The lemming’s way
Is like Hemingway's...

Fears and lies rotate
people listen like lemmings
Shots or shot are life...

Strange creatures we are,
Like lemmings at dawn.
From the failing stars,
To sunrise at morn....

fresh on her eyelids 
a zephry wind softly stirs  
gardenia lemmings

Who cares if the road winds or wends
so long as I step with my friends?
Quit hawing and hemming!
We are not the lemmings
who blindly fall off to their ends....

I must dream by a mountain
and knell by the bells
cliche after cliche
is my calling
From  Gibraltar to the Pennines
I see the lemmings meet their master
But the fireside grows dim
the crows come home to roost
Playing a deadly Violin Concerto
by the ghost riders byeway
As a single tree props the World...

"Pop! Pop! Pop!" goes a squeezed Desert Eagle.
  Two innocent bodies drop; funeral to be held for one.
Fleeing block party crew scatter like startled lemmings.
   A drive-by shooting; blood curdling screams follow. 
    Repeated cries of "Somebody call an ambulance!"... 
            Yet another day, somewhere in America....

They would have all of our thoughts
align in eclipse of the truth
blot from our eyes cold tears
not shed at reasons death

No more the fiendish touch
of tempting speech
to challenge questions asked
and why

Nor does the hand of wonder
dare reach to touch
for fear it might enrage
the gods they praise

Thus do the lemmings march
to chanted hymn
along the darkened edge
of freedom's rim

What's the point?
To life
I mean.

Here, we find 
ourselves
 following 
The crowd. 
Doing
as those who came
before. 
Why?

Did they know 
something,
anything,
about anything? 

Mindless 
lemmings
 are we?

Are we building 
something?

We're born,
 we live, 
we move on.
 
What do we do? 
Who do we follow?
Anyone?
 Are they right? 
About what?

Seems like the milieu 
is out of focus.

Time to evolve....

Look at all the little people
Insignificant lost souls
Hurrying, scurrying below
Like some fast-forward picture show.
Always moving rarely balking
And when walking hardly talking
Tiny animated shadows
Puny dots moving to and fro.
If they were me where I now stand
The whole of them would understand
They’re human lemmings on the run
Behind their leaders one by one.
From high above this bizarre scene
I see folly in their routine....

Towering concrete monoliths
Loom above seemingly mindless
Lemmings rushing, bumping, pushing
Their way in endless, moving lines
Of backward and forward motion;
Each with programmed destinations
Instilled by subtle brainwashing
By the few who reside above
In luxurious penthouse suites.
Below one of the unthinking
Queue falls dead on the cold pavement
Only to be trampled underfoot
Unattended amidst raucous
Noise of taxi horns and Sirens....

So, you’re prepared to compare?
What you’ve done to our country to thousands of innocent people being murdered out there? 

So, you’re prepared to disrespect?
Thousands of heroes who stayed to fight for their country to the xenophobic lies you made your lemmings and morons digest?

So, can you sink anymore?
Do you even hear yourself spiel this from your mouth and think that’s ok?

So, you represent us to the world.
How much shame do you think we can bear?...

The town hall clock chimed twelve
And the crowds they were  a' swelling,
A vision came into my mind
They reminded me of lemmings.

Of course there was no waiting cliff
No fabled deadly leaping,
Just an endless tidal flow
Onwards, ever creeping.

Each it seemed held a phone
'Twas quite a sight to see,
No colliding nor incidents
It was choreography!

We have evolved a sense
So we need not lift our heads,
We just switch to autopilot
Then chat and text instead....

State of Confusion



No to progress
Yes to Pence
No to openness
Yes to the camps
No to socialism
Yes to the lemmings
No to healthcare
Yes to healthcare
Very confusing
However
You have the worst healthcare
That's not confusing

Someone wrote his speech
Pay attention
They do not write his tweets
Llies upon lies

Poison ivy infects the land
Everyone is scratching their heads
Some though hide in the sand
Heads buried in hatred's depth

Comrades
Wake up!...

To the victims of state run media,
don't you see them twist the truth,
they then present it to the masses
hoping you will all be duped!

Facts don't really matter
as long as you are taken in,
creating lies a plenty,
its their toxic evil spin!

Do not join the lemmings
they are trying to confuse,
with the tricks they deploy,
their malicious dirty ruse!

Deception is the method
expressed as honest views,
they are hoping you are stupid
and believe in their fake news!...
