Short Ritually Poems

Four in one, nine baptised,
I hear you say legalised fraudlence,
Promises air-conditioned highways and streets,
Salaries and wages without working,
An easy life made sweet and comfortable.

Now, all can join the bandwagon of rigging, 
Of Moonslide Marsslide victories,
With babies and peoples ritually sacrificed,
Received with glee by their lord, 
The god of politricks....

Four in one, nine baptized,
I hear you say legalized fraudulence.
Promises air-conditioned highways and streets;
Salaries and wages without workings,
An easy life made sweet and comfortable.

Now, all can join the bandwagon of rigging,

With babies and peoples ritually sacrificed.
Received with glee by their lord,

Trotter's words are his deeds
girding the Earth
in great magnetic lines
of universal intent.

In Ward's ritually upraised palm
we see the symbol Coriolis
south draining left
north draining right

Into the realm of Neptune
via the cisterns of Rome
down the ancient river Po
to wicked storms at sea

Into vortices the poet's passport
falls as a man overboard
all its pages torn
one by one....

The slots spin,
the casino’s siren song
bellows its flashy music-box tune.

Click, click, click….

O so close!

“It’s not gambling,” she says,
“it’s just a half-assed prayer
we ritually repeat to a sleeping deity.
one that doesn’t like germy fingers
poking at her all night.

Don’t forget to wash your hands,
they provide restrooms,
for when we are tired
of crapping out
on the craps tables.”...

It was
four in one
nine baptised i hear

You say
this is indeed
legalised fraudlence

In it
air-conditioned 
highways,streets promised

as are 
salaries and wages 
without legitmate working

and easy
life made sweet
and very comfortable

all can
now join the 
bandwagon of rigging

of shows,
adulating in Moonslide
and Marsslide victories.

Alas with
babies and peoples
ritually gleefully sacrificed

with joy
received by their 
lord, god of poltricks....
