Varnished Tech Titans
Tattered totems tarnished
Viral tribal bible spiral
Tainted talismans taunted
Cash cows flaunted
Gerontocracy trumps democracy
Theocracy stumps hypocrisy
Autocracy dumps diplomacy
Haunted schism prism
Vaunted Fat Cats
Enigma?…just
Dogma & Stigma
Tit for Tats
Martian Martial law
Doff your hats
To techno-*wats
And petro-*rats
Deplore or Encore?
Poor Planet in flux
All about the bucks
Ersatz Fat Cats
Well More is More!

There are those who say the moon has no voice
That it hangs alone in icy silence
Mocked by the twinkling of jealous stars
A corpse illuminated by cold darkness
The Werewolves would argue in her defense
For without her they would know no passion
Feel not the surging power of the night
Wander through life’s fog strewn emptiness
No voice, does she not whisper to lovers
Ease the clumsy angst of untrained lips
Calm in silver light a fearful darkness
Allow a muffled passion’s gentle howl
Her voice the unheard song in shrouded mists
That nullifies the lies of midnight’s trysts

Butterflies dance, with each glance
Desire burns, heart yearns
Truth aching, earth shaking
Forbidden lust, tests the trust
To share that we’re a pair
Is the want that deeply haunts

Time tells
Touch thrills
Dream dwells
Fun fills
Glimpse grace
Truth trips
Sweet space
Grand grip
Joy jumps
Fine face
Spice sums
Trysts trace
Heed heart
Meet mind
Spur start
Keep kind
Charm cheers
Poise plays
Dance dear
Warm ways
