Short Dolts Poems

dot to dot, the game dolts play,
ignoring the big picture.
it’s obvious.
blind man’s bluff.
the screen revelation,
at the late hour —
THE dragon

Michael Latido has quite a history.
He is considered a medical mystery.
The razor blades, nuts and bolts.
Eaten by him and other dolts.
Are nothing, compared to namely,
His eating a grocer cart, bicycle 
and claim to fame, doing away inanely...
With a complete Cessna airplane

before barristers
bone-busting brouhahas broached
barbaric bedlam

comely charwomen
cringed contemplating cruel
commonplace cudgelings 

dank dungeons deterred
disorderly drunken dolts
dissuading dissent

No longer a teacher 
a programmer ... 
your gift to persuade
is gone

Referring to students
as charges and dolts
your power to control
is strong

To dictate
humanity
you must give up your own
controlled to then control

Blind to the moment
deaf to the past
defaming your nature
 — killing your soul

It is really much better you see
If you don't touch this red wire at all
You will light up like a Christmas tree
And smoke like a leaf pile in the Fall
We are moving some really big volts
That will kill you as dead as a stone
We know that the world is full of dolts
Please, please, please...leave that red wire alone

Their mangled and broken bodies
return home in flag draped caskets.
Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori
while a band plays patriotic
hymns for their services rendered
and a choir to give them a voice.
If I may be so bold to say
that I see no sweetness in death
nor the acclaimed gloriousness
that lyrical poets have penned.
what I see is sugarcoated
rationale for warmongering
dolts. I see no glory in that.
Mortem est pretium bellum....
