Frivolous In The Company Of Demons. By Dennis Moriarty

I am frivolous in the company of demons
Writing limericks about civil war and famine,
Singing songs of death and destruction
With laughter in my voice.
I make light of environmental issues by declaring
That the planet is safe
From the toxic emissions that spill from
My mouth.
I dance with the devil while mocking the god
Of another mans faith,

I raise up with the opioids and crash with the markets
And I do it all with a lop sided grin.
I write poetry without construction, without grammar,
Delegating all the punctuation
To the elitist practitioners of our everyday art.
I bend my thoughts
And slur my words until enlightenment is born
The son of confusion.
