Richard Jarboe Poems

Yes, that's us, perfect imperfection.
God is perfect; He(She) made us and we are a wreck,
Our ignorance must be enlightened from a spark within
At this point it's our job to begin.
...

Rise against the machine,
Should forks be destroyed,
How long must we twirl,
For the noodles we enjoyed?
...

Baptist told Busca, let's save some money,
The hurdy gurdy guy is over and done,
I'll fire up the bagpipes, you fire the fiddle,
But don't try to compete with the accordion.
...

This time I almost cared, but I couldn't,
This time I almost dared, but I didn't,
I couldn't get my body on track,
Couldn't get the monkey off my back,
...

Everybody is crawling with germs,
So now is the time we come to terms,
Who doesn't have a germ?
So don't be too concerned.
...

Don't get be wrong, I'm a fan of Smart People,
They're working on everything, because they're smart!
They run the government, the media, and the entertainment business.
Why? ? Because they're smart.
...

Lips, red or pink,
Teeth, straight and white,
Pupils dilated,
Not because of the light.
...

You got your posiverse,
You got your negaverse,
You got your gravity,
You got your ether and the rumor,
...

In the sunshine all around us,
There's a sign of good things to come,
Wounds of the heart will mend,
We're sure to be happy again.
...
