100,000 and Counting

American healthcare is a joke
Government play on too many folk
Those who can't pay
Die everyday
Whilst Trump switches from Lysol to Coke

Given Help Given Times

realising how life is given to kids,
nurturing like feeding a cat out of your palm.
Sometimes unfortunate, sometimes unlucky.
twisted fate crawls and switches off the light.

The Inferno

Unleash the monstrous beasts
                    From valleys of inferno
                            Rage them in darkness
                                   Till world switches to hell.

One Halloween Nite

One Halloween nite

While running away from some witches
I ran,  until I pooped my britches 
Then The Frankenstein creature 
With the most frightening features
Laughed until he popped his switches

Paracosm

Fancy-filled Fantasy!
Sizzling seventh cloud!
Angel-less Heaven!
Gods are hiding?
Universe of Little Prince!
Are switches set
Behind the scenarios...
Ornate! Exciting! Awesome!
Silent Spiunknds!

Women Witches Who Switches

Women Witches Who Switches

Trump started searching for women witches,
That from Republican to Democrat switches;
What he resolved,
All had dissolved;
They now will wear blue on their britches.

Sensor, [for Ed Lau] 1995

sensor 
as he walked
through 
the semi-dark 
hallway 
the light-sensitive 
switches told the lights 
to stay on 
as he passed his body forming 
a moving 
interruption 
to the 
constant 
flow of ... shadow

Between Two Parties

Between two parties Ron Paul openly stands,
a Libertarian running for the GOP nomination.
Wealthy Mitt Romney stealthily switches brands;
a liberal disguised as a Republican I’ll shun.

What I Had Coming

An exceptional wit can sometimes be shocking Affecting the proverbial Christmas stocking, I cannot remember being left so in stitches As an adult, I got a stocking full of switches.

Beauty

Fall
Starts
Patches
Fill with red
Yellow, gold, rust.
Cloudy, rainy day
Puts a damper on light's
Revealing forest's beauty. 
Then someone switches on the sun~
The illumination almost blinds~
Awesome is the masterpieces' radiance.

'Smarty-pants'

    ‘smarty-pants’
       too big for his britches

    kept his audience
       in virtual stitches

    on the road from rags to riches
       ran into some unforeseen glitches

    courtesy of parents' old-fashioned switches
       'smarty-pants’ derriere throbs and twitches

My Computer

My Computer lets me down.
It switches off.
No Windows or fat 32.
It sulks with nothing to do.

Hundreds of files appear every day.
I delete all I may.
They copy themselves.
Soon no space will be left.
Such a pest.

No virus have I.
What can be the cause?
Help me, someone.
Or I die.

Egg of Life

Egg of yesteryears,
Fave of younger years.
It's hot, but it cools.
It's a meal and it heals.
It switches you to good mode,
Even when you're on beast mode.
Your mood turns true
Even when you're blue.
An eggless life is woe
Tastes even better than roe.
"Balut" is the name
Worthy in the Hall of Fame.

Flipping Switches

On sight. On smell.
My body betrays me 
Every hidden switch flicked
Every pulse and button jammed
What is this bag of bones for,  if not to run and run and run from you
Even if I want you gone
out of here tonight
Eyes lock, screws turn
The heart weakens and the mind
rolls over 
to what the rising day holds

Seasonal Shades

Shadows drink a wall lamp.
Winter switches the porch light on.
The cat claims its space
beneath curled head and tail.
Earlier,
a kind of daylight
scratched ice into vision,
I rummaged into dark corners -
I forget what for.
Another winter dawn
could ransack or houseclean,
it all depends on how dark
corners can get.

How To Be a Millionaire: Start Out As a Billionaire

I put money in the stock market, knives were cut sharply diapers remained unchanged and paper was stationery toilet paper touched a new bottom, switches were off feathers were down. the pigs are feeding at the trough

Show of Power

dog wags its tail and smiles
elephant shakes its ears
rat shakes its whiskers
lion waves its claws
tree shakes its branches
man clenches his fists
snake switches its fangs
soldier shakes his gun
flood breaks and rolls rocks
Who of these is powerful
enough to make the sun
to rise from West tomorrow
and set in the East each day?

Politician

People rising up against their brother 
Only out for themselves, no other 
Lavishing themselves with riches 
Inspiring people with truth switches 
Tasting human blood along the way 
Incites politicians for more prey 
Celebrating the unnecessary strife 
Instilled upon every human life 
All the unrest will soon be gone 
Now is the time we must move on.

Captain Kirk

Captain Kirk had lots of nerve
Solving all things with his verve
Until he did split
And then had a fit
He now wore a woman's curve.

Note: Inspired by the Star Trek
episode Turnabout Intruder in which  Captain Kirk's insane ex-lover Dr. Janice Lester forcibly switches bodies with him in order to take command of the Enterprise.

The Darkling Prince

Oh darksome prince,
how I bowed at your feet
you asked me for bourbon 
and nothing to eat
  I followed you close
as a pitiful pet
you gave me a pill 
thatwould make me forget
  But I must remember
with switches and whips
to punish myself
for the taste
of your lips
  your lips and your arms
oh darkling devine
imprison my soul
'til the last drop of time.

Deep Within the Crevices-

Deep within the crevices Dire valleys deepen Hearkening to the Thunder Channel Rivers spiral Voicourss thunderclouds Clapping loud Sun beams bright Focusing on it lights path Darkness Shadows await the night Moon switches places Evening tides river rides The grounds follows Deep within the crevices
