Scott Thomas Outlar- Three Poems

Sneaky Syndrome

Nuclear drip drop

from the top floor/with a

leaky valve syndrome

sucking out the radiation

to kiss kiss all the dolphins

until they’re schooled/

coming unglued/screwed

tight into a can of tuna

poisoned with mercury symptoms

to help us slowly forget

(cognitive dissonance)

all the mistakes

that have taken the (shaky) situation

up close to the edge

(looking over the ledge)

hanging on by a thread/

collapse immanent/mutation

in the rearview

is sneaking up fast

with corrupted DNA

being the gift

that will keep on giving for most…

though a third eye birth

will arrive for some/to see the light/

solar charged

with free energy awareness

to help sort through the mangled chaos

and crash evolution

headfirst into a future

that is screaming as a siren

from the far side

for someone to pull the trigger

“Sneaky Syndrome” originally appeared in Dissident Voice

Suck It up, Buttercup

  

War all the time

since the dawn

Blood in the streets

from the cull

Eggs in the pan

with the poison

Flesh on the cross

with a hammer

Sex is the drug

for the masses

God is the sieve

that keeps draining

Death is the urge

from the womb

Love is the luck

of the draw

Sleep is the rest

for the weary

Ripe is the vine

in the Summer

Harsh is the truth

through it all
