Oh, overseer of precious population
waterkeeper
'tis
wastewater
&debauchery
Mentor of well being
&human aid
our youth dying,
away with immunization
prominent denier
medicus defiance,
aegrotus, the child,
mentor what is your alliance?
even when he’s cut to pieces,
a true warrior is one who fights for a cause
he never abandons the battlefield
when injustice becomes law
resistance becomes duty
a true leader leads with strength
& compassion
this one hides & denies, lies
his soul they buy
ruling with his ancient alibies
how can you protect us
with helminths of your own,
our fate in your hands
what is this that commands?
conveyor of danger
binger of skepticism
& lost cause
begone, bygone
you are not,
food for thought
wasting well water wishes
while in wastewater wading
waiting waist-high wailing
weeping, wailing—
what a waste!
wasting well water wishes
while we're waxing waning
waning waxing waging
waging, wasting—
wherewithal!
wanting well water wishes
while whole world wishing
wasting wishing wanting
wanting wishing—
whole wide world!
welcome well water wishes
while we're wakeful watching
wakeful watchmen warning
warning watching—
wonderful!
whew!!

A reminder of sins,
Jerky de-firiye,
Come, come Islam.
Look, it's running out!
Life balance.
Poetry,
A heartbreaker.
It is not our goal,
Never rhyme.
No more levels?
Pros or cons?
Every second.
Wake up, brothers!
What's with this blunder?
They call it a gift.
Why the credit name?
Forget the interest,
Defeat your conscience
And forbidden halal
So you can lose.
Look!
That miserable invitation.
Love word
Blankets,
That called adultery.
What kind of spirit is this?
It's like a century of ignorance,
Invitation to sins,
Then call Hell,
A great bonus!
We gave them rejection,
Thank you tricksters,
Every disqualification.
Lord!
Give it to my students!
A great choice.
Damn!
Every tomb that comes to restraint.
Wastewater,
Granted condolences.
Birdman Father Yunus Kokan
California is Drying
California is drying up they say
this drought
only needs another year before
California
is a sun dried tomato
California
is cracked clay of a dry river bed
California
is like the white salty residue my sweat leaves
when i am dehydrated
riding my bike
through the soul sucking heat
California has 1 year of water left
and people still stand in the heat
and wastewater
on their greedy green grass lawns
you cannot eat grass
California known for farming
citrus fruits and
endless fields of grapes for wine
avocados and almonds
hydroponic pot plants and hops for craft beer
If you drive through
Central Californian farms
All the trees are dead
all the people are gone
all the dust is kicked up
all of the lush farmland
is now a desert
and our government sucks us dry
and we suck once fertile California dry
the once proud Golden State
falls apart in my hands like a petrified fossil.
