Power Trash

The pen is still mightier than the sword
Which is why they kill journalists
And whistle-blowers

Hang by shreds
Of evidence
Left by those revealing
Before their death sentence

While the powers that be
Figured
Continuation of misery
Will erase from the pages of history
Their greed and corruption
For they also strive to be free
Of themselves
As they carry on
Fight or flight
Garbage

Greatness

Greatness To be sure My language art Replicates itself Just as Picasso Duplicates himself Without remorse Carting off the horse In a Lamborghini Filmed for the unsuspecting By Fellini Composed by classics Like Rossini In a world of comparisons I am dreamy But not without steamy thoughts Which always get me into trouble As the bubble bursts It's a fine start The illusion reveals A delusion Delivered with a mild fart As such, I must keep it to myself My greatness, it seems, must stay on the shelf Where it remains as a shining example To those who wish for a stardom burst Stand with those merely ample
