Just another day
I wake up in the morning and the sun is shining bright
It's a pity, a shame that my life is so shite
As I put on my coat I knew I should have lied
Told work I ate something dodgy last night
I used to go in and I used to care
Made the most of my time whilst I was there
But it took me a while for me to open my eyes
No one else tries as much as I try
I tried not to drink and I tried not to smoke
The only enjoyment I had left was giving my girlfriend a poke
And even then work would take that away
They took out the p from...

The Whore of Babylon
Mainstream witchery
Spellbound delusions broadcast
Playing with serpents
Summoning presence
Dimensional pentagrams
No cure for demons
Inside of the mind
Pulling desires cycle
Social emotion
Covetous glory
Presentation imposing
To leave impression
A scarring conceit
Marketing bestial lies
Passing down hidden
Hungry monkey thoughts
Inclination directly
Taking center stage ...

Freedom In My Movement (Love Found In My Stillness)
Blinders on while wallowing in sullen garments passed down by whores
Pretty words, fletched from the wishing wells, dipped in the forefathers’ tongues feeling the karma of its fourscore
Bathing in the spillage of blood, bitter fruit echoes from the tress, yet, to the mirror’s reflection promoting self-love, not found in the depth of my purifying seas
Whips and shame lament captivity housed in chains, tattered of flesh tarred and feathered, cries of freedom no more
I have seen, heard the intellect crying during systematic pain
Color blinded by whitewashed...

An Eye for an Eye?
Where did Palestine get its war tanks from
its submarines and its spy satellites,
and its jet aeroplanes to drop their bombs,
In its fight to keep Palestine's freedoms
and land 'gainst the tribes of Israelites,
where did Palestine get its war tanks from?
And its aircraft carriers (I spied some)
in such a dreadful but, domestic fight,
with its jet aeroplanes to drop their bombs,
The Israelites take a hundred eye, for one
and more fertile land like the golan heights
where did...

Cutting it fine - NaPoWriMo 13
Why exactly do we cut the grass?
This,
and other such musings
run through my head
as I push the lawnmower around.
Doing a two step back shuffle
to avoid cutting the electric cable
and thereby cutting my lifeline.
Well,
it cant be for the earthy smell,
a nicely trimmed lawn looks nice
but it is somewhat short
on the natural enjoyment.
At least it is an excuse
to catch some Sun
and feel like a hard-working manual labourer for once.

Spring Clean
Spring is in the air and for sure it works
I'm busy with dusters and suchlike stuff,
this sap's rising and for once I'll not shirk
in shaking the house free of dust and fluff.
And the cobwebby clutter of my mind
blown clean with wide open window of eyes,
my melatonin induced sleep, seemed kind
during cold nights, till I woke to spring's highs...
And, NaPoWriMo Twenty-Twenty-Four,
proving their dedication to their art,
with new poetical subjects galore,
as I, again think, next year, I'll take part... ...

Forty Days Of Nineveh (COTS)
Unto the doors to walk through, to give your mind its inner peace
Repentance bestowed only from the Creator, within the hieroglyphics, the matrix of a woman’s womb never sleeps
Life and the agony of pain it seeps
Yet, you must discern if you are ready to separate those symbolism of false idols you worship that bring no comfort when it reaps
Mystique of the past, present, yet eyes have not seen
We are the subconscious where your mind roams when you dream
Consecrated scrolls is anointed as it has been blessed by...

A Fine Show
I am that lone bird
Floating on the breezes
In an ever darkening sky
The rippling ocean
Comes to life
Dashing it's heaving waters
Against the pebbled shoreline
I see the storm arriving
As i seek shelter
In the caves by the castle ruins
And just as i enter
A flash of lightning
Arcs across the night sky
I see other birds
Their heads down
Awaiting the storms end
The roar of the ocean
Along with the thunder, and lightning
Pierces the inner sanctum of the cave
Eventually, the tempest begins to ease ...

Act
Lingering within,
Temptations appease,
Like listening to wind.
Believing in lies,
Wearing masks appeals,
Like cheering performance.
Fame and fortune sought,
To become gambled,
Like rolling snake eyes.
Dancing with statues,
Hewn grey built handshakes,
Like a graven loss.
Earthen accolades,
Monumental show
Like echoing chambers.
The funeral dirge,
Hearse and casket,
Like roses to play.
The curtain fallen,
Impromptu intent,
Like empty motive....
