uncivilized mobs
political berserkers
Liberty sheds tears...

The devil isn't a gangster or uncivilized, his sophisticated and smart.
 He will sell you freedom with chains....

All bombs cause destruction exemplifying 
fanatic ghastly heartless infamous
jar, kindling loathe, machination nefarious 
operations pitilessly quashing
rabid sanguineous tyranny, uncivilized violence, 
warlike xenophobia, yielding zilch!...

freedom is a loose word-
loose like the whores
with sicknesses never
cured- loose like the
reins i'm holding across
this ass's throat.
so much snot from this
uncivilized nostril
build a moat each time
a treat is bought, get
across, in time,
before thought interrupts,
mutates impulse into 
crime....

Americans today are quite polarized
  All we do is complain and criticize
The rhetoric ramping ever upward, uncivilized
  The ranting and the raving has us desensitized

We sorely need something to mobilize us
  An event to overwhelm and mesmerize us
E.T., please come back to Earth and hypnotize us
  Leave us not to our own devices......

SNAKE OIL SUNRISE

coiled lies an oily snake
circling the rim of the cup
eschewing the softness of milk
the sweetness of sugar.
A black hole – waiting – beckoning
the bleary-eyed robot
leaving a scent trail
harsh, uncivilized,
unadulterated,
psyche popping
caffeine.

Descend, delicate rain of doom.
Spatter quietly in insistent breeze.
Break, gold and red,
as branches sneeze.
Burn a stack of saddened leaves.

Agitate limbs to nakedness.
You are my fall.
I am your slave until
winter’s uncivilized brawl
wipes life away.

It’s still October.
The glorious hiatus
warms me and then
will rapidly be gone;
a tale re-told.

Mama Africa

All they say is you are uncivilized, using policies to publicly undress you
From Lesotho to Libya, Mali to Malawi, Zambia and Zimbawe
Raping justice and reaping where and what they sowed not!
I cry when they call you "dark"
Coz you are so bright, your sons and daughters beaming with strength
Africa, I call you MAMA, for your breasts are full enough for all your children to suckle!...

Ugly Face

The law,
says leave no trace, 

but the eyes. 
a hateful rag, 
that smells;
of unclean things,
of sour food, 
and drink, 
of his taste, 
and his smell, 
when he is…
done.

Cover yourself.
cover everything…
about you.
repulsion, 
resounds in the image, 
of reflection, 
uncivilized.

Cutting parts away, 
unneeded items,
lust not love, 
slavery.

What
do you
feel?

Do 
you
feel?...

The should

Be recognized

Teacher of young minds

She taught me poetry

With

Loads and lots

Of uncivilized minds

She the Mrs.

Awakening

Of my new

Beginnings

Too

Under appreciated

But not by me

Too overly concerned

About her students

Cares

Too overwhelmed

About what she has prepared

A teacher

To look back on

With a nod and a smile

she is the best

teacher I have ever had

Mrs. Emily Weathers...

Civilized is just a word which is so loosely used.
We don’t understand today how badly it’s abused,
for we don’t think our time does match history being cruel,
we see today’s dictators - uncivilized the way they rule.

Today the world is watching each movement that they make,
and cameras never lie with opposition lives at stake,
but civilized is just a word for the time our lives compete, 
and will only have true meaning - when politics is obsolete....

Atlanta! Atlanta!

People laid out in the street,
dying, diseased, and broken,
poets in old Atlanta
found few words betoken
what none would read out loud.

Scattered in blood soaked streets,
torn body parts and brains,
human devastation,
none like nature's wrath rains,
what none should see unshroud.

Bodies hung in the streets,
smeared with mud and blood,
uncivilized civil war,
more grim than Billy Budd,
what none could sing too proud....

Man, you know, started his life
As a barbaric with strife
Living in the jungles
And killing other creatures
But slowly 
He turned to be
A so called civilized person
But what for his stream of blood
That have come from the
Same uncivilized character
That he could not fully
Keep himself away from the barbarism
Which causes
All the fights, crimes
Whether acute or prime
Wars and struggles
And with this severe picture
He will destroy his own future
Can this barbarism
He leave ever...

Said the old widow cook
to the drag queen son
feeding his/her dying abusive dad,
while offering her nurturing donation:

"I don't want your money.
We're not savages, yet."

Other words
that might have come to
desecrating mind:
not for sale, yet
not that victimized
not that wounded
not that uncivilized
not that poor
not that disenfranchised
not that disempowered
not that unenlightened
not that devastated
not that resourceless
not that dispassionate
not that judgmental...
