Ever wonder where evil comes from? It’s housed in our primitive brain, just waiting to overcome rational thought. Fortunately, I have never succumbed to the described. I am not free of vice though, I love wine, women, and song.
Reptilian Brain
I fondle my reptilian brain,
while listening to a metallic refrain.
I gather round my little chicks,
while watching some good porno flicks.
But don't you touch them, hear?
I'll rip your guts from dick to ear!
I took my 'roids my freshman year,
and now my anger hovers near.
It's only my maker that I fear,
I wear his symbols, here, here, and here.
I even wear one on my left ear.
But don't you dare call me a queer.
I'll cut your balls off just for spite,
to show you just who has manly might.
Took my Viagra the other night,
and balled until the early light.
Prostitutes are nice,
give you no shit at half the price.
Can even snuff them if I need,
scum like that no one will heed.
Cults are my seduction, self-destruction,
I travel in packs for more protection.
I'm patriotic and wear the flag,
but don't you dare, call me a fag!
I eat from hunger and not from greed.
And even more when I'm on speed.
When I’ve passed through this life of pain,
and hear that heavenly refrain,
Well ... you know, they say you are what you eat. I think that Viagra had some martian genetic mutations in it. You are wild and crazy you know. Enjoyed this!
The "Reptilian Brain" was running rampant in mine, yesterday, but I can't even post it! This is close! Oh Wow! The imagery pollutes my moral desires and I can't help but be amazed! You done got Ed and I both scared! LOL!
Mind-provoking, isn't it?

Brilliant insight into all in a matter of degree not kind - and whenever we confront our ego/id's perverse survival tactics in pursuit of something that's damn difficult or takes discipline we experience the absurdity of your last two stanzas. We are both animal and man int his world...

No one can escape the little lizard in our brain, but
we can refrain from using her?
I'm in trouble now?

The reptillian complex? Does that lie next to the snake in the grass? Ron, your premise for this poem is unique, creative and interesting. I know, that like all of your work, much thought went into its creation. I'll ponder it a bit longer. There is indeed much here to consider and interrelate. Keep your thought provoking work coming our way. I like to have my little brain perplexed and taxed with unique works. Jon Michael Willey
Neurosis, a mental illness, affects everyone to a greater or lesser extent, yet most know little or nothing about it. This book reveals all, including incidence, signs and symptoms, cause, treatment and prevention, in lay language.
