Un Naked
Underneath the station bench
like part of he
who should not be named
The shame of those
Merrick berated
felt
when before them 
stood a man
Can not show my real face 
how can i be naked
when false eyes
will not judge
as fairness cant decide...

For Folk Than Never Felt Different
John Merrick names us animals
The elephant in the room
Only seems to grow
The third instalment
i give you a tagline
The world end war
Standing in the past on virgin shoreline
Pushing the evolving terrestriality back in
Why do we feel so alone
because we deserve to be
Long live the weeds
that choose where it can grow...

Ghost of Garland
Ghost of Garland

Merrick Garland's ghost;
Would have been a perfect host;
Have loved him the most.

Jim Horn

Some are saying that Garland's ghost 
still remains and will be in Congress 
building and often there does linger 
while Democrats want to give Trump
the finger. Sure does sound like some 
signs of discontentment to me I know
everyone won't want to see.....

Elephant Man
John Merrick
Freak show fascination 
Machine trauma exhumation 
Have you found it? 
Yes, (An awful morbid operation) 
Did you see it?  No. 
One of the curious 
Pay for a peek 
Life is full of surprise's 
Consider the fate 
Consider the life 
Torture as a spectacle 
Deformed and mutated beyond reform 
Rescued by sympathy 
A man of faith  Ugly as sin 
A freak is never safe 
Difference never wins 


END 



(inspired by the David Lynch film of the same title)...

Total Devestation
Total Devastation

Of smoke saw big plumb;
Certainly did ceil our doom;
Then swept tomb with brume.

Will equivocate;
Hesitate and celebrate;
Did elaborate.

Prefer to pilfer,
While each flower will wilter
Had to kill him and her..

We deserved lower
Rate and we can hardly wait
For it to be done.

Merrick Garland's ghost
From coast to coast perfect host
Who was loved the most.

Get a grip on self
Of information was a wealth
You will be faced with.

Jim Horn...
