So it appears in the endThat the swamp was much deeperPerhaps lies came easierSince words are so much cheaper He stepped right into the messWith zero intent to cleanDumping vials of vileness‘Til the smell grew too obscene The fetid, foul funk backed upBubbling in from parts unknownSeeping into every poreRotting us down to the boneContinue reading “The Stain Remains”

Right here and now at this place in time We come to a scene quite surreal Searching for somewhere to pin this crime With no care for how others may feel Sprung from bowels of misconception Awash in the pettifog of war Rung bells of intended deception At such levels never heard before And thereContinue reading “Across the Aisle”

Your wings have now been clipped Your mouth now tightly closed It’s time to fade to black Your fraud’s now been exposed Your bully pulpit’s done Deplatformed front to back Your last incitement crashed As your scene fades to black Failed and fallen clown king A legacy disgraced Followers abandoned Leadership now replaced You playedContinue reading “Bye Bye Tweety Turd”

2020 was a shitty year On this, I think we can each agree Sadly this is where consensus ends Due largely to our dichotomy Skewed sharply by a vast division The red, the blue and sometimes the green Manifest tribal polarity Filling all the spaces in between Bleakly entrenched in our opinions Willing to loseContinue reading “Burn the Candle at Each End”

There once was a hero Or so the stories go That stood watch every night In freshly gathered snow Deep in my memories I can picture the place With the crab apple tree Cloaked in winter’s embrace Out there on the front yard ‘Neath blue incandescence Stood the mighty Glowman In bright luminescence I quiteContinue reading “The Legend of Glowman”

There lies at the heart of the season A conspiracy of unsung giving Conceived with the purest of reason Mythology that makes life worth living Derived from well-intended deceit Engineered to exploit our naivety Quite an extraordinary conceit That sows our seeds of creativity Born from long-forgotten ancient lore And steeped in propensity to hopeContinue reading “The Santa Collective”

I set out late this morning On my daily thought commute Straight for the superhighway Down the simple, easy route I jump right into my newsfeed And subconsciously commit My mind to trepidation To debates I can not quit I crank my mind in high gear Accelerating awake Turning towards the onramp I instantly haveContinue reading “Rest Stop of Babel”

Sprung from tombs of anachronism Fertilized in forefather’s pride The stench of spoiled patriotism Permeates from deep down inside Spangled head to toe in bloodstain The colors of idolized years Cloaked in the shroud of their disdain Are Faketriot’s impotent fears The waving flag of hypocrisy Sewn from fabric of our common shame Bears theContinue reading “Faketriot”

Hardwired to our source code Subconsciously prepared Transmitted by antenna To the mind yet unimpaired Anxious wires vibrating Growing accordant buzz Alternating progressions To transcend the cosmic fuzz Keys surge in synthesis Sounds in varied degrees Ambient landscapes of mood Born of nuanced subtleties Vibrating cables pulse Crunchy metallic thrum Synchronizes our heartbeats With everyContinue reading “Anachronome”
