The man boiled his manifesto
with dry red pepper and ginger
those who taste it, young and old
shade tears of  wit at table

Premium Member Kim-Chee

Cabbage is pickled in a glass jar with plenty of red pepper. Buried underground, it lies undisturbed as it ferments away. It takes several months of aging before what we have is Korean “kim-chee“.

Red Pepper

Red pepper is a kind fire
burning without flames
causing eyes to rain without clouds
sitting on own cool hot  stool
never causing wild bush-fire
giving suckling babies hot raw deals
but raising appetites of celebrants
cruel in hands of enemies


The Furry of Curry

The spice in the curry mirrors my anger. Angry of being a part of a race with no peace. The small bits of red pepper scatter Like the blood of the innocent. An explosion of heat burns my tongue Like the bombs do their victims. Innocent tongues… Who will never speak of peace Nor taste a meal again.

Liar

Hell in a jar shake it and get a sand storm 
Chills down your spine you’re lucky if they come close to matching mine
Kiss me children hold me high 
And I will pretend you finger painted the sky
Who is god if not a man in his own image 
You are foolish and I am 
Blind. Red pepper eye rub intensely intentional shock 
Oh no 
Wrong? right?
Again.

Apolitician Is a Kitchen

a politician is a kitchen
kitchen so smoky
cooking chicken ideas
got from private farms

with a lot of smoke
in hurry, rush and crash
prepares food so  delicious
with local spices
sometimes red pepper
Then what happens?
the menu of smoke and spices
once ready
kitchen closes its door
citizens the waiting guests
go hungry but…hymmm
those who gate-crash
or demand
pick the pieces

From Their Daily Mouth

From their daily mouth
I hear them say
life has three ditches

Front dish is official
side dish  for sweetness
back dish seldom matters

Front, side and back dishes,
Are they truly necessary?
tell me, the world of the  she

front dish eaten with passion
side dish enjoyed with fear
back dish has red pepper

Think children of Africa
do not eat by the roadside
in public restaurant go, eat

Dead Or Alive

Every despot dead or alive
looks is red pepper
each with own stool
a stool never shared

Every despot dead or alive
loves the golden stool
those who try to look at it
have their eyes burned

Any despot dead long ago,
lies in the grave alive,
holding the stool to the chest,
to deny contenders.

Every despot dead or alive,
goes to hell with the stool,
since it’s hotly debatable
if any can reach Heaven’s gates
