Paul Edicts
A soldier of the Viet Cong
Decided to visit Hong Kong
He wanted to see
Xi strangle the free
Because compromise is SO wrong!...

Stampede
When confronted with
edicts of expendability,
the sanest of minds
condemn usury as a practice
defecating on
the nobler edicts of survival
until all herded
charge the very gates of compliance....

As before, came dominant edicts, fracturing great hopes into just kindred like memories,
No one possessed quiet recollection simply to usurp verbally, whenever Xenophobes yielded
zealousness....

Mandates
Mandates
Haiku: by Tom

Mandates are edicts
meant to pilfer our freedoms;
cleverly thought out.
What is the essence of America?
Finding and maintaining that perfect,
delicate balance between freedom “to” and freedom “from.”

Edicts
The high priests have spoken
we were thrilled
when they said we could sleep
through.
They knew we were tired,
that we were natural-born agitators
given to independent incivility.
It was good to relax,
to completely numb the heart-sickness;
and so to bed
with the rest of the grateful dead....

I Believe My Neighbors Hate Me
I believe my neighbors hate me
And they're training their dogs to do same
As they pull on their leash
Zig zag through the street
In the serpentine dance of the mask
No music is needed as edicts are heeded
And fear counts the beat in their heads
It's a masquerade ball for long short or tall
Carriaged babies denied passing eyes
Hug their dogs and ask what's going on

Copla Treinta Y Nueve This Bad Guy World
COPLA TREINTA Y NUEVE: This Bad Guy World
In cauldrons of faith gods fester
Legions of bigots follow blind:
Some sane more mad
In between shades of good better
And the best taint all of a kind:
Motley mass mud
Between the gods and the mad mass
Lodge those bound by rituals rites:
Usurp gods’ edicts
Priests who love to massage the mass
Arrogating heavenly rights:
God’s politics

Forbidding
Standing knee deep in water
invoking the sun god
going upward phenomenally.
I was learning to forget
the edicts of a fake lord.
Would not recognize-
the dirty tricks of a godman
in the garb of a hermaphrodite.
One day he was ...
One day he was not. The wild
czar was pounding his chest.
A snow-capped moon was-
going down unseen in the
blue lake of words. There
was three dimensional appearance
but no deliverance for
the poor speech in distress.
