I have a lot of projects that are of various degrees. Some are completely finished, just waiting for birth into the public realm. Some have significant work. Others are barely started. This project only consists of two poems. I had forgotten that I wrote it, but upon reading it, I do recall writing it. Hope you enjoy it.
Minds Melting In Madness
Minds melting in madness
See me,
See thee,
Genius
Theoretical datum
Splicing the atom
Profits to maximize
Counterfeit lies
A hungry baby cries
A lonely nation dies
Lakota, Nakota, Dakota
In God we trust
They would sue
But the courts aren’t just
Minds melting in madness
Shifting the paradigm
Minds melting in madness
Declare the crime
Hatred is sacred
When you wear the uniform
Conform, conform, conform
Cosmonauts wrestling with
astronauts
Out there where there is no
air
Out there where there is no
prayer
The battle is well fought
Of course,
We now have a space force
And these words fade on
yellow pages
Poets ignored
Poets deplored
Seeking through the ages
For love to be restored
Minds melting in madness
Nine to five
Ain’t enough to survive
Medication or food
Ain’t you got it good
Living in the land of the
free
Salute the flag
Boast and brag
Never mind reality
They frolic hand in hand in
dance
Logic under demand dictates
circumstance
Gain the world such is the
goal
Gain the world lose you very
soul
Sex, money, power, control
They frolic united in
intercourse
They say things are getting
better
But they are worse
Minds melting in madness
Have a cry over princess Di
In Stockholm they have a cell
Welcome to this cozy hell
Bread and water
Prostitute your daughter
Masses for the slaughter
I saw a crippled man missing
an arm
Mumbling spital on his beard
Children eyes open in alarm
In green fatigues crazy weird
I Am my brother’s keeper
