Long Unwinnable Poems

Something extremely wicked tears
    at the very fabric and nature of his form.
Where he yearns hopefully for a small piece of demented sleep
    but his mind lies stripped and...

nor is our mind between the tensions of love and hate.
That's why I curse this wanderlust heart -
still searching for that wandering star.

We gave Johnny a gun and a uniform
Trained him to kill, in a regiment conform
Sent him deep into Vietnam jungles warm
With little regard to how we did him harm

It’s time to clock in and start up the vacuum.
This cash collector has walked into the room.
Dropping the balances like bombs from a B52.
Improving aged receivables and contacts too.

Thoughts coil around my mind,
Not chains—no, chains can be broken.
These are roots, tangled deep,
Threaded through marrow,

Every struggle feeds them,
Every breath is barbed wire in...

After two decades in the trenches.
An unwinnable war is done,
So is any semblance...

With a “Hail Hitler” minion standing by his side.



Everything he...

To a dripping ceiling in a monsoon rain
To a three sided coin, an unwinnable game
To a moth with no wings eating red super coats
To a pen long exploded, in splashes, it wrote
To four open daisies,...

An infinite spiral downward... a bottomless cavern,
Thinking I'm pulling myself up and out....
When in reality I'm pulling more rope down off an endless spool,
I'm forever encased in this tomb,
A tomb, I myself have chosen...
The world...

When things start to fall.
That's when you'll see the true meaning of your own story.
Complications only make you feel more and more ashamed and sorry.
The only option you have is to keep standing tall.
Nothing hurts...

Every time I look in her eyes
I wonder who holds her when she cries
You would never guess what’s behind that mask
You wouldn’t have the respect to ask
She never lets it falter and fall
She keeps on...

Do we like wars as long as it is at our doorstep

Twelve years...

Wild winter winds chill but leave smooth untouched snows,

To exploit our folks in a capitalist machine, 
To encourage the rich and the poor. 
To make the majority always bow down to the few, 
To fight the unwinnable war.

That created such anguish with unnecessary strife.

It always grows wings and takes flight.
It does not wait or care for...

I’m a racist shopping trolley, 
I’m proud and happy and clean.
I don’t like hanging around with trolleys rescued from the river, 
Beaten up all rusty, and mouldy, and green.

I’m proud I look after my wheels,
Never...
