Poems

Were it not for you

Crowding up the womb

Mucking up the works

Bringing down the room

Were it not for you

Trouble with a T

Turning on a dime

Roaming fancy-free

Were it not for you 

Breaking every rule

Lacking self-control 

Acting like a fool

Were it not for you 

Brother with a B

Living long and hard

Copycatting me

In the end we all turn to dust

No more worries we have to face

Zero thinking we need to do

In the ultimate resting place

At long last we all get ghosted

No more people we want to see

Zero places we hope to go

When the Grim Reaper sets us free

Sure, you can tell me things I don't already know

but they absolutely must be solely about science

Sure, all your other thoughts and opinions can blow

because personal beliefs aren't scientifically reliant

Unless you can agree everything's a science show

your judgmental notions won't be conjuring up truth

I previously explained science carries all of my faith

Just when I thought we would make it

Bad choices in life took their toll

We kicked the bad habits in time

But suffered too much on the whole

Just when I thought we had made it

Old age made us stop and think twice

We smoked the peace pipe in the end

But ten more years sure would be nice

We're going to slide like duck shit

with a croak pushing excrement out

slipping uncomfortably into something

our in memoriam resembles no doubt

I'm a heart attack waiting to happen

A blood clot away from fading out fast

I'm worn out and ready for the bone yard

My face a poster for things that don't last

I'm an embolus ready for action

On high angina pectoris alert

I'm so bloated and stiff and arthritic

Like rigid road kill in postmortem dirt

I'm an LAD artery pending

A widow maker made for leave-taking

I'm done for in mind, body, and spirit

My final curtain call in the making

A hair's breadth away from hate

near the minefield of I don't care

frozen prone o'er lists of wrongs

'tis a harpooned heart lying bare

Not far from judgements damned

past remorse cliffs steep and high

dying now 'pon rose petal thorns

goes a last dance waving bye-bye

At the mountain of absolute trust

silhouetted by foothills estranged

lives an ogre stabbed in the back

feeling only compassionless pain

Beyond rainforests spitting anger

through canyons with echo regret

stuck fast to a badland's torching

'twas that horrible beast's fate set

I don't know more than you

You don't know more than me

Not about pettiness

Truth and reality

I don't know all that much

You don't know any less

Equally in the dark

It's anybody's guess

I never knew a man I dug

For more than just a time or two

All men are monsters from the start

And proud as peacocks at the zoo

I never met a man I liked

For more than just a little while

All men are me first at the core

And fake as any crooked smile

I never met a man I loved

For more than just an instant flash

All men are hopeless through and through

And just like me wind up all smash

Perhaps I'll miss the sun the most

That yellow ball of burning gas

It cheered me up for many years

My go to star since kindy class

I'll also miss the moon and stars

Those lovely objects in the sky

They waned and twinkled constantly

My friends who never said goodbye

But most of all I'll miss the earth

The leafy mass of land and sea

It picked me up right to the end

My home and happy family

I've changed my stance

I want to live

I want to have

What good gods give

I've changed my ways

The time is nigh

To count upon

Kind gods on high

I've changed my tune

I want to stay 

I want to go

Where angels play

I've changed my mind

The deal's a lock

To suck for good

Hard godly cock

I'm writing myself one more, I suggest you do exactly the same

for what we do whilst we have breath doth epitomize the game

I'm fully composed, manifesting, quite good at creating inspired

in penning poetry I'm hoping, my work will be one day admired
