Sharks are going extinct
It's much, much worse than you think
So have a drink
Pretend to think
Because I won't be sleeping a wink!
Gullible
The gullibility of humans is our downfall.
The propaganda of the ruling class
Believe the lies they tell you with no questions
And then it will be you out on the grass.
They want to own the houses now as well
When working people cannot buy a home.
They feed us what they do not feed the hogs
In any other country but our own.
To avoid paying taxes on their wealth,
A trick they play upon the hapless masses
They pay the politicians to exclude them
Thus broke people are paying all the taxes
All so they can hoard more than they need
But Karma is a bitch, and she is real.
These nihilists believe in nothing.
But you and I both understand the deal.
Deforestation/Reforestation
Deforestation
Is the cohabitation
That's corrupting fair nations
And ruining relations.
Think of the trees!
I exclaim with a breeze
As I'm fixing to freeze
In this tree with no leaves.
Lock me up! Lock me up!
Send me to bed!
You can't conduct murder
These trees are sacred!
China's not perfect,
Nobody is, but,
Those fuckers are planting
More trees than they cut!
Ignorance is Bliss
I think back
To when I was happiest
And it may have been cuddled
With you there.
The two of us
Knowing that a future
Wasn't in the cards for us
Determined
Not to let that get in the way.
Living solely in the moment.
The two of us
Cuddled there.
Perfection
To me, you were perfection.
In every single way.
A visage of such beauty
I lost the words to say
I saw you 'cross the counter
Finishing your shift
Every time, my heart, it jumped
Your guise gave it a lift
But nothing's ever promised
And Fate would split us both
At least you knew I loved you.
Some would say that's growth.
Sonnet One
If love is all you’ve got I have enough
Please bring me something challenging to me
As difficult a problem as you’ve got
And I will solve it expeditiously.
The only time I’ve loved was in my youth
The only time I’ve lost to that degree.
I wish that, then, I realized the truth.
Relationships are idiosyncrasy.
I married someone I did not respect
But hidden were these truths to my young brain.
I didn’t treat her well and the effect
Was that I lost what I could not obtain.
They say that wisdom’s wasted on the Old.
At least that is the story we’ve been told.
Painful
I thought that I might write a poem today
On sentimental thoughts within my brain.
I never quite know what they’re going to say.
But I’m always assured there will be pain.
When thoughts are overflowing like a pot
That someone (you) has left unattended.
Then I examine all that I have got.
And try to mend the fences that need mending.
For all of Earth is my Shakespear’n stage
And my Ophelia’s the game of life.
When you cross her, she responds with rage
And carves humanity up without a knife.
And if my lover turns to target you,
Some people aren’t meant for this world, it's true.
Global Trek - Maiden Muse
Upon a night unlit by moon or star,
I gazed upon the visage of a lass.
And though the night was cold and she was far,
I still could see her image through the glass.
I set aside the mirror and I thought
Of everything surrounding her, I’d seen.
Then, taking it all in my brain, I sought
To use the information that I’d gleaned.
And so I set to trek across the globe.
I knew just where to look from all the clues.
And when I saw her my poor heart exploded
Finally, I’d met my Maiden Muse.
I crossed such ancient lands by land and sea
I crossed three oceans, longing to find thee.
Thirteen
I had an aching concept for a poem.
It wormed its way into my brain today.
I felt compelled to give a proper home
To all these lovely words that came to play.
And as it played it spread to half a page.
Contrived, it told an old familiar tale.
About an evil wizard and a sage.
Who lived in a fair Kingdom in the Vale.
But much like many old, familiar plots
It seemed to be a little bit clichéd.
And even though impressive in its spots
It’s best that I just leave it where it lay.
For there will always be another worm.
An exercise in madness, I confirm.
Moon Attendant
I dreamed a lonely world that’s not
Forsaken nor is stirred although it
Does get kinda lonely in my head.
The only issue, guv —
Well, it’s about the girl I love.
I haven’t seen'a hair of her in bed.
She must have gone away
I really hate she couldn’t stay, but there’s a
Whole entire village to sustain.
There’s lots of it to come you’re gonna
Feel a little dumb
But every little error feeds my growing brain.
With all of us dependent
On an astronaut attendant
To bring us food and water from the moon.
The reason I’m insistent
Is the last girlfriend was distant and I’d not
Like to see her face again real soon.
Eighteen
When I was only 18 I had
Seen a lot of things
Living under Father’s thumb —
To little hope, I’d cling.
I tried to stay away from home
As often as I could
A little time to see the world
Would do enormous good.
I saw it was much bigger than
My father would confess
And lots to keep one entertained —
Goodness, we were blessed.
We saw all of the buildings and
We loved to walk downtown.
Things did not go South until
The time I settled down.
Way too young to think so big;
Alas, I made mistakes.
And through all fault of my unknown,
My heart would have to break.
Some would look at my life now
And think I never mended
But lack of my material needs
Has been my true unending.
