Malingerers Poems


Damsel in distress

Amazing, breathtaking, charismatic damsels
ensnaring fierce, gallant heroes into jaded knights 
languishing malingerers, nincompoops,
ostracized plebeians.
Question rises surely then—
Undeniably verily, why?
Xenial yeomanly zeal!

Bombs Before Oor Bairns

...And I'm pleading with the powers, yeah the ones who love their state. Where its profits before the marginalised in this strata'd play of fate.

And I'm screaming at the mongers, selling a malingerers parade. Where its bombs before "oor" bairns in this warhorsed "social" state.

First past the Post... Equities of disease..
Living wage infractions..
Become this bourgeois wet dream...

Carnivorous cancers...
Form Vito's of class.
Still the price of a pound...
See's who's first and fears who's last…

The Devil's Will

He will come to call 
if you neglect your P's and Q's, 
if you dabble in the black arts, 
or forget to pay your dues. 

He'll be less than optimistic
if you ply a wicked trade, 
yours or someone else's 
'til the debt to sin is paid. 

Criminals, malingerers, 
and those with crooked hearts 
will wriggle through the sacraments, 
upset the apple carts. 

He'll paint you in the darkest light 
and make you wear a hood, 
play with your insecurities 
and sway you from the Good. 

Don't compromise your spirit
or confront the devil's will, 
remember he is waiting 
for your common sense to spill.

Temptation

The devil is your helpmeet
when you twist your P's and Q's, 
when you dabble in black magic
or recalibrate your Muse.

Transgressions will befall you 
as you ply your wicked trade,
yours or someone else's
'til the debt to sin is paid.

Criminals, malingerers,
and those with crooked hearts
will wriggle through the sacraments,
upset your applecarts.

They'll paint you in the darkest light
and daub your face with blood,
play your insecurities 
and sway you from the Good.

Don't compromise your trembling heart
to acclimate his will, 
remember he is waiting 
for your innocence to spill.

Temptation

The devil is your helpmeet
when you squeeze your P's and Q's, 
when you dabble in black magic
and recalibrate the fuse.

Transgression will befall you 
as you ply your wicked trade,
yours or someone else's
'til the debt to sin is paid.

Criminals, malingerers,
and those with crooked hearts
will wriggle through the sacraments,
upset the applecarts.

They'll paint you in the darkest light
and daub your face with blood,
play your insecurities 
and sway you from the Good.

Don't compromise your trembling heart
to acclimate his will, 
remember he is waiting 
for your innocence to spill.

Temptation

The devil is your helpmeet,
go ignore your P's and Q's, 
as you dabble in black magic
and re-activate the fuse.

Murder will befall you 
as you ply your wicked trade,
yours or someone else's
'til the debt to Sin is paid.

Criminals, malingerers,
and those with crooked hearts
will wriggle through the sacraments,
upset the applecarts.

They'll paint you in the blackest light
and daub your soul with blood,
play your insecurities 
and sway you from the Good.

Don't compromise your fearless heart
to acclimate his will, 
remember he is waiting 
for your innocence to spill.
