‘Neath Doom’s Trump

‘NEATH DOOM’S TRUMP

Through deepest midnight
Hid light persists in shadow
Embroiders darkness

Poo Purée

POO PURÉE

Fundamentalism
And “white supremacy”
They have a pungent scent
Smothering any sense

Magpie

MAGPIE

Passion runs
And ruins
our lives

Infuses
And refuses
In equal measure

Dug In

DUG IN

“I do not need proof.
My beliefs are strong enough.”
A slippery slope.

Friday 13th

FRIDAY 13th

The worse today gets
How easier to improve
It’s for tomorrow

Alter Net

ALTER NET

Those who view breathing
A necessary evil
Deserve our support

Battling With Occluded Vision

BATTLING WITH OCCLUDED VISION

At the “super”market today
I passed some people
Trying to collect money to
“Support Our Troops”

For God’s sake

Which part of
“Though shalt not kill”
Do they not understand?

For pity’s sake

“Father, forgive them
For they know not what they do”

LETTING GO (THE PROCESS OF)

This painful churning
(You know of course more than well)
– Unavoidable

Shush!

SHUSH!

These emotional symphonies of yours,
with their hypnotic little melodies;
encore after encore.
The last thing they need is your applause.

Another Day

ANOTHER DAY

Still here
Alive and well
Tricked by a promise
That I had finished pretending

I sometimes think that if we were fitted with a simple mechanism for painlessly switching ourselves off permanently there would be very few humans walking around.
