After slobbering
all over me the puppy
walked away wagging

            Kelly McManus

Want to see beauty
when your reading poetry
then just look around

                   Kelly McManus

Put your mind at ease
now I've got your attention
remain as you were

                    Kelly McManus

Hate hasn't won yet
looks like we're all still alive
though wars are contrived

                      Kelly McManus

Still Neanderthals
grunting to tell everyone
advancements there's none

                    Kelly McManus

When will we run
into the sun
and burn up into
ashes for all
they've done
just to control
every living soul
say
you don't know
what we
should do
but abide
with those
who are chosen
to rule
but not by you
and soon
we will run
into the sun
since they have
forsaken
everyone
too cash in
our ashes
that blow away
in a wind
of futility
with nothing
to say...Kelly McManus

They won't take the time
to become all of one mind
and advance mankind

                 Kelly McManus

It's time to invent
a new line of boats that float
on a plastic sea
                             Kelly McManus

It's a small circle
outside looking in around
the academics
                           Kelly McManus

Worlds ******* in knots
seemingly they just don't care
about our despair

                         Kelly McManus

Militaristic
the gist of society
only ends badly

   Kelly McManus

The clock is ticking
you all better change your minds
or run out of time

Seven deadly sins
list will need to be lengthened
for the government

                            Kelly McManus

Hard pill to swallow
forced to fund doctors lawyers
part of the rigged plan

                          Kelly McManus

Hoarding destruction
and you call that a peace plan
are you all quite mad

                        Kelly McManus

A bird happily
singing in a tree ask me
I  would say that's free
                                         Kelly McManus

If I was ever
asked to describe a cruise ship
floating petri dish

                           Kelly McManus

As the veil lifts
what was once empty darkness
no longer exists

                           Kelly McManus

Life's always better
no matter mood or weather
when topped with whipped cream

Military minds
have brought us to the brink of
extinction and fear

                           Kelly McManus

You have gone astray
following those who would lead
you to death's doorstep
                                         Kelly McManus

All the children cry
their future's passing away
due to climate change

               Kelly McManus

Can you free yourself
from what's designed  to snare minds
the trappings of wealth

                                     Kelly McManus

Let those with small minds
control everybody's fate
we're in a bad state

                   Kelly McManus

Cemeteries where
you see their propaganda
in all its glory

                 Kelly McManus

If theres no recourse
against any entity
what part of thats free

              Kelly McManus

They're not here for us
they're here to protect them from
dissatisfaction

                              Kelly McManus

They've written the script
mankind's annihilation
no we won't be back

Stupidest people
who are hoarding nuclear bombs
and run weapons labs

                              Kelly McManus

Only unity
can bridge the gap between us
and extinction

                          Kelly McManus

Still with the peons
but you have an umbrella
now that's middle class

                                         Kelly McManus

Always hear my host
The Holy Ghost laughing most
at my enemies

                        Kelly McManus

Seems to come in waves
an ocean of emotion
when I hear your name

               Kelly McManus

Truth about Judas,
go on, follow his footsteps;
kiss your soul goodbye.

                                   Kelly McManus

A gray whale emerged
waved its tail and then submerged
back into the sea
                                Kelly McManus

Just human beings
but so far I'm not seeing
any more around

               Kelly McManus

The state of the world
is hanging on a thin thread
that's frayed at both ends

                   Kelly McManus

Wished by many scribes
that poetry and music
would end all the lies

Wish it could be said
it was a good run except
all the destruction

                Kelly McManus

Implementation
Demilitarization
Self-Preservation

Went into the mist
clenching their fists and cursing
last we heard of them

                                    Kelly McManus

Program us to be
mindless drones who will obey
everything they say

                              Kelly McManus

I just have to laugh
when bees think they can sting me
and not lose their lives...Kelly McManus

I hear them squealing
about wheeling and dealing
raise the debt ceiling
                                      Kelly McManus

Six feet should complete
the distance that I have gone
the whole of my life...Kelly McManus

If they buy more arms
doesn't matter which *******
you choose we all lose

                       Kelly McManus

The animal man
barbaric nature remains
more than using brains

              Kelly McManus

Due to treachery
Chief had some reservations
on land of the free

             Kelly McManus

How dumb can they be
advancements in weaponry
to free you of life

                     Kelly McManus

Hypocrisy means
their rules don't apply to them
your free of freedom

                                   Kelly McManus
