Façade

Façade

We choose the face we show the world

And lose our grace as truth is hurled

Flung far and wide as others take

All our lives we live as fake

The price of love is what you pay

As all your friends you will betray

So we give up goodness sake

As our lives we live as fake

In the end the lie is real

As we forget how others feel

Then another heart will break

As all our lives we live as fake

mindless

I was going to write a poem today

But my brain did not want work that way

So I wrote these lines instead

To see where inspiration lead

And this is all I had to say

Cynical

Cynical

I think you think me a cynic

That I haven’t found the right man

But I’m not that much of a finick

He’s tall and handsome and tan

He’ll jolly but acquainted with fate

He’s eyes are grey, brown and blue

His hair is curly and straight

He’s skinny and fat and short too!

You can say I’m quite insane

It doesn’t matter to me

For when I met my twinflame

He looked anywhere but at me

So if, to you, I seem selfish

When you talk of fish in the sea

Remember that I HATE shellfish

And the mercury is poisoning me

Deadly

Deadly

Tell me of the howling of winds

That blow the bleakest black

Whisper of your darkest sins

God and I will hear of your slack

Whisper to me of cleverness

Of great deeds, of battles foretold

Don’t try to make it seem less

Clever or brave or bold

Remind me of your virility

Of women, of wine, of song

Don’t bother with humility

Tragic tales are often too long

Shout of your numerous possessions

Of which you only want more

These are private confessions

Not added to legend of lore

Adding substance to the world though

Would require much effort, a coup

Forgive the truly low blow

But that seems too much effort for you

The world must seem like an oyster

One that you wish to eat

You feel as though you’ve been cloistered

And lacking of anything sweet

Forgive my troubled verses

I see the ire in your eyes

Little effect have your curses

The truth will outweigh the lies.

The Revolution Will Be Live-Tweeted

The Revolution Will Be Live-Tweeted

While wiling away the lonesome hours

The fire dies away

The subtle form and plays for power

It makes you hang your head

And wonder at this hate filled world

A golden prince in a handsome tower

Keeping girls at bay

What’s the difference between defend and cower?

When words can wound like weapons

Children learn to wield them well

It’s amazing that women haven’t soured

Of lives lived certain ways

There must be a collective willpower

The revolution comes ahead of schedule

It has waited long enough

The time has come to overpower

The world as now it lays

We must o’erturn the bower

Precious things can be destroyed

Only time should be that precious

Once the world has been scoured

We will have our say

No longer will hate devour

And all the world will be empowered

Closing in, almost a win

Tomorrow seems so far away

A long night, a bitter fight

Keeping creeping nightmares at bay

The sun appears and as the end nears

The fear is gone and dying

Time is telling, Joy is welling

There can be no denying
