Answer 1

Here is a poem by Charles Bukowski:


the riots


I've watched this city burn twice
in my lifetime
and the most notable thing
was the arrival of the
politicians in the
aftermath
proclaiming the wrongs of
the system
and demanding new
policies toward and for the
poor.
nothing was corrected last
time.
nothing will be corrected this
time.
the poor will remain poor.
the unemployed will remain
so.
the homeless will remain
homeless
and the politicians,
fat upon the land, will live
very well.

Answer 2

Desiderata


Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant, they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit.


If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.


Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let not this blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass. Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth.


Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.


Therefore, be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be. And whatever your labors and aspirations in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams; it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful.


Strive to be happy.

Answer 3

The poem in my head right now is "Dirge Without Music" by Edna St. Vincent Millay

Answer 4

One bright day in the middle of the night
Two dead boys got up to fight
Back to back they faced each other
Drew their swords and shot each other
A deaf policeman heard the noise
Came and shot the two dead boys
If you do not believe this lie is true
Ask the blind man, he saw it too

Answer 5

Oh! great creator of being,
Grant us one more hour
to perform our arts and perfect our lives
in the calm calculus of reason.
As it begins to rain forgive those who start to curse
For they will not know that it is only the tears of someone that they never heard.

Answer 6

"Cold Eye"

whited crosses at Arlington
sepulchers crudely annointed with oil
hide faded red, grey and blue
rot and sobriety rounding taut corners

icons obscured by sandstorm
and contorted photographs of desert prisons
yet here I am

Answer 7

answers to questions
moonlight summer band camp
cheering, outrageous melting wax
of the summer's discontent
my mind, failing me
glass shard in my heart
waiting for the puppies glass-bow incident
shame, and utter despair
pining for the master's touch

Answer 8

Surely, and here it is:

Ode to the Commode.

Ode to the commode,
for it is where I take my stinky load,
it may smell like a dead toad,
but it is better than leaving it in the road.

Answer 9

Joy to the world, my teacher's dead!
We barbecued her head!
What happened to her body?
We flushed it down the potty
And round and round it went
and round and round it went
and round and round and round it went.

Row row row your boat
Gently down the stream
Throw your teacher overboard
And listen to her scream
Three days later floatin' down the Delaware,
Chewin' on her underware
Wish she had another pair
Eaten' by a polar bear
and that's how the polar bear died!
