Legacy accompanied with inadequacy DESPAIR RING

Legacy accompanied with inadequacy DESPAIR RING
uninvited GUESTS linkedin as the themes of mein kampf.

Despite countless factorial permutations
& combinations, this cyber surfer
avails left and right alm
seeking succor Out Of Human Bondage
invisibles shackles bind head,
shoulders, knees and toes
mom mee whiz sic cured courtesy grim reaper,
boot metastatic cervical/ovarian 
carcinoma snatched such balm
when tethered in utero umbilical connection,
etched bromide, which hankering calm
embryonic sensation this corporeal being lacks

constantly subjected to exams
from the brutal school of hard knocks,
which I bewail sets back and glom
mine aim to revel in blissful contentment
but circumstances decrees otherwise
cursing this chap tubby haunted
by veritable elfin grotto dwelling phantoms
hovering over sweet clover - dials a mirage
yes...iris sieve blurbs from gals and guys numb
burred in the billions,
that span the World Wide Web, and exude

premature ejaculatory ecstasy, puzzled if fie
totally tubular trod a tedious trek
along the boulevard of broken dreams,
what happenstance oft finds thyself to flail
amidst difficulty to maximize
optimal opportunities searching for Holy Grail
or whatever constitutes such lofty
personal objective, perchance being hale
and hearty of body, mind and spirit
spurs the furies of fate tut test this primate

while he aims to gallop with mighty industrial
vim and vigor leaving a virtual soundcloud
of dust, though mindfulness helps
to pass go, and chance avoid jail
time, then maybe monopolized feedback offered
to this toothless married quasi herbivore
enjoying poetry stone soup, yet also subsisting
on supplementary vitamin packed glue tin free
NON GMO fruity tall tales for a male
thirty six years shy sans Bing a centenarian,

which span of life best cut short with a nail
(possibly nine inches) hammered into
faux coffin, cuz this imp doth turn pale
at the prospect to fill up a space of land
best utilized by birds - such as quail
Mongoose, or ibis (though aye ne'er saw
one), where cremated ashes sail
across some verdant plain under
cerulean skies putting to rest every travail,
which thoughts of dem eyes spells

relief since potential homelessness,
pennilessness, and wretchedness,
the main impetus explaining 
this rambling, shambling, and troubling spiel
the warp and woof ova gauzy veil
imperceptibly looms closer upon
turrets of my digital sea faring gunwale
and thus desperation finds
pleading for monetary 
and  spiritual salvation.

Before mine danse 
macabre doppelganger draws dagger
punctures the skein tight 
as a yank key notched belt
housed within mine impenetrable 
hermetically sealed invisible bubble
drapes with blackened Hades 
hued habiliment therein dwelt
sinister saboteur mastermind 
marauder of the Hubble

tattooing and piercing fiery 
oculus rift presence unseen but felt 
demands sacrifice to traverse 
river Styx with unadulterated gelt,
which known phantasmagorical double
diabolical self amidst aftermath 
from Armageddon rubble
astride charred global 
ruins entire civilization melt
planetary paroxysm prognosticated 

by Maya sages with 11th hour stubble
birthed Darth Vader nemesis 
with evil upon earth he did pelt
annihilating, decimating, and hashtagging mankind, 
the derelict species that fueled trouble
hence evil twin appointed 
apocalyptic malevolence spelt
desiccation, humiliation, and laceration 
upon once verdant veldt
with mass crematorium 
desecration left horrific blistering welt.

Countdown to Homo sapiens extinction 
predicted millenniums in past
never occurred as predicted on December 21 
two thousand and twelve after common era,
whereby catastrophic spark 
detonating inferno incinerating blast
eradicating extant flora 
and fauna bereft sans hegira
with no means to interrupt 
the die since the dawn of civilization cast.

Impossible mission to escape ominous 
predetermined fate of human rat race,
nor turn back hands of time 
with origin of species on clock face
thus ticking closer to hour of doomsday 
without faith to brace
allowing, enabling and providing Gaia 
to redeem terrestrial space
vestiges of teeming billions 
soon erased criminal minds without a trace
forcefully relinquishing simians 
planetary stranglehold amazing grace
proffering tabula rasa 
for another dominant species 
to claim the place.

Sirens promulgate emergency 
toward impending inescapable cataclysm
yet no place to run or hide lest 
one boards a rocket light-years away
which makes suspense thrillers 
birthed by countless dystopian authors
enviable plot to keep 
total Earth's destruction at bay.

Matthew Scott Harris, 
a lifetime America Online
Meme bur hastens to convey dire
crisis sparking to offer electric nom de plume
duyeer93, a papa who did sire
deux darling daughters, 
yet for ages hive stung
with hurt early, whence fatherhood did fire
meow n childhood's end fostering people
strangers even fork 
getting this communication,

per S0S sprinkled with auk shucks corny,
Egret - letting opportunities take flight aspire
now pleasures soft as gossamer feather bedding
down play hardened angst 
riddled psyche, where ire
Ronny gully stubbornly thrives 
amidst adversity as father time spins gyre
row scope at greased lightning speed,
intimating with dead reckoning to hire
grim reaper, who whiz patient

as Job, and exemplary at ridding mire
and muck bogs down this dada robbing
existence with joie de vivre, where funeral pyre
doth flickr-beckoning GoDaddy, cuz
Juno I haint gonna hear angelic choir
or equivalent enlightenment re:
home sweet home, this atheist doggedly tire
so haim trying keep sea legs
one step ahead of tipping point
envision self pitched into abyss - 
thus end of poetic wire.
