before dawn this Friday morn
hundreds of flying foxes
returned to their tree roosts
along the creek's banks

a
chap
at
a
poetry
site
asked
a
poetess
to
send
him
her
silk
*******
well
his
request
didn't
go
down
too
well
she
was
shocked
by
the
audaciousness
of
him
wanting
her
tail
coverings
the
thought
did
cross
her
mind
that
he
was
of
the
cross-dressing
kind

too much interference
has been extensively run
by those who hold
the kingmaker's gun

as a consequence
of this kind of thing
the democratic process
is under a clouded ring

the flow of votes
which were meant
for the out in front candidate
got subverted somewhere
in the ballot box's victory pate

foreign countries meddling
with other country's domestic autonomy
so the results of elections
will satisfy their sovereignty

transgressors are employing
their technics from nations far away
to determine who'll wear
a crowning array

the cross of the critics
nailed the duo with a despise
they showed no mercy
for the pair's demise

crucified
crucified
by the venom of a viper's bite
crucified
crucified
there wasn't any scrap of respite
crucified
crucified
in a rancorous mean spite

the pack of detractors
wanted the dyad beaten down
so they served up a caustic vitriol
to claim an undeserved crown

crucified
crucified
savage the meter's punishment
crucified
crucified
ever vile this scathing torment
crucified
crucified
none being fair in treatment

the cross of the critics
nailed the duo with a despise
they showed no mercy
for the pair's demise

mere crumbs
to offer
not a decent
feed
take the crumbs
elsewhere
as they'll
be received
more graciously

cutting southerly winds blow
their cold blades slicing through
unto the bone's jelly marrow
chilling the very core

it keeps him awake
night after night
few hours of sleep
does he quietly receive
it interjects into his
mind most unexpected
rousing him from
the land of slumber

ever
he bears the weight
ever
the tonnage remains
ever
unsettling his thoughts

there's no escaping the past
it's a persistent thing
he wrestles with guilt
and the grip cannot be unshackled
nor be readily unlaced

it rises during the night
in provocative ****
this be his damning load

swans and swanettes
all clamoured to dance
with the cygnet's undesirable
admission's prance

they didn't know that this male
was such a bragging exposure
and would strip their secrets
leaving them without composure

a waltzing of blackmail
was called in his revelation
the lovely feathered ones
trust divulged as intimidation

they only saw the charade
of this not so perfect ballroom chap
who'd tell all if they were unwilling
to twirl on his spin's tap

in fear lived the honeys    
of his fox trotting troupe
as their private steps
would be made an open coupe

there's a vibe in the joint, something is going down
there's a vibe in the joint, something is going down
the ringmaster marshals his mates, one senses the current
the ringmaster marshals his mates, one senses the current
something is going down, the ringmaster marshals his mates
there's a vibe in the joint, one senses the current

a head on a plate is sought, when will the strike come
a head on a plate is sought, when will the strike come
the reckoner does his sums, he's staying ever ready
the reckoner does his sums, he's staying ever ready
he's staying ever ready, a head on a plate is sought
when will the strike come, the reckoner does his sums

of a foot fleet the target is, dancing at all times
of a foot fleet the target is, dancing at all times
reel by reel the action plays, tis most eventful
reel by reel the action plays, tis most eventful
reel by reel the action plays, dancing at all times
of a foot fleet the target is, tis most eventful

when will the strike come, there's a vibe in the joint
the ringmaster marshals his mates, one senses a current
of a foot fleet the target is, tis most eventful
the reckoner does his sums, a head on a plate is sought
something is going down, reel by reel the action plays
he's staying ever ready, dancing at all times

did you hear the one
about the ******
she's had more ****** in her
than a second hand dart board

day's open fold
reveals an orb of bright shining
day's open fold
arising attired in gold
emerging out of night's lining
to exhibit her sun's climbing
day's open fold

decisive defense
derailed the dictator's
dreams of dominance

all will face death
this is a certainty
there is no escape
from death's sea

we'll crumble to dust
beneath the ground
we'll be ever buried
in an earthen mound

in darkness we'll lay
for eternity
we'll not have
a light with which to see

death is permanent
death shall come
death is waiting
for everyone

at any moment
we could be called away
called away
for an infinite stay

death shall knock
at our door
it may well knock
this day upon our door

the death knell
is ringing
yes it is true
the death knell is ringing
for me and for you

no escape
no chance of a way out
the endless caravan of death
is ever about

in a mere moment the light of life can dim
on leaving grief weighs heavy on the shoulder
sadness pervades in feelings too grim

tragedy strikes neath an unstoppable boulder
our eyes reddened by death's weeping stain
on leaving grief weighs heavy on the shoulder

the heart's loss seeks consolation for its pain
time passes yet our memories never fade
our eyes reddened by death's weeping stain

our loved ones reposing in groves of shade
on their departure we're bereft of gleam
time passes yet our memories never fade

as we move toward the morrow's sun beam
let our sorrows be comforted by hope
on their departure we're bereft of gleam

gather to our side those who'll help us cope
let our sorrows be comforted by hope
in a mere moment the light of life can dim
sadness pervades in feelings too grim

he took love's arrow out
of the quiver launching it
at she who he did revere
with deep devotion

apt at spilling forth
a load of *******
his tongue
dispenses
volumes  
of it

one wonders who
he's targeting now
more than likely
she is an unaware
and ignorant sow

over the course of time
she'll wise up to his *******  
and realize
he's so full of it

many lines of crap
he spun me
all of them were
unbelievable
in degree
