I admit it, I have never taken a poetry class. But, when inspired by something in this crazy world, I find rhyming it out gives me satisfaction and a sense of catharsis.

Here is one sample of my poems:

The Deal

Let me show you the hypocrisy 

In the fabric we call society 

Where reality shows are fantasy

Insecurity becomes priority

Just 1 step to be healthy 

Pop a pill, enjoy the scenery

 

Science that’s made for frivolity

The truth is now the anomaly 

Civil servants acting selfishly 

As their pacs lead them so helpfully

Mammoth INC's control what you see

And news networks fall to banality 

Food is now a toxicity

That’s wrecking our abilities

Ask a question politely

Their lawyers deny you forthrightly

Individuals beaten up peacefully

Just fit in to do exceedingly

Is it complacency, or just gravity

Why the eyes shut out reality?
