"Resisting Arrest" Poem by Alex Phuong


Resisting Arrest

By Alex Phuong

Uniting uniformed unity
You and I defy the sky
Team work and collaboration
Up to personal discretion
Civil Rights
Civility
Minorities against majorities
Stick to the status quo
But should we...?
Really?
Defy thy stars
And seek new avenues
Harness the power of creativity
And merge sense with sensibility
"Utopia" was conceived by Thomas More
But all must still must strive for more
For he was A Man for All Seasons
Arrests might be criminal
But people cannot be subliminal
If they want to break free
Listen to words of wisdom from me
“Know thyself, be thyself, harmoniously”

Outer Limits


Outer Limits

Too poor for the poor house
Said the rat to the mouse
But if you please
Share with me your cheese

Round and round and round and round
Poets search
While in church
Nothing is found
Except excess repetition
And vain ambition
Watch as they pass the collection plate
Keep an eye on the preacher
Keep an eye on the teacher
Cause they're full of hate

They speak in Latin
Pig Latin of course
The speak in Latin
And it's all for the worse

William Shatner and Mr. Spock
Chekov was gay
What a shock

Meanwhile on the Serengeti sands
A harsh reality takes commands
Zebras shedding their stripes
Let's admit it
The world needs all types

Hail Mary full of grace
They send space ships
To the outreaches of outer space
Perhaps one day
With a dutiful toot
We can expand the expanse
Upon which we pollute


Enter the poetic world of John Kaniecki.....
