Bromide ~ Sunday, July 9, 2023

Platitudes matter,
such thoughtless banality
where words are evil

Lift up the curtain,
intelligence is surfeit
best to climb a tree

Arguments pointless
arrive at same conclusions,
the sound of a voice

Twisted ancient karma,
consequences to actions,
there is no devil

In a word, action
affirmative, Your Honor,
Mr. Chief Justice

Tell you no lies, truth
hidden in she with knowledge,
without gender, plead

Until the world cares,
blue in the face, hold your breath,
up to you, your choice

Dig until Xīzàng,
free China, Tibet follows
politics, a hole

Evidence lies flat
a society unfazed
by the injustice

Supreme of the Court,
welcome to America
don't drink the bromide

Make way for the mules
clueless, they walk, at leisure
their pleasure, to talk

Ask no questions, rise
from the ashes, old phoenix
birthday flags, my pride

Take Stonewall and laugh,
history is no party,
AIDS killed like a hawk

Take Civil Rights, King
the jaw hurts so badly, here
the bullet kills, skol

Even on deaf ears,
these words become meaningless
raise a bowl, your eye

Rebuttal, sling mud
cryptic but not commonplace
castles in the sky
