he’s not a smart man
non-substantive conversing
should keep his mouth shut

This Autumnual Session
it’s begun
nature is coming to order
as the aged and rigid
pass the torch
to the next season
what was learned
what has changed
nothing
Not Found
missing common sense
critical thinking missing
missing brain power
Insouciance
every continent is burning
millions of people raging in agony
the pendulum has swung so far wrong
politicians persecuting, punishing, and oppressing
free speech denied, freedom held hostage, joy sucked out of existence
we are currently living in a bizarro world in full color, yet under a cloak of darkness
children shrieking with every breath from mass shootings and genocides
terrorized into silence as the whistles of flying bullets encroach their personal space
many adults having to endure a government overreach like we’ve not witnessed in decades
and yet, the indifference as events unfold is crippling the human experience
the callous ones seem deaf, dumb, and blind to the warning signs all around them
no concern shown, no care for change, not one plight reaching their empathy button
until it affects them…
then it affects me…
That Last Moment
the possible end
anxiety takes a toll
a forecast of doom
False Praise
There are secrets hidden in his panegyric, no one the wiser to his cloaked praise. The large crowd in attendance was unaware of unmentionable things left undisclosed for the institution’s sake. And if they were ever to find out the monster they were applauding right now, everything would crumble. Not only would this reputable* organization be in ruins, but it’d leave a decrepit taste in the mouths of those willing to be charitable enough to raise the less fortunate out of their despair. Possibly shaking the foundations of other noble** institutions everywhere.
Right. It’s a five-minute blip in history. Next…
*Forgive the added sarcasm.
**Again.
Worried
we wear fear and angst
his caliginous manners
a dismal outlook
Grumpy
so bad-tempered
i’m not nice to be around right now
so irritable
i might definitely lash out and viciously
so cross and crabby
the whole world irritates me today
my insides want to purge the anger
scream the bitterness away
and level buildings
this emotional state sours my being
clutters my mind with angst
and makes me want to jump out of my skin
GEEZ, i hope this feeling dissipates soon
don’t know if i can take much more
Left And Right
the division is palpable
a great chasm where all voices are lost
information doesn’t help
when it’s lopsided, false or biased
adding strong emotions
only makes it worse
facts just don’t get in
how do we tear down the walls
constructed by those
who want us to languish just enough
to keep us productive for their well-being
how do we rise above
the mis- and dis-information
created to keep us at bay
how do we finally
once and for all
come together
and stop being used
by those who choose
to determine our worth
and the harmony we seek
Dispersing
not fun anymore
i am surrounded by hate
come find me again
Dear followers – From my poem, I think you’ll be able to see where I’m going with it. I’ve decided to leave Twitter permanently and move to Blue Sky Social. I hope you decide to make the leap too. :)
I won’t delete my profile on Twitter for a bit, but count on me being out of here in the next ten days. You can find me here – https://bsky.app/profile/susibocks.bsky.social
Hope to see you soon!
