And now for The News.
Death, Die, Destroy!
Fear! Fear! Fear!
Not precious
to explain,
the flowery habits of prose.
A poem can say
fuck you
in so few words.
In rhyming couplets,
or just straight.
The love of my life.
What does that even mean?
Until you change your mind,
And walk away.
Or is it forever?
Is that a promise?
One you can keep.
Will keep?
Poetry is
Isis, or
Daesh, or
Isil, or
IS, or
rabid muslims,
with bad attitudes, or
whatever the fuck they call themselves,
being blown up by a bomb.
"Ah!" Boom!
The way these fanatic's
brain tissue splatters
against the nearest wall
is poetry in motion.
Kersplat!
One less
to deal with,
is poetic
in
itself.
Kerboom!
One
less.
If, in the end,
there is no individual liberty,
what are we fighting
the war on everything for?
A man infected another man
with HIV, knowingly,
and got 30 years prison.
In this modern era
that takes away
individual liberty,
it is only fair,
that it takes away
individual responsibility,
as well.
Some people really like to talk,
They must think
they are interesting,
Or important, or something.
Sadly the incessant talkers are
Rarely any of those things,
And deep down, I think,
They know it.
So do the rest of us a favour
And get therapy,
Stop making us all pay
For the infrequency
of you mother’s touch,
or the absence
of your father’s love.
Heal yourselves,
And Stop taking us all daily
On your mindless journey.
Half the world is starving
Half the world is bloating
Half the world has no water
Half the world has too much,
finding ways to build a bigger trough,
rather than giving anything up,
for those who don't have enough.
Summer is here
time for prawns and beer
and little swimming shorts
for all the queers
suntans, bbq's,
late night chatting,
long drinks,
family time
Sunday afternoon batting
beach hijinks
burnt skin
zinc cream
easy livin'
sweat and flies,
alleluia
rise up singin'
in praise of the sun
