The Die Is Being Cast
Best case scenario; Humanity is headed for another Dark Age.
Worst case scenario; Humanity will cease to be.
Likely outcome; Humanity will go through another near extinction event.

Tall Thoughts Short Poetry by T J Therien
Just a little fun
I took a course on Communism
But I was always late handing in assignments
After several poorly executed excuses
The teacher said I was Stalin
And it really affected my Marx
A Chicken’s Plight
“I feel your eyes
On my breasts and thighs
As you salaciously lick your lips
I say my goodbyes
A cock limply shrugs and sighs
To the beat of Kentucky fried drumsticks”

By Degree
I have come to determine
Everyone suffers to some extent
From some form of mental illness
Each of us takes our turn
Weaving baskets and battling windmills

Tall Thoughts Short Poetry
Yup, that’s me holding an advance first edition copy of Tall Thoughts Short Poetry to be released May 25 2017
An Open Book
Judged by its cover
The tome lies open
Dog eared
And spine broken

Spring is Sprung
Spring is sprung, Spring is sprung
To joy, to joy
Spring has sprung
Let songs of the heart be sung
Spring is sprung, Spring is sprung

The Un-Entitled
Get this straight,
In the US Healthcare is not a Right
It is an entitlement
And the entitlement is determined along economic lines
This entitlement creates a second class of citizen
The swath of people who cannot afford such entitlements
As seeing a doctor when they have a chronic cough
Or when they pull a muscle at work
Or when they fell down the stairs that one time they were drunk and stupid
Let alone afford their blood pressure medication
Or the baby aspirin that might keep a stroke or heart attack at bay.
Some people just aren’t entitled to those things
They can’t afford to get sick and miss work,
Let alone afford the care to get better
And so they suffer and continue to suffer
And so it shall be for the foreseeable future
