"barr" poems
My body is a temple My bleeding is divine My womanhood is spiritual In ways that an intolerant devotee like you cannot understand So when you barr me from entering Sabarimala Remember that you can't stop a goddess Saraswati is wise but her rage is wild and merciless Lakshmi will create earthquakes that will devastate Durga will pierce your heart with her spear Parvathi will leave her abode and run into the streets Kali will destroy you in unimaginable ways They reside within us We will cut our feet on your shattered glass We will shout till our voices become hoarse An army of neglected women will create a tsunami Till you're on your back, crying Till you give up your apparent 'religion-saving' Helpless, wailing And bleeding

Philip Le Barr, Was knock down by a car, On the road to Mandalay. He was knocked down again By a dust cart in Spain And again in Zanzibar. So, He travled at night In the pale moon light Away from the traffic growl But terrible luck He was hit by a duck Driven by an owl.

Philip Le Barr
XVIII Cyriack, whose Grandsire on the Royal Bench Of Brittish Themis, with no mean applause Pronounc’t and in his volumes taught our Lawes, Which others at their Barr so often wrench: To day deep thoughts resolve with me to drench In mirth, that after no repenting drawes; Let Euclid rest and Archimedes pause, And what the Swede intend, and what the French. To measure life, learn thou betimes, and know Toward solid good what leads the nearest way; For other things mild Heav’n a time ordains, And disapproves that care, though wise in show, That with superfluous burden loads the day, And when God sends a cheerful hour, refrains.

everything I do hurts you, my happiness stresses you out my energi smother yours, highlights your loss of it the same way the kind gestures show me your weariness I am well and you aren't   I would take it all in a nano second but I can’t I’ve tried but I can’t I play tired and I play sick I’ve tried to show that we’re the same but i know   it doesn’t make you less sick not a single bit all I can do is to grow and try to hold your hand even if you’re left behind and all this, all this until death will tear us apart. I can feel the normality sending a friend request to death I can feel time accepting it I start to recognize the blended soft colors and the feeling of life coming and going just hoping it isn’t in my hand. I am turning into someone else I say I’m happy because I know it matters We have one thing in common here we don’t complain because the nurses teach us that’s what kills us in the end I try to stand up outside all of it I try to feel like anything else matters but it doesn’t I’m scared my happiness somewhere else takes away the happiness we have until death tears us apart I take the buss back home I leave you behind I fake my way up to sit at the top so that I can see I have a photo of you on my phone to remember just in case you would go away It’s a new feeling a mix between everything and nothing I write it down because I can’t loose these seconds just in case you would go away It makes life feel so important It makes everything else feel stupid. It makes you stronger It makes everything heavy and all you can is hope, hope that it’s not until death tears us apart There’s a pregnant woman who wants my seat I let her have it I go all the way back I pass one with a burn mark on his face I wonder how many tears have happened the last ten minutes on this buss I wonder how they take it I don’t know how I take it I know the barr is lower here the scary part isn’t getting sick here it’s dying and in that case I know I’m the lucky one   Until death happens to me and I feel happiness knowing I’m the lucky one   I can be light flying over a bridge while everybody else takes the buss until your death will tear me apart.

until death tears us apart
everything I do hurts you, my happiness stresses you out my energi smother yours, highlights your loss of it the same way the kind gestures show me your weariness I am well and you aren't   I would take it all in a nano second but I can’t I’ve tried but I can’t I play tired and I play sick I’ve tried to show that we’re the same but i know   it doesn’t make you less sick not a single bit all I can do is to grow and try to hold your hand even if you’re left behind and all this, all this until death will tear us apart.

Fond of love? Is it not? With whom do I speak about? Is it the heart? A mere transaction between the heart and the love that it gives Takes Moves and listens to each And every Single Day. I feel… Yet there is no presenter. No one to share, No one to give. No supplier, provider. There is a house, Yet it is no home. No place to reside. What I feel is an experience worth the ride. I bought plane tickets this time. A one way ticket to wherever it can take me. Prescribe me the medication, the antidote. Respond to my prayers with a challenge, rather than a definition. Give me the reason I long for, simply Because I ask for it. Love. Give it to me. Feed it to me, Make it melt in my mouth, at the tip of my tongue. Let it linger, Whisper my name, Romance at the calm of my voice. Feel my words against yours. Trial my heart. Adore. Bestow upon her the True Meaning Of Love. The distinction between a kiss, And a hug. The conceptual, intangible evidence that she is looking for. Hurt? Pain? No more. What I feel is the reaction to love. There can only be pain Where there is a heart. This can go on for as long as it can be taken. I have been beat up by love, Yet I refuse for it to take advantage. It will challenge me indefinitely, until I learn what it dares not bring forth at ease. Afraid, withdrawn. Confused, Wishing for a moment. My heart is weak. Tired of the constant reciprocation of negative energy feeding at her. Eating her alive. Heart. Love, Striking her. Take it. Take it. Not for an eternity, rather, For a moment. Stand up and fight for it. A feeling deep inside waiting to let go. Please, Take it. I dare not wish to fight another day. She says. She says She loves him. She says that she wants to be with him. Another heart to hold, Another heart to handle. Another heart to feel, and be loved by. A heart scorned by the misinterpretation of the mind however. An emotion that remains, Sitting As if there was no other place. Without love I do not seek to be found. With it, I am everything. I am a journey with no end, No signs telling me where to go, what to do, who to love and who to be without. Love. Shut up and take it. Barr up the doors! Continue to hide in safety. Create your own world, Within the lies you constantly tell yourself. Day to day You sit and embrace your own heart, Your own hourglass. In hope of one day someone else loving you the way that love does. The word is simply a word. The actions are actions, And the pain is pain. The feeling is feeling, The emotion is emotion. What is love is love, What gives what receives are what we call motivation. Fond of love I am. It is not pain that I speak of. It is the heart. Worthy of any and every transaction between itself and love and I live in it Each And Every Single Day.

Lord God that dost me save and keep, All day to thee I cry; And all night long, before thee weep Before thee prostrate lie. Into thy presence let my praier With sighs devout ascend And to my cries, that ceaseless are, Thine ear with favour bend. For cloy’d with woes and trouble store Surcharg’d my Soul doth lie, My life at death’s uncherful dore Unto the grave draws nigh. Reck’n'd I am with them that pass Down to the dismal pit I am a *man, but weak alas * Heb. A man without manly And for that name unfit. strength. From life discharg’d and parted quite Among the dead to sleep And like the slain in ****** fight That in the grave lie deep. Whom thou rememberest no more, Dost never more regard, Them from thy hand deliver’d o’re Deaths hideous house hath barr’d. Thou in the lowest pit profound’ Hast set me all forlorn, Where thickest darkness hovers round, In horrid deeps to mourn. Thy wrath from which no shelter saves Full sore doth press on me; *Thou break’st upon me all thy waves, *The Heb. *And all thy waves break me bears both. Thou dost my friends from me estrange, And mak’st me odious, Me to them odious, for they change, And I here pent up thus. Through sorrow, and affliction great Mine eye grows dim and dead, Lord all the day I thee entreat, My hands to thee I spread. Wilt thou do wonders on the dead, Shall the deceas’d arise And praise thee from their loathsom bed With pale and hollow eyes ? Shall they thy loving kindness tell On whom the grave hath hold, Or they who in perdition dwell Thy faithfulness unfold? In darkness can thy mighty hand Or wondrous acts be known, Thy justice in the gloomy land Of dark oblivion? But I to thee O Lord do cry E’re yet my life be spent, And up to thee my praier doth hie Each morn, and thee prevent. Why wilt thou Lord my soul forsake, And hide thy face from me, That am already bruis’d, and *shake *Heb. Prae Concussione. With terror sent from thee; Bruz’d, and afflicted and so low As ready to expire, While I thy terrors undergo Astonish’d with thine ire. Thy fierce wrath over me doth flow Thy threatnings cut me through. All day they round about me go, Like waves they me persue. Lover and friend thou hast remov’d And sever’d from me far. They fly me now whom I have lov’d, And as in darkness are.

Low Barr Haiku
I handed in my homework Gave it with a nervous smile the paper damp from sweaty palms, the waiting was a trial. Today I got my paper back from the dreaded Mr Barr he grinned at me and gave a wink.... along with an A*! He said I made him chuckle as he read my little rhyme, he thought the rhyming clever and the rhythm quite sublime He asked me one last question in the hallway where we met with deep concern upon his brow "Did you find your brother yet?" Now I'm hiding in the bathroom racing with the lesson bell quickly writing this wee poem to let you know my work did well.

Pinky Promise....the sequel.
Collared for white collar, To society I'm paying my dues The Trump appointee Club Fed blues. The beds are pretty clean and soft, At Club Fed, they hardly cost Shootin' shuffleboard, takin' a snooze Just forgettin' the Club Fed blues The **** beach aint just ahead Club Fed just aint the Club Med At 3-pm, it's tea and cake Every night supper-- it's Trump steak The cash register rings, it's all his take. They're adding on to the Club Fed thing, A spanking new Congressional wing Having latte with a Trumper con He whines,"I'm no Don, I was just a pawn." On the ladies side, want to meet Lori, the College Admission cheat No black ink pen tattoos Just plain old Club Fed blues Bill Barr and Rudy sit at table Remembering when they were on cable Just spinning another Ukrainian fable Missing my 5-pm yardarm ***** A stiff price to pay, the Club Fed blues When I leave it's to the Caribbean To a fat numbered account And I'll finally lose the Club Fed blues.

Losin' the Club Fed Blues
Defrauding the public isn't hard When you're one of the Trumps. The president is especially good At duping his loyal chumps. So, after Trump fired James Comey, He fired AG Sessions. Those two firings were just a part Of the president's indiscretions. Next came Matthew Whitaker-- A Donald Trump lackey-- As acting AG, and whose background Was--let's say--a bit tacky. Now AG Barr is there To willingly play his part And show how he and Trump are both Connected heart to heart. Barr's recent appointment has Very clearly shown That the president has managed To get his Roy Cohn. Keeping Congress from seeing the full Mueller report, Barr Acts LESS like a fair AG And MORE like a czar. Flouting the rule of law, Trump And Barr, political hacks, Can end up doing a lot of damage Behind Americans' backs. Now Barr has mentioned the word "Spying." It never fails That Trump's appointees tend to go Completely off the rails. Making Trump a victim only Satisfies his base. Trump and Barr don't care whether Their actions are a disgrace. Now the tinfoil-hat group can say "All the acrimony Toward Trump is a nasty plot." What a bunch of baloney! Our leadership has never been So chaotic. Never! Elections, they say, have consequences. Boy do they ever! -by Bob B (4-11-19)

I wish I could fly. If I could I would. I'd come get you ! I'd soar towards the heavens and come get you. Distance wouldn't be an issue but a nuisance. It'll never Barr us away . For I'll come get you. Steal all of you in the dark of the night like thieves, And we'll fly high above the mountains. High above the clouds. And the let the winds carry us home. You'd never be alone. I'd come get you. Whenever you felt so.

We used to walk this road together hand in hand And make melody with rhythms that none could understand We used to mark this pathway under this sunlight And trust it's direction as we walk it through the night Then came the winds and swept away our sandy shores Forcing trees to bend over windows and barr all our doors Tranquillity once lived with us but we didn’t know what for Until one day, we woke up to chaos, and she was no more Without warnings or announcement she just packed a left From sunrise we searched until the sun had set But all we ever found were memories she left behind The memories of strength before the winds broke her spine There used to be us before the coming of the rain Before there ever was the sowing of a seed of grain Tales of the bond we shared crossed the shores of everywhere There used to be us before we vanished into thin air

THE DEVIL DOES EXIST
By: Cedric McClester From his 19-page Audition memo, ya knew That he would do the job He was hired to do Protect the President Through and though And stir up a caldron Of ******* brew Our Attorney General Is William Barr And he views the President Much like a czar Or better yet He sees him on par With every dictator Near or far My mission here Is not to spoil it But Barr’s reputation Is now in the toilet He’s clearly a waste And we need to boil it Or rise up in mass To combat this **** Just think about it It makes perfect sense That William Barr Would mount a defense For a tainted President So therefore and hence He’s as much of an ass-kiss As Vice President Pence Cedric McClester, Copyright © 2019.  All rights reserved.

FROM HIS 19-PAGE MEMO YA KNEW...
To my followers ( though the numbers be few) I weep crocodile tears for you (dry as they may be) that you unfortunately didn't get to read my latest poem, "My Wife is a Sheep".  It was barred.  Censored.  Monitored. Deleted. Not posted.   Oh the humanity!         Again I crossed some line.  So I'll begrudgingly acknowledge it, in a gun to my back sort of way, and apologize to the Hello poetry monitors.  Why apologize?     I don't want the sensors, monitors - **** overlords, here at Hello Poetry to be angry and on a warpath out to get me. So I'm sending them each a box of happy chocolates telepathically to mentally stupify their minds and sooth them in their misunderstanding and assure them that my writings inflict no harm to them or to Hello Poetry. I'm a good buddy. I'm a friend... Love you!  Give us a little freedom of speech for heaven sake.  After all, freedom of speech is an amendment guaranteed by law.  Your not against laws, freedom, the Constitution, America are you?        I'm one of the world's last remaining shock poets and even I'm becoming extinct. You wouldn't want that to happen would you? I'm an endangered species!     How can I reach full realization as a writer if I'm censured. How can I blossom and flower as a poet, and let my stamen dangle in the wind for the bees to land on and take away my gooey nectar (uh oh, could be a ****** reference -- Let's barr it, censor it, delete it, not post it).      Ultimately, how can I be the "go to guy" shock poet if I can't be shocking? When a reader wakes up and feels like a dose of shock poetry to start his day, and I'm not around, what will they do?      My advice to you Hello Poetry monitors is to go out and do something shocking!  Feel it's rush. Roll around in its essence. Revel in its pump.  Then  you'll see. you'll be like me. Liberated.  So free....now relax and repeat after me. I love shock poetry...shock poetry......shock poetry....

The following is not a paid advertisement. It is the truth. It is arguably plausible for me to state that I received the best secondary and higher education in the world. I graduated from Phillips Academy (more commonly referred to as Andover now), the oldest boarding school in America founded in 1778, two years after our nation was founded. Andover and its sequel, Exeter, it seems, now take turns being voted the best high school in the United States. Though I received an essentially unequalled secondary education at Andover, I paid an exorbitant social and emotional cost to receive it. The years I spent at Andover were the worst of my life. I chose to matriculate to Columbia College, the tradional undergraduate liberal arts school of Columbia University, over Yale for principally two main reasons:  the Core Curriculum and New York City. More years at Yale would be like returning to Andover, anathema to me. The Core Curriculum, now over 100 years old, is a rigorous, two-year course of studies that include philosophy, literature. art, music, language, frontiers of science, and writing. All College students, regardless of her or his majors, must take all the Core courses, which, in turn, make them learned for life. Columbia College is the only Ivy school to have anything like the Core. Living in and exploring New York City, the veritable capital of the world, for four years makes one a Citizen of the World for life, even if one decides to reside elsewhere after graduating, as I did. I now live in Boulder, CO. Columbia College's 2019 admit rate was 5.1%. Columbia College admitted a few over 2,000 applicants out of slightly over 42,000 applicants worldwide, making Columbia College the second most selective school in the Ivy League. 5.1 % admit rate:  that's about 1 out of 20. But even Columbia has its "bad apples:"  Roy Cohn comes to mind readily. So does William Barr.

CAN WE PROFIT OFF IT?
The following is not a paid advertisement. It is the truth. It is arguably plausible for me to state that I received the best secondary and higher education in the world. I graduated from Phillips Academy (more commonly referred to as Andover now), the oldest boarding school in America founded in 1778, two years after our nation was founded. Andover and its sequel, Exeter, it seems, now take turns being voted the best high school in the United States. Though I received an essentially unequalled secondary education at Andover, I paid an exorbitant social and emotional cost to receive it. The years I spent at Andover were the worst of my life. I chose to matriculate to Columbia College, the tradional undergraduate liberal arts school of Columbia University, over Yale for principally two main reasons:  the Core Curriculum and New York City. More years at Yale would be like returning to Andover, anathema to me. The Core Curriculum, now over 100 years old, is a rigorous, two-year course of studies that include philosophy, literature. art, music, language, frontiers of science, and writing. All College students, regardless of her or his majors, must take all the Core courses, which, in turn, make them learned for life. Columbia College is the only Ivy school to have anything like the Core. Living in and exploring New York City, the veritable capital of the world, for four years makes one a Citizen of the World for life, even if one decides to reside elsewhere after graduating, as I did. I now live in Boulder, CO. Columbia College's 2019 admit rate was 5.1%. Columbia College admitted a few over 2,000 applicants out of slightly over 42,000 applicants worldwide, making Columbia College the second most selective school in the Ivy League. 5.1 % admit rate:  that's about 1 out of 20. But even Columbia has its "bad apples:"  Roy Cohn comes to mind readily. So does William Barr. But it also has Barach Obama. 84 students who studied or professors who taught there won the Nobel Prize. So what to do with this piece CAN WE PROFIT OFF IT? It sees to me that the maxim  DO UNTO OTHERS...is rapidly being supplanted by CAN WE PROFIT OFF IT?

INCONCLUSIVE
A little girl was born in a square mile a babylondoner, February child, who had many sheep disguises , born in the hour of the sheep, in a house on the street where the Shepherdess Walked, travelling on the underground, one would have to stop, at Angel.  Her Father called her after him, by all accounts she was the prettiest child, his fourth, her father was very vain, on this subject, it was hard for him to be humble. Her name also had sheep, her name meant sheep, her middle name a Ram on a King. Her Father worried about the violence, the football hooligans , the fights between mods and rockers, he decided to move back to the homecountry, the country of her Mother and Fathers birth, the Emerald Isle.  This coincided with an eviction notice, their house was about to get knocked down.    She moved to the plain of the Yew in the Emerald isle when she was four years old, they built a house in the town of the Castle by the river Barr, on a height that was named Harmony, that place did not often live up to it's name.  Her father came from another town that was much prettier, not far away, houses and land were as rare as hen's teeth, in that town, it was not cheap either.  Her Mother had an idea she wanted distance from her Mother in law, Rachel Ramona and her mother clashed a lot on ideas, but they did love each other, and Rachel understood her Mother, better than her Mother gave her credit for.   To RRK, her Mother was never there for her, her Mother had an issue with her, that is a puzzle to this day, it will probally always remain a puzzle, her Mother never talks about stuff like emotions, feelings, or the inner landscape. RRK found refuge in the world of men from the youngest age, she felt like she belonged in that camp, this idea got her into a lot of trouble, then, now and probally in her immediate future.

Five women transcend the stag cinema of hoary yore Shauna Grant, the first glamorous **** bucket, paved the way for Dorothy Stratten, the first Playmate superstar: Anastasia Blue's Russian underground cult of Gonzo; Julie Robbins thriving fan base; Candy Barr, mother to them et al, first **** star & premier stripper. Amber Rayne who crossed over to mainstream always the dream, following legends in the field such as Marilyn Chambers & Traci Lords. If there were pageants in hell, the one who would take the crown would be Linda Lovelace, whose effect upon the culture is felt to this day.

Dead **** Stars
"William Barr is my name, But you can call me AG Barr. Protecting Donald Trump must be The highlight of my repertoire. "I'll defy the rule of law, And I don't give a **** if I'm-- Despite what others say or think-- A sly accomplice to his crime." "Lindsey Graham is my name, Call me Senator Graham, please. Selling one's soul to the devil is Where I have my expertise. "I don't care if Trump's corrupt Or stretches the truth all the time. If he furthers my goals, I will Be an accomplice to his crime." "Devin Nunes is my name, But you can just call me Devin. Having Trump as president Is a right-wing extremist's heaven. "If you want to obstruct justice, Follow the president's paradigm. Give up your integrity AND Be an accomplice to his crime." "Sarah Sanders is my name. I am THE press secretary. Whenever I lie for President Trump, I just say a quick Hail Mary. "Working for this president Is something that I'd call sublime. No one really cares if he Or she's an accomplice to his crime." So many people willing to lie-- So many people willing to begrime Their character and reputations As accomplices to the president's crime. -by Bob B (5-5-19)

An Accomplice to a Crime
Drawing 101 I wonder if I hung onto that self-portrait from my first college art class peering into a mirror contour line in pencil student grade sketch bond. Dave Barr would have to be what in his seventies by now? my first acquaintance with a practicing artist one with a studio and ideas that woke him up early. The twist I recall was to render one’s face forty years on warts and all as they say. As if by magic I’ve arrived suddenly at my destination one I predicted using only line to map sagging jowls, face etched and a nose grown to epic proportion. At least that’s how I remember it a masterpiece of draftsmanship that captured the soul of its subject, a man rendered in short hand, gaze bewildered when I was going for bemused detachment.
