Having Fun

The wit - bathos and banality of slapstick comedy  from Charlie Chaplin to Laurel and Hardy  use stupidity to effectively bond with an audience  sympathetically rather than disparagingly  to entertain - astonish - stimulate - and illuminate.  kenwsimpson.blogspot.com POETRY 

Misgivings

Friendships vary like the weather  and can be just as unstable when disagreements antagonize  creating volatile altercations   or doubts that overflow spitefully into frenzied confrontations  resulting in a parting of the ways kenwsimpson.blogspot.com POETRY  

Fiasco

The US has a brand new president  selected by the oligarchy  to make American corporations rich  a demented gropin' Joe  who won against an equally corrupt  and sinful Donald Trump  in a clearly determined election win.  kenwsimpson.blogspot.com 

No Need to Justify

A drone has no mind of its own  it represents a desire to kill  by the government executioner a grotesque old bureaucrat  and exceptional American hero  Christian capitalist moralist  and warmongering family-man.  kenwsimpson.blogspot.com  POETRY 

Promises

Distant days stretch and beckon  as unfulfilled dreams  hidden deceptions undiscovered  of predicted disaster  groping blindly toward ambition.   kenwsimpson.blogspot.com POETRY   

Addicts

 Their faces are ravaged and gaunt  with frightened eyes  unable to understand reasons why  they were cast aside kenwsimpson.blogspot,com POETRY 

Misgivings

Friendships change like the weather  and can be just as unstable  when disagreements antagonize   creating angry altercations or doubts that overflow spitefully  into bitter confrontations  resulting in a parting of the ways.  kenwsimpson.blogspot.com POETRY     

Dupes

Instinctively we cling like limpets  to inherited beliefs  our spiritual and worldly renown as God's creation  completely  free and democratic  proud Christians  programmed to believe rubbish.  kenwsimpson.blogspot.com POETRY 

Civility

 Defamation is okay and so are lies  and vilification   but not disrespect for a xenophobe  or a serial liar  so please treat racists wit respect  and be polite  to those you need to verbally scorn.  kenwsimpson.blogspot.com  POETRY 

The Truth of a Lie

Why is the truth so difficult to find in America?  Because it hides behind massive lies  by the obscenely obese and rich corporations  for whom greed is a godly sacrament  and the foundation for a capitalist philosophy where truths get shunted into prison  and replaced by half-truths and propaganda  by the mainstream media potentates  in collaboration with US government policies. kenwsimpson.blogspot.com  POETRY

The Devil's Disciple

 Malevolence roams the roads and alleyways  pockmarked with venom  seeking victims to inject with capitalist greed  misanthropy and hatred  Trump's stupidity and Joe Biden's corruption   Zionist/Fascist genocide  and indoctrinate into Satanism and eugenics.    kenwsimpson.blogspot.com  POETRY 

Renewal

 Beauty dances with the shadows  of long lost lovers  fading with the twilight into night  until the morning  then like a rosebud blossoms anew.  kenwsimpson.blogspot.com POETRY 

The Eyes of a Needle

  A burst of applause for a banished man  by a gathering of victims  at a rally for justice in the promised land  from ghettos of America  in memory of a dry creek bed in the rain  an ode to the homeless or to all who fail to become corruptly rich.  kenwsimpson.blogspot.com  POETRY

Surreally

 Diminishing puddles of red ink dripping  into a swimming pool. Fishing for barrukuda in the sky hoping  to land God or Jesus.   kenwsimpson.blogspot.com   POETRY 

Totalitarianism

The anger rises at the injustice suffered  by ordinary Americans  easily manipulated as puppets or slaves  programmed to accept  deceit - disinformation - and propaganda  proclaimed as the truth  by the mainstream newspapers and T V.  kenwsimpson.blogspot.com POETRY 

Victim

 Hunters from a bygone age scan the road for prey  their blind eyes probing the night.  Precariously balanced and indecently transparent  promiscuity totters to her demise.  In driving rain beside a highway as trucks roar by.    kenwsimpson.blogspot.com POETRY
