Tale of Three Cities

New York blasted London blasted
Singapore -
Ripped off each other's metaphoric balls,
Crumbling walls.

Priapic city monoliths -
Blue-sky scraping bastards -
Shout about their height (but really length) .

V8 arseholes didn't care -
Pumping shit into the air,
So long as they were always there to
Fart aloud a smoggy cloud,
Laughing at the weak asthmatic,
Humoured that it seems traumatic.

Watch the greedy cities oozing
Chair-bound fat committees, though they
Look a bunch of titties as they
Waffle on about the pound.

Ever thought to look around and see
That they were dead?

The voters reward good performance. So, I'm going to go out and focus, if I become the governor, to do the very best job I can as governor. The rest of it will take care of itself.

You know, my dad served in the President's Cabinet after his time as a governor. He told me he enjoyed being governor a lot more. Now, I understand why. If I do my job well, I can make a difference in people's lives and I can help our children realize their dreams.

All My Life, I Have Loved It

All life do love west lake good
Come crowd red wheel
Riches and honours float cloud
Head down head up flow years twenty springs

Return come precisely like distant east crane
City wall people
Meet eye all new
Who recognise that year old governor
All my life, I have loved it- West Lake is good.
A crowd around the red wheels,
Riches and honours are floating clouds,
Look down, look up, the years flow on, twenty springs have passed.

Now returned, I look like a crane from the distant east.
The people around the city walls,
All are new that meet the eye,
Who can remember their governor from those olden days?

The Big City Type

I woke up in a big city apartment

Rode to a big city job

On a big city subway

With hip, big city people

Worked at a big city job

In a big city skyscraper

Stood in a big city line

For lunch, heard big city jazz

On a big city radio station

It was like a big city scene

In a big budget movie

When I realized I had become

The big city type

I always wanted to be

Yet I was still me

A physician is not angry at the intemperance of a mad patient, nor does he take it ill to be railed at by a man in fever. Just so should a wise man treat all mankind, as a physician does his patient, and look upon them only as sick and extravagant.

Enter This Deserted House

But please walk softly as you do.
Frogs dwell here and crickets too.

Ain't no ceiling, only blue.
Jays dwell here and sunbeams too.

Floors are flowers - take a few
Ferns grow here and daisies too.

Swoosh, whoosh - too-whit, too-woo
Bats dwell here and hoot owls too.

Ha-ha-ha, hee-hee, hoo-hoooo,
Gnomes dwell here and goblins too.

And my child, I thought you knew
I dwell here... and so do you

I am not prejudiced against the Negro. When I was governor, I did more to help the Negroes in our State than any previous Governor, and I think you can find Negro leaders in the State who will attest to this fact.

The Query: Ahs City (a curious city)

the Query: Ahs CiTy

(a curious city)


iT was the night before whatever
i guess it's not important
In between the now & never
in the City on the Hill
the tremors shook the residents
and the City still was still
-still full of talkers
with alterior shit
we'll call them the Authors
of Material Spit
and the Rich enslaved the people
in their expensive addiction pit
the Rich die in their Treasure
but they arent leaving here with it

..And all the while the suicides pile
for the kitty cats vigil in the city's exhile
the meows were fewer, the deaths were linked
the kitty cats in the city were almost extinct
its the ninth life insanity
enough cats die to dog a greedy humanity..

I marvel in awe as I dwell on this mystery
the suspect then dawns on me

Who is this Mr. E?
He's called Curiousity
he's allergic to cats

(..to be continued in the Neverlands..)

A double edge sword

They say love is
a physician,
or a medicine for
the hearts pang.

But is not much
accurate when love
slugs you many times
and it never heals
the heart,

Much more then that it
shatters it every time.
For my heart is wounded
in numerous ways it is not
a proving thing,

Is like a myth a
fairy tale;

Love is a double
edge sword,
they might say love
is an antidote that
heals or an aspirin to
ease the pain,

Not in my world,
in my veins,
but yet the only
love that heals my wounds
and my aches is
the Lord's love.

A mans love
has no remedy,
it is the worst love you
can conceive
love is a tainted touch
when coming from mortal,

A dark veil with
poison desires,
love has come to me
with untainted eyes,
and hidden thorns,
covering his identity,

A pet can give away
his best to you,
a pure innocent love,
with meekness eyes
and pure soul.

Love is not a healer
to the heart,
to me it is a thieve of my
peace and bliss,
a harmony turn to war.

So love is a physician,
that's what they say,
but medicine posthumous
is unreachable unless by
Godly

The love of God is
a true love,
it has no envy
no confinement,
no conditions,
is perpetual and
immaculate.

Don't tell me love
is a physician,
a physician is
what I need after having
the love of thee.

Jehovah is my physician indeed
