the land that i miss

(tanka)

what ever happened

to the land i grew up in?

a land where hero's

actually walked among us

but denied they ever were

-

a land where famous

was the result of good deeds

instead of how much

money you got from daddy

for just staying out of his hair

-

a land where we helped

those who needed it the most

and by doing so,

no matter how much it cost

made us the light of the world

game day stupidity

(tanka)

it's getting so old

watching the players acting

like they cured cancer

after every stupid play

whether they're winning or not

-

it makes me wonder

what is their real objective

are they there to win

or are they auditioning

for some reality show

like autumn leaves

(tanka)

my words are like sighs

that have little hope to share

cuz i never thought

the values of our nation

would just up and disappear

-

like dry autumn leaves

they have died and blown away

leaving bare branches

that should survive the winter

but promise no more than that

the beer testimony

(haiku)

it's just good to know

a man who loves to drink beer

sits on the high court

making decisions

that'll affect us for decades

under a beer buzz

-

his kind of anger
should make any woman fear
sexual assault

-

if prosperity
is the fruit of all your lies
you will always lie

blogging in the usa

(haiku)

it's all so fleeting

one day something goes viral

the next day nothing

of course i define

viral as anything more

than seven pageviews

then out of the blue

i'll get a hundred or more

which really freaks me

so just imagine

how freaked i was when i got

over a thousand

-

what does it all mean

i find myself wondering

as i post one more

it's just a feeling but,

(haiku)

i strongly suspect

we are all suffering from

mass insanity

and no one knows it,

doctors don't even know it

cuz they're insane too

-

like this old story,

everything doubled in size

while everyone slept

measuring tools too

so no one ever finds out

they are twice as big

it can't happen here but,

(haiku)

it's happening here

and i'm literally obsessed

with it's progression

everyday i write

these stupid observations

centered around him

and i feel so stuck

in the proverbial mud

and i can't get out

-

i should feel lucky,
l'm witnessing history
but i just feel sad
