Viva la Revolution
Since it already exists
Why does Mr. Macron resist
Simply recognize France’s Palestinian revolution
Forget the ‘two-state Middle East solution’

Behind her eyes
Scratches all over my body,
Pouring into the glass of wine that spilled over my wound,
Counting on my fingers, the night terrors,
Scrambling to find the door where my heart belongs.

Oh, WiCkEd Queen, lyricsWhat's up miss popular? People know about your greed
Ya, got the text. The "Hey, dotard, don't talk to me freak,"
The average joe, and those silly electronics"
Please, Click Itch, labeling others as the smelly geek
So many countless hours cushioning in luxury
Preparing to feed your lust, her dinner platter ...

Lullaby of 2125Once there lived a wizard who practiced thumbcraft,
who conjured with swipes and spells from his draft.
He began just at two with a clever old trick,
skipping ads on YouTube with a finger click.
By five he could summon a friend with a ping,
And charm them to stay with a joke or a zing.
At ten, he was crowned...

The World is BleedingIt's said, "The world will bleed away."
It bleeds and bleeds—one pint a day.
A blood as bland as monochrome,
as voices in an echo-dome.
The drooling masses lap it up.
And lick the anchor's shiny cup.
With honeyed words that tickle ears.
Or doomsday chants, neurotic fears.
One pint a spew of ink on page;
the next a clip to...

Make America Grate AgainDon’t care whom it ravages:
this land was always Thine.
Circle wagons, shoot all savages,
and things are (once more) fine.
The Swaggarts, Bakkers and Miscaviges
will soon be judenrein.
For far too long we’ve been contrite.
The best of cleaners scours.
We’re gonna give them fight or flight
(for far too long, they’ve gotten flowers).
There’s nothing wrong with being white:
or claiming what is...

The 'Not-in-My-Namers'
They shout ‘Not in my name’
as if for Israel’s self-defense
they were to blame
They scream ‘Globalize the Intifada’
as if their voices ever mattered
They chant ‘Palestine will be ‘free’
from the River...

Tabled, As AlwaysThey all took their seats round the table,
It had no head, but all knew where Power sat.
Summoned in haste by Ideology itself,
for the matter was pressing and oddly stressing.
Capitalism sat back—legs crossed, arm draped,
already reclined like comfort was inherited.
Feminism adjusted her seat,
raised it two inches—just enough to be noticed.
Consumerism fumbled with six filled bags,
Communism leaned...

Not ResponsibleThe power depends on the people’s will
They were taught to believe this at high school
But as practice has shown, powers like to kill
And the people are forced to obey under rule
So the contract between the people and power
Looks a bit stretched cause it was preset
Do I need a law how to water my flower?...

When Musing Becomes MusicIn whispers of lyric and rhythm, we find,
Resonate echoes, the heart intertwined.
To contemplate in shadows, where thoughts softly steer,
Soul steering moments, where dreams draw near.
Dance in the twilight, let melodies flow,
Listen intently, let the beat gently show.
Hear the instruments weave their stories untold,...

Donnie T!Look at me I’m Donnie T!
Unbound by reality
Out of my head
But my hat is bright red
It’s me!
I’m Donnie T…ee…ee
I have a great slogan
I’m pals with Joe Rogan
(Great guy. Very short.)
It’s me!
I’m Donnie T!
A real stable genius
I have a yuge
(don’t judge my hands)
(they’re quite large for a man)
Say’s me
I’m Donnie T…ee…ee
Work for me you’ll...

Knox Newsthey had heard the owl was wise
his intelligence was mediocre at best
his ideas were not even his own
He got them from Knox News
If Knox recommended meal worms
Owl ate meal worms
If Knox said the sky was red
Owl thought the sky was red
a fowl ruled by suggestions and subliminal clips
Owl was wise in no way
Yet many flocked...
