Premium Member Satire in Limerick Acts

Act One: the stage and scenery are set
I was told the play, I'd not soon forget
But if truth were to be told
More like the game, whack-a-mole
I needed a hammer, not a lorgnette

Thespians were vying for the limelight
Popping up everywhere, ready to fight
Sarcastic words ill spoken
The...

Blacklisted
The poet Marshall Mathers
whilst "Cleaning Out My Closet"
blasted with inquiry-

"Have you ever been hated on or discriminated against?
I have...''

Interesting enough
in these crooked times
it is impossible to make a man like you,
or your art,  
especially with unbounding determination.

Nevertheless,
It sure is mighty easy to attain their...

The Great Ordeal
the marked must go quietly in the night
without a word of farewell
through the trembled dust
down the dark road from which they say
no one returns

the gods who made Africa
strike fear upon the living
comfortless
vituperative
rampaging through our lands:
freedom is a hoax

we abandon ourselves
to the crudely dug dungeon
the pit...

Elites Who Are Not Elite
We see them sitting in towers
carved from ‘learned’ ivory,
insulated by their tenure
from the world of reality,
poisoning their students minds,
putting bad ideas in their heads,
the kind that in a century
left one hundred million souls dead.
They know they face no consequence,
they even blacklist all others,
it’s the students...

To the Pe Teacher
I'm over it
I'm giving up
I don't have to do it
Yet you force me to like I'm a chump
I avoid it like an illness
You let it go
But today is the day
You took it no more
You didn't yell
Yet you exchanged insults
You hurt my feelings
That was the result
You...

The Snake
THE SNAKE
The terror of  night;  the  terror of  day,
The longest creature on earth and sea. 
In length, I am fearful  to men, In  braveness, man worship me;
I have no hands non legs, yet I move faster than others.
In the...

One Man Army of the Appocalypse
2 million suicidal babies
the munchonsen of psychiatry
just pushed me over the edge
what do we say when we cross the border?
we're going to disneyland
what are we going to do when we get there
inform as many innocents what is about to happen

going to the only country
who has...

Wrestling With Impasse To Contentment
Wrestling with impasse to contentment

Dispense sing with fidelity blithely agog
just me and mine dark shadow 
slinking along the edge of night doth blog
passivity, the path of least resistance ohm my dog,
shocking voltage surges an emphatic YES, 
verboten fruit adrip with succulent juices as eggnog,

Premium Member Modesty
Modesty where has it gone
Does it no longer exist
Are there no boundaries now
Is morality on the blacklist?

Everything on display 
For all the world to see
Oh ,how times have changed
In the world of modesty

Young girls in early teens
Dressed so scantily 
Unaware of the effect
Of the message...

Sliders of Candahar
the 400 undercover cops
that have been trained to solve your drug problem
that you don't recognise creeping across your land
gaining information and proof
the cult of cartoons to mark you for what you are

1st things first
your precinct will be informed they are under citizens arrest
quite frankly the...

The Wonderer
In this land I have the will to stand free
Once lying to faith of that of wretched kings and wench queens
Walking the earth against the hot blistering winds
Life has always tried to take my breath and damage my sight
But still I live
I’ve experienced the abomination...

Meditations
This funny thing we come to know as life,
Both a blessing & a curse in darkness & in light.

Old men sending youngins to fight.
How hard does the goathead bite?

Is it truly out of mind when done out of sight?
The unseen shadows see what is not...

Richman Shenanigans
How is it my fault that I took a leap of faith 
Like any naive girl in townships looking for good life
I mixed with wrong people who promised me soft life in Dubai 
Excitement journeyed my mind to things I can buy
Little did I know...

Sonnet No 9
Oh demonic inner anguish! How can you persist,
Like a never ending torture in my childish mind?
Will you never let me go and leave my name behind?
»No! « Said the Deceiver: »And I must my case insist! «

Please! At least remove all happy days that still...

Wicked Winds
Eye of the tiger among forest mist
Is it evolution or is it God made this beast exist
Or jaguar with that has a bite force caiman’s armor cannot resist
Or hornet with its demonic speed often seen on apiarist’s blacklist

Blake would call it fierce symmetry
I call it...
