Short Bombardment Poems

verbal bombardment 
words thrown 
like stones
hitting the 
heart like 
a bullets
striking the soul
leaving behind 
an emotional 
hole...

Rolling the punches
Using my hunches
Duck and dive
Trying to survive
Bombardment of blows
Bloodies my nose
Waiting for the bell
10 seconds from hell
Hit the mat
No more combat
There goes the bell
Saved from hell...

Tired
Of political correctness
Cultural awareness
Sensitivity.
Tired of everything
Being an excuse
A syndrome
A disability.
Tired of a society that's
Thin-skinned
Entitled
Oblivious.
The constant bombardment
Leads to indifference
At best.
Tired....

overwhelmed
    by new
      impressions
a flood
     of chaos
unbearable
bombardment
     of the
             soul
paralysed
by doubt
   anxiety
   to the fore
delicate
sensitive
      emotion
      in
         the
             raw...

Big and bold, bombarded with color,
there is an explosion like no other,
bright and frisky,
dull and deluded,
grey and murky not included.

Reds and pinks,
purples and blues,
go great in blocks of twos or threes,
I must fall to my knees,
to try escape the smoke and breeze....

Americans lifted their picket
When Cuba proved they can't lick it
The bureaucrats came
And went back home lame
The Yanks just can't tolerate cricket!*

*Research concluded American diplomats
were assaulted by Cuban crickets rather than a sonic
bombardment. ...

gentle  winds vaulting 
nature's  animals  charging 
climate control cell

void earths bombardment 
catastrophe plights denied 
raging storms collides

nuclear fires 
host brilliant amber's tokens 
earth ends in fire

Thanks to wondrous technology
   We are all connected as never before
No corner of the world so isolated
   That it can be safely ignored

Yet the constant bombardment 
   Of annoying, trivial information
Leaves us disconnected from ourselves
   Kings and Queens of Self-Separation...

bombardment 
strikes 
self-esteem
down lowing it
to the floor 
trying to resist 
all to familiar 
urge to sink 
into a hole
trying to not
allow the
gray clouds 
torrential
downpour to 
fill the 
hole with 
water
trying to stop
myself from 
drowning within 
a sea of doubt...

Mockery law spoofed boycott,
Survived the beast of a desert tooth.
Hunger answered by inedible dinner goth.
Skin and bones as the cloth.
 
Under sieged bloodthirsty pavement,
There are no rules, full bombardment.
Struggle means risking the beguilement.
Why be a slave when life is enfranchisement....

It’s like the Battle of Britain he moans
I can’t survive this bombardment he groans
And then he said Sh*t
That’s a direct hit
What kind of numpty films fireworks with drones



5 November is Guy Fawkes day in the UK in celebration of 
Mr Fawkes and associates trying to blow up the Houses 
of Parliament. Some would say he should have succeeded....

within this shell
I voyage alone
to finally experience
thought with clarity.

Such soliloquies
fill me with vigor
secure in knowing
I belong apart.

Blessed silence
radiates like a promise
assuring somber peace
outside all spheres

in lone orbit
beholden to nil
without agendas
tipping my pitch.

Your bombardment
of murky disdain
shall hinder me
nevermore....

Walking hand in hand
In the TV Land
midnight comedy
maybe later
we should be blessed
with a never ending advertisement
directed at
consumers like you..
An apparatus of sitcoms
til early next morning
Marathon mayhem
Advertisement addiction
Brainwashing bombardment
   listen
     watch
   listen
     watch
   buy
  buy
 buy
consume
*power*
    d r e a m . . .
freedom....

Heroes in Ukraine
    No heat, no power
  endure aerial bombardment
    More brutal by the day

  Hundreds of Russian conscripts
    thrown into battle every day
  Unprepared, they die like flies
    As if Vladimir Putin cares

  While informed Americans stuff down turkey
    watching sacred football games
  Taking stock of their carbon emissions
    So Donald Trump they can blame...

Will you leave this life
Without a murmur or a whimper
Be cast down to the depths below
In a hallowed tomb of timber

You did not exit stage left
To the sound of thunderous applause
Or the scream of heavy bombardment
Or some tearing tiger claws

To all the men who slipped away, unnoticed
Here is ye're epitaph
We looked at the world with unblinking eyes
And all we could do was laugh...

silver swords strike
red mountain
exposing the night

flash bang x-rays
bombarding my soul
rattling windows

tin roof deluge 
staccato 
gushing down my heart
cleansing the gutters

spring shower
desert gold 
invigorating my spirit
renewing cactus flowers

fragrant fresh morning
tender breath from above
gentle sun warming 


red blossom dripping
sweet nectar of heavenly love 
wee hummer sipping...

Confused by DVD interactivity,
Lost in soulless Internet chat-rooms,
Spied on by precision satellites,
Tracked down by mobile phone texters,
Hit by multi-media bombardment,
Tied up with twisted video tape,
Engulfed by ephemeral nothingness,
Brain awash with binary,
Consumed by CD ROM gigabytes.

Call me stuck in the past,
Say I’m not cool, but cold,
Because my ideal is a good book ...
To have and to hold....

Dead thoughts
Rotting flesh
Create living cages
creatures paraded on stages
Go to church, pay bills, working; a living fraud
Self-awareness begets Self-deceit a reflection
A mirror unfairness - mirror of defeat
The human condition kills
Historical shame
Worn out name
Myself.
To Maraud.
Go head for the hills
plethora of opponents
endless bombardment infinite myriad
Propaganda - now buying the bullshit leaders sell
Just another component in the universal machine called god...
