Strange People

Strange People

A Poem by Kenneth The Poet

the strange people
want to grow tails
from their asses
because the past
is so much better
than the present

and the future can be
the surgically-enhanced
version of the past

the good old days
before the
hunter-gatherers
become the 
mainstays of
life as we know it

and sometimes
ethical boundaries
need to be obliterated
if they want to be that way

that's why the fringe
was created

and so was the concept
of strange people

they would create clones
of us if they could

strange days are here to stay
and so are the strange people

Jim Morrison was a prophet after all

"Jim Morrison was a prophet after all"
I knew the world was nuts when they gave the Medal of Honor to Bob Dylan. I thought it was a joke. Obama got me on that one. New world my friend. Dylan and Morrison are heroes and we know the truth. Always a pleasure to read your work. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

You are welcome.
For me, I keep thinking of those people who like to live "back in the best days of their life" -- I never had those, so I don't want to live there.:)

I understand. Thank you.
We are all strange in our own way. We all do things that another will find odd or strange. Leave it to us to think ourselves different when reality tells us we are all the same. Leave it also to us to think our selves the same when we are obviously so very different one from another. Yet we are all so very strange. Well done Kenneth. This is quite the apt observation.

You're welcome.
i think you are quite correct in this observation, though some strange folks also think about having their tails cropped at the base
