Chocolate Obsession

How can you smile
when desire runs deep in daylight?

Your image influences,
like molten caramel,

Do not linger—
it’s messed up distraction
Your chocolate scent
arouses temptation

So don’t come near
a nightmare!
a terror to hold,
yet an irresistible obsession.

and what will occur..

i

lily says it is amazing
what some do and say
and get away..

but if one says
the city is a sting or
footballers are over paid..

now i am silenced
they say why
i say because you

silenced me
so now i say money
(something we all understand..)

i don´t actually want any
but to comunicate i tried
a bag of potatoes

and mentioned the mirror
but democracy needs dissent
but not that..

the truth we can do without
some day i will have my day in court
lily looks out

ii

crow looks in..homeless..
under the nazis homelessness was
a crime-they took you away

to a concentration camp and
there you died..
lily says concentration camps

are making a big come back
in the not too distant future
we should care for the homeless?

but that takes money..who will pay..
easier to put them behind barbed wire
and what will occur..there..

Comfort Over Truth

Most people don’t want the truth , they want the comfort of their own lies.

living forever

Living forever

I read in a Newspaper, was it the Guardian
that some world leaders like to live forever
I wonder what Trump has to say about that
I think he has a moment when I think about
This problem, or is he sure of his longevity
It doesn't matter what other leaders think
Putin and the Chinese leader like to live for
All the time, we understand, they have the power
and all the plans, the thought that someone
could come along is intolerable
They must be hollow inside, soulless inside
like a tree in the forest that is hollow inside

Legal Tender

Buy a cobra

with legal tender,

& touch it

sometimes.
