Premium Member The Sheriff
When sheriff Taylor saw the docket
 He found Otis high as a rocket
 Incompetence was rife
 With his deputy Fife
 Who kept a bullet in his pocket

In Love To Know How To Shut Up and Speak
if i commit a mistake
by recklessness or

Nothing say... nothing,

 Relevant procedure...
Love once in awhile
 is be mute
than exposed words...
talking can be love,
but don't talk sometimes
also is...!...

Rotten
It isn't just incompetence
That leads a custody evaluator
To to clean up messes
For bad actors,
To justify
The unjustifiable,
To gloss over
The vital,
It isn’t just incompetence,
It's the rotten system
That the custody evaluator
Has been marinating in.

Premium Member Ignorance's Boldness
One should never be surprised

If he sees ignorance sitting on the throne of success

For it is knowledge's timidity and modesty

That allows incompetence to become so audacious 

As to insist authority's crown to possess!

Vehemence
If your love were a flame
I'd allow it to blaze through me
and singe the edges of my heart
with it's sweltering fierceness

but your admiration
is a thick-headed icicle
shaped to weather any firestorm
ignited by adoring hands

how gelid it is
to be loved by a man
frozen with incompetence,
too cool to burn...

A Poem
Superhuman in his incapacity

Invincible in his ignorance

Unsurpassed in his arrogance

Nonpareil in his stupidity

Superlative in his sleaziness

Ingenious in his idiocy

Indefatigable in his lying

Glorious in his greed

Imperial in his incompetence

Terrific in his tyranny

Incomparable in his corruption...

Explaining Capitalism Socialism Ways
When "socialist" is
     governing and driving failure
      of the economy under capitalist regime
        it's not for anything else ... it's for lack
         of expertise ...
   
       When "capitalist" is
        governing and driving failure
          of the economy under capitalist regime,
            It is not for anything else than
             incompetence... !...

Parachute Effect
Tear away the political stagnance,
Tear away the rich incompetence,

Peel away the high society,
Peel away the fake sobriety,

Pull apart the bricks and buildings,
Pull apart lustrous families and siblings.

Take off the cover that shielded the truth,
The poverty in America of the old and the youth.

Let the lies continue to collect,
reveal the truth, the parachute effect....

Sitting Duck
I see the perfect girl, yet I still refuse to accept the invitation
The means to acquire her beauty would not reveal themselves
the descending power did not fall down upon me
Lack of time, prior attachments, and incompetence had left me a sitting duck
now I sit... left with impertinent, inconsistent, wandering thoughts
without the greatness of her impression
or a quick return promising their reduction...

Premium Member Yawning Gulf
Listen to poem:
The gulf between us
is such a yawn.
It's boredom 
drawn out 
in endless re-runs.
Opposites are meant to
attract like magnets,
north and south. 
Right!
But our chasm is abysmal.
It's a melody of maladies
and sick jokes bespoken
by a stand-up
with yawning incompetence
standing on a cliff,
shouting into the distance
while peering into the gulf
of what might have been.
No one's listening.
Right!...

Megan
She awakes, wondering what lies in front of her. As if everyday is a new task, wondering who is the one testing her. She is faced with incompetence, wondering why she puts up with it. Midday she counts the minutes left, wondering why she still plays along. Almost over, wondering what is next. Bell finally rings and she is joyous, wondering where the day went. On the brink of slumber, wondering what tomorrow holds. ??

A Bigger Threat

Incompetence…
  much more dangerous than corruption
    —when skillfully applied

(Note To The President-October, 2013)

    A Greater Wrong

Within a lesser right
 there is a greater wrong
