"brutes" poems
She is equipped with sensitive ******* and those other secret places that ladies give out as prizes to deserving guys as long as they adopt the right disguises of gods, gurus, intellectual giants, goats, children, father figures, macho brutes, sugar-daddies, supermen, seminal vessels, house-repairers, jar openers, jocks, hate objects, handy shoulders to cry on, emotional support systems, sensitive, intuitive, yet strong silent types who can also pay the bills, tall dark and handsome total strangers, toy boys, clowns, jugglers, jokers, millionaires, wood choppers, ******* removers, bottomless reservoirs of reassurance or just plain spunky studs when the moon is right. In fact, anything but woffly wimps. Oh God, no.  Anything but woffly wimps. Yes, but what about stoic, steadfast SNAGS, you know, the Sensitive New Age Guys who won’t face-shift for a **** Yes, well, let's try to sum all this up here right now. I think that the woman is dripping with a brimming reservoir of luscious and sensitive resources on tap for   the man who can figure out her cosmic kaleidoscope   of swirling dreams and desires, which is definitely not to say she can’t be totally independent. Although please don't be confused. Friendly boy-next-door types who are handsome, aren't too hairy, who like to laugh, who have a boyish braggadocio, who are students, who appear to be intellectuals, who are not nerds, and who can **** it in the kitchen, who  can be oh, so cool, who can convince a maiden that she is in distress, and is in need of rescuing, while he has a swaggering hard-on will do, too. Oooh. You devil. And if you think this poem is misogynist, misanthropic or myopic, well, I’ve been around and by now, well, I really should be panoptic because I’ve seen all the fads, and really, it’s sadly too bad about those poor old earnest SNAGS. But you know what? I don't think I understand anything, because I'm really a victim of worshiping women. I'm bedazzled and as blind as the next man, and yes, I'm just happy whenever I'm with them.

I rise impalpable from poked and scattered ash. Memories from the 20 years I lived leave a crimson rash on my skin once as white as snow. the skin they began to scar when I was 11, too young to know that they were not just scars. they were the marks on the bark of a green, tender tree- marks of men (or brutes?)- wild and untamed. there was nothing left of innocence, nothing left of rainbows. I did not have my days to play- instead I was being played with. I, a delicate ***** white, stripped and whipped and sold. a love-bit nape, blackened sight, named the girl of gold. but no more, no more. I have risen from the depth with my soft body rugged and sour breath and teeth marks on my collarbone- like it was only yesterday. men and their laughs- tormenting and know-all, conspiring my fall. Now that I'm awake, risen from my grave- (they were kind to give me one) I shall give them back the scars they etched upon my heart, I shall give them back the pain. the little purple bruises. I shall torture them quite insane and they would die, they would eventually die with regrets- regrets not confessed. I would return to my grave and smile, maybe laugh the manly laugh- tormenting and know-all, I would be their fall.

DAME RANCOR.
O blessed night I am feared For I am a black man who can't shake spears thrown at him on the daily. High courts let us get clipped by Brutus- clipped by brutes in fact a loose noose can hang you from any platform Oxygen doesn't transcend class Eric wasn't the first nor last unable to Garner breath I... Cant... Breath. Bill Cosby's first words after sentencing Sandra Bland's last thoughts before being propped up I ride around my city feeling Gray inside, DEAD inside wondering if convenient transportation is worth my life. Othello ruled this nation for eight years yet noble souls are still treated as peasants. I mean if all the worlds a stage, then why do they play us only when we're players or when the play, us.

Fatima Latima I had wished I had no gift of sight That the worst I could endure is hear you speak And not snapshot the footfall of your gradation You may not be a thief Nor **** daughter of the dayspring But definitely my heart you stole I speak of the daughter of Arabia Aesthetically, she rocks The queen of the pilgrim sands And aeonian desert stones Beyond the hijab Artistically knead with consummate craft Like the relics of Mecca Blest by the prophet’s bones The blessed I see torches Beaming with intelligence Within those mascaras Exquisitely trimmed and vibrant A lulu class botany She fixes a searching gaze As she saunters close And the stride and tread Beats a drum entrancing Soothed in her solacing spell I give in, to her lullaby She halts her perambulation Stands magniloquent and stupefy Like some pop diva magazine pose Or Victorian secret shot A tactical derangement of her gluteals As she rests her palm in its cleft I feel contractions, my dartos muscles The blew of summertime Gently beats her exceptional form Her belt submerge her thigh crevice Cleft by the sundered rift of fleshy fat Built by the dainties and delicacies Seasoned by the finest Arabian chef As her silken dress slithers and gowns Under the breeze bulging and blooming Like a rose blossom or sunflower fore As she bends down To assuage the burlesque The sun specula lilts her sensational Her smile apologetic bids me stillness I am caught staring Guzzling down her scent and Feasting on empty imaginations Of What If that accentuate the mind and Speed a hormone And I pray I sin no more Next time we meet and I see her again For I am but a writer Learning to use my pen and paper And hope you but forgive My linguistic impotence When I make my confession Employing too plain a language When I say thus; Her smile is classical Her walk magical Her beauty celestial Her stride sensational Her religion ethical Her character spotless And that leaves me breathless And forgive if I step on broken toe And try speak of the unspoken Her ****** is sacred Her being a type that dresses up In the milliards of brutes dressing down And shamelessly style it fashion I must see a priest One confession I ought to utter And even vociferate abroad For once I had fallen in love With an Arabian Beautie A ****** of Mecca.

Favorite word: “nymphet”, but no! Halcyon, a kind of drug, you know. Searching through the pages’ mist And imagined deeds Of poets’ needs… I found my favourite word, As asked, Neither sacred nor profane That describes the Venetian rain In my beloved’s eyes And the Florentine sun upon her hair: “Auburn, russet, mythopoeic”. Oh, it is not fair, To liken an object Of my lust and love To anything as mortal as autumn air! Nor “October’s orchard Haze”; She had her own Inscrutable, premeditated ways! Rather let me say that she was perfect, Though her eyes, pale and myopic, Her shuffling gait and Graceless limbs, to them Grace lends Fey charm, the power to mend My suffering and Delusions of a poet’s end As anything but pathetic, (Her mother’s fondness for vague emetics) And I left softly hanging, On a girl’s new taste, A tang of russet apples on her face, But no, not that, the sum Of my love, My Lo! Then her bleak demise, partly by my hand That none of you brutes could understand; The pure love, So sadly consummated, Between a lover And the one she hated Yet loved once with inexplicable delight, On one stolen, frightened night… In which the two of us agreed To satisfy a simple, yet maniacal need, And then depart… But I could not, You see; She was my life, My love, my heart. Humbert Humbert 1950 Sharon Talbot ca. 2005

October’s Orchard Haze
On the beach at night alone, As the old mother sways her to and fro, singing her husky song, As I watch the bright stars shining—I think a thought of the clef of the universes, and of the future. A vast similitude interlocks all, All spheres, grown, ungrown, small, large, suns, moons, planets, comets, asteroids, All the substances of the same, and all that is spiritual upon the same, All distances of place, however wide, All distances of time—all inanimate forms, All Souls—all living bodies, though they be ever so different, or in different worlds, All gaseous, watery, vegetable, mineral processes—the fishes, the brutes, All men and women—me also; All nations, colors, barbarisms, civilizations, languages; All identities that have existed, or may exist, on this globe, or any globe; All lives and deaths—all of the past, present, future; This vast similitude spans them, and always has spann’d, and shall forever span them, and compactly hold them, and enclose them.

On The Beach At Night, Alone
Some say you can't read someone's thoughts. Some claim to read them like a book. It's phantom pages may engage but I move on from thought to thought. Those readings choke like a bindweed cloak, coiling, twining, transmuting brutes. Stereotypes shape many folk, stifling, stunting valuable fruit.

Valuable Fruits
The Sun at noon to higher air, Unharnessing the silver Pair That late before his chariot swam, Rides on the gold wool of the Ram. So braver notes the storm-cock sings To start the rusted wheel of things, And brutes in field and brutes in pen Leap that the world goes round again. The boys are up the woods with day To fetch the daffodils away, And home at noonday from the hills They bring no dearth of daffodils. Afield for palms the girls repair, And sure enough the palms are there, And each will find by hedge or pond Her waving silver-tufted wand. In farm and field through all the shire The eye beholds the heart's desire; Ah, let not only mine be vain, For lovers should be loved again.

They began without notice, in the city of Mombasa By the Al shabab shooting baby Osinya in the head, Killed the mother, leaving a slug stuck in Osinya’s head Killing and mauling many others macabrously, Killing for no other reason, but tribe and faith, Their victims confess different religion and ethnicity.

with guns and knives stowed in our suits we may be called as sons of brutes but even in this place of fright we find our state of pure delight delight me with your cunning smile which makes false countries reconcile firm grip and all that attitude young girls will hope that you'd include include them in your precious mind and never leave them far behind it must have been your glorious hair that makes them stop and love and stare stare at your retreating back with me as selfish and intact in truth, when all is said and done you only have to raise your gun

I launched her with my small remaining band and, putting out to sea, we set the main on that lone ship and said farewell to land. Far to starboard rose the coast of Spain, astern was Sardi, Islas at our bow, and soon we saw Morocco port abeam. Though I and comrades now were old and slow, we hauled till nightfall for the narrow sound where Hercules had shown what not to do, by setting marks for men to stay behind. At dawn the starboard lookout made Seville, and at the straits stood Ceuta t'other hand. 'Brothers,' I shouted, 'who have had the will to come through danger, and have reached the west! our time awake is brief from now until the senses die, and so I say we test the sun's own motion and do not forego the worlds beyond, unknown and peopleless. Think of the roots from which you sprang, and show that you are human: not unconscious brutes but made to follow virtue and to know.'

Ulysses' Last Voyage
Mind, stabbing at trauma, so digusting. But escape, recognise the trauma of the earth. Given such devalued matter to feed on its whole existence, yet it always makes something beautiful. Blooming flowers, lofty trees, stormy mountains, seven seas. All the beauty in the world created by unappreciated benefactors. Maybe the repulsing brutes that taunt me so will grow into something beautiful.

We've climbed this mountain A mountain of homework and back stabber We may not have climbed together for all of it But we climbed together side by side now All the people trying to tear us down or drag us off But we won't let the other fall we keep each other on the path We've climbed this mountain We can see the end But our enemies can see us So near the top we threaten them They take aim attempting to knock us off Insults and snide remarks fly at us like bullets Violence always creeping towards us a dog of war We have been civil far to long to these brutes of failure We strike back now The harder they hit us the harder we hit back The mountain of high school is almost over we're not falling now Take aim my brother with your ****** rifle aimed at their deepest weakness Locked and loaded to tear them apart in front of everyone To rip their heart out for all to see Don't worry I've got your back My machine gun of cynical secrets gleaming for support. They won't drag us down They can't pull us back down We're at the top and moving on from this high school warfare

Highschool Warfare
The film starts with narration from Mother Nature herself, discussing an experiment with Father Time that went horribly wrong; On the fictional island of Wongo she has created a tribe where the men are brutish & ugly & the women exceedingly beautiful. She then creates another tribe on a nearby island called Goona where the women are repulsive & the men are strong and handsome; For years the two tribes lived unaware of each other's existence, until ape men from across the ocean attack the village of Goona. The tribe sends the son of their king to seek help against the invaders. The son finds the island of Wongo the day before the village men are to pick their brides & the women, seeing the handsome prince, begin questioning their life among the ugly brutes that dwell in their village. The men growing jealous of their visitor, plan to **** him. The women of Wongo, finding out about the plot, risk their lives to protect the handsome prince, in doing so offending the crocodile god of the Wongo people [portrayed by stock footage of a crocodile and rubber model]. The women are rounded up by the village men & sent into the wilderness until the reptile god has drawn blood for the slight; The women banding together, watch each other's backs until the ape men arrive at their village & the women dispatch the invaders to their god, the women then leave in search of the men that had abandoned the island of Wongo. In Goona, the men begin their rite of manhood, in which they go into the jungle without weapons for a month. The women of Wongo coming upon the weaponless men, decide to take advantage of their helplessness & one by one, claim them in marriage; The film concludes with all the beautiful men and women married & the ugly men with the ugly women.

A delicate crimson rose endures The snow and winds of winter's grasp And closes up and wilts a while Until Summer sun it finds at last In this world of unrighteousness Where brutes and ogres' egos roam And selfishness abounds like weeds She exists in shattered form With silent seething disilusion And saddened, unrequited love Maddened by the unjust acts of those who advertized their “love” A vain and self-indulgent god Did sieze himself her mind and oath Presiding as the demons do In hidden acts pronounced as gross Enduring the madness of matriarchs And the hostility of tribal gang Where smiles of familial welcoming Turned into savage, jealous fangs Yet though the bitterness seeps through And anger permeates her skin Sweet dignity she still retains And devotion stll resides within Her adornment incorruptible Her spirit mild and resolute Did not return evil for evil But stood and conquered it with good Happy is she who has endured And in mild subjection did remain Showing honour to a painful degree To bring honour to Jehovah's name And though she stumbled in despair Yet withstood for righteous sake Her loyalty, the beast could not sever Nor divine concsience could he break For like the rose at winter's end That bears a striking sharpened thorn Her petals still are soft and pure And her soul with beauty still adorned For the righteous one who sees all things And whose love she yet retains Will never for eternity forget The love she showed for his great name And should she reach out and beseech And trust his salvation once again She would know with certainty He has never let go her hand (For my precious daughter, Cheryl, who has been to hell and back)

lennon gazed upon the mound, forming an epiphany. the beady brutes worked in perfect unison: a communicative, coordinate artistry. his foot reigned down, crushed and maimed. while in his mind, the thought became: i am these ants as they are me as our pain is all the same.

“Remembering’s dangerous. I find the past such a worrying, anxious place. 'The Past Tense,' I suppose you’d call it. Memory’s so treacherous. One moment you’re lost in a carnival of delights, with poignant childhood aromas, the flashing neon of puberty, all that sentimental candy-floss… the next, it leads you somewhere you don’t want to go. Somewhere dark and cold, filled with the damp ambiguous shapes of things you’d hoped were forgotten. Memories can be vile, repulsive little brutes. Like children I suppose. But can we live without them? Memories are what our reason is based upon. If we can’t face them, we deny reason itself! Although, why not? We aren’t contractually tied down to rationality! There is no sanity clause! So when you find yourself locked onto an unpleasant train of thought, heading for the places in your past where the screaming is unbearable, remember there’s always madness. Madness is the emergency exit… you can just step outside, and close the door on all those dreadful things that happened. You can lock them away… forever.” - The Joker

Memory by The Joker
Today was tomorrow, yesterday. If that isn’t enough to make you go crazy, Then, how about a year ago, today felt like forever away, Yet, by tomorrow, it’ll be gone, nothing left to say. For nothing gold can stay, But, isn’t time a tyrannical little thing? We can’t change it, nor stop it, We’re purely at its will. We can’t see it, but its effects, As our world is encompassed by its silk. It’s all around us, yet it eludes us. How can we be so blind, But, bound by brutes who bellow from the night? We watch helplessly, As the world changes constantly. Partly, by our hands, Purely by time’s demands. Puppets on sharpened strings, Dancing to a tune that someone else sings. I wish I could sever the strings, But we’re all dragged along by time, continuously. It’s heartbreaking to watch such beauty fall apart. Friendships die, people cry, Dust yourself off and keep on smiling bright. Rise up, like a daisy, Otherwise, the world gets too hazy. How am I supposed to see?! Sometimes, it feels like things are crashing down around me. Time laughs as it claps, Dust myself off and keep on walking straight, Suffocating under the weight. People keep growing older around me, Meanwhile, I’ve felt the same since I turned fourteen. Eventually, I’ll have to put on an act, Like I have any idea what I’m doing. Pull it all together and keep on moving. That’s all that we can do. Oh…I fear the future. Most may say I’m delusional, But I like control. I like my day to be predictable, No surprises for me. And when my routines break, Anxiety takes the helm. Why wouldn’t I be afraid, Of something that affects me every day? Why wouldn’t I be terrified, Of something that’ll affect the rest of my life? All based on decisions I make, What if I make a mistake? The last thing I need is more pain. From the tyrant who controls everything. Tyrannical time, I don’t understand how people turn a blind eye. I wish I were ignorant, Since that seems to be bliss. Instead, I think, perhaps, too much, About things I can’t ever touch. That’s my curse…

We can’t see it, but its effects, As our world is encompassed by its silk. It’s all around us, yet it eludes us. How can we be so blind, But, bound by brutes who bellow from the night? We watch helplessly, As the world changes constantly. Partly, by our hands, Purely by time’s demands. Puppets on sharpened strings, Dancing to a tune that someone else sings. I wish I could sever the strings, But we’re all dragged along by time, continuously. It’s heartbreaking to watch such beauty fall apart. Friendships die, people cry, Dust yourself off and keep on smiling bright. Rise up, like a daisy, Otherwise, the world gets too hazy. How am I supposed to see?! Sometimes, it feels like things are crashing down around me. Time laughs as it claps, Dust myself off and keep on walking straight, Suffocating under the weight. People keep growing older around me, Meanwhile, I’ve felt the same since I turned fourteen. Eventually, I’ll have to put on an act, Like I have any idea what I’m doing. Pull it all together and keep on moving. That’s all that we can do. Oh…I fear the future. Most may say I’m delusional, But I like control. I like my day to be predictable, No surprises for me. And when my routines break, Anxiety takes the helm. Why wouldn’t I be afraid, Of something that affects me every day? Why wouldn’t I be terrified, Of something that’ll affect the rest of my life? All based on decisions I make, What if I make a mistake? The last thing I need is more pain. From the tyrant who controls everything. Tyrannical time, I don’t understand how people turn a blind eye. I wish I were ignorant, Since that seems to be bliss. Instead, I think, perhaps, too much, About things I can’t ever touch. That’s my curse…

"I am sorry. I don't want to be an emperor, that's not my business. I don't want to rule or conquer anyone. I should like to help everyone if possible. Jew, gentile, black man, white. We all want to help one another. Human beings are like that. We want to live by each other's happiness; not each other's misery. We don't want to hate and despise one another. In this world there's room for everyone and a good Earth is rich and can provide for everyone. The way of life can be free and beautiful, but we have lost the way. Greed has poisoned men's souls, has barricaded the world with hate; has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed. We have developed speed, but we have shut our selfs in; machinery that gives abundance has left us in want. Our knowledge has made us cynical, our cleverness hard and unkind. We think to much and feel to little. More than machinery we need humanity. More than cleverness we need kindness and gentleness. Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost. The airplane and radio have brought us closer together. The very nature of these inventions sires out the goodness in men, cries out for universal brotherhood for the unity of us all. Even now my voice is reaching millions throughout the world, millions of despairing men, women and little children, victims of a system that makes men torture and imprison innocent people. To those who can hear me I say "Do not despair". The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed, the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress: the hate of men will pass and dictators die and the power they took from the people, will return to the people and so long as men die liberty will never perish. Soldiers! Don't give yourselves to brutes, men who despise you, enslave you - who regiment your lives, tell you what to do what to think and what to feel, who drill you, diet you, treat you like cattle, use you as cannon fodder. Don't give yourselves to these unnatural men, machine men, with machine minds and machine hearts. You are not machines, you are not cattle. You are men. You have the love of humanity in your hearts. You don't hate only the unloved hate. The unloved and the unnatural. Soldiers - don't fight for slavery, fight for liberty. In the seventeenth chapter of Saint Luke it is written: "the kingdom of God is within man". Not one man, nor a group of men - but in all men - in you. You the people have the power, the power to create machines, the power to create happiness. You the people have the power to make this life free and beautiful, to make this life a wonderful adventure. Then in the name of democracy let us use that power - let us all unite. Let us fight for a new world, a decent world that will give men a chance to work,that will give you the future and old age and security. By the promise of these things, brutes have risen to power, but they lie. They don't fulfill that promise, they never will. Dictators free themselves but they enslave the people. Now let us fight to fulfill that promise. Let us fight to free the world, to do away with national barriers, to do away with greed, with hate and intolerance. Let us fight for a world of reason, a world were science and progress will lead to all men's happiness. Soldiers - in the name of democracy, let us all unite!" ~Charlie Chaplin

The heart's a lonely hunter and I'm just timid with the gun. Forests grow thicker with doubts in my mind. Men with white collars climbing bodies to reach "happiness". I am Hunted. I have not began to burn at both ends. My candles wax is still intact and my wick is in in flames. It grows shorter and shorter by the day. As I wonder if i should die by a suit and tie or by the blade. I am Hunted. I am hunted by carbon copy killers. I am hunted by Juarez smoke stacks. I am hunted by tyrants. I am hunted by brutes of men. I am hunted by fascist fathers. and all this can be summoned up in two simple words: Dank Submission.

The Heart's A Lonely Hunter.
Don’t wanna be restrained to, Allow for the politicians abuse, Freedom from the celebrity ruse, As I struggle with these hues, Red, White, and Blue. We’re like toys, We make noise, Bring them joy, We’re easy to poise. Grab me by my hair, Throw me in the chair, Scream at me, “It’s not fair!,” You say, “You’re a burden I can’t bare.” I’ll kick your teeth out, it’s only fair. Life couldn’t give you a more silver spoon, Sat up in your high chair, tightening our noose, Drinking from a sippy cup, it’s alcohol abuse, I hope you forget that karma is on the loose. Cause we’re coming for you. Half-dead brutes, ***** of dried prunes, Master of child abuse, You are the fake news. Others will avoid, You will destroy, The bombs you deploy, For the middle east oil, Brainwashed toys are easy to exploit.
