I AM JUST COMPILING a “Book of 330 Sonnets” containing 330 (obviously!) of the sonnets which I have written over the years, which should be ready within a few weeks. (If you are interested in proofreading this work, please let me know! It will contain just under 200 pages with two sonnets per page). The interesting thing is that while compiling and designing this book, I keep being inspired to write new sonnets! Two have come already today. I cannot keep them from bubbling-up. It’s like multiple births! “Whoops, here’s another one!” So I thought I would share those two sonnets with you here as they are somewhat topical:

HISTORY ON REPEAT

They want you to be cowed by what you see —
so scared of them that you will shut your gob
and turn a blind eye to atrocity
and bow to all the menace of their mob.

While agents gayly cosplay in the hood
as if they have auditioned for some game
like Call of Duty (wrongly understood),
it soon takes on a Mortal Combat frame.

It’s just another violent episode
of Stoßtruppen to shock you with their force
and with their military overload
to make you view your freedom with remorse.

Don’t be surprised to see this on your street.
Just study; you’ll see history on repeat.

THE BEAUTY WHICH REMAINS

The beauty which remains on this strange globe
is compensation for what has been done
by those who would destroy the earth and probe
those places where Man never should have gone.

Because s/he has no ethics other than
what s/he decides the situation needs,
s/he has taken out an installment plan
to plant on earth some dark satanic seeds.

Doc Faustus has got nothing on these fools
who build their Tower of Babel version 2 —
who think that signing up as Satan’s tools
(ignoring God) is what they’re here to do.

For how long will what’s left of beauty stay
if those impostors have their wretched way?
