Paul Amrod Poems

GHOULS, GOBLINS AND TRICKY PRANKSTERS

Today is a day for trick or treat we all call Halloween
The harvest of the Celtic was the origin for the festival
...

The cheerleader of our nation has blurted through his megaphone
his phrases of recovery sounding demonstratively monarchical.
Pointing aggressively to younger female reporters with a tone
of oppression steaming under his collar overwhelmingly fanatical.
...

Ordinarily the unattractiveness of invariably seeking the spotlight
precipitates avoidance and the absolute rejection of attention.
Nonetheless reality television presented the ultimate highlight.
A platform for an individual plagued with sociopathic egocentricity.
...

Fond in my memory is the hilarious enjoyment of our Saturday morning cartoons.
I have now savored the moment of the disqualification of a bumbling baboon.
Insidiously recommending his pipe dreams of a wonder cure hydroxychoroquine
with lobbyist control and inside trading motivated Dr. Bright to rudely intervene.
...

Viewing unrested through the crowd insecurely
Hoping dearly he is loved and accepted surely
Cynically egoistic scorning his journalistic guests
Embarrassingly unhinged as he vehemently detests
...

Our man of arms has released another belligerent crony
as the DOJ grinned displaying his wickedness and iniquity.
Grimacing incessantly engulfed in a hypocritical sanctimony
brassy and bold ignoring righteousness and basic human dignity.
...

Our wartime Prez has his hands full lying like a equivocator
Hiding behind his desk while subtracting with his calculator
Calling out a female reporter with an abacus and a question
barking with indignity leaving the stage with indigestion.
...

Confronting the unreasonable with propriety
for our Prez's popularity does quickly wean.
Spraying out recklessly his false optimism
off on a search for a contorted time machine.
...

We are submerged in an era of excessively detrimental deflections
For example outrageously firing the intelligent community watchdogs
Trying to bury their importance on a Friday evening of Holy Sabbath
while mounting the problematic brings all Christians to genuflexions.
...

The listing of an epitaph evokes our citizen‘s compassion
reflecting upon the sentimental innocence of emotion.
Inquiring sensitively for contemplation with an adaption
of abandoning our frenetic nature to display devotion
...
