Loveless Souls

Another Phony Scene In The In-Between

Baby Boomer Brats Living Like Fat Cats

Spewing Orders Like The Breeze

Throwing Shade Like Oak Leaves.

Egos Rage Like Fighter Planes

With Blasting Words That Spell Insane.

Loving Thoughts Don’t Have A Name

It’s All The Same In A Sea Of Pain.

Unity Has No Place To Go

In That Mental Glow.

Anger Starts To Tug Reality Shows Its Mug.

Trusting Assholes Is A Mighty Role

In The Arms Of Loveless Souls.

Snaky Pen

Think Twice Naughty And Nice

Life Can Pay An Exorbitant Price.

What’s In A Word

When The Message Is Absurd?

Grab That Meat Light On Your Feet.

Round The Bend. It’s You Again.

Tone Down Those Pipes

Move Away From Fright.

All Things Mend

Are Words That Spend.

In A Snaky Pen.

In Wailing Sand

Mother Of Bloody Victory—

Another Deadly Sickory!

Picky Perceptions Dress In Deceptions

While

Tainted Beliefs Smile In Their Grief—

Nothing There But Misery Dressed In Heritage Beef.

Religion Race Swims At That Ancient Pace

Looking For Grace.

Schisms Abound. Cardinal’s Drown

Like Mice In A Cheese Brawl

At A Hungry Cat Crawl.

Christ Had A Plan—

“Get Along Brothers

Sameness Shows When Hearts Glow.”

But Dicks Still Sing And Swing

Kicking Tires

Dressed In Scary Bling.

Yo, Strike Up The Forgiving Band.

Minds Do An Angel Call

When Humans Dig

In Wailing Sand

With AK47s, Man.

Fried Fly

Fried Fly Lets Out A Cry

Swat And Burn Takes Its Turn.

It’s A Lonely Mission Faking Contrition.

Skip And Slide Pride—

Take Thoughts For A Ride.

Bounce Then Brace Nerves Say Grace.

Fire Has A Yearn

In The Eyes Of Excited Worms —

With Strange Concerns.

Too Close To The Falling Sun?

Move Those Buns—

Thy Will Can’t Be Done

In A Mess

Filled With Guns.

Basking In New Year Fun.

Vibrational Zone

Infinity Went For A Ride

The Clock Said

Take Me As Your Bride.

No Need For Names

When Love Captures Center Stage.

Call It A New Year’s Eve Trip

Minds Know How To Flip

On And Off In An Energy Toss.

So, Forget The Groans.

Next Stop’s Well Known

By Another Tone.

In A New Calendar

Vibrational Zone.

Happy New Year!

“Tale Of Ho-Ho-Ho”

Hop Off That Weight Train. Plenty To Gain—

Touch Your Inner Eating Porch

No Need To Take A Course.

Never Despair

When Food Seems To Grow Spiritual Hair.

Get On That Seasonal Munching Shelf.

Like A Dancing Santa Elf.

Take It Step By Step

In The World’s Best Chocolate Mess.

Cause Excited Cells Feel Like A Well

That Flow With Sass

And Santa’s Stash.

You Never Know Where Christmas Glows.

In Giving Bells Or Broken Shells

So Sit On That Chair Of Smarts.

Without Brain Farts.

Cause Memories Bake Soft And Sweet

Ready For That Holiday Treat.

Call It A Tale Of Ho-Ho-Ho!

On The Go-Go-Go!

Thanksgiving Blinds

Belief Bar -

Pick A Perception From Your Mental Jar.

Holiday Choices Engage Feelings On Parade.

Thoughts Seem Kind Of Crusty On A Pensive Blade.

Like Old Sandwich Spread With Garbage Dreads

Yeah, Old Blue Cheese Dip Got The Funk

So Dunning Pickle Chips Dripped

Like Political Lumps.

Half Pint Of Trife Has Seeds Of Spice.

No Wonder— Mustard Squeeze

Let Off A Raspberry Breeze.

While—

White Mayo On Burnt Toasted Rye

Thought It Dry.

Until A Glass Of Jack

Started Sniffing For A Throwback.

Constant Battle To Walk The Judgment Line

When Your True Self Lurks

Behind The Tattered

Thanksgiving Blinds.
