Remembering The Victims of 9/11 and The Way To Heaven
Citizens of The New Age
Emanating egalitarian ideas
Through the shade
Radical?
Rebel?
Renegade?
A Communist threat of tariffs via a Celebrity King on the World Stage?
Not a Consumer!
Yet a Citizen of The New Age?
Palpitations pulsating
Into the Progressive poetic
Economic
Social
And political fusillade
The Disharmony of Chief Petty Officer Trump
This is the work of
Not a Commander-In-Chief
But a Chief Petty Officer!
Who suckers self described Patriots (Never served nary a minute in any of the Armed Forces)
Out of their morals, ethics, and cheap seats
Adorned in disunity!
Superiority!
The worship of money!
Who sleep comfortably numb
Under unclean
Believed religiously as pristine
White colored “ignoramus”sheets
The Vigilante Past Police Misconduct Caste on Blackface Injustice
The Police Union leadership approach
For black and brown people
Lacks any empathy
Disregards centuries of history
Centers on approval of unjust policy
(Vigilante Justice aka Police Misconduct)
Refuses to express any regret
For violence against
Black and brown humanity
Relies on persistent court
And official rulings
That uphold the indignity
Reinforces a racist police polity
Without apology
What’s wrong with keeping apace
Official Police misconduct as Blackface?
Will there be an outcry?
If rich white people’s children
Are being killed by
Vigilante police misconduct
For petty crimes in polite society?
The Pigskin Season
September brings the fall
The beginning of it all
The air outside is cool
The children back in school
It’s the time for a 1st down
Go offsides and your the clown
Down and out might bring us joy
Statue of Liberty is the ploy
Holding ain’t allowed
Riotous cheering from the crowd
A safety ain’t really secure
Don’t forget about the draw
A hole is good for your screen
Taunting may be seen as too obscene
The Shotgun pledges a down field pass
Hail Mary’s are looked on with aghast!
Field goals are not in the primary plan
Touchdowns are extraordinarily grand!
Sacks are filled with pain and dirt!
Punters and place kickers need to remain alert!
Tight end screens are set up through a ruse
Fumbles means the football is loose!
Interceptions do not bring the affected team together
Games are played in all kinds of weather
Tackles make their opponents bait!
Do not forget to partake in the fan’s tailgate!
So let’s all hope we get on a roll
And our team takes home
The trophy at the Super Bowl!
Things Would Never Be The Same
A boy was born with another
His Brother
Together they were raised
In the zygote smothered
With Mother
Nature was to blame
For igniting this identical flame
The twins played together all day
Walked the streets in the same clothes unfazed
Everyone knew their names!
Life together was fanciful and gay!
Until one day
The eldest as a teen
Was slain with a mental illness
The days spent at the sanitarium
Portended a correlation stillness
Who could exact such debilitating cruelness!
Nature was to blame
Either way each day
Would rain
With the pain of knowing
Things would never be the same
Lost in the schizophrenic wilderness
Will you turn back the dial?
Or leave the reprieve exiled!
Your Highness
The Blue Wall of Silence Wages and The Cacophony of Hatred
The first step to disposing of a problem is admittance
The Blue Wall of Silence affirms tacit support
For black and brown lives being a pittance
Otherwise why not call out the Copper Ripper bad apples?
Remove them immediately for being a social menace!
(Along with any other appropo punishment)
Then you can show penance
There is no doubt that police officers are courageous!
Working with the community
Through accountability and transparency
Would certainly be for the NYPD advantageous
As well as not putting all of Society’s ills
At the boot of their nightsticks
Handcuffs and prison cages
Utilizing a hammer only in polite society
Stirs up a cacophony of hatred
On both sides
Which in turn only encourages
Rages!
An Ode To My Love Eva
Thanks My Love Eva!
For the most sanguine underpinning
Of my affectations
In lieu of all outward protestations
Of my most beloved poetic slog!
Thou dost help me findeth words
Simple fine words
Into the fog
Sweet Mother
May the memories
Of sweet Mother
Fill your most sorrowful soliloquy
With immense joy
May her tender touch
Remain secure always
Within your train of thoughts
May her fierce constitution
Shield you strongly
In the coming battles to be fought
May her boisterous elan
Lift you up grand!
As when you were but a mere child
With new toys!
May you aver
To commence to eternal
The wisdom flowing palpably
From her inner voice
Sweet Mother!
May I rendezvous with you
Once more
Onto the shores which retain your ardour
Forever and ever more!
Amor!
Prepare my entrance!
My beloved!
Into the venerated void
Trump Rally 101
What does any of Trumpism
Have to do with Governing?
The inflammatory mockery of opponents
Floating conspiracy theory
And naked “Othering”!
The participants are similarly narcissists
Who enjoy partaking in
The juvenile World Wide Wrestling Entertainment
Fascist gathering
Where they can weave the Straw Man’s Red Cap
Amidst inculcated dreams of American greatness
Mixed with loyalty to The Boss
Complete with a shameless Nazi-like Partisan Panderers Frenzied lathering
