Clacton-in-Ditch
Dear God, help the people
of Clacton-on-Sea,
who, thinking that things
were as bad as could be,
imagined their saviour,
that frog with a gob,
with a laugh and a smoke,
and a pint in his hand,
the working-man’s bloke,
might change his behaviour,
might just do his job,
keeping shit from their rivers
and shit from their shores?
but his amour now is orange,

approach with caution
veered off, routine stop, in the shoulder…
looking over your paper work,
keep your hands on the steering wheel,
“I’m not going to ask again”
repeated offenses
respect my authority
police officers
a ford mustang and dodge charger
government funded electric vehicles
take a look inside the hood, it
purrs like a street cat with a scratchy throat
cut the lights on and off
I’m just try...

Infinitesimal
dimensional
cellular division
the genomic sequence
time is a light matrix
encoded in
0’s & 1’s
goes on forever …
and, in that order
10, 9.
A singularity
and absolute zero
the big freeze or heat death
he said no one can help us
when, asking the universe
for answers
what, times any number
… is nothing other than zero

Family Ties

shackled

following the customs

Moral Support
We shouldn’t be embarrassed
to talk
…. about our problems
to a therapist
always looking at me, before you speak
I’m here for —You
if ever
you feel the need to talk about anything.

Web of Lies
Paralyzed
like a spider
checking in on his victim
tied up, entangled …
makes me think
of a bad dream
worsened
the familiar feeling of
waking up to the news of death
Sunday 29th September 2024 9:44 pm
Bible on a night stand
intermingling with a demon in the flesh
you realize your life was a lie
and your soul suffers in hell
for what feels like an eternal
date with death

Ebonics
A child
talking black
to their parents
acting out of character
arguing about upbringing
taken back
some things are best left unsaid…

Dark Side of the Moon
prophesied
the premonitions
foreshadow people
who live lives with
similarities parallel to our very own
when your third eye intakes light
and all the shades disappear in the night
their life is vibrant
the dream seen as an auric phenomenon
it’s either that
Or, are you completely isolated
in the back of the black of your eyelids
see an oracle or dream interpreter,
our aura’s rainbo...

Fog of War
smoking barrels
in talks —about the past
around the campfire
you could cut the tension with a knife
the only thing needed is a good sense of humor
And,
…try not to lose your self along the way
the buddy system
marching—
side by side
do you trust that man with your life?
willing to take a bullet for them?
behind every great man is a great woman…

Bullet Points
This just in
The faulty firing pin — from a fire arm
had become dislodged
effectively,
causing it to misfire
very briefly …
in acceptance of all responsibility
the city-state committee
has sent a representative
that will be answering questions
now… back to you
in other news
we have a sunny forecast
there’s a color shader
right there, on
this heat map
that has an infrared si...

Joe
A gracious, shrewd commander,
He was one of America’s best.
His courage and his honesty
Raised him up above the rest.
Now is the time to pass the torch
To a sharper generation,
To keep alive his legacy
And take forward a great nation.
For spiteful, ugly ideas tread
Upon Washington’s hallowed ground.
The politics of angry lies
Risks engulfing all around.

reincarceration
serving consecutive life sentences
three meals,
the confines of jail time
three strikes,
and they are never letting you get out
they throw the book at you
like a caged animal
preying,
...as it lands on a page that says
a message from god
sins written on — listed off, and then
sent across the hall to your distant friend again
a life of recycling license plates
crime pays for the chip...

Caucus
Middle Americans, in their homely way,
Are often overheard to say:
'I was just goofing around.'
They goof and they goof and they goof,
And sometimes they goof a little more.
And then we get Donald Trump.

Impeachment
(Up to August 2023, there have been SIX evidence-free attempts in the US to impeach President Biden. Each time Donald Trump is accused of a crime, his friends call for the impeachment of the prosecutor. Where will it all end?)
Impeach! Impeach! Impeach! Impeach!
All those who govern, judge or teach.
Impeach the man, impeach the boy,
The redwood tree, the cuddly toy.

America Turns the Lights on (US Election)
The lights go on
And the darkness slips away, from
The podium
The Twitter fueled hate
The stockpiling of lies, we thought it was too late
But it Brings a better day
Brings a better day
Brings a better day
A tombstone is lifted
And people can now breath
Not suffocating from insanity
And his personal greed
It brings a better day

God Bless America
Uninvited Squatter Amerigo
Delivered disease
Dumped some beads
Did misdeeds
and had a Grand Old Party.
An incubus descended,
and Trumpeted its coarse
of groin grabbing ostentation
to degraded, deep, deceit.
When finally ejected
there remained a steaming turd,
in a lap of soiled clothing
impossible to purge.

What Have You Got
TRIGGER WARNING: contains profanity and quoted use of racist language
What Have You Got?
What have you got
When you haven’t got a tweet
That will work on the masses
And keep them off the street
When your corrupt policies
Are all laid bare
And the people are as unruly
As your fake blonde hair
What have you got
When it all goes South
In pillow case ...

Empty crucible
Once full of righteous fire
Now just grey ashes
The snake rears its head
Striking blindly at targets
That are imagined
Adopts power stance
Arms crossed - closed for argument

While the whole world was
Expecting a
Brilliant lady
In a white-house
Drawing a blank
It witnessed a
Clown in a Farce

With the rob of Democracy
Takes stage Autocracy!
If spoken must

The revolting unfolding
Augurs ill to the youth,
The successors,
The task forces of

A better attention
To take the nation

Election USA
Conniving madness-
ever in the wings-
has come centre stage
strutting with a fringe
as a stick
with which to stir
a pot of bile and fear
whose drips and spills
point towards
a new strategy:
suicide
disorder
and self harm
that hang about
on every corner
on every farm
as wild seeds
are privately sown
in a different time
and every home.
