I’d love for you to interact with me on this. What happens if Americans figure out they don’t have to pay taxes? Not just to America. What happens across the world?

America, America! Where they sell the lie of Freedom! An empire in a state of collapse. You can see the errors of the ones We call the founders with reverence. Their stated mission was to build a country impervious to ruin. But founded one upon unmitigated greed electing only men like them to lead. Allowing…

We came over to Utopia But could not recognize it. A blissful land ‘o plenty Then thought we’d supersize it. ‘Manifest Destiny,’ We called it with no shame. We called the natives savages And then, their land, we claimed. We didn’t know we didn’t know And then assumed the right To push aside our fellow…

The tiniest word must be whispered. It mustn’t be uttered aloud. It leaves on the skin such a blister, I don’t think it’s even allowed! The tiniest word’s a confession. The powerful will not reveal, About what they’re doing to lessen The portion that’s yours in this deal. To hear it you must be prepared…

You’re not as prolific a poet as me Just look at my google docs Then you will see! There’s never been no one as noisy as me! <pretends to read aloud> I looked up your number, I just was in town I looked you up even though last time around A man had to comfort…

Faeries are little evil things Made of mischief, guilt and wings You’ll often find them visiting Courtiers and Kings. They love to whisper in their ears And change the world with a word. And that explains a lot of things Like why there are fewer birds.

You’re gonna catch the brain disease if you don’t fucking quit You think that I am kidding but it really is a fit. If we were all Ukrainian they might just give a shit. But they’re just paying donors back I’m now forced to admit.

The seas will surely rise and the towers will fall This thriving mass of people will be nothing at all And the whole of human knowledge like the empty bee hives Will be inconstruable to anything that survives. I once wrote proudly thinking my honeyed words Would be somewhat everlasting but that thought was absurd…

COVID keeps on killing kids and No one seems to care! “Send them to their destiny It’s better for them there.” All so Mom and Dad can work And function the machine So the people killing us can Add to wealth, obscene. And men who promised to protect Are instead counting cash From the very…

I use my words to paint the page What glory do they bring? What fancy of the multitude? What charm? What wit? What bling? What courage to the men that read? What magic in my bones? And should we poll the multitude? To see whose side they’re on? And what path will you choose, young…

I wish I was a Panda Bear (are pandas even bears?) I’d roll around the surfaces And dine on bamboo fare If anyone were apprehensive (seeing me in a room) I’m only kissing Mrs. P! And dusting out my broom!

Devious
There’s something about that smile How it brightens up my day (Always) Something, for a while, I’ve really meant to say: A secret that we keep—we know— We just don’t dare to say. The distance is so vast between But I can’t stay away. Innocent on its face But devious at heart Cannot help predicament…

I yearn to know as much as I can learn A gift, this age is, to a probing mind And one should learn the right things to discern Or else he’s flying blindly—He is blind. In order to expand you have to grow And grow your base of knowledge and of facts. Our brains are…

I went to visit Corporate Man Upon his private Corporate land I thought I’d help him understand We have so little time. “Not later, now, it must be done! You see,” I told him, “we are one. The Earth, the trees, the flowers, Sun. There’s no such thing as ‘mine’.” “Look outside there still are…
