The Boggling Facts

As my mind is boggled,

Boggled I will be,

Begging to stop the boggling of what I see,

Boggling is what they do,

Boggling me and you,

Boggling what do I mean?

Boggling you have seen,

Boggling they think we believe,

Once the boggling has stopped then life will be true,

So why are we boggled or baffled if we believe what they say,

Boggling is the governments way,

Boggle us here,

Boggle us there,

Boggle us everywhere,

So let’s stop the boggling,

Or as what our government likes to say,

Alternative fact by the way…

Gratuity Rex

He told his driver to take him to the airport

and since he was the driver

he drove to the airport

and he thought about tipping the driver

the conversation was friendly

enough

but something about the driver irked him

some people just don’t get on

so he decided to be polite

but firm

unloading his own bags

from the trunk

and since the airplane would not be invented

for another half century

he had to sit in the airport terminal

for quite a while

before his

flight.

If You Don’t —-

How do I move foreword

If you don’t tell me

Show me how to start

How do I do something better

If you don’t light on

How do I step right or left

If you sound less

How do I brood over

If you don’t hang me in blessed

How do I snap the glory of nature

If you don’t  accompany me

How do I laugh from heart

If you don’t open your eyes to me

Soft and see the blush

How do I think the world

If you don’t hug

All the things will run away behind

If you don’t respond

All the things are in dust

If you don’t come to me with the face of love.

Ethics of Space Exploration

So I finally learned the ethics and politics

of space exploration.

Try to find life at the far corners

of unforgiving solitude. Shoot the kids

in Yemen and Afghanistan.

Go bonkers about the discovery of habitable

planets. Bomb the shit out of Aleppo

to make it  look like poor people’s Mars.

Hope the aliens from space are nice

and friendly. Kill the brothers from another country

if they drink beer in your bar.

So the space moralists told me,

“Nobody owns the moon”.

Damn fucking right!

I told them nobody owns Earth either.
