...meh...my poetry is either soppy Love Poetry or whacked out hidden-meaning/dark type poetry...or stupid social commentary...
Examples (and NOPE I ain't posting none of my Love Poetry, dats not for your eyes
) :
COLD SPAGHETTI AND A HALF EATEN HAMBURGER
Clenched fist on rubber grip,
Cold steel now slightly warmed.
Ears still ringing from the crack of thunder,
Erupting as a final momento for someone I once knew.
So quiet now...
I can hear water leaking from a busted pipe.
A starving alley cat,
Rummaging through the remains of last nights dinner.
So quiet its deafening,
At least the gunshots created noise.
Cried out all that they were about.
Silence however hides in its shadows,
Like some crazy old bag lady who knows something she won't share with the world.
Its amazing how ones mind can go to its happy place,
When childhood dreams and fantasies are no longer apparent.
When all that exists is a distorted reality,
Yet it remains real within its own clarity.
And so we drink tonight, rejoice a job well done,
Sparing a thought for the bros who no longer drink with us.
Some brotherhood...
To be remembered only as an unopened bottle of beer.
While their crumpled bloodsoaked bodies lay in a damp alleyway,
Like the remains of last nights dinner.
ROADWORKS
Sometimes I wonder...
If I am just a speed bump on your Highway of life.
Slowing you down...
Keeping you from your destination.
Like one of them road-side 'Lollipop Men',
Leaning, half asleep on their STOP sign.
Maybe I'm just a radio...
Tuned to a pleasant station.
Helping relieve the boredom,
Before the advertisements kick in...
And the Lollipop Men still lean.
Till you get the green.
SINGALONG
Gather round my brethren I'm abouta singa song,
About me old boys Matthew, Mark, Luke and little John,
Its a simple little ditty I'm hoping y'all sing along,
I'm about to getta started now so don't be putting me wrong...
...coz I'ma beatin' and a bashin' and a whipping my Bible,
And if Book Abuse was a crime ya know I'ma be liable.
Yes, justa beatin' and a bashin' and a whipping my Bible,
Would ram it down ya throat ya sinner but that really isn't viable.
Gotta Non-Molestation Order again' me,
For hassling the public so religiously
Could even be facing Assault and Battery,
After kicking the heck outa Dueteronomy.
I'ma beatin' and a bashin' and a whipping my Bible,
And if Book Abuse was a crime ya know I'ma be liable.
Shun ma daughter coz I caught her kissing up on some boy,
I showered her with shame until her self-esteem was destroyed,
But dats the Word of my Lord and I don't like it being toyed,
She killed herself, now she's going to Hell coz my God's annoyed.
I preach every chance I get, don't care if ya wanna hear,
You can turn away if ya want but I'ma shout it in ya ear,
Coz I got a right to be obnoxious, its in the Bible somewhere,
And when I finally get to Heaven I know my reward is there.
Coz I'ma beatin' and a bashin' and a whipping ma Bible,
And if Book Abuse was a crime ya know I'ma be liable!
...right...theres some examples of old poetry I got kicking around...got a ton more I won't threaten y'all with just yet...
Peace,
