Here in Frustration
we got serious complications..

Rolling totally self sustaining
and immune to solutions..

Of course there's no such restrictions
on those who live to whine..

So to appease the complaint department
those in charge create the illusion of action
with numerous half ass programs being applied
to the blips now so deeply ingrained
in our soul less machine
any realistic chance of a fix
would be like slapping an infected band aid
on this oozing pus filled wound
we let fester too long

My Harbor Girl with attitude
has been a immigrant #emblem
and a beacon
for freedom seeking pilgrims
who made our country great

Today she is in hiding
lest she be detained
and deported back
to the French domain
from whence she came

near-empty club
the troubadour's
tearful ballads

Buzzards Bay
the search of buried treasure
lost at sea
#inkMine

The dull man
of limited wit,
non existent intelligence,
and questionable morals
brims with self confidence
misguided as it may be

This master of projection
has used these talents
for maximum achievement
in our world which values
attitude over substance

When the bombs start to fall
and Chaos reigns supreme
don't fall in with the Panic team

Take a deep breathe

Keep your wits

Weigh all options

Construct an action plan
and execute it as best you can

The mission
of the Vulture Media Corp
is to find that wow moment
when the perfect turmoil
gets captured in their lens
and globally transmitted
for the greater fame and glory
of the accomplice messenger

Be forewarned
and duly advised

GOP Jesus don't play

No blessed be the poor
bleeding heart socialism bs

Here we don't tolerate victims
without cost/benefit analysis

And don't even try
and slip by with DEI

Go curl up and die
and decrease the surplus population
for we pseudo Christians

was it a forewarning

After I depart
from this domain
please honor me
by deleting me
from your memory

Shred all the words
I have put forth
during my tenure

Burn my earthly possessions

Sprinkle the ashes
of the past into the wind

Treat me like a ghost
that never existed

So it goes for me and you

Out with the old

In with the new

today's headline
Congress's
vow of silence
#inkMine

Where are we going after we’re gone?

Lost is the feeling that once burned strong

Can’t seem to recall how we got here

What will happen when we disappear?

Time is a wasting on our little game

Like a candle running out of flame

Players performing without a stage

Scraps of memory on a faded page

Don't let go of life's possibilities

Regret is a ponderous load to carry

#inkmine #poetry #poem #amwriting

Take your main problem
and break it down
to it's core components

The solution to this mess
rests in your hands
if you have the courage
to face the truth
staring you in the face

But first one question

Why are you holding
that sledgehammer
over my head?

#poetry #poem #inkmine

Marriage vows

Real life fairy tales
played out daily
all over the world

Such a pretty litany
of lovely promises

Rose petals
paving the way
to eternity

We all know the reality

Statistical history
that measures
prior nuptial disasters
will fully quantify
the wreckage
of happily ever afters

In spite of the odds
we dreamers line up anyway
to take that leap of faith
chanting the ancient liturgy
hopeful that our words
do not fly off
like a mockingbird

The angry snail

Such a mad mollusk is he

Hates his pace
and his
drag of a life

Never gets anyplace
fast enough
to satisfy
his impatient mood

Always running late
for snail appointments

Dreams of strong legs
that create great speed
and easy mobility

Meanwhile
back on planet Earth

Tis never wise to despise
the gift nature made

Cause in the end
we all gotta
play the hand
life deals us
