Alexander Shaumyan Poems

(for Robinson Jeffers)

The rocks, the sun, the valleys, and the trees
Speak louder than all the voices of the poets,
...

I do not trust the experts, whose science is for sale,
Whether they come from Harvard or MIT or Yale—
I do not trust the gurus, the mystics, or the priests,
Who claim the truth is hiding in some obscure mist.
...

The trumpets sound, it's the time
That I was looking forward to—
The manufacturers of this coup
Will pay for all their evil crimes.
...

Menopause is the time that marks the end of your menstrual cycles. It's diagnosed after you've gone 12 months without a menstrual period.

A little puppy licked the face
Of its owner—
...

When the tyrants lock people down in their homes
And force them to wear masks,
Whether or not they do anything or
The 'deadly threat' is real,
...

Fake virus, fake president in
The fake White House—
We live in the fakest of times
Said the fake news—
...

Vaccinate yourself against Covid propaganda,
Against Dr. Fauci and the gain of function
Bioweapons research in the Wuhan lab in China,
Paid for by the American taxpayers—
...

A Doctor Named Tony

There once was a doctor named Tony,
Whose science was downright phony—
...

for Heather

There is a door
That opens to those,
...

There once lived a stylish old fellow
With striped trousers and a tie,
And a jacket of red and yellow--
In his hands was a magic pipe.
...
