   Assaulted by waves of profanity
     high tides of depravity

   Bestrewn, shards of urbanity
     ~ flotsam of humanity...

You cannot hold Winter
Children weep for acorns
and their plummets of blackcurrants
They have lost their Midas Touch
Urban foraging is bygone pride...

Manicured blown dry trimly edged attempt at normal urbanity
Routinely and greenly masking ennui insanity
As trees laugh together eyeing my new rake
I think about snow...

Brutality is Reality
Making your life a Fatality
Morality determines Mentality
Unrelenting Insanity
Vitality is a drive from Urbanity
Inanity perpetuates Profanity
Mundanity a fake posh Formality
Humanity is Volcanity...

Death valley lies in heart
Lifeless rivers claims urbanity, everywhere 
Tired clouds, touch less, in the far 
A sky touchy way meets another, 
Peahens' beds sound shocked written slogan!

Dark words take a secret glance
Shakuny's eyes make my life a strange goal  
I, omnipresent god of shadow go nowhere
Think my shadowy face dearest one....

Only after 
We rehearse insanity
The brutality that man found profanity
A man volcanity
Fatality in urbanity 
Medication mentality 
Humanity has inanity wrapped around trees
Posts of light
Cipher reality 
Reveal morality
Funky vitality is rather groovy 
I cannot feel my mundanity 
You can touch it.
We here can hear we
Only after
We rehearse formality.

Emerging early morn light, sated with vitality

Encumbered after a hard day's battling mundanity, 

mentality over humanity morality 

They look for signs and trusts yet straddle shade reality

unfailing urbanity, humour, and formality 

Inanity pranks, part volcanity profanity 

 unmistakable, undeniable, brutality

insanity resulting sometimes in fatality

With Love Comes Change

Ingrained within humanity 
Lies blatant, crass profanity. 
A product of mundanity;
(That's smoldering volcanity,
With all of its inanity),
Is lacking in urbanity 
And borders on insanity!

What seems a mere formality,
Could lessen such brutality,
(Or hinder some fatality);
By changing ones mentality
Towards a new morality:
Of love inclined reality.

In cities of affluent urbanity,
why are kids so rare in the vicinity?

In backseats of their glitzy cars,
no tots there licking choco bars.
Instead they have beribboned cats
or manicured dogs wearing hats
going to sauna-spas for pets,
some to clinics of doting vets,
others to lawyers for insurance
or pet's fabulous inheritance.

You may call me an old-fashioned hillbilly,
but without kids, you just don't have family !...

Urbanity 

A beautiful morning, slightly overcast cars
on the avenue play sordini, rubber yielding to asphalt
The sun has yet to make its presence felt 
The curtain in the window stirs; the breeze and has 
a soothing hand
The building is awakening 
First flushing bathroom, then the good kitchen sound
A murmur of voices grows to a crescendo
A frisson through the flats, another day of life is promised
in the urban landscape....

God is the Lord of all humanity,
And the reason for our vitality;
When we ignore Him, there's insanity,
Volcanity, lack of morality,
Senseless brutality, profanity,
That leads mankind towards fatality;

Today, we're lacking in urbanity,
Because of no open mentality.
To trust in riches is inanity.
Believing Christ needs no formality,
He's the Way to heav'n, not mundanity,
Accept it or not, that's reality.

Once upon a midnight otherworldly
My metaphysical, I could not awaken
Eagerly I looked for the literal
Through which came thrilling, thrilling, thrilling
The absurdist seemed happy instilling
The caring caring cultivating
The haunting never contemplating
Take thy evocation from out my heart
I crave the unfathomable, unnamable unworldliness
Suddenly, I heard some disciplining
Ah, distinctly I was capacitating
'It's that urbanity,' I muttered

My ear drums vibrate not in this languid air.
The bustle of urbanity gone somewhere
Else and left me here to listen unprotected
From the cacophony always detected
Where humans gather and helplessly vibrate.
Perhaps a glimpse into our ultimate fate.
It is a surprise to hear nothing at all -
Not a bird's twitter or a ripe apple's fall,
And a pleasant one I might add with a smile -
I will return and rest my weary ears awhile.

Some shows on television contain volcanity,
especially when you hear them using a lot of profanity,
makes you wonder about the medias inanity,
and what happened to the formality and morality,
the mentality is insanity and mundanity,
especially the ones entitled reality,
meanwhile the news with all the brutality,
the morality gone with the breaking news fatality,
thank God there is still hope for fragile humanity,
most people still have urbanity and vitality.
