Short Sterilized Poems

On death row I was somewhat surprised,
once an inmate had been tranquilized,
that when facing death,
and a very last breath,
the lethal needle must be sterilized....

Coarse and contrived
Sterilized pride
Deaden

Absent and aloof
Formalized spoof
Leaden

Surly and wry
Hostilities nigh
Redden

Distrust and dissent 
Predestined event
Armageddon...

I’m sharing 
Thanksgiving
For this life
I feel like I’m in paradise

My heart and mind has been sterilized
As in super sized
Not like Mickey D
More like jubilee

I’m counting my blessings 
And not my problems
I don’t need the drama
Period. No commas

Life is good
It’s an awesome tour
For the ones who are mature
It’s greater than diamonds and its allure...

(Glorified Pear Honey)

The lowly pear,
no zip, no burn.
Major juice, anemic flavor.

Add orange and lemon for bite.
Grind all to blend.

Add sugar for sweetness,
cook, covered, in 200 degree oven,
eight or more hours,
as you sleep.

Upon awakening,
add maraschino for color, 
seal in sterilized jars,
store in pantry.

Pear Honey
on morning toast,
grants a baklava morning,
without the fat.

taken from me
abandoned in the outer reaches of my mind
crashing slowly against the breach
giving, taking, mingling in balance
my mental ballast has erupted
and my soul has eroded
my guilt peeks in on me
to remind me I am still in debt
in the Autumn season of my mentality
I am vandalized and sterilized
left broken and alone
no color
no essence
no future
in the twilight of my descent
I am yet a minor in time 
and can not consent to my downfall...

The birds are gone
               along with the field
               that is gone ...
               The birds left,
              along with the fields
               that disappeared ...
              Disappeared in the burn
              darn,
              disappeared in the occupation
              rampant ...
              The hysterical men
              sterilized the earth,
             exterminated the birds
             and they left the devastated life ...!...
