A Fellow Named Bernie

Do you know a fellow named Bernie
Who was indicted by our Grand Jury
The Ponzie scheme that he played
And all those people he flayed
He is now on a long Prison Journey

Evident Sui

Any proof for God is 
oxymoronic

God needs no testament,
only man

Not to be indicted,
 not to be confirmed 

Beyond all dialectic
—God is

The Political Elite

A mouthful
of hate
A bullhorn
of lies
Dissected
infected
With terminal
pride
Conscripting
the fledgling
Embedded
in brine
Indicted 
convicted
True felons
— of time

     The ‘Beautiful People’ of today
        play for the NBA

     30+ indicted for point-fixing
        just yesterday

     Mafia-invaded
        their ‘defenses’ penetrated ~

     Courts of law have the final say

Indicted

They gave birth
to a beautiful baby
and left him alone 
only a dog to play with
the dog was  happy
to have a  humble friend
and it taught him how to bite
yes, he excelled in the skill 
biting without sparing
biting without mercy
parents wept and exiled child
but were indicted by society
for false accusation


Immersed

A gaze so tender,
Even from afar so amber,
Heart jumping in aflutter,
How can a person so much render,
In perfect voice and eyes so wanting,

Taking my time to grace this occasion,
Extending my hands in persuasion,
Allow me this invasion, 
I am willing to be indicted
Of this love accusation.

True Greatness

Great, truly great is he
Who at every turn finds himself
Loved by the prudent
Encouraged by the humble
Indicted by mediocrity
Trailed by the inquisitive
Hunted by the wicked
Prosecuted by the jealous
Judged by malice
Convicted by the lowly
Imprisoned by time
Acquitted by his own wisdom
Relieved by the passage of time
Sustained by the Almighty
And respected by all!

The Island and the Cloud

Between freedom and Instagram
  there is an island,
  where men go to be alone

An island of words
  in arresting colors,
  with meaning indicted—but seldom heard

Between Facebook and tomorrow
  a cloud sits waiting,
  where men go to find themselves

An Angel calling role
  in blind acceptance,
  all names rejected—the letters whole

The Mayor

The mayor’s been indicted
And they’re searching through his things
To uncover proof that he deserves
The boot this often brings.

I live near Gracie Mansion;
The surrounding streets are lined
With police cars and the vans of press,
Arrest on every mind.

I don’t know if he’s guilty,
Though his circle’s shrinking fast,
But I’m pretty sure our time as neighbors
Isn’t gonna last.

Vindicated

Venerated priest John Almond
our brother - reprover  of sin,
a good example to follow
and to give testimony to Christ.

He often had to dispute
with heretical ministers,
who came away so confused
as not to know what to say.

He went through the crucible 
of life and of unjust punishment.
He was indicted
for it was a treason

for a priest ordained
according to the Catholic rite
to live in England;
so he was martyred.

No Repentance In Grave

No repentance in grave: 
The Holies don’t the company of sinners crave.
It’s no mere echoing of a Bible verse:
A trillion woes await the indicted hearse.

Every Deity should feel A Perfect Fool
Forgiving The Now-Lifeless with a stony look,
All subjects upholding the rule 
That at a transgressor should be thrown the book.
One doesn’t repent, when it’s time to decay
Or mention a debt one's creditor no longer wants one to pay.

Premium Member Bitsy and Sammy

Bitsy always goes barefoot, Sammy was told.
Never gets excited, her personality never gets old.
This was all from her grandpa, who thought she was gold.
After Sammy met her, he agreed three-fold.

Bitsy was an old-fashioned girl, who never got excited.
She cared not for news or who was getting indicted.
Sammy began pursuing her, she made him feel good inside.
“You are right, Leland,” he said. “she would make a wonderful bride.”

Premium Member Donald J Trump

Donald J. Trump Also known as a whiny, petulant grump Should be indicted for crimes he’s committed It’s hardly likely he could be acquitted. Donald J. Trump I suppose he’ll soon be hitting the stump Anything to seize the headlines, And avoid paying some hefty fines. Donald J. Trump Now much too large in the rump Not fit to be president of the U.S.A. I believe a vast majority feel that way!

The Prodigal Muse

Trapped in the meter
a prisoner of rhyme
My spirit indicted
a felon of time
A minstrel’s disciple
epistle in hand
The sound and the rhythm
my soul’s contraband
New couplets my jailer
their sentences cursed
The key to their freedom
locked deep in the verse
And serving in silence
chalk marks on the wall
I listen intently
for one voice to call
Awaiting its pardon
this exile to end
My words liberated
— to forever ascend
