Truth and Dare

 

Bright is the light
the nearer we get to TRUTH...

It can illuminate the way
or incinerate our eyes...

A double edged laser sword 
this T word..

Respect it's consequence
and oft dangerous application...

So know your truths before entering

into this potentially explosive covenant

A displaced black bug 
crawling on a blank
flat screen canvas
is an insect lost..

If you splatter it
and smear it's remains
across the clean slate

the mess will give birth

to a fresh annoyance..

Though you did create
a work of modern art

that the subject model
will never appreciate

So many corporate fools
we must work around
in our daily trek
toward blissful retirement..

Grinding away
with our plastered smiles
as we struggle
to shovel through
the task force storm  
dropping bullshit from above
courtesy of the very same fools
who make the rules
that clog our existence

We who turn the wheel

and run the machines

will figure out

practical work arounds

for the edicts issued

by the pompous boobs

who know not all we do

to create the polished product

that they will take full credit for

   

Faith Bait

 

The angel
I have religiously avoided
on misguided principle

during the course

of my whole agnostic existence
gave perpetually skeptical me
a gorgeous set of wings..

Included was a checkout invitation
to rise above my somber life situation
and fly with her heavenly flock..

I took her up on the pious offer
and am a non believer no more
