I will be most blessed to be long frozen
If Trump comes back to the White House
Thoughtless Americans will have chosen.
When I die, I’ll be quickly flash-frozen
Escaping another term for that louse
I will be most blessed to be long frozen!
Can statesmen please put their toes in?
If Trump squeaks through like a mouse
Thoughtless Americans will have chosen.
I fear the disaster of America’s erosion
I can’t imagine more years of his spouse
I will be most blessed to be long frozen.
Consider four more years, just supposin’
More whining, more narcissistic joust
Thoughtless Americans will have chosen.
Can any administration take more exposin’?
More high-placed bureaucrats to be roust
I will be most blessed to be long frozen.
Thoughtless Americans will have chosen!

Put away your thoughtless mouth
And remove your foot from the same.
For words in a rush have a bitter taste
When you ponder and you’re to blame
You are awakened to a shining light
That glows into a flawless day
You ponder each step your feet will take
But the mouth can get in the way
The tongue, when speaking the truth
Is a home for understanding the heart
But facts of the counsel will falter
from naughty lips that part
So let your eye lids point straight ahead
Let the nose search out the narrow way Bid the mouth to keep the tongue in check
For you never know what the lips will say
I am saddened by those who must lash out,
As though I am some kind of a thoughtless lout
Who writes to upset others who will read me,
I write only to set my innermost thoughts free.
Do not think, dear reader, that I had you in mind
Writing a critical poem, really, rather hard to find,
It was my own conscience I was trying to clear,
And, certainly not my intention to hurt you, dear.
So, lighten up and take a few lingering sighs,
Take out a mirror, and look yourself in your eyes
And, if you see a message there resonating,
Then it is within yourself the thing you are hating.

You have left me without leaving,
Your presence here beyond deceiving.
We share a space where you are not,
You’ve gone on to I know not what.
Desertion was not your plan at all,
But your mind, by a siren call,
Loosed our forever knot,
And left me looking where you’re not
For the love and life we shared,
Shattered now with no hope spared.
I am not good at thinking
So I sit still, eyes blinking
Wondering what to write down
Share joys or in sorrows drown
With glasses of tears clinking
And my heart goes beep beep beep
Towards nothingness I creep
Devoid of desires and dreams
In the land of bubbling streams
Now I lay me down to sleep

Thoughtless rhymes
In thoughtless times
I break my heart for crimes
In thoughtless times
I sewed the fractured sky
In thoughtless times
As the moon bled I pleaded and asked why
In thoughtless times
My pain echoes down my spine
In thoughtless times
But if you ask I'm doing fine
In thoughtless times
I seek bread on the table
In thoughtless times
My happiness is just a fable
In thoughtless times
They attached to my mouth a label
In thoughtless times
Hoping to keep my mind stable
In thoughtless times
I've seen gods disappear
In thoughtless times
Penetrating deep is this fear
In thoughtless times
Everyone's leaving me all alone
In thoughtless times
All alone these voices carry no tone
In thoughtless times
I'd do anything to feel again
In thoughtless times
Because apathy is worse than pain
In thoughtless times
I'm the stranger you pass
In thoughtless times
Made of stained glass
In thoughtless times
Life ends in thoughtless rhymes
She doesn't appreciate anything I am
She's only serves a sacrifice
And never understands my needs
for ignorance never meant as nice
When all I'm ever meant for her
is lack of time more known
As all she ever dressed in me
is how I'm sent to own
Thoughtless Man dances
On planet's suffering ground
Vengeful doomsday laughs! *

* Extreme weather phenomena take place at an ever-increasing rate
around the world which indicate climate change but we continue our
destructive way of life as though nothing happens!
There are some that say that the heart walks around all paths.
That the heart is hollow.
That a man can no long have his say.
That the mind is follow.
Those people, that don’t give a ****
Do they never wipe their ass
Must be waiting till it dries
In hopes, the stink will pass

Thoughtless Day
I was looking out of the window
The view was a road and an opposite wall
And I decided to think of nothing
Emptying my brain for all the rubbish and
Lies I had read today and let it sink into the silt
Of the forgotten yet is silt that one day can be
made of mud and do a lasting service
for mankind, and since the settlers keep bulldozing
Palestinian dwellings, no, no I will not think of
This and why should I since I`m not thinking
Like the rest of the world.
Man, it is difficult not to think about love and death
And all the things in between so I look at the white wall
It is five years it was painted, but it still looks new.
No, this is too hard I will go and make a coffee eat
A biscuit and think the freezer need to be defrosted
Mike learned it was hard work to think
in some cases it turned folk to drink.
At almost all times
he got by on crimes.
But ended up the client of a shrink.
Chasing dreams
By any means
Wanting more
But what for?
Lying on the floor
Such a bore
I count to seven
Reaching heaven
Eating Swedish fish
Feeling selfish
Searching for excitement
Some enlightenment
Swimming endlessly
Through life mindlessly
Running after a thought
Not yet caught.
Got nothing in my brain
To write another poem
So I kept on thinking
Wrote my favorite song
It has been hours
Just rolled myself
Still have no thought
Makes me feel sick
So this is the stanza
I’m not so sure
Just laughing around
I am tortured
I just realized
I made a short poem
Out of this boredom
I made this bored poem
thoughtless inaction
seaside sickness spreads in waves
tsunami lays bare
taste wild strawberry
high mountain meadow sunset
thoughtless inaction
