Tears Shed Still Flood The Earth
men were described as beasts
before an apocalyptic flood and after
before legendary Biblical flood and after
men no longer strut across landscape like giants
men crush landscape all obstacles into dust particles
men raise up great monuments giant skyscrapers into skies
men dominate landscapes all available resources earth sea skies
but tears still ever flood the earth shed by staring millions

Slicks Matrix
I am the poet junkie
writing my fix
anytime of any day
when thoughts I must say
in form rarely chunky
yet words may transfix
clicks the poet junkie
writing lyrics fix
anytime of any day
traffics thoughts at bay
in form rarely funky
yet words may transfix

Siren Singing
You would not
let me write.
You do not
support it.
You do not
understand it.
You would steal
time with moods
childish tantrums
endless cups of coffee
cigarettes smoked
like obsolete
steam train.
You would
be my chain and ball
I Prometheus Bound
heart eaten out
day and night
by craven
of cowling despair
siren singing
plied pity song
to founder
lost souls
upon destruction rocks
counting skeletons
former adventurers.
Who journeyed
upon odyssey
culminating
upon these fed
isle wreck shores
rib caged despair
broken dreams?

British Conservative Government Provokes Punters
British conservative government rises to power
on band wagon promise to abolish university fees
now with stiff upper lip their punters are stiffed
betrayal is rabid 300 percent rise in university fees
a policy like giving new home owners a free front door
then smiling innocently as you steal their castle houses
bring down clowns as fraud squad removes government
real clowns are dedicated professionals aiming to please
putting in hundreds of hours of dedication to get act right

Legendary Sirens Luring Sailors Onto Rocks
legendary
stories of sirens
luring sailors
to their deaths
on piercing rocks
consuming
their flesh brains
ancient adhellas
preying on men's
adventurous lives
plying
dark compelling spells
alluring enchanting arts
apparently sly prostitutes
in red light Jakarta's
inviting
fresh flesh markets
hospitality hostesses
hide trade secrets
hooking customers
enticing
hidden golden charms
implanted gold inserts
embedded golden flecks
beneath skin in their faces
witching
spells golden lures
of confidence flashes
plays customer's pockets
as prizes crash upon lusts
rising
juicy stormy passions
testosterone mounting beasts
sensory emotive floods
time locked before reason returns

Beware Words Written
words celebrating what is written
beware allure of beauty in words written
seek instead words thoughts not written
words not written thoughts not written
themes not written which need to be written
the importance of the unwritten demands writing
important world needs consciousness needs writing
urgent global necessity issues demands needs writing
actions resolutions policy change harmony restoration needs writing

Superior Psychology Taught In Ancient Greece
view arrogance
of 19th 20th century
new psychology
psychologists
thinking themselves
inventers of wheels
clever Ancient Greeks
knew better how to treat
an ill audience in mass
enthrall with moral enemas
enigma in dramatic insight
morality in staged lessons
acts through drama comedy tragedy
plays staged to heal amoral social ills
of Greek then contemporary society
acts as a celebrated community event
no individual shrink ego unfavourable
no dread social attached connotations
in free city state attend citizens
poor enter free are community paid for
all receive social entertainment
enlightenment received together for stability
of an entire Athenian city populace community
for yearly harmony of city state prosperity
an educated city state populace harmony
through 2 festival seasonal performances yearly
3 comedy 1 tragic plays each festival day
superior social psychology
in classical Greek cities taught
Dionysia and Lenaea festivals
late spring beginning winter festivals
business stopped freed are prisoners
in order to fully celebrate participate

The Truth Written Within Us
If God is truly within us as God claims?
Then truth written in our soul there retains?
The answer to life questions in our souls we may seek.
Deep within God wrote words of wisdom truth that speak.
How can we accept knowledge of what can be found there?
God gave our conscience to discern truth do not despair.

Defining A Good Life
lifeline written
in the palm

a secret humanity
finds hard
to understand
a long life
is not necessity
a good life
if a short life
is a good life
