soft and spoiled
devices well-oiled
spoonfed babble
in protests, they dabble
convictions untested
by reality bested
today’s mudslingers ~
tomorrow’s right-wingers
Paul Hogan now..A battler thats true' tall tails and long days,
The crocks could tell you.. Also' painter on the bridge
Over Sydney town, tested and tried.' Yet still not bested.' The taxman wanted to make him
Pay up' yet in the end?? Houges; just shot 'em down.'!
I bought the world.
Can you see where the merchant likes to sit?
I wanted to buy, that strange thing that pearled.
I offered my heart
but it wasn't enough.
So, I offered my spirit,
for they should never be apart.
But he would not trade for it.
The shady merchant offered me riches in gold.
envy of people, a life that was bold.
"Please look away!"
he said as my gaze fixed on the globe.
but I decided to say
despite the questions he would probe.
I could see deep into the ocean's waves
and smile at the creatures she saves.
the lives that flutter and pass us by
the wings that soar and touch the sky!
I wanted it to be mine!
I offered my breath
I offered my Time
I offered my death!
"Give me a name."
the Merchant requested.
"I have always been the same.
But I want to be something new.
I want to be you."
that is when I knew.
I had been bested.
My name is yours to hold alone.
and then, my words turned to stone.
I traded and won.
now before my life is done
remember the place where oceans waves curled?
In that place and when I was young, I bought the world.
To the treasury note i lost with
I was without exotic notes
Taught in hardened testaments for quote
And speak of troubles i would have
Save the bested efforts tilled by young
Haddingstone and young it was
Countered verse lustra’s bugs
From grand ire back long to nepal
She granted means
Leaving no measures
Destroyer of rain
Remover of wash
Sleeping sees
Ossian’s loss
burried and cured in sod's wallowing gallow
ground as tender flower of wonder
reading worlds into the hands
mired in swallows and clawed
she began trunks of brooches
for her second son
to flee the falling failing rakes
bested in deserts earthen ovens
rebuilding the gingers shant, easily
carnate fury, easters menage
blurry tests to bleak to smear
exposed to a heartless ember of septs
reticent snakes frail and drunk
back to the chest my second sons hum.......
county claire, connaught, easter risings
sub test
bested friscans, outed
not a vow about it
sheens and dreams
cameroon once held blooms in truth
never hid out in bosnia long enough
with opened hands
looking be kind at him
israelly waters eyes so himilayan
an trapped
too wrapped in his daughters heyday's
brazillia soo wild and repressed
from americaint pick up the bodies
melted frets in my brush
strokes forgetting
english frustraiting the curved bowties
He threw at her the black of night
And then the fire of day
Roared as of a hurricane
With avalanching speed
She crackled as a lightning bolt
Within a thunderstorm
And then unleashed – in torrents
The cyclones of her wrath –
With violence they wrestled long
And raged the heaving seas
Hurled the stone of Sisyphus
At Scylla and Charybdis
And in the tempest, tooth and blood
Together bested love –
Knew the truth you were anxious to cover,
your dastardly lurking’s not lost on me;
Trying to hide from my x-ray vision,
it’s such a pity how you wrote me off;
Your dastardly lurking’s not lost on me,
stop these attempts to become a shadow;
I play the game so much better than you;
Trying to hide from my x-ray vision,
you cannot dim my light I’m here to foil;
False flow is bested with a fireball;
It’s such a pity how you wrote me off,
my skills could have prevented a downfall;
I lay waste to all your rapacious lies.
Sue’s nine-year-old husky Blue wanted to drive
she laughed and said “not while I’m alive!”
The next time I saw them, he was in her lap.
Driving her Caddy; she said “I am such a sap!”
Her children have all bested her in many ways too.
A really weak sister is my neighbor Sue.
Just as sleep bested my eyes -
There came a looming presence -
Strange and full of mysteries -
That alit upon my rest.
There wasn't a familiar word
Sufficient for such trespass
So silence was the measure
For my unexpected guest.
Time was also dissolved;
Every thought - every breath
Was confounded by a love
I scarcely struggled against
But the hour was growing late
So He flew off to find a heart
More predisposed and awake
And gave me over to the dark.
I've been schooled to be fooled,
As if taught by a court jester at last.
I've been drooled, to be ruled
By a goddess, yet that worship went all too fast.
I've been bested by those more rested,
As my resolve has waned and grown weak.
I've been messed with and thoroughly tested,
By a regal vision and all the mystique.
And yet I've been directed, then corrected,
Down a path of faith and belief.
Where I've been expected, if not suspected,
Of failing the course and any relief.
words float through the air
one dive bombs me like a kamikaze pilot
I grab for it, but miss
it chuckles uncontrollably
the word was laugh
I roll my eyes
then hear buzzing in my ear
mosquito! Dang!
I smack at it
it zooms away, out of my reach
I see it was the word bother
laugh and bother
bother and laugh
what can I do with this?
don’t comes by and bites my shoulder
don’t bother to laugh I say
Then I do laugh
Because the words have bested me yet again
In darkness thus shadow’d with a keyring flashlight.
It’s green; it’s gray.
It takes away the misstep of hollowness.
The bed, a boat.
The waves of massive shadows in caves.
They growl and groan after midnight.
Bested by the harrowing shadows, no hero.
When grief came, fear fled.
The boat knew the rapids.
Each day awoke with the beginning of death.
Waters receded, white walls depleted, paintings
falling from the artist’s paws, with no applause.
Plausible? Unthinkable? Sinkable?
We choose which meander to follow.
The flashlight, a green beginning of a new life.
Of doubt? Of faith? Of fear? Of falling?
Falling out of the boat into the shadows.
If I dream I recover; cover my feet.
My eyes see more than wrong and right.
They see God. I’ll be alright.
oh my oh me
my fight with a bee
I was twelve and naïve
bee’s name was Jeeve.
stepped on him barefoot
instant pain as he stayed put
drilling into my heel
I was his angry meal
yes, Jeeve won that day
to that meadow I stay away
and wear shoes on my feet
learned a lesson sweet
did not know it was a bee at first
hurt like the devil, only much worst
Jeeve, I hope you suffered too
for that day you made me truly blue
