24/M/USA I write a lot— hope you enjoy / I employ sarcasm and rhetoric as / My main tools / Poem topics include: chavs, lovers, fools, humor political discourse and reflective poetry... / But that’s just a bit o’ me
Henceforth a decree Of solidarity between those who Aren’t on the fringes of politics To unite against extremes on both sides Calling to arms For a common goal of unity It’ll take you and me Marxists won’t make three Let’s agree conservatively To pursue the defense of our union Liberally Without succumbing to the extremes We’ve learned nothing from the Soviet collapse? We’ve learned nothing from the Nazis or the KKK? History starts by learning objectively And destiny isn’t pre-determined So sorry scholar Go on and holler Take to trial The victim of a horse collar Tackle and dare that individual To think and you’ve created your own monster Why is your worst hell someone who can think for themselves? I’ll never understand.

American ICU and the TLC Sabbatical
If Variety is the Spice of life Than self depreciation Is the perfect mixer To add to your cup Drink up It’s a happy hour special Sit down Stay a while There’s no use For denial If you can’t fake a smile For another day Or another mile Kissing *** For years on end Till you’re senile What’s a check worth If you aren’t growing Misery shows its head Every night at the bar And you aren’t even growing. Look inward And laugh It’s the ROI When you’ve become jaded and cynical and you don’t know why

Self-deprecation
Enthalpy The heat is rising Faster than you may think You miscalculated Everyone knew it The world won’t stop without you What’s a rat race without the cheese A sonnet without rhyme A reason without justification Tenderness without understanding The world hasn't Won't and will never stop with you Get over yourself A strand of chaos Related genetically to descendants and ancestors Pastoral retreats you run to are all too familiar a myopic myoma the sickness of nostalgia The world hasn't Won't and won't ever stop without you So get over yourself.

The world still hasn't stopped and will keep going with or without you
Destroy recreate Substantial hate The times have changed To the very same Thing it was fighting before America: The imploding family Distrust is all I see But does hate see you When you look at a reflection?    A country destroyed So that men can debate History— the symbiosis leaves Me numb and irate I won’t burn the flag I won’t kneel But I to Some extant know how you feel This isn’t the way But we won’t change Cause tomorrow’s the same as today History’s ironic When we stop and think That nobody ever learns it We only discern it To fit an agenda   That weaponizes The politicians own ends Everyone wants power And they’ll discard friends To get it and keep it ....The **** Someones gotta see that this isn’t partisan Someone’s gotta see that we need change Not a revolution per se But we need to be more self reliant and sustainable To show certain people that they aren’t needed The fact that we’ve become so descentized to our own issues that we create problems Is just the byproduct Of the **** we created ourselves

Let it Burn
Would you Tell me that I’m wrong If I insinuated that We’re living in a cage Does this notion Leave you enraged What’s the world doing right now? Closing its eyes Covering its ears the rings of tomorrow still reverberate The yesteryear of today

If Ever
The jurors eyes Are blind to the facts The executioner Sits and laughs Judging minds Sewed an inevitable  relapse

Facts
Life begins Where it ends And I tell you my friends There’s no way to abort the mission Transgressions of the heart Passions of the minds Never seem to balance What is a human being Defined scientifically when proportions don’t seem to add up What’s righteous and right Depends on disposition As if that **** ever mattered What is a human being Defined emotionally When the stability of emotions Isn’t always stable A heartbeat can be measured A pulse can be noted But when are we truly living

I waited For your call Like autumn waits for your rain When it rung, there was poor reception How profane

**** (Positive)
Whoever craves modesty Indefinitely Shall be completely lost When the quarantine ends The stir-crazy Lonely And the otherwise social Will be compensated For this purgatory We had no hand in causing We now just bide our time And wait for the quarantine to end And the cages to rust
