A drunken salesman
your hearing damage
you say you're getting better
but you dont feel any better
you wish you felt better
they say they didn’t hear it
the static in your voice
authority sounds clearer
when it’s deaf
power survives by not listening
by calling silence recovery
and damage
a private failure
and somewhere in between
you dissapear
your hearing damage

I dig when you like my poems
And I’m really glad you know them
But you are being too critical
If you demand I not be political.
I’m not the most passive poet
You have ever heard or seen.
I am rather an outspoken
Liberal-minded poetry machine.
I’m not patient with ass-kissers
Or those who applaud crooks,
And flashy overspending creeps
Who got rich cooking the books.
I’m not impressed with how well
They behave at flashy photo-ops.
If they’re criminals, I really think
Someone should call the cops.
Nixon and Reagan, taught us
Being famous doesn’t get it.
If that’s all they have going on
Then, no thanks. Just forget it.
I don’t want to give them keys
To a worldwide nuclear disaster.
Kicking their ***** off the throne
Should be instantly if not faster.
So, if you came here to read
Of flowers, June, moon and spoon,
You’re bound to be disappointed
And it will happen very soon.
As I am in love with words
Not just the sound they make.
I try to move souls and hearts
And shake some people awake.

On sugar hollow road
there a red maple leaf sewed
the lawn athwart a wind to carry
why the orchard drove its seed
and back today did wing her feb
once her bare chest too did ravel
through her gratuitous smile again
that her Valentine still must travel.

Korea
Vietnam
Grenada
Iraq
So many lost lives
We can never take back;
So many ******** wars
We all have lost track.
Panama
Serbia
Syria
Iraq
What were we really doing there?
When did they attack us? Where?
When did they threaten my liberty
To buy an extra big SUV?
When did they land here with artillery
To threaten the freedom of you and of me?
When did these countries declare war
That caused us to gear up once more?
Korea
Vietnam
Grenada
Iraq
So many lost lives
We can never take back;
So many ******** wars
We all have lost track.
Panama
Serbia
Syria
Iraq
Invade them all, degrade them all
Because it doesn’t really matter to us.
Steal their lands, pound them into the sand
When done, throw them all under the bus.
Look what we have done to our natives.
You see how experienced we are at this.
We spare no expenses when it is war.
Oh, and what a lucrative thing it is.
Korea
Vietnam
Grenada
Iraq
So many lost lives
We can never take back;
So many ******** wars
We all have lost track.
Panama
Serbia
Syria

I could, for your sake, take trip to the middle East
Where life is like living in the belly of beast
To preach against violence and hope they all fear it
Cause your love gives peace and with the world I could share it
I could exceed speed limits to get to you in time
Switch lanes on a one way even if it is a crime
If I get run over or caught by the police
Then it would be worth being reckless loving you like this
I could do the dishes and the whole house I shall keep
Even watch the kids; to get you extra hours of sleep
If I get a query cause I was making breakfast
At least I got the chance to make my love for you last
I could break a nose or even chop off someones head
Or just displace some bones but leave them alive instead
I shall declare enemies, that despise your person
My love shall defend you both in and out of season
I could lay down my life in your stead if I have to
It may sound crazy but I'd do it cause I love you
Don't fear that you might loose me cause true love never dies
My love's divine and would remain however fast time flies.
