Unexpected news can have your nose running.
Dawn of Lighten Feb 2017
Dimension beginning of vile ****** exposed,
And the Emperor has no clothes,
While helplessly strut a mighty walk without a shame.

Course of history repeating itself,
Like the flow of water meeting in the river of streams,
But recycle through the clouds and back to the ground it flows.

Are we so blinded by the glimmer of the mirage of oasis in the desert,
We toast with sands of dune to quench our thirst of our plight,
And all is but a fickling light ducktaped by words of unintelligible muddled murmur?

This is truly the flawed design of our time,
When we no longer promote arts and crafts of philosophies,
And religious cults of zealots condemned the science and Academia by berating it's achievement.

Likes of ancient times of Agora and the height of it's human enlightenment,
There are forces of deconstruction of society of choas ensued by hateful fear mongers,
And systematic inward of national fevor of berserkers leveling progress.

Maybe another dark age is inevitable,
But little seed of hope I feel tangible,
And sometimes event maybe a phoenix.
Religion is all sense of purpose is a illumination of hope in human plights,
But those who seek absolute power by controlling devotees, then it is no longer a religions but a cult of designed by vanity.
The Trumpoet Feb 2017
Snowflake is a word that the trumpists will use
to describe those of us who have different views.
They say we're entitled, they say that we whine,
they say give Trump a chance and we'll all be just fine.

They claim that we snowflakes are spreading fake news,
and cannot accept, when a battle we lose.
They say snowflakes get angry each time we don't win.
They claim we have tantrums and very thin skin.

Let them call us all snowflakes, and reason will show
that the number one snowflake... is someone we know!

Morning abate
with hazelnut
spread on
toast that
surmount any
surprise with
lather that
only minutes
elongated tweezers
frequent inside
strand that
abet her
with hazing
particles for
extremes package
soon upon
her face
Mio Seanachaidh Feb 2017
Inside, I am an outside observer to the world
A silent witness to time's events
Outside, I vent out my vast emotions in form of prose, rhythm, and rhyme
News according to a poet
Scott Hamsun Jan 2017
Hate speech,
Exists to teach,
That to disagree is to hate,
But with no constitutional breach,
It can silence free speech and debate.

If you don't like me I apologize,
But that does not mean I'm unwise,
It does not mean I hate you,
But I will not stop just to give you wide eyes,
Hate speech just isn't true.
Maura Jan 2017
when you tell me what happened
my body fills with ice
the whole world freezes
dust falls like snow around the room swirling in slow motion
other people seem warm and happy indulging in an ignorant bliss
but the same room feels bitter cold
the ice cracks and my voice breaks
my eyes fills with hot tears
streaming down my face to melt my frozen mouth
the dam breaks as I gasp for air and begin to cry
I blink a few times and hang up the phone
the room suddenly feels too hot
and I begin to feel dizzy as time rapidly picks up
there's speculation mounting
about the whereabouts of the queen
as it's been over a fortnight
since she was last publicly seen

the authoritative video channel
YouTube did say
that the regent had gone on
her heavenly paved way

Brits aren't too sure
as to her current health's category
but the BBC news reports
did broadcast a heavy cold story

if she presents at the changing of the guard
in the forecourt of Buck House
the world will know that
her well being is verily grouse

members of the royal family
are keeping mum at this juncture of time
in case Charles is called up
to be the realm's king of pantomime
Waves of hysteria
crash against my screen
before I flush them
away
with eye drops of
wrath
and a brick with your
name on it
