Sabertooth Poems


Just Funning


You keep colorfully saying those hateful things to me,
repeatedly all the time
Then you say that you didn’t mean it

You was just funning

Pulling my leg with your teeth
That sabertooth edge
do love biting into my funny bone

Why say those awful racial 
things to me, if you didn’t really mean it?
Are you serious,
now you want me to believe ...

You was just funning?!!!

Having some rich, cruel amusement 
at my poor feelings’ expense
Inflicting tongue pain with a flick,
that sly salt lick

But, I hear the real tick, ticking
of your heart
Dropping word bombs 
meant to hurt more than skin deep

Hoping the lightness of tone
would fool me
But, the funhouse mirror in your heart
showed the truth
of your subtle bigotry — 

That you wasn’t just funning,
you was lung gunning
Hate fired by poisonous syllable
pellet arrows 

You love to shoot away,
until you see the surrendering white 
in the grave, damp eyes

Spittle slow death by verbal disguise

Delorean View


Flip the kill switch,
start the genocidal ignition
Hate is the fuel injected
into the lethal gas shark tank
Cull waters are on a
flux capacitor overflow
Anger accelerates the murderous rage glitch
Hydrogen fusion kaboom ~ Mushroom heat bloom 
tints the side window

DeLorean view
sits temporal pessimistic 
Mass graves asphalt attitude — 
Reverse gear evolution
is a back-to-the-future condition

Prophetic voices from the past
forewarned 
of apocalyptic events to come

Tragedy on the dark side horizon:
Red barons steer the cattle
into the path of the metal beast
Covetous bloodlust sparks the battle,
evil trying to get the stealth treadmark drop on the good

Flip the nuclear kill switch,
start the global homicide acceleration
Strangelove gives a drone missile kiss,
hawks preying on the doves
Terminator technology
be Stone Age moral philosophy
written on a Blu-sabertooth, blank DVD disc

New DeLorean view
sits temporal optimistic
Firmament final destination ... 
the future recedes
in a golden exhaust hue
