S Class vs Yugo
- by – Bob Atkinson
S Class Mercedes
parked next to a monster
stopped heart when realized
an S Class Mercedes
if owned would be my pride
Yugo
my Yugo didn’t look so good
next to that fine machine
yet I’m averse to maintenance
something that beast needs
We Balkanized Yugoslovia
convicted twice as war criminals
we should have been prosecuted
for that great War Crime
tried the brand when a Yuppie
didn’t suit my needs
too much maintenance required
had need for other things
went down to Saddleback Imports
to purchase a Gull Wing white
$14,000 a bargain
but someone had bou ..read more

Failure of the
MicroFactory Concept
Part II
©2024 Bob Atkinson
Arrival MicroFactory
now comes the hard part
what did Arrival do so wrong
how did they end in receivership
no capital to go on
thirteen billion they did have
to create an entity
all believed in success
of their new grown tree
they created custom prototypes
to sell ideas for their customers
impressive in broad outlook
money spending they thought not of
first you must create a vision
with avenues of escape
how could we implement some change
without using up our stake
I saw the videos, demo factory
slow without remorse

I Don’t Like Being Lied To

Secretary of State 2nd in His Mind
I hear them speak in platitudes
yet when we go down deep
what they say and what they do
on extreme ends they don’t meet
Secretary of State declares
he’s religious first not official
results in two million suffering
while he just sits back and giggles
Sworn to Never Tell the Truth
Admiral stands upon a podium
says nothing true from lips
every time he speaks of lies
my stomach does a flip
these immoral demons
represent me in this case
yet I’m aghast in my mind
how could they ..read more

No Bombs No Gunz

Evil
our society has succumbed
to an evil down so deep
where killing of innocents
we follow as if we’re sheep
we see our military
in a light of brightness glow
while they become war criminals
as in Iraq’s major blow
where Bush Jr
has been convicted by courts
of mass murder of a million
innocent Arab souls
an evil public pavillion
then we come home to glory
“we fought our enemy in Iraq”
who designated them this
some insane political hack (Cheney)
Morality
well “my bags full now”
can’t take this anymore
without expression of grief
how we lost our country ..read more

Amoral Organization
©2024 Bob Atkinson
Amorality
we tell those people how to act
in spite of no morality here
cities in decay profound
many gunshots in our ears
lives shut down by chemicals
rotten deeds of those destroyed
whom society can’t control
or direct to better form
we cry when our own die
yet kill those who aren’t us
without remorse, “Amoral”
defines our lack of trust
devolution of an unorganized
society in decay
how do we pass judgments on
our opponents in this fray
perhaps our leaders can desist
some day in their great shame
from taking money from corporations
or W.E.F. influenc ..read more

Deep Understanding
©2024 Bob Atkinson
Wikipedia
something always bothers us
in our private cocoons noted
separated from this world
as if wild baboonish tokens
we try to understand reality
yet we never make a grade
where all our powers of intuition
present a focused page
people point things at us
sometimes real, sometimes not
to where we’re differentiated
from those who think or not
manipulation becomes a game
where our mentals get massaged
into a delegated premise
of acceleration or quiet pause
I try to encapsulate my thoughts
what I know and what’s not there
but intuition tells me firml ..read more

Exposure

Exposure
from time to time
my thoughts revert
to my younger days
sinister events I saw
although not clear in page
never finding sophistication
or skills to control my rage
others viewed me differently
although they never said
what made them question sanity
of this demur lad
my view of life’s array saw
what could have been but wasn’t
thankful here in my solaced scene
to never have been reluctant
to find myself reviewing
those things which brought me pride
or embarrassment’s depiction
of my simpler side
this world’s a bunch of hardened balls
which one must avoid ..read more

"Jack's Sweater Shower
of Munich"
(c)2010 Bob Atkinson
Park out in the boonies
away from everything
nothing here of interest
except robins singing
through the entrance to a grotto
where strange machines glide
fast into tunnels bored through earth
toward the town of long ago man
grab a quick bite to eat
at the yellow arches store
sitting on hard benches
unknown what this place holds
enter into darkness
oh, there's plenty of light
but what to expect of this
I don't know
but some others might
come up the steps to a scene
of craftsmanship of time
stone buildings ornately made
not an automo ..read more

A Country Dishonored

A Country Dishonored World Wide
a long long time ago
well deserved or not
this world respected U.S.A.
so well we were thought of
Levi Jeans
they bought our Levis
watched our movies
drove our cars
thought we were super
U.S.A. Cinema
that’s gone now
1957 Chevy
95 percent of countries
disrespect our character now
as war mongers of genocide
and coups imposed on theirs
(current count 62 U.S. imposed coups)
our dollar was respected
now we devalued that thought
nobody wants our currency
now that’s a frightful thought
we went to war against this wor ..read more

Vicki Gone
©2024 Bob Atkinson
Evil Vicki
she caused death of 500,000
in Ukraine she did the wrong
unseated an elected government
Maidan replaced with Banderan throng
this Coup d'état she arranged
helped NATO move toward east
trampling red lines established
a bear was then unleashed
Donbas failed to accept
this evil coup government
which told the young all Russians
should of their culture repent
no Russian TV or Radio Stations
no teaching Russian language in schools
in fact their grade school textbooks
stated all Russians should be killed
(men, women and children)
they followed Bandera’s p ..read more
