You're not objective
Being more selective
Would be more effective...

My lips are stained with wine

I painted today

I found a defective product 

It was in my own mirror

using a 
dysfunctional 
malfunctioning
defective 
approach
at compromise 
is like trying to
fit a misshapen
puzzle piece into 
the wrong place 
within the bigger 
picture...

Careful Ling Phong Dam from old Siam
Used the latest latex diaphragm
It was ineffective,
Most likely defective
For the son of Ling Phong Dam, I am.

Methinks my happy light must be defective
Gave it a good shot but it sure don't seem effective
Same moody old cuss
Hide ye ole blunderbuss
Could do himself harm though I'm no detective...

The contest prize is defective, you see
I won’t allow you to pay them with me
If I get a good place
I might give you some grace
But next time the prize 'Glory' isn't free !

Do you know what burns my ass, my friends
A three foot high flame, setting fire to my Depends
Thought they were fire resistant
Guess mine were a defective shipment
Panic set in as the flames did ascend...

PERSPECTIVE
I am fighting the battle of losing perspective
Nothing is objective, nothing is subjective
This is the last opportunity of defective
Are you going to tell me the sense of obssesive

Rejected defective
Socially unaccepted what saved me from this hell my death did
Bruised and busted  none can be trusted what put me here my love did tarnished and jaded all memory of me faded this unknown place that I lie is not with the  angels in the sky...

Dimmissed, defective, unimportant,
Discounted, unworthy,
Unnoticed, undervalued,
Guilt-ridden, under-employed,
Underpaid, misunderstanding,
Unempathetic, overwhelmed,
Under duress, under siege,
Over-whelmed,
Over-dose, undertaker, underground

where'd I get this mirror?
so surely poorly made
distorted images look back
of an image about to fade
into the obscurity of old age

that ain't me, as well I know it
the mirror's attempt to obfuscate
and put that other person there
one who's looks I surely hate...

When she told him he had b.o.
He put on the ‘insulted show’
“You say I smell?
Well I can’t tell
You must have a defective nose!” 

No, everywhere he goes he reeks
Oblivious to his toxic leak
She dreads his visits
His stench inhibits
Her smelling her roses all week!

Heart
On that day my soul grew ventricular
Heart
And the feelings never pulsing
Just a blood start
The aloneness seemed happy repulsing
A defective Heart
Pumping clear blood turns to red
Hearts
Not longing beating I’m dead

The pain rots me inside, like cracks in the pavement.
Home movies bring rusty old memories into focus.
As if she would become a new and improved model.
All the upgrades aren’t necessary, I loved her before.
The way god made her. Exactly. I loved her the same.
These looks that give chills, send them back, defective....

What is my job? the snowflake asked
You fall into a pile
Then what?
That is it

Do I sing as I fall? The snowflake asked hopefully.
No.
Do I do the watusi? Does someone film me?
No

Do I scream all the way down?
God put out his warm hand.
The snowflake melted instantly.
Another defective one, he told the angels....

Anyone who’s studied
human history
from a perspective 
of age and longevity
should not be worried
if his view is defective.
Even king Solomon knew 
there was nothing new
under the sun.
That from day one
the bored old sun
has seen no change
in the sordid range
of human behavior,
except the constancy
of its unchanging behavior....

The feathers aid any bird’s flight.
The owl at night.
The hawk in day.
They fly away.

With feathers, they can reach great heights
in awesome flights.
Up in the air
without much care.

What good would be a naked bird?
Something absurd.
Defective genes
may cause these scenes.

If I were a dot,
I’d end Misery at one shot,
As Mirth would tie the knot.
If I were a dot,
I’d remove the human’s defective clot,
Bringing back the love they forgot.
If I were a dot,
I’d witness the beginning of a lot,
Of the virtues that we have got.
If were a dot, 
A dot, 
A dot…
Let the greedy race rot!

The plumber came to fix a leak
That he repaired the other week.
"Defective part," is what he said,
Though I think "Shoddy work" instead.

This second visit had no charge.
(The first one had a fee quite large.)
We'll see if this time there's no drip
Requiring a triple trip.

Perhaps I'm simply rather dumb
But if a plumber cannot plumb,
He should admit he's not the type
And blame himself and not the pipe!...

I Didn’t Hear You Say That

By Elton Camp

“But I told you to bring home some bread.
You never seem to listen to anything I said.”
Most husbands have heard such as that before
And are likely to hear yet many times more

It isn’t exactly that our hearing is defective,
Rather, because our listening can be selective
So any husband who the favor of his wife seeks
Would be well advised to listen when she speaks...

The apple....is what appeals,
desire to possess,undressing zeal
intoxicating is the power,in which you feel.....

Unappealing,is it's corruptive force
burning fires which entice divorce,but,
divorce from a higher source,our higher course,
distractive attractions which create the porous.....

Containers made defective,never able to hold the light,
the lustful desires,are what's presented,and which we must fight........
