Short Implicated Poems

Hey, Cruel Memories
that I don't want to remember!
Do not beat all the pains and agonies
on my face
just like tens of hammers
pounding on one anvil
as if to shape a horseshoe,
It’s an absolute disgrace
cause you will then be implicated
in a scandal...

I had to turn the television off,
go into a quiet room
admit to myself
that I had played my part
in this collective consciousness,
this savage dream.
My wife comes home
I hear her making coffee
in the kitchen
but I am busy bombing and killing
and cannot be disturbed
by any other visions.
Few will understand these words
they will watch the news
not knowing we are all implicated.
We did this
we all dreamed this together....

When religion is politic
 and corruption of the monarch reaches state,
 then the nation suffers greatly,
 implicated in bad deed.
 
When T. More was forced 
to abandon true religion,
 pledge allegiance to the corrupt king,
 he preferred death than treason.
 
His allegiance was true God.
 New religions disappear
 faster than the corrupt kings.
 
As the shaking monarchs stand,
 such is corrupt, false religion –
 shattered will be their fate....

disconsolate flow of cascading woe
resonates in my aura-
for I am despondent 

implicated in melancholic fears;
visceral scars, my zenith-
apathetic spirit

mediocre ways of my days somber,
feeding the grimace pain wears-
undercurrent echoes

As my soul heart has a door that is closed;
Noise speaks loudness of per encapsulates;
My vessel contrite I am breathing bruise;
Broke heart open door that I may embrace;
Tears drops down my chin, my cheek, my whole face;
Breaths distorts ultimately---placated;
My arms and hands grasp holds implicated;
Opening and shutting of my heart strings;
Serrated set heart strung constipated;
As my soul heart has a door that is closed;
