Mama Gaia is giving it to me
Not one table spoon as it used to be.
But aerosoled straight into nose and lung
Till that mournful requiem for me is sung.
Stay home, she says for all the world now fears
The flatulence from all those sinful years.
Let then, the privy of your conscience be
Privy now to yesterday's gluttony,
Greedily going after the golden grain
Now being flushed down that commodious drain.
And the carbon footprint you left behind
Is sure hurting where it should -- your behind..
Go gaga-google get that 5-G goo.
The Groaning Green now gifts those groans to you.

Corona Castor Oil 2
Is CCO working in unholy haste ?
Flushing out excess: keeping what we need:
A slimmer wallet and a thinner waist.
The purging of all venality and greed.
Is CCO singing that sweet ole song
"Mid pleasures and palaces you may roam,"
Keeping you locked indoors for just as long
As for you to know: there's no place like home!
And as you jaywalk on the streets today,
You make the highway your promenade.
All fossil fuels and fumes on holiday.
Keeping those promises you never made.
And when the price of crude cries down to zero,
It's not you but CoVid 19 the hero.

I'm counting now my days of purgatry.
Evacuating putrid poetry.
Will the bowels of my advertising days
Be ever cleansed by Gaia's ruthless ways.
Will Corona clean up all that gory
Thrust and parry that found its rightful place
In Capitalism's hoary story:
The bloody motions of the market place.
Will competition give way to courtship now?
Wooing target lover, not fighting foe.
That's what you're doing under lockdown now.
Your brand' s now making love not war you know?
And if this be bullshit and upon me proved.
Ivan never writ. Shakespeare never loved.
Wow Ivan! this is so worthy of publishing. You must be generous enough to allow others to revel in your poetry. At least put it on facebook.
ReplyDeleteThis is not really poetry. Neither the content not the prosody. It's just me having fun instead of writing serious thoughts and ideas. But feel rewarded enough if people enjoy it as they would a party song.
