It Is a Nickname

What is mistaken so is
dire self-aggrandizement
by ambitious fellows
re-baptized by citizens
hijacked by opportunists
as true love for a nation
It is a nickname, a vanity

I coulda written that song, Purple Rain

I coulda written that song, “Purple Rain.”
It didn’t take that big of a brain.
And I coulda written that song “Hotel California.”
But girl - I do wanna warn ya!
I’ve always been considered at least halfway insane.

Decisions

We are on a precipice of War
Yet you spurn the most skilled Knight
Just to stoke your selfish Desire?
You choose pettiness over the Realm

The tempest is Imminent 
Yet you let the chief captain disembark 
Just to assert your dominance against mutiny?
 You choose self-aggrandizement over Lives.

Oh Master!

Wishes

Nothing was beholden.
Colony counts were perfect.
You were never guaranteed and exit.

I am stalked by lips 
of a black tulip holding
a moonbeam.

The world moves
wearing a shell of emptiness
in a cosmos, inviolable.

Aggrandizement
beyond the bluffing.
More beliefs and many withdrawls.

You will not kill me ?
Half-way to soothing words
of ecstasy.

Smoke and Mirrors


lies and 		obfuscation
revenge politics 
           game of the day

extremists
       s  p  l  i  t 
hold hostage the government

power   money   
	self-aggrandizement
                                    rule

oaths of honor, loyalty
       strewn by the wayside

Congress in disarray
	called to a halt
					impasse

God help
	the American public

The Reign Must Fall

The tyrants psyche is broken.
He sits in his gilded palace
Surrounded by his trusty band
Of armed thuggish cutthroats, waiting
For the inevitable end.
Outside the palace walls a crowd
Of angry, loathing citizens
Whose long suppressed voices bellow
An immediate regime change;
But like most tyrants of the past
Ego and self-aggrandizement
Deludes clear, rational thinking;
As a result, grasping at straws
Hoping for the impossible.
