Cracks in the Dome
Today I read a brilliant poem over
on David Redpath’s fabulous site,
and I thoroughly recommend that
you read his outstanding piece
by clicking on this link

The below poem, is made up from
the two comments that I placed
on David’s site today.
CRACKS IN THE DOME
I can hear bells ringing from […]Cracks in the Dome
Welcome To The Placebo Dome
Welcome to the Placebo Dome
built upon the bones
of man’s addiction to petroleum
being a carbon based lifeform
So please be seated
in the climate controlled comfort
of air-conditioned judgement
as a privileged guest
of the Meta-World Government
Girl Child
The Diamond Creek Dogs
The Omega Man
Shades of Junk
Junk in school
Junk on the street
Junk is lurking
every place
that people meet
There’s nowhere safe
Can you stand the heat?
Best be cool
and fast on your feet
Junk that cheats
and is hard to beat
Heterodyne
Social engineering
dressed up
in the drag
of state religion
A trick of the tail
that sting of tradition
Taboos and hoodoos
male and female
two sides of the one
multifaceted coin
Far too many
a lost penny
spent in a storm
Spurned and torn
for just being born
The Placebo Diaries (4)
D.R.;
After a fatal incision
of self infliction
I attended the autopsy
of humanity high on LSD
It was a questionable decision
. . . but that’s just me
The event was well advertised;
“Come witness the Mystery and
Rebellion at the World Famous
⭐ CARNIVAL of CARNALITY ⭐
~ Where The Flesh Is Weak
And The Clowns Are Hungry!”
La Coco Mojo Trobada
Looking for hidden treasure
in the doing of serious leisure
at the exotic Coco Mojo bar
I’m ordering yet another
mango mojito
whilst listening to Mojo JuJu
singing her native tongue
as that Coral Sea
keeps on brightly glistening
in the tropical morning sun
