PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Just when you think of writing

A halfway decent poem,

It hits you over the head

Like a ruthless giant hotdog

Without a bun--

The Enormous Penis of Nothingness.



It's been with us for thousands

Of years--long before Christianity

Was born, long before the Constitution

Was ratified--it would rear its

Ugly head--conquering nations

And crushing everything

Under its phallic weight--

The Enormous Penis of Nothingness.



Who could've known?  Who could've

Dreamt of its impact on man?

It came like an A-bomb, it came like

Some crusade or a jihad to convert

The infidels to its way of life--

And it took us for a ride in its

Space shuttle, propelled by testosterone

And a giant pair of balls--

The Enormous Penis of Nothingness.



Once I dreamt of a perfect love,

Of your features divine

In the moonlit night,

And I saw all the people living as one,

Living in harmony and cooperation--

But it was only a dream

Only to be crushed by

The Enormous Penis of Nothingness.



And so it grows like some bad

Genghis Khan, like Godzilla,

Napoleon, Hitler, Stalin, and King Kong,

Like the Incredible Hulk

Or some horrendous top

Blogger of Myspace--it grows

Erect out of the womb of the earth,

Spreading its brand of destruction

And uniformity--



The Enormous Penis of Nothingness.



Postmodern and classical,

Primeval and technological,

It has penetrated the cyberspace

With its humongous shaft,

Declaring its supreme dominion

Over one and all--



In shampoo commercials, in political ads,

In its wars of domination and acquisition,

When you thought you've had

Enough of its excesses and death--

It comes forth once again to announce

Its omnipresence and omnipotence--

The Pantheistic Big Penis of Nothingness.



It's been a while since I caught your eye,

When you smiled at me,

And I smiled back at you,

And we knew it was love,

And we knew it was fun,

Knowing deep within our hearts

What the monster's name was

That kept us apart--



The Big Ego of the Penis of Nothingness.
