Long Refinery Poems

The wrath of God
Was released in that day
He watched his son crucified
And then raised him on that day appointed

A glib giant of the river borders 
The discerning ears of the ancient Power, we mourn
Where caravans cascade to unseen voices 
And the rumbling of avalanche bullets invades our peace

The birth place of world war II
after an invasion void of any declaration.
Stamps on history’s book by feminine hands
to ascertain the first death sentence of the same human disaster.
A time frame marked its stolen identity
signifying...

Initially we florish and feel comfortable. 
We till the ground and it yield much flowers and fruits for food and finance.

Here she comes
Walking down the road
To a machine gun refinery
Where she just won't know
Where she's going
Down the path of pestilence
Or on the wings of resilience

Traitors Come Alive 
They wallow in the darkness
They never reveal their sadness
These treacherous things blame you for their madness

Blinded by your kindly ease

Most Valentine poems are about love
and rightly so,
but this is a true story and needed to be told.

Somebody lost someone today.
His mangled body on the 
refinery grounds did lie.
They were working on...

In the dentist's chair, I prayed for death.
tried not to breathe the dentist's breath,
the "laughing gas" didn't seem to work,
I felt his pliers twist and jerk.

I dreamt of a huge catastrophe,

Raw body language, no matter how meaty
Verifies a desperate mind in need of a refinery
Even if one can pay the bills of New...
