Status Quo

Rap

New people in my life and I don't like it,

New faces, names and personalities.

Tattoos all. And rock and rap. No music

With the charms to soothe the savage breast.

I was not born late, and not too early.

The world is gone. And ugliness is king.

They took the black man's rights. And in return,

He gave them rap. And violence is god.

And the people love it. This is death.

Roxie

Roxie is your tabby,

Kindly, not too bright.

To sleep above your head

Constitutes what's right.

Rather old and gentle,

She doesn't want to fight,

Provoke her to the limit,

She's hot like dynamite.

When you were alone,

Day as long as night,

Roxie of her choice,

Led by inner light,

Chose you for companionship -

Responding to your plight.

You've been friends forever,

No end in sight.

Feelings

The animal's behavior

Is inexplicable

If you do not recognize emotions.

The nasty doctors sneer

But they don't explain,

Undermining heaven with new hell.

Paradise and punishment -

Something from the Greek -

Charon steering cross the river Styx.

Status Quo

Very little changes -

The set, the scene, the props.

Though different the same

Many years ago.

On the mental ward

In county hospitals,

I found the cafeteria

And sat there smoking cigarettes

And staring at the walls.

Now I sit in Denny's.

I no longer smoke.

Instead I doodle poesy

And look into the distance.
