"pandering" poems
*Religious discrimination sells, it's all the rage! If a Muslim wants office, we automatically get Suspicious, some pandering to the public's fear, Deny our own constitutional laws and values, And never elect a Muslim whether far or near.*

"Freedumbs"
WOMEN I cast you out for pandering your *** WOMEN You are shameful On you I gift this hex: *If you need to be the object of manly gratification If you have no interest in the freedom or the liberation Then your life will now be governed by the exploitation A vessel pure and simple for man’s *********** WOMEN You are worthless **** upon my shoe Read between the lines my friend Figure out the clue For it is in here somewhere Deep within this write Nothing's ever as it seems Nothing's black and white WOMEN Does a bloke walk round? With his ***** hanging out? Does he emphasize his testicles? Does he bandy it about? I think you know the answer Just stop and use that brain Then maybe in the future Equality will rightly be reclaimed But all the time you flaunt your **** ****** you ***** in their face You, my friend To the sisterhood **Are a ******* skanky **** disgrace** Wake up and smell the Costa For conditioning is wrong You need to understand You cause The Cause to be prolonged This is my stand I hold my own I’m never fazed By stick nor stone For I know deep within my heart The value of my worth I will never sell my principles For merriment or mirth **So … please …. just take a moment To digest The words within this write Unharness faux benevolent blinkers Because this is our absolute pre-emptive right**

WOMEN
The mannequin faceless, Clothed in gold With hands pandering svelte, Remains an admired inanimate, Albeit, atop whispers to a girl, A 4-foot flower 3-feet my right, Fretting and stumped; Extrinsic a label – “undesirable.” The mannequin faceless, Her and hollow – A towering nose above, stands Opaque ivory, scarred come Synonymous eyes with a symmetrical Soul, assumed plastic perfection And more importantly, Soon to be sale. The mannequin faceless Convinced her new friend, Her lesser, lopsided, And natural not-so counterpart To consume, “Eat me, “eat me,” “eat it all,” And then, “binge some more.” The mannequin faceless SCREAMS, “BUY!” Amongst the other torments – Born both fingers that can’t move and The thumbs that shuffle, “One’s,” To the girl that was never, “Good enough;” so shared the Tabloid’s mouth. The mannequin faceless demands And DEMANDS nothing less than to Buy, starve, suffer and sacrifice So that every “broken body,” May embody polymer, and for a price, A not so fair trade whilst Considering old man gold, The curator of conundrum And the plastic he’s created.

# shackled to a notion rubbing through wrists in rusted remains of beautifully easy it's a slow bleed through insults slung in fear the unmaliciois only noticed in hindsight calling the innocent a ***** doesn't breed hate from love the duke-yeilding cowardly lion flings back like a monkey ## breaststroking a marathon in tears wading through pain I never caused pelted with double-barrelled denial THIS IS NOT WEAKNESS there is no waver on my solid ground torn flesh and compound fractures cannot break harder than history still, gavel strikes in sucker punched cracked ribs that look like a past that ain't mine ### keep hacking off pieces maybe I'll fit into those pretty boxes your liars left as gifts nasty reminders that trust has sharp teeth maybe that's just you biting back any hand that gets too close pandering in placating platitudes ain't my bag flattery fails to flounce from unfettered friends #### can't be beat into submission with unspoken broken rules can't run from a truth in plain view this is what it looks like to believe what you know over what you've lived I'm not running I'm not biting back I'm not going anywhere then again, why would I I'm not the one afraid to love you https://soundcloud.com/user-166761247/a-fourth-in-time-to-cracked-selections-of-music

Humble
I am staring at the red hand demanding stop in a mostly silent rushing manner with any urgent notice for the blind lost in the crushing banter. And there is white hot anger in me at the flamboyant capsules borne along to be seen it is Soylent in essence proudly proclaiming to be green I am flaring at the steady hand pandering hot in a most heady hushing stammer. Myths nay jerkingly, quoting for us the signed history and sing lush slander. And there is white hot anger in me at the clairvoyant ape who is now born chain-smoking and mean; it is annoyance in adolescence rowdily claiming to be clean.

Leaning Against a Lamppost.
Silver tongues, diamond cut, Artfully place pandering And articulate acupuncture Dragging your cheeks up with hooks Until you are caught by strings A marionette madly dancing To another's fine sour tune

The power of words (or; a politicians' game)
You're so dangerous with your profane paraphernalia Your pelvis postures pandering favor The line of your stomach embossed by the fire is like a pasture for me So paranoid with your pacifistic lust As you proceed to please me with your posture so slightly And I attempt to pursue oh so politely You make me perk up like a peacock just with one peak You're aware of every petty palpitation you can feel just under my sleeve You play me like a piano, so plush with your lust politics Pandering for a pardon of my ***** talk poignancy I part you like Pluto from your orbits serene hum I'll pleasure you, pleasure you until you're purple like a plum A pastimes poetises to be written with pleasing lead You plan every move like a predator in my bed You're polarizing, plump, and pampered like a pageant doll Pilfering every plausible pause with a pose of voice, your moan Seizing the post with your post - modern pompous pouncing Prompted like Pisces to postulate your prognosis Lifting your posterior like the pun of a phaliccy Pillaging me like a pandemic, a plague Something to be paraded by paganistic plauds Your pale skin is like playwear for sins You're pinning me plastered with the play of your grin Such a pretty motion picture to paint in the prison of your promise

P****
My tummy rumbles rolling into bed with you, before a big test and when I think about my future. It twists at the thought of lazy summer days and time away from school and stress and sadness. With new years come new resolutions and new people in and out of my life. It comes with people pandering for weight loss, new jobs and fatter wallets. I sit and stare at the girl with a sizable waist line, bigger heart and even bigger brain. I stare at a girl who works hard for what she has and harder for the ones she cares about.

Stomach Ache
He exchanged his routines for the long dusty road, he exchanged his jeans for a long white jacket he called it the "white robe." His hat said "Home" He took off on the road only travelers go. He had a pretty girl he was was going to see, then he knew he would have to leave. He stopped saying much, mainly "thank you" and "please". He had exchanged his mind set for a new set, his confusion for clarity his narrative for poetry, many said it had led him astray. He exchanged his fullness for emptiness and began to take it all in, the old dusty road became the only way he knew at all. He would stand in perfect silence and hear it all. He would stand in perfect stillness and travel it all. He exchanged his awake routines for dreams. He traveled here and there, where ever that dusty old road would take him, some places made sense, some were flashes of total innocence. He had exchanged his expectations for creations. He could love you on the road, be with you but with you he would never go home. Rumor has it it was his fatal flaw. He had exchanged success and failure for experience, he avoided many a cliff many a fall in having it all. You won't find him hitchhiking panhandling soliciting or pandering selling drugs or in bed with your mother. You'll find him in the whispers you hear in the rainbow aura around street lamps on night time deserted streets, the meteor at midnight the green flash at sunset. He had exchanged staying for going and he was on his way with dust devils blowing behind him.

Karma is accused of being a cruel ***** But she just collects the debt that is owed The lies you told to cover the tracks The respect for you is gone Pandering friends blind by loyalty You are irrelevant, why even bother? Took half a year to spread manure If you're better off why even care? It is sad, you hold onto this past You know you don't have a future The bridge we built, you set it on fire With all of your slander Look closer to home Your friends will stab you in the back That is all they ever did Deep down you know it's true

Deep down you know it's true
They say beggars can't be choosers And truer beggars there never were Blessed with able minds Bodies Souls? Lively and lithe, blessed by chance Complaints for your coil; an affront to existence! Breathe easy, it's what we have Stardust and daydreams, pandering -- benefactors of infinite fortune The stars have graced you (once!) with immutable form So find grace.

Surveillant society
Isn't it strange living in another person's head? It's like Being John Malkovich, or Anne Sexton as I rode along with her wild rides into sand at the beach, lost in Boston again, inside a mind that was different but still mine because I saw that very street lamp she did, and in her advice to me, that yet unborn memory that would never be, I heard her words in soft puffs of nicotine-scented tickles in my ear, warm air before young lungs had ever breathed in, and I cried because she was speaking to me, though she never knew it when the words clattered from that old Remington like a machine gun- I was just an idea she never really had, a wish in soft feathery hair on the chest of man she shared lust with as he slept, not knowing he would father a specter delivered from a womb that had closed for business. Our walks along an asylum lawn, returning waves to suspicious grass, green oceans to get lost in after sewing leather wallets from our own hardened skins as if projects could ever fix the worlds of sin we lived in, pandering doctors offering officious pretense of cure against the sweet furies of sunrises, sunsets, earth worms and ***** So, can I cry having crossed a divide into another, for moments residing in the soul and belly of a mother who was never mine, though I feel her pain as if we own it together?

Being Anne Sexton
Porcelain teeth flashing with that unnatural hue. Pandering your **** in an alleyway for two squatters and a proper *** to see. Knees bent, hips gyrate. Throwing **** like caution to the wind. Moldy pull-tabs torn limb by limb. Manual fixation (or so I've been told). Peel a label. Phone a friend. Flip the switch on this ******* shitshow. Ripe with intentions spilling on the carpet. Red like the drink, the drink that got me here. Slow ascension followed by the free fall ... as is life. Appreciate the absurdity of a swan dive straight into the asphalt.

Arca and the Shirtless Circus
i would love to be able to identify a bird from its call or the shape of wide-spread wings as one flies overhead in theory it may seem impressive but if i were to successfully distinguish a chiffchaff from a willow warbler based on the patterning and colour of its plumage or the shape and length of its tail feathers i struggle to think of a single person who would respond with more than an indifferent mocking or pandering "oh"

in theory
From the concrete purgatory of my burdened decades I hear them, From the capital run over, drowned in the tide of righteous pandering fervor I hear them, From the streets taken to by shock treatment portraits of deaths un-died, I hear them: The mournful howl of the 108,000 in waiting, Terrified for the fate of their soon to be brothers, sisters, competition for the future, For the divine rewards the privileged will promise themselves for their narrow compassions, For the killers slapped on the wrist while the innocent remain condemned to a life that no one asked for, without the consent of anyone involved, Yes, the street preacher cries, Yes to life, Yes to opportunity, Yes to the future promised to all of us by this great nation, (Well, all of us, not all of you) But when the destitute mothers of a generation abandoned reach out cupped hands for help, He's left his wallet in his other ideology, Divine privilege only applies to you before you're born, After that you're on your own All lives matter, until they're alive

For Governor John Kasich (Ohio Uber Alles)
In the spirit of progress Let us not forget   Love is label free ~ in my preferred world Love needs no man made moderating, judgement, or sanctioning. No, in that expansive world Love exists purely.. defying institutions or packaging Or Supreme Court pandering <open letter to society> The kind of love I aspire to and have discovered transcends your stamp of approval. Love Is.

My Outlaw Love
An empire built on enslavement conquering and plunder striving to maintain order via censorship in a  modern milieu the irony isn't lost on me watched the news today a self declared expert cited a rather lengthy inventory of  mass murders a veritable host of troubled people he seemed well informed but half dead inside as if something was  internally devouring him an expert in stolid stage craft   oblivious to his self inflicted harm until he watched the playbacks that evening pretending, posturing, play-acting, contrived concerns now  collapsed in a fit on the floor groveling pitiful fragment vomiting  bourbon tears out of sight, above detection by them the watchers tomorrow, a different city another "shooting spree" another interview another barren bereft onslaught of absurd rhetorical questions hand ringing, and staged pandering consolations another pallid parroting reporter who thanks you for "tuning in." "next up, Sports!"

The Dark Ages (The Atheist) “Do you solemnly swear to tell... So help you God?” Well, (“No”)of course not, Twit, for there is No god. Then how do you know the truth? The lie? The thief?
