Short Stoning Poems

rocky wind blows
stoning my heart
boulders crush
our love...

Here-

this day's last light clouds gray
to run-round and un-green in star-chaining

in pebble hush
and fish stoning

in leaf murmur
and trembling wing tuck

in cool frightful burrows
and tears that fall

in the unsuspecting night

Pedaling along 
     a rocky road, 
     a dusty road, 
     a hot and sunny road.
Pedaling past 
     dry, rocky fields, 
     dry, dusty fields, 
     hot and sunny fields.
Surprised to see 
     a lily flower,
     a lonely flower,
     a kid stoning it.
Pedaling back 
     The setting sun lay low across the field.
     Boy, flower and memory are long gone....

Leaves fall, 
and soon will
My death. 

Without a 
Calamity. 

Rocks thrown
by the prostitute
In my own stoning. 

But I'm not worried. 

My heartbeat continues, 
Until I'm done
Helping with the 
Paraplegic that 
Was abused. 

In that public
school I pretended
I knew Christ. 

And like any liberal
I believe in the mission
Without consequence
And with the flowers
of forgiveness....

After the stoned and stoning age
The iron axe head fell
Steam fizzled out
Electricity waved hello
TV leeched onto something in our psyche
Space seemed a chore
Nuclear scared us to our irradiated core
PC took over
AI looking over its morality shoulder
Now this age of unseen smiles
government counting death by percentages
sorry not to put at ease
maybe its the end of these...

To say what you want Donald Trump
when the News thinks their stoning is just.
Makes me think there is freedom of speech.
That it's slim what you'll say and you must.

There's a day that all speech will be hate
if the News has it's say on the air.
For it's ratings decide on their take
as the viewers watch on and don't care.

Honest Abe will go on in his chair
as the mud will go slinging as far.
When our words will mean nothing but script
and his chair will be kicked out to mar....
