Long Skyrocketing Poems

The Alaskan Oil Pipeline

Nineteen sixty-eight confirmed the year
Of discovery by ‘Humble Oil’
To North America’s largest oil field,
On the North Slope of the Brooks Range;
A west to east Northern Alaskan mountain chain.
An area forty miles wide...

Shame and guilt sabotaged mine healthy growth...

and let yours truly not forget emasculation
that prickly emotional immobilization
whereby these lovely bones 
subject courtesy senescence 
upon cremation reduced to obliteration.

Inching closer to mortality
linkedin with concomitant
subtle deterioration of body...

Lemme regale you with splendid and fabulous exuberance

Despite being an amateur
paperback writer wannabe,
whose storied protagonist
stars colporteur wannabe
(thinly veiled cover as yours truly),
whereby his antagonistic doppelgänger
donned as a frotteur trumpeting
animalistic, chauvinistic, egoistic,
averse to gradualistic, individualistic...
narcissistic, opportunistic...

If the world were a soccer ball I'd be mighty tempted
to kick it high to kingdom come.
After what I learned today I feel ripped off,
feeling the sparse warmth of a dimmed out sun.
Pray tell who...

We Are One (Nigeria Remix)

Ever seen an eagle feeding like a vulture?
Dignity trampled on, where corruption is a culture?
Darkness threatens her future, cause of her shapeless structure 
it’s saddening 'cause she’s been richly blessed by...

†††††††††THE UNFORGIVABLE VOYAGE††††††††
Tears trickled through my face
As our vessel threshed the deep.
Seagulls flapped their wings on
The beach as I watched them 
Disappear before my sight.
I wished to belong to their 
Colony if that meant staying...

The Bull (El Toro) of Wall Street

With nostrils aflare snorting hot air,
El Toro charges the markets.
Where capitalist investors
Feud with socialist harbingers,
Who are taking money from wealth creators,
To distribute to others for political power.

El Toro barrels...

Societal Issues & Perilous Times
By: Miracle Man
5/20/2021

Today, we are living in a world of chaos,
where many are engrossed in driving wedges.
Anyone who is different is fair game and racist.
Social justice, woke, and Cancel Culture is...

{"We sat in the veneer of our chimney that wasn’t infinite. 
Eyes sealed, inhaling and exhaling the smoke. 
It was alluring to witness, to sense the crackling of melancholy of the conflagration. The smoke conveyed...

Eyes shine with the proud tears of a nation reborn

Oh to be in England on a Summers Day
Said Shakespeare

I must confess 
I can't ever remember an Indian Summer
As Sun kissed as this 

The garden grass has turned crisp brown
The tree's are...

Let the final countdown begin
Proxy war in Afghanistan

The 38th divide of Korea

Every morning upon rising
Routinely searching my vital signs
As a poverty stricken person
Searches pockets for spare change.
The grim news reports,
The skyrocketing death tolls,
Mausoleums more populated
Than the emptied churches,
Many desperately seeking God
From the confines of their dwellings.

I...

as the hypocrite talking head
seeking re-election in 2012
tells us all that this empire (which continues to wield its
sledge hammer upon the world)
this “land of the free”
(who demands that all others follow in its 
dirty
&
bloody
footsteps),
is one...

Life is short
But love can be shorter 
I wonder if love could ever be overwhelming 
I wonder if we could ever get tired of love
I wonder if we’d push people away because they love us
Is...

   How dare you try to shrug it off, Joe

Growing are the grumbles
By a Gathering of Humbles:
A skyrocketing effort to change an unchanging Dinah,
In figures, now closely chasing the population of China:
The grumbles, a fast succeeding siege against the judge
Now set to hit Justice...

Oh my gosh I have another view on those poems I posted an hour ago,
About the break up with my boyfriend and the color of the disgusting snow.

My self-esteem is skyrocketing through its collapsing roof,
With...

Peace slips lightly
Over my shoulders
Downy in its softness
Its netting of gossamer
Floats downward
As a willow's branches
Might brush fate
And touch the unknown
I stand with beauty
I hug airiness

Fire in distant trees
Burnished red and gold
Drop their leaves
One by one...

You set me on fire
Sizzling, blazing, devouring fire
Hot licking flames
Infernally hot
Temperatures skyrocketing
Scorching flares
Shooting out of your body
Searing into mine
One more moment
And I’ll cease to exist
The heat excruciating
Flames spread across my body
A wildfire from within
Combusting again...

Civility where have you gone and why have you gone missing
Since you left, all I hear, is an awful lot of hissing
No matter how I try, to avoid, unpleasant situations
They pop up wherever I go;...

But even a poet must eat to survive, I had to forcefully declare, 
Unfazed by an old friend’s insistence to write just for art’s sake; 
Gone are the days when poets created just for the...

Every once in a while laying in bed
My mind wanders 
To places I have never been before

Time, events and places 
Previously unknown 
Appear in the mirror of my mind

It is though I can touch them
