And slow-cooked at night,
Could it be that
Al Gore was right?...

Your wounds bleed past tomorrow
 an inconvenient truth
Unsutured blame — till death reclaims
its healing absolute

Al created the algorithm
One late night as Tipper danced with him
The thought came by chance
As they freestyle danced
Initially dubbed "Al Gore Rhythm!"...

At a time inconvenient it teases,
As it comes whensoever it pleases.
Creeping ever so sly,
It will make you yell, "Why?!"
And the thing that I speak of is sneezes....

I can freeze you with a sensuous glance
  Set you ablaze with the touch of my lips
    In the flames of fiery amorous romance
      there are times when my personna slips

Darling, I swear to you, I'm not a witch ~
  It's just an inconvenient and untimely glitch...

Pro-Palestinians shout
     What about?
   "How can you support
     Gaza's occupier?"

   Those who shout
     are rather dumb louts
   Gaza's occupier since 2007
     is (surprise!) ~ Hamas!

   Israel withdrew in 2005
     eighteen years ago
   Ever since then Gaza has been
     100 percent Palestinian...

What malevolent thing
with intrinsic sting
attacked me
a few short days ago
whose coming and going
a mystery?
Doctor says it's a bite
but it stings alright
I was laid low

Tablets, gel and a pack of ice
"keep it up" was the advice
I hobbled about the place
my leg on show
an inconvenient episode
and painful?
Very...
The perpetrator never showed!...

Quick! Let’s get to the bottom of it. 
uncover the answers we seek 
aggressively we are being spoon fed 
running  like desperados  
Asymptomatic ; stuck in a circle of chaos 
nevermind what we do not know 
too much is shrouded in paranoia
inconvenient to look below the surface
now forced isolation, mindset changes,
Earth healing; may be what can free us....

Waking up another day

wondering should I

give my life away

I tried to take mine

it didn’t work easily

I guess for the others

the decision was free

and when your days get cold

only a few friends roll

so real life ain’t no drama

with some distant applause

its an inconvenient cause

I don’t have a lot use of my legs

I have a dream

I have the brain

and it just have to maintain !

We’ve redefined God
Into someone 
Who fits
His image
Our vision
His vision
Inconvenient
Alongside things
That won’t let go
His message untimely
With bills to pay 
And concrete goddesses 
To which we pray
  “a tail never tried to wag
   a bigger dog”
As we chant inside the 
False rapture
Of our own 
Becoming
Hiding from the very 
Light
That promises
 —to show us the way

(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2016)...

The moon looks to be shining brightly right now.
Our lives are shown to us in a short, quick show.
There is no one else to blame but us for our flaws.
It contrasts admirably with the way the wind blow.
We can refer back to the flag by raising the billow.
It's inconvenient to be forced to limit one's view.

The most tragic loss is our way of thinking.
In a state of confusion, no one is striking....

I must give you a very stern warning:
Don’t ever call me at three o’clock in the morning.
You certainly have some unencumbered effrontery.
Why at such an inconvenient time do you want to pester me?
Normal people find the time to sleep at that hour.
How would you like to take a sulfuric acid shower?
I know where you live, and I will come over to your house.
An ingrate like you is the personification of a louse.

Behind the masks 
We are safe 
From epidemics 
Behind the masks
Thieves and robbers 
Being not recognised 
Are safe too
Behind the masks
Voices become indistinct
Dining becomes inconvenient
Smiling hidden 
Anger has no vent
Sorrow and despair overlooked
Beauty not appreciated
Behind the masks 
Just like the politicians and cheaters
Never show their real faces
But don't worry
God always read your hearts
But not your faces...

Come shop with me 
  up and down the aisles
Buying whatever we please

Scurry around slowpokes
  crash into displays
Swerve to avoid kids in the way  

No matter the season
  don't need a reason
'May-hem' in April
  a Chinese fire drill

Arrive at the register
  Butt into line ~
Cos' you just broke water
  at 'a most inconvenient time'

So come shop with me
  for moments to treasure
Enjoy one of life's 'guiltiest pleasures'...

Rhyming is a delightful game
certainly one I love to play.
I thank the muse who comes to me
On any given day.

She sits upon my shoulder.
Whispers words quite candidly.
If she whispers enough of them
Then sentences I see.

If the words aren't written down
They simply fade away.
And only segments will return
On an inconvenient day.

I will continue doing
What this presence does decree.
I perceive her as a lady
Goddess of the poetry....

Tooled up, the army chaplain
Is wielding the words of God
Straight in for the kill
With ‘The work of His will’
And ‘He came not with peace but the rod’

The sixth commandment is tricky
A most inconvenient law
For the turn of a cheek
On the battle field bleak
Is far from conducive to war

So, pity the army chaplain
And the conflict that rages within
As the ranks of the dead
Tramp a march through his head
And he murders his conscience with gin

Gorging upon self-indulgence
while your soul lies starving in the corner
Dissociatively liberated from consequence
as the host endures accountability

Psychotically clinging to a desirable fiction
(an accessible and depraved fantasy)
and basking in its soothing narratives
whenever the tangible becomes inconvenient

Dipping sporadically into a permeable
realm of artificial favorability
Detaching yourself from that which exists
to experience that which is merely theoretical...

remembrances, of dad
so alive. now silent.

shall i speak it
shall i speak of sadness
not sorrowing grief
but inconvenient sadness

the gaps
the gaps of a father i did not know
did not understand
the child he once was
the man who lived and fathered me

the first of his siblings to die
they came and watched wordlessly
pre-occupied in scattered thoughts

the long goodbye
uttered over and over
long after dad left us
yet i am still
now calling, now whispering
goodbye....

old habits never die 
they just get buried 
underneath the progress 
we think we make towards change
in reality we are stuck with 
the baggage that old habits bring 
we can never truly get ride of 
that emotional baggage that our 
habits have brought into our existences 
try as we might no one is ever truly free 
from the mistakes of the past 
the mistakes of the past always have 
an uncanny way of rearing their ugly heads 
through out one's life at the most inconvenient times...
