FROM WHITE HOUSE

I ham aghast at increasing banality, deviltry, ferocity,

   imbecility, liability, obscenity, rapacity, ugly

   offal popularity witnessed by Donald trump

hence aye aerate thoughts, 

   how ass a nine...

Life flashes by in a moment of time.
Late twilight’s rose fades, the sweet songbirds leave.
Though we strive to remain in reasoned rhyme
All living will die, the joyful will grieve.
What vision can guide us? What blinding...

The winter of 1621 in Plymouth was harsh as could be,
The Pilgrims were sick and sorry they'd come,
They missed their warm English beds and their tea.
The still ambulatory shivered and shuffled about,
As they grinched, and...

I care not a fat hairy fig
For your task to decimate
And predicate my world
With such villainy and hate.

You evaporate the sunshine.
You bring nigh the distant gloom.
Like a pestiferous browsing parasite
Intent on some impending doom.

Crawl! Crawl...

THAT MOTHER MARY WAS A REAL MOTHER

They teach, they preach, and reach incongrous conclusions for their congregants
and do so with arrogance
because the preacher has a predeliction toward facing Satan toe to toe 
as he gathers...

A pair of blue wings is hovering
against the inky black covering
within ‘Little Fox’ constellation
of Vulpecula designation,

portrayed with stipple sidereal
in Hubble image ethereal,
‘Hen two dash four three seven’ labeled.
A hen with fox is Aesop fabled,

except it...

on behalf of the little guy
deep behind enemy territory
welcome to the nameless republic
all good capitalists want a monopoly
all good physicians need you sick
the National Antidote Party broke down the door
I told them everything I know

Transaurius

Divined from a thousand novellas
On the cusp of hallucination
Somewhere between the monastery and the circus.........

Devoid of any specious goodness
Deficient in any and all pragma
Having escaped from several weddings
One if by name, two if by shame

Resonant...

Years I have banked there, we’re almost related,
Today given notice account(s) terminated, 
It turns out their fine print allows without cause
A denial of service! It’s fine by their laws!

Well this Heritage, I found, has specious...

The thrust of salvation's revelation;
Straight from the buckle of the Bible Belt -
Crusading on a plan of what they felt:
"The World for Christ in One Generation."

Their causes - all so specious and remote:
Ban dance and...

Our stone-age brains are single-minded:
we seek to hurl our genes into the future.
Display your fitness, man, and ride the wave
of giddy, girly admiration!

The muscles, music, mines and millions — aimed to convince 
and often to...

Trudge home
All alone
Can’t condone
What I feel inside
Can’t abide
What constitutes
My whole
My soul
My hope for
What is to come
What is to some
Their whole life
An allergy
An allegory
Of their whole existence
Their whole subsistence
In the long drawn-
Out years
Rolled out in front
Of...

To run honorably, or not to run honorably--those are my options:
Whether ‘tis wiser in the main to malign
The lives and motives of my foes
Or to defend myself against their charges,
And by defending . . ....

Once I drank milk straight from the carton
And guzzled beer out of a can,
When I dripped gravy on my tie, I licked it up.
But though my manners were appalling,
One habit I would never fall in,

DEATH WAS THE SECRET AND  DOPE WAS THE PRIZE

We had so much back then to apologize for
A thousand things, perhaps even more
There was the broken, the smashed and much of the cracked
We did a...

I’ve burned the bridges surrounding me,
Given harsh lashings tongue to the innocent,
In the heat of angers emotional rush, ignored
The pleas of the hungry, homeless and indigent,
Yet mine own kindred, turn warmly at me and
Forgive mine...

Have we embarked a Ship of Fools
By forsaking the Golden Rule?
And, have we formed a neutral state
Sitting astride the Fence of Fate?

Our devalued civility,
Desensitized humanity,
Deprecated charity,
By deranged personalities.

Appeasing now a mindless guise -
Alternative truth's specious...

You must create, it's not for another, 
your specious needs to delineate.
After decades, I, walking life's treacherous 
highway with no God,
Thinking I was sufficient unto myself and 
needed no spiritual prod!

My life had an empty,...

DARK ALLIANCE

The alchemists of old sought transformation into gold
But today in an alliance with some modern necromancers
They have gained their fondest wish, created riches now untold
Since for every bane that’s real or hollow now they...

We cowardly or nonchalantly sit in front our TV
Watching for years: the killings of babies
The odious humiliation of humanity
The bloody murders of pregnant ladies
The iniquitous insults of innocent civilians
The deactivation of so many ingenious poems

Monstrous, talking, evil thing.
Spouting out lies, verily, daily!
And we?
Whatever news it spouts?
Many drool over every word
as truth, like helpless louts.

It should have a truth-o-meter.
Instead it is a spreader of hate.
Not of good, heavens, never!
It's only...

You can surely prevent your loss

Your happiness, you only hold
You can make your ideas gold

For your health, you are the master
All the good habits, you can muster

You can be...
