Ponder Beyond Honor
At any given time
in this existence
somewhere in the expanse
of this spinning planet
the sun is shining bright
Take solace in rotation
and embrace the inevitability
of ever changing circumstance
Time is a river that flows
The Universe is never static
Neither are those dark clouds
that seem perpetual
currently enveloping your soul
We know they are not
but too often we grow
to accept our misery
as a natural state
of hard wired fate
The blues do not have to be
It’s up to you
to flip your script
Do you want to?
Revolting Peasants
One look around
and I instantly knew
I was in the wrong part of town
A displaced refugee
now an endangered species
about to be planted
with all the other victims
by the heartless enemy
known by the scared inhabitants
as Poverty
I will not be the last to fall
into this unfortunate circumstance
currently beneath your oblivious sight
In fact soon we will be the majority
from which revolutions ignite
Gropey Boys
These be dangerous times
for touchy feely guys
Those hands on types
with their probing fingers
and groping hands
of questionable affection
Where once they were just
roll your eyes inappropriate
today they can be charged
as criminal pervs
Not easy being creepy anymore
though being a misogynist dick
is no longer disqualifying
in MAGA approved
patriarchy based politics
End Game
Fret not
my worrisome friends
about your legacy
after you end
Once we fall permanently
out of rotation
we’ll be relieved
of all these nagging aggravations
No one will sing odes
over our life history
for the dusty bones
in the ground we will be
Joining all the other faded names
in forgotten cemeteries
from past centuries
in the midst of oblivion
Carpe Diem Damn It !!
Write Up Call
The crushing tedium
that suffocates
this life mundane
pales in comparison
to the deep darkness
of the grave
While we are in play
for our time allocated
in this drive thru existence
we get to choose
from a very limited menu
posted in chalk
on the indifferent wall
So let’s make the most
of this opportunity
to craft a best selling
auto biography
and blast away
the monotonous exasperation
of our current life stagnation
May as well savor
every Carpe Diem flavor
dropped on our plates
to provide bored mourners
with some amusing
small talk anecdotes
to kill the dead time
at our future boo hoo wake
Life Affirming
He couldn’t be found
Neither could she
A double M.I.A. mystery
Catty rumors did abound
that the fiery pair
ran off somewhere
for a passionate affair
far away
from the whispering tongues
forever looking down
on their lust connection
with the envious glances
only those
in miserable relationships
can dispense
A few days later
there was a tropical post
from the happy couple
on the church chat page
with the mocking caption:
BON VOYAGE SUCKERS !!
Ouch..
Boomer Casualties
Blew off my hand
cause I chose not to understand
the whole fuse length concept
as it relates to explosives
ignited with minimum respect
for the power of combustion
and the attached time element
Now that I’m a bloody mess
I gotta deal
with complex
hand less consequence
which will negatively impact
my future hand held device performance
Just another gaping wound to patch
as the immutable truth gushes out
that accidents are destined to happen
to ignorant children who play with matches
left out by those with a sinister mindset
The Hatched Man
The escapee
who managed to flee
this existence
could not be found
cause he didn’t want to be
For you see
location displacement is OK
once the Search Party realizes
the utter futility
of positional enforcement
on truly liberated souls
these thought restrictive
mind control days
run by the mighty algorithm
Time Bubble
Looking back
in retrospect
as is my habit
these dwindling days
I do suspect
that my mid life crisis
occurred
June 15th 2007
at half past six
I thought it was gas
from something I ate
but at second glance
it was just another
unwelcome time belch
Minimal Response
One glance
at my smoking phone
and I knew
a fiery text from you
had just dropped
like a flaming anvil
on my fair head
I weighed my various options
of possible defense responses
and chose deletion
without even reading
the piercing accusations
as the best chance
of keeping
our ever tenuous peace
