"dullards" poems
My auspicious and audacious assault augments the annoyance of aged accomplices. My bodacious broadside of boffolas berates and buffaloes bros beneficently. A classy crusade Clownishly chiseling and criticizing childishness. A devilish ********** of dillydallying dullards; devoutly denying dimwits the dulcet dream of defiance. Excessive, exuberant edification, ebulliently eliminating education-evictees. A fair-weather frolic in flippancy with furious fools floundering in flawed foppishness. Gregariously grating glum guys gleefully, growing grander garnishes of gripping gallantry gaily. Heckling hooligans highlights my heavenly humor. Irreverently irking irritable, iniquitous idiots in inestimably infuriating and incredible instances. A jolly, jocular **** joking with jerks. A kreiger kicking kleptomaniacs in the karyotype. (Cut me some slack, this is 'k', after all.) A ludicrous, laughing lambaste of lollygagging lunatics, loftily loosing luscious lunacy on lucky losers. A magnificent masterpiece of malfeasance, a monstrous, malevolent mission of massive misfortune for the minor minors missing no malicious missive. A noxious, narcissistic niggling of nitwits, niftily nixing the noisome naivete of niggardly nobs. An offhand, off-color outburst of outlandish observations to outclass the obnoxious overtures of obsequious offal. A pragmatic prediction of possible platitudes or platypi, a placid parley of pyrotechnic pleasantries provoking Pyrrhic protections by prurient prats. A quixotic quibble quarreling with a queer quarry. Ribald ribbing, ruining the robust reality of the repreachful, repugnant, and rapacious with risque ridiculousness. A silly, slighting slander of sluglike slavishness, succinctly sinking sloppy simpletons sourly. Tracing the titillating talent of towing tyranny to towering terrors to tactless, togless, terrapins of the times.

I Happy are men who yet before they are killed Can let their veins run cold. Whom no compassion fleers Or makes their feet Sore on the alleys cobbled with their brothers. The front line withers. But they are troops who fade, not flowers, For poets' tearful fooling: Men, gaps for filling: Losses, who might have fought Longer; but no one bothers. II And some cease feeling Even themselves or for themselves. Dullness best solves The tease and doubt of shelling, And Chance's strange arithmetic Comes simpler than the reckoning of their shilling. They keep no check on armies' decimation. III Happy are these who lose imagination: They have enough to carry with ammunition. Their spirit drags no pack. Their old wounds, save with cold, can not more ache. Having seen all things red, Their eyes are rid Of the hurt of the colour of blood for ever. And terror's first constriction over, Their hearts remain small-drawn. Their senses in some scorching cautery of battle Now long since ironed, Can laugh among the dying, unconcerned. IV Happy the soldier home, with not a notion How somewhere, every dawn, some men attack, And many sighs are drained. Happy the lad whose mind was never trained: His days are worth forgetting more than not. He sings along the march Which we march taciturn, because of dusk, The long, forlorn, relentless trend From larger day to huger night. V We wise, who with a thought besmirch Blood over all our soul, How should we see our task But through his blunt and lashless eyes? Alive, he is not vital overmuch; Dying, not mortal overmuch; Nor sad, nor proud, Nor curious at all. He cannot tell Old men's placidity from his. VI But cursed are dullards whom no cannon stuns, That they should be as stones. Wretched are they, and mean With paucity that never was simplicity. By choice they made themselves immune To pity and whatever mourns in man Before the last sea and the hapless stars; Whatever mourns when many leave these shores; Whatever shares The eternal reciprocity of tears

Demagogues of our society; daftly delivering disarming delusions of decrepit delights. Dealing in powder, rock and liquid death, demurely doled out in droves to the willing unconscious, dysfunctional deviants of the land. Blindly offering devotions, flaccid devotions to plastic, white collar deities; giving new definition to internal deformity, through decelerated dejection. Desperate and emotionally dismembered, defrauded by quick, cheap decadence, debauchery, and mental decay in many deliriously delicious forms...pick a flavor, name your poison! Delegate your defect, as those with doctoral degrees in defunct traditions do deviously delineate their demented designs...for our future. DejaVu? Perhaps, but in fact, it is we who sniff, inject and drink up their drivel, decidedly and dutifully depleted of intellect by way of dubious data. Duplicitous dullards...sanitize and deodorize their fiendish lies...as we, WE do nothing! Not enough of us dumbfounded or dumbstruck by their deceitful smiles. Full of dread and deep dismay, by the statutes of the day...I, for one, will dream of better days, when we shall defeat these diabolical demons. But for now, down beaten, downtrodden; we will continue to be denigrated for the duration. Clever dissection; dumb as they want you to be, disparity of all creativity...individuality... and all of your rights...controversially. Our disgruntled displeasure doomed...to fall on dormant hearts...and we, debilitated and daunted, lives dismantled, are now forever haunted, by our freedoms demise...by days we could question their smiling lies. Demagogues; Big Brother...such delinquents dosing up the masses with a deluge of powder, rock sedation and liquid elation...pick your flavor, name your poison. At the end of the day WE are ONE...duped, defaced, defeated...and to continue on this road, our final denouement will come disturbingly disguised...as DEATH! -by Mercurychyld Copyrights

♠ ♠ ♠ Pseudo-Oriental visions Haiku, Tanka, exotic terms Vapid New Age vibe-transmissions proliferating eastern germs… Anarchistic thought collages Existential lacerations Nihilistic heart-massages Incoherent lamentations, Communism on a mission, grievance-mongering, stewed in hate; pounding Fascist fusion/fission chanting harshly “ours the state”, Hymns to Gods who choked on ***** undertaken in overdose; rocks that never rose to comet rolling – but ending comatose, Hipster ironies, tongue in chic Metro-wimps who feign the normal, Redneck rantings up the creek semaphoric,  semi-formal, matron’s maudlin observations, motivational hypnosis, (sentimental medications offered prior to diagnosis), coldly abstract neo-nonsense read (by dullards) as cutting edge, letters void of correspondence; well-trimmed words’ linguistic hedge. Climate whining (tried untrue) with eco-prophecies warning doom, Wiccans and tree-sprites trying to undo the curse and lift the gloom, Feministic tribal ranting, Race-complaining, agitation, GLBT gallivanting – all are blights upon our nation. Boring modernist excess, (no longer daring  –  formulaic) confounds –  yet never can address what’s wrong, and so becomes prosaic. Lists like this are perhaps  the worst; another symptom of our times: we who are woefully unversed in rhythmic complaining that rhymes.

Stuff Poetry Hates:
The all faith popes were flaming atheists, all two thousand leagues of stacked sea, sending out their **** hole flotillas on carillon arks stacked ten tiers deep with homing doves, tithe teething continents of dithering dullards, the poor mouthed succulent souls that have so, so over crowded a once peaceful heaven to render this one blue ball a hell on earth.

The all faith popes
My life is poetry and yours is prose I can mean things nobody knows All hidden away in my sweet sharp mind A thousand guesses are guessed just fine But they read you better all straight and clear There's no scheming with rhyme all messy and queer Though I'm simple enough to decipher and see For minds majorly lazy nor dullards ain't free Away, I sit where old red roses bloom Alone, burning minutes this afternoon My tears are stuck behind my eyes This bitter beauty beneath grime disguised Fumbling around while fair skin bakes The city is quiet now, make no mistake I think awhile and then go to wander on These roses belong to all and so to none One cool jet of water tries to pass for a fountain A man in short shorts strides by unaccounted Laughing at how I’m besotted with my own malaise I must remind myself that a poet’s task is to praise But it’s terribly hard to make shields without sarcasm And loopy concerns will throw wise men toward spasms It’s almost better to float through hydrocodone dreams wide awake Than to sing futilely of sand and flights and smiles felt not faked For this insult to suffering can’t end quickly enough And the Suessical rhythm leaves much to rebuff Despite luxurious lucidity the inconsequence falls on Until next year’s parade and hope of less scorching suns Because I’m not like the roses I’m not like the water I’m not like the dude whose shorts won’t go farther Maybe you’ll realize finally after thrice the **** crows That my life is poetry but yours is, darling, still prose.

She woke upon the plain, all distant and alone Nostalgia stirred the air, an acrid smell like hope Lofty goals and grand ambition, To them a dullards joke A shift to foot, and all is healed As happy as could be All wishes granted, all needs fulfilled For all eternity Wistful thoughts are stopped at source Still before mind’s eye a question brought, Is it heavens crèche or hell itself Upon our kin we’ve wrought?

An Intelligent future
Archie Monroe, the swollen bell ringer of Lavender Moor, Is looking to sell his copper claw, His wartime Horlick’s pedals, And his ferocious bone lick with its wet mink sheath. He half believes in two thirds of a God every other end of the day. He believes in St. Clank, and the spanking of the parable, He believes in the Holy Bee and the miracle of the monocle. He's walking all lookable He talks about succulent; The warm unbuttoned government; The other worldly succubus, And tickled sinners such as us Who never want to make a fuss. The curled up nurse of Russia Road is building ghosts of crimson brick, Hurting the sick, and Christmas pale With the poisoned tip of her sharpened nail. She nestles by comparison with the dullards of noon. Who would have thought it expensively cruel To do it in the dentist froth, Now that she's lost in Hoxton Square? Barely able to breath; Hairy and **** Sticky to the last. See the violent and widespread bed spasms of Arbuckle’s bottle, And the lamp lit cancer of corrosive blue whining, The ill mannered throat-goose And the manicured miscarriage of Mendleson's twenty fourth mother. Felix was peeling We knew it to be true, Even back then In the pickled omentum. The pompous rebuffs and the transparent gloves of yawning; It seemed not she like. See the museum’s scratched trumpet mask of medical sod, And the soft dissection of the ink ***** Implements of ticking and slip with the slow itch and clop. The anatomy doll, all green and glad; Its uncertain internal shrinking of Crippen; The skull’s Baron of the Intact Apparent. She cradles her parents in terrified liver Resembling dill with an unusual, excitable finish. Meanwhile out in Kraków: The idiotic London guillotine shop Shows eight obscene operation reveals trembling on a saucer. This, I'm unafraid to never say, is not almost uncertainly bowel pay.

Haiku (one percenters)
theres a place i go, far away from all this, where a flicker of light, sparks a shadow of thought, every once in a while, i need it, to revive me. nobody knows, and even less care, so i stare straight at the daring sun, whiling away the time, it chooses, to give me. from a little peace and a little quiet, my mind races past the days dullards, spinning the winnings and casting the losses, it is the moment ive waited for, unleashing the chasm of questions, answers flooding in, with crushing clarity, i force it, to stir me.

nowhere you'd know
The Dallards are not hip to the fact that aging, sickness and death are pervasive The No-Shows still have their auspicious wealth and derive their generic credence from portion control The Dullards and No-Shows are a package deal, buy one get one free They are deathless Due to their coping mechanisms They wait to swim a half hour after they eat in lieu of their over indulgent and impatient tendencies Weak minded fools who cannot see the fine line between integrity and despair

The Dullards And The No-Shows
With the inhalation of bullets, as a diversion and a force to forget, and have a neglection of the one baptized as supreme, then yells exigency at the pointless. all and sundry overhead are run by the dullards, whose power was never absolute, had an opportunity to resolute. Beloved land of democracy, whom produced kakistocracy. To all and sundry dux: “ad infernum apud vos”

Old, like putrid gore
the behemmoth distracted misanthropic lens falls wayside for a moment, i saw you beautiful in frail light as it dimmed to a dullards thoughts again, you could never catch that distracted wandering thought, never put your finger on the distant far cornered cry, bewildered you wept for it, still a blind beggar in a land of evil seers. one morning you awoke unshackled and having a drunkards clarity you spoke, but you spoke too soon, no one heard you and no one cared.

Memories of a forgotten future
The Holy Land neath hammer blows - is this what Jesus prophesied: when sad-sack’s hanged like mistletoes the sightless see a suicide; when thousands fall like dominoes the blind deny it’s homicide; when women fry in thermal throes the gents reject it’s femicide when rockets slaughter embryos the fools forget it’s feticide when children die and decompose the dullards doubt infanticide; when bodies burn with afterglows no one concedes it’s genocide. Whichever way the west wind blows leaves morals dangling, crucified…

The Holy Land
I wonder if you would miss the little things that I do When I'm around you. The way I yawn in the mornings The way I thank you in German. Always the same. I know I'd miss all things you do. The way you look at me and laugh when I do those stupid little things. Let us live as dullards do. We can live in ignorance. Not knowing what do. You look at me. I look at you. We smile and whisper goodnight. And we sleep Until the morning light. Shall I live in ignorance? If it's to make you happy, I shall.

**** Can't believe I'm still here It's been a crazy couple of years Crazy in the scene, now I'm going crazy Innocence taste Just as good as it once did Just like they once did Took some **** Now I couldn't ******* dream of ... It It being above me Somewhere Why the hell did no one seem to care?.. So self aware Of my brainwaves In this cramped and damp space Dullards are lucky **** I wish i could pick up a sawed off And get these kids Of my **** lawn Then blow my brains All before the break of dawn And the break of my fast I fasted change Turns out all i got to eat Is beans and toast **** I guess i'll starve then Back to the wall Covered in  faces mocking me I know it Show the rest of yourself Then the youth you Use as an excuse for good health Won't do you much good This is my neighborhood Down here all alone God **** I wish this house was a home This grass could grow Up my ankles I'm as thankless as angles With big **** Just missing some grace Or some **** Rest in piece, more like (Heh) Rust in place I'm so alone....

its all a sham lesser people with lesser worth the little child who hides behind mother's skirt and sticks out a tongue in awe and afraid of talent and status they could never have or reach never attainable they hide behind skirts poking out tongues and spewing snorts from ***** noses and when I rile them good or hit a very raw nerve the lily-livered drips try to produce responses that laughably fall off the mark and show even more dullness the duds and dullards, the pathetic unfulfilled poltroons the lessers who can't sustain anything real, bright and worthy The sham talent-less spine-less under-achievers full of weaknesses and inadequacies the women all know you are useless

Who, if not I, shall drag this weary art from the grave? Who, if not I, shall stitch its tattered lungs and bid it breathe? The rest of them—dullards, clowns, worshippers of hollow verse— they scribble in their mediocrity, praising each other’s drool as if genius were a group activity. But I—oh, I—am the last flicker of divinity left in this sorry world. A benevolent god, bestowing clarity where there is only fog. My kindness—a gift—a burden, even! For what is it to be kind, when one is so vastly beyond the scrawling masses? Oh, how exhausting it is to save poetry while balancing the delicate weight of my own madness. How tragic, how noble, how unbearably beautiful to suffer for a world that cannot grasp my suffering. Yes, yes—I see the whispers in their eyes, the adoration curled in their reluctant praise. They know, as I know, as the gods themselves must know, that without my hand, my vision, my voice— poetry would collapse into dust, and no one would even notice. And yet, I persist. I give, endlessly, despite the torment of being the only one who truly understands. Because if not I—who?

Ode to the Last Poet Alive
Who knows what is on the other side? What monsters lie lurking beyond the stone walls and multiple doors Perhaps long-forgotten secrets you and I have hidden away Erasing unwanted memories from our minds forevermore Will we find heaven the oh so sought promised golden land? Or fires of the unspoken one waiting that scorch us and burn Is condemnation to the netherworld our unchangeable fate? Without us would the world continue to turn? Take a glance and tell me what is on the other side Is it a plane of my mind which some say does not exist For lack of imagination, some cannot see it Others do boring dullards but simply resist Are their stars made of glass on the other side? Do emotions flow like fine wine? Do the sea waves roar with song green and salty? Or will they die with the passing of time? Are there precious stones strewn about the ground like sand diamonds? While a blue moon hangs high in the sky. Is the evil of mankind waiting and laughing? On the other side For a seized opportunity to overcome us all Are all our desires fulfilled completely? Or do the shadows reign dark and tall? I believe will forge ahead and go around the corner Instead a sitting like a smiling fool on a self-made shelf I will take a look closer look at the other side And decide if I will travel there myself All Rights Reserved @ Tammy M.

The Other Side
You have to keep your eyes on them, you know the little men with big ideas bigger ears and smaller minds. They're out there watching what you do willing to run you through with a sabre and yet we labour for them same men, call them Sir do we think they care or have a clue? You have to keep your wits about you otherwise they put upon you I never trust them. And it's not just them there are 'They' the Sken eyed little squints flint hard but dullards. Seems that Friday is the time, when idiots form a line to see who is best at idiocy it is plain to me as clear as day it's them and they that rule the roost.
