Odious transgressor,
Often wearing face masks.
Objective - get money.
Ominous demeanor,
Offensive behavior,
Out maneuvers the law.
Ostracized by good folk.

Judge Or Outlaw

The evil he did nobody saw

Who was hoping the sheriff to kill
He missed his first shot

Now he's the one bound for boot hill...

His words are his weapons to slay and to kill
I pray for him really, for he not understands
But just mocks from ignorance as that is his thrill

Most of all he needed killin'
The posse made of twenty souls
Buried him here shot full of holes

Fat

like feeling
the fall when
approaching
the edge of
the world

yet wait why 
would my 
own weight
pull me down

thinking i've
always been
an outlaw
but this

will be
gravely
breaking
the law of

gravity

Premium Member Billy the Kid's Pa

I got to thinkin' about Billy the Kid
and the peculiar line of work he did.
If I were Billy's older brother or pa,
I would say, "instead of bein' a bad outlaw",
why not get yerself an education,
a 401K and three weeks' vacation.

Ode To Tupac Shakur

Political Outlaw was his mother
The offspring was he
A fallen thug
He thought he was immortal 'til them five slugs
Doctors couldn't save him
Angels had to take him
He had become legendary
In the hearts of his fans they still love him
See he wasn't a bad person at all
Just not understood

Black Rain

I have zero regard
for structure and form
if the words as written work
A poetic outlaw
to ruled acceptance
in search of what may lurk
Critics and enemies
seed the cloud
that overflows with spite 
To rain upon   
my chosen path
— of radical delight

Foreign Foods

indonesian beaches and
days of infinite hunger
drunk and repellent
I am again
there’s no time for fishy flattery
'cause god called a horseman
flogging a dead horse
outlaw of the oscillation nation
playing with matches
by the gas-works
and I have this foreboding
of foreign foods
and fishmonger hooks

"New Gold Dream"
Fever bites manifestation burns towards you prowls on soft footed paw takes its time - it’s an Outlaw automatic written change gears foot flat and hard to the floor shift up lanes changed slow cars passed . . . (LadyLabyrinth/2019)

Democrats Watch Westerns, Too

Bonanza on my TV
After that the Rifleman
Democrats watch Westerns, too
I can't write cowboy poetry 
since I a not a cowboy
But I have been to Texas 
and written for a publication based there
Democrats watch Westerns, too
Jesse James was a fierce outlaw
But I am not cut out to be him 
as the song says
But, yes, Democrats watch Westerns, too

Premium Member Zorro, the Legend

He rode fast, he rode hard!
on his black mighty steed!
His sword wrought him fame toward...
helping those in dire need!....

He was deceivingly mistook for...
an outlaw and a thief!
but was only there to restore...
his peoples honor and relief!

The swift sword of Zorro...
his black horse, cape and mask!...
are forever.... tomorrow!
in legend to bask!

A Kid of Cunning

They call me cunning but Im only a kid
They call me stunning want to take a bid
I might gamble I might cheat
Lets just skip that beat
I've already confess 
My one true purpose
That to gain not give
For I want to live
Slated as a outlaw 
Accused as a thief
Why do i bear all this grief
Ha Ha many laugh but they are not true
Accused themselves and all there old world crew

To My Inlaw the Outlaw

"I recognized the rainbow
in the night when
you were waiting for
the sun to rise on the
dark side of the moon.

When I was a kid, the sun
would melt the pavement
on the way to school,
hot, shifting colors on
the slickened road.

And today the black pools
in the swamp said the
same thing: forbidden joy.

Morning is in the eyes
of your children and
the tiny roots are moving
into the soil.
