Short Amputate Poems

There was a butcher from Elmsgate
Who drank every day to celebrate.
One tipsy day at the chopping block
He swung  his cleaver ad hoc.
Now he knows just how to amputate....

One mans carcinogenic idea
Invade Ukraine amputate Crimea
But the tumour keeps growing 
Now his sick cancer’s showing 
A malignancy called North Korea!

(Tree speaks to thief)

They chopped off my upper limbs, to shed more light on the lower 

As they will amputate those hands, now your light fingers grow slower

Snap my lonely stem and
Amputate my denied attachments and
Discover the life that drains
From an open wound.
Oozing to the earth it will 
Whet the desires of worms,
Each wondering why tears
Taste so much like pulp
From a pale and oddly shaped
Pumpkin....

    Bang! You’re dead
       I killed you
         Next game 

    Rat-a-tat-tat 
       Deep wound
         Amputate        

    Lunch-time 
       PB&J’s and milk
         Twinkies

     I’m tired of playing
       What should we do 
          all afternoon

when I see you 
love grows stronger
dragging it out
a little longer
hate the way
this makes me feel
a heart that churns
for what's not real

just walk away
boxing up dreams
of yesterday
going to amputate
to sever the pain
there's nothing here
for me to gain...

Do not hate
I can't relate
Its not too late
To make it great
Don't hesitate
Open the gate
To your hearts fate
And legislate
A plan-- cant wait
Let's get it straight
We need to cooperate
By choosing to separate
The bad as we amputate
Hatred that can irritate
Love we need to renovate
This world let's not complicate
How we can obliterate
Meanness and participate
Togetherness and terminate
Evil as we recreate
More love that will never fade...

There is an evil lurking inside us all
She has escaped and is tearing us apart
Planting bad karma in the wind,
Straining us into drainable pieces.

She came in the form of a virus
Says around feeding on our greed frenzy
Helping us to isolate further and further from our humane side
Separating us from our family and friends

She is fear
We need to amputate her
Annihilate her
Eliminate her
Show her she is not boss
Pray as if your lives depend on it
For they do...
