Long Snobbery Poems

1
Though still within our infancy, 
we strive to thrive, but woefully 
we flash and flaunt our 'primacy',
display our trophies pridefully.
 
Our terra firma ecstasy
destroys survival's harmony,
lays waste to life on land and sea.
Mankind, thy name...

When I was in grade school
I was, already, 
on my leftbrain dominant path
toward acting the intellectual snob.

This, in large part
my best offense,
my trump card, sadly,
against marginalizing prejudice
of our community's non-farmer economic
and political Elite;

The few kids
whose...

In a world burning under the weight of its own infernality,
Empty words destroy suffering like a lost art.
Those who write only for applause and hollow idols birth dead phrases,
Devoid of pulse and blood, fragile facades...

From any and all who can see 
as I see,
From most definitely me; my

buried deep. 
To they who worship at the 
high places of the Valley;
To the bright cultists from the...

He has a Roman nose, bright eyes, flashy teeth,
Chocolate brown complexion,
Features which animate only when he interacts—
Otherwise, typical unscholarly looks!
A nonconformist in religion, a revolutionary in spirit,
A stoic in practice—

That damn weekly times (circa 1900), 
Afternoonified with Gigglemugs
sending me off my chump
Editors Half-rats, Not up to dick,

Genderfied, I am
A woman of incredible script,
stylograph committed,
deemed a whooperup,
yet her prose is
umble-cum-stumble.

The longing expressed
through the lovers...

if it earns me more trips to the mall.

a dime will still be worth a dime.

Now the battlefields are bared

Prone to bloviation pure and simple

Giggling in the Sun
 
Remember when everything was, 
And without judgement
Returning to its innocence
Closer we were
To the spirit then

Nothing prejudged by a child
Simply beneath the sun
Nothing more
Than acceptance unconditional
 
Then 

When do you think 
We...

In convolution's  twist the puppets dangle
And by intellectual snobbery
Confound themselves in obscure philosophies
Within this miasma of strings
Bring thier selfrighteousness to weigh
 And heavily obey the populace

Puppets mouth the marionette of speach
Chatter with placatory promises...
