An excerpt from Apocalyptic Ink

Poets pack apocalyptic power in
their pens as long as their inkwells
are filled with the acid of unrest.

I am reluctant to breathe for fear
of absorbing your cowardly
exhalations, your weak kneed
prostrations, and gestations, and

I refuse to remove the splinters
from your wimpy rail-riding
asses as you cower and grovel
in a P C police state of mind, too

afraid to offend, thoughts never
to ascend above the safety net
of plastic playthings and pretty
alliterated lines of empty grace
pontificated politely; Bullshit!
