Long Top heavy Poems

The mirtangist may never willingly hear

mothers and nieces
Fractured ways of thinking
Cool-aide drinking
Caught between 
real and false
Can you feel we’re all sinking

False prophets
We have become our own religion
relying only on ourselves
for every decision
Believing the answer
is...

All for one
None for all
A house of cards that will
Bring about a great fall

Only a select few

With illegitimate claims to fame

The fern spreads out to form a perfect fan,
A pleasing show with pristine symmetry. 
Proud fronds with discipline, a splendid sight

When top-heavy Trudy went drinking
She noticed the men were all blinking
Her low neckline falling 
Dear Lord, it’s appalling
That Trudy’s own “three eyes” were winking

The minutes count down
To a day starting
Which I'm too tired for
I can't imagine full functionality
Eyes that blink
Instead of clamp closed
Breath that goes in and out
Rather than sits and waits
The change from the horizontal

well, it's happened!!!
they're nearly here...
galactic travels
of many a year....

death rays for nasty soupers
who speak with nasty word

either way, it should be cool
when saucers land
