Celebrity Squares

Hair gelled
and freedom felled,
trousers pressed
and dressed for success
The girth of self worship
expands
and makes demands,
angry internal voices raised
in praise of slavery,
the price of craving
Unblemished
and embellished,
make up
for fake looks,
manicured hands choke me,
glamorous Facebook housewives
poke me
It's no joke,
awoken to photoshopped,
edited and photos cropped,
that despite the fight
and struggle
won't let me go,
God
is in the ego.

Rites and Lefts

In honour of the dead
special prayers will be said?
What about the others?
Uttered by tutting devout brothers?
You mean there are grades
of tragedy appraised ?
Degrees of terror and loss
as determined by a book
dictated by a bearded boss?
Well,
that's sick,
you blinded pricks
It defies rational belief
to capitalize
and evangelize,
to reap a nations grief
There are no greater or lesser losses
It's a blooded pen
that has written, as you're smitten,
your top ten
Jimmy Saville would be proud,
out perverted by converted
hidden in the crowd
What an infernal din,
I quake,
as you shake
your collection tin
Held tightly
by the balls,
for gold to decorate
venerated halls
Wrists with backstage passes
but coach class
for the masses

Contextually Contentious Contents

From the fear I might defeat myself
I think I may delete myself
Start again for lesser gains
molding what remains,
clay stained fingers,
squeezing,
in the wild hope of appeasing
Kneading,
while the wheel spinning ever rapidly
due to pressure felt by the foot
descending,
insisting I become
a receptacle,
bowl shaped,
mouth taped and gullible
A repository,
for a sharp edged,
roughly sawn wedge,
sociological suppository

Meat tube

Pulled nose to toes,
stretched thin,
from feet
to chin
Temerous and membranous,
taut
and pulled wide,
the greatest
and most sensitive instrument,
strings played melodiously
bass profundo resounding,
fingers move
to orchestrate designs
Tremors on the surface
lead to understandings based
on the most faithful
and mindful
interpretations,
defined by the infinite
both within
and without

Not The Knot

Small increments
scratched on a watch face
or dial
Green right angles
and a choice of turnstile
States wavering between slavery
and bravery
A place in between
rarely occupied by people
seldom seen
No bills on boards
Hoarders or goaders
Whores or freeloaders
Mental or demented
Oft visited
but not frequented
Sparsely furnished
No telegraph
Telephone
Television
An absence of derision
Unseen states united
of a place that remains unblighted

Control Shift R

In the end
let's  not pretend,
pride dented,
we relented,
relinquished
sweaty palm gripped hold
on folding green,
for fairer gains,
for higher aims,
held aloft,
perched and held precariously
on shoulders
of poorly bred arguments,
making sacrifices
at the feet of devices,
devout,
without a doubt,
bread basket supplications
for the latest applications,
update me
and rate me,
tie me down and castigate me
In store,
wide smile demonstrated,
held down screaming
while castrated

Best Wishes

He's not the father
I'm not your son
An unhappy birthday
You're hated by everyone
You're a slut
You're husbands a glut
Resembles an overweight
Jabba the hut
You git
You're a tit
Blathering slavering fool
of a gobshit
I hope you fail
or end up in jail
Too fat
or too thin
either way a waste of skin
A zit on the arse
of a mediocre French farce
A rancid septic boil
from a long overdue coil
Words not heard
and all too often barred
Never found
sold for a pound
at Clintons Greeting Cards

Holding Pattern

It's just a brief pause
No bores
or chores
no laws
or legal clauses
No causes for dispute
A small spell
in a softer cell
An intermittent period,
queried and derided,
mocked and parodied,
button polished and paraded,
bought,
sold,
stolen and traded
Ridiculous poses
and curious camber,
immortalised
in exchange for lies,
upended,
suspended in Amber
