Ancients at the podium
Inspire righteous odium
Every word they speak, a lie
Theatrics for the shuttered eye
Best stock up on Immodium
The shit is sure to fly!

Pretty Kitty
Tiger crouching in the grass
Patient pose to watch prey pass
Fear not, it’s no ferocious one
This orange beauty prefers the sun.

Common Ground
Differences abound
But what cannot be found
Is a reason why we all should unite
Everyone seems to feel
Only their beliefs are real
Resulting in a nonstop ideological fight
We’ve got to find the place
Of compromise and grace
Or watch the fuse ignite.

Didn’t Age Well
Seeing that stale flame
Really left me cold
Remembering the foolish game
And how it grew old
As we did, just the same.

Collection
Want a like
So you can gage
My depth of rage?
Take a hike!
Hear that click?
Press your luck
You'll need to duck
Really quick.
Feel some fear?
It will expand
When you understand
The mob is near.

Fractured Fairy Tale
There is a crooked man
In a corrupted house
Whose wife has no plan
To save her less-than-upright spouse
He has no good defense
For stirring so much strife
I guess it’s just a consequence
Of living a crooked life.

Current Events
Once you’re immersed
The current pulls you down
Until you’re in over your head
If you stay submersed
You likely will drown
Break through for air instead.

Transcendence
Return to the source
Primordial force
Soul starts to merge
Sensations surge
Sentient stars
Perform eight bars
Harmony ignites
Phantasmal delights.

Mournful
It’s exhausting to articulate
The lethargy I feel
Bordering on insensate
Is anything even real?
Assailed by the absurdities
To which the weaker cleave
And all their foul proclivities—
For truth, I grieve.

Thinking of John
You played where you weren’t supposed to go
But you went there anyway
Until you learned about the endless show
Then played a different way
We say goodbye to you
Beneath a dying sun
So glad for what you chose to do
So sad for what you might have done
We say goodbye to you
You smile and say hello
Across the universe you flew
To where the sweetest berries grow.

Overstated
I have such ample breasts
Of chicken, eyes up here
They say a jackass jests
Well, so it would appear.

In the Moment
A gibbous moon is waxing
O'er the Lightning Bug Ballet,
It’s tranquil and relaxing
As they flit and flash away.
With solstice quickly nearing
What will the summer bring?
I shrug, and just keep leering,
Enraptured by the spring.

(S)mothering
We gave them every comfort
So they could grow to be
The most annoying bastards
The world will ever see
The griping and the whining
And the me me me me me
Are even worse when tempered by
Their skewed morality.
Future mothers, consider this
A drastic call to arms,
Teach discipline or you will find
How much indulgence harms.

Greener 🤢
Is there anything worse
Than celery that’s flaccid?
How about a vegan
All pasty and placid
That comes to a dinner
With a big covered dish
Of fricaseed crickets
Don’t that sound delish?

Untimely
If you could do it
Would you?
If it would kill you
Could you?
Can you embrace
Exemption
To salvage another’s
Redemption?
If only I knew
The magic
I'd save her from
The tragic
Without a single
Exception
Even if she had to miss
Conception.

Numbers
The way thieves work the digits makes them think
They can do whatever they want to do
But it could change in one proverbial blink
If we say, “We are many, you are few!”

Bluesman and Robin
I took you under my wing
And taught you how to fight
Despite the paralyzing sting
Of nibbling, gnawing fright
But you were very slight,
Too injured to survive the spring,
Before you flew into the night
You reminded me to sing.

Spicy
Suspicious to a fault?
I guess that’s me
But only one or two has proved me wrong.
If you’re not fond of salt
Perhaps it’s best you be
Aware of my salinity, it’s strong.

Autonomous
How beats the heart
That shrinks and then swells
What rhythm compels
The courage to start?
What forms the mind
That can sweet talk a sigh
But still tell a lie
Of the wickedest kind
Where shines the soul
Of immeasurable worth
We are blessed with at birth?
That spark makes us whole.

Sentiments
I sought something meaningful to say
On your very special day
But duty kept getting in the way
So I hope these simple lines will show
How blessed we were twelve years ago
And I love you more than you can know.

Worthiness
If you put familial needs before your own
Occasionally you may let loose a groan
Until you feel the love of those who know
The work you do so they can play and grow.

Fostered
The fruit we must not eat
Is the one we most desire
But will it still seem as sweet
When roasting in the fire?
The orchard offers fleeting shade
As steamy flesh is soon flambéed.

Grinders
We’ll bleed them with unending bills
And charge them more for harmful pills
Until they find, what truly kills
Is blind, obdurate trust
Our ancient clan manipulates
All the measures and the weights
Before our foe retaliates
They will be dust
And charge them more for harmful pills

Obligated
“Choose well when you’re young.”
Said the fool who had hung
Up his calling to care
For the less-than-aware.
But he knew anytime
He could sing, here the crime
Would be to just shirk,
He was no such jerk.

Displacement
Welcome to Dystopium
Just past the town of Copium
If you don’t want a taxing life
You better stop at Hopium.
