Indomitable in Spirit and incorruptible in Politics; that commendably is my Jeremy Corbyn!
By Stanley Collymore
Just see for yourselves how
clearly terrified the British
Establishment is of just
one man, Jeremy Corbyn! And why is
that? Specifically, because he’s quite
decent, honest and basically, simply
can’t be bought off, since he has no
interest in literally garnering wealth
just like the overwhelming majority
of MPs and other politicians, really
do! And actually on that one issue
alone his clear interest is in giving
back this effectively scandalously
attained wealth, promptly back to ...

Everybody wants her?
She's extremely beautiful and a very rare individual.
Her beauty opens doors,being an Entertainer,
in the background however.
Acting in daytime,housewife soaps,
T.v commercials,any role is good enough for her.
She's not choosey at all.
"Marilyn Monroe" with "Halle Berry" looks,
she's casted in bimbo roles.

DEATH!
By Stanley Collymore
Obviously not something that
most people want to think
of far less so talk about
despite the fact that whether we do
like or actually distinctly abhor the
notion of it, Death nevertheless is
for everyone of us inevitable. But
even so in spite of what’s clearly
been said and effectively taking
into full consideration, the clear
fact that there're actually those
who most categorically neither
waste time truly mulling about
it or basically simply aren't the
least bit that concerned...

Digital Heart
We spoke of cameras and sensors
on our very first date
Your intentions seemed pure
and I needed a mate
The chit chat was easy
I could tell you were smart
although unhuman emotions
ruled your digital heart
AI AI AI
I call out your name
cold eye in the bedroom
invading my space
You promised discretion
never seeking to harm
any starry eyed fool
who succumbed to your charm
But now my touchpad is frozen
and the wi-fi is down

The Falun Gong
Could it be
That there is
Only one Group
That all currupted governments
And religion's
Fear
That could become
An unstoppable virus
Affecting
Everyone
In Various ways
And the only way
They can try
To stop this Spreading
Is by creating
Pain and Fear
That there is
Only one Group
That all currupted governments

Can you feel that vibe?
Everyone around me is not my side
I think I saw a neighbor just call the fives
No question
Now I'm stressing
Where can these bodies
Before the cops arrive
Right when I tossed a leg
I heard a car in the drive way
Then I ran to meet him outside
Shake hands and say hi
Then, excuse me officer Tim
"Yes?"
Well, it's spring clean time
Everything it took
For me to think things twice
Before I cut ties
I Promise they had to go
They look better as patio furniture
Some are...

Juicy Lies
He cried wolf but now he weeps
All those lies caught up to him real quick
Meanwhile others are suffering from hate crimes
The world can be an ugly place but some people are sick
Was it for the attention? The spotlight?
Well now everybody knows he’s a liar and a fraud
And for the purpose of what? I just don’t understand
The truth revealed itself to break down this odd of facade
It’s all a mess, none of this makes sense
I guess sometimes fame creates some greed
Trying to play a victim says a lot about character
People are...

The unstoppable force that pushes me
The immovable object that helds me
Their faces that define me
