An Act Of Generosity
A sincere act of generosity:
No media mileage
No publicity
If your right hand
Would dole out
Something for the needy
Let not your left hand
Know it....

As You Lay Me To Rest
Keep
Away from
Light not what
Letters of words,
Engraved in poetic
Order, I beautifully
Have dole out for your pleasure.
And as I lay down to rest amongst
Artists of the greatest verses of poems
Seasoned with salt, forget not Kalle O Haas...

Premium Member I Dreamt of a Death I Cannot Shake
I held onto your hand…
much too tight, to dole out any comfort, 
for it was out of obligation, my efforts were fed...
In the end, I don't think it made any difference, 
and I had spent so long, dead,
in my own indifference,
I didn't notice, or try to pretend.

Premium Member Tell Me
Should I feel guilty
That I don’t care
About pleasing
Ingrate parasites
That I don’t care
To dole out
Platitudes and
Phoney compliments
That I don’t care 
To don fake smiles
And pretend
Everything’s alright

Premium Member All Hallows Eve In the Year of the Plague
As  Halloween approaches
I wonder if any bold spirits 
will venture out to maintain 
a long forgotten pagan rite 
and if they’ll don a Darth Vader 
mask or wear a more sensible 
and hygienic tight fitting 
mouth and nose covering?

Regardless, there will be a light 
in my crudely carved pumpkin 
and  I’ll wear my mask and 
gloves to dole out sweet 
nothings to any intrepid 
souls who venture 
to my door....

Politico's Grin
.

When you grin good
in the glare of publicity,

     no hint of your dark disdain 
     the masses should see

as there you dole out mere 
morsels to mere mortals,

     wangling their votes, you've 
     got no scrupples for morals.

     
But your thinly varnished
ill-repute does attest

      to the myth of the truth 
      of your loud oaths at best.

Yet, you flaunt your self-serving 
      generosity

      as you grin good
      in the glare of publicity!
