"deniers" poems
The world is full of shade and prose And I don’t know what to do anymore Audre Lorde said “silence will not protect you” But I been weaving my silences into a survivor’s quilt Because I’m tired of surviving And I’m cold and want to use it as my blanket Out there in that cold *** world The world is full of shade and prose *** workers on boulder highway Wanna be poets writing in spanglish White privilege, patriarchy and all I kinda wish I’d write songs instead of poems You know, songs about love But no Cuz the world is full of shade and prose Bus stops/stop and frisk Judgment day enthusiasts/Holocaust deniers I am tired of “it happened before I was born” And “I feel guilty but I did not ask to be privileged” And when I say: Then do something They ask me “what?” I reply: NO The world is full of shade and prose The chicken never made it across the street There is so much deconstruction And so little relief We will soon end up homeless And will have to pawn the master’s tools Or maybe just sell them at the swapmeet For a dollar or two I mean who cares as long as we’re in love If at the end The world is full of shade and prose.

The wrong, as always, was the right for us, tainted trust stained with the blood of our previous victims; those whims of wondering what loving touch could feel like. It burnt us, softened us to smoke, that floated quiet out the door before dawn could break the news and break the illusion. We were loners, Devoted to laying the stones of our own path, Never held back tangles of commitment. Without them we were untethered dreams that broke into reality and made ourselves the monarchs of our lowley, lonely kingdoms. Look what those whims have done to our crowns; Rusty and bent they fall hapless on our heads as we stand before crowds of shadows cast by our egos. There are no romances, no capes, Princes or heroes in this land of the leftovers. Only us The wrong adorned as right The deniers of the light of love (That weakness of giving in and giving all). How cold it all becomes when our dreams are big but hearts are empty.

Kingdom of empty hearts
If you cannot be outraged into disbelief No matter how evil the matter reported How can you believe in a Good God? Do you not say to yourself what kind Of a god allows this-Not Mine!  Does A loving parent no matter how liberal Ever knowingly allow his child to do A grave injury to his fellow people? I think not.  Freedom has its limits That our true nature is grateful for. Let me ask would you prefer that There were no Holocaust deniers or That there we no Holocaust.  I know The Argument that we must Keep Evil in our memory so as prevent it Ever happening again.  How does The saying go: No news is good news- But it doesn't sell papers. I am not Against fiction just glad that it is Fiction.  But you say: What of the Truth?  When Pilot asked Jesus What is the the truth? Jesus made no Answer except by His silence.  Yes Silence is Golden. He did not answer Neither should you or I.  I know this. Bu we know in our hearts what Love Would have Be.  Thy Kingdom come Thy will be done on Earth as in Heaven That is Our prayers that it be so Forever Oh God  Help Us to Lift up our hearts. And When have we ever been prevented From doing wrong by hearing about it .its just Plain wrong.

A Silver Song
They came in search of incredible sun, seduced by cicadas and an easy time; extraneous baggage with nothing to declare. Two days in: Sister Rose shrivels on her browning stem; survives on lettuce leaves and cheap wine. Pitiable by design, knowing perfectly she's past her beauty max. At her feet: The blue pool cups cured hide of idle heat-crazed beast unleashed from his computer belt- a doughboy moulded to his insubstantial boat- afloat for fourteen days! Entwined- my crazy brother reclines with his latest lover to share 'delightful' elderflower champagne through a single straw, ****** together by their eyes. And in the shade: mother sits it out in floral silk, sustained by seventy deniers and her would-have-liked ideals- the shadow of a lattice grill tatooed across her brow. Then as the just deserts arrive, and darted looks are handed round, I glower at the heat - crazed ground and muse-  'it's time to go,' ........but they would never forgive me..

i feel the young have been cheated in terms of history, there's no personality in it, there's no humanity behind it, there's no grandfather behind it, they have all been told they're essential, essentially human, they write it like they were in eden, there's no past, they're passive deniers but active censors... at least i can claim my great grandfather owned a wehrmacht dagger. as long as he’s housebound he’s safe, as long as he's censored he's an export; the paternal great grandfather was in the wehrmacht and the maternal grandfather was a communist party member; i guess the weekend starts with a friday in a club, and ends in b & q on a sunday combo of blinds and toilet paper... but i guess the highlights are gone by then... don't worry... i'll comfort myself.

Her words will light a fire underneath deniers, eye-to- eye, take on the liars, I, too have too long uttered silence while our children quietly despised us, we, even me who knew, choked it down the unclean smoke unspoken yes, how dare we leave this life behind for generations to bare our crimes, and yet they rise above to breathe fresh air the clean O2 of burning desire searing, shouting utter truth to wake the world, to sing and single out, to recognize a lie when it is a lie, FIERCE like fire, beautifully reactionary aflame, to inflame, now is here your time, rebel, my rebel child fight for your very life, your future children, species, for all mankind.

FIERCE, like fire
Just stop. Dont waste your time growing your mind on my perspective. Its similar to the colective after getting contraceptives from the medias aggressive deceptive since childhoods progressive attentive. I didn't learn anything newer than you. We both got ******* by the driver of our nations fire. Shot of ***** included to help believe the deniers when they said those kids weren't killed because of their suppliers of judgment handed down thru People, Cosmo, or Enquire. We turned a closed eye to the horrific mess just to have the light of advertisement dance its color over our flesh. We dont want to think less of ourselves after all, ego cant handle anything being its own fault. So, lets blame blacks, gays, muslims, mexicans, trans, asians, preteens and their abortions, little people, disfigured fighters, mentally handicapped, single moms, single dads, the homeless pulling all nighters, the blind, the deaf, the suicidal, the bulimic, the anorexic, the institutionalized wild, the lost kids orphaned, illegally imported, Native Americans, Indians, anyone close to the Mediterranean, or from an Island in the South Pacific sea, anyone that looks, thinks, breaths different from me. Which should be no body, but you don't seem to believe so. You can't see that deep inside, our souls are made out of substance brighter than gold. You only see flesh with that closed eye. So open it and discover the lives behind. And if you think I spew only lies then go back to the beginning when I said stop reading and quit wasting everyone's time.

The tree are whispering in hushed silent tones Their voices carried softly by the wind Caressing the whole forest with their hymns Suffused in their cries, the arrogance And greed, and vanity of men Men that were tasked to guard creation! Their chants deafening, echoing, increasing In brave tumultuous waves Growing ever louder Pushing the rivers and tributaries into the seas Infused in the currents The laments of the helpless Trampled, and ravaged, and killed With violence and impunity! Be wary of the axeman, the hunter, and the miner They are lurkers, waiting in the dark canopies Waiting for a chance to **** and pillage To **** the forest out of its wits Until it loses its lushness and vitality 'Til it surrenders its grip from the divine earth! Be wary of the forest ranger For they are the ones that orchestrates The relentless and appalling ****** That decimates lives, hopes, and aspirations They perpetuate the madness They are the harbingers of chaos, they are destruction Their charm, vile and putrid To ever allow them recite their prose would be death! But never despair, The sleepers have woken Those with quiet ears slowly hears the noise and commotion The deniers have silenced their self-serving lips Await that moment, when the silence is fractured By the forest, howling in raging defiance Justice will be swift, the wolves will be unraveled as sheep! And only then says the oldest of the trees Can the children of the forest roam free.

The trees are whispering...
I want to be better. But not the kind of better you see on the billboards advertising gyms or the ones mentioned in the hymns sung by entire choirs of liars and deniers of bad desires. I want to be better in the worst way possible. I want to play air-guitar concerts for stuffed animals, I want to be able to smile in a way that leaves contempt snuffed out like a candle-cap. I want to be able to rap in Chinese. I want to be able to reinvent the word 'cool', hang out with absolute tools and not just because somebody has to. I want to be able to rule my own mind and mind my own rules. I want to find my running shoes so when I go to the fight behind the dollar store, I'll remember what I bought them for. I want to be so much more and all these issues I can't ignore be much less. I want to make myself confess how much I love my friends, turn dead-ends into new beginnings and then spend my lottery winnings on a stranger because the only danger I see is never having been able to know them. The truth is, I'll never be the icon of an attractive guy. I'm never be able to buy a girl a drink and not have her immediately think of what kind of a clod I am that thinks that kind of thing still works. I keep finding myself trying to rewrite my history where the cliffhanger at the end has a parachute. Where minute details matter less and I can say I tried my best and people noticed. I will one day be better but I'll always still be me and honestly, I think I'd still sell my inheritance to put enough money down the wishing well to make the two days you were in love with me swell into an eternity. But we both have other things to be doing than loving someone. We have legacies we have to build on the our bare backs and suicide attacks that need to be led. And let it be said that I have not a clue-'n'-half how this turned into a love poem... but in my head there is a world where in that time and place, I didn't need to be better. I wasn't perfect. I was good enough.

I want to make myself confess how much I love my friends, turn dead-ends into new beginnings and then spend my lottery winnings on a stranger because the only danger I see is never having been able to know them. The truth is, I'll never be the icon of an attractive guy. I'm never be able to buy a girl a drink and not have her immediately think of what kind of a clod I am that thinks that kind of thing still works. I keep finding myself trying to rewrite my history where the cliffhanger at the end has a parachute. Where minute details matter less and I can say I tried my best and people noticed. I will one day be better but I'll always still be me and honestly, I think I'd still sell my inheritance to put enough money down the wishing well to make the two days you were in love with me swell into an eternity. But we both have other things to be doing than loving someone. We have legacies we have to build on the our bare backs and suicide attacks that need to be led. And let it be said that I have not a clue-'n'-half how this turned into a love poem... but in my head there is a world where in that time and place, I didn't need to be better. I wasn't perfect. I was good enough.

Twenty eighteen has come and gone, And all I can say is, What a year! That twenty nineteen will also be Just as crazy is crystal clear. Mass shootings once again Shook the country, taking a toll On all of us, and yet very little Has been done about gun control. Always the center of controversies, Trump again tried to assuage The public by pleading ignorance When Stormy Daniels took center stage. Then we learned that Trump had paid Hush money to flings at least TWICE In hopes to secure his chances of winning The twenty sixteen election. How nice! A lot of Trump's team have left Through the admin's revolving door, Always mired in controversy. There are bound to be many more. Trump has proved he loves his tyrants More than he loves our allies and friends. Ignoring advice from experts, he'll do Whatever Putin recommends. Hurricanes caused major flooding; California was ravaged by fires. Yet dire warnings go unheeded By stalwart climate change deniers. The separation of families seeking Asylum showed a callous side Of Trump and his team, whose inhumane Actions cannot be denied. Year two of investigations… Manafort, Gates, Cohen, and Flynn Are talking more, while the walls Around Donald Trump are closing in. Meanwhile Trump continues to lie. There's no end to his subterfuge. How many lies? Eight thousand? And Giuliani plays his stooge. Kavanagh got a Supreme Court seat After a sham investigation, Which shows how Trump maintains the belief: What's good for Trump is good for the nation. November saw a welcome blue wave Sweep through the House. Such a delight! This should end Nunes' obstruction Of justice. There will be oversight! We lost three prominent people: Barbara and George Bush and McCain. Very few members of The old Republican guard remain. Trump cannot stop harping on His WALL--a waste of money and time. With our crumbling infrastructure, Building his "wall" would be a crime. What will the New Year bring forth? Perhaps an indictment? Perhaps an arraignment? Since Trump loves to be the star, THAT'S what I'd call entertainment! -by Bob B (1-1-19)

They said it was a category five Thank god its roar Turn into a category four Laying waste to many a life Wiping away the property The Caribbean’s sign of liberty From the mishap of Grenada in 1983 10 dead They can still look ahead But the thoughts keep going to Florida But didn’t think Trump kept you in his thoughts did ya Took you a while to get the evacuation through As the political tensions grew And Trump declared it as not good not good The closest you can come to trifling is by saying that Irma isn’t the result of a good mood But enough chitter chatter because there is an SOS on the rise In such a situation climate deniers consider climate change to be the reason as their surmise Rush Limbaugh cannot see the truth Because his face is buried deep in the smoke that will pollute Hurricane Irma I pray the woman in your name understands and leaves the children alone Because there are no sins to atone for if they are orphaned and dead alone They’ll be on the prowl for food and money and liquor and ending up appraising the days that are sunny But funnily anyway they are because you business ******* have increased your influx of money from the disaster stricken many Water, air trips you’ve been taking business studies from **** Cheney

Haiku (flagellant)
In the wake of his convention And the primary season, too, Would it be at all surprising That I feel profoundly blue? How can one devoid of nuance, For whom life’s a win-lose play, Be considered for the real world, Where one deals with matters gray? Aren’t you alarmed public service Was naught to this seventy-year-old, Till he sought the highest office To boost his brand of tarnished gold? Under a symbol endangered, Facing crisis elephantine, Isn’t it ironic, his ticket of Deniers blithely mocks the green? Can a worshipper of Mammon, Who shamelessly on others tread, Cheating, abusing, extorting, Win over fans of Vermont red? Should we really need to conjure Il Duce or the Corporal To reject bans, walls – hate so vile – And tilt the states of purple? Don’t you notice undercurrents In the “make again” broken track, Calling former would-be masters To clean DC of Kenya black? So will you stand this year with her, Imperfect, cautious, yet mostly right, To ensure a dangerous clown Is nowhere near the House of White?

The Thew Of Phantasmagoria <for Sanders Maurice Foulke III> The Thew Of Phantasmagoria the muscles of the brain, design bridges, author poems, obviously the strongest force upon the Earth, whence & where the powerful coiling of our mortal coexistence energies be stored & unleashed muscles summon previous unknowns, establishing neural connectivity between colliding galaxies, undiscovered planetary rings, using kinetics to create a vocabulary for the express purpose of astounding creation the modest only dare inquire of themselves in wondrous silence how came this thematic landscape, new language, to escape my optics, my ken, my viewfinder, purview,  essential essence sensories? the deniers claim magic lanterns, optical illusions, love, par example, they ascertain, a chemical imbalance stimulates the sensorineural, mocking those who believe the comet’s tail visible wags its orbital path this poem abstruse, yet full of truths, a working man’s lunch pail full of fine china chicanery, fooling those who observe only exteriors, but we who live on bounded islands recognize safe passages available when the thew of the phantasmagorical is debunked, acknowledging that for something to be truly true, it must be agreed upon by two, thus creating a language clarifying even if it’s punctuated by shadows 621pm 23-2-2020 IP lmn
