Premium Member Martyrdom of the Self
When you're full of sad
Just open up a vein
And empty it all into the toilet.
There is bliss in lightheadedness
Fading into perpetual
Slumbering ease....

The Nihilist Penguin
There was once a penguin who thought
That religion and morals were naught,
As he swam in cold water
He thought, "Boy, I oughta...
Do something, but I don't know what.”...

Biden 2020

Emotion Bought In.
Invested Nihilism.
Kamala, Biden.

Hate hypocracy?
KKK, segregation
Big D. history.

Tear down the statues.
Democratic Party Sin.
Tear it down right now.

Trump grabbed the kitty?
Biden sexually fondled!
Fems love their Biden.

Heaven To Me
Here, look at life,
It’s full of strife.
I am quite genial,
But my work is menial.

Money everywhere and all
But I am poor and small.
Heaven will open a door,
Justice for the many poor.

It’s an age again of nihilism.
Affirm Heaven and believe—
There is a balance sheet.
Life has purpose—don’t cheat....

Crazy Thought
A bacchanal cachexic by right 
Gnathonic felicificative zoetic
Juxtaposition to inculpate yaff
Hysteresis ellipsis languescent.

Wyrd querimonious tenebrose
To rusticate palladian malison?
Dealbation kleptomania usitative
Sanguineous abattoir in nihilism.

Obsecrate vesuciate xerophytic
So that existence may evolve!...

Friendly Zen Simple Things
"Friendly Zen Simple Things",
with a holy-underoot,
are the poems which divide
me from you.

Nietzche says a nihilism springs
from the death of God that can't
think value to any thing, save
a great void---MU(nothing) in
Budhist script.

But in our society it's turned an ascetic 
to casual flatulator ripping 
amidst a crowded room....

My Magellan
i am the man who weeps for the world
i am the man who weeps

i do not, I will not
bleed for the world
i’m not the one who bleeds

little sister, my love
do not dry your eyes on my account

i am a fleeting consolation

i have been
to the ends
of the world
i have seen
the great emptiness (it lies) 
on the other side of that horizon...

Glorification of Nihilism
I asked her in a poem
"Why do you see a snake?"
She did not respond, ever.

I asked him in a poem
"Why do I see a tattoo?"
He did not respond, either.

There are holes on the wall, 
older stain, signs of learning
An absolute indication of bad reading.

And bless thee in me, to still be there.
To carry it through, through darkness, through late hours....

A Nihilism
a tasteless stone soup                                                                                                                                                                             everyone puts in a stone                                                                                                                                                                offering nothing...

Still Life
couple on a motor
cycle with a death wish
drum drops
still pond
early morning
coolness broken

pull that poison, pull it deeply
deeply, deeply
pull it deeply
keep that breath, like memory bitter
sweetly taste that lungs can know

a good will, strong, and a one hundred
these are made alone
for breaking
benjamin Wishing, Well behind
our time,
our pennies
are made
for throwing...

Guilty Gear
It's like death but sweeter
It's freezing by the heater
It's narcissism, fanaticism,
And folly on a cake

It's like steel but tougher
I've got acid but no buffer
It's cynicism, pessimism,
And idiocy in a shake

It's like mucus but putrid
It's milk and booze diluted
It's nihilism, optimism,
And ignorance in a pie

It's like sugar but sour
It's drowning in the shower
It's like having happiness and sorrow
Impaled into your eyes...

Vivacity
O, my soul, strike the balance
twixt lethargic nihilism
and frenetic paranoia.

As the river runs its course,
and the Earth falls in an endless swoon toward the light ...

Let me walk, let me run, let me dance, let me live

eyes sparkling with delight at an existence pregnant with meaning

without fear that I can't possibly do everything I would wish to

knowing that my Earthly walk is a mere stroll 
on a road beyond the stars.

With Bated Breath
Detected overpowering odour ascending by degrees
Rational thought dissolved in fear
Animalistic unearthly roar transpiring
Gigantic mockery of every living thing
Oblique it’s huge amber eye surveyed
Nostrils twitching rapidly to detect
Stagnant atmosphere all pervading
Tantamount aversion restrained
Onerous task to undertake
Nihilism mindfully conjured despair 
Extinction of human kind a possibility

Stone of Nihilism
Stone of Nihilism 

Stained glass lies
Colored shards of broken truth
Puzzle pieces arranged in
Sanctimonious expression 
Designed to camouflage  falsehoods 
The perjury of Priests  
Disguised deceit in windows of brilliant rainbow hues
Lighted by a sunlight of fraudulent confession
Hypocrisy designed with  prismatic glass of fragile faith
Proudly hang in your Church of Shame
My single stone of Nihilism
Shatters the pigmented panes of your tinted atrocities

*The Taliban are "intensifying the hunt-down" of individuals who worked with the Afghan government and its allied forces, conducting "targeted door-to-door visits" and arresting or threatening family members of "target individuals" unless they surrender, according to a confidential UN document....

On Readers Digest 2
The only book teaching humanism;	
The only which cures locoism;	
One and only poem for lyricism	
Is Reader’s Digest’s mechanism.	
If you see it through any prism	
Can find joy, fun, thrill and sarcasm	
This is a  weak agent of nihilism;	
This is the best known idealism	
Where all spend individualism	
To receive mental masochism.	
Reading it is just like mesmerism.	
Without it school suffers gargoylism.	
Indian tradition or let be Maoism,	
It is well read and accepted optimism....
