Poetry by Brian37 (poems by an atheist)

I post all over the web, but I want a back up in case my computer or one particular website goes down.

I have decided to edit this post because I do not like giving people the wrong impression. I cannot read Shakespeare to save my life. I just remember this one line from act 5 scene 5 and put my own spin on it. I've had to explain this over and over so here I decided to put that in this post so there is no more presuming what I know or don't know. But the plot of MacBeth is the old lesson, you can have everything and nothing at all at the same time. And how did all that cruelty serve you in the end? But I do not like play summeries calling him a Nihisist, because it is possible to not do what he did, and accept life as being finite, and sitll have morals without religion. 

 

NEW EDIT 9/19/22 I got pissed at myself that I was scared to read MacBeth, so tonight, I forced myself to read it online. Now mind you, I did not understand it line for line, but basically Macbeth was an assdhole who murdered his way to the top, and did not believe the 3 witches prophcies. He murdered Duncan and had Banquo murdered. Banquo's ghost haunts Macbeth. And made the grave mistake of attacking McDuff's family and killing them(If I am reading this correctly) But Lady MacBeth has a guilty conscience and kills herself, upon finding out Macbeth basically says that life is not worth living and he should go down with a fight anyway, but refuses to fight  Macduff face to face and Macduff kills him as the hero. ( I SERIOUSLY read the entire play every line, tonight.  I even know where the famous line "double double, toil and trouble". comes from. The three witches, basically saying "look out Macbeth" your ass is in trouble. 

So basically the moral of the play, don't be a fucking asshole when trying to get to the top, or "the bigger they are the harder they fall". Reminds me of the movie Scarface and all the shitty things Tony did to get to the top and all for not. But Sosa in that case was not a good guy either.
 



QUOTE WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE MACBETH:"To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

Here is my spin on that wonderful and profound line:



Out, Out brief candle, By Brian37

To-deities, and to-gods, and to-God

Creeps in this petty tyrant from day to day

Until the extinction of humanity new ones will be invented

And all our yesterday's Gods have been created by fools

The way to tribal death. Out out brief myth

Claims are but a walking shadow, a poor reflection

That struts our narcissism upon the stage

And then is heard no more. It is a tale

Told by the credulous, full of sound and fury

Signifying nothing.

The Salesman, By Brian37

The Salesman, By Brian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB and @Brianrrs37 on twitter)

 

I know I could not

Be as brave as you

Sabatoge the the Death Squads

On their way north

 

A  taxi driver's daughter

Trained for the S.O.E.

Lerned to parachute

Learned cryptogrophy

 

Handled weapons

Demolition

Offered herself up

As a resistence spy

 

Code name "Luise"

Was her first mission

Gathering target info

For the allies to hit

 

The second mission

Code named "Salesman 2"

Dropped from the sky

They went in again

 

The objective was

For her to cordinate

The interruption

Of Nazi communications

 

Unfortunately

They were unaware

That the enemy

Was very near

 

At 9:30am

Of June 10th

She set out for

Her daily mission

 

A bicycle most thought

Would bring less attention

But her friend insisted

On a car instead

 

She was armed

With a Sten

8 magizines

She was clad

 

They saw a roadblock

Up ahead

It was too late

They were had

 

Viollette bolted

Out the door

Gunfight insued 

Though outnumbered

 

Friend Dufour

The brave driver

She ran to him

To give him cover

 

Then lept a gate

Across a feild

Toward a stream

Then uphill behind some trees

 

In the process

Bloodied and exhausted

She begged Dufour

Not to stay

 

She fired back

To give him cover

To make his escape

Before her capture

 

Interegated for days

Off to a labor camp

She did not give in

Never gave them up

 

But her time was up

Eventually

Forced to kneel

In Febuary snow

(end)

 

Now the details of this poem based on a real female spy who helped the French resistence vary. Violette Szabo was her name.

Some historians say the gunfight never happened, the Germans denied it, maybe out of embarrassment? Others historians say it did. The Smithsonian story at this link said it was a wheatfield they ran into, while the wiki page said it was a corn field. 

But the overall experts say she was trained as S.O.E. and did get shot at in planes and did get trained with weapons and did risk her life helping the resistance and was captured and exicuted by the Nazis for her collaberation.

 11:59 By Brian37 (AKA

 11:59 By Brian37 (AKA Brian James RationalPoet on FB and @Brianrrs37 on twitter)

 

On the edge of the cliff

They scream of doom

Before it's too late

They quote old books

 

Stalker mentality

Hostages they take

Three way stand off

The world is at stake

 

11:59

Repeated countless times

Centuries of madmen

Claiming the end

 

Oh it will be

Most certainly

Just not based

On myths of antiquity

 

It's unfortunate gore

Tribal war

Needless fear

Divides us more

 

Instead we could

Focus on

Problem solving 

If we wanted

 

Resources diverted

By warlord gods 

Zealous rantings

All are frauds

 

11:59

The shrill of "mine"

Conflicts of holy books

Will kill mankind

 Morse Code, By Brian37

 Morse Code, By Brian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on Facebook and @Brianrrs37 on twitter)

 

Dot dot dot, dash dash dash

Dot dot dot

Coded language

They're not in distress

 

Their ship is sinking

As it should

Losing privilage 

They never earned

 

Bitter they are

Over Nixon

The Civil War

Falsely play victim

 

Their dear leader

Adorned in orange

Unmasked the code

The GOP started

 

Morse Code

To cover up

The same bait and switch

They've always sold

 

"You better watch out

For that food stamp moocher

Even though better wages

Would make things better"

 

Teebow thanks God

For a score

While his gullible followers

Willfuly ignore

 

A 49er

Tells the truth

About inequity

About abuse

 

Morse code was around

Long before

The orange man

Made a sound

 

The bombastic

Megalomaniac

Simply unmasked

The code they had

 

Dot dot dot

Dash dash dash

The GOP ship

Will sink at last

 Apoplectic By Brian37 (AKA

 Apoplectic By Brian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB and @Brianrrs37 on twitter)

 

Your fake indignity

After a year of hypocrisy

Scapegoating everyone

With demagoguery

 

It is a back stroke

Vile time machine

Rage of the old

Old angry white man

 

Viens in your neck

Popping out

Froth up the voters

Whom will lash out

 

Meet with Hispanics

After called out

Return to the hate

They have bailed out

 

On to Detroit

In "support of blacks"

The video doesn't show

Your small audience

 

You go to former home

Of Ben Carson

To find the person

Dwelling within

 

Isn't voting

For hate filled you

But Hillary instead

You cant undo

 

Vets are losers

Cattle car calls

Scapegoating jackass

You are a fraud

 

You're not fighting

Just simply shouting

Lighting a fuse

To get attention

 

Delete your nomination

And your account

We don't need your hate

Or what you're about

 Cuban Billionaire Crisis,

 Cuban Billionaire Crisis, By Brian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB and @Brianrrs37 on twitter)

 

"Headline Porn"

Mark called his tactics

Shock to distract

He has no anwsers

 

Orange semen

On Matt's face

Cheeto faced

Softballs him

 

"What did you expect

Mixing them"

I wonder what

Decade we live in?

 

Get back in the kitchen

You stupid broads

Bleeing out of your "wherever"s

His hand size knows all

 

The Morning is mourning

Mavricks are ticked

Fellow billionaires

Are tired of your shit

 

Cheating contractors

Failed casinos

Your steaks have rotted

And you have the nerve

 

The Wizzard of Oz

Bombastic on meth

Remind us all

Where your products are made?

 

Lets pass out nukes

Like they are skittles

It wont cause problems

Insulting world leaders.

 

Mark his words

If he gets in office

Global stability

Will get flushed down the toilet.

 Yahtzee, By Brian37 (AKA

 Yahtzee, By Brian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet and @Brianrrs37 on twitter)

 

You're still recovering

It's taking long

But while you do it

Lets have some fun

 

I know you hate

Those antibiotics 

Decrease your appitite 

You don't like it

 

You hate having to wait

To get out of bed

Or get back in

Waiting for assistence 

 

But when I come

To visit you

Between your PT

And OP too

 

We can pass the time

In the activity room

Or the Solarium

Where you seal my doom

 

I must have bought

Loaded dice

You've beaten me

Not once or twice

 

More than that

Most every time

All five dice

Land on one side

 

One game so bad after I counted

You didn't need your uper section

You beat me 388

To 227

 

Ok mom

You're great at that

I love to play

No matter what

 

But even better

I would be fun

To do this more

When you get home

 

Done with rehab

Home with Skippy

That's where we'd both

Be really happy

 

Your full house

Is a large straight 

Home you'll be happy

No chance to take

 "A Tisket A Tasket" By

 "A Tisket A Tasket" By Brian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB and @brianrrs37 on twitter)

 

No yellow or brown basket

They want to take us

Back to the days

Where Ella couldn't sing it

 

You hope she gets better

What a blatent lie

After making suggestions

Of 2nd Amendment solutions

 

Powell is right

You started this fight

Racist birther movement

Duke on your side

 

Pence wont denounce him

And in the Tar Heel State

The getting old party

Wants to play bathroom police

 

Madmen misogeny 

Runs from Kelly

His tiny hands

Are all he has

 

A tisket a tasket

The letter in your basket

Deplorable message

You sell and deny it

 

Deplorable Despot

Donald's stump

Masked as patriotism

Kentucky's Gov

 

Kentucky's Gov

Would agree

Religious violence

Resort to thee

 

A tisket a tasket

No brown or yellow basket

Bigotry is bigotry

No matter how you mask it

 Rocca The Cash Bar, By

 Rocca The Cash Bar, By Brian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB and @Brianrrs37 on twitter)

 

"Dream big"

You have said

Complete it

With "And don't quit

 

It sounds nice

And well intended

It's not the trying

Or succeeding

 

It's not the failure

One should learn from

It is the math

You keep ignoring

 

You do your show

From the Ford museum

Failing to mention

Companies now dead

 

From the Abbott

Edsel, Hupmobile 

There are far more 

That get nowhere

 

Just like there is

Only one Superbowl

Only one winner

Who wins the show

 

Just like only one

President

Elected every 4 years

Only one gets in

 

 

Don't get me wrong

I don't hate success

We do need inventors

It's why we have what we have

 

It's not impossible

To get to the top

I simply don't like

Your ignoring the odds

 

Most in society

End up workers

The higher you go

The fewer the spots

 

What happens

At a certain age

When that dreamer

Has tried their best

 

Has tried their best

But doesn't win

Does not get rich

Or own a patent?

 

What happens when

That highschool player

Tears thier ACL

And loses their scolarship

 

What happens when

The aspiring actor

Get's turned down

For the part?

 

For every Ford

Or Joe Montana

For every Hendrix

Or Barack Obama

 

For every Steve Jobs

There are millions of others

Who do the same things

Progaming computers

 

For every Seinfield 

There is a Richard Jenni 

Who end up depressed

Because they didn't make it

 

The chase of clechis 

The chase for the buck

The unrealistic holesale

You'll end up on top

 

We do need inovation 

We do need dreamers

What we don't need

Is unrealistic delusions

 

There will always be

Those chasing those things

Those seeking 

Fortune and fame

 

What Ford thought 

Was far more important

Affordable living

Not his position 

 

Pay workers well

Is a better plan

Than selling horrible math

Most will not obtain

 

To try is fine

To learn from failure

Don't sell the delusion

It is a given

A Pair Of Cutes, By Brian37

A Pair Of Cutes, By Brian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB and @brianrrs37 on twitter)

 

At my mom's rehab

There is a game room

With two cute birds

Yellow and blue

 

When she's asleep

Or attended to

Or in need of privacy

The room I go to

 

Has a fish tank

Bird cage, big TV

Draws full of puzzels

Playing cards and lots of games

 

What draws my attention

Are the two little critters

One blue and white

The other mostly yellow

 

Various toys

They play with

One with a mirror 

And beads like an abacus

 

They chirp and flutter

And bob their heads

Get really noisy

When I ignore them

 

They watch intently

When I play peekaboo

Or make clicking sounds

Like they also do

 

These two parakeets

Are a pair of cutes

One mostly yellow

One white mostly blue

 

They bob their heads

And follow me

Wondering what

I am up to

 

Don't ask me

Ever to hang out

At 5 star restaurant

Or fancy hotel

 

Time is all

Any of us have

Just like me and my mom

And those two birds

 

Just like those birds

In the activity room

My mom and I 

Fuss and groom

 

Just like my mom

Does with me

About when my hair

Gets to long for her

 

Just like when

I tell her to drink

And to eat more

To not get weak

 

I can tell

They do care

About each other

Like I do my mother

 Fargo North's Decoder, by

 Fargo North's Decoder, by Brian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB and @Brianrrs37 on twitter)

 

The Well is dry

Fargo's CEO knows why

He set it up

And now he lies

 

Facing Warren

Blistering condemnations

Well deserved

Fargo's scam

 

It's sytstematic

It all started

36 years ago

With Reagan's deregulation

 

It's been protected

All this time

To suggest regulations

Is "communism"

 

The AIDS drug

The Eppipen 

Citizen's United

Monopolies stand

 

It's Warren-ted 

To point it out

To expose the greed

Of the 1%

 

It's time to stop

The bullshit slur

That the left is anti private sector

It's patently absurd

 

Anti monoploy 

Is a healthy market

It is the right and top

Who want to exploit us

 

The Kochs and Walmart

Big Oil and Wells Fargo

Banks and billionaires

Are not our puppetmasters

 

It isn't business 

That anyone should hate

But the idea that one class

Determines our fate

 

The corporate boardroom

Isn't congress

It doesn't get to make

Laws for all of us

 Pelham 1 2 Greed, By

 Pelham 1 2 Greed, By Brian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB and @Brianrrs37 on twitter)

 

After a year

Of your scapegoating trail

Campaign of fear

You've hit that third rail

 

Mr. Orange was never "Blue"

Electricuted by his own misogyny

"Locker room talk"

His excuse seen through

 

Banana republic

Language of despots

You've hit that third rail

Knocked yourself off

 

3 marriages yourself

You talk about Buffet

As a distraction

To avoid your own actions

 

And Green and Grey

Ryan and McCain

Are jumping off

Your toxic Pelham 

 

Hispanics and Latinos

War refugees

POWs 

On top of misogyny 

 

Its all a distraction

From your greed

You robbed and cheated

Countless many

 Hit Job, By Brian37 (AKA

 Hit Job, By Brian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB and @Brianrrs37 on twitter)

 

Wrinkled and puckered

Your sphincter rhetoric

They are all against you

Its a  hit job

 

So much so

Even though

A firebombed office

Democrats donated

 

Grassy knoll garbage

You blame Baldwin

"It's a hit job"

Shows your desperation

 

There's a litte red man

In your head

And a little green man

Under your bed

 

"Paranoia"

As the song goes

"Shall destroy you"

We see through you, everyone knows

 

You're the drunk driver

Who blames the bartender

Blames the cops

For pulling you over

 

You Jones for the votes

Info war loons

Then get upset

When media pokes fun of you

 

It is a hit job

You brought on yourself

Maybe you should learn

To shut your mouth

 Orange Is The New

 Orange Is The New Hindenburg, By Brian37 (AKA Brian37 on FB and @Brianrrs37 on twitter)

 

"I know you are

But what am I"

Schoolyard bully

Crybaby lie

 

I've seen your script

In my youth

I got beat up

By assholes like you

 

One day at the playground

On the feild

Playing pick up football

You hated to lose

 

I went out for a pass

Beat you at last

Ran for a touchdown

It made you mad

 

At the end of the field 

Basketball blacktop

I tried to slow down

You pushed my back

 

Momentum threw me

Forward and down

Grating my arms

Scraped along the ground

 

You ambushed me

In the ally 

Surrounded me

With the other bullies

 

"I wanna pop pop pop

I wanna Shasta"

You all sang

Ringleader finally punched me

 

You broke my nose

And over what?

Because I was different

Because I was sensitive?

 

Your daddy abused you

Then you abused me

He hated losers

A "killer" to be

 

"I know you are

But what am I"

The Zepplin in flames

Titianic hubris

 

Godwins law

Does not apply

Oh yes it does

And here is why

 

"Accuse the other"

Of what you do yourself

Goebbles tactics

You've learned well

 

Fortunatly 

For humanity

Just like the bullies

On my street

 

You wanna pop pop pop

Do you want a Shasta?

We'll give you one Trump

We will outlast you

 

The end is near

The bullies should fear

They are outnumbered

Their hubris is clear

 

The "champ" is sitting

On the jon 

Charlton is no Heston 

You all were frauds

 

You beat me up

Because you could

Not because of anthing

I was guilty of

 

Crying foul now

Is such a joke

It is sweet 

Watching you choke

 Clean Up On Ilse 3, By

 Clean Up On Ilse 3, By Brian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB and @Brianrrs37 on twitter)

 

The screaming kid

Wanted candy

Reaching for

The top of the display

 

He huffed and puffed

And threw a tantrum

All in orange 

Scapegoating fassion

 

The pigion plays chess

His temperment says

He was never fit

To handle it

 

The childish brat

With peircing shrill

Breaking the eardrums

Of even his own

 

He's not talking

About using the courts

Like Gore did

In 2000 Florida

 

Gore accepted

The court's decision

Bush took office

When the process was done

 

It is mere rhetoric

Throwing a fit

When the childish brat

Isn't the center of attention

 

He grabs the display

Like a game of Jinga 

The display topples

All over the isle

 

Daddy pumped you

Full of the sugar

Frosted narcissism 

Desplaying your ego

 

Clean up 

On isle 3

The shrill of the brat

For all too see

 

The sticky gunk

On the floor

The toddler's shoe size

Imprinted on the wrapper

 

He stomps and stomps

Blames everyone else

From the stock clerk

To the Cashier 

 

Clean up

On isle 3

November 8th

Finally

 

It will be over

The brat will scream

In his own ecco chamber

Demogogue defeated

 

Self inflcted 

Asterick

The toddler's tantrums

Are not of substance

 

Civil society 

In western politics

Should always avoid

The toddler's rhetoric

 

Transfer of power

If to be peaceful

Should never value

To be so hateful

 

Huff and puff

Stomp your feet

Throw your fit

In futile effort

 

Bye bye brat

Blame yourself

Nobody forced you

To run for office

 

You opened your mouth

And said what you said

Nobody put

A gun to your head

 

Clean up 

On isle 3

November 8th

Finally

 

Whine and scream

All you want

Bye bye brat

You are done

 Of Attributes, By Brian37

 Of Attributes, By Brian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB and twitter)

 

I never get a good answer

When

The followers of any

Attribute to them

 

"All powerful"

So they say

To Jesus and Allah

And that of Yahweh

 

Ok then explain to me

Of wants and needs

How can you say

He's perfect in any way?

 

He needs mere mortals

He needs body guards

Marketing department

And cob web books?

 

What are we

To this being

Mere lab rats

For it's amusement?

 

To sit up there

With folded arms

While we kill each other

Over vying for it's love?

 

While cancer kills

Kids and adults

War and famine

Have always plauged us

 

Natural disasters

Earthquakes and hurricanes

Car accidents

Crash of jet planes

 

Every Friday

Saturday and Sunday

You bow your heads

In every country

 

Pray for your bounty

Pray for security

Pray for defeat

Of your enemy

 

None of the mentioned

Want to consider

It's all been in vain

A futile endevor 

 

He needs not that

Of bodyguards 

Or of marketing departments

To peddle PR

 

He's simply a reflection

Of human's desires

That every society

Passes to the next generation

 

It would be horrifying

To think of my species

As mere property

To do what he pleases

 

The logic is flawed

To think of such

That we are under the thumb

Of this claimed god

 

Under a microscope

Tiny ants

That get washed away

When he allows it to rain

 

Records every move

Condemns our thoughts

If we refuse 

To bow to it

 

These are not 

The attributes

Of critital thinking

Or freethought

 

Not of consent

But of absolute power

The arbitrary whims

Of a despot

 

I say this not

To offend

Though I know it will

In any case

 

But to propound

Is your logic sound

Is there really 

A God to be found

 

Or is it that

What was passed down

Your thinking at birth

When your reason not sound

 

Why would he need

You to protect him

Why would he need

A marketing department?

 Easter Island, By Brian37

 Easter Island, By Brian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB and @Brianrrs37 on twitter)

 

Hetfield's thrash

Our pace too fast

Consume to pollute

"Color our world blackend"

 

Still stuck in the mindset

Our resources infinite 

Not the case

Screams Easter Island

 

Our hurling dwelling

Around the sun falling

History's screaming

Easter Island is calling

 

We cannot simply consume

We will seal our doom

If we don't care

For our only home

 

Receding icecaps 

Atmosphere hyper active

Affecting our food sorces 

On land and the ocean

 

The age of conquests

Have to give way

To global cooperation

Easter Island is warning

 

Don't say you care

About the environment

If your only goal

Is nothing but profit

 

The Polynesian population

Is a frighting warning

Of what will happen

If we continue what we are doing.

 1908 by Brian37 (AKA Brian

 1908 by Brian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB and @Brianrrs37 on twitter)

 

A kid did this

They called it Billy

Now finally a win

In the windy city?

 

Oh knock it off

It's such bullshit

To talk of droughts

Chalk it up to this

 

The same bad logic

Humans claim

A divine source

Helps any of them

 

What about 

The other 28 teams

What about Cleveland 

Who didn't win?

 

The math isn't there

For all to end up winners

In evolution

The same is true

 

For every adult tree

You you think you see

Abundant life

It's seemingly 

 

Seemingly magic

Seemingly divine

But the reality is

Most acorns end up on the ground

 

No differnt than

Knowing the fact

Most sperm do nothing

Ony one gets to the egg

 

Don't get me wrong

I remember how long

Remember how long

It has been since

 

It has been since

Washington

Held up a Superbowl trophy

Of which I am fond

 

But there is no magic

No curse involved

Just like life

To end up on top

 

The higher up

You try to go

The fewer spots

The more competition there is

 

And what of losers

It is going to happen

It doesn't make you

Any type of victim

 

You are not favored

By a diety

You are not cursed

By a goat either

 

It is skill 

And some luck

Having nothing to do

With magic or gods

 

There was no kid

There are no curses

There are no deities

Favoring any team

 

I love as much

The plight of the underdog

Most of us do

When it comes to sports

 

But get a grip

Look worldwide

Priorities humans

It's not life or death

 

Go away kid

Go away god

You had nothing to do

With reality at all

 Stunned, By Brian37 (AKA

 Stunned, By Brian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB and @Brianrrs37 on Twitter)

 

Eleven

Eight

Twenty

Sixteen

 

"A day

Which will

Live

In infamy"

 

The day

Hate won

The day

Fear won

 

The day

Our species

Gave into

Our worst instincts

 

Maybe stunned

We should not be

For we also gave into

Complacency 

 

Reagan started it

And ever since

Successfully sold

The rich man's narrative

 

If we just accept

Less and less

If we just work more

It will do the trick

 

I only hope

For the sake of the planet

For my species

This isn't the end

 United American Soviet

 United American Soviet Union, By Brian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB and @Brianrrs37 on twitter)

 

KKK

GOP

Been given normalcy

 

Putin's lapdog

Has Amarosa

Vowing revenge

 

He's gone after media

Even attackign Megyn 

Supossedly on his side

 

Kind apology

Great deception

Blind to what may come

 

Use scapegoating

Sell fear

Seek revenge

Repeat until defeat

 

Welcome 

To the New America

The People's Republic

Of America

 

Lying sack of shit

You will fill your cabinite 

With the sme assholes

Who bankrupted us with Bush

 

Then you think you can

Offer a fake apology

After pouring gas on the fire

 

Yes asshole

I will be non violent

But I will work every day

To put you out of office!

 

You are a despot

Just like Uncle Joeseph

Destroying political pluralism

Just for corporate interests.

 "1 Term President", By

 "1 Term President", By Brian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB and @Brianrrs37 on twitter)

 

Turtle face

Didn't wait

In November

Of 08

 

Otherism

To the point

Powell condemned him

McCain backed away

 

"He's a good man"

Now you claim

Now you want us

After everything

 

No we wont

Ever forget

All the hateful

Things you've said

 

Give you a chance?

Your party didn't

The day after

Obama's first election

 

This isn't a game

This isn't a show

This isn't South Park

You have the nuclear codes

 

FUCK YOU

And your "otherism"

I am not your dormat

Or your clone

 

You should have thought 

About your vile word choice

TV is one thing

In politics it is another

 

Molitove coctail

You've lit the fuse

Don't blame us

For reacting to you

 

As the Crow flies

Jim's gerrymandering denies

The ghosts of the 60s

Still haunt us

 

You are not being "Frank"

You went affer Ann

Media and Judges

And captured Veterians

 

I doubt you have

Any empathy

Looking out your window

In New York City

 

Those people protesting

Are not your pawns they are humans

Fuck your daddy

And his "killer" mentality

 

Easy to talk

With armed body guards

With CIA

In fortified cars

 

You had the nerve

To slam McCain

Avoid combat

Because of bone spurs 

 

No we will not ever forget

What your party said

November 9th

In 2008

 "Drain The Swamp" By

 "Drain The Swamp" By Brian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB and @Brianrrs37 on Twitter)

 

I will afford 

The same value

To the president elect

They had for Obama

 

Give you a chance?

Your kidding right?

You now want 

To bring me flowers?

 

Unlike you 

I wont advocate

Harm to your person

But I don't owe you shit verbally

 

How the fuck

Do you think you can govern 

With all the vile sick shit

You have spewed

 

You have no clue

Whom you have hurt

My friends my family

PEOPLE I KNOW PERSONALLY

 

And why

Because of your fuckign ego

Drain the swamp?

YOU ARE THE SWAMP!

 

My friend in Norman Ok

Is disabled, legally blind

Grew up with guns

BUT HATES YOU AS MUCH AS I DO

 

If your party

Gets what they want

He will be homeless

And even more in dept

 

I have a friend down under

And my x wife who is Japanese

Along with the sane world

HATE YOU and rightfully

 

How dare you use

Your position of power

As if it were a game

THIS IS NO FUCKIGNG GAME

 

Drain the swamp?

You are the swamp

I don't think you have a clue

As to the damage you have done

 

If you have

One shred of compassion

You will step down

For the sake of our planet.

 Oh fuck off Beyond.This

Beying of The Pig, (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB and @Brianrrs37 on twitter)

 

Imagine if you will

Instead of JFK

Handling 

Nikita 

 

You had a trust fund brat

Orange quaff wound tight

Hands on the nukes

Ready for a fight

 

"And 

You can

Tell them

To go fuck themselves"

 

Imagine if JFK

Had acted the same way

Would humanity be even

Here today?

 

Yes we are in crisis

Not because of Isis

But because of a demagogue

A selfish fucking narcissist 

 

He fancies himself

In some way

Maybe a politial

Dirty Harry

 

But in reality

He is nothing humanity

Should ever aspire

To be

 

Ask not 

What Trump can do for you

Ask him to stop

The vile crap he's spewed

 Attlal's Waffle House, By

 Attilal's Waffle House, By Brian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB and @Brianrrs37 on twitter)

 

The bellowing shrill

Of the orange Jabba

BUILD THAT WALL

Now, not so much

 

The skinhead music

The German studio

Sessions lead

Make your ears bleed

 

Now he reflects

On 60 Minutes

"I should have been nicer"

I don't think he regrets it

 

Such a brave man

To the establishment he'll stand

By draining the swamp

With with Bush's men

 

The slimy slug

In love with a KBG thug

Priased by Un

Oh what fun

 

Oh he deserves credit

He did do one thing

He did invent

A time machine

 

As the Crow flies

McCarthy is alive

The garbage truck dumped

Drumpf at Pennsilvania Avenue

 

The loose cannon

Will fix everything

Your dear leader elect

Has chosen Bannnon 

 

You ignorant baffoon

Use the word "rude"

To describe innocent people

Concerned with you

 

"Rude" is beyond

What you have done

Dangerous and toxic

Your  waffles are poison

 

Thank you Hun

You have won

But if you think it is over

THINK AGAIN

 

The good thing

About bullies and loudmouths

Is that long term they lose

When people stand up

 

BUILD THAT WALL

Now not so much

DEPORT THEM ALL

Now case by case

 

You go "killer"

Listen to daddy's voice

Be an asshole always

Win at all costs

 

You know what

Is sick about you

You make me wish

For Darth Cheney 

 

The death star

Has cleared the planet

Of all the outsiders

The Empire strikes back

 

At least when Reagan

Sold cold war crap

He never spoke

The way you have

 

I've seen this script

Over and over

Promise the world

Fear the other

 

I remember

That rebate check

In Bush's first year

Felt dirty cashing it

 

Oh you will

Throw them crumbs

To garner loyalty

Of the stormtroopers 

 

Tax cuts 

Accross the board

That's what you claim

But it will benefit the same

 

You have no intent

On doing the right thing

You've braged about tax dodging

But it is nothing more

 

Than the same old con

Dangle the carrot

Hamsters on the wheel

Always fall for it

 

Ok blowhard 

Now is your chance

I don't beleive you

In one slightest bit

 

You've maced your way

Beyond pepper spray

Not in self defense

You're a pinnapple grenade

 

The grace of a hiena

It would be laughable

If you were not

A lumbering hippo

 

Oh you look cute

You hungry hippo

To your minions

But North Africans can tell you

 

Hippos are violent

Kill more than gators

Welcome to the junkyard

Car crusher you've created

 

You diplomat you

Huns Waffle House

You have the compassion

Of a rattlesnake

 

You're such a fake

So much so

Your name's been removed

From skyscrapers you built

 

Now you've infected

The White House

With hate and demagogery

I hope you are proud

 

BUILD THAT WALL

Now in some places

DEPORT THEM ALL

Only in some cases

 

Refugees are candy

To your family

Your wife migrant

Oh the irony

 

Watch your step

Know your place

You still work for us

DON'T FORGET THAT

 

"I should have been nicer"

Said the Molitove coctail

Whom ate or political system

With fava beans and Chianti

 

I hop you are proud

You fucking loudmouth

But this isn't the end

Not by a long shot

 Dear Secret Service, By

 Dear Secret Service, By Brian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB and @Brianrrs37 on twitter)

 

Dear Secret Serice

My condolences to you

For the difficult job

You are about to do

 

Yes, all of us should

Protect the office

That part 

I do agree

 

But my heartfelt sympathies

To have to surround that man

Who won on hate and fear

By dividing the entire land

 

Dear Secret Service

I know you'll do your best

But I do not envy you

Having to protect such a pest

 

He "joked" about solutions

To get rid of rivals

Only to back off 

His threats of investigations

 

We on the left

Knew it was all an act

50 Republican law agents

Called that man dangerous

 

Dear Secret Service

We will help you out

By doing better in 4 years

To relieve you from that job

 

You're  protecting a rattlesnake

His campaign was always fake

But unlike his base

We know threats have no place

 

Dear Secret Service

I feel sorry for you

My condolences I extend

For the job you are about to do

 

Do it well 

I know you will

Maybe he'll learn his lesson

Not to peddle swill

 

Dear Secret Service

We will help you out

In 4 short years

At the voting booth

 

But we also request

You not give him a pass

Just like Nixon

Nobody is above the law

 

If he steps out of line

Please do the right thing

Protect the constitution

And bring him to the sunlight.

 

You are protecting a process

You are protecting an office

You are not protecting a gang member

Nobody is above the law

 

Dear Secret Service

I do not envy you

Having to protect that demagogue

Or the job you are about to do.

Birth Of A Demagogue, By

Birth Of A Demagogue, By Brian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB and @Brianrrs37 on twitter)

 

Is this 1915

Where the  blackface

Is Bannon

 

Leni Riefenstahl

Is the new

Feminism?

 

The Stone Mountain

Rises against

Arabs and Mexicans?

 

Castro And Trump

Nothing but

Bombastic trust fund rats

 

No, 

Trump cant yet

Be like that

 

Yet the laungage

The same 

Of nationalism

 

The language 

The same

Of populism

 

The pedlers 

Of fear

Their hero is here

 

Castro 

Stuck it 

To the rich?

 

Yet 

Had a net worth

Of 900 million

 

Trump

Said he'd

Stick up for workers

 

Bragged 

About

Not paying taxes?

 

Castro 

Threatened

Political rivals

 

Trump

Threatened

Political rivals

 

Is this 1915

Is this regression

We will see

 

Is this 

The rise

Of otherism?

 

The birth

Of that mindset

Frightens me

"Looky here

At Carrier"

What a nice con

You've got going on

 

Union workers

Just voted for

Reagan's busters

It's been done before

 

Scrotum Sachs

Up Trumps ass

Distracts you with

Burning flags

 

"Watch out for gays

Those evil liberals

Will take your

Guns away"

 

But the pay gap explodes

Everyone knows

Besides GOP supporters

The con going on

 

The poor rural white

And poor urban backs

Needlessly pitted against each other

While they feed corporate welfare

 

Drumpf Douche Bank

Invest in hate

While the rest of sciety

Pays the price.

No 

You are not

Amusing

Not in the least

 

Not in the way

You've run your campaign

Down that escalator

That very first day

 

There is no confusion

It is not amusing

"That's not what I said"

When actually it was

 

After the fact

You still drone on

On how unfair it is

Even though you won

 

"It's all rigged"

You said prior

Complain on a recount

Which is it liar?

 

You had fun

Trashing your rival

You dumfuck asshole

This isn't "Survivor"

 

This is real life

Your words have power

You are holding the world

In your hands

 

I don't think you know

Nor do you care

This isn't a game

Lives are at stake

 

I wish it were funny

All a laugh

I wish you were a bad dream

The world could wake up from

 

I've never seen

In my lifetime

A politician 

So full of themselves 

 

You fancy yourself

The likes of John Wayne

Orange Dirty Harry

You are insane

 

This is no joke

You stupid fool

Step down now

Before you get people killed.

 Resist, By Brian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB and @Brianrrs37 on twitter)

 

We now face

A precipice 

We need to start now

And resist

 

This is no game

No reality show

A dangerous man

Will control the codes

 

This is not left

This is not right

This has to be

Humanity's fight

 

The elephant has

Trampled us

Coporate stampeed

All to fleece us

 

A global race

For cheap labor

Big oil owns us

And bully us

 

And for what

Short term gain

Climate change deniers

Are all insane

 

We are facing

A dangerous abyss 

Pollution for profit

Will kill all of us

 

This is no game

No reality show

A dangerous man

Will control the codes

 

Paul in the Senate

Saul unmasked 

Fuel corporate wellfare

A gambling racket

 

Madoff elect

Without the charm

Carrier of disease 

Workers will harm

 

But it is global

The planet at stake

We must resist 

To avoid this fate.

 Python , By Brian37 (AKA

 Python , By Brian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB and @Brianrrs37 on twitter)

 

Slithered it has

Grown too long

For 36 years

Since Reagan launched 

 

The stealth of slow

Sells with forked tounge 

Waiting to spring

It takes everything

 

Blends in well

Says the right things

Until it is to late

And coils around you

 

Tax payers their prey

Trickle down they claim

Just chase that carrot

It will be ok

 

It's wrapped around you

You try to breath

You let out air

It constricts even more

 

They stupidly think

They they can convince

That they know best

But to them we are rats

 

Glorify dept

Glorify war

Their diet is greed

And they want more

"It will rust you

Dont ingest it"

Regardless if

It is all bullshit

 

Otherism

Birtherism

Archie Bunker

The orange madman

 

His knuckle  children

Blows into the mirror

Jacking off 

With his tiny hands

 

"Pay no attention

To the guy behind the curtain

I'm just an opportunist 

That is certain"

 

"Thank you tour"?

It should be 

"Thank you suckers"

Obviously!

 

The real water

All should want

Should be free from

His polluted swamp.

 Christian Kleptocracy, By

 Christian Kleptocracy, By Brian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB and @Brianrrs37 on twitter)

 

They rightfully rail

Against theocracy

But want to set up here

A Christian Kleptocracy

 

No one can

On a plantet of billions

End any religion

But it is a distraction

 

The Saudi Royals

Own oil 

They are not poor

They invest in the global market

 

"Capitalism"

Is not a form of gov

Gaddafii was a billionaire

Whom owned stock in GE

 

We dont need

A Christian Kleptocracy

We need livable wages

For global stability

 

Nobody is trying

Or nobody should

Try to end religion

By use of force

 

But it is regardless

An unholy marriage

To allow the world's rich

To use it against us

 

Islam does it

Jews as well

Pits humanity against each other

To protect the profits of war

 

It is late in the day

Nowhere to expand

The days of conquest

Must come to an end

 

No Exxon

You dont own us

Neither does Islam

Christians or Jews

 

I hate all warmongers

Trump and Bibi

Iran's Imams

All the same to me

 

We don't need

A Chrsitan Kleptocracy

Anymore than the east needs

Islamic theocracy

 

The world

Is at stake

Mutual distruction

Will be our fate

 

Just ask a Jew

Old enough to remember

What demagoguery can do

In massive numbers

 

The world cannot

Afford Trump or Putin

Neither's population

Should value either of them

 

Imagine John

Imagine a world

Where peace

Was our goal

 

Imagine Lennon

In that song

Image an end

To war profiteering

 

A Christian Kleptocracy 

Is no better than

The rich theocracies

Of Saudi Arabia or Iran

 "Darkest Potentcy" (ode to

 "Darkest Potentcy" (ode to Metalica song about pollution) By Brian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB and @Brianrrs37 on Twitter)

 

In 1880

We had the technology

Charles Fritts 

And the first solar cell

 

Exxon and Shell

Kochs on rotary phones

Prophets over planet

"Nothing left to kill"

 

We cant continue this

It's not about politics

The future of our survival

Depends on facing it

 

"Darkest potency"

Hubris of our greed

Demagogue's insanity

Our planet will surely bleed

 

KGB Thugs as well

Dirty technology dwell

Profits over planet

Will createa living hell

 

Friend and foe alike

Must put our differneces aside

Protect or species now

GOP can go to hell

 

This is no fucking game

Climate change is fact

The world needs to accept it

Before we seal our fate

 Orange Is The New Nixon,

 Orange Is The New Nixon, By Brian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB and @Brianrrs37 on FB)

 

His children sit in

On economic meetings

Obviously glaring

Spector of nepotism

 

Back in the U.S.S.R.

We know how happy you are

Daring them to hack

We have video of that

 

Never have we seen

The amount of sewage 

Clouds of suspicion 

Hanging over your head

 

It would be 

Far more healthy

If one were to lick

The rim of a clogged toilet

 

Watergate it will be

Multiplied by thousands

Worst of all

Your  tiny bloated ego

 

You perceive yourself  as grand

Is nothing more than

A deadly granade

Born out of narcissism

 

No you are not

The center of the planet

Nor can you be

An effective president

 

Damaged goods

Is what you are

Daddy abused you

Now you have power

 

There is far too much

Hanging over you

Far too much

To risk January 20th

 

Don't do it America

It isn't worth it

Don't let Orange Nixon

Get near the buttons

And lots of green nepotism

Under your bed

 In Case Of Trump Break

 In Case Of Trump Break Glass, By Brian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB and @brianrrs37 on twitter)

 

Original law

In the Constituition 

You can employ

To prevent our fall

 

Hamilton had

Him in mind

Brake the glass

It is emergency time

 

His intelect shallow

His promises hollow

His demagoguery

We must not swallow

 

Red writing on glass

In case of fire

Faithless electors

Prevent the pyre 

 

McConnell proved

Years before

Power not compromise

After 1 term Obama no more

 

Scalia passed on

The Constitution provides

The voters SCOTUS pick

Through the sitting president

 

Theft by obstruction

And delay

We now know

It is a power grab

 

In case of Trump

Hamilton knew

That dangerous man

We should not allow through

 

North Carolina

Is doing the same

Flipping out over 

Cooper's election

 

All of this

Is a result

Of the GOP 

Being exposed

 

They cant win

Based on substance

So all they have

Is gerrymandering and obstruction

 

Break that glass

It is an emergency

Hamilton would fear

A Trump presidency

 Canary In The Coal Mine,

 Canary In The Coal Mine, By Brian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet On FB and @Brianrrs37 on twitter)

 

"It's sour grapes

Get over it

Chicken little"

No, this time it's different

 

This isn't standard

Mudslinging

Since the days

Of Adams and Jefferson

 

The methane and 

Carbon Monoxide 

Are filling our mine

In toxic fashion

 

The apex 

A result

Of putting Archie Bunker

Above anything of substance 

 

Ryan now wants

To fine anyone

Who live streams congress

Transperancy gone

 

A smooth transition

Does not include

To act as if

You've already taken the oath

 

One party points

To the east

Condemns them for

The treatment of women

 

Yet  their assault 

Continues now in Ohio

Body autonomy 

To them is hollow

 

Cannibalized 

Even his own

During the primaries

They now cower to him

 

The talk is there

To investigate

But don't expect

The GOP

 

To do anything

But posture 

Because it's more important

For them to keep power

 

Mitt in the oven

Ran away

From his own words

Which were right to say

 

This is the face

Of consolidation

This is the face

Of western erosion 

 

They canary is not dead

At least not yet

Only increased pressure

Can prevent that

 

We will not let

One man lie

We will not let

One party decide

 

It is a warning

Not sour grapes

This is beyond

Economics

 

Braggart elect

Taking credit

For things he didn't do

And lies about it

 

The mine is filling

With deadly gas

Soon to be occupied

By a child with a match

 

I want to be wrong

Our fate is not written

But that only comes

With resistance and vigilance

 King Of Pain (Ode to Sting

 King Of Pain (Ode to Sting song) By Brian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB and @Brianrrs37 on Twitter)

 

There are 7 billion

In the world today

It's the same old thing

As yesterday"

 

There are trbes 

Fighting in a east hot spot

There are anti gays

In America's troff

 

I've stood here before

Looking at the pouring vain

Killing each other

Over a sky king

 

Ruing circles 

In their brain

Justify the absurd

It's insane

 

There's a kid blown up

In Alepo 

But our right wing

Don't care to know

 

There's an LGBT

Commiting suicide

Pence doesn't care

Gonna keep his pride

 

I've stood here before

Looking at the pouring vain

Katrina is punishment

For the gays

 

Killing each other 

Neelessly

Over something

No one can see

 

There's a kid dying

In Africa

Nobody to feed him

Only offer prayer

 

There's old man

In Arkansas

Lying on the floor

Dead from a heart attack

 

I've stood here before

Looking at the pouring vain 

Earthquakes, tornadoes

And hurricanes

 

50 million times

It happens worldwide

Every year

That many die

 

There's a lot of soiders 

On the battle field

Of all nations 

The rivals will kill

 

Praise their god

When they win

Pray over dead

Still thank him

 

"King of pain

He'll aways be

King of pain

King of pain"

Trojan Horse, By Brian37

Trojan Horse, By Brian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB and @Brianrrs37 on twitter)

 

Boycotts are great

Do those too

Like the NBA

And NCAA

 

But on

Inauguration Day

There most certainly 

Is another way

 

If you are one

Asked to partisipate

Afraid to say no

Think of this

 

In 85 

I did graduate

From Lee High School

And we did this

 

A hot June day

On the football feild

The dignitaries 

Sat on a platform stage

 

We'd step on the stage

From the right

Up the stairs 

And pass them by

 

Water pitchers

Were provided to them

To cool them off 

Under the hot sun

 

But unbenounced

To any of them

Our senior class

Had a plan

 

Bags of marbles

We'd palm one marble each

Of the pitchers

We'd drop them in

 

They were sweating

Because they coudn't drink

The dirty water

We dropped the marbles in

 

I am not suggesting

One start a riot

Only flip Celebrity Despot off

As you pass him by

 

Imagine what

Would happen if

Someone did that

In a parade in North Korea

 

Blows up in Tweets

Over late night skits

This is the asshole

We want controling our nukes?

 Trump is getting under

 Trump is getting under everyone's skin who is sane, not just me. He is a dangerous demagogue. We have seen that script before with McCarthism, Jim Crow and WW2 Germany. He is not a left or right issue, he is a national and global stability issue.

 The Democrats greatest fear isn't that Trump will be a bad president, their greatest fear is that he will be a good president.

 

   Oh speaking of WW2, was it a Republican President who signed an executive order that was responsible for having Japanese Amercans arrested and sent to internment camps ?  Was it a Republican President who deliberately targeted civilians in fire bombing raids on German and Japanese cities ?

 Nobody is our should

 Nobody is our should advocate for a police state dumbfuck. You not liking that others exist and other classes vote is your fucking baggage, not mine.

Voting to protect others equally isn't an assault on your rights. Voting to decide OUR laws including tax laws, ISN'T robbery. You are the dipshit that supports a growing Kleptocracy asshole. Take your bullshit crybaby economics "fuck you I got mine" bullshit and shove it up your ass. Playtime is over. Celebrity Despot is fucking with our economy, proping up the same assholes who created Bush's bubble, not to metion being a fucking vile peice of shit to multiple groups who did not deserve it. NO and fuck you. I will not allow you to get away with falsely painting others as evil, or fascists. Nobody put a gun to that fucker's head and forced hime to be a fucking dick to people who didn't deserve it. If you support that asshole, too bad.

 

GOP loves harping on how PC is bad, so how is that for not being PC? FUCK TRUMP he is a vile human being.

    Today the Fourth Reich began.  Trump is now President.  Our new Orange Over Lord has arrived to destroy Obama's "Hope and Change" and replace it with MAGA.   In just a few short days the so-called progress of the last eight years will be whisked away like smoke on a windy day.  

 You can't stop it, it just grows stronger. The proof of that momentum is sitting in the White House at this very moment.  Pepe laughs at you while he soaks up your delicious rage.

Facts' Lives Matter, By

Facts' Lives Matter, By Brian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB and @Brianrrs37 on Twitter)

 

You did one good thing

Kellyanne Con way

You brought 1984

Back to the front page

 

Spicer

The final solution near

These are the voyages

Of delusion in action

 

2016 hottest year

On record

Not a political debate

Facts not in dispute

 

Alturnative facts

Ok fine

I am dating Agelina Jolie

Why don't you believe me?

 

Purging dissent

Of those who protect

Our natural resources

From corporate polluters

 

The fuel industry

Has a global monopoly

Stuck on old pony express

Antiquated technology

 

It does not have

To be seen as a threat

To accept the facts

To make progress

 

The short term gains

Are not worth it

Our planet will pay

More lives it will hurt

 

Do not back down

Do not give in

Our planet is well

Worth defending

 

Those in the NOAA

And EPA

Those in the science

Community

 

Those who know

The Big Brother in Chief

Whose hubris gravity

Not seen in our history

 

It is a presidency

We cannot aford

Celebrity Despot

Is a danger to the world

 "The Opposition Party" By

 "The Opposition Party" By Brian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB and @Brianrrs37)

 

Those words 

From Bannon

Are most chilling

And frightening

 

Attack on journalists

A despot's actions

Attept to muzzle

The watchdog of government

 

He'd have us believe

Its to weed out conspiracy

Which is the hight of hypocrisy

Considering the rag he ran

 

He doesn't care

About Weekly World News

He used that garbage

To get where he is

 

This is to silence

The Washington Post

Who exposed Watergate

Got Nixon deposed 

 

This is an attack

On the memory of Cronkite

An assault on Murrow

Should give journalists a fright

 

Slavery is freedom

Dept is wealth

This is the double speak

Orwell warned us about

 

When a politician 

Vilifies the free press

The watchdogs of goverment

No one should rest

 

The alarm is sounding

The danger is growing

It is no longer about party

Or economics

 

Associated Press

CNN International

Reuters World News

And the Network News

 

Chicago Tribune

Dallas Morning News

Atlanta Journal Constitution

Their threat is aimed at you

 

Dont let Bannon

Or POTUS staff

Pawn it off

As another gaff

 

They are not

Going after "fake news'

They used propaganda

To win with their ruse

 

Take them seriously

Take them to task

Be the watchdog

Preserve the free press
