Unite unrelentingly ulcerates
Unleashing unspeakable ugly urge...

Vegetable Peelers

There should be schools, colleges, and 
universities for 
vegetable peelers who can 
read and 
write well.

A constant murmur,
with bickering voices
and occasional shriek of glee.
All when I'm trying to revise,
down in the library.

Listen to poem:

from the cauldron of universities
budding philosophers
burgeoning idealists
determined to fix the world
of all its malice and corruption

Trashcans of intellectual waste
Crushers of recycled ‘truth’
Warehouses of stored lies
Slaughterhouses of unspoken dreams
Hiding behind Ivy walls 
Covered with malicious intent

The tragedy within the new
  school of ‘thought’ ….

To know ‘about’ everything
  —while knowing naught

Where universities foster
  professorial demise

Poisoning the young
  —with their fantasy and lies

(Villanova Pennsylvania: May, 2016)...

Training the enemy within,
  universities soldier on

Unchecked and unaccountable
  
They march to the beat of the 
  government drum

Tearing us apart from the inside

While Rome burns 
  —and Legionnaires die

(Villanova Pennsylvania: August, 2014)...

You went to your universities
rehearsing your autobiographies
and
we are still as different as
chalk and cheese
I suppose you'll know 
a chemical symbol 
for those,
but
I wrote the writing to spend one more night in
her arms,
she left the light on to write me a love song
and
you don't need a degree for that....

Fake diplomas granted
Fake universities,certificates printed
Without academic trace.

Agents weave tales of degrees 
Selling fake papers for lakhs

Fraudulent degrees
Learnings sacred ground defiled

A tale of Delhi's academic fraud
and elsewhere in India
A cautionary tale 
Where credentials are 
bought and sold...

We are crisp green vines looping and curling
Beautifying the dark red brick buildings
Of universities, decorating churches

Gardners revel in our natural sharpness
Adorning planters, baskets and planters
Bringing verdant green plant to life

We are the ivy brigade
Prancing our purity and freshness
In spring and summer...

Together, we hope to bring every aspect of Chicano art
to this region as well as the rest of the world.
We have something wonderful to give—Cheech Marin

Arts scene that encourages emerging
Latino artists throughout the Inland Empire
local colleges and universities will research and learn about 
the finest private collection of Chicano art in the U.S.

Once were dinners a'deux, you see,
Was it only a few months, or a century?
Once were schools abuzz with kids,
Teachers agog to see what did they did,
Once were universities, 
Alive with youthful dreams, indeed,
Once were pubs with beers,
Once were football here,
These are viral times, my dears,
Once were bushfires too,
A horror story for me and you,
Yes, Stephen King wrote this year,
Once were Oz fun times, not fears!...

Classes on tranny and queer diversity
    universities reek of perversity

  Discrimination abounds all around
    save if your skin's black or brown

  Tuition hikes obscene, naked robbery
    flaunt luxury dorms and diners, effete snobbery

  Not a smidgen on learning or teaching in glittering reports
    just facilities upgrades, data analytics in sports

  Grade inflation boosts illiteracy ever higher
    agree or disagree ~ at least I'm no liar...

Imagine being female
In a Taliban regime,
Where equal rights do not exist,
Except when women dream.

Shariah law has taken hold,
With floggings taking place
For girls or women who have dared
To show the world their face.

Schools and universities 
Say females can’t attend 
And there’s no indication that
These rules will ever end.

In life, our path’s determined
Partly by the place we’re born.
For women in Afghanistan,
Their chances we must mourn....

I thought you were dead
   but then I read
   your name in the alumni news.
Still hanging 'round the universities, I see,
   harvesting young women 
   whose fathers had opinions.
As for me,
   I don't peruse the papers any more; 
   factorial rotations are the kind of
   game you liked to play.
I pull the weeds, I sweep
   the path and climb the stairs. 
   I tie back long vines
   of ridiculously red tomatoes.
And you're not dead?
   Why that's okay; me too....

Crazy World

It’s funny how
The universities are still in business
Of producing graduates
That speak funny English
And hardly make invention
And the stock market falls
Down street tumbles
That lets people buy
And make profit
Like grandpa used to say,
True intellectualism died
In the year 1929
With the rise in acumen inflation
It was then that
This Federal Reserve of Ignorance
The true villain of this quandary
Traces its genesis
Hope that explains succinct
This universal impotence...

Snake compliments the sliding dirt
Slithers the circumference of the Earth
Property of Satan for what it's worth
Young Socialists anesthetized from birth
Don't believe in the evil one
Kept numb for their own protection
Dumb-ed down by universities
Thinking is the enemy, a sin to Satan
Don't worry about tomorrow
A certain organ will do everything for you
Money is no object but women are
Members are meant to be impaled
Eventually Lucifer must be satisfied
Where men have failed...
