Driving With My Knees

Ted Cruz Is A Pudenda
so let’s arm everybody
as fast as we can
let’s arm all the kiddos
with ARs in hand
children killing children
la ti da se la vi
more guns
more guns
more guns is what we need
republican insanity
it pays to spread fear
get your AR polished up
shoot instead of hear
let’s arm all the teachers and the preachers and moms
let’s arm all the Dicks and Harrys and Toms
old men and old ladies
prisoners and babies
cashiers and clerks
judges and jerks
make more make more
an insatiable taste
make more for our safety
make more to lay waste
make more for the butcher and the baker and nun
make more for the killers
make more just for fun
make more for the money
and the NRA
make more for the bad guys
to keep good guys away
let’s arm everybody
more guns are real cool
ignorance is bliss
until it comes to your school
nobody’s trying to take #2 rights
but what about the victims right to life
liberty and happiness don’t mean a thing
when you’re on your knees praying
as killing bullets sing
I’m tired of the bullshit
gutless politicians spout
more guns will not save us
that’s such a cop-out
but smile for the camera
hold those props high
such desperate measures
by miserable guys
it’s all for the money
and glory and fame
Ted Cruz is a pudenda
but we all know his name

What Is Love #2
he died
with the love of his life lying beside him
she moved the pillow
just before the nurse came in

—C Driver

Murderous Fool
it was perfect
beautiful anyway
the ripe fruit
of love and labor
satisfied I let it rest overnight
before saying good bye
and then it happened
in the morning
I touched it one last time
but couldn’t let go
I fondled and fondled
here there everywhere
I couldn’t stop myself
until I felt it stop breathing
then held the lifeless body to the light of day
that which I once adored was dead
I killed it
with my own hands
I killed my perfect beautiful poem
fool

—C Driver

doggod
I was feeling real down

sorry to hear that man

then I felt the warm embrace of love and understanding

wow really

like all the joy in existence at once

sounds like it really moved you

a heart so pure and welcoming

it’s cool you opened yourself up to the big guy

I trust him implicitly
we don’t even have to talk

sounds like a beautiful relationship man

he’s my savior

hallelujah brother

every time I think about him
I want to shout DOG IS GREAT

oh hey I think you said dog instead of god

who
no man I’m talking about Buddha my dog

—C Driver

Incognito
I mean what if I was really great at something
and somebody found out
and told somebody who told somebody
next thing somebody wants to chat it up
or buy me a drink I don’t want and hang out
or some other suspicious crapola
not to mention all the other odious vampires lurking
I don’t need the hassle
a time and energy suck
a flashing target on your back
I try to do my best at things and get better
maybe I become great maybe not
but I don’t need attention to be happy
so I’ll just drift quietly on the fringe incognito

—C Driver

Conspiracy Of Lunacy
one rotten belch past sanity
where ignorance abides
in wait to ambush decency
with an intellect of lies
too clever to suffer dignity
truth and character must die
to act some feckless fantasy
projected through narrowest eye
play with lives so casually
sow hypocrisy so leisurely
manipulate misery so masterfully
devote life to a fool’s supremacy
a conspiracy of lunacy
that can end in nothing good

—C Driver

Chewing Your Arm Off
honesty and integrity went for a walk
talking truth and minding their own business
when they caught a whiff of fear and desperation
as they approached the corner
where ignorance and arrogance were hanging out
acting cool and tough and superior
but honesty and integrity sucked it up smiled and said hello
which of course pissed the ance brothers off

so what’s that supposed to mean assholes said ignorance

just being nice said honesty

you assholes don’t know what nice is said arrogance

we’re just talking truth and minding our own business said integrity

you’re a liar shouted ignorance
yeah you liars are ugly and stupid said arrogance
and really really dumb said ignorance
yeah liberal commie treasonous beekeepers laughed arrogance
and open minded racist faggots roared ignorance

why are you so angry asked honesty

we know what you’re trying to do said arrogance
you can’t poison our minds with facts said ignorance

what are you so afraid of asked integrity

my AR says I’m not afraid of anything said arrogance
and we’ll scream self defense said ignorance

are you afraid of the truth asked honesty

you don’t know the truth said arrogance
yeah the truth is on social media said ignorance
they don’t know how to google the truth laughed arrogance
they’re too busy googling each other roared ignorance

all righty then time to go said integrity

where you going pussies said arrogance
come back and man up pussies said ignorance
who’s afraid of the truth now said arrogance
you pussies can’t handle the truth said ignorance

then ignorance and arrogance celebrated their insanity
by dancing wild circles on the corner
beating chests flapping elbows and making chicken sounds
while honesty and integrity quietly went on their way
talking truth and minding their own business again

hmmm said honesty
even a simple conversation with ignorance and arrogance
is like chewing your own arm off
except chewing your arm off makes more sense

ain’t that the truth brother said integrity
