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.

 "Trump Of The Will", By Brian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB and @Brianrrs37 on twitter)

 

Leni would take notice

Of your frothing of the crowd

Loyalty demanded blindly

Arms raised at your rally

 

The orange demogogue

Scapegoats everyone else

She'd be very impressed

At the goosesteps you produce

 

Apocolypictic vision

Your opra in the Teifland 

Lay them out on stretchers

Make us great again

 

The Night of Broken Glass

You seek to replicate

The targets now hispanic

Or from Arab states

 

You think it is a jet of water

Splitting open earth

Touching the sky of truth

Spittle is all it is

 

Now you cancel a rally

Siting public safety

Like Leni's late apology

For what was done to Gypsies 

 

Tag der Freit, Unsere Wehrmacht

Is what you'd like to call it

The only thing you're missing

Are biplanes flying overhead

  

 

Somtimes I post out of fear of losing the poem, "Tag der Freit" is supposed to read "Tag der Freiheit".

Just like Trump, dodge the actual point and make shit up.
You deserve the attention of the world. You'd get blasted by everyone so hard your head would spin. Every single one of your heroes would denounce you as an insane retard who's just as blustery and full of lies as Trump, but without anything to show for it. The proof that Brian is useless garbage lies in the fact that Brian is identical to Trump in every aspect of import, while Trump is rich and running for office while Brian is poor and lives with his mommy.

 Road Trip, By Brian37 (AKA

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

 

The tapestry 

Of the Illiad 

Media and Gilgimesh 

Of Oedipus too

 

Of Hogwarts and Jedis

It has to be said

Prophets and saviors

Will also be dead

 

It churned inside

Long ago

To the surface 

Before it left

 

A burning outpost

At the ege of the spiral 

The real epic journey

Is what we should value

 

A cosmic hurricane

From one end to the other

It's trip has been

Around far longer

 

Just one of these cars

Takes that time

100,000 years

At the speed of light

 

And here we are

Swords and selfishness

Not wanting to face

It's all we have

 

Not that I can

Or anyone should

Blugeon the other

To get what we want

 

Conquests outdated

No room to expand

A priority shift

Should be at hand

 

To know our place

In this context

That all of this

Was not put here for us

 

Tell them photons

On which we depend

Plant's photosynthesis

Producing the air we breath

 

Your road trip much longer

Than the stories we conjure

We can do much better

To extend our ride further

 

The final epic

We shoud accept

Is that this is

The only home we have

Fuck you! Don't equate me to that sicko and weren't you the one who said he was smarter than me"? Which is it man? Is he the good guy or bad guy? Make up your fucking mind.

 

He's the bigot. He's the fear monger. He's the demagogue. I have no interest in creating a godless utopia, by law or violence, but yea, if I can convince through debate or ridicule that you don't need a religion, yes, I will employ that. Blasphemy is NOT the same as religiously justified violence.

You know that. I am not calling for mass deportation of my fellow humans. I welcome any non violent human here, Mexican or Muslim or Hindu or Chinese. That still does not make every claim a person my claim true. And claims as ideas do not deserve blind value nor do they deserve to be free from gettiing picked on. Now, asshole, if you are so insistant on equating me to that jackass, and if you want to paint yourself as the bigger man, fine, then put up or shut up yourself. Because you've been taking all sorts of swipes at me for years now. Cant have it both ways moron. If you are going to verbally take punches at me then don't be a whiny snot when I punch back verbally only. Now, unlike Trump, I would NEVER imply anyone physically harm my fellow human, not even you. 

 

I am not calling for a ban on war refugees. You like theists get butthurt when someone offends you. No you fucking brat, I am not even interested in silencing you or physically harming you. Again, this all started because I didn't kiss your ass.

 

You need to grow the fuck up.

Don't be exactly like that 'sicko' and I won't. But you are so I will. You are exactly like Trump. An uneducated, bigoted, retarded, egotistical maniac with no solid grasp of reality. You could be brothers.

Brian37 wrote:

He is. Millions of Americans believe him. Noone believes you. You are both wrong, but he not only doesn't live with his mommy, he has convinced other idiots to follow him. Something you can't ever do, because you're an even bigger asshole than Trump is. Even Bill Maher has said Trump is a nice guy when you take away the camera and the podium. You're always an asshole to everyone.

Brian37 wrote:

So are you. Excepting #3 of course, you aren't smart enough to be a demagogue.

Brian37 wrote:

Bullshit. You hate theists as much as Trump hates immigrants. You have advocated violence on multiple occasions.

Brian37 wrote:

You can't.

The rest of your post is just repetition of lies you've been spouting for months or years and I've already proved it dozens of times over.

Trump is better than you. Grow up.

 "Mahjong" By Brian37 (AKA

 "Mahjong" By Brian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB and @Brianrrs37 on twitter).

 

Somtimes

At the breakfast place

Mom and I play

Table top football while we both wait

 

She anticipates her gyro

I and so do I

She double taps

On all her tries

 

Grin she does

She knows the rules

Things have changed

Since I was in school

 

Expected she did

When I was a kid

To always sit up straight 

And always be serious 

 

That never meshed

With me at all

I was sensitive

And wanted to goof

 

But now we are older

We've grown much closer

I love that change

I see in her

 

Every so often

My cell will ring

A brief pause

After I answer

 

"You win Win Win WIN  WIN"

Is what she plays

At the end of Mahjong

Gives me a smile each day

 

I want to make that

My ring tone

For every time

I answer my cell phone.

"Hoboken, Mahjong Part

"Hoboken, Mahjong Part Deux", (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB and @Brianrrs37 on twitter)

 

There is a small town

North of my mom

She likes to shop

I hate to go

 

One lane each way

Mom and pop signs

Mismatched in size

Heavy traffic, hardly  aesthetic 

 

"Take me there"

I roll my eyes

To understand 

Here's the inside

 

Twas an old toon

Sappy and cute

Bugs stumbled on

A lost penguin's persuit

 

"Where is your home"

Bugs did not know

Consulted an encylopedia 

And what do you know

 

"SOUTH POLE!"

Bugs discovered

To his horror

Lots of ground to be covered

 

But dutifly so

He made the trek

Trudged the penguin 

To his homestead 

 

But a upon arival

The penquin did cry

In the form of ice cubes

"What now?" Bugs inquired

 

The penquin prodeced 

A circus flyer 

"Hoboken NJ"

Preforming was his real desire

 

So now you know

What's in my head

"Take me there"

When she asks.

 

"Hoboken, I'm dying"

To borrow Bug's line

I'll take you for jellybeans

Anytime

 

Jellybeans? 

Not in the toon

Is it about Reagan

NO, nothing to do

 

Nothing to do

With anything at all

But to get a smile

Out of my mom

He he he, keep it up asshole, you suffer the same selection bias and sample rate error on par with delusional theists. This chidish bullshit all stems from me not kissing your ass. Get your GPS fixed because the road to "give a fuck" isn't here.

Brian repeats his errors in the false belief that attempting the same tactic in the same scenario will somehow eventually lead to a different result. In reality, he just proves how stupid he is. Lmfao. Just like a theist in every way.

 Bicycle Factory, By

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

 

John looked puzzled

On the assembly line

Consulted the manual

About the part's place

 

"Where does it go?"

He asked his co worker

Sarah responded

"I'll look in my manual"

 

"Insert bolt A

Into bar B"

John responded

"That's not what I see"

 

"My manual says"

Sarah cut him off

"You have the wrong one

"Mine is our boss"

 

"That's not right

This one says

Do it this way

Or we shall fight"

 

Then all the workers

Divided in unions

Picked up wreches

And threatened each other

 

"DO IT MY WAY"

"It says so here"

"I have the right manual

You better beware!"

 

The riots started

On the factory floor

Broken bones

And bloody lips

 

And two floors up

An empty executive office

Unoccupied

There was no boss

 

The bikes inconsistant

They all looked different

The workers groveled 

For the boss's attention

 

"You're on my side

Pick my union

You gave me the right

To beat them into submission"

 

No quality control

The output suffered

Bikes missing spokes

Others no seats

 

But the different unions

Had the best virtue

Loyalty to 

The one true manual

 

The factory floor

In stubborn crimson

The infinite riots

Would not convince them

 

That office is empty

It should be obvious

After all this time

The riots don't stop

 

He could if he wanted

Adress you all

Without the confusion

And make it clear

 

"Manditory meeting

At 5 pm

All the workers

Must attend"

 

But the CEO

Never shows up

To end the riots

Between the unions

Nope, I don't have fictional invisible friends. And for all the criticism and blasphemy you've done, you should have "hypocrite" tatooed on your forehead. I'd say murdering people over claims you can't prove and old books written in a scientifically ignorant past is repeating the same behavior expecting different results. 

 

There once was a poster named Vastet, 

A jealous and petty asshat

Has nothing to add, he's just mad

Because I didn't kiss his ass

 

Boo hoo, poor you.

Brian tries to lie, but we all know the truth. Everyone Brian speaks to is an invisible 'friend' with opinions and views that don't belong to the actual person he's talking to (or about). Brian will never be anything but a theist.

 You Need A Time Out, By

 You Need A Time Out, By Brian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB and @Brianrrs37 on twitter)

 

You do it in the classroom

You do it in the car

Even in the movie theater

Everywhere you are

 

Your parents feed you sweets

Thousands of years ago

Making you violently hyper

Kicking the backs of seats

 

Sent to detention

From biology class

Kicking the backs of seats

While others value facts

 

You sit in the back

Delusional entitled driver

Kicking the backs of seats

Ready to crash the car

 

Dare we even try

 To enjoy a movie

You kick the backs of seats

Wanting to censor disagreement 

 

You're tantrums would not matter

If it were not for the shatter

Of all the blood splatter

From kicking the backs of seats

 

In the candy isle

You shout at highest volume

You'll kill the other kids

To have that sugar high

 

Kicking the backs of seats

Proof of insecurity

That you have yet to grow up

Give up on old absurdities

 

Then you get upset

When somone turns around

The adults in front of you

Demand you tone it down

 

Stop kicking everyone's seat

You don' have to go away

Just stop throwing fits

Everytime you don't get your way

 "Snakes In Your Eyes", By

 "Snakes In Your Eyes", By Brian37(AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB and @Brianrrs37 on twitter) An ode to Margo Price.

 

Oedipus was warned

Yet still ignored

The Kochs on top

The Orange man too

 

Mr Hanauer

One of the few

Is warning the plutocrats

Of pitchforks overdue 

 

The Price is right

Margo's insight

Investing in war

Humanity's blight

 

They get on that jet

But alwayas forget

Coach or first class

This ride is it

 

Diamonds don't feed

All the oil we drill

Drug prices go up

It's marketing shrill

 

There's only one class

It's always been

Put them in their place

So we can begin

 

So we can begin

To help those in need

To better the planet

To end selfish greed

(end)

Thank you Margo Price, when I first heard your song "About To Find Out" I nearly cried, and still want to give you a hug. You represent the best empathy in humanity, like Woodie Guthrie

 Cell Towers and Road Work,

 Cell Towers and Road Work, Mohjong Trice By Brian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB and @Brianrrs37 on twitter)

 

This quite a bit

More serious

For I don't want

Our moments to quit

 

You are my lifeline

Nobody else

Would do for me

What you do at my age

 

And beyond that

Yet another trip

Up to Duke

For your annual checkup

 

We'd pass tall cell towers

You know I hate hights

You'd joke with me

Go change the lights

 

We'd pass road construction

Orange and white barrels 

One was tipped over

A child's voice you projected

 

"Poor barrel

Someone help me

Pick me up

Don't leave me be"

 

Further down

One in islolation

In the same voice

"I'm lonely and have no friends"

 

As great as that is

We still argue

Like Howard on Big Bang

Does with his mom

 

We don't hold grudges

We never will

I wish you would

Put your health first

 

When you raise

Your voice to me

For putting things

In the wrong place

 

That I can handle

And when you do

I know you are 

Your normal self

 

I want more jokes

So take care of yourself

Listen to others

When it comes to your health

 

I want you to yell at me

Over stupid things

So please listen to others

When you have surgury 

 

Don't get ahead

Of your self

Take your time

And slow down

 

I want you around

To yell at me

That is always

Temporary 

 

I want those cell towers

I want those barrels 

I want more Mohjong 

I want our quarels 

 

Yes Felix 

I am your Oscar

And I want you

Around as long as possible

 Never The Right Time, By

 Never The Right Time, By Brain37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB and @Brianrrs37 on twitter)

 

No you do not

Have a monopoly

On any event

Even national tragedy 

 

You pulled this crap

On 9/11 

Nearly 3,000

Not all of them Christian

 

Some dare to blame

A tornado or hurricane

As the punishment of God

And we're expected to refrain

 

A child gets molested

Butchered and dumped

We question your prayers

After events of such

 

Just like Newtown

The NRA

"Now's not the time

For this debate"

 

And now a Saint

Will be laid to rest

A fender bender

Fight lead to his death

 

"We'll pray for him

And his wife who survived"

And someone argued

"Now is not a good time"

 

Never seems to be

Ever a good time

They hide beind 

Tragedy

 

Yet when the skeptic

Suffers the same strife

When they lose a loved one

We are still expected to be quiet

 

It is not your mourning

I object to

Certainly it is

What we all do

 

You've spent your life

"warning" or "threateng"

Even outside this

Tragic event

 

That the only way

We can be saved

Is if we find God

Before it is too late

 

How dare you

Preach and sell

Acting as if

We don't feel pain too

 

When my mom has health issues

Or my best friend

A cant speak my mind

Even then

 

EVEN THEN

In my moment of pain

I cannot say

'There is no god, go away"

 

If in person

Face to face

If on private property

Yes refrain

 

I'm not talking 

At all about that

I'm talking about

Any news event

 

No you don't

Get to silence me

Commenting on

Any major story

 

Prayer did not

Stop Hebdo

Prayer did not

Save that player

 

Yes it is tragic

Nobody wants it

But even in death

There's no magic to it

 

Do not use

Freedom of press

To set up taboos

Even in death

 

You own no patent

You have no right

Even in death

To monopolize 

 

Even upon

My own dimize 

After I'm gone

Peolpe will cry

 

But here's the thing

I wont be alive

To hear any offending

About my life

 

Why should I care

Not that I could

After I am dead

Who would you hurt?

 

Of course in the moment

Face to face

You'd hurt those who mourn me

In that private setting

 

But outside of that

In a public event

Nobody owns

The right to silence

 

To silence others

To set up taboos

Even when

It's not about you

 

Even when

It's just about logic

Lacking of evidence

And nothing personal

 

Never a right time?

I disagree

When it comes to news

We are all free.

 He Gave Me The Bird, By

 He Gave Me The Bird, By Brian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB and @Brianrrs37 on twitter)

 

Look Mr cardinal 

I know you don't know better

I know you're simply

Doing your thing

 

But at 12:30 am

Outside my window

Singing 

As loud as you can

 

It's jarring dude

You woke me up

I know you want to get laid

I get it

 

But 12:30am

I put on my shorts

Went outside

And shook the tree

 

Shook the tree

I thought you were in

But you smart little booger

Were in the next one

 

You shut up for a second

But I went inside

And you went back

To singing again

 

Dude, I get it

You want to get laid

But damn it dude

You were louder than my TV

 

None of my pounding

On my wall

Or shouting at you

Worked at all

 

I felt like George

On the treadmill 

"JANE STOP THIS CRAZY THING"

Your singing was driving me insane

 

Oh and you crickets too

You sneaky fucks

Hide and chirp

Chinese water torture

 

Dude, I know you don't know better

I know it is spring

I know you want to get laid

But damn it, I'm trying to sleep!

The Great Escape, By Brian37

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

 

Your prison cell

Escaped your rock

Your Alcatraz

Storm drain you found

 

Cleaver you

Figured out

Of James Bond legend 

Inky's plot

 

You're the toothpaste

In the tube

And squeze yourself

Through tiny holes

 

Whatever your beak

Can slip through

Your body follows

Egg sucked into the bottle

 

Yes you are now legend

Making worlwide news

But some of this reporting

Is missng something

 

The romance of freedom

I think is lost

To the reality

Of the drain's possible contents

 

Pollution and objects

Within it's path

Could get it sick

Or get it stuck

 

Is this really

Another Nemo

Or simply humans

Projecting again

 

Inky, 

For your own sake

I hope you made it

All the way

 

But I'm picturing

In this process

An episode of the Simpsons

And Lisa's trip

 

Through a nature walk

Where she encounters

An articulated chipmunk

She procedes to talk

 

She smiles and chats

Thinking happy thoughts

Nature is wonderful

Then she moves on

 

But does not see

The owl swoop down

Behind her back

The chipmunk gone

 

Oh we laugh

It is a cartoon

But this escape by Inky

From Alcatraz

 

Was very real

And why we'd like to think

Inky made it

All the way

 

What about

All the dangers

That may have dwelled

In that drain?

So many wasted hours.

So many wasted hours. Instead of sucking at poetry so much, Brian could have actually learned about everything so he could stop being wrong about everything.

 Better Get Macco, By

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

 

Earl Scheib 

Is willing to hide

With hollow Bondo 

The rusted lies

 

The transmission

Of the used car

The naked assertion

Of a magical ignition 

 

You cling to that rust bucket

With your theology

In front of the lot

Slim tall flailing pulpit salesman

 

Oh you've restored it well

With fresh paint

Buffed waxed

With elaborite tripe

 

Better get Macco

To hide your bad logic

Thats all you can do

To sell your old junk

 

Your loud shouting adds

Of doomsday

Buy this car

See me on Sunday

 

Yes you are slick

With your dirty tricks

But on the skeptic

They simply don't work

 

Your MSRP

Is still antiquity

That dotted line

I will not sign

 

I know too much

To buy your sales pitch

The rust remains

I see through your paint job

 Pipsqueak, By Brain37

 Pipsweak, By Brain37  (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB and @Brianrrs37 on twitter)

 

Thanks alot Neil

You kicked the dog

The little kids love

You big meany

 

That farmboy

With his telescope

Didn't find it

Just so you could demean it

 

Who do you think you are?

You made it leave the big boys

Then you have the nerve

To step foot in their hometown

 

I saw you in that barber's chair

Lost your nerve

When he put the razor

To your face

 

What did that dog

Ever do to you

For you to down grade it

To a dwarf?

 

You kicked a pipsqueak

Not a pitbull, not a rottweiler

A Chihuahua

You  enemy of Disney

 

I saw your arrest photo

You deserve it

You big meany

You made the children cry

 

Ball bearing and so what?

It's round damn it, round!

And all it wanted to do

Is hang out with it's bigger friends

 

You big meany!

 Ferret Face, By Brian37

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

 

Hyper nationalistic

Blindly patriotic

Blaming refugees 

In war they try to flee

 

But your mistress Margarate 

Exists everywhere

The Imams who control Iran

Bibi's carpet bombing plan

 

Mobilizing the fear of Ted

Armies of their gods have plans

Selling religious tribalism

Hospitals and graveyards fill

 

Frank is on a Cruz

Condemning gays excused

Their equal rights refused

Giving doctors needless work

 

Must we always see

Another as our enemy

Something is wrong with that

Humanity is all we have

 

Go away Ferret Face

In in your uniform

In whatever holy clothing

You seek to glorify war

 

May the right wing die

Armies they all have

Suposse all sides try

Humanity's common plight

 

Go away Frank

Where ever you exist

Blind worship of the state

Or of any god we must resist

 "Terminator", By Brian37

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

 

Skynet never existed

Your time machine

Is all in your brain

Reason you've resisted

 

Your magic programer

Has a variety of names

And the underword and hell

It needs threats to sell

 

The cosmic hero

Needs a ground villian 

Just like John and Sarah

Need the Terminator

 

Naraka is where you're punished

With endless Avici

Langusining for eternity 

Some hells have a purgetory 

 

And whence Buddhism arose

The similar penal codes

Exist in the land of Ghandi

Like the code of Hammurabi 

 

In the land of New Deli

In a time long ago

It's laws had particular punishments

For everything you did

 

Detailed accounts of hell

Garuda Purana sell

Punishments for sins

Are the stories that it tells

 

In other parts of the world

The same stories are told

The cyclical battle

Between the light and darkness

 

A god of death they had

In the Aztec world

Mactantchtli is the name

Goddesss Tlazolteol caused carnal sin

 

The world of darkness 

The land of the rising sun

Yomi is the destination

Where all the living end

 

Niether a paradise

Or a threat of hell

Yomi many believe

Is a gloomy state of limbo

 

Yomi-no-Kuni

The land of the underground

Vs Takama-ga-hara

The floating bridge of heaven

 

Up and down it is

Sky vs ground

Bible and Quran

Are simply different versions

 

There is no Terminator

Without John or Sarah

You cant have a hero

Without a super vilian

 Ok Tough Guy, By Brian37

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

 

Yes you can

Assert your power

Impress everyone

At the top of the tower

 

Oh how conceted

And short sighted

It's temporary success

In cosmic time

 

Can the rich man

Survive sub zero temps

Can the holy man 

Survive scoarching heat

 

Can the dictator

Survive 300 degrees fahrenheit

Can the Prime Minister

Survive minus 458 

 

Oh how tough you are

With your tribal wars

Temporary succes

And still ignore

 

Long ago 

And long before

A creature so small

Beats you all

 

Microscopic

Found in dew

It's been around

Longer than you

 

Cretaceous/Paleogene

Was the first disaster

Where lots of life

Did not go on after

 

Triassic/Jurassic

Catyclysm faced too

Even more life

Ended too

 

Permian/Triassic

Life got hit

By another bullet

And that was it

 

Late Devonian

Took more out

But this tiny guy

Kept going on

 

Ordvician/Silurian

Did as well

Reduce the gene pool

But it did well

 

Still haning out

In morning dew

Tardigrades

Outlast you

 

So pontificate

And pound your chests

Over religion and boarders

And politics

 

All you tough guys

Have nothing on it

The water bear has survived

5 mass extinctions

 "Take A Bullet", By

 "Take A Bullet", By Brian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB and @Brianrrs37)

 

You've been arround

For millinia 

With different names

And changing weapons

 

And he sits up there

With folded arms

As you gleefully murder

For your different clubs

 

You'll take a bullet

To protect Jesus

You'll take a bullet

To protect your Mosques

 

You'll take a bullet

To protect the Wailing Wall

And your bronze age books

One and all

 

Is that all you've got

Is divine brawn

Mr Graham, Bibi

Mr Imam?

 

You're all willing to die

For what you believe

So where is this 

Lasting peace?

 

I don't see it

In the slightest

All I see

Is needless violence

 

This three headed monster

Is the same King

The god of Abraham

Demands more kiilling

 

Anti intellect

Anti science

Take more bullets

Create more violence

 

Is this the best

Your gods can do

Get you to kill

Till our planet is through?

 

Take your bullets

And bronze age logic

And your tribalism

And burry it.

 

Nobody is

Going anywhere

But no more death

Over bronze age logic

 "Orange Colostomy Bag" By

 "Orange Colostomy Bag" By Brian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB and @Brianrrs37 on twitter)

 

His vile bile

Is all he has

Of no substance

Of no class

 

Jerry Springer

It' all an act

Selfish narcissist 

Orange colostomy bag

 

Mexicans are rapists

Vets are losers

Periods and penis size

Are his best moves

 

Loves the word "Crooked"

With all his failures

Stakes, airlines, and a "university"

He's being sued over

 

His base is base

Franklin and Hegee

Fox and the GOP

Doomsday loons and science deniers

 

It would be laughable

If he were not running

If he were a mere nut

On the street corner

 

A peddler of fear

No one should fear

The orange colostomy bag

Speaks out of his rear

 

He's gas on the fire

Republicans lit

Same demagoguery

Same old bullshit

 

He cant win on substance

He's got no policy 

Forgien or domestic

Its a game you see

 

"I know you are

But what am I"

The schoolyard bully

Is what the sane see

 

The skunk in a suit

Looks in the mirror

Masturbates over himself

Thinking he's better

 

Orange Colostomy Bag

Has no business 

Holding our highest office

Or even being dog catcher

 

Your vile bile

Is the real stench

Orange colostomy bag

Will lose in the end

 Hanna Is Not Montana, By

 Hanna Is Not Montana, By Brian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB and @Brianrrs37 on twiter)

 

Everyone knows 

How it goes

At the end of the year

Inspection comes due

 

If you dont

The bubble gum lights

In blue and red

Might ticket you

 

So I procrastinated

Like many do

Looking for

An inspection overdue

 

I'd been to this place

In years past

But the guy said

The time he did not have

 

So he pointed out

Down the road

Another place

Where I could get it done

 

"A country mile"

Is so true

It isn't a block

For for me and you

 

I left his place

The NASCAR pit

Oil cans

On dispay

 

But he knew me

From years prior

All the inspections

He'd done before

 

"I  cant do it

But Barnet's can

Inspect your van

Lickity split"

 

So I left

Down the road

In hopes the inspection

Would be done

 

Followed his directions

But almost got lost

Turned around and breifly stoped

Asked for directions that got me there

 

When I approached

I looked to my left

A two bay garage

Out of Deliverance 

 

But my van needed inspection 

So I pulled in

Gas pumps not in order

I thought I was in the third world

 

Chainsaw massacare

Is all I could think

Desparate for my inspection

I still pulled in

 

Dusty driveway

Anologue pumps

Spider web glass

Covering them

 

I step out of my van

And walk into the lobby

Expecting a guy

In a butcher's smock

 

I suddenly look down

At the faded tile

And veiw a PARROT

Seem to be two feet tall

 

Huge beaks 

Those things have

I decided not

To make sudden moves

 

Accross the faded tile

It scampered to me

I was thinking about his beak

And what it could do to me

 

I sat there froze

Not moving an inch

Just like a dog

You don't know

 

But it warmed up

Very quickly 

Rubbing my leg

Like my cat does

 

Paced back and forth

Between me and the lady

That needed an inspection

Who came in before me

 

 

The owner came in

But I did not notice

He had more birds

On his premises

 

Hanna was

The parrot's name

The mechanic 

Mistook him for a girl

 

The owner told him

To go back to his cage

So that he could

Get his work done

 

A pink/white hew

Were his feathers

We played a game

Of twist our necks

 

Why the name Hanna

Well, just like my cat

If you want to determine sex

You must ask a vet.

 

Turns out Hanna

Was not the only pet

At the place 

I got my inspection

 

I had totally missed

The room in the back

Behind the office

With more cute birds

 

And even when

I pulled in

Had totally missed

The Parrot on the pump

 

I spent my time

Talking to Hanna

Tilting my head

As he did the same

 

Hanna turned out to be

Part of a suplement

Pet store to make up

For a two car garage

 I'ts My Chair Too, By

 

I'ts My Chair Too, By Brian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB and @Brianrrs37 on twitter)

 

Listen you

You furry squatter

Take up all the space

Thinking it's only yours

 

Complain 

When I nudge you

To sit down

At my computer

 

And spraw accross

The entire bed

Leaving me

With no space

 

Listen Mr

I don't mind sharing

But it is not

Solely yours

 

It's my chair

It's my bed

I don't mind

Sharing it with my friend

 

Silly little fusser

Meowing at me

As if you own

Everything

 Neither, By Brian37 (AKA

 Neither, By Brian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB and @Brianrrs37 on twitter)

 

Take the elevator up

To the top floor

And here is what

You are in for

 

No pain

Or so they claim

Eternal bliss

And happiness

 

How is it me

If thus the case

If I cant feel

What I did?

 

If I can't

Mourn up there

If I can't

Think for myself

 

If I can't 

Choose to leave

If I can't 

Question or think

 

If all I do

Is praise one being

And never get bored

Is that me?

 

The other "option"

Is not corrective

An act of revenge

Not of justice

 

Eternal pain

And for what?

Even the mere infraction

Of picking the wrong club

 

Neither are

Appealing to me

The good news is

We don't have to worry

 

The fictional elevator

Has no floors

No penthouse party

No basement to dwell

 

They're mere motifs

Of tribal kingships 

Where loyalty was rewarded

And dissent was punished 

 

How evil these constructs

Of heaven and hell

Two prison cells

To shackle oneself

 

"Obey me or else"

Is not by consent

It is not love

Not one bit

 

The fictional elevator

Has no floors

No penthouse party

No basment to dwell

Tie a bloody ribbon 

Around the old NRA

Its been decades since

Reagan and Brady

 

If you talk about us

Get off the bus

And don't put the blame 

On me

 

Neat little shell game

You worshipers have

Avoiding the flooded market

The NRA protects

 

It's the mentally ill

It's the terrorists

But we never blame

Our flooded market

 

Its the criminals

Who don't obey laws

Well neither do speeders

But we still have speed limits

 

Car accidents

Kill far more

As if we shouldn't 

Multi task at all

 

Other bad stuff happens

So forget about this

Collateral damage

Is the excuse they give

 

They bemoan rights

As if we still lived

In an age of muskets

Is all we still have

 

Imagine if

We still had today

The same regulations

For air flight

 

If  Boing 

Didn't have to obey

Modern standards

But Wright Brothers way

 

Do me one favor

You right wing nuts

Dont fucking claim

It's about rights

 

Its about

Selfishness

The same doomsday prattling

Religion sells best

 

If you cant have

All the laws you want

If you cant have

A free for all market

 

If someone else

Dares to vote

If they seek 

To reduce gun deaths

 

Tony's ribbon 

Isn't yellow

It is red

Of Montana's value

 

Hostage taking

And racketeering

Having nothing to do

With problem solving.

 Allergies, By Brian37 (AKA

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

 

He knew the allergies

Of 500 kids

Legal carry

If white no worries

 

A biker gang at a bar

Has a shootout

Cops show up

The perps aren't shot

 

Roof shoots 9

He makes it to jail

A guy with CDs

Fairs not as well

 

5 more dead

Good guys with guns

It should be obvious

What is going on

 

There is an allergy 

Our nation has

One industry and lobby

That set up this

 

Pop pop pop

Profits profits profits

Bodies of blacks

And that of cops

 

Glocks and 9s

And AR 15s

The NRA

Shouts with glee

 

More death more violece

Make more excuses

Body bags increase

For greed and selfishness

 

I know what can

Cure our allergy

Stand up to the NRA

And the GOP

 Half Staff, By Brian37

 Half Staff, By Brian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on Facebook, and @Brianrrs37 on Twitter)

 

Pow, pow, pow

Flag goes down

Thoughts and prayers

And moments of silence

 

The work place safety

Sign in the break room

"Its been...... 0 days

Since"

 

Flag goes back up

Breifly, only breifly

Pow pow pow

It gets lowered again

 

P 90 X 

Insanity workout

Pow pow pow

It goes up and down

 

Like chin ups

And push ups

Healthy profits

Violence sells guns

 

We've got a fix

To stop the death

Prayer and thoughts

Are all it takes

 

Flag goes up

For a breif time

Until a dead cop

Or dead black man

 

Until another

Orlando or Newtown

Pow pow pow

Half staff again

 

If prayer works

Just add more guns

Seems to work well

Which is why nobody's complaining

 

Up and down

The flag goes

Like jumping on

A trampoline

 

Pow pow pow

Prayer prayer prayer

Thoughts thoughts thoughs

Guns guns guns

 

Flag goes up

Flag goes down

Flag goes up

Flag goes down

 

Bodies pile up

Morgues fill

Guns and prayer

What a thrill

 

We must love

Lowering that flag

Otherwise

We'd take action.

 Black and Blue, By Brian37

 Black and Blue, By Brian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on Facebook and @Brianrrs37 on Twitter)

 

Don't hand me

This shit the only way

Blacks don't end up dead

Is simply obey

 

Baltimore looms in Grey

Died in police custody

Bland is accepting

This every day

 

Chokeholds 

Of the unarmed

Over fucking cigarettes 

Another black life gone

 

I've been faced

As a teen playing toy gun

Cop aimed his gun at me

I didn't end up dead

 

Another time

I was speeding

Angry for being pulled over

I threw my wallet at her

 

SHUT UP WHITES

AND FUCKING LISTEN

IT'S NOT IN THEIR HEADS

ITS OUR IGNORANCE!

 

We don't have

To have that talk

We don't have 

To fear where we walk

 

How many Martins

How many Garners

How many body bags

Before we get tired?

 

Black lives matter

Is not anti cop

I can tell you

What it will take to stop

 

There is one party

Rooted in hate

Using coded language

"Thugs" is the way

 

And their friend

The NRA 

Loves the fear

Between cops and society

 

Scare the crap

Out of everyone

Gun factories make profits

Off of tombstones

 

Black and blue 

Should matter to you

End their obstruction 

End the hate too

 

"Good guy's with guns"

Is a bullshit myth

5 innocent cops

Died despite this

 

Yet Dillon Roof

After shooting 9

Made it to jail

Breathing fine

 

The enemy is of blacks

Whites and cops too

Is America's gun fetish

Perpetuates doom

 Symphony #15-9-38 In

 Symphony #15-9-38 In Prose, By Brian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on Facebook and @Brianrrs37 on twitter)

 

 

I am an Ar-15 make love to me. I am a Glock with a big clip, love is easy to see. I am an Uzi which little girls will play, it's easy to love objects in a delusional way. I am a dad, who kills his son at a range, make love to me, I am a gun. I am a mentally ill soccer mom, I love guns and both my daughters are gone. What's not to love, about guns that spray? What's not to love, about death every day? Look at you, sexy metal, you're just an object, why do they quarrel? Let's pass a law, to make gun marriage legal, fuck the object, to breed some more. Don't you love the color red? Pay no attention to the body bags. I'll protect you to my death, even though, you're not living or breathing. True love is not between humans, the only true love, is that of a gun.

 "Gun's Life's Matter" By

 "Gun's Life's Matter" By Brian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet On Facbook and @Brianrrs37 on twitter)

 

Cat on a black church Roof

Murders nine

That is fine

Rewarded with Burger King

 

There is a video

Of a white armed man

Sitting in a chair

Made it out alive

 

There is another

Of a guy shooting at his lawyer

Tackled by others

Who had no guns

 

Full bullshit jacket

It's a protection racket

"Gun's Life's Matter"

Protecting only profit

 

It's the black widow

White spider web

"Gun's Life's Matter"

Happy for the dead

 

Andy Warhol products

Just like soup cans

The flavors crome and black

Textured and pearl grips

 

We're so paranoid

It's gotten to the point

Where c4 justice

Is now replacing juries

 

Tail lights are excuses

For police abuses

It's not a Patch Of Blue

It's pitting me against you

 

Cleaver little game

Sell them all the same

Soup cans full of blood

Flavored blacks and cops

 

"Gun's Life's Matter"

It's a living Uzi

There should be a law

Against gun blasphemy

 

Cleaver little trick

Against each other you do pit

"Gun's Life's Matter"

Vile marketing

 

Doctors in ER

Are getting sick of you

Fuck your bullshit soup cans

We're standing up to you

 

No more black widows

No more spider webs

No more dividig races

We're tired of your shit

 

Take your vile soup cans

Stop killing blacks and cops

"Gun's Life's Matter"

Is worship of an ojbect

 

You have no fucking clue

What a "milita" meant

If you want to know

Look up Whisky Rebellion 

 

Take your Snack Patriot logic

Shove it up your ass

We dont need anymore

Hyper Nationalism

 

Nobody wants to die

On any given side

"Gun's Life's Matter"

Is the NRA'S fucking iie

 "If It Sounds Too Good" By

 "If It Sounds Too Good" By Brian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet On Facebook and @Brianrrs37 on twitter)

 

The soothsayers 

And Seers

Oracles 

And prophets

 

Psychics

And Ouija boards

Homeopathy

Don't doubt them

 

Of holy men, old writings

Blindly beleive them

Don't ever dare

To even question

 

They are the fine print

In any contract

There to serve you

Payday loan or cell phone

 

They are the woman

Sawed in half

PT Barnum 

Has the last laugh

 

You'd have me believe

The claims of antiquity

Don't thrive on the same marketing

Of infomercial TV

 

Deities remove stains

Get your carpet clean

Read the fine print

Before you subscribe to Dish

 

Oxi clean

In omni fashion

Get's the mouse on the wheel

To chase utopia cheese

 

Reverse mortgage

Is what religion is

Henry Winkler 

Is a scam

 

You still own

Your brain

Until the bookmaker

Demands you pay

 

Racketeering

Is all the same

Be it old 

Or oxy clean

 

If it sounds too good to be true

It probably is

And that is why

All gods are dead

 Promenade, By Brian37 (AKA

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

 

Wreched square dance 

Repeats itself 

Dosey Doe

All over the world

 

Mecca and Belgum

Orlando too

Stuck in the past

Voulez Vous

 

West not much better

A watered down mosh pit

Abortion doctors

And their clinics

 

On the waterfront

The wannabe contenders

Use holy books

As their weapons

 

It is justified

They know it is

Killing for Allah

And killing for Jesus

 

The washing machine

Cant remove blood stains

Agitate with superstition

Rinse and repeat

 

Thats you're Nice

And your uncle too

Your sister and mother

Humanity's tomb

 

The demagogue steps in

Tell you to counter

With the correct holy book

To end all the slaugheter

 

The French Open

Syria's Wimbledon 

Bush's favorite philospher 

Allowed him to win

 

The clay court

Lead to the truck

Instant replay

Traced in blood

 

Book vs book

They both justify

Wreched pramenade

They continue to die

 

A disgusting trophy

Humans seek

Over wooden rackets

That are antique

 Scream If You Have To, By

 Scream If You Have To, By Brian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB and @Brianrrs37 on twitter)

 

She could not stand

On her own

But the doctors

Said she could go home

 

I knew better 

Not the case

Guys in cubicals 

Were making budget calls

 

The entire ICU

Heard me scream

"SHE'S IN NO CONDITION

AT ALL TO LEAVE!"

 

This setup we have

Empty the beds

Save the hospital money

Favor insurance companies instead

 

Normal it is

After surgury 

For nausia and pain

To not want to eat or drink

 

Time is the cure

Not sending her home

To gain her strength 

So she can be well

 

Therapy is needed

On top of that

For transfer ability

So she doesn't trip

 

If you're like me

Caring for elderly

Don't let them sweet talk

To empty the bed

 

Scream if you have to

Make them do their job

Your mom and dad

Are all you have

 

They kept her in

But I don't care

If I hurt their feelings

Or made them scared

 

It turned out

She was better off

Her vitals were fluctuating 

In any case

 

After an adustment

In her meds

It seesm her vitals

Stablized 

 

If she had left

I hazard to guess

What the outcome

Would have been

 

Scream if you have to

That's what I did

I love my mom

She's all I have

 First He Came After, By

 First He Came After, By Brian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB and @Brianrrs37 on twitter)

 

A modern Bravaria 

Now called America

Has migrated here

Full of demagoguery and hate

 

First he came

After Hispanics

Accuse them of rape

Cattle car suggetions

 

The captured of war

In no way deserving

Of the sociopath's 

Disgusting demeaning 

 

Panders to those

Who swallow bigoted code

Black lives matter

Translates to "thugs"

 

He'd have us believe

He's for LGBT

Yet his running mate

Made laws that discriminate

 

It's not just Jim Crow

It is a combo

Of McCarthism

Demagoguery on show

 

Demonized judges

Blacklisted press

Another despot

Did that in the past

 

He's been praised

North of the DMZ

And admired Saddam's

Brutality

 

This evil script

Is for all to see

It's happened before

And nothing to repeat

 

That one man

May think it's compitition 

But it is not

It is a path to distruction

 

There is only one thing

That can be done

Stand up to the bully

And shut him up.

 Count The Trees, By

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

 

They took you back

To the ICU

Now that you're stable

Here's what I want for you

 

I want you to call me

Like you did today

The pep in your vioce

Your determination

 

I know your getting

Better when

You feel like eating

Lets hope you hold it in

 

I want you home

Where you need to be

I want you to do

Those silly things with me

 

I want our silliness

In the van

When we pass the golf courses

Make jokes we can

 

I shout "four"

You say 12

Then I subtract

To get back to "four"

 

Then another 

Maybe 15

Or 2 or 10

I have to make it to four again

 

But if you repeat

Our unwritten rule

The same number

The game I win

 

Then we can 

Shift it up

Move onto another

Inside joke

 

Our rual flat roads

Lined with pine trees

I love it when

You say "count the trees"

 

As if I could

While I am driving

You'll say anything

To get me laughing

 

In my attempt

I say 1 and 2

And 4 and 5

6 and 7 our smiles arise 

 

You better get better

I know you can

I want more time

When we ride in the van

 

I want you home

With your friends

I want to take

You out again

 

I want to play

Those games again

Passing the golf courses

And counting the trees

 

I know you're strong

You are my pillar

You have to make it

I love you mother!

 Twilight, By Brian37 (AKA

 Twilight, By Brian37 (AKA Brian James RationalPoet on FB and @Brianrrs37 on twitter)

 

Your birthday 

Rolls around again

Wanting for you

Many more of them

 

Such a cruel thing

For nature to do

To take them away

From wonderful you

 

But tis a path

A finite ride

Cherish the time

We are alive

 

Fight with your will

That evil twilight 

Is no calming word

It gives me fright

 

Your absence

Would be a void I refuse to face

Fight with your will

To slow it's pace

 

Be that rose

Allways budding

In your mind

Always loving

 

I see the vaule

In the response of others

How thoughtful and caring

And always giving

 

Next year next year

And the year after that

I want you

As long as you can

 

Evil twilight

The reaper's friend

The clock keeps ticking

Regardless of whims

 

But do take solice

In one thing

If you have your mind

You can manage it

 

I've seen you battle

All those candles

Even though

Your body falters 

 

Nobody knows when

But I do know this

Time spent with you

Is always the best
