"devolution" poems
Well, what a week, full of revelation Enough to stir this talk of revolution Makes your hackles turn on end Then send you round the bend The southern gentry have found oil Right beneath their derriere boil Now most of us on this golden isle Need not worry about this pile Those who wear weekend country tweed, Built their fortunes from housing greed Have already decided That it will be one sided They’ll say it’s theirs, by rights And if we argue, will read our last rites The South will declare independence In certainty of their full ascendance Over the outer reaches of this nation They pounded into servitude, by taxation And if we have the nerve to debate, I’ll be bound They’ll leave it horded in the ground, Then blame the anti frackin’ hound Now I may need a political re - education In a 1984 establishment for rehabilitation But I can see it coming a five-nation island Southland, Wales, Scotland, N. Ireland, And the Detritus

Fracking Hell ... Devolution (But not as we know it!)
All weapons of    the fates you've sealed Are no match for    this pen I wield The power to    articulate Ticking rhyme bombs    to detonate The conflicts waged    gambling mankind My perfect hand    is treaties signed Hellbent hounds pray   like dogs, I hunt Frontline this notebook   battlefront With metaphors   of mindless drones   Like similes   to brainwashed clones Whose C4 booms   and IED's Can't build bridges   like ABC's Or tear them down   with death regimes By rusting through   the war machines Flamethrowin’ my   verbal grenade With ****** noun   scorched-earth tirade   On militant   cold-blood elite King cobras know   I'm packing heat Seeking missile   resolution Winged raptor   devolution Prehistoric   barbarism Literacy   cataclysm Stockpiling   extinction bones We're cavemen carving   fallout stones My Hiroshima   prose explodes With nuclear   bushido codes Released from my     katana's ward To free my press   from shogun lord Oppressing haiku   imagery   And samurai   epigraphy   Expressions of   my ronin soul Omitted by   the daimyo Satsuma is my   poetry     My final draft's   Nagasaki    Ink cartridges   strapped 'round my neck I print no charge   or background check And ****** every   live round free Of innocent   blood elegy And killing sprees   of gunned-down news Domestic violence   black and blues A Number 2   pencil dependent Obsolete   lead-head amendment Open carry   shoots a blank Empty shell case   at my think tank So grip this peace   then **** and pull it **** my diction   write the bullet

her face a bold echo of all she left behind a slow symphony of nasty things that linger in her mind she lives them over and over in the off color technical vision of an artist trying on her own guises for a adventure the night crawls over her thigh lodges in the warm wet of her fingers and spreads into the windows grey fades into black the slow devolution into the jaundiced eye into the nicotine stained tapping fingers as she impatiently waits for words that can never be spoken aloud the slow desire for tears so deep and immediate that its a bible to the lonely soul and her senses deny you even as you touch the door even as you evaporate down the hall melt yourself into the humid night so fair is her face that you live each of thouse seconds in dire regret so fair is her touch that you must lean on your last breath to let go the night crawls in her bed clothes laying its fetid eggs like a stain of pollution tender and sickly sweet its insect face bitter staring from her soul now i see you you escape over and over door hall humid night door hall humid night but you never leave narrow her eye jaundiced and rancid lay open for the world to see and be seen by and she molds him to the stain of her hurt deep impressions over the years leaves him little room to wiggle wiggle worm, wiggle wiggle worm

wiggle wiggle worm
It has never been my intension nor was it ever a bone of contention to alter or disrupt the social convention but now is the time to pay close attention to the decline of the human condition Responsibility rescinded creating moral decomposition accountability abandoned causing legal repercussion right and wrong are muddled in a malicious juxtaposition public opposition has festered into social imperfection the omission of tradition by politician’s redefinition HEED THIS ADMONITION OR ARDENT APPREHENSION SAGACIOUS SUSPICION AND PERSISTANT PREVENTION Of the decommission of the Physician, Pediatrician the Technician, and the Mathematician and give this acquisition to those with no ambition even those under suspicion of sedition or held in detention without fear of restitution This is the deception of the devolution of the middle classification and the total destruction of American personification praise the Lord and pass the ammunition

THE OMISSION OF TRADITION
vast vivid wilderness analyze politicians mind hypocrites world dies in lies moral devolution,hiding in white lose of mind,gravity inside zero nothing, sometime 1 is a separate thing a velvet plaything breathing in the fumes lobotomized muse trying to do what is right don't forget, never forget to start walking in the grey memories they slowly fade from this harsh reality exist inside, resist tide inside you'll see it die justify your wicked mind the eyes torture tantalize 3 rings, out in time bombarding mind find it not linear time time line separate thing velvet plaything treated like lobotomized dogs vast vivid life of pain wires forced into my brain trying to do what is right don't forget, never forget to start walking in the grey memories they slowly fade from this harsh reality exist inside, resist tide inside you'll see it die justify your wicked mind

Evolution or Devolution
*I don't like him He is a nuisance I don't like him I'd fond his death I don't like him I'd share nothing with him I don't like him I would like to gouge his eyes out Until they pop. Until blood-tears scream down His ******* face I form mucous to Spit in his ******* snake face I want to see bits of his skull torn out I do not like him I want to squeeze through my hands in the decapitated Head and grab out his ******* brain, Bits of his skull I would like that. Gone he'd be I would like that I would like to hurt him I don't like him I want to see all his ******* blood Pour majestically out of every ******* opening, every hole I see of his, I want his greedy black heart Suffocated with cyanide I want his poisoned soul ******* Burned until I smell His burning, searing flesh That screams with help I would to do all of this and laugh and laugh I wish he would realize how much he has gained Then, I will excrete on his ugly ******* red car. I dream morbid, I dream morbid lovely thoughts to leave his Lifeless whore-self in the ugly ******* red car For him to rot he shall as a male-slag A **** of degenerate foolery Unjust as unwise, he froths degradation A form of devolution, As treacherous cliffs weakened from sun and water Treachery engrossed with black thoughts As he falls he will bring all, who he can find to fall with him Drenched with whoreness A ******* thought enriches degenerate I would dream to castrate him Destroy his club, **** the ******* worm Turn unto **** **Turn unto **** Turn unto platter of wet sponges Turn him into a casket of bleeding organs I do, I do not like him, No I do not. Filthy Male-Whore, **** His corpse shall forever mold with self-hatred Disgusting waste of gluttonous entity. Biological waste universal waste I do not like him Blood chunks pool over out of his skull I do not like him, All his filth-blood Dried out, I do not like him Tongue pulled out, neck snapped Brain matter scooped out, the ******* worm Thief, Cheat, Male-Whore. I do not like him But I do not hate him.*

Altruism devolution
So often I feel like you are fruit Placed gently on me, a sandpaper offering plate. I do not want to hold you so roughly, But there are things I am still learning Placed gently on me, a sandpaper offering plate My rough rubs you slowly, But there are things I am still learning. How we are unto diamonds. My rough rubs you slowly, Until we are evenly raw. How we are unto diamonds; I wish I was that soft. Until we are evenly raw, This feels like the devolution of beauty. I wish I was that soft. Something similar to dying fruit. This feels like the devolution of beauty. Soon you will no longer be sweet. Something similar to dying fruit. And I am a sandpaper monster still learning, And so often I feel like you are fruit.

So Often This Feels (A Pantoum)
Pacing the corridor I see your face In every turn In every break The ghost of my lover The ghost of my friend Please follow me The bleakness of this colorless life will break me with out you desperation is devolution My ghost I need you Your vibration is evident The change in my chest The cringe in my body The heat quickly leaving every fiber Its hot… It hurts the pain is deafening

The Dragons (part 1)
You used to show up at my door, broken, and defeated by the world And I'd take you in like a stray, feed you, give your head a place to rest My arms used to be a cradle, A warm, safe place for you to dream Somehow they became a prison, Captivation, soon turned to captivity If I could've stopped this casting From changing our characters You wouldn't be a liar And I wouldn't be a fool You used to undress in front of me, Disarm, expose yourself to me And I'd kiss all of your wounds, dress them, give you something for the pain My eyes used to be your windows They used to be open, and full of light Somehow they are just holes now, Something you can't get out of If I could've stopped this devolution From taking us back in time You wouldn't be a stranger And I wouldn't be a stranger

Devolution
Surely in the distant future historians will find our civilization Appalling, destructive, gluttony, Stricken. Receipts of items that once fulfilled our temporal desires will fill earth creating a toxic compost for life To nourish upon They'll blame us for the decay And devolution of man They'll duly note our fascination With stimulants and violent trends And most of all, they'll be unable To comprehend our impotency our hubris our clemency They'll construct theories That moor our cultural malaise To each recrudescence of tyranny In essence they will despise our very nature. Not out of contempt but out of fear that they too will fall prey to the plague.

"Surely in the distant future..."
In the midst of something crucial diminutive But butts in - Oh, don't you hate that? - just when evolution is expressing itself and here's But to bring in devolution; and so I told BUT recently: But me no Buts X me no Xs Just **** off… *But… But… But…* Oh don't you know when you're not needed? Look here - I'm in the midst of watching that **** **** of that damsel across the green field and here you come butting in It's her swaying **** I'm watching; now, you - flick off! *But… But… But…* And exasperated, I said: OK - What? *But that's not a woman's **** you're watching; it's a bull across the green field - put on your glasses, and you'll see what I mean* And sure enough with my glasses on I could see But had a point - still, But takes away our illusions and so I vent my fury on But: OK, wise guy - so I can see it's a bull; Now get your bull off somewhere else *But… But… But…* Oh, the diminutive, persistent But - it follows one like one's own ****

But
Falling out of nature’s plan, Creatures not worthy of sight, Given more than they could need, Seeking out another fight, Crawling out across the world, Creatures not worthy of speech, Granted more than they deserve, Grasping for what’s out of reach, Breaking out of every line, Creatures not worthy of breath, Gifted more than other beasts, Racing on towards their death.

Devolution
A city brewed with History *A simmered *** of diversity* An empire extended in streams The devolution of solid districts Prided with craftsmen and artisans A showcase of nature at its core Forested and iced mountain tops Valleys plentiful of sweet waters A greenery of wealth and Industrialism A Romania of open heart and miracles Cities of social capital, tourist destinations Initiates of a Western Europe Rebirth A Transylvania of forts and Baroques Cathedrals, and orthodox moments Sibiu a reserve connected to haunted castles

Sibiu: A Romanian Treasure
Aging a progressive and earthy condition Beginning at the top of our life Genesis of a lonely crusade Aging...bone degeneration Tired eyes Lack of elasticity and tone Drying Wrinkles Dark spots Aging… origin of a journal Ending with a final destination Devolution of human existence Declined memory Decadency of cognitive knowledge Agony of Aphrodite Collapse of Eros Unmoistened Venus Aging as evident as irreversible Irremediable condition Impossible battle

Aging
Putting words together is a devolution of self; the soft underwash of sea darkens sand, a faded sun burns out over rooftops of rain, a snow train stops in frost under polar stars; but this is beyond me, over the edge.

Statement
G'day Chaps and Chick-a-Deez This Luna-Tick has Awoken (Again!) And, this Time round, Will be somewhat Outspoken. My confidence is up And doesn't/cannot be deflated; I'm neither here or there, But I am under-rated. To realise is one thing, To release too soon another: While I hate the current system, It both feeds and protects as my Mother. So...slowly, slowly...and Breathe deeply...breath deeply; Let's not get ahead of ourselves And spoil the fun of the Masses. I might be an Adept At Adopting new strategies, But my personal Evolution - unscrewing - Entailed my total undoing - Devolution. The pressure We face when **** hits the wall Should at least be balanced when we know the score. So thank you my friends - the Voiceless believers; I was never going to forget my countless Leaflets.

Mother Nature's Boy, Now Become a Responsible Man?
a fish was attracted to land went to the trouble to grow lungs, crawl panting on a sandy beach, to use newly developed feet so we could follow our own journey back to foamy shores to look out at our old home on holidays and weekends wondering why we bothered to leave in the first place

devolution
sometimes, it's the songs without words, the ones that slip silently beneath the undercurrent, that will seek you out, that will sing you the terrible story of crows to mend your heart, that will whisper what no one will tell you because it's your soul manifest, it's your heart reaching out -- they open themselves slowly, but you have to be careful with them; you have to look at them from afar, and bow, and maybe then, she will open her mouth to you, where not words but wisteria lie, where not passion but pain rest, where everything raw and immaterial pours out in the haze and panic of devolution in the chaos of the earth and skies and all that suffers in between where in the center of the swirling mass amidst the high cries of sorrow and love will be her and just,    her , some songs will move you, shift the light through you, shift the pedestal of surety and blow it right away. some songs will obliterate you, but most will hold you. and when they'll release you, you will fall, and it will be so glorious and so terrifying that you will become a god in the storm and you will know, truly know, then, what it is like to be immortal, to be unhurt and untouched, unmoored and unbridled, impossible against the possibilities of a mortal existence. you will deify.

You can't catch me 22  I'm miles dead ahead of you   Runnin' circles round' you squares With lion shares and grizzly bares Livin' on a cobra's prayer With taboo turpitude'n tongue Conundrums that I'm summon'un The meta-Orpheus has come Since 21, the chosen one I'm neo-hippy rebel **** So ante-uppers, get you some Eleven seven slurpee sun Super-soaking supernovas With a matrix water gun From vats of hydrochloric Spillin' Joker on the masses Turnin' Gotham allegoric Into clown prince rhymes of passion Of a blood of Christ fanatic Jimmy Jones'n as I'm cashin' In the semi-theocratic Weapon cache'n checks imbalanced Chemically unstable attic   Bat **** crazy poison gases Spewin' power-trippin' fascist Cataclysmic autocratic Devolution clash of classes Resolution's prehistoric Meteoric democratic   So I'm risin' from the ashes From dismayin' to conveyin' How I'm goin' super Saiyan When the treasure hordes of Mordor lords Corrupt the men of Numenor For Bard the Bowman heroes Are the roles that I am playin' In shadows of the Arkenstone When I go dragon slayin'

Dragon Slayin'
She steps out of herself Literally speaking. Takes a step Her flesh opens, Her muscles and bones Advance alone. No blood is shed. She's just trying to be true. Takes another step Her muscles fall off They lay on the ground Twitching with energy. Just her bones now. Her bones White and strong Yellowed and brittle Either way They are all that support her now. She has stepped out of herself As much as she can. If she takes another step Will she simply disintegrate?
