I just can't write
Too uptight
Inspiration's not there
Nothing to share
My mind's a blank
No gas in the tank
To sit here and write
Doesn't feel right
I should be out doing
Or at least pursuing
A productive activity
Not self-absorptive passivity
What kind of man
Sticks his head in the sand
Perfecting 'rhyme-ability'
Dodging Responsibility
The world needs help
Not a poet's yelp
These here lines, the best proof
~ This is but a hypocritical spoof

Not everyone starts a small business,
But 'Yelp's' it these days and there's only one way
One can advertise friend, but abuse is 'Yelp's' end-
Game, consumers too trapped in this fray!
The problem is 'Yelp's' business model,
No doubt their computer reviews all reviews,
And they claim algorithms can filter fake praise,
But 'Yelp' lies through its teeth, pure "Fake News!"
These days the elite hate consumers,
A customer's sheep rich buy license to kill!
For a genius can't sort out real praise from just noise,
Slay our dragons or die, seems God's will!
Is class action suit our last recourse?
For rich drown in money and lawyers are dear.
The Republicans tax all but give rich a break!
'Yelp' too's eating its future that's clear!
Let's bankrupt these criminal players,
Imprison all traitors, in government too,
And bring oversight back to keep business in check,
Bring God's Grace to His servants though few!

The Dentist some call Dr. Frown
Tried to strangle me with a gown
Then plucked out a molar
My plexus went solar
And he laughed, "Guess what? I'm a clown!"

Yelp yelp I need help!
Where do I go?
Who do I turn to!
Yelp yelp I need help!
Why me though?
Who do I yearn too?
Yelp yelp I need help!
How do I go about it?
Why is it good to learn?
Yelp yelp I need help!
Can you hear me?
Do you feel thee?
I guess not?
My self assistance, is that all
got?
Yelp yelp its my only help!

A titanic yelp sweeps through the airs of the universe
And halts at the gates of paradise;
It burns it before the thrones of grace
And wafts its incense across the omnipotent nostrils,
A dutiful retinue of an angelic jury;
And waits for a celestial verdict.
The gigantic hammer sparkling justice,
Falls upon mean mortals huddled in a lavish spot,
Invisible from the seats of glory!
