In verses callow
heart beats warm, cold
Mind mush marshmallow
body creaks old
Now mostly just found headlines sifting
gone the days of own heavy lifting
Today’s speech rarely corollary, mostly arbitrary
Of today’s speech be wary
seldom corollary
ill boding, often airy
hurriedly Hail Mary
Flimsy, fleeting such ‘bliss’
when facts, what’s fair we ignore
in collusion we kiss
Cease & desist, I implore!
Or I’ll wake with hangover hammering
from such ceaseless self-absorbed yammering
Her stirring up the dust leaves us nonplussed
There was this woman outright pernickety
while mired as well in habits persnickety
She’s excelled stirring up the dust
leaving us all feeling nonplussed
Stemming from our own low standards rickety?
From being opinionated begging to be exonerated
A person has turned my doppelganger
thus an opinionated ‘haranguer’
stuck in hapless controversy
he prays ardently for mercy
as his every day has turned cliffhanger
Us humans try to enforce, but Life runs its very own course
How we all keep persevering
quite determined in careering
and while times keep changing
need not be deranging
something else shall be appearing!
After years of yearning then finally turning: 18!
Time for Sam to majorly exult:
“Today is the day I turn adult!”
Eighteen a special number
that shall us disencumber
when from childhood shot by catapult
His life’s snug moorage while for her mere free storage? Yes, she’s statuesque but as well ‘clutteresque’
Looked at his place as his Life’s moorage
while she’d been searching for free storage
When she brought her stuff in all
just room for him in the hall
where awkward to cook breakfast porridge
On looks of covers of books
Behold that fresh youthful look:
Youth’s upbeat breathless grin
crisp cover of unread book
sculptured, jutting out chin
Behold the wizened old look:
aging’s out-of-breath grin
thumbed cover of well read book
sagging skin, drooping chin
At which point cannot count on audacity
but hope for tenacity, veracity
Debased but seemingly not shamefaced?
No help for victims civilian
by ‘defense’ budgets of a trillion
while The E.U.: crocodilian
NATO: East crawling reptilian
Ever darker clouds race
beyond Humanity’s whims:
letting our lives debase
hope for planet’s future dims
… as we indulge free reins
for hate filled hearts & brains
Life’s unrivaled antic
Up the rose strewn trail scented
rushes the frantic fool
dizzy, common sense dented
like a kid out of school
We’re unfazed
hasty, dazed
our eyes glazed
all sense razed
Aroused to love romantic
what thrilling perception
our life’s unrivaled antic
of passion, deception
A game by a Creator ‘demented’
assures new generations tormented
