Long Pandered Poems

We ponder Pandora as the person preordained

the empire has had enough---
having pandered to those occupying for 2 months now,
standing cute & subtle beside, avoiding aggression

so as to avoid having the footage being posted...

To balance on a bike

you've gotta keep moving

but

 

since we can't

always move

 

our lives will improve

to keep

from falling

and breakin

our crown

The crown you have gained through war and...

Waves of invisible noise rise and sink
As quick as your heartbeat,
And as slow.

And I like to think that you know exactly who I am,
And your smile for me, is not...

The thrust of salvation's revelation;
Straight from the buckle of the Bible Belt -
Crusading on a plan of what they felt:
"The World for Christ in One Generation."

Their causes - all so specious and remote:
Ban dance and...

as things speed up 
at an ever faster clip
they're ready to interrupt
my mind's day nondescript
to mark my thoughts - every tiny blip

and keep them cross-indexed
in a clouded database
kept in the current context
never to be erased
their...

I think back on the women, 
I've graced with my presence, 
Some thankful, some spiteful, 
For the short or long sentence, 
They did all provide me, 
With an honest intrusion, 
At times complimentary, 
With a...

How soon the heroes daughters and sons
  lost in the morning shadow run
     of a distant and clouded sun;
all the dreams that survive

Sponge socks, for walking on your eggshells quietly
whether they're robin's egg blue in the rain
speckled and peppered with bundles of pain
or whether they're white like innocence bleached

As if words can bring back innocence and faith
As if words alone is enough for this angry age
Where his mother died with her eye on the...

What hell was that met me in the night
And drove me from the path of peace?
What vulture sang like robins to invite
My soul to callous carrion's mangled feast?

What act, what word was the anesthesia
Of my...

I am the great debater, and the world my only stage
I prime my proper thoughts preparing for  the lone spotlight 
I revel in religious rants that rage across the page
while I oppose audacious offal...

EVIL'S HORN

Is hate the driving force of our endeavors
the fear of heaven’s myth our revelation 
our sole remaining choice be now or never

existing in the state of self-cremation
pandered passion flaunted in death’s crumbling mask

Powerfully pandered not pondered and plotted 
Ostensibly organic not overtly originally spotted
Liars lipping lethargic lies lavishly construed and truly
Ire inducing ignorance imputing irresponsible foolery
Terrorizing timid tepid taxpayers to respond fast
In an impatient ill illegal inconceivable...

Long ago
a year or so
I received accolades a plenty
I won this, and I won that
I was on top of it all
I was almost the whole shebang
I was important
I was all about me
I pandered and pounded

Only three days in The Country’s Cell
And one won’t any longer feel well: 
The Damned Bizarre with a Killing Smell, 
A place Tortoise loses help from shell,
To be ringing in one’s ears Death’s Bell,
Dwarfing other...
