Short Aggravations Poems

arthritis returns
plaguing my extremities
time for aspirin
chemistry for sleepless nights
and painful aggravations

Two Empire State Buildings fly by Earth
Phobos will crash into Earth on Mars Day
Careless Martians created our universe in Pluto's lab
Pluto walks a tightrope over underestimated solar flares...

Can I call you mine?
I guess not.
It took me some time
To realize this fact.

Smiles reassure second chances
But never will it
Blossom and bloom.

Lady, I am weary.
Induce me a deep sleep
And allocate my fears.

Though I call you mine;
Your heart,
With aggravations,
Will never be....

love exuberantly
because this may be the last hug.
laugh loudly and wildly
because life is cruel, absurd and above all, poignant.
embrace your passions madly
because life's brevity mocks half-measures.
let go
little things are unnecessary aggravations.
love and live at full throttle-
who knows when the Maker may call?...

Darkness  fancying
Unquiet 
In deseribable
Anquish 
Stub my toe
Vanquish 
Lost my way, nowhere to go
Never forgetting 
Unulterable accomplishments 
I hold my breath
Nothing  left
Intolerable ere
Aggravations Witness 
Unquiet 
Vanquished
Allotted guess I'm
Anquish...

Cursed

I am plagued by things of the now: daily
physical aggravations for which

I 
suppose
I can say
the memory
of a physician
having injected me
four times with a substance that
gives some people dire side effects
haunts me to this day. Cursed is this world
by doctors who are meant to do no harm....

Infuriated by greed
so we Occupy city streets
tired of being lied to 
divided by tyranny 
of the Elites
sickened by offshore banks 
ran by gangs 
known as the Fed
while political infidelity 
shakes the White House bed

What happened to the basic foundations 
for which this nation was built?
maybe the people’s aggravations 
will identify our leaders’ guilt

No justice lies within this 
“heads they win; tails we lose”
so now we take a stand 
against their scam
because we’re through with the abuse...
