Artless Man – Poetry by Diane Callahan — Vita Brevis Press

Let’s repeat an exercise from childhood. Lie on this blanket of paper,arms and legs splayed as you stareat the speckled stars on the ceiling,the caress of my pencil against your skinbringing me closeenough to read the wordsengraved on the silver bandhugging your wrist. This is childhood in essence,where exploration meansseeking hands, wideningeyes, stretching limbs. You […]

Read Poem: Saving Planet Earth, by Sarada Gray

(from a genre called the Golden Shovel using the first two lines of Marvell’s ‘To His Coy Mistress’)

It’s running out, what little time we had
yet there are still deniers who say we
need more research: we’re always hearing ‘but’
while, hurrying near, destruction of the world
approaches. Have we time to do enough?
Reverse the harm, refreeze the ice-caps and
cool the air down? Can it be done in time?
For as Naomi Klein has written, This
Changes Everything. There’s no room for coyness
or deep denial: she’s our Leading Lady.
If we can’t soon return to where we were
the answer to all questions will be no.
Which universe will then forgive our crime?

Read Poem: Lonely Dog, by Tyler R. Martin

I stand confused in the mayhem,
Lost in the modern haze,
Where the artists stick to standards
And drown in the modern craze,
But I won’t believe their shit is gold
So I’m a lonely dog, shaking in the cold.

I will not judge your poetry
By its social justice score,
I don’t care for your politics
And your social causes bore.
So since I won’t believe your shit is gold,
I’m a lonely dog, shaking in the cold.

I will not watch my language,
I’m sorry if my words offend,
But my art trumps your feelings
I don’t care and I won’t bend.
So since I won’t admit your shit is gold,
I’m a lonely dog, shaking in the cold.

I might be the pariah of my peers,
But then again, I suppose whose to blame?
They, who avoid the disgrace of outcasts,
Or I, immune to such shame?
I won’t believe their shit is gold
So I’m a lonely dog, shaking in the cold.

● If You Or A Loved One

if you or your loved one
have killed civilians in other countries
if you or your loved one
have tortured innocents in other countries
if you or your loved one
have loved ones at home
please contact the ones you destroyed

● I’m Loving It

i’m loving it
killing civilians in other countries
i’m loving it
torturing innocents in other countries
i’m loving it
loving my loved ones at home
i’m loving it
not caring about the ones I devastated

● Have A Nice Day

have a nice day
bombing civilians
have a nice day
torturing innocents
have a nice day
loving your loved ones
