She Tightens the Grips

The British Petroleum
Oil slick
She tightens
The grip
Like a boa constrictor
Surrounding the flesh of
The Mexican Gulf and
From head-to-toe
She swallows
It all


Condensation

A blossom has become laughter has become a smile 
    has become a petroleum has become a campaign 
   has become sometimes a kind of fascination?. 
  I weep why should the peaceful world bubbliiiiiiiiig?.

                The cold winter suffocates the world with its icy breath
             dark petroleum horizon, trembling bodies - chattering teeth
           Sparkling snow crystals have yielded silver, nothing was spared

Sea dump

Bone ash hills
The new kills 
Surfer fills the fishes gills
Helpless creatures of the septic sea 
Is this the way you were meant to be 
Chemical foam waves 
Petroleum roam beaches 
When will we learn the lesson it teaches

The US must generate jobs
And Petroleum Inc. wants mobs
Of workers to toil
Mining more gas and oil
But from the green future this robs

Is drilling the place to invest?
Can fossil fuel use still attest
To progress desired?
The car culture it sired
Drives Earth to a state sorely stressed

Premium Member Poetry Portfolio--The Jelly of Me

Jelly incorporates my inner self
Lips concealed with the petroleum
The lid covers my insecure body
Where it’s clear to see me used
Stamped to show the year I would die
If allowed to exist, I might not be as strong
Along the time beyond
And seeing through me
Isn’t as easy as it once was
I carry secrets within my belly
Of jelly once lubricated on her lips

On Readers Digest 3

It is the place of ill’s mausoleum;
This book is really an imperium
Which teaches everyone decorum.
A true product of petroleum – 
To fire out fallacy and presidium
And produces highest order decorum.
A place of mental gymnasium:
Highly creative, productive rum
Where ill shaded in mausoleum,
The place with lot of decorum,
Cannot be found in millennium.
It is the place of ill’s mausoleum.

Do Not Abuse Me

DO NOT ABUSE ME
I am a petroleum pipeline
Do not abuse me
If I burst, fire may burn you

I am a drug
Do not abuse me
If you take me wrongly 
You may develop health problem

I am a motor car
Do not abuse Me
If ther is an accident 
You may die

I am a gun
Do not abuse me
If you pull my trigger
You may kill someone

I am a woman
Do not abuse me
If you rape me
There maybe no children for you.

Before posting a letter and you lick it and stick it consider all the trees which would go to grow a bigger and better thicket if we don't wait it's not too late what with black rain and red tides while fossils fuel our vehicles petroleum product-propelled rides to turn a new leaf is my belief as going green keeps this planet blue makes all the sense in the world it's quite the right thing to do

A Whore Writes Home

would it be awkward to tell you
how the whole world
smells like petroleum jelly
or that the latex on my fingers
seems never to wear off
to explain
that after a while
they're all the same
one more mark
in a sea of the willing
if you offer the right look,
seeming supplications,
the most brittle of vows
all for a small recompense
that's never enough
it's more than an hour
you lose
in the company of hands
that offer no shelter

Stepping Out

Jamming Commercials

Starting earlier every year,
Christmas costs more and more with less cheer.
This year Santa fell flat.
His diet took the fat,
Elves said,” this will not be good” they fear.

Watching commercials, they got idea.
Close diners, except pizzeria.
Each ad on T.V. now,
Pictures of pizzas wow!
Santa gains, without diarrhea.

Ads worked, he got a jolly belly.
Elves solemnly sat in a deli.
Commercialized just right,
His red suit fit so tight,
They needed petroleum jelly.
