                Bigotry

I hate Blacks, the Whites, The Jews,
Mosques, Churches, Temples, too.
Each Race and Nation, I disdain
England, Pakistan, Ukraine.
I hate queers, they're deviants
Straights are always utter cunts.
Stone the women, hang the men,
Build a fire for androdgynens.
Eat the rich, starve the poor,
Bury the pious, bury the whores.
Forgive me my Insanity,
Cleanse the Earth of humanity.
I even hate myself, you see...


In this world of Perfect Bigotry.

Volcano

Hard emotions
subjected to your stresses
fracture and then melt.  

The magma of my mind
churns under pressure
searching for that weak spot.

When my mouth opens
it spews, pyroclastic --
scalding hot words.

But don't worry,
they'll cool to igneous rocks
before they hit you.

Robert Englund, John Saxon and Johnny Depp,
Teens plagued with disturbing dreams as they slept.
Taunted by a man scarier than Lex Luger,
If he comes while you sleep, his name's Freddy Krueger.

A severely burned figure with razor sharp claws,
And if he gets close, you better have gauze.
He'll slash you and cut you and rip you to bits,
He may even pause to glance at your tits.

Be ready for ole Freddy to visit your dream,
He's only imaginary but real he will seem.
And if you wake with a rip in your gown,
You must not sleep, you mustn't lie down.

From your nightmares -- he will come alive,
He's creepier than anything you could contrive.
Stay awake if you want to beat this old villain,
For once your eyes close, he's ready for killin.

A disfigured face, and his red and green sweater,
His metal-clawed glove he loves even better.
He will come to you at night when you're fast asleep,
Be ready to run, for the wounds will go deep.

He'll stalk you and chase you through the old boiler room,
And if he gets close, you may meet your doom.
No Doz, Speed..swallow what it may take,
To keep you wired and steadfast awake.

His name's Freddy Krueger, he comes in the night,
And even though a nightmare, you better take flight.
If he catches you, he'll slash you, your maker you'll meet,
So DO stay away from Nightmares on Elm Street!

Superstatic invisible oxides... colliding, destroying -- like an atomic war in the tender walls of my thoughtless mitochondria. Devastating catalysts to my DNA, RNA...metabolizing destruction emulating down a dangling electron transport chain of events to spurn creativity while only killing me, as I fight through every round of writer's block.

Free radical testing on gerbils and mice. Aging on a massive level, nibbling on my cellular being like fleas and lice...cloning, creating – growing in a laboratory dish only to decompose as apoptosomes bind, activating germ-like free-floating proteins only to capsize in a sea of denaturation and phagocytosis.

I reach...grasp for a daisy..but my hand comes back with only science -- filling my brain waves with malignant raindrops full of chromosomes screaming to break free from a wall of hydrogen that binds  hopes and dreams against an ocean of darkness...where science meets the night and fight or flight -- it explodes with possibilities of both energies yin and yang exposing the powers of survival in perfect balance and then a light goes off in mine eyes --  and I get back to....

My writing.

My writing.


Very good yelllow.  Enjoyed both of these but particularly loved the second one.  Since you wrote two, I guess you're in it for the challenge.

(sung to the tune of Somebody That I Used to Know)

This Is How We Do It When I Get You Alone
Like a Virgin You Just Keep Me Hangin' On
Baby Try a Little Tenderness
What a Girl Wants Rolling in the Deep
Don't Cry for Me, Argentina, You Get What You Give

Papa, Can You Hear Me Over at the Frankenstein Place
Singin' in the Rain, Without You, Stayin' Alive
She's Not There, Dancing with Myself
It's Not Right but It's Okay, Jolene
Because You Loved Me I Just Can't Stop Loving You

Don't Stop Believin', Express Yourself
I've Gotta Be Me For He's a Jolly Good Fellow
Lucky I Just Want to Hold Your Hand
What I Did for Love, The Only Exception
Paradise by the Dashboard Light
Rumour Has It I'll Remember Someone Like You
We Got the Beat Sing, Sing, Sing
The Glee cast covers songs that I used to know.

EDIT: Finally got to try this with the music.  It could have been a bit better -- but it's the thought that counts.  If it's any consolation it took me a while to do this.

SPACEX

Cosmic culmination, a sci-fi Deliverance aka the Dragon...a capsule of cargo shooting through the atmosphere. The stars shake, quake...tremble with fear at a loss of light year as the orbital ship rockets through midnight atop a Falcon 9.

Over my head, beyond the millions of dollars that should be in my grasp this very moment for my slavery to the keyboard, carelessly pushed aside for a commercial spaceship that is called a dragon but doesn't even breathe fire. They call it quantum fluctuations in science, I call it just another story where the writer forgot to write the words FADE OUT.

As it nears the space station, international they call it, NASA's all over it like a maggot on a corpse, the Dragon's only eyes, its thermal imagers...its mission a rendezvous..while I watch all I can think is that I wish this dragon could break free, shatter the chains that hold it captive -- in bondage ...a slave to the dollar and scientific advancement.

And just when “they” think they have this Dragon by the tail, it spins around, turns towards the big planet we call Earth. Free at last, its mouth opens wide. Beautiful flames of red and yellow burst like an enormous torch. And with one final roar, the Dragon...... turns us into ash.

When a buttefly smokes helium
and a memory watches TV,
I lie facedown in a pool of syrup
and Obtuse, he says hi to me.

He says it silently, however
Then rain arises from fiery hell
where choirs of angels sing of their release
and Obtuse, he wishes me well

It's dark, dank and dire where he comes from
and the nights they treat you mean
He thought that he could help when I called him
instead Obtuse, he flees the scene.

Though he imparts me with his motive
I'm not sure that I understand
but somehow I'll always remember
that Obtuse, he is close at hand.
