"feudalism" poems
She's like a drama queen, Plays the 'blame game' like a loser, Fair minded as a bigot, Wages war like drones, As free as surveillance, As open as privatized prisons, As equal as feudalism, As rich as the beggar masses, Bankrupt as homeowners, Socialist as the military, Truthful, trustful as "NEWS," as propaganda, Pagan as the manufactured Goddess 'Columbia,' Christian as the stingy, Pious as a sinner, Wicked as securities, exchanges on 'Wall Street,' Insecure as an empire, Greedy as a fast food glutton, As brave as a fool, Warmongering as a chicken hawk politician, Machevellian as a coward, As rigged as the free market, As selfish as Capitalism, As tolerant as Islam, Beautiful as a clear cut forest, Charming as a strip mall, Forward thinking as chaos, Lawless as congress, United as a belligerent crowd, Compassionate as a swat team, Green as any petrochemical company, Organic as pollution, Deep as a strip mine  .  .  .   .  .  .

Pluto was just like the rest, Complete a full rotation, wake up and get dressed, Open his eyes, feel the weak beams of sunlight on his chest, Looks upon his brothers and can’t help but be subtly impressed. There was Earth, a real people’s person, Wore turf like makeup, but not in equal proportion To his ever rising water level that always seemed to worsen, And a high population that could sometimes be a burden. Riots and drama and wars blemish like acne, His inhabitants each day getting slowly more crafty, Some think he’s round, others prefer to live flatly, I guess being the most popular isn’t so classy. Jupiter was closer, a real gas giant, Lived all alone with no people to be her clients, But stuck in constant alliance with a star filled tyrant, The universes ring around her finger, a constant engagement. And then there was Pluto, a boy with a strange condition, A condition made worse by a long stellar distance, In a world seemingly endless, it’s time that this came fourth, What was wrong with Pluto you ask? Well he was a dwarf. Due to his small size, Pluto just didn’t quite fit, The little guy in town, but with a slightly bigger orbit The shortest, the furthest, not reachable by any rocket, Until one day the universe did something even more horrid. 2006, the year the family would die, God took his power, and cast Pluto aside, No longer a brother, cast him out and took his pride, Now forever a dwarf planet, it was planet genocide. From that day on, Pluto became distant, He was the same as them, same digestive solar system, But he was victim to prejudice between organisms, A broken existence, due to planetary feudalism.

Everything is absurd. Nothing will ever make sense. Looking for an answer, a purpose is your only answer, and purpose. I won't invent anything to believe in or belive in any invention of man. I Dont believe in anything: rainbows pancakes jackets parents light speed love god the sun stars smoke fire hell kisses music sound movies death life religion answers questions nations nationalities race communism capitalism feudalism nothing. I don't believe in anything but rain on summer days and tectonic plates. It doesn't make sense but then again everything is absurd. I indulge and elaborate.

Belief
Amidst the calamity of self-righteous politicians, I step into my mandate of securing my homeland, A village is in trouble, they said, They failed to mention the looming hidden weapons of destruction. First, my brother steps into the snare, I follow suit for no man in our team falls alone, Ensnared by the enemy, alone and nowhere to run, We stand and fight until we all fall down. Apparently, it wasn't enough that we had fallen, They chopped us up and made us spectacles, Of hatred and feudalism, that oozed from their souls, Our death not in vain as the villagers are safe, Why then now the bigots bicker so?

Test my patience Is a virtue If you think These words can't hurt you Or subvert your bricks and thrones To shallow caves of sticks and stones And early graves of mogul masses Unenlightened social classes Cashing in the broadcaste system Fearful fascist feudalism Cataclysm communist Red dead to rites of populist We can't resist the terrorize In refugees we demonize So televise the violent crimes And lionize the Frankensteins Cuz' we all scream for Isis stream To guillotine the fields of green   The Vaccines are the influenza FDA is salmonella Poisoning the stomach bile In the processed garbage aisle As the vile needle kills The blood which pours as rivers spills Polluted by the politics The very air we breathe is sick Like respirating pits of tar A pack of Marbs is all we are On par with country clubs of pigs Who sell us lies and oil rigs And stuff the stockings up with coal And change the climate of my soul To winter's blight of coldest steel Still rusting in this rage I feel Then melting in the wildfire Of the funeral empire Rolling thunder power dice Of life and gambling on its price As they repeal and then erase All knowledge of this human race

What a Time to be Alive
But what's the point? Phospholipids, sucrose, phosphates Biology feels like memorizing vocabulary. Absquatulate, etymological, effluvium English wants me to be a human glossary. Axiom, cartesian, diophantine Math is repeating the same problems in different ways. Feudalism, hegemony, cartellino History is staring at facts about dead people. Humdrum, repetitiousness, homogeneity Every second of monotony bores me. Was it always like this?
