End of the Line Dancing

 

Tick tock

I seem to have forgotten where I left my specs

Gotta work around the blur

Tick Tock

Did I take my meds?

Can't find them anyway

What's my number again? Written down on a scrap somewhere What's the name of that face I should know? I know I knew it not too long ago

It seems lately

these gaps are happening

with greater regularity My brain seems to be dripping

snippets of my mind as in rolls the dementia fog The insidious onslaught

of cognitive decline

Soon I won't even realize

how far gone I am

In the end

it will be better this way

Blissful self ignorance

Bull Doged

 

Don't lay

this darkest before the dawn

played out comfort cliche

on me and my

scared shitless society

of former rational creatures

Let's push the panic button

if we can somehow find

that modern security blanket

amidst all this darkness..

And in our desperation
we turned to the Disruptor
and his agents of chaos
to perform shock therapy

on our malfunctioning nation

The fatal flaw in this plan
is that rampaging bulls
don't give a damn
about the consequences
of shattered plates in their wake

strewn all over the place
 
Now we few adults who remain

are gonna have to clean up this carnage

along with the bloody mess

the long gone stampede crew made

All because we fools opted

for mindless random

mass destruction
over the nuanced adjustments

of precision reconstruction

Duct Tape and Chicken Wire

 

Things break

in this existence

of wear and tear

People snap

when tensions

become too heavy to bear

We do our best 

to fix what we can

Replace broken parts

Patch up the holes

Not easy to do repairs

when spinning out of control

As we learn to accept

we gotta work around

these stubborn defects

that define

our flawed existence

Cause and Respect

 

Today's parade
will commence
promptly at eight

This will be
a mass celebration
of the brave
arsonist fireman
who has started many a blaze
but quickly extinguished
the horrible conflagration
of his own creation
much to the amazement
of we gullible
hero starved sychophants
clad in our best
gasoline saturated threads

Mushroom Soup

 

In a land where light never shines mushroom citizens reside Consumed with raging bitterness at the oblivious oak tree which steadfastly blocks out the sun from their little black patch of ground Task force meetings are constantly convened Shadow removal action plans proposed and bounced around How to take down this anchored obstruction given their limited resources and budgetary constraints of a fungi economy? In the darkness it’s so very hard to see the futility of current reality

Shit Storm Part Deux

 

What we thought flushed
is back with a vengeance

This unrepentant
overflowing mess of a man
once again has risen

to obliterate

our fragile existence

flooding out this thin veneer

of no longer reliable denials

Our arrogance did this
as the stench of his ignorance
blasts our nostrils
with yet another reminder
that blind faith
in flawed institutions
over common sense
has drowned

many a complacent empire

Scorched Bricks

 May I have your attention

for an important announcement

from your Department

of Homeland Rearrangement...

Our cultural dissolution

will commence promptly at eight...

Please don't be late...

All toxic relics of our corrupted civilization

will be promptly set ablaze

in a raging bonfire you won't wanna miss...

Bring your camera phone devices

to get the best conflagration flame shots

and then toss those hand held beasts

into the cleansing fire

for a fitting ironic conclusion

Stick around for the mandatory after party

scheduled for around midnight

where a plethora of filthy dissidents

will be tossed into the inferno we did create

Their cowardly screams 

will serve as a scorching reminder

that we here at your DHR

are serious to the extreme

about making America Hate Again

Eating In

Power to the people

At least in theory

cause all these Indians

need a strong Chief

Enter Oligarchy

Compassionate stewards are we

of the frustrated electoral majority

who have been conditioned to view

their government as the enemy

We will burn it to the ground

and piss on the ashes

of your frail democracy

that we in our benevolence

have permanently wrecked

The bill

for our self serving services

will be due immediately

cause we predators gotta eat

the prey who invited us in

Mr Lighter Fluid

 

From out of the Wasteland I came

to burrow my way

into your already infected brains

Setting off a festering insanity

that was boiling just beneath the surface

Go ahead and decry my existence

and blame me

for your raging sickness

I am not the root cause

of your current inferno

fever condition

I was just the ignition

and mine will be

the last face you see

before you get consumed

by the searing flames

self inflicted
