"viral" poems
1. Had you a viral video, you’d watch it more than once. 2. Instagram hearts make you smile, even from strangers. 3. Which would you rather: *** or Zuckerberg friending you on Facebook. No, this isn’t a Cosmo quiz — it’s a social experiment. Because no one ACTUALLY answers these questions honestly without looking like that ****** at the pool trying to get as MANY high fives as possible. Yet, we all do it. Alone or in public. Day or night. LED screen spice up our lives. It was probably best embodied by that girl taking selfie after   selfie after selfie after selfie, filmed for minutes on the way to school, the video soon posted, by her dad trying to teach  her a lesson? Or trying to get attention? Either way, he might as well have hashtagged it #socialsuicide. Like most humor we laughed at her because we are her. We see a dripping characterture ************ to itself in public. Wait, it, sounds wrong when you name it. But there is a name for it: Digital ************ aka Self-adoration aka Narcississism. You won’t agree that you do it too. But I’ll bet most of you get excited thinking about notifications too. Why is that? You’d never admit it. You can say I smelt it, so I dealt it. Call me a preacher, a hater, or a hypocrit. But I'd rather you call me a digital masterbater too. And then remember the last time you opened Instagram or Facebook or Twitter and took a selfie or hashtagged something or posted a status that your still breathing. How long has it been — a minute, an hour, a day? Now try making fun of her.

What's it take These days To write a poem That makes the world go mad That brings the crowds to their feet That spreads like wildfire Through a dry winter forest Is it those excessively long words? The ostentatiously loquacious Platitudinous ramblings Of an insecure mind aspiring To authentic intellect? Is it perhaps...      the "creativity"                of      varied      spacing   or...    could it be..... the lack                               of capitalization                the loathsome little letters                screaming out                          hey, look at us!          ... or maybe it's                the punctuation marks,      littered, haphazardly           through the text                     (whether used correctly)                or, theyre not?!      despite worrds mispeled           and a grammar might is broken    can these gimmicks increase interest         though miswritten or misspoken? Is the trick alliteration Whose bite brightly bids us To center on the snappy sounds? Although all along      unvoiced underneath Ideas idle in the isles    (or perhaps the aisles) Of the mind To meld and craft and bind Our thorough thoughts And worthy words Into lines Which Heard by herds Raise the                   Praise for which we                   Privately, desperately                   Pray Maybe it's a magical mix Of splendid in-your-head rhythm Marvelous meter that perfectly clicks Flowing smoothly without schism Well-spaced stanzas Well-used time Well-crafted phrases Well-thought-out rhymes Well, maybe not...      those gems are often ignored      cast-aside, unread, even abhorred Why? Because the modern world doesn't need your rules your restrictions your regulations your misguided boundaries your oppression your antiquated ideas    of "the right way"    to write    to speak    to act    to live    to (fill in the blank) No, what the modern world needs is Negation! Contradiction! Resistance! Revolt! And poetry whose words Say the same thing Repeat the same meaning Echo the same lyrics Rephrase the same thoughts But in an ever-so-slightly Different Varied Altered Adjusted Changed up way Line After line Of synonyms           over                and                     over                          and                          over                          again ----- What's it take These days To not give in To narcissism's spiral?

The engineers they tweak the DNA, fostering changes to the RNA, the plants becoming something else, immunevolution modify man’s health. And never will they accept the blame, for their arrogance and dangerous game; and when the food cannot be eaten? History recall of the viral cretins.

Urban spread and over stocking **** deforestation’s shocking, Depletion of aquatic life Intrinsically creating strife, Industrial pollution’s goo Ozone depletion... ALL FOR YOU! *Environmental degradation Means the world’s a weaker place, Susceptible to malady Wide spread across the human race. Those animals in corn fed stalls Who never get to see the sun Or graze green grass where honey bees Are vanquished by varroha’s fun.

They say marriage is all about compromise. If that's the case, newlyweds Kia Parsons and Billy Bunning are off to an excellent start. The UK couple had different visions when it came to their wedding cake; the bride wanted an all-white tiered cake with cascading sugar flowers. The groom, on the other hand, wanted to incorporate his love of comic book superheroes into the confection. So they met somewhere in the middle: Julia Baker of Tier by Tier cake design created the cake for the couple's August 14 wedding in Milton Keynes, England. One side is the traditional-looking cake the bride wanted. On the other side, icing curtains reveal the logos of Marvel characters Captain America, Spider-Man and Iron Man, as well as Batman from the DC Comics camp. "I loved every minute making this cake, as I knew it would be something that people would be surprised at and appeal to all the Marvel fans!" Julia told The Huffington Post. In all, she spent 40 hours on the cake. It took 12 hours to make the sugar flowers, and the cake-baking and building took about 28 hours. Needless to say, Kia and Billy were thrilled with the finished product. "Julia did such a fantastic job and we were completely overwhelmed by how brilliant it looked!" the bride told HuffPost. "From most angles of the room, the cake looked like a traditional wedding cake -- just what we had wanted. It wasn't until the cake was moved for us to cut that our guests realized there was a hidden extra. Some didn't even realize until the photos went online after the wedding!" On Tuesday, a photo of the cake began going viral when it was shared by the Life Of Dad Facebook page. "I was surprised at how popular it was and how quickly the pictures circulated on social media," Julia said. "I have plenty more ideas to work on and I am calling these 'double-take cakes.'" read more:www.marieaustralia.com/formal-dresses-perth www.marieaustralia.com/white-formal-dresses

You must never **** the spiders, While, they are woven their poems into the likeness of thunder? Kidnapped the poets, instead of the poems Therefore, I asked of you to stop all useless riots On poetry, read them, embrace them, and Learn from them: poetry is disciplined And disciplined is the most misunderstanding word In the dictionary: but somehow it is said that riots is the language of the unheard: we must never embrace racial riots, or racial profiling: reach out to racial equity stop allowing the messages of hate to go viral plants row of trees, in the name of love, I recently came across, ants yes, I said ants When army ants need to cross a large gap, they simply build a bridge - with their own bodies. Linking together, the ants can move their living bridge from its original point, allowing them to cross gaps and create shortcuts across rainforests in Central and South America. I recently saw human fighting each other, I recently read somewhere Where children were locked away in cages , McALLEN, Texas (AP) — inside an old warehouse in South Texas, hundreds of immigrant children wait in a series of cages created by metal fencing. One cage had 20 children inside. Scattered about are bottles of water, bags of chips and large foil sheets intended to serve as blankets. We must never **** the spiders, While, there are woven their poems into the likeness of thunder..

You Must Never Killed The Spiders
for Alyssa Underwood ~~~ my poems do not trend, go viral, Fast and Furious! yet, they do not die they lay in plain sight pebbles scattered, smoothed by time, upon the surface of the green earth waiting patient, virtuous, purposed for itinerants bards to trip over one one some someday somehow they accrete a readership, slow stepping and steady from, |the seekers and the stumblers, the droplet drinkers, meanderers of the tomes and tombs of prior years, miners for nuggets in the poem pools that form beneath the alluvial streaming of the waterfall crescendo of words I like this when another traveler sends me a like, a petite amuse-bouche bite of appreciation, for a long ago, barely recalled, writ, allowing them to carve their initials upon the external, visible roots of my tree trunk, invading me, by darkening a prior tree internal ring, forcing me to look down, look back, take measure of myself, accepting myself as not wanting, nor lacking in other's acceptance these statements are neither boastful or illusory, *yet still joyous, like caramel pleasures, slow to chew, fast to the taste,* reminding me of old friendships, well valued, though no longer fully employed, their uncovering is my own refreshed exposure, their discovery is my own re-discovery, exposing flaws and fallacies, even fallow, mostly shallow facts about me all of them, a sundae of truths and lies, sharing a happy laugh with and at me, when I think to myself, Holy Crap! did I write that? copyright 2015 by Nat Lipstadt

Worm eats through to penetrate. Trespasses, what ***** deeds? What ichor is this to venerate? How dare eat, how dare have needs? Godly viral load unbeatable, no t-cell left to count. Wriggling in puddle inconceivable, **** upon this crucified mount. Lazarus, risen from the dead, no dog now licks your wounds. Lepers now banshees are instead social workers which we swoon. And the Roman laws and judges continue blame, hand down sentence, as degenerative generation smudges out from existence, *** penance. Dissected and pinned against wall, this writhing experiment oozes. Whilst priests and politicians naw, compassion and AIDS funding loses.

Crucify The Worm
--- Sitting in his chair, Laughing at your pain, Abuse driven glory, His only aim, --- Withdrawn from society, Curtains drawn close, Prozac painkillers, Attention less ghost, --- Viral anger, Lack of remorse, Deflecting the pain, Of his parent's divorce, --- A knock at his door, The troll opens it wide, A recognised face, Looks him straight in the eyes, --- Fear grips his body, As she pins him to the floor, Their screams turned to silence, A troll he was no more.... --- The urban legend, Of the internet troll. Punished by the evil... That devoured his soul.

Okay maybe my videos won't go viral But the aim is to make at least one person smile Honestly, I shouldn't worry About being ignored Or being 'totally!' unpopular.. It's gonna make a great story someday. .. The day I become a somebody.                     SO, before you trade your            glasses in for a pair of contacts, Before you chop your mop, and throw on the make up, before you chug down that ***** Which makes you talk crazy when you snooze, Ask yourself; 'What do I have to lose?' .... The rep you don't have, Or the pride that you do. Popularity is down to you.

'Unpopular'
viral and trending as fifteen minutes has become a lifetime and 45 seconds is more what it looks like to be internet famous – fat cats and mall rats in Spanx sippling frozen latte’s with 8 shots of circle K crack violently Instagram-ing every moment constantly trolling for the one big hit – social media ***** bored with “likes” looking to blog the best tweets and Facebook with the losers of last year’s season of Celebrity Chef –

social media is silly
Call the Doctor, Text a Nurse. I think I'm getting sick. I've been avoided like the plague. Cause I spread like disease. I think. I think that I'm going viral.

Texting Nurses.
A Strong sense of unease fills my mind and soul my body trembles is it fear or the cold night looking around at seemingly quiet streets what waits in this darkness that engulfs me once feeling safe and secure now I want to flee evil exists all about in the form of human beings cruel calculating driven by what often a mystery few cause so much misery and horror in society overpowering subtle in their persuasive false way most want to live peacefully keeping evil at bay do  you not feel it to that unseen lingering unease always there ready to attack like a viral disease!

Discovery (20W)
All I want is a rewind to those times When we talked for a long while Seated under street lights We were always together at nights Staring at the moonlight Our minds were filled with doubts About what our future seems like Then it went viral That we were together You asked how I still don't know why And it all sums up to now Thinking of how we drifted apart It was just too fast But that was all in the past All I wish for now is a rewind So I can win back your heart I really need a rewind ......

Rewind
I took a stroll down my childhood lane These neural pathways took me back Multilingual versions of the narrative Warned me of imminent attack I made it work for me my people Bedeviled on behalf of all my greater good I took my time in stride with sidewalks cracked And broke my swag along a scattered beach Came down with that viral capacity to fluctuate According to what gut feeling feeds heart pumping Where we intersect that jazz bebopper inhabiting art Draw outside the lines come together in stark contrast To the words we negotiate with each other in exchange For favors better left unpaid yet enacted cross-purpose To our intended lizard goal to wrap our prey entangled Tongued in the mail entreated globally galactic guardian I’d simply settle inside ambitious repose armed by you Draped across our gossamer webs wet commingled faces

Triple G Intersection
(I hate poets. They annoy me deeply.) I. There are the balladeers, Working in service of their inner Service, (Though, despite the seeming impossibility, Their hackneyed verse is even worse) Creating tortuous rhyme Which slows down labyrinthine narratives Ending up in some deus ex machine So implausible that it would make Euripides blush (Most often courtesy of some unforeseen projectile Or sudden viral contagion; Would that their creators meet such a fate!) II. I come not to praise the so-called sonneteers, But to bury them. They are an earnest lot, (Lord knows that they are earnest) And they will make their fourteen lines rhyme (Though sometimes the rhyme scheme screams for mercy) And hang the cost. Though their narratives are head-scratching things, And their iambs proceed with the steadiness Of a nonagenarian church pianist Doing her damndest to fight the wedding march to a draw, They are content, nay, proud of their work Because babble rhymes with Scrabble (Though they are not particularly proficient with the latter, They have the former down to an art.) III. Let us not forget the Buk-zombies, Those apostles of aphorism, Most of whom speak of their departed deity As if he were an old drinking buddy (Never mind that most of them were two or three Or perhaps not even a bad idea In the back seat of some mom’s Buick When he exited this mortal plane, stage left, even.) One’s mind is boggled whilst considering The expanse of the bar required to accommodate Everyone who would like to (Or worse, have claimed to) Buy old Charlie a beer, not that he’d stand for a round. They are a sullen horde, this lot, Best dealt with by aiming for the base of the skull. IV. Ah, the confessionals, Lord have mercy upon their souls (For they shall have none upon ours.) They feel so many things so deeply As such things have never been felt before (They have not read their Sexton, their Snodgrass, Their Lowell, their Pl--well, no, They have all read their Plath.) It is, from the moment they arise in the morning Until such time they set aside their fears and let sleep take them, All too much for them, And they bravely face the days Until such time they care bear to take action And fling themselves from some convenient precipice. We should, as a service to them and ourselves, Ensure the soles of their shoes Are sufficiently worn and slippery. (I hate poets. They annoy me deeply.)

I want to swallow your organism, taste your bacteria, swim in your virus, catch your disease & become viral. I am consumed by your fever. Stimulate me with sexy-symptoms, split me in you petri dish, mutilate me, break my cells into smaller molecules, help me to succumb. Take me over the top, bring me to ferocious-orgasm, one without a cure, leave me forever wishing for no antidote.

Without A Cure (Organism ******
It is necessary to know how to tame her, Shy, careful, secret and reserved, Not very comfortable in a crowd. She possesses this discreet charm, You cannot forget as a viral load. Natural, simple, reliable in her feelings, She needs proofs to be reassured. Her attitude is sensible and direct, An inner life is rich of her life's striking, Where her intellectual sphere takes it, By the elegance of her sparkling creativity, Under the power of her own meditations. She is so rational, ironic and critical, By her genuine metaphysical reflections. She is constantly building on her intuition, In the area of integrating life's solutions. She thinks of being late, but just accurate, Worried in pleasing and in being loved, But just forgets she is part of human being. You can trust her blindly, Because in spite of her side to part, So different and so warm, That can perturb you, And walk away from both of you. She remains your half for all eternity, Even if today this Love has dried up, Keep her sharing gift to love yourself, To be yourself, and nothing else !

When Ebola’s fever begins to rage, The prognosis isn’t nice, Monoclonal antibodies are needed from three mice. The mice must first become exposed to a weakened viral strain. Their antibodies harvested and combined with those of man. Strangely the proteins that we need are grown best in a **** A modified tobacco plant will do the job indeed. The serum, that derives from plants, had not had human trials. (but eight of ten young chimpanzees endorse what’s in that vial.) Our missionaries, sick unto death were clearly in no position to refuse to try the medicine that might provide remission. Their rebound was miraculous. To Atlanta now they fly. Man finds himself in debt to a mouse. “Good job, little guy!”
