Not so Fond Farewell

AnthonyLeave a comment

Now I’m here

You go away

Save cruelty

For another day.

–

Badness gone

Far away

Save it for

Another stay.

–

Leave this place

Move along

Singing a

Different song.

–

There’s no need

To explain

As your words

Cause me pain.

–

Bid adieu

Say goodbye

Pack your bags

I won’t cry.

–

For, my truth

Is at hand

You’re in a

Distant land.

–

Now I’m free

From your hate

Peace without

A debate…

Nero’s Lesson 

Anthony4 Comments

Art, Untitled (Blue) by Pinchas Maryan

Leaders that hate 

Leaders like Nero 

There’s no debate

They’re absolute zero.

–

Compassion lacking

Hatred up front 

Cruelty gobsmacking

Insanely blunt.

–

War is hell

A hell they love

Their people aren’t well

Poverty they shove.

–

Propaganda and lies 

Political machines

Mother and babe cries  

And all in between.

–

Murder or revolution

Will make them retire

A simple conclusion 

Like Nero and the Roman Empire.

–

Ché, Pott, Castro, Perón

Lenin, Stalin, Pinochet, and Hitler

Men content to be alone

No exceptions, a stickler.

 –

Death before compromise

Led to bitter ends 

Only now can we surmise 

What tyranny portends.

–

Societies fall, it’s no riddle

As the world turns

Nero and his proverbial fiddle

Playing as his Rome burns…

Don’t Walk Away, Run!!!

Crocheted Donut by Jenny Gallego

Your love was as satisfying as a crocheted donut for breakfast.

Your compassion was as deep and rich as a red solo cup.

Your passion was as fiery as the heart of a thousand year old glacier.

–

Your emotional abuse was as consistent as the phases of the moon.

Your disdain for me and anything I found remotely interesting was a death blow.

–

Taking all of these into consideration, I walked away and never looked back lest I be turned to stone…

New Source

Kick up your heels

Get back on the horse

Adjust your reels

You’ve got a new source.

–

Set your hooks

Set up your bait

Spruce up your looks,

And just wait.

–

Get yourself a money train

Someone who’ll support y’all

And when he figures it out in vain

You’ll take him for a cash windfall.
