Fool Circle

They said they can’t trust what I say 
Cus I lie about everything each day 
But lying has never been my way 
The attention span of adhd 

It’s just an effort I don’t make 
It drains my energy being fake 
It’s much easier to just be honest 
So that is me and that I promise 

Mates of mine lie as a habit, 
Transparent lies so very tragic, 
I’d watch them lie as it entertained 
sticked to their story which never changed 

When caught they just kept going 
It was so stupidly mind blowing 
Why bother when all are knowing 
On and on their lies kept growing 

I would just face up to facts 
Not interested in blagging back
Nothing ventured nothing to gain 
consistently lying is oh so lame 

Call me lazy there’s no point at all 
You get caught out and look a fool 
But pathological liars think it’s cool 
It’s makes them think they’re successful 

Call them out they get offended 
They turn against on the offensive 
tell lies about you and people listen 
believing it though logic is missing 

And the story is spread around 
becoming a most common sound 
Until all have heard it before
And becomes the truth for sure 

And done before you are aware, 
Judgement anything but fair, 
When you protest your innocence 
Lying is what people sense 

The lie is that you are a liar 
So guilt is the outcome of the trial 
And my mates have been successful 
Conning stupid and the next fool 

Slander is a real life changer 
Close people become a stranger 
But who needs those one sided people 
Who must be sinister or simple

So I don’t try to win over anyone 
Why would I when most are dumb, 
It rocks your world to its very core 
Get up get on and see them no more.

Somers Town

Born in a high rise, low mind concrete prison.
Delivered gift wrapped to a predestined repetition. 
Bars on doors,  on windows and wrapped around my mouth.  

The loudness of silence.

Unknown entities draped in faded British bulldogs holding pints and childhoods, one in each hand. 
The family men gathered whetting their lips with hops, hurt and hate.

Loose Knuckles and loose lips both sink women, I mean ships.

Warm dead paving, a lifetime of chewed up, spat out offerings littering the estate like a Jackson Pollock altar.

Sacred violence. 

The bikes piled up on the green, a can in the spokes, a flame, a bike missing, an R.I.P plaque on a wall.

The smell of BBQs, the feel of brick walls baked from sun and slander, the sound of beatings in the distance, the taste of stolen innocence.

Sirens and sadness - a Somers Town soundtrack, 10 blackjacks, a panda pop, and a boy who didn’t make it home. Another child who died alone. 

Will I ever be happy here?  Free? A story of redemption? 

Escape. 

Will I make it or just another obituary from the council estate.

Premium Member Mr Middle- Grounded

We're sashaying around in bubbles
trying to keep that fragile equilibrium
keep the soul at 98.6 degrees.

Sooner or later, they'll come with pins/
Dipped in poison called a different opinion
Bubbles will pop and out pours the venom.

Black hoods, brown hoods and white hoods
slinging bull horns, bats and banter
from Chicago to Boston to Portland 
it's all the same sloppy slander.  

You're tilting left - I'm tilting right. 
Where's Mr. middle ground?
That sweet cream of democracy rapidly shrinking
in the mighty maelstroms of dead dreaming.

Cue balls and eight balls trapped in green sockets.
Madmen and rich men, aiming cold, eyeless rockets.
God trapped in the corner pocket. Quite pissed.

His Piffle of Drivel

An ogre is seldom awakened by poetic lines
but he shakes his fists trying to slander others.
I laugh at his desperate attempts at writing.
Delighting in his flawed efforts at metaphors.

On all fours this ogre creeps around like a spider
Oh what distorted webs he dares to weave...
when he deceives those who do not know
his penchant for whining and absurd cries of wolf.

He aspires to climb to the peak of a mountain
but fails miserably with each witless haiku.
Do not fear in the false bravado of the daft beast,
but feast on his raves as he digs his own grave.

Imagery is lost among his gibberish blabber...
a rather nondescript description of such bluster.
His script is not clever, thought he thinks it is so.
He doesn't scare me or those who know... whatever

Inanity is the work of such a bootlicking fool...
a tool who yammers thinking he impresses others,
but a jester dances for those who seek a false throne.
Does that ring with a piffle of drivel to anyone but me?

Psalm 28 Poeticized

To you I call Lord my immovable Rock,

Give ear to my tearful plea;

For if you leave me to those who mock

I shall at the bottom of the deepest pit be.


Hearken to my cry for mercy

Because I call to you for help,

As my nerves waltz and dizzy,

Prayer shall be my immediate step.


Do not count me among the evil,

The hypocritical who in secret slander

And think that your eye cannot behold

What great malice their hearts harbor!

 
Repay them what they have to others done

( Let them regret  when and why they were born),

Since they show no regard for the works of the Lord;

Their eyes are away from the way of God.


Thank you for already my cry you’ve heard

For you’re my refuge and shield;

You’re too my fortress and strength,

And the sole source of my health and wealth.

Lost Art

There was a time
when we waited eagerly
for the mailman -
when mail deliveries 
had actual mail in them
 
There were real 
hand-written letters 
from parents,
cousins, children, friends,
maybe a lover,
perhaps birthday cards 
or get-well wishes
or postcards from far off.
Now we have e-mail
instant gratification –
no waiting for days
Jot off a note with 
a click and it’s there

No more long pages of
small talk about family, 
friends, the neighborhood,
or a new recipe,
things that make
letters enjoyable.
Now mailboxes overflow
with advertisements 
unwanted catalogues 
political cards full of 
slander of opponents
and dubious information

Most of all, requests
for money, accompanied by
unwanted and unneeded
tote bags, return labels, 
t-shirts and greeting cards -
all paid for with money
supposedly sent
to provide help
for some needy cause
Trees sacrificed for what?
junk mail, trashed as soon
as it’s out of the mailbox!
What of all the history
gleaned from letters 
over the years?

Most e-mails are deleted.
Whatever could be learned 
from them is gone.

The written letter 
has become a lost art.

Election Time, Fun Time

It’s fun time
Election time
Don’t say
I don’t care a dime
If this is so
You’ll miss 
The highs and the lows
Some call it
Dance of Democracy
But you see
It’s no graceful dance
But Shiva's ‘Tandav'
Pulls, pushes and shoves
This is politics'
Rough and tumble
You have to screech, scream
And not just mumble
To be heard
Above the election din
Slander, abuses and accusations- no sin
Calling each other names
That’s the game
And, as for the voters
Election season’s prize catch
Those who can 
Make the leaders 
Win their poll match
For them
It’s raining freebies
They know 
They are being pleased
By something called
The party’s ‘manifesto’
They can see through
Your's 'All truth'
The other's 'All lies'
Now, let’s wait
Till May 23
To know
Which way
Rolls the dice.

Premium Member The Time Has Come

The time has come to damp down gridlock and polarization
  For the country's citizenry to treat each other with basic decency
    To stop resorting, at the slightest offence, to righteous indignation
The time has come...

The time has come to stop shouting and screaming, to restore civility
  To stop finger-pointing accusations and character assassination
    To stop the invective, the slander, the libel, and to act with dignity
The time has come...

For leaders to get off their soapboxes, to cease the endless bloviation
  Not to promise 'free everything,' to promote fiscal prudence, feasibility
    To acknowledge the populace's apathy, to lift the veil of total frustration                                                                     
The time has come...

Willow Tree

I seat beneath the Willow Tree and wonder what tomorrow will be
My hands and feet feel so free
I close my eyes and dream of what tomorrow will bring 
I wonder about land and how it all began
Before the man ran and got his van they set their plans for a better tomorrow. 

I look up from my slander and ask what have we become the wind blows so harshly throughout the Willow Tree I listen closely and hear was this might be. 

I look to see the land is not what it use to be it just full of what man wants it to be 
 The willow tree asks me can't you see what it used to be, there is only me!!. 

The Birds have flown so far and in between with no home for a song to get them along. Bees buzz around the willow tree why can't man let it be?

Some Man Ticks

Aye haint gonna mention anyone by name,
     and git myself poisoned
     with deadly tocsin, a most wick
kid demise act of vengeance cheap trick

boot Mayan tent to write this poem,
     a message came tummy mind rather quick,
and fuel a contrived rumor hoop fully
     spreading like wild fire
     from this nada so sainted Nick

juiced for pure sport and to kick
start and spellbind denunciatory, deprecatory,
     and derogatory unfounded slander
     toward one country bumpkin,

     who lives in the sticks of Hick
ville, and unfortunately
     shares the same body as me,
     an old curmudgeon full of (lix) spittle,
     with lovely bones that crick,

thus, while spur of the moment whim arose
     (take bull by the horns
     asthma late grammar used to say), aye chose
to hash out matter of fact playful verse,

     while ma doppelganger doth doze
and trump scathing "FAKE" news expose
zing ambivalent (nee loathsome)
     punishing sentiments 

     ach'n ma heart
     with daggers of icy sin tax
     directed as rhetorical linguistic floes
vicariously experiencing euphoria,
     red hot poker glows

within the scabrous, tenebrous,
     and villainous haughty yahoo
an unprepossessing, quite,
     and nattering kooky human

     immune to voodoo
he coon sitters himself smug,
     throughout every single sinew

of his (and mine) corporeal essence
     directly descended
     from storied Machu Picchu of Peru
yet his (ah, and mine)
     suppressed genealogy branch

     also includes, an a meow
zing small percentage of Neanderthal Jew
evidenced by genetic test 23andme,
     which helps explain primate characteristic

     dragging (sic) hairy knuckles,
     where thick callouses grew
thus aye conclude 
     (just in the nick of time

     as he who must not be mention) drew
a breath upon awakening
     from a nap bright tailed, 
     and bushy eyed anew.
