They are sweets
Licked when they chew red pepper
On the highway of life...

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

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“.

Pecks
red cardinal pecks
seeds from last year's red pepper....
between spring showers
I did wonder will I have volunteer banana pepper plants coming up all our yard, garden and the woods? LOL...

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...
