Fake News

There are real kids being forced to transition.
But, the fact check websites say there isn't.
I listen to the Lawyers, first hand, who deal
With the cases. But, the News pretends it isn't happening.
Cities burn behind CNN reporters, but everything is okay.
I know individuals who believe in the rhetoric.
Yet, they brand it as "Tabloid" and "Fake News"
And then sue Alex Jones.

The Pulitzer Prize is Cheap. Any Contest You Have to Pay to Enter, is Flimsy and Unreputable. Just Like Any Publisher that You Pay to Publish or Look at Your Work.

Here I thought you had to be invited,
And nominated, and all the literature published 
Was considered based on recommendation.
Nope. It's just as scandalous as an All Poetry contest
Or something on WordPress.
Frankly, I really wanted a Pulitzer Prize
Because I thought the prize would find me.
Not beg me to be so prideful as to enter my work
For a fee.

Language Barrier

I hate this world,
Everything about it.
I speak the language
But none do understand.

It is like I speak a foreign tongue;
Metaphor, Simile, Symbolism,
Archetype, Portmanteau, Kenning,
Equity is injustice
God is not believed
The Supermen rule society
With their AIDs cures and Condoms and Day After Pills.

The Devil screams his melody,
Offers me the world
While admitting what he admitted
In his poesy;
His hand around my neck,
“Why don’t you squeeze?”

He does believe in God,
Despite his best efforts not to.
But, like the spook with the pentacle on his arm
He hates God, and wages his unholy war.
NO ONE IS HAPPY
NO ONE IS HAPPY
NO ONE IS HAPPY!!!!!
But you are.
But that is why I left you have the world;
For you and Gloria destroy it
Making your Theonomy,
Of Gay and Transgender
And the Church of England preaches that Jesus was just a man.

And I leave you this, my song—
Squeeze a little harder,
And you’ll choke the life out of me
And have what you wanted all along.
I will not be your scapegoat.



Territory

The thing that makes humanity a frightening species
And will inevitably be our downfall,
Is that we are very territorial.

I watch my Red Tail shark chase away
The Neon Tetra, and it doesn't allow her to eat.
I then see a lawyer try to sue an AI
Company for transforming different images
Into newer images,
I then think that most of what I wrote
Is probably on The Library of Babel
Somewhere. And that doesn't concern me.
However, Lawyers, with their keen sense of property,
Are seething to outlaw speech.
Russia is invading Ukraine, 
For former allegiances,
And China is threatening Taiwan 
For the same thing.

What's obvious, is that the truth
Is shared across all cultures
But our modern age tries to copyright
Archetypes. The various words
And idiosyncrasies associated
With my writing is mine.
But, if someone wishes to borrow a story I told
Or a plot, or a theme, it's not mine.
It's everyone's.

But, humans are incredibly territorial
Just like the Red Tailed shark,
And I feel that's the concerning part about us
In an age with Nuclear Weapons
And Bio Weapons and Chemical Weapons...
It's that territorial bent on humans,
Trying to claim property that isn't theirs,
While trying to hold onto property that isn't theirs,
And gathering all the resources for themselves...
I do say for those interested in the Sabbath
It was meant to curb these instincts.

Calculus in Tanka

A limit can be 
Calculated, true; but the 
Calculations can 
Never approach the limit---
It's where infinities touch.

A sine function works
On the logic of Pi. So,
The sine function will
Work off approximations
Of circles' geometry.

Zeno's Paradox
Is calculus. The leaps are
The calculations
While the limit is the place
Where man and reptile meet.

Equity

A talk reveals the doublethink.
Equity is inequity.
Justice is injustice.
Sense 2 of the word
Means sense 1 of the word.

Reparations become equity---
Sandra Harding, like a gremlin,
Coins Critical Race Theory,
A no good Modern Feminist
Wishing to emasculate Freedom
And eat the oysters raw.

Feminists in Dubai,
Feminists in Bangladesh,
Feminists in Kairo,
I don't talk about you---
Fight bloody and win.
But, a woman emancipated with the rights
To vote, to be president, to run corporations,
To be engineers, to be software developers---
The very first as I'm told;
As well as NASA Consultants who brought us to the moon---
What you want is not equity.
It is the very opposite of the word.
What you want is just to turn the world on its head
And make everyone suffer,

Gateway 2000

In 1997, my computer had 16 Megabytes of ram.
It had three point five gigabytes of hard drive space.
And a 200 Mega Hertz Processor.

The computer I'm using today---
Windows 8, from 2013,
In 2023;
Mind you it was top of the line for its day---
Has a missing key that flung off
When my dad threw a piece of paper in a tantrum.
The keyboard also doesn't work---
I'm typing on my fourth keyboard
And it's a wireless with a mouse and keyboard combo---
I use Bluetooth frequently to listen to Pandora.
My computer has 8 Gigabytes of Ram
2.4 Gigahertz of Processor speed
And a modest Terabyte of Hard Drive Space.

Scientology

To be honest,
I come upon the least literary topic
I have ever taken up.

One thing mystifies me,
But also arouses a passionate disinterest---
It falls in line with the cult of personality
Associated with Kardashians and Kanye---

Why do I even know about Scientology?
A cursory thought, 
One I have given very little to,
Having more important things to think about,
Is it curious that rich people
Wish to save themselves with their gold and silver?
It seems to be the most obvious point,
Is that the rich have a strong desire
To save themselves with their money;
And the perfect cult to trap them
Is the one which tells them their money
Directly saves them.

Yet, everyone talks about how abusive it is---
Obviously because they like to trash religion---
Obviously everyone compares it to Christianity,
Which is like comparing hypodermic AIDs needles with bread,
And I fully understood it the moment I heard of it.
The thing that interests me,
Is how interested you are in it.
It is simply a scheme of yours
To find fault with all gods,
And you are so transparent for it being the case.

Why Tom Cruise and Will Smith
Become adherents to it
Is the obvious foible of wanting their riches to save them.
And a man, spinning a yarn about aliens---which do not exist---
Gets these Hollywood Celebrities to spend bookoo bucks
To have their sins forgiven;
Which the Catholics once tried,
But was swiftly chastised with the Protestant Reformation.

Papias, by your calculation,
There will be twenty-five sextillion
Souls saved, and each soul
Shall save ten-thousand,
Until the last ten-thousand ten-thousand
Grapes bear their twenty five baths of blood.
Interestingly, you're not out of the ballpark
Of what scripture said would be saved---
That is one human being for every grain
Of sand off of the coasts of all the world's beaches.
That number, respectively,
Is 7.5 sextillion---
Even to hypothesize sextillions
At 90ad, is miraculous enough.
