Music of Wisdom

In another place in time, he stood aware A violin of broken strings, his hair in silence flowed Best of all, he still had hope Knowing even silence was a product of great value... Now surge forth the music of wisdom From the aged who have a way to know Observing in youth a greater folly Designed enigma to perpetuate a greater tale Ah, the warming of the heart is slow… See it all like every moment new Just passing by, the movie you Greater than any theater would dare Hairline fading starts enlightenment pervading

Brake

Willows wheeze while traders weep A head for softer shoulders grasped Spread another bid too deep On margin calling crumpled dreams collapsed Umbrellas saved the follicles While frozen feet alarmed by sudden cold Observe the blaze advanced to diabolical All paper perished, all future visions sold Jackals trace the wall of worry Dining on the furtive few Until at last the feast of falling flurry All pensioners resolve eschewed

ToGetHer

She was a work of art; a time machine of sorts. A collaboration requiring the most careful focus on details by a cast of characters unseen. A symphony of one hundred hours, pulled from forms of molten fire. Until she stood, the gently formed and polished image, as unique as the many hands who assembled her. Wired to the present reality, electricity brings to life a servant of the highest order. And he truly loved her much more deeply than he dared try express.

Engineered

Why you wash my summer gone Weather wicked warlock spins Reap the whirlwind Master Nothing Summer cancelled fall begins Mother’s needs not your concern Only selfish motive flies Freezing while another burns Endless damage mortifies Play with toys no man should own Manna tropospheric poison Seeding her destruction sown Manipulator of my season Fred Jagenberg – June 21, 2019

Cashless

Clean down to the bottom bill Smashing gobsmacked cashless Simply crass wealthy wanting more The silent till awaits the masses Pouncing plastic rapist rapture Stripped!! The global bankers dream! Control the dough by feckless reign A reckless chain to pitchforks once again

Nugget

Jumbled jewels all glisten Ready for a stint imprisoned Stuck in setting glory losing Witness to debauchery and boozing Bound in filth a nugget found Pasture yields a bounty fast Cut and polished set for sale No justice, lost from purity The innocence of one destroyed Full dishonor breeds contempt All for glaring wicked posture Marked for life, no one exempt Folly fires to polarize Collared painful revelry No return to sanitize Bedecked the dead in jewelry

Another Brother

Say so sadness must reveal Who saw a brother falling fast? The depth of loss for all so real Mind departure liquor blast The finest glider in the air One glitch devolve to nullify Fine life of labor flying fair Shards remain of years gone by All bottle-torn disheveled worn One perfect flight crash-landed Slim hope for greener pasture born Locked out a mind descended

Dictum of Insanity

On par to manage joyful course Approach to live without remorse While dictums of insanity Are grinding spars impaling me Perchance to light upon derail The most melodic harmony The rest express to no avail Irrelevant profanity Experience of life prevails Experience no sailing smooth Pause to enjoy a hilltop fair The valley comes, despair resumes

Spandex

Spandex thighs Spiralized my eyes Hyper flex her wonders Set my helix spinning Genetic refrain DNA slain phonetic Double down Maxwell magnetic Electric blues make life too hectic Two alarm scribe Workout overtime perfection Repetition fired sugar glider Run your ladder up beside her

Drag Racing

Split fire those dragons men will tame To ride the rails to make a name To risk it all to feel the Force No man alive will ride such horse Yet in they jump and tremble fearless These brave more guts than any - peerless One thousand feet of roaring metal A score for all to see and settle
