Never Insane Enough

It's never insane enough

we need more phones

we need more drones

cuz it's never insane enough.

It's never insane enough

we need more dopes 

and a lot less hope

cuz it's never insane enough.

In Profit We Trust 

(haiku)

It rules the whole world.

A force to be reckoned with.

It's name is Fascism.

*

It fools everyone.

It looks like our only hope.

It rewards a few.

*

It slides like a snake.
It devours like a disease.

It shows no mercy.

*

Mussolini's dream.

A corporate government

where profit is god.

Misc. Haiku

I think I matter

if mattering is something

that really matters.

*

These are lying times.

Lies have become the ticket

to all locations.

*

If you lie to me
I will in turn lie to you.
Soon there is no truth.

*

If we're progressing
and you hinder this progress,
you are the problem.

*

Better them than me

is all a person can say

in this brave new world.

Simple Arithmetic 

(haiku)

One bad apple cop

shoots the guy seventeen times

then walks away free.

Six other cops watch,

do absolutely nothing

and make no arrests.

Okay, how many bad apple cops do we have?

What God Probably Thinks 

(haiku)

It's hard to express 

how thoroughly disgusted 

I am with this world.

So much potential,

so much opportunity

just wasted away.

In my name I think

they will destroy everything

I love and cherish.

16 Credits

Some people say you gotta get an education

You ain't going nowhere if you don't got one

You study all night and sit in class all day

Then you come up short when it's time to pay

You pass all the classes and what do you get

Another day older and a deeper in debt

Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

I owe my soul to the college loan store

College these days reminds me of Tennessee Ernie Ford's 16 Tons

  Bad Habits Look Alike  

(haiku)

I gave up smoking

for a number of reasons

but mostly because

I worried too much

about running out of smokes

or forgetting them.

Much like it must be

if you're hooked to a smart phone

you can not forget.

Always on your mind
like a monkey on your back
never letting go.
