cloud habits 
And bloodshot ponderings

Vaunting on their 
Newsworthy delinquency 
With incessant metal bar consequences 

Promulgating in the same breath 
they’re gaining 
New ground 

Breaking the cleanse 
Of poisoning 
Their liver 

And feeling the linear 
Coldness of a countertop 
On their nose

With a half glass of water 
In a ring of loneliness 
On their nightstand 

The gulp of insomnia 
Rudely digs its hook of candidness 
In your empathic being 

Melodramatic memories 
Of empty dinner table 
Upbringings 

Spending school nights 
Placing cigarettes 
In plastic bottles 

With front porch 
Heart to hearts 
With their second self 

Pulling the sleeves 
Of sweatshirts once borrowed 
Over tattooed knuckles 

Shivering against the disbelief 
That loyalty in this town
Is only face to face 

Rehashing 
first heartbreaks 
With the outlook 

That mistrust follows
Demons 
That look just like you 

The way you 
Introduce yourself 
With skintight beliefs 

Low cut distractions
Met with 
Amorous disposition 

Abrade their thoughts 
Of you from tantalizing 
To discomfiture 

And their ears 
Can’t handle 
Opprobrium especially from their friends 

When you would 
Put fingers 
In yours like an obstinate child 

Just to keep
Looking at them 
With oblivious blissful daydreams 

Even if you were 
Stumbling drunk 
Out of their broken front door the night before 

After learning 
They sent flowers to someone else 
Like a man with his paramour 

Leaving your existence 
In a blighted state 
Surrounded by empty walls 

For
They
Took it all 

But don’t worry 
The guilt of breaking your heart 
Is easier for them to swallow 

Than the nausea 
Traveling up their throat 
With the spew of your adoration

Upon Contemplating What To Write

Who decides what historical events adorn
textbooks students read,
     hence a starry notion born
grew up while

     this lumpenproletariat day dreaming,
     Asian aw shucks husky
     husbandry furrowed brow gritty farmer
     barnstorming across

     expansive fields of baby 
     (barely) barley corn
crib bed crop 'pon harvest time,
     (an maize zing genre), especially
     when enriched with humus

     laden loamy muck cob bra,
     then aye delightfully
     trumpet from dehorn
of good 'n plenti kernel Sanders gave me

     saluting rank and file fool's capped
     fecund fashioned earthborn
dunce sing tassels,
     versus growing seasons gone by,

     when draught of ideas forlorn
despite futilely blowing on my flugelhorn
high and dry reap peat head paltry yield,
     asper when this strapping chap

     a sweaty backed greenhorn
pondering why agrarian laborious life of toil
     omitted as part and parcel of "newsworthy"
     posterity sagas deeming

     shenanigans of highborn
and/or "FAKE" headlines crowd inborn
noble folks,
     who grease palms of industrialists,

whose quaking self importance
     thwarts aside rural cosseted
     krummhorn grounded bumpkin mor'n
     how kapellmeister coaches bourgeoisie

helping determine
     zero absolute value of newborn
fated to slave away
     till body electric outworn,

yet paradigm shift of
     (butter late then ever)
     jiffy popcorn version
sown by seeds of Jethro Tull,

whose bonhomie with brio didst reborn
agricultural revolution took root,
     whence before long some did scorn
and lamented machinations

     ordered simple existence ripped and torn,
where antithetical views suppressed
     and unto revolutionaries
     became legion and well-worn.

Premium Member Least We Forget the Girls' Killing Cry: Apropos the Boko Aaram Girls

LEAST WE FORGET THE GIRLS’ KILLING CRY
(Apropos The Boko Haram Girls)

                i
We no longer hear
the screams of the young girls
nor the whimpering
of their little brothers—
nor the echoes of falling tears
of grieving widowed mothers
and the muffled hush, hush, hush
to new born babes.

How much longer
must we awake
to another morning
we wished we never lived to see? 

Mornings where
the horizon’s plains
are dotted with earthen keloids
of humpbacked graves
in overpopulated makeshift cemeteries 
where food crops once grew.
Horizons reminiscent of 
the screaming echoes animating
from departing Middle Passage ships.
  
                          

                  ii
How much longer
must we experience nights
of damned deranged dads—brothers
roaming, ravaging, raping
sisters and slitting mothers’ throats;  
damned deranged dads—brothers  
driven by a demonized illusion
of the Nile goddess of fertility;
intoxicating themselves
with chalices of their families’ blood?
How much longer?!!!

How much longer 
must our daughters remain
forgotten victims
Of those who’ve lost the free
in freedom—like those who’ve sold the in
in independence—lackeys 
to and of ancient slave masters
who’ve learned well 
the western ways of deception?

                    iii
Unmoved and no longer
grievously concerned,
the world mesmerizes itself
with a deceived sacrilege image
of a revered Nile goddess.
Meanwhile, defiled bodies
of African girls
are no longer newsworthy…
these wretched of the earth sisters
continue to suffer ethnocentric
rape and gendercide: perpetuations
of free roaming…hoodwinked brethren,
inebriated with neo-colonial genocide.

While Up and Adrift In Cloud 9

While Up And Adrift In Cloud 9...

Reprieve from damp,
     and rainy, or sultry weather,
     I schlepped a
     light weight Shaker
made folding chair
     out upon Jim Baker
Nabor's green acre
and once enthroned

     as a " FAKE FAKIR"
in rubberized web
     bing (seam ming lee
     lapis lazuli trimmed),
     this body of mine
     lapsed into Quaker
state averse to focus attention,
     gnome hatter eyes fixedly glute

to the pages, sans
     newsworthy printed material,
     to apprise and jute
keeping me astute
with major local and global
     journalistic burning hotspots
     whatsapp pining (the
     most recent issue Newt

about Gingrich commendable
     TIME magazine), boot
with rather light
     breeze tolerably blowing
temperate, moderate air currents
     enveloping this here ole coot,
who aint got Hoot
tee and the Blowfish, nor toot

from no mo' magic flute,
thus by natural
     dint cocked mean
looking head (you figure out
     which one) between
the devil and the
     deep blue seas tureen,
which gaze extended clean

skyward to cerulean vault
populated with strunk
     and white tufts
in stark contrast did lean
in to the verdant rich green
sward abuzz within
     invisible micro ecosystems
niched and stitched by Jean

E. Huss flora Dean
and endearing fauna
     minted quartered gene,
which hubbub of variegated
organisms sound
     accompanied motley crue
     of each scudding soundcloud
shape shifting bill

low whee near weightless
     (cottony ma their) keen
stern preachily mass stir,
     then puff (like 
     a magic dragon),
     no more easily seen.

Premium Member Fake News V Gospel Truths

Good news
grows healthy outward actions
from inward integrity attractions.

Pathological propaganda,
fake news,
grows conspiracies
and black magic outside my door,
From unconscious accidents of ignorant mistrust
and deliberately mendacious distrust.

Good news plantings,
waterings,
fertilizing outcomes
harvest polycultures of healthy wisdom--
more good hope-filled news.

Fake news evermore outgrows paranoid 
fake absence of historic news,
lack of weed discernment,
drought of PositivEnergy,
toxic salt and bleach
build sick subclimates,
monocultural worship
desecrating MotherEarth's healthy karmic grace
with more red Ego Outrage,
anthro-centric bad win/lose business
trending toward lose/lose
absence of secular LeftTruth
and sacred RightBeauty
gospels.

For example,
Today, in the USA,
declares FakeNews Incorporated,
Donald John saved everybody
in the whole world
from the horrors of Green EcoTherapeutic Cooperatives
restoring Health/Wealth News--
Positive organic energy
devaluing derision of evermore deflating
FakeNews competitions for market share.

Yes,
that,
AND Donald John saved no one
currently living on RealTime PlanetEarth
with contagious bliss of more Integrity
through RightBrain ego entertainments
observing adrenaline-soaked
over-heated competing subclimates
of pathological Fake Busyness
pushing nothing healthy--
merely more WinLose
trending toward LoseLose devolution,
counter-revolutionary absence of anything
PositivEnergy newsworthy.

Gospel narratives
grow healthy multicultural salvific actions
from Left with Right integrity attractions.

A Cultural Anomaly -- Prose-Poetry

They were Hollywood farmed; the girls, the pink and blond feathers-
shoes on their heads, but when they began to give birth to human 
chickens there was a national outcry. Cops cordoned off each home 
where an avian pregnancy had occurred. A comprehensive 
government birth control program had fallen short;
the girls had mated, but with what?

The chicks (we called them chicks), were hairless, not bald, feathers
as thin as needles grew from their heads, but the skin was plucked
as if some evolutionary edict had demanded they be retail-ready.

The off-spring were quickly taken away for cold-storage.
Within hours each young mother had been represented by agents.
Legal teams coalesced around bewildered families. They were told
to say nothing, sign nothing, promise nothing, but they did.
The girls began to talk.

None of them could recall having strange sex. They social networked,
argued, trash talked, became best friends forever. Giggled on
‘Late Night’ talk shows. They composed lists of their favorite things. A 
chorus of tweets became raucous.

The unusual births were sporadic, incidences became less, soon there
were no more reports. The media moved on. The girls struggled
to stay newsworthy, were medicated with drugs manufactured
by masked workers. Gradually they began to shop in small groups again. 
Their behavior closely watched by celebrity therapists and 
ornithologists.

The girls kept their shoes in designer shopping bags and on their feet.
When asked why they had once placed shoes on their head,
they would run away clucking hysterically.
