Short Unsavory Poems

Unsavory character;
  Hasn’t decayed.
Worms wouldn’t touch him:
  Below food grade....

life gets unsavory
i drown out the darkness

Poor, addled Colin Kapernick
Once a coveted NFL draft pick

   Made $43 million in pro football, yet finds it all unsavory
   Victimized! ~ Accuses team owners of slavery...

Stop changing…
And you will come to
A most unsavory
Form of death

Neither here 
Nor beyond
Your spirit trampled
  —by a thundering heard

(Villanova Pennsylvania: August, 2018)...

Everything boils down 
To chaotic nonsense, or
So it is written.

Einstein and Bohr tangoed
On tiptoes over 
Unsavory uncertainty 
“Why would God play dice?!”

Buddha already knew
Though, he 
Looked on laughing 
“When you are done, 
Come and find me”...

In a parking lot were
Many Gulls, a few Crows -
Picking at scraps of food left
For them - not healthy choices by
Any means.

A Gull hovering over a Crow -
Watching - waiting - then dropping
Straight down in front of the unwary
Crow - snatching the unsavory scrap
For its very own....

Listen to poem:

Who are these peers to whom
I'm supposed to belong to?
Certainly not my soul mates, nor kin.
I fear they're lackey leerers,
peering and sneering,
in unsavory ways.
Smearing my reputation
by claiming I'm in their
in-crowd, all endearing
and revering when I'm not.
I'm a mutineer from 
the peer besmear,
So let's be clear about that!...

Administer the tantalizing touch…
Tangle me with invigorating taste…
Calm my restless body with embedded grip
Elevate my inner being with measure
For you are my love, my treasure
Kiss me with your salutations of the night
My daring, my knight  
Leave an ingenious memory in me forever 
Flood my delirious mind with a cool whisper 
Go if you must
But never may you give me unsavory passion...

Celebrate,
celebrate having known her,
her shallow depth and deep cold-heartedness
the seriousness that was ever there,
the facade, the pump and pain.
Celebrate the knowledge you are privileged to share,
with your family and friends, knowledge through unsavory remembrance.
Justice is but a walking shadow,
always whispering high tide, fresh bread.
And I have to yell back, no pennies, Prima Donna!...

I don't fight for the rules. Fools fight
For the right to use tools. Cool nights
Might cause fright for ghouls. Jewel light
Gives us reason for fuels. Cruel sprites
Shed light on shimmering pools.

I do fight for the roles. Politicians pursue
Unsavory goals. Technicians knew
They sold their souls. Conditions grew
Unfavorably for polls. Admissions accrue
Unsavory agency for tolls. 

Shattered dreams
In the souls of dead purists
Rest in peace

I place a great deal of importance on morality
and never will I perceive it as a mere triviality
It is a fine quality I seek when choosing a friend
A virtuous trait, one should never condescend

Those relishing debauchery, I consider unsavory
Surrendering their honor will surely lead to slavery
A bondage that breaks the ethical code of respect
Their sense of morality is in a state of gross neglect

You have tried everthing,
Everything you have tried have failed
STOP AND THINK
Something is wrong somewhere.

You give in your best
Yet, it's never good enough
TAKE A BREAK
Give it a thought.

Despite your unsavory efforts,
Your reward is always meagre
THINGS OUGHT TO GET BETTER
Only after you undo your wrongs.

Search yourself, search your heart
Search your soul, and you will see
THAT GOD IS MISSING
Without him, you like shoes without laces...


TRY HIM, HE NEVER FAILS....
