No silver thread, no voice to name the wayβ
Just walls and warnings passed from tongue to tongue.
His first breath rose from two-thirds drawn from hell,
A fire dimmed by lessons never asked.
They caged him in with rules and screaming brats,
While puppets smiled through teeth of plastic gloss.
The parents barked like kings who'd lost their crowns;
He bore their bile and learned to taste ...

A Tribute to Ozzy Osbourne
He walked where angels fear to tread,
With eyes alight and painted dread.
A crown of chaos on his brow,
He ruled the stage β he rules it now.
With Sabbathβs chords he shook the sky,
The riffs would scream, the doves would cry.
Through βParanoidβ and βWar Pigsβ loud,
He gave his soul to please the crowd.
He bit the night and drank the flame,
Unchained an...

A restless hush pervades the quiet shore,
Though waves repeat what they have said before.
No peace arrives to fill the aching frame,
Each sunset looks the same, a muted flame.
The night drips dry upon a thirsty tongue,
While sleepless hours claw where thoughts are hung.
Old songs return and circle, tight and thin,
Their looping lines grown sharp beneath the skin.

This poem is meant to be a stark warning to the Nobel Committee: awarding Donald Trump

Whose heart hath naught to grasp the whole.

The songs of sorrow brushed his coat,
He missed the point, he cleared his throat.

"Without my cash, you'd have faced defeat."
