Dystopian paradise
is all life seems to be nowadays.
days pass, seasons change
boats sail to sea, a sunlight dripping
softly, caressing lapping waves.
a melody of the unacknowledged....

It is warmer

In Paris 
They talk about
The weather
Eat frugally 
Hamburgers made of 
Indian cows
Turnips from Sweden 
Potatoes
From Holland 
Gobbledegook
And sign on
The dotted line....

Standing at the brink of our new world
I gaze into the majestic landscape.
I see a novel synthetic fraternity
Shining lights of discovery – 
Teetering on the edge
Of a blazing dystopian inferno....

Unity is illusionary,
A dystopia of thoughts and dreams
What is life but a fleeting thing in the grand scheme of things?
Freedom so precious and heavily bought 
cannot compare to one loving thought....

dystopian world
where Mal and Jane do battle,
speak mandarin, flee
once caught on a summer night
Serenity glows no more

The brainwashed masses,
Wearing rose-colored glasses,
And nonchalantly flashing passes,
Never realizing the hourglasses
Are running out of time.

Miasmic shadows
And dystopian blows
Are working to transpose
The masses' crystal rose
Into a thick unending slime....

Astound me with visual auroras
swathes of rainbows in chorus
that leap across lofty skies
strange intriguing patterns that rise
iridescent visions of midnight forests.

Mind bending colors turn sinister 
haunting hues no longer minister
I awaken from dystopian dreams
seeking solace from simple means
I bask inside sunlight’s perimeter.

this death will be the life of me
patches in the sky
we used to call them clouds
before the bombs went off
and canopied us in a toxic shell; 
the artist swapped his brush
for a brick
and threw it in tantrum
from a distance 
at some cheesy idyllic canvas
and despite our decaying teeth falling out
with clumps of hair and skin
you slipped out of your negligee
a little too easy tonight...

ten words random rhymes

every day I see our president
Trump proclaims that he will be president 
his image haunts my dreams
dystopian nightmares propels my dreams 
as the president proclaims he is president 
the end of republic follows 
no one hears our screams
He ushers in endless dreams 
fascism inspires 
our collective screams

Paradox humanity widespread insanity
Violent diet; plus viewpoints inviolate
1970s t v box, equals the earliest intox'
2000s loaded inbox reality in kris-cross
Innundated info, nightmares of unknown
Control as destiny? In monster intensity'
Dystopian intellect; humans at disconnect
Poisoned minds, engineer own immunity.
Shall we allow such evil? With impunity.'
If i fear?? I fear God alone; and dis-unity.'

president trump haunts my Dream

president Trump 
haunts my dreams
daily dystopian nightmares
as he daily proclaims
the end to the republic

as he ushers in fascism
with his every lie
he corrupts the world
and I hate 
seeing his bloated fat ugly body

that haunts my every dream
as I watch him  rant and rage
against my old friends,
 his enemies in the deep state
ushering in chaos and destruction
