Belated Independence Day

Why must I celebrate
My freedom on
Just a day or two?

Think I'll eat a plate
Of beef today
Watch some porn
Hook up with a girl
In a seedy hotel
Who'll make me feel glad
That I was born

Post orgasmic bliss will be
Embraced with dirty talk
And curses
Accompanied with
A reading of Satanic Verses

Only when I manage to do
All of the above

Will I doff my hat to the moral police
And celebrate my independence
For sure

Steel Rain

We're cutting down our trees
Poisoning our rivers
Butchering the environment

So you may ask
What's the big deal?
So what if the earth heats up
And the rains fail us

We can all quench our thirst
With this man made
Rain of steel

Noah's Ark

Here am I a volunteer
Rounding up members for
A modern day
Noah's ark

Don't think I am hassled
By my four-legged friends
I enjoy being caught up
Between bleat and bark

Dead End

Don't flag down my
My train of thought
You know it's prone
To get derailed

I know I must speed
Full steam ahead and
Knock down the writer's block
That stands in my way

Dual Tones

Two colours do I have as friends
In this cluttered and complicated world
Friends whose simple advice brings
On my face a glow

For while one commands me
To stop
The other encourages me
To go
