This Property Condemned
It was the third house on a far block Framed-up on a little dead-end street We thought it was ours, but no lock Just being built and almost complete Still, we went and talked to the owner Who allowed that he’d built it for us Refusal would have been such a boner We said we […]
What Do I Know?
Do you believe in magic, elves, fairy-folk and such? Or do you scoff and scorn, think it’s all too much? So smart, you know that you can rule out anything? Disbelieve the intent of galaxies, say stars don’t sing? I hope I’m not so pompous, I’d discount possibility Our most tragic tale unto our most […]
Worlds Enough and Time
Everywhere I look, stories of our current condition and perilous plight greet my eyes. Economic collapse, massive unemployment, infrastructure degradation, environmental destruction and the not so gradual collapse of life as we know it. On every front we have war and rumors of war, terrorists foreign and domestic, religious jihad, political statement, killer cops, cop […]
Children’s Duty
How lovely a bouquet of yellow daffodils In a clear glass vase, their stems cut short Die the sooner, their life and beauty stills Though death comes to all life, no resort From the far field we hear a loud report Death stalks the killing fields, watches all Knowing the lives of children, he’ll abort […]
Outside Straight
Who named our potentates in charge to date There’ll be others, after we fill our final crate Will it ever matter who we put atop that slate Held to the grindstone their egos won’t ablate We allow them to keep us in a confused state Rush here, there, back again, as if we are late […]
What are We Supposed to Do?
Prejudice, religious and racial intolerance, terrorism, murder, war and greed are said to have existed almost from the moment Homo sapiens first walked upright. Territorial imperatives and tribalism came to exist and I’m sure disputes sometimes arose between neighboring groups. Yet land was plentiful and early hominids could find more distant areas to forage and […]
Take Your Chances
So you pays your money and you takes your chance That is something I have been told, though not read Along the way you may learn the steps to the dance Hope you will master them, before you end up dead Many cute descriptions, we use to describe our lives A dance, a ride, a […]
Are Men Nuts?
The subjugation of women drives me nuts Just because men fear empowered women Keep women down, no ifs or ands or buts Threatened, if women don’t bow to them I mean, men haven’t done a great job so far Trashed the planet like at a crazy frat party Play with guns, rape, murder, start new […]
On the Home Front
We brand ourselves, the land of the brave and home of the free So proud, as we ignore our own ignorance, hatred and, bigotry Decrying machine-gun maniacs, who murder on bloody sprees While we’re Earth’s premiere purveyor of advanced weaponry So righteous, the people who slander one who’d help by decree Nor would it matter […]
Let Us
Let us spew more bigotry and hate Into our sad and psychotic world I mean, quick, before it’s too late Words, bombs bullets to be hurled Terror, disaster, anxiety all around The news so black you cannot see No matter what you say or you do Storm clouds obscure your visibility Try to get seen, […]
