freestyle sonnet #069: READING ABOUT MERTHYR UPRISING 1831

(more info on Merthyr Rising)

 Tidal wave of corruption hits with sudden thrust,
on that In God We Trust dolla dolla self-just
-ification tip - the apple pie's upper crust

 plus-one percenting themselves (yet again), feigning
Christian foundation same time hard times is raining
on all us... "You don't understand" white mansplaining

 the situation. But check it out - Blood or Bread,
it's that fuckin' simple; build your temples to dead
presidents, live off inherited wealth, but red

 flags will fly once your corrupt wave recedes. No man
is immune to re(sistant)action. Factions can
penetrate any nation-state, fracturing plan

 of "master" minds, so be aware people conspire

to correct monumental thrusts with human fire.

freestyle sonnet #068: SONNET ODE TO BURNING K-STREET LIMOUSINE ON J-20

Perhaps protest involving smashing large plate glass
windows or fake ass nazis is not quite your cup
of free trade tea, but as for me, with my broke ass
lacking hope for voting system to "not fucked up",

 I fully support such endeavors, with full force
of lifelong frustrations plenty generations
old. Sure, for some (with sums) political discourse
still makes sense (plus dollars), and obliterations

 of cherished white marble shinefaced institutions
is confusing and likely upsetting, but fuck
it... y'all pretend presidents are revolutions,
and change is incremental, which is true when stuck

 in traditional theatrical acts of change;
we stomping (I hope) into epic rearrange.

freestyle sonnet #067: OBSERVING DIGITAL NATIVITY SCENES DEGENERATE REAL WORLD BELIEFS

Online unlounger digital fermentation
dish of forever dissent against whatever
you got - folks with wikipedic explanation
of expert opinions for you, which never

 waver. Right and left middle fingers calloused by
keypads poke at each other, confident of rights;
digital nativity beliefs got 'em high
off a mighty naivete, creating blights

 in real world, as sheltered poison culture expands
into public environment - we've become one
message board, under mod, plus gifs for which it stands,
indefatigable, with peace of mind for none.

 Thus I walk, unscreened, through the old world - footsteps touch
actual ground below the clouds cybertrons clutch.
