(If some green meets some red, can Communism pronounce God dead?)  I couldn’t be bothered if the cat insists, we have the moon  I couldn’t be bothered if the fish inveigles my doom  I am not smart enough to tell between elk and moose  But I am wise enough to judge who deserves the hangman’s noose  I have a spirit withContinue reading “I couldn’t be bothered…yet!: A poem “

I won’t have him; I never will  even if the universe goes still  Even if you all join in the conspiracy  He has no heart, nothing else, but unfeeling belly  I may not be smart, but I have art  I know my rights, even though unacknowledged are my deeds  And I won’t forgive the one who rocks my cart  You can allContinue reading “I won’t forgive him; never will!: A poem “

Put that stupid goat Bowen in the oven  Before Christmas, make him a `that was’  His crying shame mate: Climate, at any rate  will make, all our budgeting, meet a dire fate  How long can I patiently wait  to see Labor go out of date?  Of course, they win be cheating, and capitalising   on everything I think, do and sing!  TheContinue reading “Put that stupid goat Bowen in the oven!: A poem “

Would I say the trees were free  if grass hopped and twigs flew  If fire woke me up from sleep  and the heart’s blaze was my keep  I can’t think of a dimension  that I would accrue as new  Every nook trembles with a look  The universe itself shook  My age is such, that none can gauge  But I recollect whenContinue reading “I didn’t ask for relief; there is belief: A poem “

I could have been caught in an abyss  where no angels dare to go  But wherever I go, who should follow?  There must always be an unwanted shadow  This anti-matter; is it freedom or annihilation  You know, dark energy and dark matter are hidden even in light  Stealth is always invisible to the innocent  So, I must, sometimes, transcendContinue reading “I have had to go down on my knees: A poem “

Can you see the oasis yonder is just a bloody deathtrap?  I walk, keeping my weeping armour, in the desert’s lap  Why didn’t they build any freeways, for me that, I ask, I could tap  The only road out of here is someone else’s treacherous map  I turned the zodiac over and over again, never figuring how time goes Continue reading “I am not fooled by the oasis yonder: A poem “

How can I entertain the love of so many  when I have abandoned precious her for no penny  Did I not move every mountain between us  to regain her, against all the conspiring vicious  O Mother, did I not live on but the honey of the forest  and wander aimlessly in the everglades  because I swore by my promise  to father, andContinue reading “O Sita, I can never have you; I can never have anything at all: A poem “

This love is wrapped gently in the tissues of my heart  It defines me completely, and what I am and art  There is a foundry of effort, a bastion, never taken apart  For you were the strength in my calves, right from the start  Baby girl, I often have shadows of doubt, and then IContinue reading “My darling baby girl, you know, don’t you?: A poem “
