#deplorable - Hello Poetry

Hidden deep in the galley at sea far from the front Washing pans and floors and sometimes onions Never a shot fired at nor its distanced boom heard Now proudly badged, poor, unemployed, a veteran Strutting in the town square openly carrying Seeing fear and respect in mocking eyes And gratitude in sneering smiles and sarcastic lips But utter despair and pity to those that truly loved Now old, lonely, far from those who once cared Sharing truths on the net when away from Facebook jail And calling out fake news with evangelistic fervour But touch Trump, and even jihadists cow before his ferocity

Smashed skull mentality. Altered states of mind/ sober all the time Slick, sickly cycling. Dreaming of love and of dying Slimy sucky lust No trust but I'm trying Sticky fingers; Blue, brown, green eyes Why do I appreciate, have mercy for every soul but my own? This might be a house but it isn't a home. Sweaty naked bodies, distasteful escape. Wasteful mind Bring me your time. Minefield life just trying to survive most days. Brain waves moody haze with your hand in mine I am thriving. Pillow soft lips a kiss away from drowning in a strangers' eyes. Endless longing set the days on fire. Time warp, essential sensuality Warm breeze running through my mind Black poison blood, sweat, c*m, and confusion populate my veins. A race toward brokenheartedness or objectivity Lift the curse of eternal shame. Forgotten toxicity embalmed in simplicity and transparency Complacency, erasing a disgusting history Bury me in the laurels you rest on.

You’ve labeled us rightly: Real news. It’s no libel. Forget about Putin; we’re just having fun as we cling to tradition, and guns, and the Bible. The pipe-dream is ending. Your war has begun. We are glad you’re progressive—your future awaits. Take your baggage, and go. We won’t hinder your flight. You could choose one of many dull globalist states or else stay, and prepare for the cultural night. We are ****** and mean. You appreciate art. We’re black velvet painting. You’re classical strings. We are rigidly Right. You are left feeling smart but appalled by the changes democracy brings. We’re the garbagemen next to your uptown Picasso. Our news is pure falsity. Why ? Cause you say so ! We are selfish, aggressive, misogynist too . . . (you can ask our sweet wives if the latter is true). We’re oppressive to immigrants, harsh on our kids. While you signal your virtue, we have none to show. Such deplorable ways have you flipping your lids. So please go out in style. Or else don’t—but just GO. We’re immune to the slurs you’ve been slinging for years. Please progress to the North without further delay and make good on your promises. Spare us the tears. And buzz off—take a hike. Break a leg. Fade away.

Miles upon miles slither along old, forgotten bends and dance with evening tides. You exist across the vast exploits of their secret vices. I exist among the roots of their ***** deplorable deeds. One day, we will encounter each other's beings and visions. And what a day that will be. -s.r.b.
