Long Pontification Poems

for their needs, for the Empire's desperate embellishments,
in place of gold I presented the poor
I told the onery...

Take care of her 
Keeping toes and ties off the ground
Beware of those with savage intent

Beware those of quisling heart
Who seek only to pillage then plunder her 
All those faces leering, cajoling,...

Let’s hear three cheers for the decade of disinfectant!
Clean out your insides with cheap vodka!
Blow your brains out with Nirvana!

Does weed count as a vegetable?

Daily depreciation, mental extirpation exploitation and pontification
Demoralization, cutting down people short of castration or amputation

Society – me arse


Society, the straight jacket of “socially” acceptable mores,
condemning all to a “one size fits all living coffin.
Social “mores”, cultural cudgels of “independent thought”,
ballyhooing the wonders of our differences
until Society’s sycophancy rears its...

I cannot abide po-faced pontification
Faced with which I  want to pull out my hair
Being  more at home in  a festive occasion.

Once upon an under edited and somewhat jaded, 
female’s mid-life crisis
she sat down to contemplate the options of all her
“age appropriate” vices’

“Debauchery deficient”, “depravity bereft”,she 
was "tragically prosaic”.

with,“pitifully archaic”

Pretend happy circumstance

Completely spent
Of all sense – covered in dents

The air is thick with words.
They flutter and beat
About my ears
Like a thousand moths.
A proliferation of pontification
And pedantic pomposities
Numbs my mind
And muddles my thoughts.
Details, details, details!
Minute subtleties and
Nuances confuse, confound.
I feel the urge to shout,
“Simple!...

The shell game moves with lightning speed

Fueled by deceit and endless greed

On and on the pundits roll

Pontification seems to be the rule

No adhesion do we see

As they fracture us into bickering fools

While we’re on our...
