“Worm! Your honor; 
Witness the decline of the American Dream, 
a demise right on time. “
I surmise…
The death of democracy, 
our blind rage for insane things. 

Lies are truth and fiction is Fact. The blind...

The Capitalist


It was dark out
winds from the north
branches swaying over granite graves
The night seemed ominous

Akin to a journalist (hoofing
NOT huffing on the beat)
heedful, mindful, and pain fully aware, bleat
me, asper caveats help me set sights
tacking within parameters of lawfulness,

when questing without sparking browbeat
upon my person, or worse...proceeding toward

Saturday - Draft 4, turned to Sunday but didn't finish as revising and editing doesn't seem to be my way.

Inevitable as storm prediction

It's hard to breathe-poor respiration
Stomach hurt due to a combination 
Of starvation and constipation
I feel like bad inflation
I need deflation
Get me a doctor to perform the operation
To make it in this world its mad desperation

By constraint and definition
are they so outlined
in the pockets of feckless charity
so circumscribed
and life be ruled by gutless fear
the survival mechanisms
and judgmental machinations so conspire
to pitiful wealth

Life
for all those in spiritual aspire
drag their heels in...

Superficial Smiles by Shane Cogan

A trapped house can be worse than a prison
Cell doors open daily, a sealed house door never
Guards who snarl or smile is a guard forever
They also torture, but you found your...

It’s difficult
To contemplate
My F8
A sad ending to relate
A psychological way
To masturbate

As I progress
Thru my allotted years
I face and analyze
My internal fears
And shed somewhat regretful tears

Of not doing that or this
Reminiscing
Of what did I miss
As I...

Fireflies’ Prelude
By Stacy Savage (Indiana)

The sun surrenders
To the sky
As the moon awaits
With his winking eye

To begin his routine
In the rosy wake
So the sun may take
Her needed break.

Fireflies come
And bid adieu
In their evening performance,
Right on cue,

Above...

Within the confines of my nearest Zoo,
There’s a place that’s off limits – it’s not for you.
It’s where the animals go for therapy,
As animals have issues just like you and me.

It’s here where all the...

Darling, I’m thinking of getting implants.
Right fine, I was going to the gardening centre today, we can go together
No, silly, breast implants.
You already have two breasts.
I want bigger ones.
How much do they cost.
Eight thousand pounds.
What,...

A silly superstition enwraps and grips me, 
It holds me and will not loosen its vile, crushing deathgrip:
It is a numerical one, this foolish superstition to which I have my subscription, 
For this is the...

A pleasant fall day
	out for a drive
a few errands to run
	in warm afternoon

traffic was light
	and the weather was good
and I thought that
	everything was going good

then with my ear
	I heard a strange sound
wasn't sure what was
	like...

May I have the attention of the soup please,
some flies have been tainting and 
contaminating the contents, 

Some think they are been infiltrated by non paying members 
like myself, that actually believe if they subscribe...

Each day foul critters infest our house
Though not by slipping in like a mouse
We just press a button
Or buy a subscription
To get news wrote or spoke by a louse

These creatures of the two legged kind

The subscription to fear is surrounding and growing.
Leaders without courage depend on exploiting.
I guess they never learned how to dig deep and resist. 
How many times logic and facts were dismissed. 
Shocking to me since...

Armed with abundance, infinity dictates
Charmed by assurance of blossoming supply
Fruitful hands encircle orchard's offering
Boughs bestow nourishment ripe flesh provides

Harrowing hunt, road collides with horizon
Narrowing options ominously herald hardship
Frantic hands grab due to doomsday prediction
Equity halted...

she hung once more upside down from her own cross

nails painted crimson and blood on the ripped loin cloth

which barely covered her conscience gripped by desire

and meaningless slaughter on the spread sheet of acid

Did you ever realise that one day you could be gone,

You’d close your eyes

Never to open them again.

That the world for you would stop,

But would continue for the rest,

 

Did you ever realise that one...
