Santa Likes To Party

Santa likes to party
Yeho and such
Smoke the ganja
With enthusiasm
Fly while dodging lit
Then devouring cookies
How do you think
He eats them all
No one likes 10,000 cookies

It takes a certain sense of independence to write poetry. Hell to write anything. We are raised and taught to ignore creativity. That dog goes nowhere. So many accept that and continue on. I never did.

So yesterday I was suspended on Facebook for making light of Trump's upcoming dissolution from this sphere and making suggestions as to where to send the body for worship or abuse. I did a bad thing.

Playing

It's mid-afternoon
The grit has worked its way
From the bottom
Of my shorts
To just under my balls
Irritating more than incapacitating

The midday sun
Dangles its heat
Across my body
In complex waves
Fighting to stop my breathing
Or swell my brain

Mr.Trump today tried to block American Sign Language interpreters at all White House press briefings. He stated he was afraid it they would make him look bad. They could be signing anything. They could be passing their woke agenda along without anyone knowing.

Waxing

I am going to wax...poetic
Give credence to my grief
Paint impossibly clear
The pain I feel every day
The loss of years
Of joy stolen
Not by time, circumstance
But by me
By things traded for other choices
plans made by thinking three moves ahead

Today, Trump signed an executive order aimed at helping him lose weight. Grubhub will no longer deliver to the White House. Steven Miller expanded his statement to deport those not benefiting America. In a surprise announcement, he deported the entire NY Jets football team.

God Damn Us

God Damn those
Who would hold me down
Drive their spikes
Of reality through
My mind
Define me without thought
Of who I REALLY AM

God Damn those
Who decide our fates
Drawn up the seams
Hemming us into their
Thought
Never seeing, tasting
The world we see

Some Days

Some days
I can still smell
The scent of youth
The smell of hope
The naive belief
Of fairness
Of effort being kind
Not ignored
Left swaying in a wave
Of uncaring discard
I hear the words

So I was listening to an electrical company executive trying to justify why the new data centers, which use massive amounts of electricity, are being offered a lower rate of payment than San Antonio citizens.

Sons Don't Grow

Sons don't grow
As old as fathers
Being better
Comes at a cost
Excelling the past
Burns deep
Into the psych
The body, the soul
We strive to excel
Succeed then
Pay a price not asked before
A responsibility given
Taken and formed
Then fading too soon

She Is The Source Of Life (unpublished)

She glowers and glows
Insinuating power
Power in a gaze
In an expression
A stance taken

Power of mind
Steel jaws of knowledge
Kept, unrusted
Gleaming with
Forethought and intelligence

Power of spirit
Kept in tight hands
Willing success

In a surprising move, the automotive Big 3 have awarded Donald Trumpf the Automotive Warranty Gold Seat award. Any seat in a moving vehicle is directly or indirectly covered in the award. If the seat can't be cleaned, it can be ignored.

Pairings And Harmonies (unpublished)

Pairings and harmonies
My emotional state
Dark twisted, unrelenting emotion
Lack of hope
dragging down dark alleys
Ensuring each thump you receive
Bright, drooling, pain
Of body, of soul

Growing Season (unpublished)

Time wraps us
In the clothing of change
Of demand dragging us forward
Taking youth to young bloom
To full maturity
To final thought
Before it is done

In it's passage
Marking a place
Constantly marking
A journey of entropy
An inevitable response
To a life lived

So Biff needs to stfu. Every day he opens his yap, something stupid comes out of it. This week so far. Honduras needs to elect the right candidate, or he will cut off aid. Since when does he get a say in another country's elections? Must be that russian influence.

Always Look Up, When Your Victim Looks Down (unpublished)

Always look up
When your victim looks down
Notice the scent
It's taste, color
The emotion it portrays
Know the heat, the desire

In today's news, Donald Trump has reportedly offered Nicholas Maduro safe passage for him, his wife, and his son out of Venezuela if he leaves now. He also alluded to giving him a cat, four boxes of chocolate, and a Spanish version of Speak & Spell.
