Oh no, they see me They'll soon know me They'll know I'm only A one trick pony A phony Full of bologna No one below me So No one to hold me To the business end of accountability Ignoring any responsibility So I fly free With no pilot license on me Obviously And predictably I did what y'all we're waiting to see Sorry y'all had to wait endlessly I hope y'all where more entertained than me Sorry that me is all I could be ©2024

~•§•~ I Waited and Saw ~•§•~
I've shut down so completely it's profound and I've now lost touch with reality What I want to be and what I'll never be eventually co-mingle and become one entity The blasphemy, the phony sanctimony and hypocrisy blast from me I try awkwardly to juggle all three, run 'em up the flag pole, wait and see Hear ye, hear ye...another blunder here for your amusement, come see Woe is me! An empty plea for pity ******* by a request to be put out of my misery It's plane to see, at least by me, that I'm my own worst enemy, I'm no friend to me Bad karma stacks rapidly atop the early onset of senility Losing my mind was an inevitability but that was my only company ...now it's only me... The notion that behind every smile you'll find your happy is, in it's self, a fallacy ©2023

~•§•~ I'm No Friend to Me ~•§•~
Let me guess... She's your favorite person; she helps relieve life's burdens; she's the one you text late at night, and you think she's absolutely perfect, right? You made up some metaphor to make her blush more than ever before. And she's the one you'll dream about because it's her whom you love now.

It's her whom you love now
Little divested flower, Shame— how you break with the peak of light. A blossom they might think, You're still a phony stick. Is it guilt filling the scene? Or is it just the sunbeam?

She's deprived.
Everyone wants to be a revolutionary, a hero, a martyr, or more. Empty minds seeking an empty prize, of fame and boundless glory. Everyone wants to be a wiseman, without searching for the wisdom. Everyone wants to break free, from their phony societal prison. Everyone wants to be loaded, without having to earn the dough. A tax or two will surely do, those ***** capitalists will eat crow! Everyone wants to change the world, without having to change themselves. Everyone wants everything, except to be ourselves.

Vive la fausse révolution!
1 Borrowed boots carried him lightly To the Mule Neck Glade Where the dawn star rising Cut like a damascene blade. 2 Borrowed boots carried him lightly To the Mule Neck Spinney Where the dawn fire’s reflection Burned like an acid Jinnee. 3 Borrowed books carried him lately Through a mare’s nest of days Till the cryptorium’s meek updraft Smashed his kennings to a craze. 4 Burrough’s books stick like court plasters To the Tourette’s sufferer’s face Where irruptions of night terrors Stitch their goggle-eyed trace. 5 Bare bones faithfully uncovered One last forgiving needle Our final view upon Ascension - The Analysis of Beetles!

Imaginary death songs
-->In the past Martin Luther King Jr Antonio Gramsci Were waging a fight For the observance of Their likes' right, Also like Frederik Engels Crossing-floor or Transcending class There were some Who were struggling On the side of The oppressed mass. Making Proletariat internationalism Their intent The likes of Che Guevara ** Chi Minh ,Castro Proved freedom fighters Beyond the perimeter Of their continent. A selfless sacrifice Was what They were expecting As a price. Like Mandela's stance "Lick not your wound" Was what  was deemed Sound. Unity, genuine democracy and Freedom was the catch word All in one tied By a political cord. -->  Currently So called politicians' intention Is towards themselves Drawing attention. Fabricating a political tension Deconstruction history And dishing out A scare-tactic fiction They bring into play a given Ethnic or religious Group's ,once up on a time, Suffered lance, Their hidden selfish agenda To advance, Rallying the mob truth And fiction that Fails to balance. Moreover for fishing In troubled water A hotbed they give a chance. Optimizing own benefit Is their price. Self-seeking, Triggering ethnic-conflict Many societal-harm they inflict. They adore blood To flow like a flood. Disintegration and hate speech Is what they preach. "Chase that religious group And that race!" Is what They expect  credulous Followers to embrace. Machiavelli is their Political bible To translate into action They make a dabble.

What has literature become? Mockery of the new age They spit on the graves of former writers They take their names and drag it through mud Disgrace, distaste Nothing fuels the flame The elusive spark as died We all try to grasp at fame Only few may succeed In comparison we falter We are the ****** ones left to pray at the alter

Mockery
I am underneath this mask I've made Down below the smile shown World within is stony and dim Think you know how it feels to be alone? Take my place for a single day You will realize your life is sweet There's always effects from mistakes repeated You have a house to ease your feet. Breathe me slow, inhale my thoughts Only I could invade your mind Occupy another brain for a brief stay Enough time to leave battles fought behind. There is no escape from this pain Don't know  what to say when friends ask Continue to carry on like I'm okay Hiding beneath my delicate careful mask.

Mask
Sitting down Investigating the dimmed glow of my golden soul A hint of apathy darkened my mind and caused my psyche to cease to grow Maybe it was because of all the weight that I agreed to hold In order to further expand the frame of my enlightened mind I delve into the depths of my thousands of manifested sides Leaving my mark through those that I connect with Mortality and eternity coincide

Donald Twittler, not a pretty picture Sees himself as some kind of king. Makes constant promises, Doesn’t know what integrity is, His word really doesn’t mean a thing. Donald Twittler reveres Adolf ****** Wants a Nuremberg rally of his own. He craves mass adulation From a battered nation From the mistakes that are his alone. Donald Twittler phones from the ******* Rages  online in the middle of the night. Each complaint anyone makes He claims they’re all fakes As if he's ever known wrong from right. Donald Twittler, the personification of a drifter, Has no relationship with the truth at all. Don’t bother asking why; He’s the best his Dad could buy, And he’s never had to be on the ball. Donald Twittler, a slimy sort of critter Gets climaxes from national attention. He has never had morals; Buys his way out of quarrels, If he had a soul it’s far beyond redemption. Donald Twittler, thinks he’s better than ****** And we should all kiss his big fat *** More than half of us disagree And urge him to quickly flee Because most of us would just as soon pass.

DONALD TWITTLER
He has a degree in bait and switch He’s a devious, deceitful sumbitch; He’s a human hound dog, A trash talking fat hog, Ready with a phony smile And he has been for a while. Happily taking britches off of ******* If she’s not too fussy with her ***** Because by gum and dagnab. That’s the first thing he’ll grab. As crazy as a lifelong ****** He thinks a nice guy is a loser. He reverses what he says each day And if you catch him he’ll always say He blames it on Obama and Jews, On Democrats and fake news. He changes his mind on a whim Thinks nobody is as good as him. We need to mention how ugly he got. His appearance seems to be all rot. He’s made of pure grease That keeps him so obese Still he claims he is as trim As guys half the size of him. He got started by his daddy’s dough Back a flashy half century or so He has very little taste Most of his life was a waste. Every business he touches Ends up walking on crutches. Why is his image with so secure? He’s not a decent man for **** sure. An adulterer and a predator Treats his wives like competitors Who are blocking his limelight And should be hidden from sight.

FAMOUS FLAKE
How can you Let him do this to you? So many lies You fail to see through! You insist on being An incredibly stupid pigeon! You don’t make sense, Not the tiniest smidgeon. You ******* when Clinton Got a simple office beejay But now you let Chump Grab crotches along the way. You turn a blind eye When he steals from us daily, And let him ruin the US And continue pillaging gaily. How can you Let him do this to you? So many lies You fail to see through! You claim he’s Christian Though he acts like a true pagan; You accept his KKK crap And reject Hawking and Sagan. You let him do things That remove other politicians When he should be The point of many petitions. You insist on being An incredibly stupid pigeon! You don’t make sense, Not the tiniest smidgeon. You parrot his words, But his talk is completely bogus. You holler and howl And you think you’re fooling us. But he is a charlatan And often says what he means, Then tells lies you like And shoves them in between. How can you Let him do this to you? So many lies You fail to see through!

TRUMPSTRUMPETS
He’s a refugee of sorts From society’s glitter gutter. His nouveau riche attitude Show in every word he utters. That is where he’s from. He’s nothing but glitter litter. If he doesn’t get what he wants He’s ****** obnoxious and bitter. He’s a legendary narcissist. And prostitutes adore him. He likes his body to be fat But keeps his morals slim. His daddy bought him toys Of the fanciest richest kind. Dad didn’t care what it did to him. He must have been blind. He ruined the boy with money Buying his way through college So that when the boy left there He had style and little knowledge. Daddy gave him a nice fortune To start off his spoiled whelp. Son was never really good at much But having a few million helped. The kid liked glitz and glamour And especially glittery women. One after the other he used them And never really got smitten. He’s a legendary narcissist. And prostitutes adore him. He likes his body to be fat But keeps his morals slim. Now a few children later They have become a bother. They keep needing things Like money from their rich father. He wonders where they got That sickening greedy habit. He’s fears if they can get His gold they'll surely grab it. He’s a legendary narcissist. And prostitutes adore him. He likes his body to be fat But keeps his morals slim.

GLITTER LITTER
The Talking **** is babbling He’s not quite capable of reason. He’s busy patting his own back Every day, every month and season. The Talking **** is assuming As usual that we can’t think. But we know for a certainty That a talking **** still stinks. The Talking **** is promising All the miracles he will perform. He’ll take credit from others After all, that’s his norm. He’ll put down the good efforts Of those who came before Who actually did the good work While he worked on his golf score. The Talking **** is not required To make very much good sense. He has his Nazis beside him And a crowd of the politically dense. He says what he knows pleases Those who are not quite bright. He chants the hateful dogma Adopted by fools on The Right.

THE TALKING ****
Art is dead Sold out and bought The artist is dead Killed by a golden weight But the artist is now rich It only took him an hour To build a house with no foundation only a week to sell the deception Wait, where is his skin, did he not shed the white? It lounges in the shade under a redwood tree But what does it do, it cannot just sit all the day It does far more than just become part of a portrait scene But no one sees him, after all he is just a hollow skin Struggling to pick the right word, or phrase that completes his fragment Why does it take him months to complete, why does he not sell for profit? How do you sell an apology? Can our souls be bought now at market? He takes long Because he cares

C'EST LA GUERRE.....
Everything he says Comes out backward. Nothing about him Is really straightforward. It’s like he came here From Bizarro World. Both of the forks Of his tongue are curled. He makes our lives Like a lower rank of hell. You won’t want to buy A single thing he sells. You can figure out This reptilian guy Just expect everything He says to be a lie. If he says it’s a nice day Run for your umbrella. At all possible costs You should avoid this fella. And if you know someone Who tells you he is nice Run as fast as you can From them, take my advice. He has never been honest He has never even tried. You’ll quickly lose count Of the times he has lied. If you think for a second That he cares about you Believe me when I say It just cannot be true. Because the only person This guy loves is himself And he doesn’t give a **** About anybody else. Not his family, nor his wife Please be a believer. In truth, he doesn’t really Love himself either. His whole world is backward, What he hates describes him. He tells about how he is So handsome and slim. But actually he’s a tub of lard And socially quite awkward. But he doesn’t realize it. He is, after all, himself: Mister Backward.

MISTER BACKWARD
All the words you say should be listed as a crime You can't seem to think and talk at the same time. You babble like a brook after a horrendous flood And look like an aging cow chewing her cud. Somebody should have slapped a muzzle on you Slapped your big **** a time or two. If lying cost you money, it would be a great joke. We'd all feel better and you would be broke. You're a big fat liar, Seldom speak the truth! You're a total spoiled brat Have been  since your youth. You've got a lousy rememberer But a very strong forgetter. You will always tell the lie When the truth might fit you better. If words made things happen You might have a chance to be The big shot you think you are Instead of the reality. You're a tinhorn snakeoil salesman Like they had in olden days. You long ago discovered that Lying far too often pays. You owe all your successes To the fact that people trust. They see a man in a costly suit And they let him go for bust. But, bust almost always Means for anyone but you. You only ever make a dime If too many of us are coocoo. You're a big fat liar, Seldom speak the truth! You're a total spoiled brat Have been  since your youth. You've got a lousy rememberer But a very strong forgetter. You will always tell the lie When the truth might fit you better.
