love not agape
only the lonely can see
the truth of the farce --
requited love that's only
real with surrendered assets....

I am so sparse, I am so scarce
I am so rare but I am no farce
I am the one and only hence so lonely
I exist on earth in Forty three only...

There is never nothing
Nothing is a farce
In the air, in our minds
Nothing is nowhere
There is always something
Even when we wish for nothing...

To go out today would be a farce
Bitterly cold and sunshine sparse
I wanted to play
But there was no way
I would certainly land on my arse

Outrage and then revenge..Ensure such' and repetitions
Will never end.' A formula humans know.' 
Yet with much drive, and vigour, still scatter and sow..!...

It's almost time for you to vote
Cast your ballot and do not gloat
It's time to put back
Our reproductive rights on track
Trump's MAGA is a farce, take note...

All screams
 become mute,
when the truth thunder
king, booms on
space... At this time,
The false , farce
and the flawed notes,
tremble in their
fears......

An unfortunate fellow Hugh Jarse

He found life an incredible farce,

The name that he bore

Caused such loud guffaws,

You could probably hear them on Mars....

I’m a Citizen and I know it
No one makes a subject out of this poet
A subject a farce
They can shove it up their arse
Better still brace yourself ill make it fit...

Tour de farce.

   So bold
   Too old
   I tried
   To ride
   A bike 
   Just like
   A champ
   Got cramp
   Too rash 
   Big crash.

The world is a play,
Man adlibs improvised lines
Unrehearsed all th’way,
Tragedy, farce? No clear signs,
He plays for applause, but pines.

One For The Road

In the circus I mastered some arts.
Butt the unicycle - sad farce
its seat tightly wedged
when I hit a low hedge
needed help to pull it from me arse.

Lies and the truth
both fade into memory
Time caring not
whether credence or farce

Married together
they drift into silence
Passing forgotten
—through legend and curse

I'm told this poetry gig's a farce



          ("You can't pull money out of your ars!)



So, thanks for giving my poems a lookey ...



          But I'm off to write ... a fortune cookie!...

Dreams don't work
Unless you do
Take the first step
Take action
Turn your dream
Into reality.

Dreams is just farce
If it's only hidden
With realization
Taken into action
Plus with focus
Will come to fruition....

Posters painted
By law tainted
Rosaries rattling
Prayers prattling
Police swoop
Spirits droop
Whisked away
Because they pray
For children unborn
Innocent lives shorn
In abortion clinics
Cold cash for callous cynics...

I think and think
  I need a drink
I think some more
  A drink, please pour

All this thinking
  wears me out
Another drink
  I fairly shout

Once again I think
  But thoughts are sparse
Just one more drink
  ~ I'll end this farce...

Gifted decoration

Bestow innocence, 
And sincerity- 
unto me.
Explode my heart,
once more and again.
Saturate me;
With ache- 
and farce.
Give charm,
on everyone
And also glee;
Reward innocence- 
and sincerity 
unto me....

Makeup never hides the truth
the camera sees it all
Sharply focused through the pain
each mask a futile pall

As clowns embrace the actor’s fears
in painted frozen smiles
The farce goes on in word and song
—a masquerades denial

(Dreamsleep: May, 2023)...

When the veracity is really sparse,
the world affairs are left on the backburner. 
Pitting a status dog against an orange poodle
(the latter dropped his noodle a long time ago)
there is no honour in winning the debate
in this farce we rate a mere pie-in-the-sky.

Die twice exclamation mark.
Torment signaled basilisk
farce. 

Die twice rolled, 
freezing my snake eyes!

What a Soul you have!
And all your body a slit in 
my perception,
a cut to deepen my ignorance
of what little I see of you.

Better I get a taste
than swallow you whole....

Perfection
Comes encased 
In an illusion
Hiding the decays
And the facets
Of imperfection.

Like a mirror
With two faces
The good glitters
And the bad
Lurks and reflects
In dark recesses.

A banal farce
Of human nature
The affectations
Used to bolster
The image
For the greater....

Drying winds, partly cloudy sky
No rain coming, here the earth cracks
Hurricane floods in places why?
Drying winds, partly cloudy sky
Clouds are a farce, only amplify
Needed moisture, which we now lack
Drying winds, partly cloudy sky
No rain coming, here the earth cracks      ...
