Short Holocausts Poems

Clubbing seal cubs
portends a rage for mass murder.

The tail wags the dog
and the offended march away
to slaughter strangers.

Generation after generation,
year after year,
small holocausts
erupt at the strike of a matchstick.

Meanwhile bloody footprints
reshape a landscape.

Technology ascending
  Traditional religion ending
Robots comprehending
  Life's secrets upending

Black holes extending
  Cyber wars impending
Electronic devices contending
  Wizard-like gurus pretending

Media noise unrelenting
   Massive armament-spending
Extremism transcending
   Holocausts never ending

How much better now, our enlightened Life --
   Man's Progress measured in Death, Polarization and Strife...

When one of inspiration is shorn
And every poetic thought stillborn
When every glimmer of light disappears
And every proud conceit ends in tears

Should I to my unheeding Muses turn
And offer holocausts for them to  spurn?
Would Melpomene listen,Thalia heed
And grant help in my hour of need?

Why do they cast me so cruelly aside
In my own grim Hades to abide?
Prayers do I offer for this barren time
Wherein the empty page is branded crime....

The twentieth century 
fades into memory 
  The wars, the holocausts, the roaring twenties, 
the Depression, and the 60's are becoming 
the stuff of legend 
The years continue to roll on 
     Bolshevism in retreat now 
Will there be a better day soon? 
Make up your mind powers that be!
     the masses are hoping
for sweet relief 
The story of the 1900's is done 
   Perhaps there are brighter days ahead 
   We must learn to live on hope!...

Beneath the leaves 
One may find 
Scribbles of another kind 
Written there are hidden truths 
Collated by collective roots 
Stashed under a different roof 

Stored next to a bed of bark 
Are twisted tales from the dark 
You’ll find something similar to 
Gideon’s Bible soaking up the dew 

Nuclear holocausts they will survive 
Though, these Hotels take their lives 
So, if you’re a cockroach checking in
You just may want to find a friend 
In Jesus!...
