Ode to the Outcasts

The mass text spoon fed
to satiate conventional wisdom
will never reach full saturation
so long as there exists free thinkers
who chafe against conventional interpretation...

They will of course be ostracized
and pushed off to the side 
for their lack of thought conformity...

As painful as their isolation may be
they can take solace in this certainty...

All progress throughout human history
was driven and advanced by such outcasts
who dared to venture outside the main stream

Inter Gender Demolitions

Aging former beauty queen...

Perpetually battling gravity
and the catty whispers
of alleged friends...

Perhaps out of jealousy
or the residue of past envy...

Many of whom themselves have stealthily
had bodily parts enhanced surgically...

Perhaps they should focus their efforts
on uplifting each others spirits...

This quality of humility
and communal empathy
is a timeless reflection
of true and lasting beauty

And Read All Over

Zebra Zebra...

We dig your stripes
of black and white...

A metaphor perpetually
of racial harmony
and spiritual coexistence
which long ago
drifted into the domain
of lazy cliche...

Zebra Zebra...

Stay clear of predators
and desperate philosophers

In the End

My innuendos once so crisp
gradually began to slip...

Becoming so worn
and outside newly minted social norms
I became a social outcast...

Now wearing the label
sexist misogynist 
of a Boomer origin
the muzzle fits snug
over these inappropriate lips..

Stripped of all sarcasm
by the very same forces
I use to mock and disparage
back when I was still relevant..

My dreams of a blue comedy
Renaissance now destined to die with me
