Commiserating Aches

 

Everything hurts these days
as pain rides shotgun with me
probably for the balance

of this journey

I'm sure you don't wanna hear
my litany of aches
since you got your own issues
though maybe if we share
our hurtful relationship with life
it can be a soothing
mutual human distraction

Misery does indeed need company

Telescopic Truth

 

Black backdrop

Sky canvas

Specks on the spectrum
silently flickering away
from a far off galaxy

Ancient visual waves
at long last reach my eyes 

On the horizon I see
a supernova flame out flash

Someone's sun was checking out
in a fiery solar explosion

I say "was"
because the expiration date
was millions of years ago
back when our dinosaur crew

was meeting

it's inevitable extinction fate

Light sure is hyper fast
and yet
distance takes it's toll

So you see my mortal friends

Even the stars die out

As will ours someday

Everything goes 

As do we

Accept this natural reality
and cease chasing 
the very flawed concept
of ever lasting eternity

Taking Out the Garbage

 

Open your windows
my closed minded friends

Take a deep whiff

That is the sickly smell

of putrid prejudice
wafting through the air

Like eggs gone rotten

This stench of ignorance
is a malignant growth

The current festering infection

plaguing our national conciousness

If we do not remove
the tumor of hatred
at it's core source
our once great nation

will surely succumb
to a death self inflicted

If we manage to survive

our collective madness

the healing process

is gonna be a bitch

but maybe the cliche

"What does not kill you makes you stronger"

is not a dumpster fire of bullshit 

Wrecking Opinions

 

The medical technician

of much experience

said just because

the light shone through it
didn't necessarily mean

the ugly tumor wasn't malignant

I sought a second opinion
from my trusty bartender William
who watches lots of medical shows
and is a new science disciple

of the venerable RFK Jr

Dr Billy instantly prescribed
more fiber in my diet
and a shot of heroin

to level off any internal stresses

I thanked my well informed friend

for his valuable service

My philosophy

of living serenely

is to always

follow the learned advice

of high click volume influencers

well more versed

in internet based expertise

than woefully ignorant scientists

Sign off

 

On those days
where all I wanna do
is stay in bed
and not
come out to play

I force myself
to ignore
my inherent
anti social ways
and choose
to reside in this world
reluctantly

I can't hide from life

Believe me I've tried 

Mesmerized by technology

Tethered
to my
flat screen society
with all my fellow
social misfits

Island blips

Transmitting
clever quips

Our soothing
soul numbing
addiction

You can't do
SOCIAL
by yourself
so lose the MEDIA
from social media
and don't be
such an oxymoron 

America Dystopia

 

Live today on State TV
the conclave of eager zombies
will conduct a praise lavishing orgy
in another Glorious Leader slobberfest

While there may not be
one sentient being
at the mahogany round table
we will as a captive nation
get to bear witness
to the highest level of loyalty
which in our new reality
is how we now grade

performance competency

Be there when we commence
the greatest ever
ass kissing contest

for the icon who saved us

Just another prime example
of the full transparency
being conducted daily
by your see through government

Of course your full viewership

will be a mandated requirement

to prove not only

your full fledged loyalty

to the Great Man

but the full commitment

of every citizen

to the glorious grandeur

of the Thought Collective

Thank you for your attention 

Tipping Point Break

 

The tiny ant
rolls with such audacious courage

Taking on all oppressors
seeking to hold his kind down

The tiny ant pushes back
against these powerful forces
of oppression

The tiny ant challenges authority
over the concept of freedom

The tiny ant is now a martyr
for this noble cause

Squished beyond all recognition

Is the dead ant a hero or a fool?

Will his death be a spark

of revolutionary ignition

or another forgotten casualty

of history?

Probably the latter

but that did not matter

to the tiny ant

who was simply tired

of being pushed around

GOP Jesus

 

Teach your children
TRUE Christian
AMERICAN values

Buy the little brats
a Trump Bible or two

And not one
with a slanted Euro view

Charity begins

in a well fortified

well armed American home

to protect

and deliver us 

from the dark forces

of advancing evil

the Deep State propagandists

peddle as social progress

For tis written
in the Book of Exceptionalism
the poor ain't nothing more

than Satan's spawn
sent here to weaken our resolve
and plunge us into the darkness
of global homosexual socialism

Jesus digs success
and only loves winners like him 

Duly Noted

 

The half ass man
I today am
has become so disillusioned
by the sorry state
of this domain
I now choose

to only hear the highs

Blocking all discordant

non conforming tones
from voices that roll differently

to my particular sensibilities 

does provide input uniformity
but tis a fool's gold
when you decrease your range
and attempt to exist limited 
in this life monolithically

Best to respect the spectrum

that rolls with the power

of the collective harmony

even though it tends to be

perpetually off key

But you gotta be in it

if you ever wanna influence

the symphony tune

True Ugliness

If you are offended

by my existence
and if the unsightly
appearance I carry with me
disturbs your aesthetic sensibilities
I do contend
that you are the true freak
with deformed heartless opinions

Not to mention
the sheer hypocrisy
of a creature so ugly
ever sitting in judgment
of anyone's worth or beauty

So next time you decide

to drop a mocking aside

in a lame attempt at humor

down to the level

of your equally cruel

insecure low esteem crew

beware the anvil of irony

destined to one day land

on your cackling heads

Loin Sprinkler

 

More pious than you me
only ejaculates freely
for the express purpose

of reproductivity

Not even tissues

will be utilized
to soak up my wasted seed
when I'm feeling horny

and lonely

Propagation of our species
is a biological necessity

We all gotta do our part

and give in to what comes naturally

If only I could find
willing fertile birthing vessels
to accommodate these needs

Ready, willing, and able am I

to do what it takes to multiply

using my egg guided missile sperms

as a hammer

to your receptive nail

Together we shall

regenerate the human population

and rescue our race

from self generated

ignominious extinction 

Ladies? 

Time for you to do

your maternal duty

and assume

the procreation position

to save humanity

Misunderstanding All You See

 

Prolonged exposure

to the hard core ignorance

prevalent these contentious days

will greatly constrict depth perception

and tragically narrow your senses

So you best open those eyes

See the fallacies of hard core lies

Allow the light of knowledge

to penetrate the entrenched darkness

that feeds human ignorance

Do a little self education

Become an enlightened citizen

THIS IS THE WAY 

Bloody Musing

 

Mirror mirror
on the ceiling

Tell me
tell me
what I'm feeling

Can you sense my seething rage?

Childish over reacting you say?

I'm playing the part of drama queen?

THAT'S SO UNTRUE !!!

Do I need to pop a cap into you?

Now you mock me and say I'm bluffing!

A flat slab of frickin glass
dares question my sincerity!!!

 (BANG) (CRASH)

Mirror mirror
now shattered on the floor
and all over my bloodied body

Does self reflection
really matter
with a head now hemorrhaging profusely 
and a perspective totally splattered?

I do know this much going forward...

Self reflection can be dangerous

So no more hazardous props required
when I dare to self inquire 

Wizard Droppings

 

The Three in One
Bigger Better Man implant

your benevolent corporate friends
here at TechWiz
is a major upgrade
of our flawed species
so riddled with organic defects

The entire human refurbishment package

the too slow evolutionary process 

Respect the Counterattack

 

Your sword of betrayal
pierced my exposed heart
and left me a bloody mess

Forever shattering
my naive shield of innocence

You left me for dead
but bitterness
brought me back

Round One 
was dominated by you
as I slumped 
dazed and confused
against the blood stained ropes

but I knew
your offensive energy
had all been spent

Pay back time for me
with interest
was about to commence
in Round Two

A word of advice
for my soon to be vanquished
and forgotten foe

Next time you choose
to do a cheap shot
blind side attack
against a defenseless victim
put them completely away
with your first
sucker punch blow
cause as surely

as night turns to day
they will rise up
and pummel back your smug ass
with nothing to lose 

vengeful desperation

Corrode Trip

 

Hi!! Ho!!

Hi!! Ho!!

Off to Sodom Town we go
to satisfy
our bodily needs

Bring your roll of green

Pluck a poppy obscene

Find the street corner
chemistry professor man

Peddling pixie dust
smiles by the gram

Drop a nickel or dime

Not too expensive
considering the high

Ingest a victimless crime

Guaranteed flight

Pretty colors everywhere

Warm buzz ignites

Sirens blare

Flashing lights

Hospital bound

Bring it down

Another junkie to repair

Pump out the poison

Damn
the damage is extensive

This one needs a body bag

A parting souvenir
from the Killer Klowns
of Sodom Town 

Shade Dispenser

 

Before I became
the black cloud I am today
I used to care deeply
about my fellow man

Filled with a sense of empathy
and feelings of empowerment 

Naive me
actually believed that I mattered

People would listen
with great respect
for my every profound utterance

But alas 
the world was too wrapped up
in it's own cynical agenda

Made me and my noble intentions
feel foolishly irrelevant

Now I chirp satirically irreverently

A humor shield
defense mechanism
from ever being hurt again
the way open hearts always do

A bitter mockingbird
hopping around
with clipped wings
and a rotten attitude

Bumble Beastie

 

Take pity
on the Joker in Chief
and his cackling minions
whose main priority
is not governing
cause they really suck at that

Their whole pathetic existence
is now performative trolling
which long ago 
ceased being effective
when it became so overplayed
it devolved into parody
of a toothless monster
no longer scary 

Now the world laughs

and mocks the exposed loser 
which triggers

the accelerated madness
of the desperately insecure
and emotionally fragile

feckless fraud 

Off Lining

 

In my current non connectivity

static state of locked out panic 

I seek remedy for my ignorance

by interfacing with enlightened

tech gurus of the 21st Century

Scrolling through

the assistance thickets

I click on a support link

that may be my restoration ticket

to connectivity happiness

Surely one of these mystical 

modern day Brahmins

can restore my connection

to cyber civilization

After hours of futility

failing to communicate

with these mystics

due to my lack of fluency

in the new computer terminology 

off the grid me

had an epiphany

I DON'T NEED THIS

I was so much happier

in the slower paced

the primitive pre-techy era

Now I live life unplugged

off the invasive grid

Perhaps someday

you will go overload too

and come join me

for a cup of coffee

and human conversation

at that quaint cafe

down by the lake

Self Edit Directive

 

Right now
my blood alcohol level
is more booze than plasma
so I gotta confess
I am typing under the influence
so please excuse
this poetic incoherence
though cynics would say
I write better this way

While that stinging critique
is pretty damn funny
my instincts yell
this post won't age well
and will be probably
deleted come morning

That's if I manage to recall
in my self induced 
hung over fog state
that I ever wrote
such a muddled mess
in the first place

Fortunately for me

nobody reads my shit anyway

So what the Hell are you doing

literary slumming here?

Knot Out

 

I find
early morning unraveling
of the knots I crafted yesterday
extremely therapeutic and relaxing

Releasing the pressure

on my jammed up brain

has become

a mental health necessity

The slow methodical
deknotting process
is also a great way
to review and learn
from the mistakes
that we accidently did create
embedded deep
in our tangled life complications

Bitter Compost

 

When we Boomers do convene
in our non tech sanctuaries
there's a general grumpy consensus
that the younger generation
are spoiled entitled brats
who lack proper appreciation
for the ancient ways
we rose colored
geezer gazers 
rolled with
in the simpler "good old days"

It almost seems
these petulant kids
can't wait 
for our bitter 
dinosaur asses to die out

In the coming too soon tomorrow
it will be their turn
when they go gray
to one day congregate
in their damn chat rooms
(which will be as outdated as they)
and rag on the faults
of the lazy good for nothing
future Generation Whatever
about a general lack of respect
for their perpetually pissed
out dated elders

When Karma does even the score
we now content ghosts of the past
will collectively be laughing our asses off 

Rainbow Hunters

 

Call me simplistic

Label me naive
but I've finally
realized
after all these years
of soul crushing disappointments
the key 
to happiness
is to NOT rush the process

Joy cannot be forced

Just live

Just love

Let life settle
and fall into 

it's natural place
at it's own pace
and stop
forever chasing
the antiquated concept
of fairy tale 
happily ever after endings

That frog you perpetually kiss

will never transform

into a perfect prince

but there exists out there

a perfectly suitable mate

to settle down with

if you let it 

Life is a one step at a time journey

Classified Jollies

 

Our inside joke

was so private

no one else in this dour joint

got the jolly point

or saw the humor

only we shared...

Strange looks

and rolled eyes

was their reflex reaction

of collective group ignorance...

Not that we cared

that our warped brand of comedy

was mutually laughter inclusive...

Together we have journeyed

far beyond the staid propriety

that unfortunately

defines the current grim reality...

Butt seriously..

Poking and pushing back

at the forces of oblivious absurdity

keeps this all too often

very scary ride semi-interesting

A must for any shared

successful long term relationship

with a fellow traveler

For you see...

Love surely is done

when you lose the smiles

that attracted you way back when

and you both forget how to have fun 

Shunned Squad

 

2..4..6..8..10..11

11?

Guess I'm the odd man out again

They tell me sorry

No match for me

Banished to the leftover pile
with all the other undesirable
unloved misfit mutants

Maybe social isolation

is a blessing

in such a shallow

cruelly judgmental

exclusionary environment 

I Am the Nutman

 

Little me

used to request constantly

to chef Mommy

not to include nuts

in with the brownie mix

My plea was always nixed

cause she controlled

the applied ingredients

that comprised the final product

she would create

An early valuable life lesson

served up on a plate

You can't always get what you want

You gotta learn to adapt

and make the best

of less than optimal situations

By the way

today I am

a steadfast nut man

A compromised product

of my childhood environment

Fly By Night

 

High in the irreverent sky
we flock of inebriated loons
flying out of formation

It's just one of those untucked nights
beneath the buzzing neon moon

Inhibitions are suspended

Rules of engagement upended

Social norms we are destined

to rationalize away
when natural urges take sway

Free styling all the way

Life is all about

accumulating laughs

to store as memories for sustenance

during future storms

No fretting about consequence
til the morning after
cleanup crew arrives
to shame and lecture
those of us hung over unfortunates
who somehow managed to survive
the moral busting carnage
of the liberating evening 

Hacker Attacker

 

The Hacker Attacker
has penetrated all firewalls !!

Infiltrated the master server !!

Damn that Network Infector !!

Curse the anonymous cyber assassin !!

Injecting viral chaos
over the now defenseless internet
as screens all over the globe
are now hopelessly locked

Communication sources severed

Our glorious tech devices
reduced to expensive paper weights

The fiend is wreaking web havoc
for reasons unknown
though authorities do suspect
the heartless genius rogue
is a pimply faced loner
operating out of Mom’s basement

It’s always the social outcasts
you have to watch out for
when their frustrations explode

Just another tragic case
of good brains gone bad

Freelance Dancer

 

Freelance dancer
putting down
moves on the floor
never seen before

Improvising performer
with the creative feet
has been known to fall
on his face
but that's OK

No harm done
cause the thrill
and possibility
of humiliating disaster
tis all part
of the freelance charm
to we wallflowers in awe 
of such unrestrained bravery

Plea For Mercy

 

You cut me to the core
when you malign my verses

They lack polish obviously
and often stray
from any semblance
of coherent thought
but gimme a break
it's my frickin therapy !!

Tis the only vent outlet I have
cause booze makes me puke
and mood meds
are just too damn expensive

So hate away
on my amateur poetry
but I would greatly appreciate it
if you could show some compassion
and do your literary critiques silently

Thank you for your attention 

Voice Over Easy

 

You know my enemy

That sly insidious
vice whisperer extraordinaire 
of a persuasive bent
taking up residence 
in your easily influenced head
that gets you to do
what you know
deep down
you should not do

Those clever rationalizations
that sugar coat temptation
making them go down easy

Say hello to Dr Satan

Purveyor of feel good prescriptions

And you certainly
know me

I'm that feeling
in your heart that
tugs at your soul

That nagging doubt
when you do the mischief
your heart screams
you should not do

I am your conscience

Defender of your soul

Excavator of buried morality

I am God

The one flaw in my design
(at least the angels say so)
is the free choice
I installed in man eons ago

I beg to differ

My faith
in this product 
of my divine creation
remains eternally steadfast

As do my lofty expectations

Last Call Serenade

 

As our blurry retrospective
mercifully fades to black
the realization hits us
there's no going back

Yesterday can finally
be completely
unequivocally

buried

No more need
for these rose colored specs

Our delusional

eternity tokens

have all been spent 

Time to get ready
for the exit ramp up next
on the road to mortality

And so it goes by friends

All good, bad, and indifferent
things come to an end

Last one out

please turn out the lights

prior to final departure 

Connection Game

 

On the top tip 
of the hook up pyramid
sits my probably unattainable
fantasy angel

Reigning over her domain
the queen of the scene
sips her inhibition loosening potion
with that quiet confidence
this hungry man finds irresistible

From down below
I formulate my action plan
to connect with this feminine dream

Armed with suave intentions
I move in
with my time tested
interaction pitch
but
her polite smile
and sultry eyes
immediately
throws me off my game

My best laid presentation
is reduced instantly
to a clumsy advance
saturated with cheap
cliched pick up lines

Her disdain of my existence
is readily apparent
as the heart shattering bitch
(she's probably a lesbian)
conveys no way
she'll ever wanna play
with a limp dick like me

To save us both
further embarrassment
I quickly execute 
a shameful retreat
to Losers Corner
where I regroup
seeking solace
from my merciless
currently gelded friends
who brutally mock
(as only buddies can do)
my "She's out of your league"
crash and burn
voyage to the stars

Such are the perils
of manned relationship flight
as I now set my sights
on that crimson haired beauty
from another galaxy 
who looks a little lonely tonight...

Timing is everything in love and life 

Self Boosting Shooting

 

This damn obsession
weighing me down

to keep adding
more
lines
past closing time
is nothing more
than a pointless compulsion
to fill in
all the blank spaces

It's this fear of emptiness
that fuels
the minimal self confidence
I have always had
in my perceived

(or maybe justified)
inadequate talents
as an artist

Either way...

THIS IS ME...

So...

FUCK LOW SELF ESTEEM
