Golden Ruler

Where life lessons
are sadly lacking
ignorance definitely
ain’t bliss

They should teach
the golden rule in school
every day
til it becomes rote
like multiplication tables
and gum stalactites under the desk..

Call it the Pledge of Respect
until hopefully
the daily lesson rolls into habit
and the kiddies
grow up to be decent adults

Past Prejudice

Let’s have MY people
meet YOUR people
at the designated place
where we will interface
and formulate secret plans
against THEM
who have no people
of any consequence..

We entrenched natives
gotta unite
because if we don’t
those we fear
will succeed in eventually
becoming part
of us
and the blood purity
of our former ethnic exclusivity
will be forever lost
as part of the Great Replacement
Deep State conspiracy

Go Girl Majesty

Drink up my dear…

Let the booze melt those chains
of ancient sexual repressions
good girls are forced to wear..

Morning after
you came blame it all
on too much alcohol…

but there’s really no need..

For it’s only a walk of shame
if you choose to let it be..

I suggest you choose NOT to..

Don’t allow people to judge you..

Cause their snide petty asides
are nothing but projected envy
toward those with the audacity
of savoring this all too brief life

Caress the Process

All the answers you seek
to riddles that confound
are contained somewhere
in the loose solution fragments
rattling around
and bouncing off the walls
of your muddled brain..

Take the time
to sort
and collate
these jumbled thought cells
in an orderly progression..

Then just connect the dots

and allow the clarity

now staring you in the face

to lead you through the darkness

of what was once ignorance

The Mystery of Faith

All of God’s children

praying together

in splendid houses of worship..

Of course they also sin..

Many of them incessantly

which to me

is the height of hypocrisy

since so many love to preach

about the Lord’s many requirements…

So the unfaithful

sure can’t use ignorance of the rules

as a fall back failure excuse..

So why the constant moral violations

that only serve to jeopardize

their potential heavenly reward?

This does give me reason to pause

if these pilgrims are truly all in

on the prospect of eternal salvation

which as I understand it

is sort of the end game objective

for pious true believers..

Makes me thank God

I’m a practicing agnostic..

Buffer Boy

Locked up again
with that mocking clock
keeping me company..

Spin freezing
my overloaded
frozen ass..

Cause as always is the case
I try to do too damn much
too damn fast..

Only a desperate
refresh button option
can reset this busted equation
and bring about
much needed
time life restoration..

Just another band aid fix
slapped on the stubborn wound
that will never properly scar
on this poorly planned
overzealous man..

My Old Friends

Just another rest in peace moment
for an old friend..

Read about it on Facebook
from the thoughts and prayers comments
posted on an old pic
back when we were friends
before we too became old
and subject to the drifts of time..

Demise details sorely lacking
cause our friendship subscription expired..

We didn’t even exchange
Christmas cards anymore..

Social media having squashed
such quaint traditions..

I wonder how my old friend died?

Was it quick and painless
or a long drawn out drip drip event?

Perhaps it was a to Hell with this life suicide?

My now dead old friend was dramatically inclined..

Gotta get to the wake for all the morbid details
that I can share with my fellow curious ghouls
who won’t bother to be there..

Gotta see all my other old friends
who do make the last respects trip..

Dressed in our best death threads
we’ll reminisce on all the old stories
before we became walking corpses
now sharing our own shrinking timelines..

Who amongst us mourners
we now barely know
will be the next to go?

Electronic Church bells toll
as yet another body gets laid to rest..

They do seem to ring louder than before
which is weird cause my hearing
has greatly faded over the years..

I guess mortality does play tricks
with the old senses

Fearless Cowards

If you’ve never felt
the sting of your mistakes
that slam impacted your friends
or suffered the consequences
of selfish misdeeds
then insensitive you is destined
to repeat these egregious offenses
again and again…

This is a blessing
and a curse
(of course)…

The life of the oblivious cur
is a curious one indeed…

A cool bastard mix
of bravery and foolishness..

Destined to crash and burn
(of course)…

Cloud Cover

Fumbling my way through
this fog of creativity
without my literary devices
to keep me company..

Self doubt now rides with me..

Can there even be poetry
without sleight of hand trickery?

Stripped of all clever deceptions
there is no longer any protection
from the truths we avoid religiously..

And yet…

There is a sense
of orgasmic liberation
when we lower our shields
and let others in
to share what we feel..

At least temporarily
til suffocating judgements
cloud us in again

The Real Chosen Ones

While it’s an absolute truth
that all dogs go to heaven
tis also not a guess
that all cats go too…

While we sin based humans
are 50/50 at best…

What does that say about our species?

We’re made in God’s image my ass
