Engels and his comrade Karl Marx
Cite the fight with rich greedy sharks
Tight with hoarded dough!
Their manifesto
Notes the bloat that floats oligarchs...

Socialism, a theory of Karl Marx
Has kept too many nations in the dark
   Russia, Cuba, China
   And now Venezuela
Where half the electric grid doesn't spark...

Standing on busy Pilkington avenue
Rain as sky tears full of rage
Moth- men in cages 
Zoom past all of them sages
Sending post cards of themselves
To their egos....

Erotic as an ape —Karl Shapiro

I am not an ape
I am simply a ghost
I am not erotic
I am simply a ghost
Once I kissed Meenie
I love Meenie Okay
But I am not erotic
I am simply a ghost

Ice King
By Karl Marszalowicz

Null in the numbness
Defunct system collapsing
His blight in my hand

Abuses don't melt
Reliving a time of need
Cold words blistered me      
 
Crying icicles
Shattering a childhood
He liked me frost bit...

alone in the world
with no-ones soft touch
when no-one cares
but i need it so much
without you here i,m split in two
without you and me
i,m only half here
i move in motion as each day passes by
knowing in my mind
that i must get by...

His name does noy ring a bell
But,good acting helped his film's sell-
Good looks were never his..
Though always worth his hire,
Winning an oscar,with Streetcar named Desire

Tribute To Karl Malden (1912-2009) One of the best  of Hollywood's supporting actors...

I got a reply on "Leather Jacket"
Karl Howard is the name
Telling me I have a chance in the poetry contest
With links just the same.

That person doesn't exists
On Soup that I can see
But some of my poems are gone
Does anyone else have this problem...or just me?...

Don't scream about equality;
        life's unfair, that's reality;
        just do the very best you can
to truly be a worthy man.

Productive work and mind, said Marx,
        beget the humanizing sparks;
        self-worth and self-respect, said Rand,
can make this place a better land !...

That night, when the air was an azure army,
a tempter, a civil delight,
We stood blowing kisses
(the wind stood there with us)
on your porch lit by fire bug light
The night settled sweet right above us, 
your street in a bath of a contrary glow
and we spoke (how we spoke)
'till the sun almost woke up
and melted us back into snow......

Karl Marx was a historian and scholar
  Groucho Marx whooped it up and hollered

    Both of them were starved for attention
    Neither of them honorable menschen *  



  ____________________________________
  * 'Menschen' in Yiddish literally means 'men.'
  But it is used to describe honorable, decent
  human beings, kind and caring....

I can't hear the surf for seal barks
I suspect they are calling all sharks
To end all their woes
By eating their foes
We've not heard the last from Karl Marx!

(THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: 
 With the declining birthrate and 
4-million pandemic deaths, the  odds are 
one might reincarnate as a cicada with 
17-years before your next meal!...

Mama
Her patient love
Her caring voice
Her kind deeds
Her loving heart

A woman of integrity and pride
One who would do anything for her child

A wonderful person is she
Who gives of herself to all including me

Even though she can be strict
She can also be fun
When hard times come
She shines like the sun 
And always over come

The actual pressure must be made more pressing by
adding to it consciousness of pressure, the shame must
be made more shameful by publicizing it.     Karl Marx


Edward, Julian & freaky Chelsea:
Why didn't they hack Time Warner &
Give the People something useful,
Like a good 5-cent doobie,
Free high-speed internet & cable TV
Including Canadian hockey &
MILF porn channels?...

Karl was pasted to the park bench
constable Dodds raised his body with a heavy 
kick followed by a smart crack from the night stick

Karl’s swollen ear tried to pull
his face from the bench
once more with the night 
stick and he was up

Karl limped to a nearby tree and dispensed 
himself before striking an angry fly
loaded at the bigbucks across the street 
three men with very tiny heads burst into laughter...

Change of Tide

Life is not always what it seems.
One pebble makes a ripple, a wave, tsunami

Shattered dream floats in a stream,
Tears damn dam

Internal isolation, finger slammed
Heart wrenched, what a jam

Floating, floating dreams a dying, can't stop crying, bereaved, pining for Mourning the lost which can't be found, 

Change of Tide, changes, change embraced, mending, needles sewing bits together, all's not lost.... Change of Tide

Karl Goulbourne...
