Richard Jarboe Poems

Before you make your move,
Hoping to improve,
Who do you pray to?
...

If you're looking for the Garden of Eden,
Looking for Divine Inspiration,
Seek and you shall find,
Savagery so refined.
...

It's the dream that determines the direction,
Mind over matter in the shape of a dream,
The afterlife, the present moment,
Owe their stuff to the dream,
...

You have a right to remain stupid,
Anything you say will diffuse in a court of flaw.

If you cannot afford a liar,
...

At the corner of Freedom and Justice,
Some resign and some realign,
In Change Square you see the reflection,
Of signs reading 'We Welcome Defection, '
...

So what did you expect?
It's dark out there,
And cold.
Outer space is very, very cold.
...

Of the times I spent with you,
I know I will never forget,
Of the times I spent with you,
I know I will never regret.
...

For those of you who follow the King,
Tell me, where are you now?
For those of you who follow the Pope,
Tell me, where are you now?
...

Your pappy ain't your pappy,
But that's OK,
You play chess anyway,
But something ain't right,
...
