Best Exploitative Poems

A gallant man of thousand fists
Spirited brave man of Amadioha’s clan
Conversational colonel of the battalion empire
Emperor manned through the honeyed knight
The dialogue of the drums speaks of your strength and might
Cupping the fingers content of Biafra land in height and weight
Your words kill without sword...

On-Sight
There aren't many who see me-
Those few view me in the 
             Words they say
"speak" me when they 
             Glance away
Their...

Watching the extinction
of the paleo
as the death
calls
them
to the crank lab or product
or the prison and psych-ward.

Those that are still here
await Jeff Foxworthy
for exploitative representation
finding
Dale on the the King of the Hill
solace.

Saint Valentine, supposed,
ushering forth with love;
your tender anniversary with a whip.

A chocolate kiss, with calloused hands,
assembled;
vacant, listless eyes without;
...neither seeing nor feeling love.

Every drop of corn syrup, unfed,
corpulent and fetished;
whose essence lingers 'pon the lips.

Every drop of ebony perfum, 'pon breath;
staining the love of virtue...

Whinging utterly pointless, act
To change the perception you project
Cursing utterly uncouth, exercise tact with the contact
Whom you desire to reject with the respect 

They least expect even when they suspect
Their exploitative tendencies piss
You off big time as you ought to protect
The best asset you own...

Translation of Eric Mottram’s “Fortieth Legal” by T. Wignesan

(From: The Legal Poems. Colne: Pub. by Robert Bank at the Arrowspire Press, 1985, 39p.
Here’s an extract from the blurb by Allen Fisher, dated December 1985:

“They record a cultural malaise where unjust, intolerant and exploitative power confronts...

Intentions and innermost desires from minds sparkle in your eyes
Surface simulations and aberrations fly off sugar-coated tongues
Where cavalcades of pesky pies and their ties to lies
Assail love clung, flung, hung, slung, strung, stung in beakers with bungs

So tight room to maneuver shrinks
In the wake of...

Vexation at self - regarding avoidable altercation...

Today May 12th, 2021
at Royersford (Pennsylvania) LIDL,
when spouse stepped into checkout line
(minus her horse drawn grocery cart -
pushed courtesy yours truly).

While passively standing stock still
I (think Stonewall Jackson)
let scenario unfold before
mine myopic eyes,
whereby acquiescing
nonverbally attempting to scooch
closer to conveyor...

We first met when I was young.
Curious, expectant, open-minded
We explored each other freely,
Communing face to face
Sharing everything
Seeking each other's company, together
Under the open sky.

Middle aged we met again.
Striving, over-reaching, exploitative
We looked to our own advantage.
Stormy clouds gathering
On the horizon,
Presaging dangerous times ahead of us
Under the...

how does it feel to have been a 
believer?  
after all, you voted for mr. hope &
change, after rallying behind him,
after believing that he would be
different than all the others, after
seeing his wondrous smile, after
getting butterflies in your stomach
when he came near, when you...

The rising evil endeavouring to engulf the beautiful realm,
The demon of the disease seems like, humanity it will overwhelm.
The pall of gloom spreading across the domains,
Compelling the world into deadly contrived chains.
The exploited Mother Nature is on a revengeful rampage,
Notifying the obdurate mortal,  that...
