If you know the tale of El Chapo, You know then what will befall Even the person who's known as The most famous drug lord of all. Exporting more drugs to America Than anyone else in the past, El Chapo lived like a king On the millions of dollars he amassed. You didn't mess with El Chapo. Woe betide you if you did! Not only would you suffer, So would your spouse or your kid. Back in the 90s El Chapo Found himself in a scrape And landed in a Mexican prison, But he found a way to escape. A protracted stay in the slammer For him was not in the cards: He bought his way to freedom By bribing the prison guards. For thirteen years El Chapo Evaded capture and hid. He kept up his shady dealings While trying to stay off the grid. Authorities in Chicago Gave this man on the run Notoriety as Public Enemy Number One. In 2015 the drug lord Was back in prison again. This time he fled through a tunnel Dug by some of his men. One day marines closed in. They thought they'd caught their man. El Chapo held a child In his arms as he ran. Soon El Chapo got sloppy. No one could catch him, he thought. Alas, the marines tracked him down. Back to a cell he was brought. Now the Americans want him. Extradite him, they say. El Chapo will be an example To show that crime doesn't pay. So, say good-bye, El Chapo, As you sadly wipe your tears. We hope you like your new home; You're going to be there for years. Yes, say good-bye, El Chapo, To your Sinaloa Cartel. A maximum security prison Will be your new citadel. - by Bob B

The women in Pakistan are all dead Men are hungry, butter their bread with lead Cartel gang **** death in Venezuela Girls bleed, crying Shadowed figure screams "Impale her!" America hates women Women love America Generalisations of a generally confused man Man jumps from UK office block Painted tarmac, because she refused to simply **** his **** ******* figure hangs from a tree in Japan Aokigahara hikikomori, The human condition destroyed this man Single father, taking his daughter to a park Accused by a stranger, Jumping to a conclusion, rather dark Hooded man runs the world Masked by power, Money is bigger than Jesus Knowledge destroys prejudice Rock. Paper. Scissors.

We Saw The Eternal War and Laughed as the Seas Engulfed Us All
A mob boss for president… Yikes! That's what we've got-- One who profits from crime Without a second thought; Who keeps his family close by; Who's close to each paisano; Who looks less like a Lincoln, And more like Tony Soprano; Who praises convicted felons, And pardons them as well; Who cares less about country And more about his cartel. Loyalty is his mantra. His underlings owe him all. He sounds like a mobster when His back's against the wall. He'll rip you a new one if You ever decide to flip And prove that you're a rat, Or try to give him the slip. "Flipping should be illegal," He brazenly repeats. Without it he knows there'd be More crooks on the streets. A power-hungry bully: It's his goal to be one. Listen to his rhetoric: "I know a rat when I see one." His fixer threatens reporters And does the boss's bidding. But when he seeks revenge, The boss isn't kidding! Driven by ambition, Egomania and greed, He lets mob ethics guide him To always take the lead. He's the kind of guy You read about in books. Watch how he surrounds Himself with other crooks. Those who cooperate With law enforcement will find That he retaliates If ever he's maligned. Top decision maker, He gets such a thrill Promoting or demoting Anyone at will. Having a no-good mob boss As leader strikes a nerve Because it's hard to accept That that's what we deserve. -by Bob B (8-25-18)

The Mob Boss
The black, iron God arm punched placid-blanched clouds, and dangled cat cable down to lemon-vested men with chalkboard faces. *Basic algebra, today's date, daily syllabi, God-fearing anecdotes, and the evils of homosexuality.* Fornicating with other dudes is like moving Jesus' rock with your condom'd ***** Let sleeping dieties die. We find them buried deep beneath **** ceramics by T.V. criminals, rapists, murderers, buzzers, free- lovers, angelheaded sweethearts. They have nearly four dollar souls, barely enough for a Wilpo dinner at Hepburn Diner. #2 breakfast with one cup of Columbian cartel coffee with a pinch of whole milk to take the edge off, so he won't be gripping the booth vinyl when a "freedom" flash cop car passes. Police cruisers are just bigger bicycles that we're afraid of, sporting cereal box baseball cards in the spokes. Cops were the kids that needed help their first time fresh off training wheels. Training academy training them for low-speed cat chases through flower beds. Sweet daffodil, you didn't have to die like this. You could've drank straight from the pitcher at a stranger's dinner party potluck, seen the guts of a New York highrise, shared the coke left beneath a woman's botched nose job. You could have been more than this. You could have been more. You could have been. You could have. You could. You. You, daffodil, stamen-down in Miracle Gro and dog **** could have been more.

A day in the life of a married white collar worker
If I listened to every advertisement hollering through the static of my cable-hooked television, I'd have a mammoth bottle of Hidden Valley Ranch sitting with the ego-quenching sheen of recommendation in my fridge, a Weight Watchers membership (it told me to join as soon as possible with the speed of a steroid-devouring treadmill), Children's Tylenol (despite being situationally barren), and a Bowflex-shaped elephant, ivory tusks slumping uselessly in the corner. My living room would be the fraternal twin of the American Smithsonian, a faux-genuine quilt of our Founding Fathers' present day descendants draping over my popcorn ceiling. I return to the latest sacred cow in the flea store cartel of Lifetime Movie heroines; it's "Vengeful Vixens Sunday" and Elizabeth Berkley shooting men and stabbing women in the back all while eating buckets of Ben and Jerry and getting addicted to crystal **** The dialogue is as freshly packaged and slovenly edible as the Minute Ready Late Night Dinner with a cartoon grandma plastered on the logo, all to remind you of down home, or in the case of this Lifetime screenplay, a time when the brain wasn't fully developed. Same difference. We all hide our guilty pleasures as if our tolerance for the secondhand existence of these favorites were deemed malignant by a cardboard kingdom of young adult sophistication, but I ask you: who hasn't slipped into the comfort of a mind turned to mush?

1.  If you aren't moving your hands while telling a story, it's a boring ******* story.  Add in something to make it exciting, like a chance encounter with a tiger.  So what if no one believes that tigers walk down 5th avenue, at least your story doesn't **** any more.  You know whose story ***** now?  That ******* who doesn't believe a tiger can make it in the big city. 2.  Make bad mistakes every once in awhile.  How will you know that you don't want to be part of a Colombian Drug Cartel unless you try it out for a few weeks?  Who knows, maybe you'll find out it's your true calling.  Maybe you'll stage a coup, take over the whole thing and get the hot girl in the red dress.  But no, you're sitting at your computer reading this.  My point is, drugs are bad ok? 3.  Don't be that guy who thinks he's better than everyone else because he always "does the right thing".  You know why he's never made a mistake?  Because he doesn't have a real life.  His life is as real as a Ken Doll's unmentionables.  Yeah it's all smooth and shiny, but he can't have any fun with it.  What's the point of  having a life that can't be potentially ruined by terrible decisions? 4.  Take chances.  and I don't mean by putting "Piccolo Pete's Face Burning Tabasco" on your hotdog.  I mean walk up to the next girl you see and give her a passionate kiss the likes of which she hasn't had since 3 days ago when she drunkenly made out with some random dude at a bar.  Yeah, you may feel like you've just been kneed in the groin and/or maced multiple times in the eye...but you know what?  You just made out with a beautiful woman, and you've got a good lawyer. 5.  Don't take advice from people you don't know.  Especially some random person on the internet, those people are just shady.

Amphetamine
The sound of silence. Peace after violence. A mother’s browbeaten servitude. A child’s coerced gratitude. The world’s most prosperous nations. Architects of the most dangerous machinations. Economies like never before; A life that still leaves you wanting more. The embezzlement of public finances. The settlement of a case’s nuances. Two colluding entities declaring each other free of ****** With ease, starving YOUR wallet until YOU are down on your knees. The oath: ‘to protect and serve.’ The reality? ‘To suspect and unnerve.’ A cartel that’s in charge of the guns; Like leaving a brothel in the hands of Huns. The lie of representation in government. The election, expectation of endowment. Spending your life washing your master’s feet, Then somehow being surprised by their trickery and deceit. The mistake of prioritising convenience. The finalising of our own, eventual obsolescence. We are a species that will die Clueless of our role in it, desperately asking ‘why?’ When it’s way too late.

Paradoxical couplets
I always carry a pen in my pocket. I watch I Love Lucy reruns when I’m upset. Chocolate is my obsession, my “péché migon.” I listen to quiet chatter and music without lyrics when I’m trying to focus. I am far from a picky eater, but I cannot stand ketchup or licorice. Watching Gilmore Girls religiously for five years taught me that life is too short to talk slowly enough for people to understand you. I find the world hilarious. Making it easy for people to laugh with me is my goal. I ogle over Ducky from Pretty in Pink with my best friend every time I need a reminder that not all boys are **** I want to walk down the aisle holding a bouquet of stargazer lilies, as my mom did before me, and I lose myself in Degas’ “L’étoile” every so often. Burt’s Bees honey lip balm reminds me of my childhood Winnie-the-Pooh scratch-and-sniff book. Every cup of Constant Comment tea, pair of jeans that fits perfectly, night spent listening to rain hit the roof, and run through damp grass with bare feet reminds me that life is beautiful. Once, I ate so much pineapple I burned the lining of my mouth. I cried the first time I heard “Save Us” by Cartel and saw the ending of Cyrano de Bergerac in French. I am going to marry the genius who invented cinnamon brown sugar Pop Tarts. Everyday, when I leave the house, I blow a kiss to the picture of Walter Payton my dad hung above the doorway to our garage. When on vacation, my family and I buy pastries and coffee and walk in front of a jewelry store, attempting to recreate the scene from Breakfast at Tiffany’s. Life should be a little crazy most of the time. I may seem difficult to live with, but I’ve shared a room with my little sister for fifteen years, and she only hates me sixty-three percent of the time. I hope that you are up for a few good laughs and an extraordinary year.

a journalist interviewed people who survived jumping from the Golden Gate Bridge most reported that, at about two thirds of the way down, they realized that everything could be fixed one way or another in turn, if the others had come to the same realization then they died for nothing. placing a bullet in your head may be convenient if you're in a gang war and there is no way out but though there may be a war zone in your mind no one else is shooting it may feel as if a drug cartel crossed the border into your brain and there is a shoot out with the patrol but you wont even be able to find a winner one is just trying to supply product for profit and the other is just trying to protect its people but from what? what are they running from? why are you hiding? one is committing a crime the other is committing a crime what are they fighting for? what are you fighting for? you think, if it goes quick you can't regret but it doesn't matter this is just one of many battles and you must keep fighting this is the one war that must be fought that must be won you don't need to die for your cause you need to live you need to live, not for others, but for yourself. i don't think you realize that this isn't gta if you spend $500 you're broke and if you die you don't re-spawn the exit sign may be glowing but you have to take some damage in order to rebuild yourself please keep fighting.

take the easy way out, $500
See simmering vats of shoulders, elbows and knees, A banner reads: "Welcome to the joint stock company!" A mule may melt your heart, but the cartel will dissolve your family.

When it's all going smooth, you're talking millions weekly JC is on his way, to pick up bundles of illicit US drug money Trouble is getting it back to Mexico and depositing in the banking secretly There are members of the cartel, that have anywhere up to $300 million, pure honey. Just sitting idle in their houses and they can't spend or use of it, not even a bit Once you've gone into partnership with the cartels You're only handling their money or changing it You can't leave, they'll find you, kidnap your family and Fedex them back as parcels They tell you "you have to do this" If not, they will **** you and they don't ever miss. Here is the money. What do I with it then? I get 5 ID's and I'm going to the currency exchange to change the dollars again You always have to give $200 to the cashier, which we put in here She logs into the system and records the transactions, that appear Just as though they were made by tourists Then we pass them onto our cartel bosses, who are very near us. The cash is now laundered and its origin erased They can deposit their money, which is now clean into Pesos, that can't be traced But this cash started its journey 3,000 miles away One of the biggest narco distribution hubs in America, I'd say The windy cities railway, port and interstate highway systems, are the best Making it the ideal location, distributing Dope and Cash from across the Midwest. Approximately 70% of the US population lives within a day's drive of Chicago The Southside is where a lot of the business gets done, just like in Eldorado Every deal is a drop in the bucket, that contributes to a mighty river of cash Chicago has over 70 gangs, with up to 150,000 members, who are all smoking hash Making it the largest and badest gang capital of the America’ Handling the retail, an army of local gangbangers we call the Drug Gangsta's.

To face the fear of being liquid, I go under, float the drift. Leave the boat behind, no worries. I am in no hurry to school with the rest, colorful parrot fish, at home in the depths. I am not afraid of sharks materializing from the inked abyss. The nothing in their soulless eyes is just black-bottomed assessing - not one of us. In a lazuli sea, the barracuda cartel tails me, their silver barrels rule the reef, leering grins glinting diamonds, hungry pirates seeking gold hidden in my tender lobes. Yellow-bellied sea snakes swarm, their sinuously wicked heads disappear and reappear on ebb and crest of every wave, see their split tongues read the chemistry of each exhaled breath. A swollen catch unsought. Forsworn. What's lost will be reborn. From within, yolk still tethered, resting on the bottom. Net a dying heart, return it to the deep, watch it roll and flutter, remember how to beat.

The Water's Fine
Tell me when you're coming home again, Do you think about me now or then? Please tell me you think about me now, not then. Come home so we can be friends again. I met this girl ‘til I was 6 years old, What I loved about her that she had so much soul, She said excuse me lil homie, I know you don’t know me my name is Iguala, and I like to grow trees, and from that point I never forgot her at all Guerrillas came to town, and we hid from them all brothers like to act tough, but she knows they're soft We used to mess with tourist and towed them off When I grew up she showed me how to go downtown In the nighttime her face lit up, so astounding, I told her there will be a place in my heart where she’ll always be She never messed with men because they always leave. She said, “It feels like they stomped, and rode on me” They knew I was cartel affiliated, so they got up and told on me Maybe that's why last month she got so cold on me. She said, “Litos, keep your dreams shiny and gold for me.” Tell me when you're coming home again, Do you think about me now or then? Please tell me you think about me now, not then. Come home so we can be friends again. If you really cared about her You would of never left her to follow your dreams Sometimes I still talk to her But when I talk to her It always seems that she wants to talk about me She said, “You left your friends, and they are just like you they also have dream, and wanna succeed like you, But they ain't you” and I just got through thinking about life, this Litos is new People always tell me that leaving her was wrong I guess you never know what you got ‘til its gone. “God put you here for a reason” and I can’t go back home And guess when I heard that, when I was back home. Every little talk I’m representing you, making your proud, Reach for the Gods you land on the clouds jump in the lake, wave your body around If you don’t know by now I’m talking about my Mexican Town!!! Tell me when you're coming home again, Do you think about me now or then? Please tell me you think about me now, not then. Come home so we can be friends again.

Miami Vice – The Song – From First Kiss Rock Opera The night was ringing, with violent sounds, the echoes of turbulent dreams were flying, being chased by villians, like foxes and hounds, through the streets, hear the voices crying seems he had been, a witness of crime, he was offering his service to the city, the cartel found out, he was taking the time, his interventions would allow for no pity duck your heads, run for the cover, these beasts of violence, will sure take your life hide with the Feds, save your lover, be wary of traitors, they cut like a knife the wailing of sirens, tear through the night, warnings of immanent danger for you, seek out the dark, stay out of the light, you and your lover with your love so true duck your heads, run for the cover, these beasts of violence, will sure take your life hide with the Feds, save your lover, be wary of traitors, they cut like a knife Still thinking of that First Kiss ….

Miami Vice – The Song – From First Kiss Rock Opera
Quiet, dawn, Covid. Biggest accomplishment yesterday: buying toilet paper. Thanking the young cashier for doing her job. Feeling a little sick, wearing my mask and gloves, Spring oblivious to the virus, an idiot like Millay said. At least we’re not beheading each other—yet. Symptoms mild so far. Today rest, no long walk, no knee bends. I think I’ve watched every possible movie and tv show and nothing’s left that doesn’t bore me. I could learn the calculus, chemistry or physics but will I and what for? Most poetry is chopped up prose. That’s harsh but true. But that’s because most days are prose or yesterday’s news. Win or lose sumthins gonna getcha. Drug cartel assassin, the blues. If not now, when? Some other Wednesday. Why wait? I wish I had some wisdom to translate. It’s living and helping others to live that counts, I guess. Cast a cold eye and guess, walk the extra mile, report from the besieged city, be wise or a **** I hope to get the antibodies the easy way, mild symptoms, no brush with death, don’t intubate. An existential bessemer process, strange quark, chances are I won’t be able to organize this day into an expressible state. A daily exchange with nature’s enough to alleviate my fear. When I thanked the cashier her smile was like the sun coming out from behind clouds or the end of the pandemic, as if I had not wasted my life.

Covid Cashier
I, Jack Gladstone (hereafter referred to as i), Being of at least some form of mind and body write the contents of my day. Set the scene: It’s cold, it’s the winter and it’s cold. It’s cold outside, it’s cold inside unless, of course, you’re wearing a sweater. If you’re wearing a sweater you are just precisely over the border of Toowarmopolis (population: i). Int. an oddly nice community college library, excellent when you consider the town it is in is occasionally the **** capital of Iowa (Ottumwa). The main contender is nearby and is actually the other main campus for this said college (Centerville). Coincidence? Is Indian Hills based on **** money? Is the administration a cartel? To answer these questions in order: yes, doubtful, and of the textbook variety alone. i sit with the courtesy headphones on listening to the Shins. i, obviously, work on poetry assignments. i work on my computer class. Office is not as i remember it. It’s changed. It’s different. What means what? i panic. i realize it’s silly to panic. i panic anyway. i remind myself it is silly to panic. i regain my composure. No one noticed. i think. i miss toolbars. i miss clippy. i miss words instead of symbols. Is this what being old is like? I’m far too young for that. If this is me now what will i be like when I’m elderly? Living in a world of holograms, infocubes, the wikimplant. i lied about regaining composure before. i do that sometimes, lying i mean.

My Absurd Anxiety
Notice how the whisper dies When strangers near a gathered few, How laughter dwindles in the air Where yesterday, free breezes blew. Our public forums disappear Like dominoes, they fall in turn And each in turn consumes a truth, Like ******* in a flame they burn. And everyone’s opinion fades As nervous glances flit the room, A menace in the silence felt As whispers hush, suspicion looms. The banks call in the mortgages, The Cops demanding hard The language of the press subdued And every one’s on guard. And the failing economies Across the whole globe, And contrived **** happening With oil price hikes disrobed. Grinning cartel monopolies Who manipulate fare To cause catastrophic collapse In the market elsewhere. Government’s tone has altered From homilies of home, (God bless our land & honour the flag) To harsh Corporate drone. Big Money’s in the mix you see, Pharmaceuticals and Big Oil And the Military have the casting vote In cashing up the spoils. How has it all come to this ? Where have our freedoms fled ? If they ever really did exist Were they... only in my head ? Restricted private ownership With travelling curtailed, And the information black out Shows the freedom press have failed. But the repetitious broadcasts Which they want us all to hear, And the droll propaganda Which confuses the ear, Those brainwashing dogma’s Which stifle the mind, Oppressing the rational To keep we souls aligned. Why, my friend, On this bright summer’s day Should my heart be bleeding It’s freedoms away ? Who sanctioned oppression, Who opened the gate, To admit the dark forces Who thrive on the hate ?

i think of the romantics as the hippies of society. not that there's anything wrong with sitting in a VW van in a field of sunflowers listening to the Beatles and smoking blunts all day and night, im totally the advocate for that, but is that all there is? there's so much more, and it isn't all sunshine and rainbows like they teach you in kindergarten, and that's one of the biggest problems with the education systems throughout the world these days. we're sheltered. we're sheltered to no end. what would the kid that didn't know anything about police brutality or a drug cartel do the first time when he was ready to emerge into the real world? he would ******* **** himself because he was sheltered. and then the mental illness factor comes in, what would his friends do? they'd never been exposed to that, they didn't even know such a thing was possible. because they were sheltered. maybe the kids in his neighborhood would begin to get the same thoughts and **** themselves too because they thought they were ******* crazy for thinking the way they were because nobody ever told them that mental illnesses are nothing to be ashamed of and they're treatable and they don't make you a bad person. what makes someone a bad person is lying to someone by telling them everything will always be okay, because everything won't always be okay. and that's realism.

En el café de Chinitas dijo Paquiro a su hermano: «Soy más valiente que tú, más torero y más gitano».En el café de Chinitas dijo Paquiro a Frascuelo: «Soy más valiente que tú, más gitano y más torero».Sacó Paquiro el reló y dijo de esta manera: «Este toro ha de morir antes de las cuatro y media».Al dar las cuatro en la calle se salieron del café y era Paquiro en la calle un torero de cartel.
