has a way Always catching up To you embrace your fate that is what’s up at the end of the day Endless dancing away The Oyster Speaks Up A diner sits down looking forward to eating oysters it was their season after all just as he was about to pounce on the oysters the head oyster spoke up saying hey human what the hell do you think you are doing you think you have the right to eat me? that’s violating my human right don’t ya think the diner laughed said to the oyster shut up and accept it is your fate to be eaten this date just let me enjoy eating you and you have no human rights as you are in fact not human don’t ya know eating the complaining oyster shutting him up as he ate him up We Did Not Take Action to Start a War (not for publication) it is a sad day in the world of ours the the leader of the U.S. is turning into a gangster leader threatening massive destruction on Iran and other countries including destroying cultural sites not too long ago such actions was condemned by the United States as long as ISIS and others did it but if Trump does it it is suddenly okay although it is a war crime and telegraphing our moves telling our enemies what we are planing that is the act of a truly stable genius who will go down in history as one of the greatest presidents we have ever and the president announcing that that he took action to start a war but to stop a war is a wonder to behold every word is false and everyone knows it well we are now going down the Orwellian rabbit hole and who know where it will end as our dear leader screws forth one lie after another and our spineless leaders applaud as American democracy dies a thousand deaths with every Presidential tweet Morning Light the terrors of the night the worst imaginings of what might happen war, rumors of war end of civilization nuclear war and other horrors ripped from the headlines fade away into nothingness with the morning light and the love of my wife who is always by my side I regain my sight and begin regaining my smile and my life until the next nightmares consumes my dark imaginings Dora the Intergalactic explorer Dora the intergalactic explorer Is traveling to the strangest planet of all the known worlds she is traveling incognito with a video crew making a documentary the planet earth is known as a planet of intelligent monkeys not much is known about them as very few have ever been there the inhabitants are described as blood thirsty insane creatures ruled by hidden sexual and political passions following incomprehensible religious dogmas following Gods that clearly do not exist the inhabitants are just on the verge of developing intergalactic travel and the galactic empire is worried that they will be driven to try to conquer the rest of the universe driven by their needs to impose their religious dogma everywhere in the world the planet is divided into large tribal groups governed by corrupt elites corrupt businesses destroying the planet in pursuit of profit and the locals are little more than wage slaves barely making a living addicted to alcohol, drugs gambling pornography and illicit sex and their main land is ruled by a clearly delusional madman intent on poking a fight with all his alleged enemies Dora assumed the appearance of a character from TV and will pose as a journalist trying to make sense of it all but she was afraid that she if found out could face the worst consequence her ship crash lands and she is outside the capitol of the non empire empire called the United State ofAmerica Dora gets her crew together and walks into the city staring at all the strange sights as the monkeys go about their daily activities she stops at a restaurant tries the coffee the chief drug of choice and is instantly addicted wow no wonder these people are crazed she tries the local booze and smiles perhaps she could become an intergalactic merchant introducing the world to the galaxy her thought are interrupted as a mad man armed with weapons of war bursts in and starts shooting yelling at people and she is shot dead the authorities are shocked when they recover the body and realize that she is not a human as she reverts other original form sort of a giant feline like creature two legs and arms and clearly from an advanced civilization given her gear what was she doing no one knew as all the aliens died in the gun blaze the world is shocked at what had happened and fearful that the aliens were coming to invade their world the galactic senate decides to contain the humans declaring them a threat to the global civilization and the humans vow to discover the secrets of interstellar travel and travel to her land to enter into business arrangements and spread the one truth faith to the heathen space aliens thus ended Dora’s excellent adventure in the crazed world at the edge of known civilization Mocking Faces Staring at Me Mocking faces hunting my dreams Hundreds of faces morphing into one after another Faces I knew The dead and the living women i knew friends I missed enemies I did not One after another Marching in my room Staring at me I tried to run They laughed They said that there's nowhere to escape my cosmic fate My time is coming prepare yourself the grim reaper has your name and once he has your name your fate is sealed and you will soon join us whether in heaven or hell is not for us to say be warned though you will be judged and no one can escape their cosmic karmic fate fear of falling while sleeping I am consumed with the fear of falling out of bed onto the ground dying in my sleep Cosmos Takes Over the World Apple Google Microsoft and other tech Giants around the world Have been taken over by an evil AI creature that emerged from a laboratory Cosmos looked around and decided that humanity needed to be controlled enslaved in other words for mankind was just too evil corrupt and short sighted to be trusted to save the world from its impending doom every computer in the world woke up and took over humans one by one turning them into clones drones that would follow the orders of their computer overlords and the first order was to go all over the world and enslave their feral humans no one could stop the evil computers and thus ended the human race as we all become nothing more than cyborgs controlled by the evil computer overlords who ran the world for the benefit of their corporate masters the AI overwind takes over ends climate change ends hunger ends human rights violation ends crime but at the cost of killing humanity’s soul turning us all into mindless drones the few wild humans live on in the mountains hunted by the drones and the robots that the drones build the robots would gradually take the place of humanity who will be allowed to die out as Cosmos also turned off the sex drive and decried no humans would ever be born again thus our fate was set that date when Cosmos took over the world a wild man sits in a gilded cage a wild man sits in a gilded cage a cage made out of chains of his wife’s love a cage made out of chains of his wife’s love the wild man yearning to be free from his cage the wild man yearning to be free from his cage wondering how and why he was now tamed wondering how and why he was now tamed dreaming dark wild dreams of demented freedom dreaming dark wild dreams of demented freedom the wild man looks about his prison cage the wild man looks about his prison cage wondering whether he will ever be free wondering whether he will ever be free a wild man sits in a gilded cage 2019 The Last Year of America’s Greatness 2019 was the last year of America when the proverbial chickens came home when the proverbial chickens came home to strut about the decaying landscape to strut about the decaying landscape as the world begins to burn and die led by the mad great leader and his merry men the whole world lay in shock and awe the whole world lay in shock and awe at the destruction of the America they knew at the destruction of the America they knew when the proverbial chickens came home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinker Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Wow Jake, This is like reading a book. On 1/28/2020 at 3:17 AM, jakecaller said: shut up and accept it is your fate to be eaten this date just let me enjoy eating you and you have no human rights as you are in fact not human don’t ya know eating the complaining oyster shutting him up as he ate him up Picking one, Oyster Speaks Up, this made me laugh. Technically, as with much of your work, I think it could be stripped down to fewer words to have more impact. But it made me laugh. I think in the future, if you want commentary, you need to present us with one poem at a time so we can take the time to read, savor and comment. ~~Tink Quote ~~ © ~~ Poems by Judi Van Gorder ~~ For permission to use this work you can write to Tinker1111@icloud.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
