PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

let's cut to the slim and slam the slang

I went into this with a roar and I'll back out with

a bang

after all, to pen and prod an old popular saying

The opera wasn't over until the fat lady sang

my very own voice in my ears Just now resoundingly

rang

what fun is there in trouble anymore

when for it, you no longer hang

let's set our sights in sync and not forget for

every yen there's a yang

when superman put on his glasses he was once again

only Clarke Kent

when Hamlet said, "to be or not to be " that first

time I read it I wasn't exactly sure then what

he'd meant

you'll have to pardon my common sense for its

rude vanishing act

but its disappearance was just another way to ensure

that my hart remain unharmed and intact

of the surrounding immediate pleasures in life I must

be quite unaware and asleep

even the shallowest of my many emotions are thick,

dark, desperate and deep

the only side I readily admit to being on is that of the truly perverse

give heed to my many warnings

things rarely get better but often get worse

leave me now with only myself and my mental images

hotter and harsher than Satan's own cesspool

there's no greater farce than the faculty and fate of

a fool

words fall so sweetly from the lips of the careless

and cruel

and yet words are indeed God's greatest gift to

man

(next to faith)

his greatest tool!........................
