the banana poem
May I join you in the doghouse, Rover? I wish to retire till the party's over. Since three o'clock I've done my best To entertain each tiny guest. My conscience now I've left behind me, And if they want me, let them find me. I blew their bubbles, I sailed their boats, I kept them from each other's throats. I told them tales of magic lands, I took them out to wash their hands. I sorted their rubbers and tied their laces, I wiped their noses and dried their faces. Of similarities there's lots Twixt tiny tots and Hottentots. I've earned repose to heal the ravages Of these angelic-looking savages. Oh, progeny playing by itself Is a lonely little elf, But progeny in roistering batches Would drive St. francis from here to Natchez. Shunned are the games a parent proposes, They prefer to squirt each other with hoses, Their playmates are their natural foemen And they like to poke each other's abdomen. Their joy needs another woe's to cushion it, Say a puddle, and someone littler to push in it. They observe with glee the ballistic results Of ice cream with spoons for catapults, And inform the assembly with tears and glares That everyone's presents are better than theirs. Oh, little women and little men, Someday I hope to love you again, But not till after the party's over, So give me the key to the doghouse, Rover

Children's Party
Zeus had plastic surgery, his fingertips shaved off so he would not leave prints when he committed his archetypal crimes. He changed his name to Saturn then to Cronos then to Albatross Von Mariner, all this subterfuge just to disquise the fact that he goes borderline ballistic when he doesn't get his way. He pulled Icarus out of the sky, wounded Prometheus’ side, left Sisyphus on a steep lonely mountain, dared Demeter to save her daughter, yet these souls persist in mnemonic literary defiance of a single fact… No god is greater than you, the karma jury has come in and Zeus is sentenced to five years of community service on Interstate Highway 5. He will wear a yellow clown suit with a red rubber nose and floppy green shoes with a fast food tray hanging from his neck and he will walk in traffic snarls stopping at every car to clean the windows to sell hotdogs with purple relish and black mustard wrapped in grey buns as unappetizing and pathetic as the lies he has told us about ourselves for so long.

BAD ZEUS ON HIGHWAY 5
As my soles strike the concrete My soul soars across the skyline And I catch myself considering The constant conflict of life, I'm confounded By the concept of beauty By which we're surrounded Then I see a skyscraper And my mind goes ballistic With a sudden epiphany Each window holds a story Of a person or a family Facing challenges like me And the whole of humanity I stand there Staggered As I consider the potential The knowledge The beliefs And I begin to entertain The ludicrous notion That maybe Just maybe The world isn't broken If all of those windows Set aside all adversity We could face any problem With the highest degree of certainty

Lessons From A Skyscraper
Capricorn the sea goat Equal parts earth and water Emotions rush over like waves; quickly they consume like undertow, dragged into depths of melancholy abyss Determined, we persevere as if nothing is amiss Climbing back atop the mountain in spite of such turmoil, we bury our feelings in the cool dark soil Though sometimes we get stuck in the mud so we wait until it turns to clay Aiming to build solid foundation without delay, forming structure is our forte We’re quite resourceful, I must say! Sure, Saturn’s influence is rough; repaying karmic debts can make life feel so fatalistic It's why we can’t help being so tough; these unexpressed emotions make us want to go ballistic... Just always remember it’s all humbling at the end of the day Such lessons are important for doing whatever we may Really, we wouldn’t have it any other way

I wonder if behind closed doors, You shed tears. I wonder if behind closed doors, You curse out loud, give voice to your fears. I wonder if behind closed doors, You think of all of the things you haven't done yet. I wonder if behind closed doors, You ask Him if this is a safe bet. I wonder if behind closed doors, You dream of the day you'll be free. I wonder if behind closed doors, You just try to stay calm and breathe. I wonder if behind closed doors, You're afraid of falling asleep. I wonder if behind closed doors, You know what you want others to keep. I wonder if behind closed doors, There are people you want to forgive. I wonder if behind closed doors, You wonder how long you're going to live. I wonder if behind closed doors, You loathe what you can't control. I wonder if behind closed doors, No matter how many blankets you pile on, will you still feel cold? I wonder if behind closed doors, You remember your first kiss. I wonder if behind closed doors, You understand you'll always be missed. I wonder if behind closed doors, You struggle with regular tasks. I wonder if behind closed doors, Your face no longer resembles an emotionless mask. I wonder if behind closed doors, You let your emotions show. I wonder if behind closed doors, You think about the time you'll have to go. I wonder if behind closed doors, You're satisfied with your life. I wonder if behind closed doors, Is there anything you'd be willing to sacrifice? I wonder if behind closed doors, You stare a yourself in the full length mirror. I wonder if behind closed doors, You wonder when answers will become clearer. I wonder if behind closed doors, You think of your loved ones. I wonder if behind closed doors, You reminisce on hunting and guns. I wonder if behind closed doors, Your parents talk to you. I wonder if behind closed doors, You just want to start anew. I wonder if behind closed doors, You stay optimistic. I wonder if behind closed doors, You let it all go and become ballistic. I wonder if behind closed doors, You're tired of taking all the pills. I wonder if behind closed doors, You feel death's constant chill. I wonder if behind closed doors, You read like you always have. I wonder if behind closed doors, This all makes you ****** mad. I wonder if behind closed doors, You fall to your knees and pray. I know that behind closed doors, We're all happy you're here today. When you go, open my closed doors, And please watch over me. Because when I'm behind a closed door, I'll be waiting for you to comfort me.

Behind Closed Doors

The birthday song is not a song it's not even a small ditty As it is only four lines long it's really rather ****** There isn't a good chorus so isn't that a pity A catchy tune it has not got and the lyrics are not witty This song's lyrics are so short and there all the ****** same Apart from the 3rd line down when you substitute a name Okay you say "Dear" instead of "To", but its still a basic frame So this is not a song at all so why has it got the fame It's no wonder people alter the words with monkeys in the zoo And looking like these critters and smelling like them too Or changed to bread and butter in the gutter or squashed tomatoes and stew Because the song is so boring so what else can you do Who the hell wrote this song was it someone who's autistic Come on now lets be frank and a bit more realistic If I where to write this song producers would go ballistic I'd get thrown out of the biz and become a lost statistic Just because it's your birthday I'm not singing about happy People are compelled to sing when really its just ****** It's not the best song in the world I don't want to sound so snappy The birthday song is full of crap just like a soiled ***** It's like we are pre programmed even Marilyn Monroe To sing the ****** birthday song just for ****** show But honestly this song is crap and it can surely go And we can stop with the pretence and cease going with the flow When your birthday does arrive and your expecting a big day The time will come when you know your ears are going to pay Cos someone's bound to start it with or without your say Why does it have to be sung does it have to be this way Singing the birthday song should not be a life compulsion Don't succumb to the trend and quash your minds impulsion   Stamp down on the process and enforce a song expulsion Do away with this song and all of its revulsion The birthday song is not a song when it's sixteen words long Half of them are happy birthday that doesn't constitute a song The wording is so ****** thin as thin as a snapped thong And the musical arrangement isn't even strong People should not sing this song not even a small bit Why is it classed as a song we should stop singing it Most of the words are the same and there is a lack of wit So don't sing the birthday song cos it's not a song it's ****

Black blueberries buttoned by ***** Black blueberries buttoned by ***** This wasn't yours to loose Nothing was yours to loose Black blueberries backed by bench men Bench men that sit on side lines Thinking When will the golden moment be To break through; proving themselves Worthy of the benched boxes they be in Everyday Because They believe in benevolence Black blueberries busting through my ***** Black blueberries busting through my ***** Better than bullets Better than bullets Better than bombs and turrets Better than ballistic knifes and skillets And arsenals of ignorance bettered with bills Bills I pay to ensure my life is ready to die Is it a matter of our collective thoughts? Those black blueberries are buried And not because I am becoming a black blueberry I say this But because life begins with black blueberries Who all turn into nothing but pale ***** All conformed Not to natural laws But to the cognitive bacterial infection Called education Turning us to blue blueberries Blue blueberries And grand building bannered with ******** Black blueberries are bored Black blueberries are right Black blueberries are always right…

(the tics will talk 'til twelve o'clock) When we make time, When we listen: The theistic preach deistic talk; The atheistic preach pragmatic talk; The agnostic preach proleptic talk; The heretic preach shismatic talk; The mystic preach prophetic talk. (the mesianic and satanic never stop) When we have time; Then we listen: The optimistic teach hypnotic talk; The pessimistic teach sarcastic talk; The altruistic teach empathetic talk; The idealistic teach synergistic talk; The pacifistic teach semantic talk; The body politic teach charismatic talk; The technocratic teach robotic talk; The romantic teach poetic talk; The critic teach cathartic talk; The moralistic teach dualistic talk; The ascetic teach platonic talk. (the artist would rather not talk) When we find time, Do we listen: The lunatic speak quizzotic talk; The neurotic speak pathetic talk; The chauvanistic speak monistic talk; The nihilistic speak ballistic talk; The hedonist speak narcissistic talk; The futuristic speak galactic talk. (the minimalist hasn't the time to talk) Just don't. Look. Some tic reset the clock.

Apocalyptic Talk
Monday It has come to my attention, that someone has been stealing from the communal fridge. I notice that my own personal milk with my name on the bottle is half empty, also three fingers of my kitkat are missing. Please refrain, or action will be taken. Tuesday It has come to my attention, and I’m pleasantly surprised to see my milk has been topped up, though, why two fingers of my kitkat in a V sign beggars belief. Just tasted my milk, you ***** ******* I will now be monitoring the fridge from my office. You will be caught. Wednesday It has come to my attention, the camera monitoring the fridge is now monitoring the ladies toilet. This is intolerable, you are usurping my authority. Heads will roll. I will now be moving the fridge into my office till further notice. Thursday It has come to my attention, my office has been penetrated, the fridge is missing, and I find a ransom note on my desk. I don’t know who you people think you're dealing with, but let me leave you in no doubt, I will find out who you are, and you will be dismissed. Friday It has come to my attention, a delivery of fifty fridges is cluttering up the whole building, management is going ballistic. I concede to your demands, please get rid of them. Let us get back to you taking my milk and my biscuits, my job, my life. Just leave me alone. Thank you.

The Fridge.
I don’t even know where all of this insane energy came from. I’m sitting here going completely ballistic. Off The WALL! People ask me if I’m ok… I look like I’m having a seizure. I’m fine. More than, actually. I can hardly focus on anything. The sensation keeps ripping through all of my fibers. I’m being confined to my seat, and I’m going MAD! I want to just run away with all my energy. Stand up on the table singing “I’m the Tops!” Scream all around the Grand Canyon to hear myself. All I CAN do is sit in my chair. Bopping my head, Tapping my fingers, Jittering my legs, Slapping my feet… I don’t know what to do… All of this energy came rushing through my body. Who knows where it all came from. Help me. Before I crash…

All I know is monsters All I see is a cold world that gets darker as the *** stir's The future blurs to a point its so obscure it's not yours Can't seem to stop words from causing me to go backwards Maybe I need to go back and relearn like toddlers in diapers There's no cures All the fibers of my being are withering away like dead flowers Retreating like cowards The more I try the worse I fail, a living hell, crunch the numbers I've done the math, a chalk board full of blunders Nightmares occurring with my eyes wide shut It's more then a rut A candidate to win? Nope, I have a losing ballot No safety blanket and no bright colors on my pallet Hollow and cryptic Revisit the past like I'm stuck to it with a rivet This isn't just unfortunate it's inadequate Chew off my arm to be free or just cannibalistic Can I even resist it? This dark army that I have enlisted For to long happy never even existed And you wonder why I tend go ballistic... Man, *** this $hit! ©2018

This season we're going all out And I mean ballistic We ain't pulling no punches Taking out all the stops Were gonna go mad Talk,talk ,talk Go, go go! I'm talking about road trips to nowhere Bar hoping like alcoholic amphibians Bus rides to The Big City Cliff jumping Hold our breaths as the fireworks launch themselves into the summer evening sky and explode As we dance and sing of wonderful things Debouched *** Experimenting with sense derangement Study the spiritual teaching from the far east Make the suburbans myths that will never fade Roller coaster calamities Visit strip clubs under the unfinished highway Lay back on a crowded beach and float in the ocean Hike in the wilderness up a torrent mountain And when we reach the top we'll howl at the moon in the starry midnight air We will write compelling manifestos of freedom And we will not sleep We will grow stronger, wiser And when fall comes we will be new We'll be alive We will have known what it means to live Live Live

Somebody put me out of my misery, I've been struck by a curious malady: I can't seem to stop writing sappy poetry! Perhaps it's *** my muse is ineffable, Can't help if that makes her indelible. Now the evidence lies before your very eyes, That she as cause and culprit should pay the price For all of my absurd sentimentalities Is a result of her bewitchful tendencies: Bore a mighty wordsmith out of a hopeless romantic. Now this whole shebang might drive me ballistic As time passes I can't seem to find a problem with that though My muse, my lady malady: Fine, I'll be the lunatic Now wouldn't that be poetic??

Humble beginnings To the bitter ends Frantic boot heels Optical illusions The **** of a joke Last but not least Whatsoever Then again Telegram a trigger word Dangle from an umbilical chord   Eat the placenta As the deadlines fluctuate And the ambivalence Is sealed in a canopic jar It's experimental Mental experiences It's elemental exemplary mentality It's explicit To solicit The illicit And go ballistic        -Tommy Johnson They're so generous To call me and my work sui generis I'm just inter-being To learn from ignorance By my own volition To achieve total consciousness   "Of all the nerve you sure got a lot of some of it" Coming from oblivion Ideas composing The appreciation Imagination turn into materialization Expand and contract The sensation of feeling We crave and we cling Becoming, we're born A phase, we age Sickness and death Cessation, ratify or deny Die gratified These are the type of things we discussed in the Agora, all those times ago        -Tommy Johnson

Independent/Dependent Variable Arising
Its very eyes demand existence Its complexion is as dark as night Its mouth oozes with uncertainty Its presence demands fright One cannot just stare into its eyes without losing oneself in the dark Its words beckons the strong Then eats them like a shark With this monster There is no discrimination With this monster There is only intimidation Its trials are absolute hell Its games are sadistic Laying obstacle after obstacle Until someone goes ballistic This mysterious monster has but one name Its occupation is this: an abuser Its a name that strikes fear in all but the brave Its name is this: the future

Stack the bodies higher Stack them for the empire People want more cash So they sell harmful weapons They don't mind the ash Made of victims of aggression Like collateral children in Yemen Who are needlessly sent to heaven Or the schoolchildren in Florida Who had to go face the coroner These children only know what we teach them So how come the only things that can reach them Are our weapons And deadly directions? Because of lobbyists like the NRA Using logic from the seventh grade To create a coalition of those who believe what they're told And those unwilling to change because they're too old And adults who desperately want their toys Even if it means the death of little boys So the bodies continue to stack to the sky For people who dream of killing black guys Black in the sense that they don't know who they are They just want to feel hard Stuck in a childish fantasy of protecting their home Or a petulant fear of the unknown Their economic gain Causes ballistic pain Inside their bullet rain Innocence circles the drain But we must make decisions together Even with the emotionally severed In order to make our society better Until then our children get deader They use uncertainty to buy time And convince the masses That the real problem is crime To create rhetoric molasses Because they make a living From us dying They don't mind bullet giving Until we're lying Six feet under The guns sound like thunder Warning of an approaching lightning storm Where the rain drops stab us to our core Then mix with the blood on the floor Until civilization is no more I hear loud guns Then I hear church bells I walk in the sun But the foul dirt smells Of the corpses of countless kids Representing high contract bids And the tears of their mothers That are swept under the covers By those with no empathy That cause only entropy Then they expect to live near us A gun will make them hear us

So many words between us— The caustic breech of abatement, ruin Runs atonal, in recitals of indifference, How even the ****** birds now sound Discordant and rain crushes as it falls, Ballistic. The pinprick stars are merely eyes Undraped to the worn soul's veil And gorgon time roils setting our feet In the crust of wishes and delusions Kept. The bullet riddled skies in absence Of colour are but particulates of lime To the moonless night. Words have no Eyes, they can only finger. O the sorrows of the untouched— The cruelty of the sightless and bent blind, Drab vermillion stars felled like forced tears.

What is it, Really? Is it an abstract state we reach when we achieve something? A virtue spent avoiding the ***** of tomorrow while the sands of time sift through This gaping hole. A mole inside each and everyone's head. Is it a fulfilled part of humanity where everything is just sanity And this dilemma becomes a person who lives, & walks away? And will that person ever become a joy in the end Undone by all those spent virtues For just a vacation? A breather from all the stress, accumulated by the success That became a mess Just to prove a point. **** me running, with the laws of the world Stunning the harlot from today. Time lapses while the world relaxes and the system Just unfolds, on the better winding Yesterday. But the real question remains, the phase that we relate to The daze that crazes us while we smile; What happens when we succeed and THEN sleep with the ********** of life? Oh that ***** Sadistic, realistic, ballistic, narcissistic, A stick up the *** of everyone who smiled, The seducing failure becomes a part of you While you do what you never do And you move when the world revolves. And now in the end, the meanings that won't mend The trend becomes collapse. And your absent mind, becomes your reality.

The Shame of Life
Dotta swung and he missed Time for him to cease and desist After Ren went ballistic Because he couldn’t resist The allure of a battle Using words like their fists Landing blow after blow Without a beat to assist We witnessed a burial An end to a reign But all that king Dotta was.. Was a true royal pain A husky, sad, clout chaser Vanilla, quite plain Who failed in his attempt To perform; entertain Ren showed his ferocity, his ability, his skills He speared his first whale Despite Dotta not having gills But Ren gave him a lifeline Without showing any ill will Offering all he can eat On a buffet filled with krill One million subscribers Sent to consume and digest King Dotta’s music Of which I’ve been unimpressed But the message from Ren Was really quite clear As the words spilled from his lips “A rising tide, lifts all ships”

King Dotta/Ren Rap Battle Take
Unrealistically going ballistic on premature political whistle blowing of missing ballistic missiles. Rumors round the fickle frowns trickling down around town, WMD's never found. Media drowns out our original intent with swayed day-to-day comments about potential evidence or contents of secret documents or undisturbed "security clearancegate". Still secret and still unclear year-to-date.... our eroded freedoms now appurtenances as consequence. The missing  missiles long ago hidden or moved like agendas with chess-master finesse. Citizens chide "You lied!! Confess!" Behooving you proves nothing in bringing relief to your beliefs, thieving your freedoms and Commander in Chief. Lectures on conjecture don't secure a future. It's almost "Au Revior" american cars and mortgages, hype puts the scarred afar Stars and Stripes Bail Bonds Czars in business. Meanwhile billions are spent to rebuild the countries invaded without consent. The Banks are saved but don't repent. Far enough away to keep my iniquity a bay for today. I clearly see what is before me, but respond not to my thoughts as I was taught. Septed in guilt, wept in filth kept in tilt loss is coming, should have flossed. The long term costs tossed aside. Just another day I drive away from the driveway rarely driven to lie longer or lie down somber, striving for stronger days lost, feels wrong though. I still go. Pay the tolls. Stop and go. Fill the daily paying role outside my dreams and goals. Play generic background music while my soul's on hold waiting for the next available operator. Just another day, a way to stay alive and not lie down in hunger, paying for my blunders, staving off my heart's quiet thunder, my dreams and wonders. I still get up. I still go. Bills to pay. Traffic's slow. I mute the radio. -R. Craig David-Copyright 2007
