My footsteps echoed in the ears of the invisible
I quicken my...

The angel of the lord
Appeared on TV sets
All over the world

People woke up
Expecting to see
The usual suspects

Talking heads
Talking drivel
Talking trash

Instead
A stern visage
A stern old man
In a dark suit

He had a salt and pepper beard
And long,...

Yet again we turn on the TV
And witness horrible scenes
Of unparalleled violence, hatred and despair

Two teenage boys
Decide to kill all of their classmates
Hold their school up
Bombs waiting to destroy

And the cry goes out throughout the...

hundreds of my pictures on his wall
take the dog for a walk
change my clothes
flashin my eyes as i come back out

the last child that lived here
locked in a room never allowed to go out
no thanksgiving...

It has become painfully obvious that the only way to be heard
is to pay through the nose to be a lifetime nerd,
the way to be read in on this sight 
is to pay through the...

Clouds can be remarkably similar
to the friends lovers and passer-bys
that filter through our daily lives
like unexpected weekend guests
who arrive exactly as they planned
or close relatives who fail to appear
simply cancelling at the last minute
as if...

The bayou sky flies a catfish moon over swamp gators 
And cottonmouth vipers. Accordions, fiddles, and rub board vests 
Make their ramble through the undergrowth hot on the trail
Of a sultry midsummer house party in...

Maria has Gone

She has gone
She has left
Maria is no more
She has no use for players
She has no use for Juan or his slayers

Adam is caught
In the sheets of his deception
Eva Maria has left, looking for...

It’s a hot commodity,
seems as if everybody gotta have it
Possessing something
that gives such elevated status
	is a coveted thing
Desired for the inordinate attention it bring
Ownership of something
that raises the personal profile
		to such gaudy heights
	is a top...

"Lizzie Borden took an ax
And gave her mother forty whacks.
When she saw what she had done
She gave her father forty-one."

Whoever wrote this jump-rope song
About Lizzie Borden got it wrong.
Though she did give her stepmom ax...

I suppose the usual suspects, 
should fill up this poem,
City of lights, ancient pyramids, 
colosseum in Rome,
To be honest I seen all these places, 
sitting playing the slots,
Yeah we’re talking Vegas baby, 
sin city, I’ve...

To the windows the students all go.
To get a closer look at the snow.
The teachers began shouting although
Santa fell down from the sky down below…

The school was in a frenzy from head to toe.

Less tangible than air
but they live everywhere
with an impact more real
than iron and steel

No shadows they cast
though the sun blazes past
nor substance to block
the light that they mock

Yet block it they do
and obscure it from...

Don’t pardon those demockratory quips,
them dishonest mistakes
Unless you love
walking thru a field of verbal cow chips

Beware! Aye lips very often halitosis snip

Here is a rue unpardonable exit tip:
Brown nose aroma
is blew gaslight, pig methane lit...

Maybe I’m too simple
or too shallow
but I’m not angry.
What’s wrong with me?

I was trying to think
of someone I hate,
Jews, CIS guys, republicans,
palestinians, blacks, democrats,
the left handed, authority figures,
central americans, parents, vagrants,
the usual suspects, but I’m...

Usual suspects, usual jokes
Usual banter, usual pokes
Mates forever, friends for a time
Band plays their favourites
And feelings they mime.

Swan glides in and rests on a seat,
Regal and classy-to them she's fresh meat,
Colour has come to their...

In the corner of the flower garden
The ugly rose
Stood alone
No shelter from blistering noon sun

Wilted and burnt
The beautiful ones mocked
The usual suspects in the garden
Gathered together in flock

The ugly rose wilted and dried
As the other...

Every day at quarter to four
There is often a rush to the library door
The ‘usual suspects’ are often there
Sitting on a library chair

They speak to the teacher who they have upset
It may have been deliberate...

our awareness confined to body-mind
to navigate life our ego identity was born
to the truth of being, cognition remained blind 
thus what was boon now bane till ego was shorn

discarding all knowing including imagined concepts

I’m a bit of a mystery, a bit of a myth.
My answer to small talk is taking the fifth.
My loyal troops are always gathered ‘round.
It’s just Santa, Easter Bunny, Tooth Fairy, 
And me.

David Icke
remains untarnished
after years of abuse
he is now a respected
figure, although he remains
prone to the usual attacks
from the usual suspects!

Alex Jones
has been removed
from You Tube
and other platforms
his bigger than life
persona attracted
the good,the bad
and the ugly

My halloween candy went missing one day
  The usual suspects came into play
  The clues were quite easy to unveil
  The culprit had left a candy wrapper trail!

a battalion of horses
prancing around in my mind
snorting and pawing
make my muse crazy with happiness

mice run through their feed
she loves that, it gives her a start
I roll my eyes
not fond of rodents

adjectives on fire ping...
