"buffoons" poems
I...am a man No, I am a black man One who walks around with this curse mark upon his hand As he is drenched with this scorched abomination Frowned upon by society as if his very existence is a sin As if he asked to be born this way Well newsflash for all naive buffoons in the world, he didn't Now I'm a being who can envision himself soaking in his own blood Always afraid to walk out his front door  because if he does... He becomes public enemy number one Forcing him to duck behind cars Trying to dodge the bullet he got beaming towards his head I'm a dead man walking attempting to live a normal life But according to society I can't According to society I'm a foul beast who acts on impulses And goes on a rampage because simply can't help it So I must die before I'm even given a chance to prove myself I...am a man

While these groupons cutting coupons I mean and croutons with Grey Poupon with the flight crew on an Islond off Moulin Rouge -- these dudes calling me rude, how I took'em to school. went from second hand shoes to licking silver spoons eating delicious grapes, in luxurious estates, and plush lagoons. Leaving the monkey business to the buffoons. Instead I'm watching CNN news being amused. LeBron making his moves on the tube, setting screens, and running schemes, on the big screen, HD clarity got me taking three, I'm catching charges too. This is the life. I'm just manifesting what they said I couldn't do -- nothing new.

Manifestation of an Attitude
when words are few, or stuck in dictionaries unused or unknown like compassion, tyrants and wife-beaters scream with iron fists, silencing fluent lips in clotting streams of  blood ...and machetes, severing lucid limbs from able bodies in active states of articulation ...and guns, the kryptonite of cowards and buffoons, the callow voice of philistines and goons, blasting cogent words and vocal women into oblivion ....and laboratories where forensics of fingerprint and dna scream loudest, sending tyrants and wife-beaters away to sleep with the devil in a shallow cell on earth or hell below... ~ P (#Pablo#OTAWB) (8/11/2013)

Of Tyrants & Wife-Beaters....
The Marshmallows decided to have a top Party Dressed gaily in white, pink, red, green and yellow They mingled and floated around looking arty-farty We're going to dance in town not partying in a garage And guess what, We won't invite Toffee he's not like us Go melt and burn says Toffee with rightful disdain who wants to party with a bunch of soft silly buffoons Overblown and presumptuous you lot melt in the rain Nothing to you all but egging and hot air you poltroon Who wants to dance with mixed up softies with no brains I am Toffee hot and hard and always ready for the bite You can't lick me in a hurry and I take a while to crack I am brown with brawn and brains and ready to fight Got rhythm with the moves, tastes and flavours top whack Not some boring twirls or stumps gathered together tight Come try me if you dare and see me squash you down flat I'll go into you hard your softness yielding like knife on butter Can marsh you with my strength till you're nothing but mellow Or stick to your puffy wooly state and squeeze you still flatter Till you beg and squeal your surrender showing you're shallow I am not like you and don't think, see, look or taste like you I am brown and sweet, hard and chewy and I really don't care For emulsified vain brainless no substance marshmallow tools Who can only be brave and big when all packed together like So go party and kid yourselves softies I don't party with fools

I'll Marsh You ..
The horses and dancers, the acrobats too. The ringmaster and all the beasts in the zoo. At the end of the show, received huge adulation. With thunderous cheers and a standing ovation. But the funny men with baggy pants and large shoes Got a different reaction, thrown fruit and loud boo’s. Well their smiles turned to rage and confused irritation As they stood there and suffered the crowds indignation. They ripped off their noses and popped their balloons, No more will with they play for these mindless buffoons. So they piled into their car and it’s needless to say, As they drove off, the clowns were quite angry that day

Clown Rage
A town filled with degenerate and clowns, where stars shine bright and street lights are nowhere in sight. Drunken buffoons, swarming the saloons, stirring up chaos with their little spoons. Lost actresses turning into brainless waitresses, the common conversation turning into nothing more, than the gossip of your ever fashionable ***** Stay too long in this dystopian filled town and you'll find yourself growing old and bored, dying internally like a cancerous plague, waiting for the zombies to rise. Not aware that the zombies are here, alive and well, roaming the streets, ever so disguised, make eye contact and prepare to die.

Lonely Horrendous City
I notice the balloons Hovering over the happy buffoons I like the little purple one All deflated and misshapen. As they dance away the night I keep my eye upon its plight It hisses out more air With each kiss that is mistaken. By dawn it has become raisin. Before I leave too soon I rescue said balloon Place it in my pocket It is my little purple *******

Balloon Buffonery
Baby we're broken and baby we're done. We've had our good times and boy they were fun. But now we must go on our separate ways We both know, no love is left if one of us stays So baby live your life and live it with a smile Lets stop being fake and living in denial We both made this choice and we both got to agree That we both would stay friends and live happily I'm not your Cinderella at least not anymore You're not my Prince Charming who found a shoe on the floor Baby this isn't Disney, life isn't like the cartoons So lets not treat each other like mindless buffoons Thank you for the effort and baby thank you for the time Hugs, kisses and farewell this will be my last rhyme.

Strum out to me, Oh music man, That sweet mandolin tune, Tell me the secrets of this world, I'll keep it just between you and me. I'll take my snippets of unfinished poetry, And you take your unfinished book, We'll mash them together into a chunk of clay, And what results I think will do. Let me take you in my arms, And swing about the room, To some merry little jig, Only heard between us three. Let's laugh to loud like ******** And banter like buffoons, Rant and rave like jabbering macaws, And croon until we're blue. Take care of me when I drink too heavy, And nod along to my song, Even though my guitar may be out of tune, Carry my traumas when they become too crushing, And say you love me too.

We're found to be cut off but not long ago! Some burn us with sparklers and we get modulated as flames in a flash by yielding fire flowers to your night sky And you numskulls think that we die. Some sculp us with molten cruelty as symbol of mockery. It's Good enough that we we're just called as devils. But what about those bed evils Who attack upon on lassies With the holler word called “babies” To accomplish their own seductive urge. What about those drunken buffoons In those paved streets under the feeble streetlights stalking the fragile once either for fun or for a wrong intention. What about the brute twice the age of his married daughter bites into the soul of a maiden. Spitting the venomous words and incapacitates the heart Numbness spreads all over her body after the spiteful attack. For heaven's sake Don't point your fingers on us We're better than you I being Ravan, The biggest devotee of lord Siva And had an extremely loyal wife like Mandodari Been burned with ten heads For just kidnapping Sita Whereas I returned her with due respect. But these days people use women like toys by fulfilling their joys. And Mahishasura, Who could worship so hard to impress three lords was eventually killed by Durga and could meet the death by hands of powerful women. But these days people **** the female child before birth thinking daughters as burden on earth. If still you don't get atonement Just think this poem as a complement And just think how better are we as your opponent. May the whole world call us demon or devil But first learn to tackle the inner evil. If possible put pins and needle to such people Then the world will be in next level.

Visit to the psychiatrist The “more Sensitive Ones”, The delicately balanced beings, Those living on the edge of life, “Feeling” more than “living” it seems. Needing to be nurtured and cocooned, By the mentally well adjusted, Or by the full-blooded buffoons Who keep them,- in life- interested. Do gently but surely tug, Into the deep dark depths Of their own despairing, Melancholy, Inverted selves. Till both breathe as twin souls Mirroring each other. Both forever, left wondering Who has violated whom? Indu ***** 15.04.2007

Visit to the Psychiatrist
which were the center of the Earth. A rill, a gentle excite that rolled from side to side touching the verdant moors and bridging the tepid winds through the mirthy wood. She afluntered, pivoting in circles, pronouncing an aubade for a throng anthropolatrating agelasts. Her palms and dactyls outstretched. A chilliad had passed, still her astereognosis never produced the fields and trunks before her. Amending the acronycal light an aeolistic caitiff arose, piercing the crowd, rising to her circumference. This clapperdudgeon and callet woman rang out in a cacophony of sharp jabbering, then another blellum arrived, then another carker, soon they were all cloffin at the pyre. Her lips instantly wet, her mouth broke its pursed chastity, and among the meek she suddenly was overcome with an incredible basorexia. And so she began, bussing left to right, osculating the buffoons and bavians. Some cullion tried their way towards & towards and then disappeared in a comestion, another dratchell roused himself, sudorous and covered in culch. The concilliabule was dwaible now, those who weren't prying for her kisses were dwaling about frantically croodling, mooing, even barking. This wild frenzied lot of basiation and baisements. Beazing in the dying sun she began to crose and cough. Her blood and spit, her saliva became estiferous and unstable, she began to eroteme herself, her healthy figure was now ectomorphic. Her thoughts were unsettling, she began to fantasize her own decollation. Some sauntering madman with a sleek leather overcoat and an enormous hatchet hunching over her. It overcame her, this auto deicidal ideology in addition, the sweet kir began to wear off, and all she could feel was lackluster, emptiness, indifference. Eventually her acrasia overcame her and in her accidia and overbearing mania she took her own life. Her head slipped from her shoulders and rolled casually past her body, her knees collapsing before her feet, before her torso. And the abderian men and women cackled, just sat and stared her life, her love, all gone and disappeared.

TO LAMPOON THE BUFFOONS
February 8th, 2018 - 11:06pm. In. An. The. How much deeper will this go? This desert. This baron land and escape from the moonlit evenings’ effervescent engineering of short-lived Neanderthals. These voices are enough to split our hides through and through like an cheese grater, that pants-boots combo chases us into the early morning forecast. I need to get out with her. We need to get out from here. We need to go out from this place. There are hexes and hieroglyphs places matte with ill-defined Finnish designs. There is the yolk and that which copies it. There is the phone and the web of tangling eyes whose corpus is mimicry. I am the notes and the music is taking me down, down, down. Whether it’s our dreams or the sweats that keep us ratcheting our bodies beaten eyes hooked to the cadavers we once chose. Now it’s up to you to choose. This is the fuse that we’ve let loose, maybe your furnace can curtsy and observe these sad blackened buffoons while they make us shrivel up and go hide back in our bed cocoons. This is a zoo I tell you and you tell me. This is a zoo of mayhem, hedonists, and 400° degrees. These are the tiny beds we hide in until they melt us down, into the heirs of our highness, our luxuries quick to abscond.

An announcement, dear spoons, it has come to my attention, That knives are in fact the superior invention, They cut and they dice, and they bring us sliced bread, While for spoons, I'm afraid there's not much to be said, They're good for the stirring and sipping of soup, They can help you eat anything; well, as long as its goop, They can't even manage to show a proper reflection, Try gazing at one, it upends your direction, Oh spoons, you buffoons, you round-bellied fools, Try slicing, not scooping, you inelegant tools, Knives dress to **** while you spoons are such slouches, And knives are quite charming; you lot are all grouches, It's clear that knives are the superior race, They'll put you dumb spoons back into your place, At the bottom of the drawer, way down with the forks, Alongside the can opener, and a screwer of corks, You're the **** of the table, I despise your skullduggery, That's why I declare knives the finest of cutlery.

What was meant by the shadow of night, In the early man’s eyes what was meant by its darkness, Impending doom and ominous grace, Reveled and revealing, Misunderstood through all time as something evil, The great horns protrude through the whimsy, Siphoning portions of animal instinct, Fear the greatest export Where is the fear of the blinding light, That ignorant light that plagues the houses on the block From every window flickers the flame Television sets on sleep mode, Movies set on the title menu playing over and over While the sleeping body flails aimless in animated suspension, Insomniacs accomplishing something trivial by reaching the next checkpoint, Even the light of the candle burning as the neo-bohemian reads, All looking out the window at the blaring buffoons ransacking the night, Making love to the stars and howling at the moon, Insanity and blindly causing the world’s collapse, Laughing at the expense.

Unearthed and untamed, Can't swing through life without the right Jane. Take another picture, Still doesn't look right without the proper fixture. Fading like morning fog, hungry like a dog, Don't bite the hand or it'll leave you broke like 'no job'. Too much, too soon, Water filled balloons that seem to be juggled by buffoons. No proper balance, Take a sip from the chalice and patience from parents. Just some friendly advice, Keep your head on straight and keep rolling them dice. - Life.

She said she would move if we would just improve Then the sails broke and we joked as the tea spoke Now with the water high night is nigh and were alright Can it be that love is here and time is nowhere near? See the flower tasting sour won't you come on over? Tongues are tied wrists are limp my pen is broken need a stick After this nap we'll dump the sack head off books on our backs Were young and dead old and feared with no sign of creakin' bed Write what nothing holds true for if you do the blue will sue Heads will turn as you will burn on a stake made of copper n' zeal No neither hands are feeding inspirations curse don't burst Mother made her hand here and now there's nothing no nothin' to hear Oh' all along ears bend and spend their lives cooly listening Don't send your ears down the block for the clock has stopped I listen to the tunes of buffoons who dance around like happy loons A child tears up as he bares up another rafter of stale **** candy At this time drinks are drinks and dames are dames and I'm still tame I don't think myself lame or famed worded or locked up n' boarded Nor clouds white as milk cool as silk stand on stilts dirtied felt A smile is all one needs to feel the speed of a life worth lived

My questionee is the first born of Europe, Mr. England the royal son of Europe Who chewed and still chews Fortunes from the colonies With the mighty of hyena mandibles When its canine teeth penetrate Rotten pork in the helm of day’s starvation. My questions come to you England and your brothers; The European immigrants who left their home To usurp land in the African territory of Australia, Then with all imperial mighty you decimated The human race of Africans, which you called a dog’s name; The fitlhy, uncouth, loatish, oafish, and worthless aboriginals, Which you deemed humanity so useless that deserve not to own any country As God was so idiosyncratic to give such heavyweight buffoons Like the African natives of Australia such a fertile land, Why did you **** my brothers in Australia? And you replace them with your sons and daughters, To shamelessly occupy land which is not their ancestral home? You ravenous Europeans who will heal you from the bug of colonial syndrome? Before you answer, wisdom of time commands European settlers to quit Australia, To bring to an end ignominious civilization of colonialism.

When ignorance goes running rampant And fools run amok, And the measure of success is strictly The almighty buck; When logic and reason become suspect And fakesters are thought wise, And people relish living in A fool's paradise; When false news is the word of the day And many people choose To get their news from stations where ratings Are more important than news; When lies masquerade as truth And facts are seen as perverse, And the lack of consideration for others Goes from bad to worse; When science is known as the enemy And metaphor as science, And blind acceptance and misunderstanding Form a tight alliance; When bold and brazen ideologues Make it their primary mission To push their will upon the people And crush the opposition; And when world leaders have the potential To leave the world in rubble, And some of the leaders are buffoons, WE'RE IN A HEAP OF TROUBLE! - by Bob B (12-17-16)

When Ignorance Goes Running Rampant
Her existence is a paradox For even the buffoons seem to be mocking at her Her power lies divided Fixed on a candelabra With men in the churches gazing at the strength And old ladies lighting it for solace The wax melts and the world is plunged into darkness Tendrils of smoke drifting upwards Shapeless silhouettes driving people towards the end The dome of the hall covered with embodiments of its remains The chandelier soaking the suffocation amidst And still in the hands of that artist in the corner With a palette in the right and swollen fingers holding the brush Lies a hope of resurrection of the dainty lady's grace But only In the painting and the caricatures.

But only In the painting and the caricatures
they whisper in reverent tones on the television, hushed, in awe, struck dumb by the images of fifty-nine tomahawk cruise missiles a flaccid, wanna-be-strongman just launched at Syria, a country whose refugees and babies we'd rather see washed-up on the sands of foreign lands than safely at peace in our homeland. Brian Williams calls the spectacle, "beautiful." sociopathic pundits in ecstasy, spewing meek excuses like babbling baboons, buffoons lusting for an **** of nihilistic violence. they invoke their dead gods, beseech the "Almighty" to bless their bloodstained hands, and say this is how a demagogue acts presidential. beat the war drums in quick succession. about face in a new direction. left, left, left, right, left. it doesn't matter who sits in the Oval Office, war makes America great again, boosting administrative approval ratings and corporate coffers, revenue soaring like sky-rocketing jet-fuel. we cannot pummel the world into submission with munitions, but that won't stop us from trying. planting early graves like seeds in the ground, bearing fruit that spoils and keeps this whole sick joke spinning perpetually around. we **** people who **** people because killing people is wrong. what i'd give to wake to a world not torn apart by war.
