Short Uncivil Poems

I am bored to my Core,
Centered-self, uncivil war
An open mind hath closed its doors-
Soul is sick with selfish sores
How I've tried to fill these holes-
Traipsing through the biting cold
Dead ends ahead, where Vice has lead-
Goddamn! I've put my life on hold......

Stargazer, Hatchnet, Fangtooth
Fish sticks
Little acts of indiscrete gluttony
Mankind is special
Given a globe of elemental genius
Moulded
An uncivil pile of clay
Intended for the king’s plate
Made into a steel girdle
Creaking and cracking to hold his girth

It was a still day on the plains.
Then all of a sudden the rains
came followed by hot sunshine
we sat and slowly sipped wine

Then the wind blew dust devils
that caused lots of grave perils
up rooting trees along the plains
and blowing hats down the levels. 

That dust devil was so uncivil
as it left behind a load of drivel...

When singing a splendid solo
in a public place
becomes a political act,

When dancing a diva duet
in your Mama's political space
becomes a barely tolerable act
for economic and politically powerful co-developers,

Then opportunities for communion
have devolved into too uncivil communities
for cooperative eco-social resilience....

Abraham Lincoln was America's Unexpected Jesus
Booth spilled this stream of blood along the Mason-Dixon line
Calls for forgiveness and reunion since the Gettysburg Address
Did bring out the better angels of our natures in 1865
Eventually celebrated in Memorial Day since 1866
Few nations in civil wars or uncivil, have a Lincoln or Jesus...

Draft an Article a den of soul slackers
No room for sanity humanity elected crackers
Uncivil ones to fail the civic duty pledged
Ride a rift split society - drive a wedge

Trail Trump slumping stumps winded carpetbaggers
Talking heads robbing hoods all cloak and daggers
Riding herd wicked turn charging alibi
Stuck off bicker batter were all gonna die...

A new light is hoping to break free. Free from clouds
Marred in lies grey, an anger hovering. A golden ray
Enveloping and inviting, welcoming and warm
Rather than a darkness divisive and cold, separate and 
Ignorant of constitutional rights and wrongs. Here to brighten a
Country made unclean by an uncivil war – a chance to
Atone for the sins of the father. To protect those unheard, unseen....

I know you have ears,
Listen before you end up in tears,
Hatred is cancerous,
Segregation is dangerous.

No need to murder a brother,
Born by a mother,
We all belong to tribes,
We can live in unity and thrive.

Tribalism promotes nepotism,
It fosters Satanism,
Again, favoritism is evil,
A monster making us uncivil.

Our skin is black,
Africans don’t move back,
Let love lead,
This I plead....

Rats and cockroaches
have moved to the country.

The city is overrun with unsanitary humans,
it needs a clean cloth to thrive upon,
not the dishcloth grime
of much degraded minds.

It is a disgrace, a black mark
upon an already uncivil civilization,
however, the rats and cockroaches
are vacationing and will not return
to the metropolis

until the trash in the streets
is sanitized of mankind's
indifference and lack of interest....

One million years ago
Before everything we know
Was "this" even here
On the galactic frontier?

For some there's no debate
There was some extant state
For some there's no dispute
God's mouth still lay mute

Such a frothy matter
With such uncivil chatter
And a million years from today
Will we have seen doomsday?

What of this present moment
And all its' many components?
Is this the nexus of it all?
End of the aesthete and Neanderthal?...

I find it bemusing;
The sentiments some are choosing;
The language they are using;

When communicating their dissatisfaction,
With opposing political factions,
Whose personal appeal they find lacking.

So, I ask this my friends!
Examine what you say and pen.

Would you like this said of you?
Does it matter YOU believe it’s due?
Others may think you’re the back end of a mule.
I guess the question we all might use;
Does it fulfill the Golden Rule?...

Looking back on those tumultuous summers
from nineteen sixty-five through sixty-eight:
   Recalling
   Harlem and Newark
   Detroit and Chicago
   Watts and even LA--
Young folks have asked me, Could JFK have saved the day?

Here is my answer
Don't know if it's right
After all I'm an outsider, I'm white

Yet it seems to me... 
LBJ's civil rights legislation
somehow, one way or another
failed miserably in its implementation
  ~ igniting 'uncivil riots' conflagrations....
