A pirate’s pile of untouched treasure,
that’s said to belong to One-eyed Willy.
It’s never been found, no not ever.
The map shows we have to be clever,
don’t you realize what you could see?
A pirate’s pile of untouched treasure.
Family ties we must briefly sever
in order to truly become a Goonie.
It’s never been found, no not ever.
For social disease this is the cure,
the way to avoid a catastrophe.
A pirate’s pile of untouched treasure.
Here and now matters later is over,
our chance gone as swift as the sea.
It’s never been found, no not ever.
This mad idea may make you shiver,
don’t you realize it’s meant to be?!
A pirate’s pile of untouched treasure.
It’s never been found, no not ever.
Cool: Social disease out breaks here and there,
Is the bug ceremony day not at all postponed?.
Stem the flow of your bleeding heart
Climb down off your pedestal please
Mind your own business for a change
Find a cure for your social disease
Life's too short for such petty games
There's more important things to do
Look at yourself in the mirror
You should point your finger at you
Life Alone in One Skin?
It’s a struggle for some, life alone in one skin,
(that confuses the best!) What’s it mean then to win
if a victory’s rote, like a verse memorized
with an audience pared down (to one authorized)?
To give ‘Clap’ to oneself rings of social disease.
Can the right warm left hand of life swinging in trees
or a rhyme sound as sweet that lacks musical heat?
Hear my song of four eyes, two that watch while I drink.
Two that work while I’m ill, that show grace when I think!
Two that flow with life’s seasons, resisting pain’s plight!
Who can blame me (my hope is, I sweeten their night)?
So as rhyme that might miss (as a chord less than true),
may love find, in God’s will, love less distant from you.
And life’s chocolate, flavored (at best) bittersweet!
Krakatoa Kritic #007
February 14, 2022
Her name was Nola
From Hispaniola
She liked to get her fix
On Coca-Cola
She liked to coochy-coo
With everyone she knew
But when she blew her nose
Then all her friends withdrew
At Corona
Corona virus
It's the hottest spot
North of your sinus
At Corona
We fell pell-mell
Ah ah ah
Don't feel so well
Ah ah ah, ah ah
His name was Lu Gan
He came from Wuhan
He liked to dance all night
As much as you, man
He liked to socialize
With all the girls and guys
But since he caught the bug
His mouth is catching flies
At Corona
Corona virus...
Her name was Betty
She was a free spouse
She liked to play all day
In someone's tree house
But she could not survive
When you turn sixty-five
You run a higher risk
That you won't leave alive
At Corona
Corona virus...
Her name was Miley
A human virus
I guess that's why she clogs
The human sinus
But when she caught the flu
She spread her germs on you
A way to make you sick
And make you angry too
At Corona
Corona virus
It's the hottest spot
North of your sinus
At Corona
We fell pell-mell
Ah ah ah
Don't feel so well
Ah ah ah
BUT YOU CAN'T TELL
Ah ah ah, Ah ah!
If only hate was a virus;
we could immune
ourselves with love
that is pure.
Pity,
it’s a social disease—
susceptible to treatment
but impervious to cure.
Imagine a life of ceaseless tranquility
In a chaotic world filled with hatred and sin
Your conscience free from uncertainty
Through the wisdom you comprehend
Imagine a life lived in perfection
Amidst unsavory elements and social disease
Your heart will continually find rejection
From deception which others choose to believe
Imagine life's greatest achievement
With all the adversity one must overcome
Your psyche will discover lasting fulfillment
After all is said and done
Through devotion to values of righteous living
And striving diligently to achieve your goals
You will feel exuberance forever flowing
Through every cell which inhabits your soul
The body divided
In undeclared war
Where personal image
Supplants what life’s for
A truth that’s misleading
But not quite a lie
Controlling direction
Avoid the word “Why”
Lofty high ladders
That lead to “Success”
Propped on the family
A terrible stress
A silent decision
I’m better than you
Truth falls by the wayside
It won’t always do
Can a people divided
Survive such malaise
What is in truth
A “Social Disease”
The cancer cares not
For the patient’s demise
Selfish to the end
The cancer too dies
He's on Her, Like The Serpent,
Beginning A Social-Disease,
Uncontrolled, Speaking VooDoo,
Dolls Talk, Forcefully Desired,
Now Emerges, Into Flow, As Their,
Blood Creases, Under Skin, Sharply
Sticked Needles, Through Out,
A Burning Fire, Between them,
Where Their Bodies, Serve, Hunger
On A Platter, Sacrificed, As They Gore,
Eyes For Each-other, And The Rainbow,
Shines It's Everlasting Light, Among,
The Nightly Golden Moon, GODESS sky....
(This poem is not directed at innocent spouses)
Chlamydia
Chlamydia, Chlamydia,
How do we get rid of ya.?
Take up painting,
Stay at home.
Learn to play the saxophone.
Raise Chihuahuas.
Learn cabinetry.
Take ballet lessons,
Make furniture for the family.
Write a novel,
Even if it stinks,
Don’t drown yourself in alcoholic drinks.
Write a poem
Raise a horse.
Cleaning up the stable,
Will keep you on course.
Stop feeling sorry,
For yourself,
Chlamydia feeds
On the dissatisfied elf..
Take up philoso-phy,
Learning to think
Helps keep your mind free.
Don’t become a societal leach,
Look at the ocean.
Go and lay down on the beach.
Enjoy the essence of your town,
The people, the smells, and the sounds.
Notice things you never noticed before.
(That will keep you off the floor.)
Get a cat or a dog,
It will even be good if you tended a frog.
Make it not always, “me, me,me”
Build a playhouse in a tree
Do good for the helpless,
Young and elder-ly.
Social disease is for people who have no good aims.,
And play too many selfish games.
Most of all,
Go pray in Church.
The Creator will never,
Leave you in the lurch.
Barricade
The reason I build this impregnable wall not for comfort or safety
I’m just sick of it all
The lies so transparent tears all planned and staged
Turns this man of joy and benevolence into a caldron of rage
My thoughts you effect with such disregard spinning webs of lies
Like a spider with ease
At one time I saw you as so much more
But in truth you’re a social disease
Not caring who you hurt as you sate your worldly desire
Pushing buttons at random, silly girl you’re playing with fire
These words I write are merely a warning; it’s your choice to heed
And some good advice take
This barricade I’m now imposing, you may call it a wall,
But it’s simply for your sake
I've been set aside
As if I should hide
I'm the social outcast
Let's see how long this lasts
I walk down the street
So may people to meet
But I see none to talk
So I guess I'll just walk
Saturday night rolls around
And I leave to go down town
So many parties to go to
But my social status is to low
I've been set aside
As if I should hide
I' the social outcast
Let's see how long this last
First day of a new school year
And it's all just as I feared
The preps and jocks over run us
Not like anyone cares if I make a fuss
They just need to wait
And I'll keep an eye on their fate
The looks and muscles will soon fade
Oh, won't that be a sad day
I've been set aside
As if I should hide
I'm the social outcast
Let's see how long that last
Fifteen yeas have past
I have climb the latter of success
That fast food joint your working at
yeah it's true, I own that
I'm not the social disease
I realize as you beg on your knees
You have five kids to feed
I can't imagine the help you need
