Warning: the government is reading your poetry!
(Metadata Mining This Site)


If to the world about, you are attentive,
You have imbibed the news that our governmental,
is exercising its parental abusive in-discretionary powers,
Purviewing and purloining our electronic communications,
Causing some to have worrisome palpitations

My life is on the boring side,
So welcome gents to look inside,
The surfed sites, the emails, hardly slimy,
But stay the fk away from my poetry!

Tis obvious from your midnight editing,
That my wordily, working body has been discretely
Simonized,
My data,
Googlized,
My poems,
Scrutinized,
A comma, a colon, a verb, out of place, capsized,
Little threads kept in door jambs, their alteration,
Your snooping presence, a confirming revelation

Will the words Rye Catcher be caught by a filter,
My mocking of Obamacare, be the transmitter,
That becomes a curiosity inflictor, a predictor,
Of your requited, on-this-sited, attentions?

Meta dating women, once a goal, worthy of attaining,
Meta dating mining of poetic alliterations, pertaining
To me and mine, a serious no-no, causing consternation,
Heavy percussing, voters, party swinging in self-flagellation

The information unwittingly provided on HP
Will be used to modulate the time and temperature,
Add certain chemicals in the liquids we drink
Like testosterone in erogenous zones,
Xanax in the air vents in the high schools and colleges,
Hell, they may even put fluoride in the water

Control the atmosphere, fashion styles, population size,
Disclose location to my enemies and my illicit affairs,
(Exposed, leaked to the NY Post's Page Six, to my better halving),
Keep the emotions checked,
Within acceptable parameters,
Especially of those *****, love sick
Senior Citizens, always ready to get down
When poetry-aroused

This narration of condemnation for espying
Will YouTube spread like a new flu virus,
Cause I know where you live and Iam,
Cell phone camera armed and dangerous
On  the Internet, your faces, posted

They riot-for-rights in Cairo and Istanbul,
President Obama, we have on good authority,
Your daughters support our rhetoric, no bullsht,
Watch your step, or on you, we'll sic the IRS,
Cause in the end, they work for *us,

Hold on, who's that knocking at my door?
Ah. The things we think of at 3 in the morning.  Nonetheless:
|: Who's that knocking at my door? :|
Who's that knocking at my door?
Said the fair young maiden
It's only me from over the sea,
Says Barnacle Bill the Sailor,
I'm all lit up like a Christmas tree,
Says Barnacle Bill the Sailor,
I've sailed the seas until I'm broke,
I drink and swear and gamble and smoke,
But I can't swim a ****** stroke,
Says Barnacle Bill the Sailor.

A perfect example of having a punch line, then figuring out the joke. The joke is on my many friends of liberal, Democratic persuasion.   Warning! Another warning poem will be coming, for my insanity is fertile, when past midnight, I dream with, upon my face, this smile, demented. Hell, there it goes, now come, now gone.

My love for you
Fades
Slightly
With each passing day

Rewrite: The way in which I love you
Changes
Greatly
With each passing day
And I can feel it moving from
Bed sheets
To "besties"
And I'm not sure
how I feel about that.

Rewrite: I'm completely
sure how I feel about that
I'm just not sure what it means.

I like to sit around and ****
lean back and watch my room cloud with smoke
beginning to feel every hit
Mary Jane you're it
I enjoy these moments with my boy
he always brings me joy
I listen to your fingers glide
strumming those guitar strings
I love your voice
when you serenade me
when we sit back and enjoy the smoke
I love you
even behind my cloudy eyes
you're the one who makes me shine
we take a moment
we take another ****
we take time and watch my room fill with smoke
with you by my side
I'll always be all right

and i always like to remind myself
how bad i am with words,
but here we are--
                             i can't stop talking, and this is
                             the least understandable i've been in
                             months but the most understanding
                             you've been ever
        (my thoughts are illegible but
        your concern is poetry)
haha, this'll be deleted eventually.  but writing bad poetry helps me clear my head for more thoughts to come through.

There     are     faults     in     our    stars



                                                ­                 Ink marred by burning scars

                                                          ­         Holes in velvet seams

                                                      ­                  We cling to foolish dreams

                                                         ­       Seal the blinding **pe within

                                                         ­                              The light will always dim
                                                             ­                 
We burn so bright

                     Can we ignite without the light?
                                                          ­                                                    
I have never felt the same
                      
                                   Since you extinguished my flame
                                                           ­                                                         
I am a match without a spark
                                                        
  ­                                     Now you are a stranger in the *
dark

Tell me lord, is it
  such a sin to
despise the skin
I'm living
in?

i know you're miles away
but i've never been more in love
with you than i am now;
last night i dreamt that we spent
the night together and all you did
was hold my hand

(when i woke up, it was the first
time in months that i didn't feel
cold)
oh hello.
When the lights of summer start fading away
New lights start shining
You would really like summer to stay
But fall is anyway coming
He comes carrying lots of things
Along with a fresh school year
You get excited but when it begins
You can’t wait till the end is near
Early sleeping, early waking up
To make sandwiches and neatly dress up
Then you have to go half asleep
To a never ending day
Probably in the way you start to weep
Wishing that at home you could stay
But what’s coming is coming
Like a beast attacking its prey
However if you really think
How life would be without school
Then you will realize
That without it everyone will be a fool
So work hard and go after knowledge
Because in the end school you will deeply acknowledge
i wrote this one when i was 15 as a school project in 10th grade.
