Daily News

The news you’re gonna see
when you view the evening T.V.,
The news you’re gonna read
in the only rag in this town,
is spoon fed pablum for the masses.
And if you don’t choke while it’s going down
you deserve to sit there on your ass,
you deserve what you’ve been passed
as reality by the rich and powerful
who refuse to see
the dirt in the cracks
of their steel and glass
monuments to futility.

The news,
it’s about them
and all the good they do,
it’s about us
and all the bad we do,
and this is backwards,
and this is Daily news.

Some who see it think in fear, pick up the penny, you’re a queer. “Queer penny,” they laugh out loud, and behind your back. I think it’s more queer to leave the money lying there like…

  • I Never Told You

    I sensed you were near but I could not see you, I could not hear you, the warmth of your hug did not stir my soul, your insight into the human condition did not engage me – that day. Still, something, perhaps an undeveloped sixth sense, a probe into the twilight of my existence, something……

  • Sobering

    What can be more sobering than watching a drunk in action, with eyes that won’t open more than half-way, ready to kick some ass in a fight that can’t be won, scheming for a sympathetic ear while being schemed for later pleasures by so-called friends, and, finally, in spite of any sense of rationality, in…

  • Old Is New

    Chocolate mescaline Alice in Wonderland, the old is the new and surrounds me with you. In case you weren’t listening; maybe my words melted in your mind, maybe from your world you didn’t see my eyes begging for a single moment of time. I want to take your youth, I want to steal you away…
