jammin on the thought of it by Byron Haskins

six pack armageddon He’s talking armageddon, while sucking down a six-pack,
 Preaching revelations of Jesus in a flak jacket.
 He’s got his neighbor’s at home tagged on a grid map,
 Got a pocket full of prophecies and a cross in his tac pack. 
Talking armageddon while sucking down a six-pack. Ain’t nothing in the air to justify a strike back. He keeps looking for a ride with just the right kickback Snapback, extract, got some bourbon in the rucksack. He dangerous He’s a stranger to US He’s derang-erous Watch out - Watch out - here comes the impact! 2026 © Byron Haskins, nPoet9 Publishing, All Rights Reserved

extemporaneously Culture spa 
 Time to go to the spa
 Time to purge my body, spirit, and mind
 Time to go to the culture spa
 Time to kick the system
 Before I go deaf, dumb, and blind 
 All my life I tried my best
 To take in all that’s good 
I ate my fruits and vegetables
 Avoided processed foods But everywhere I look around
 There’s emptiness on display
 A diet of commercial feelings
 Fed to me every day 
Toxic, sweetened emotions 
Manipulative devotion
 Political snake-oil potions
 Sold as cures for the nation
 Mogging, maxxing, self-abuse
 Punch-me—in-the-face-for-beauty delusions 
Every kind of crazy notion
 Masquerading as anomie solutions 
All my life I tried my best
 To do what’s kind and good
 Said my prayers, bit my tongue
 Like they schooled us that we should But everywhere I turn my head
 regressive religion and culture rules
 Not rogue enough, not mean enough
 To qualify as “cool” Not selfish, sharp, or ruthless
 Not chasing power’s wake
 Not hollowed out and grifting
 Every person for my take Jesus Christ unplug the mirrors
 the dopamine machines 
Drain the noise from the bloodstream 
Wash eyes clean I don’t need another branding to tell me who I am
 I’m washing out the poison
 Humankind is not from a can. 
Time to go to the spa
 Time to purge my body, spirit, and mind
 Time to go to the culture spa
 Time to kick the system
 Before I go deaf, dumb, and blind Lyrics by Byron Haskins © nPoet9 Publishing 2026. All Rights Reserved.

the long deep darkness gives way to light the rising of consciousness puts an end to the night the Denisons of Hatred have given up their fight the morning has come into sight.

The Fire Horse lunar year promises to brighten dark days.

A pregnant noblewoman is approached by a beggar and her children, whom she dismisses, making some comparison of the beggar's children to pigs as she does so. The beggar curses the pregnant noblewoman, and come the birth of her child it is a girl, healthy and perfectly formed in every respect other than having the face of a pig. Such is the fate of the children of persons who wear all the signs of not caring about the suffering around them.

A person born in the year of the fire dog chases his tail. His hair and dander flies from his faux gold pedestal and makes our eyes weep and our noses burn. When will he fall?

When it comes to those who prefer the dominion of cocks, there is always a pecking order.

last day of summer by Byron Haskins

The poetic influence : "If you want to talk about what looks to me like despair and pessimism, it isn’t that a couple random people on both sides, as you know, have picked up guns. It is that the people in actual power who are sane and are clear thinking are doing almost nothing differently. They’re failing and rethinking nothing, at least not on any profound level. And I actually find that very worrying. I would like to see right now, in the rooms I am aware of, much more profound forms of restrategizing going on.”- Ezra Klein The musical influences: Gil Scot-Heron, Frank Zappa, Steely Dan and James Brown.

an excerpted poem American Dream Ballad © by Byron Haskins I want to be free I want you to be free with me I'm dreaming of democracy I'm thinking of a place without someone criticizing me where love is in the blood without toxic waste. where who you love is a matter if taste. thinking a place where they don't rip you off where's there's not struggle to be on top where they don't just lock you up with great women and men and everyone defends democracy where slavery was fought where cultures were brought where hatred is out where friends are sought it's time to do some freedom it's time to do some democracy adios to projects against America bienvenu a amor do you wanna be free? do you wanna free me? come dream with me maybe its a dream but lets take America back to democracy.

Can't you hear the sound of children crying over the screaming inside your own head?

Numerological, 8647 means that America will become wise in 2025, by the 14th of November. (8+6=14) (4+7=11). America will no longer be satisfied with simple explanations and superficial frivolous misinformation. America will discover that real gold is in asking questions, researching, listening, and awareness ... being "woke". The veil will be lifted. The revolution of understanding begins with no dolls for Christmas. :)

Ghosted I think I just missed a turn I shouldn’t have made I just paid a toll I shouldn’t have paid. Life has dreams that never come true, He said, “take a chance on me, I took a chance with you.” And I got ghosted Yeah, I got ghosted He turned every fear I had against me, Now I’m standing alone in my shame Yeah, I got ghosted. Some carry grievances They refuse to evaluate. I think it’s time I say I was one of those who wanted to retaliate! I let you lead me astray. I let you lead me into hate. I guess it’s on me to accept the cause of my fate. I got ghosted Yeah you ghosted me You turned every friend I had against me, Now I’m standing alone in my shame Yeah, I got ghosted. I think I missed the adrenaline rush I shouldn’t have been so inhuman that’s the drug we all been dealt It’s the drug that you been pushin’ My life had dreams that never came true, So, I took a chance, I took a chance, and I was a fool. And then I got ghosted. Yeah, you ghosted me. You turned every friend I had against me, Now I’m standing here in my shame Yeah, I got ghosted. Lyrics: Byron Haskins © 2025 nPoet9 Publishing HCR 08172025: Trump has misunderstood the nature of power in a democracy at home, too. Rather than building domestic coalitions to support the government, he is overseeing the takeover of the government by a radical minority that seems to think the way to build power is for the government to attack its own people. The administration’s defunding of scientific research, medical care, environmental protection, food safety and security, and emergency management all threaten Americans’ health, safety, and security. Its attacks on history and education, as well as its firing of women and racial and gender minorities, seem designed to drive wedges among Americans. Its incarceration and disappearing of undocumented migrants both creates an “other” for Trump loyalists to hate and provides a warning of what could happen to the regime’s opponents. Now, under the guise of fighting crime, the administration has quite literally turned guns on the American people.

the return

Rope a Dope Big dog climbing up a fence little dog yipping away a whirling water hose over my head. There is no fear of being dead. There is no hope of finding dread. there is no hate in baking bread. there is no anger on my head. Just a water lasso going 'round a climbing dog a lady singing from her balcony for her little pooch to return. © 2014 nPoet9 Publishing. All Rights Reserved. From "Race Relations" by Byron Haskins.

The Front © 2024 nPoet9 Publishing Falling backwards with no friend to catch you. Sliding in the mud with Captain Chaos coloring you blue. No time to stew, we gotta be blunt, Don't go for the punt. We gotta kick out the jams and get into the front. Not the back, not the side, not the bottom - The Front.
