Love is a martinet
A displinarian who has 
Panel beaten the minds 
Of the madman
I'm no exception for
My heart sings
LOVE

Make massive the melody of meek man....

Without conscience 
Feeling or empathy 
Of any kind
A psychotic madman 
Escapes into the night.

Once upon a time
When with legs, ref-ward!
While the noon full-fed 
Upon the lass’s pot belly; 
Then, they in the ref
Heard what 
Once I heard 
What 
The madman said:
“I like to dance Cuba’s rumba” 
O, Cuba’s rumba in Africa!...

I held the hand
of a madman
hiding in Hollyhocks
blending with ogres, 
eerie in tombs, 
chasing stars through
their animal shapes; 
others, a witch 
to their ghosts, anew, 
those gardens
though full, were
dark worlds at night...

you push a pipie
you might pray
your words form
a formula 
a rode house 
a street
a madhouse 
a madman dressed in burlap
a court hearing 
a presences 
a feeling 
a song
a picture from Walmart 
a wife
a husband
kingdom push...

Whispers of vespers
I am tickled by nocturnal whiskers
whisking away the camera roll
of morning and afternoon
whiskey pictures
a picnic bowl of marvelous
madman mixtures
I voice my witch doctor
opinions with high dialect scriptures...

The Outer Island 

Small Island in a summer lake
And on a day of play 
Young people were slaughtered by
A madman posing as normal.

Another summer the island is
Full of wild flowers 
Whispering trees 
A requiem for those left behind....

   The party of the hee-haw would now impeach Mr. Trump
     for denying the world’s arch-enemy, a madman, access to the bomb

   It takes a blind donkey to kick the hand that redeems it 
     and now the rest of the two-legged world sees it

It’s an antichristian theory and method
The way I give myself this plague	
Sickening solitary sustenance of my own sins
An urchin warm within my spirit like a fetus in a womb 
It’s Godless; I’m Godless
To glorify a madman
It’s habitual
To let the madman in...

Robin Williams the first

you have to watch American Idol

you have to watch some porn

you have to pay taxes that make weapons and go

to who knows what dictator and what madman

you have to go punch your wife in the face

you have to get drunk

you have to hire this prostitute

So who has time for poetry?...

It's right out in the open for everyone to see ~

puppets bought and paid for
dancers strung and played
delusional parrots with microphones
hostages read the demands of a madman
while maintaining somewhat of a poker face

It's never been so obvious : integrity has its price....

Moment
Moment touched the heart
Has kidnapped from my life
Forget all winner
Shake my feelings

Moment
I should be forgotten
And left me like a madman
Moment
I saw your eyes is no longer a place where the moon
Moment
I saw the smile did not speak much on my way to the title...

The wrestler-in chief is quite bad
In Trump there's one horrendous cad
This madman disgrace
Lost the mask on his face
Whoa—it’s not the Donald—it’s Vlad!


Author's note: No explanation is needed.  They say that Putin actually died a few years ago, but that appears not to be the case....

When they disinterred his corpus
they kicked up quite a sizeable  rumpus.
for they found no slight trace of toxin
in what remained of Rasputin.
His end must have been gory,
but this news from the grave makes me sad
not so much on account of the madman
as the disproof of his end-of-life story....

While music holds memories of each second
And the devil weeps with each beat of her heart.
Unfit to steal, her essence will not depart.

He ciphers - baffled by this new development.
Designed by three simple chords - strummed with new contempt,
The madman crawls crooked - knowing she is exempt....
