Broad Terror

[In memory of 9/11]

A series of dire events . . .

Broad daylight
Turned dark
Nightmare shock
Impossible
Among the rubble
Heaps of bloodied flesh
Panic crash

Remembering the sorrow
Hope for tomorrow . . .

Overtures to Code Red

Quake I
Overwhelmed by faults
Crazed and puzzled for a while
Mother Nature shrugs.

Quake II
Earth shattering moves
Mother Nature turns over
Deadly consequence.

Royal Vexation

Princess Beulah blows her top when she learns her royal crush, Prince Roland, celebrated his birthday without inviting her. She unfriended him from her Facebook and dropped him from her Snapchat. Taking out her bejeweled diary, she writes:

He’s just another minion,
A bunion to excise,
An onion not worth crying over.

No longer my major attraction,
I shall speak to my father,
And ask him to make way in his dungeon.

Watch out, Rolly, old flame,
Soon your head will fall
And permanently adorn my wall.

Make My Monday

I’ll make my bed
I’ll make my breakfast
I’ll even make it out the door
But, make my Monday.

The first day of the week
Makes me feel weak
Thinking of it makes me ill
More so than paying a bill.

I’ll crawl back to bed
I’ll forget breakfast
I’ll lock the door.
Make my Monday.

NYC

New York City

Tasty big apple
Chomp, romp, stomp all day and night
A buffet of life

Times Square, the High Line,
Central Park, Harlem, Soho,
Destinations all

Each place is unique
Many adventures to plan
See which clicks with you.

Uncontrollable

Guerilla tactics
With the same dynamics,
Out of control,
They’re on a killing roll,
One after the other,
This is truly war.

They’re desperadoes
Showing they won’t be cowed,
Displaying their bravados
By ramming through a crowd
Of innocents,
Forcing their dissonance.

Time to shed the politics
Register both citizens and aliens
To identify ISIS and other lunatics.
Weed out the barbarians
To stop this downward spiral.
This is now a matter of survival.

[In reference to the Bastille Day truck massacre in southern France today.]

Faithless

Suicide bombing
A manipulated act
Brainwashed by cowards.

Nothing more but waste
A blight to humanity
They’re the true zombies.

Soulless, purposeless
Vessels for Satan’s bidding
Nothing more, nothing.

So Many Ways

Pardon my tardiness,
I wish you much happiness
O, dear Daddy.
So, please allow me to wish thee:

Happy Dude-Dad Day
Happy Doo-Da Day
Happy Pappy’s Day
Happy Father’s Day!
