Droning Drivel

The rich are boring
One thing in mind
Their welfare
Not those behind

Such strong convictions
Their money's lobby
Grounded constrictions
Wreckless folly

High rate loathing
Clear cut zoning
Visiting their slums
To stir some excitement

Inject their death
With numbing entitlement
Box seats bereft
Sendentary bereavement

Sweating beds watered
Slow and sure
Servants quartered
The revolt is pure

Out to ski
Clique destinations
Vacuous ennui
Tongues of all nations

Unconscious all times
Wherever they jet
Running from pain
Addict regret

Fighter Ship

Shooting scud
Bloody tide
Murky ripples
Patriot pride

Anthrax rations
Corporate passions
Red shot eyes
Targets clashes

Sickly grey
West point china
Periscope view
Off-shore messiah

Sin of Spirit

Trapped in a space station
Dizzy defenestration
Weightless unbound
Sterile compound

Type-A cosmonaut
Bags of flesh
Mutant soldiers
Floating Ganesh

From the depths of ocean
Life lives well
A chain interrupted
Pioneers expelled

Into thin air
Hubris encased
Human kind desert
Their own embrace

Well Lit Space

I write in faith
Expecting a flash
Of some kind to enter
Through space with a crash

An inkling, a vibe
The drama unbolted
Jotted down dreams
Reality revolted

In hope of the gift
A jolt or ah ha!
Channelled from light
A touch from afar

Boy

U2 seemed old
Even back when
I listened to albums
In a Danish stranger's room

Are we simply observers
Here to spectate
Gesticulate on a tune
From start to end?

Like the boy and his red balloon
Chased by ego and form
While trying to live
Above and beyond the norm

Apathetic

My thoughts don't matter
Let 'em scatter - shattered
Drivel and droll
Crass and old

Heard it before
Same script
Different bore
But still wanting - wanting more

I hear of values, principles and ethics
Recoil from these concepts
Growled out by rejects
Thou shalt not, right to life

Bearing arms
Vote and tote
A little learning
Amends for harms

It's all beginning
A start at change
To feel the feelings
Pain receding

A bird's darting
In time with time
Float and sing
Ruler of no thing
