In the End

Blue Collar—White Collar,
choking the same

Their difference endemic,
as time casts its blame

Oh such fun with doting parent’s gift wrapped present
Yes that shared joy endemic to cherished December day

Disappointment

disappointment

Loss of innocence
Corruption is commonplace
Endemic racism
A judicial system 
That favours the rich
Lies are the new truth
How could it come to this?
Once I loved the USA

Eternity Burns

Apocalypse kindles    
relighting the fire
Malignant denominators
melt from above
Savior disdained 
pontificate’s stain 
Tomorrow endemic
— in nuclear love

Slip Sliding Away

What can’t be forgiven
must be forgotten
Memory the catalyst
for sorrow and pain

The future endemic
its danger befalls us
Salvation escaping
—reluctant to change

Full Stop

The most lucid among us
admonish the period
A comma best chosen
inserted in time

Stopping for emphasis
the folly endemic
As thoughts need to flow
—forever sublime

Looks To Deceive

A teardrop of joy
a teardrop of sorrow
Different in substance
different in kind
Flowing endemic
the scientist’s baffled
Their chemical compounds
— distinct and profound

(Rosemont College: June, 2024)

Premium Member Cheap

Costs shy of public tags
Habits quite rampant and endemic
Endearing expenses and accounts, and
A little higher than rejected items, also
Personalities void of virtues and honour.

Bridging Tomorrow

Like waking and
breakfast
it’s poetry first

The day is so
ordered
quenching my thirst

Each word like a
greeting
the day on parade

Each feeling
endemic
— another one saved

Set In Stone

Change what you did,
and I’ll change how I feel
You can’t change forever
denying what’s real
The fly’s in the ointment,
the die has been cast
This moment endemic
—predestined to last

Gone And Forgotten

Owning
the memories
of the years
without me

I wonder
if your thoughts
ever drift
toward mine

Your distance
endemic
a broken
connection

Remembering
moments
 our hearts 
— intertwined

ASSisted Living

Elder abuse endemic
free to roam the land
Preying on the weakest souls
willing by command

Targeting new victims
infirm and oft alone
Fangs sink deep while senior’s sleep
— tearing flesh from bone

(Dreamsleep: December, 2025)

Lagos

Violence in a lorry’s heart
The cruelty of a swoop-hawk
Afflicting along a highway
Of a rural-urban stray;

And drivers in endemic pipes
Of high-life tunes of our folks
The angry touts shout and curse
Passengers in and out of trucks!

Complex and Convex

Complex and Convex

His brain became concave and convex
And enough many people to perplex
What erupted had been endemic
Also it turned out to be systemic
Problems possessed became complex.

Does this sound either familiar or dissimilar?

Blessed Grace

To no avail, he caught my eye-clenching on the branch of the endemic prey.
Watching the sound of a colorful array,
to be in sight of the shimmering tales of no surprises.
Held by its clenching teeth in suffering agony.
Of his mercy defeated by one leg.

He

...commands a trance,
pulls you into the dance,

he'll sing for the enhances-
playmore fanatics!

He's the sutures and calamity's Casper,

and endemic more than even plasma...

I have the needs,

he the commander,

I have to feed...

Do more than land her.

Why

I never greet discovery
with all the joy
that it deserves,
for standing in  the way is fear
that I will violate
its pure integrity.

I may thus become aware 
of danger
that my own protective shell
grows thinner still
when others look at me,
and I still fear to see
my own endemic sores
contaminate the world.
           ~

Everything Seen, and Unmade

Let's just emote the dine!

Far to the North, we increase the enshrine, 
send our tails to the features-

Whale away with convenience,

And all the while-

No one clocks the mile~  

Our time was the picture,
every slogan here today pleases teachers...

Endemic, like what we wanted supplanted eases creature...

Dilemma Minichu


kill thrill, rage unfolded?
a youth's pebbles become hollow bullets inflight
killer molded 
            
sunken, aloof
might never makes right, but blight
lone wolf   

hate ills
endemic plight 
kills!
   
kill thrill, rage unfolded?
might never makes right but blight
kills!

Occam's Retort

Competing infinities,
which one to choose

Existential polarities,
exchanging their views

Superpositioned,
anthropic in scope

The tradeoff endemic,
whose difference elopes

Twin parallel universes
push and then pull

Existing in quantum,
the vacuum is full

Symbiotic in concept,
his razor now sharp

As we search for their meaning
—ever lost in the dark

Xiv: Forced Excursion Again

Sir –
Late in the noon as usual
Came the vergers with the sharp bells
(Prof, a roused lad saw not the Vicar)
Announcing another blessed excursion;

Of course, Sir –
The endemic hubbub
Reigned in the nest
To be vacated in a hurry;

And the piecing bells
Hinted of the swords in the rafter
Plunged in full poise by pig-watcher
(Prof, a roused lad saw the inscription)
‘Flee, meet the siren at midnight else!’

Premium Member Australian King Parrot

Scarlet green exotic plume bird
on occasions, endemic to the wooded 
eucalyptus plot in torrid upper reach
red winged flyer, blue stripe and grey beak
species found in outer suburb niche, 
northern Sydney beach, or steep-faced
deep ravine in parts of  Queensland.
They can be such a charming pet when raised 
in aviaries, devoted, saying very little but 
of warm and fair attachment all the same

Freedom For All

hands tied to trade overseas
the sands, in time, taking their toll
cracking cuticles of overreachers
while nations shake in anger

an explosive declaration
missiles making patriotism fly
white elephants lead the stampede to war
their endemic tactics failing the front

a fox-faced woman's ruse
railroading objection to crude comments
drilling deep in the peoples' psyche

bootstraps their sole possession
a road to hope paved long ago
war

Premium Member Joy Chorused

Bite that pseudo-thumb at the world, 
sit a moment in solitary confinement;
Your ideology is so blissfully bent
it favors crooked instead of curled;

No need for sour vocalizations 
culled lineage was reserved for us;
There is nothing left to discuss,
we’ve no time for empty declarations;

Endemic of a fantastical China forest,
“Black and white treasures so rare,
sweet bamboo loving panda bear…”
I wish action matched that joy chorused.
