Staying In Front
Not the best option at the battlefield!
One need not guess what it might at last yield.
For The Lucky bullets that missed targets,
For the less so Take-Away for maggots...
You dream not of daring a real war front,
Save you can humans and animals hunt:
For those who can trains with long coaches shunt:
The severest swipes or blames take

Maga Became Maggot and Did Tag It
a call had been close
after we would put on clothes
went out door we close
when we did tag it
MAGA became a maggot
applied tourniquet
would be sinister
sermon said by minister
about being spinster
what we knew for sure
increased our expenditure
for one more denture
we would meander
creating gerrymander
did raise up dander
poem would write to read
was great everyone agreed
did the dirty deed

If I Was a Maggot
If I was a maggot
By Stanley Russell Harris
The new mad Author
If I was a maggot in the UK today! No doubt I’d have a short life.
If homebred, I meant to say; no doubt I’d find myself in a bin.
With others all a wiggling.
Then someone no doubt will take me out. Into the fresh

The Dog, the Bear, and the Maggot
The Dog is structured,
Always working to preserve,
Familial ties.
Diligent service,
Loyal to love and country,
Strong yet still servile.
The Bear is nurtured,
A hunter in fair weather,
Useless in winter.
Promises plenty,
But bleeds his own forest dry,
Water, trees and all.
The Maggot is cankered,
A hollow soul and stomach,
Skulking forest floors.
Can only scavenge,
ON the corpses of others,
And their fellow man.

Maggot Monotony
MAGGOT MONOTONY
on the precipice I survey
the sea of
stores and casual faceless
crowds, I the planet
lost in the tide
swarming with skulls
thrashing the facades
restless brows
maggots infest the nucleus
until the centre shrieks
like a sheet in
the night, startled by
the intense glare that
neon signs cast
upon blankness and
pointless vows

Maggot
Maggots crawling on the ceiling
.................................On the wall
Hanging on strings of white
I dare not touch
I may only stare
Spray them with pesticide
Slam them on the ground
Bury them in the grain
but they never go away
It's going on two days now
Maggots on the ceiling
Sliced by the fan
................On the wall
The walls are moving
The ceiling is like a wave
They were
