Her belly inflated with hate
Flat out on a gurney
For one final journey
From hospital food that she ate...

assume a rather lofty position 
as many who do so are in reality
just writers of poems with inflated egos....

A target set by a politician
may stand for an inflated ambition,
     for when it's not met
     he'll be most upset
for it gives to his foes ammunition....

A robotic boyfriend she dated
Was ‘blow up’ and voice activated
She had a quick grope
And said up periscope
And that’s when his doo dah inflated...

Grocery prices are now so inflated
I eat dried yams 'till my hunger's abated
Everything cost a mint
My billfold grows lint
Then again, food is so overrated!

From merchants
One law may be derived,
To warn all

Our constitution is a lie.
What they call Evolution
Is nothing more than,

An inflated fallacy
fashioned by the outlaws in us
meanness is constant....

Inflated lies keep me on edge.
Tender in her promise to let me down without justification.
Sweet fragrance mixed with wine talk are enough to keep me ignorant.
If I don't leave soon I might not live to regret it....

Can a planet ring like a bell?
Hollow earth theory can, t fortell.
But Neptune rings home by. mother Bell.
Whose cell phone was sent to hell?
Roaming charges inflated my bill.
I can't call home, my phone's there still....

You try to hold the desert sand in your burning hand,
To measure your inflated ego as a mighty man
And as the grains slip through your hand, you finally understand,
You can walk upon this earth, but ...'God' still owns the land...

Loveless like a salt lake
or a dry thunder making a
big fuss about its 
potential, loveless like an 
inflated ego that pumps its 
chest with 
empty air, loveless like rain
that drops to kiss the lake
goodbye, salt upon salt....

Seems like such a good thing, 
too bad there’s an agenda; 
It’s strangling the middle class,
making us all dependent
under the guise of a helping hand;
Later we will see the remnants 
upside down  and inflated;
Shame on us for letting them....

Obliged by my soul's desire to bask in each moment.
Flares of streaming brilliance nourish and balance my fortitude.
Joy tugs the breath caught in a less inflated self.
Awake, alive, and alert at the boardroom table of my life....

she is sleeping
like a lioness
after a late night
burst with the power 
man
alea lacta esta
expects
quick returns
insecure core in
an inflated ego
plush love nest
acquinti qui tuetur
age quod agis
i am going to
sleep

Trump US

Donald spouts off
Campaign platform thin
Will he brand Trump US?

Trump has a tendency of naming things after himself, Trump Tower(s), etc.... So I figure if he wins (God hope not), he would change the name of the USA to fit his over inflated ego....

In a sharp world of harsh words
Tenderness has escaped it
I feel like I am surely
Very deflated

A piece of me sits aloft
With no air being left in
I’m no longer inflated
Pierced by the ice pick…

Of the harshly frozen world

There was an old man on a cart,
Acquaintances knew him as Bart,
As he only ate beans,
He inflated his jeans,
And smelt of a permanent fart…

Inspired by She’s Like the Wind (which I misheard as She’s Got the Wind, lol)

Hold up the mirror and see who are
Your  inflated ego an your sports car
How dare you take it out on us
Lash out in anger an make such a fuss
Face the truth and have some couth 
Repent or the pain will not lesson
An stop this aggression
We will not be Threatened.........

There once was a flatulent fellow
Who hailed from the state of Ohio
He would try as he might
Keep it in through the night
But got so inflated he'd just blow

I find everyone riding the acme of jubilance,
but weeping at their inflated gloominess
Thy lords have created everything,
yet every pneuma is suffering
If you watch closely,
there is so much satire in this tiny sphere,
Every leaf that breathes,
hides an ache deep underneath....

This barmaid is generous
she showers every visitor
with hot irresistible smiles
sprays those in attendance
with warm tricky greetings
and drowns every customer
with beers, spirits and sodas
after everything done keenly
she splashes sleepy customers
with inflated credit letters...

The flesh we wear today 
  may often deceive our knowing
To act as if each day is unrelated
  to the next will shackle us
  to the past
Exalted words 
 translated from inflated minds
have prevented prosper alongside 
  humility
For yesterday I was
  today I am
  and tomorrow I will be...
