Short Pilloried Poems

Georgie Bush has been pilloried relentlessly by the liberal press!

    He's been blamed for everything from (A)ids to this nation's (Z)aniness!

        Too bad they cannot remove the log from their biased eye,

            And see the miserable fix we are in with the current guy!

God bless the striking nurses, pilloried by some.'
They and the postal people, are a gift to everyone
The human touch, and prescence near in times
Of victory doubt and fear, the stand in line so fine
A rationale, to employ tells better times we can enjoy
Stand with those who only care' we've seen very devil
Bare' unity now the only way, ! with essential sevices
We need every night and day.....

Boiled in international broth
soiled by an internal sloth
emphasizing the epiphany
gorged by an internal gluttony
salivating a want to succeed
griped by an internal greed
creative moments of clarity
enveloped by an internal envy
triumph built on trust
lynched by an internal lust
paved to form a new path
wasted by an internal wrath
collective thoughts collide
pilloried by an internal pride...

Had there flowed blood 
In our peasants’ veins
We’d have built bridges
To join our several ridges.

But the fire of want 
Had our people dehydrated
And those (like me) who bled yet
Were catalogued to a grim existence.


O posterity!
Do not disdain our delicacy;
For time is multiplex
And might your ship dis-mast!...
