Psychobabble Babble, Bitch, Bitch, Rebel, Rebel, Party, Party (Haikus 16.0)
(i) On it's Head
Please Love others first
loving self first is selfish
give and you might get
(ii) Number Two A Poo
being self centred
choosing to be number one
makes you number two
(iii) It's O.K!
I really love you
But I just can't love myself
and that is alright
(iv) Has It Been Earned?
Give forgiveness?
you don't really have to
some don't deserve it
(v) Fanning The Flames
if you forgive those
who do unforgivable things
you're an enabler
...

Children’s Lessons in America
Mamí talked for weeks about the trip before we got in that old truck.
She rambled on and on about the amazing, beautiful things we would discover.
She spoke of our trip, painting it all in red, white and blue.
The grand people we would meet, the sing-song languages they would speak.
About the rainbow of skin, hair and music we would discover when we arrived.
Once there, she said, we would get to eat our fill of the food in colorful packages I’d passed by so often and begged for her to buy. ...

her majesty's government
angry, tired, embarrassed, confused
this is how i feel when i think of you
boring, liars, delusional, charade
i will not settle till the debt is paid
we're watching through our screens
detached
let go
how will you give back to us just what you owe?
will you grant us fair wages?
real news on pages?
will you fight for the hungry?
the trodden on,
the angry
all we want is to be happy
free
what is it that's so different between you and me?
the money?
the power? ...

Feeling Used and Abused
Alone in my room.
Feeling used and abused.
Hated by all.
Tonight my life might come to a halt.
So sick of feeling used and abused.
Feeling used and abused.
Hated by all.
Tonight my life might come to a halt.
So sick of feeling used and abused.

Never Fails
It never fails.
I'm always in Hell.
Always in the wrong.
Now I'm too far mentally gone.
But no one can even tell.
And it never fucking fails.
I'm always in Hell.
Always in the wrong.
Now I'm too far mentally gone.
But no one can even tell.
And it never fucking fails.

Land Of The Free
The land of the free
unless you disagree
disagree and then you’ll see
how free you really are to be
unless you disagree
disagree and then you’ll see
how free you really are to be

Standing Together
All people are able to stand up
The sovereign individual has that power
Most prefer not to, they'd rather sit
If difficult they want to sit this one out
It could be that they are scared, nervous
Low is self-esteem, depressed, infirm,
Paranoid, timid, anxious, dullness, stupid,
You may be practising, inertia, inactivity,
Sloth, languour, inertness, weakness,
Incoherence, moral looseness, laxity
You could be drunk, high, passed out,
Inebriated, angry, raging but unwilling
To release the beast that's within us all
Lack of courage ...

Beast
Cure-culture kills no beast.
In fact, it feeds the one in me.
Don’t tell me to smile, if I don’t fucking want to.
And...
Sometimes my joy comes from a rage I’ve been too afraid to explain to you.
Too afraid to explain because I was taught to name and blame everything in me that made cordial cunts uncomfortable.
I’m done.
I want to set fire to every door closed on me.
I want to wear black in the summer rain without any umbrella or shoes: running to (or away) from home like I used to.
Why did I spend so...
