Premium Member 'The End is Near,' We're Accustomed to Hear

    
      ‘The End is Near’
          We’re accustomed to hear
        From the prophets of gloom
           and the peddlers of doom

        First it was overpopulation 
           Earth could never support two billion 
        We’d have to skimp on food, serve c-rations 

        Then came what would surely kill us all
           The ultimate weapon, the atom bomb
               But JFK and Kruschev stayed calm

        Next up was pollution 
           that blackened the sky
        Thank goodness, we didn’t notice
           we were too busy getting high

        All the elites became pot-heads
        Congress and Wall Street were hooked on weed
           which simply increased their phenomenal greed…  

       Lately, ‘global warming’ has become the ‘in thing’
           Doesn’t that have a familiar ring?
       Those who want to ban motor-cars and plastic bags
            Own private planes, their only ‘sacrifice’ – jet lag ...

        As for me, I pitch in and do my level best
             Cut my grass with a scissors, shovel snow with a spoon
        I sure hope all my efforts will soon bear fruit
             Before my seaweed meals emit their last photosynthetic toot

Premium Member On Hollywood Boulevard

On Hollywood Boulevard

Grohman’s Chinese theater, The Walk Of Fame
Awestruck, frantic crowds tromp down the street
A swirl of accents divulge from whence they came
Myth and stark truth clash but rarely meet

A boulevard of tinsel, tourist mecca anointed
Foreign visitors now the sole true attraction
All a hyped-up charade, but no disappointment
Quiet on the set, lights cameras, action!

Remove tourists, hustlers, the Marilyn Museum
Costumed crusaders and peddlers of kitsch
And Hollywood is now just a mausoleum
To a cinematic history dynamic and rich

Just one district out of L.A.’s forty-two
Multi-ethnic, working class, urban blight
Yet in the hearts of dreamers passing through
It remains the movie land of sheer delight

The Old Bulldozer

My appointment didn't show up today
So I decided to hang out and play
I circled around Ellanor's  Park
wandering about  in the dark
and thinking about the road ahead
The rain has just fell leaving mud 
and water on the  swampy ground
The pokemon go gang  was playing around
disturbing nature with their silly sound
They walk up and down the wet grass
communicating with their partners
One by one two by two they showed up and join the crew
As soon as  I arrived more of them anchored down 
creating nuisance and spreading bad energy around 
Luckily the Gods were lingering by to listen to my silent cry
They came down form the sky  and spew them out of sight
so that nature could sing and dance about
On by one they jump into their cars 
and drove out of  Ellanor's park
I closed my car and walked over to an old bulldozer
stationed  on the park's ground
the equipment was so old 
I wonder if I was still in  America
The owner was not around 
so I climbed up and sat in the chair
and examined the levers and gears
I was captivated by a certain power
It felt good sitting in an elevated tower
It has been parked there for many days
Rust and dirt was musing on its face
No work was going on and the pile of sand
stood waiting on the ground for the fix it man
The same roads that were repaired
has been dug up and repaired year after year
The paved parts are lean and bumpy
And when I drive my truck rocked side to side
Where are the professional engineers 
Cheap labor has sucked every penny out of the mill grinder
And America's roads are in danger
I watched them prowling up and down the street
Trying to figure out my heart beat
But I sat in the big old bulldozer scrutinizing them all over
I felt a sudden rush of power
I felt like a queen in her  parlor
And I felt like a queen riding in a carriage
Waving to the magnificent crowd shouting out loud
If the owner was around I would ask for permission
To drive it up and down and through the town
Wolfish  influence peddlers
Big belly contractors and poor skills workers
has feasted on the wallet of the county for years
But now I am in the bulldozer and I am getting
ready to run some one over
America needs a  constitutional face-lift
Here I am in this big old bulldozer
feeling  energetic  and strong 
I am ready to dig up and tear down the remaining barriers.

Premium Member London Time

A step in time I took one day
On specters mist who led the way
Down cobblestones and garden paths
Armless statues guarding baths
Armored beasts reflect the sun
Gallant knights are all for one
Hedge puzzles line the gardens fair
Hide and Seek for those that dare
Ladies clad in whale bone stays
Surreys pulled by chestnut bays
Sticky buns and honeyed mead
Cards and races slate the greed
Then on he led to shanty town
Down rows of tenements falling down
Sewage stench accosts the street
Where doxies in the alleys meet
Walking peddlers hawk their wares
And homeless children, no one cares
Disease spreads rampant through the town
Renaissance Art, the churches frown 
Then through the mist he leads again
Back to my time; my heart to pen.

Premium Member I was born there

I was born in the odds, 
I lived through it,
dotted the lines on my path
I was born among hyenas, 
these scrambling to stiffen the last breath, 
Amidst hurts and hate first from home,

A lot cast in mirage and fantasies,
Hope too soon cut short,
Survival, a struggle, 
Unexplainable Fratricidal warfare,
The closer in blood, the more bloodier, 

A race without consent
A badge of calumny, 
Shot on the heels like Achilles, 
Bore cruelty from innocence to adulthood, 
Unending miasma, the debacles of a short existence, 

Abandoned, secluded,
for reaction occasioned by their own bile, 
Childhood stolen, 
set on a slippery path as they watch a peradventure slide to my ill.
From ambuscade, they drew their swords, 
Their arrows bathed in blood unabated,
Aiming at my marrows,

I groan and mourn in the dark,
Enemies as friends monitoring, 
Friends as enemies watching.
This path not by Choice.
I lived through it, 
A thousand bands of  beasts assaulting,
Into this war, enlisted.

I was born there, buoyed by troubadour, 
Somewhere in Africa, 
My right are taken away from me, 
Where laws are drafted by criminals, 
Where the police pay themselves on the streets, 
Where certificate are mere papers with payments, 

I was born there , 
Where criminals are protected and sanity deemed madness, 
Somewhere in West Africa 
where compassion is extinct
The survival of the fittest, 
Street boys kills to survive, 
Scholars abandon politics to simpleton, 
Where the brightest are critics and cadres prevents the ambitious 

I live there, 
Where certificate is a document to escape, 
Lawyers now charge and bail for survival, 
Doctors protesting like urchins
Poets selling cosmetics, 
bankers riding "Okada", 
Amongst drug peddlers, 
Amongst cultist, 
Where clergymen induce the gullible,
In this cage we call country.
I was born there.

Premium Member Cave Kellers and Dig Wellers

Cave Kellers and Dig Wellers
David J Walker

Christians that go to hell 
will have one
Hell of a story to tell

       In the
Nick of time but no place to
Dwell among tent dwellers the
Cave kellers the dig
Wellers the rhyme 
Travelers the street  
Sellers and day
Sailors the night
Failures the pay
Traders the flesh
Peddlers the time
Piddlers the mind
Benders the fence 
Minders the prime 
Lenders the crime 
Numbers the prince 
Paupers the door
Stoppers the bargain 
Shoppers the grass
Hoppers old teeny 
Boppers  and hogg 
Sloppers with chart 
Toppers and good 
Coppers and hoola-
Hoopers and party 
Poopers and hot 
Peppers and self
Checkers and fat
Backers with back
Packers of heart
Stoppers and flip
Floppers and hot
Flappers and splish
Splashers and party
Crashers and hot
es and bad 
Bastards 

Christians that go to hell 
will have no one to blame
in the hottest of flame
But one hell of a story 
          to tell

Premium Member Today I Will Write About Stars

Today I will write about stars-
Not the usual
Compressed galactic-gleams,
Not the speckling
In deep sky seen,
Tracked and charted
By singular-minded, bright-eyed teams-

No-I will speak of Real Stars,
Day and night stars-
Eternal Stars
Never growing dim,
Burning brightly
From star-dust within-
Not a glow in cold darkness
Between starlight above
But Mysterious Light
Deeper gazers call Love-

Stars that blink
To illumine the poor,
Have learned by faith
To persist and endure-
Stars who dry
The damp
Blanket the cold,
These warm glows
Surrounding
All of God's Fold-
Never dimming-
(A mission to give)
Preaching less-
Word what they live-
Warring on crime
Disease and despair
Never for profit
Simply to care,
Sacrifices not subject
For peddlers dealing in fame-
But God's Asterisk,
His Radiance,
Lighting each name-

This Light is always there-
When one thinks less of taking
And more, to share-
Same Light that shown
From out the tomb,
Giving earth a choice
Between Light and dark gloom-
Light seen brightly
In a new mother's eyes,
Amazed and surprised
That something so radiant
Could come from within,
Not starlight of sky, but Pure Light,
Where all lights begin

Premium Member Anon Under the Gun

Just or unjust, they do as they must
The secretive sect of ANON
They live in a world, where truths are unfurled 
Where justice is served, not undone
Just kids on a quest, to make their world the best 
A time for renewal has come
Born out of sedition, in an act of contrition 
In a world living under the gun


Trust no one no lover, no sister nor brother 
To the whim of their will never bend
The youth lie beguiled, innocence defiled
The rules of play changed to their end
A PLANDEMIC cull, our lives they annul
As part of an old prophecy
The past Resident or the next P.R.esident
Are nothing but puppets you see


The proper recourse, stop plastics at source
Corporate heads know not shame
Sustainable growth has mankind by the throat
Corporations are never to blame
Quick for to revel, in a dance with the devil 
C.E.O.’s climb on the rung
When those left to pay, will drown in dismay
In a world living under the gun


Profiteers will amass, mankind lashed to the mast
Stripped of their will and their verve
The luck of the dealers, unjust freedom stealers
Put themselves before those whom they serve
As illustrious leaders, peddlers and dealers
Repeating the sins of the past
The lay of their game, as always the same 
Since the first day the die has been cast


The Bible of old, as Genesis told
Of hearts that are harder than stone
The Babylon Whore, and the wolves at your door 
Will render your flesh from the bone
The time it has come, Armageddon unsung 
The milk has been soured and curled
A New World in the making, the old one forsaken
Their Masonic flag lies unfurled
