Victorian Wonder Years

Duchess in her finery 
Duke in his chair
people wander round
looking without care


Taking airs and graces
talking with a plum
searching night for treason
drinking too much rum


Livery boy falls over
lady screams in fear
was that Queen Victoria 
leaving out the rear ?


Abused and mistreated
maid’s hurry about their toil
cooks in the kitchen
covered in grease and oil


Cats lay in the wicker
dogs are in the bins
orphan child gets sicker
rags don’t warm a sin


Waste flows through streets
rarely washed or swept
whores on the corner
working off her debt


Bible was the only book
church ruled the land
sometimes a dangerous place
to play your last hand


Grandmother reigned in glory
Hanover rulers stand
Victoria’s wonder years
played to a brass band

Brrr

5/16/20
"BRRR"


During a lull
I took a stroll
And began to mull
Brrr
This world is cold
It's dangerous like a black hole
From the North to the South Pole
The same ole' same old bull
being sold, just like souls
For gold
And full
Control
Meanwhile continual items being stole
As the bells continue to toll
You'll
Probably cull
Something with wool
Only leaving behind a skull

Brrr
People will bite the hand that fed
People will shoot you with lead
People will leave you for dead
People will chop off your head
People will act like your friend and then
People will stab you in the back with an object with a sharp edge
People will push you off a ledge
People will kill you over bread
People will tend to often believe what they read
People will watch while you bled
The ground around turning red
People will take back what they said
People will say it's all in your head
People will says it's the alcohol and prescriptions meds
Time and time again
People will do anything just so that they can get ahead
When 
Will it end?

Brrr
Shiver me timbers
Humans still bicker
And continue to differ
Out to make others wither
While struggling with pills and liquor
Was it always this way
Or are the people of today
So much sicker

I see too many being bitter
Out to hinder and injure
Whatever it takes, so that they're the victor
And richer
Even if they have to leave you at the bottom of a river
They wouldn't dare call themselves a sinner
Only a winner
This all paints an ugly picture
Like some of what was written in scripture
At that point, what really differentiates us from critters?
When there really is so much to consider
My message has been delivered


Brrr
Yes maam and yes sir
What was done for him or her

Black people vs the world

No your burdens are not for us to carry 
We know your game 
You fake a smile 
Bat your little eyelashes 
Pretend you care 
Then reveal your true motive 

You want us to fight your battles for you 
But when we need help
On your end all we hear is silence
While you sit back and watch the violence
Unfold while you ignore our calls 
For someone to care about our people 

You try and manipulate the situation 
Cry your fake tears as manipulation
And beg for compassion
You people of colour should stick together 
But the responsibility to keep you safe 
Always falls on black people 

You claim we're allies 
But we don't want your performative smiles 
Just for you to go ' blind '
To a black persons cries 
So why are you surprised 
When we sit back and rest
And your not gonna make us feel guilty 
For the same things you've done to us
So instead of relying on us for comfort 
How about you become accountable
For your actions 
Because you've seen what the world has done 
And still choose to not help us
And then get mad at us, you are so hypocritical 
And say we're the problem
Even though you are a person of colour
Know some of the struggles 
Because when push comes to shove 
You'll choose whiteness over blackness
And what's even more sicker 
You participate in killing us
Just to get bonus points 
From white people 
So when you ask for help, just know that we're done

Ten Hut

12/20/21


Ten hut!
Can't let up
Even though, it can get messed up
Really F'd up
Do not get fed up
Keep your head up
Stay sharp, don't get set up
Careful where a disagreement ends up
Heads up!
Many fast to wet up
From the legs up
To the neck up
Bleeding out a color similar to Ketchup
The proof was there or quickly got swept up
Prices continually went up
Falling behind, because you never kept up
Get your bread up
Often in life you'll have to step up
Sped up
Engines revved up
Couldn't let it go, so they dredge up
Old news they spoke and penned up
But I did my homework and read up
So you're about to get shred up
You'll never surface, even after a check up

Kept mine, others went against their own word
Too late to sojourn
At the point of no return
Due to a slow burn

Often went through the wringer
You'd think I've been on Jerry Springer
She wants the whole world and a gem on her finger
Meanwhile around the corner death always lingers
Hit them with another zinger
Hook, line and sinker
As I continue to tinker
Ya'll can be some stinkers
I always put on a blinker
Soon to give up being a daily drinker
Becoming a complex thinker
Avoiding any gold diggers
Feeling vigor
It's time I'm onto something bigger
Don't need to reconsider
Even though many are quick to pull the trigger
People continuing to bicker
Remaining bitter
Known as a fibber
Caught up on twitter
It's been pleasant or gotten sicker
Going well or down the s***ter
Staying clean or full of litter

A whole nation hooked
Easily getting cooked
And forsook
They never caught on or looked
Strength, dedication and heart is what it took
Couldn't find it all from a book
Had to put each foot
Through miles of soot
By the end they were shook
Or tried to portray me as a crook

Not a big fan of dungarees
Getting tired of all this gluttony
Too much redundancy
And puppetry
Still living sucker-free
Yet another attempted to humble me
So I got the upper hand suddenly
Their soul the devil took custody
I continued on triumphantly
Cautious of who's around as company
She's just a tease
And he's such a sleaze
Try to touch my cheese
Then the trigger of a gun I squeeze
Doesn't matter if you run or freeze

3 Senryu and a few Limericks

an eerie shadow
a hand touches my shoulder
....a double parked broom

shrieks in the graveyard
skeletons in the moonlight
.....a timpani of old bones

arched backs and Mohawks
claw marks and a hissy fit
......broom stick rumble seat

The Corona virus mask
creates a Halloween task
how to eat candy
even when handy
the same problem exists for dad's flask


The witches and ghoulies are running late
rushing with potions to seal our fate
if it gets much sicker
I'll just use the clicker
and move to a colorless state

A Letter To Whom It May Concern

A letter to whom
 it may concern 
That Cancer, aids, corona failure of kidney and heart etc
Incurable and deadly diseases are not the way of punishment. 

   Mistakes make both
   Educate and sinner man
    But selfish man can't judge
   What he had done. 

   Then punish him 
   Such  the cruel way
   Looks injustice and cruelty
   And against your divinity. 
  
  For Challengers or breakers 
  Of Your Golden rules
  Almighty impose power
  To punish them in You. 
  
 The victims is poor and innocent
 He doesn't know the way, 
 How to live in your world
 So he is not worthy to get punish that way. 

    I shall pray and beg
    Ten thousand times and more
    To pleased You 
     So injustice remains no more. 
  
 Please bless and gift me
 If I bow my head in your honor
 By stopping and replacing 
 Deadly diseases very sooner. 

 It is depand on You
 Make people sicker and mighty
 So once more consider 
The rules of panel code Almighty.

Broken system

Doctors like road workers
Patients treated like squatters 
Nobody working, just sitting around
Waiting for people to be in the ground 
Cups of tea and coffee are plentiful 
Only staring at screens like we’re unacceptable 
The vulnerable unable to speak
Unable to ask questions and critique 
No communication or explanation 
Just constant need for evasion 
Buzzing around staring at the floor
Being told we have to be grateful and adore
These people who don’t care
Basic human decency is too much, not fair
Walking around like zombies
As if their job is a part time hobby
Children play doctors and nurses
They more passion and more verses
The sick get sicker while they wait
The healthcare system such a state
Too much paperwork, not enough patient time
This lack of humanity should be a crime
Treatment is inhumane
You wouldn’t leave an animal in so much pain
Ignored for hours, days
Meanwhile they get far too much praise
Nobody attempts to care
While people are in despair

Bloodlust with'n Perversion

With present great, O’ gracious hate
O’ hand in heart, neither tripp’d nor fear’d
Doth thine conquer, by thine of corrup’d lips 
O’ Sicker thy pour’d thine sicken canst
Thy chanc’d on seated heart
Hath thy slate nigh single sinner hips
Wither’n hither if b’yond, where’n nought 
With’n ernst wouldst prove best
O’er hung upon the dislocate 
O’er hung ‘mongst the rest
O’ implor’d thine harvest 
With thine of wicked hand
Thus thou shalt do, howst thou shalt plunge’n.

Murth’ing sex hold at thou’st darkling sight
Dost seem plung’d thou’n thy thick night
Night form foretold milk’d thine breast
Thou shalt b’sworn, bitter’n crest.

In swinish sleep, O’ grace of gurnish hell
Trammel’n surcease, deceit upon brow
Unknowest known, tak’n eye upon foe
How’st for, thou played’st most foully for
Give solely sovereign sway, sworn o'er swell’n,
Poison’d chalice, O’ in wanton fullness
Fall’n O’ fallace upon th’other 
In punitive hail, O’ fall,O’ fail
How’st dare’st do’n all, O’
Doth crown’d th’thorn t’prick th’law
Thus thou shalt do’n, Thus thou’st forlorn,
Esteem’st th’privy procreant cradle
F’rapt fools of foolish valour
Succumb f’certain tongue’d desire, thou
Shalt reign ‘pon th’heavenly galore
For th’Christened babe 
Wept ‘pon the cherubim whore:

“Great Glamis! Thou art shalt be, slain th’head ‘pon the Heaven’s decree!”

Hast form’d a kiss’n heaven,
Doth thou callst th’pure
Why hath th’crown crowd me by livid, in my stir
Ever hath thee crown’d withal
Hath borne a light, 
So to withdrawal.

Premium Member Sick Old Bird: Collaboration

There once was a cranky old parrot
who had all the charms of a ferret.
She went to great ends
to get rid of friends
and now lives in a draft-y garret.

The draft made her sicker and sicker
which caused her to bicker and bicker.
She tried writing verse
which made matters worse
so that she would bicker much quicker!

She couldn't stop coughing and wheezing.
Her vanity there was no pleasing.
The truth of her curse
was no gift for verse
which she blamed on all of the breezing.

This made her get tougher and tougher.
Her verses got rougher and rougher.
She wouldn't stop writing,
but kept on delighting
in making the whole country suffer.

BY DALE GREGORY COZART

The parrot soon dropped off her high perch
From the top of an old silver birch
Now she’s no longer squawking
And her husband is walking
To see the old bird buried in church!

Premium Member Not a Four Letter Word, Still Yet

Even Then

He’s not lost his smile
Had it since he was a child
His heart still longs to hear
The words that some will fear,
“I love you”… three little words
Who reach beyond the hurt,
Sing gentle to the heart,
Bring music to the thoughts
His soul – it is not lost, because 
Above all, love has brought him through
The dark, the storms, the doubts – 
Jesus settles every skeptical breath

He’s not gone without this feeling,
Hues of hope, coloring him brilliantly,
A vibrating sense of peace and promise,
Arriving on the stone cold silence,
Bidding joy to his aching – grief born
With the final word, his doctor’s diagnosis

Cancer, he’s heard…

Still, he’s not lost his smile
He’ll continue for another mile
Hoping for healing, yet the verdict
Revealing that he is sicker than the words
Stage four, will he make it past the month?

Cancer, he’s heard…
Can silence his nerve, stir up discomfort
Throbbing in the bones, stinging
Aching anguish, failing to reconcile
Restore his smile for that last, lonely mile
