Death By Taxes
Exploiting the need
Setting the cost of this dead end living
In this system, the consumer is the feed
Lives for auction, waged efforts in short changed bidding
Cycles of debt make up bondages of dependency
Desperation to control in this market of captivity
Oppressive price tags and credit scores to earn a right to owe
Qualifying for financial burdens
They own the ground in which we sow
Harvesting more costly endeavors in this death grip for a home
Culture of the illusion of success
Retirement savings for future...

Irrefutably your crucial inheritance? Dream on!
By Stanley Collymore
Absolutely incredible but equally
worrying, how obviously many
biologically related relatives
whose only tenuous relationship with
the person they've clearly, arrogantly
targeted as quite crucially, evidently
their evidently literally financial bed
of roses is often simply undeniably
and very essentially that biological
one, whom they've unquestionably
basically had no really meaningful
relationship with; and distinctively
the person, they have significantly
simply assiduously plus...

Janet Street-Porter - the delusional, self-entitled and hypocritical trollop, pitiably castigating Meghan!
By Stanley Collymore
Bastardly conceived by her then
actually obviously married but
nevertheless this discernibly
patently unfaithful wife, turned mother
by her then actually ongoing lover, it's
basically clearly self-evident that the
quite classic statement of the apple
not having really fallen, that very far
from the tree is rather applicable in
Janet's very own specific case that
has evidently, been a menagerie of
a quite illegal abortion in her teens
followed by specifically, numerous
ongoing affairs...

Speak your narrative
Following in patterns of sensationalized sign language
Make it say what you want it to
When everybody’s sky is falling
Seasons of our relative apocalyptic delusions
I won’t doubt a wonder but I’ll call it what it is
Stretch the facts into the mold of what you want to see
What speaks to you may not say a word to me
But it’s “your truth”, it’s your cypher, it’s your “prophecy”
Loose translations, contorted interpretations
Twist the words just right to harbor the impact
Looking for incidental events ...

In The Arms Of An Angel
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil;
For You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me
Lead me always to the light as my breath at times may become shallow
Bless over my mind when my words are too weak to manifest upon my delayed swallow
Receive me, thy Lord, as the cord of my life returns to the cocoon of my existence
My astral traveling, a star dust in the stratosphere interwoven of many placentas
I have been reborn, may Deja vu moments allow me to connect the...

The intransigent and racial short-sightedness of the morally myopic!
By Stanley Collymore
Be absolutely careful about what
you gratuitously, and distinctly
very malevolently wish upon
others, advises a very astute Barbadian
adage, as it could eventually, quite well
distinctly, bounce back, a hundred fold
on you; and with basically no recourse
on your part of really escaping from it!
The RNLI that is located in Weymouth,
England discernibly has crucially valid
parking permits at a rather significant
financial outlay to the RNLI irrefutably
of really £2000. 00 a year and simply ...

Reform Party - A home for Britain's tiresome, feral and sociopathic inadequates!
By Stanley Collymore
This ostensibly is the radical, and
evidently too, forthrightly British
political party in the offing that
recently actually withdrew membership
from one of its quite upcoming, British
elections candidates, literally because
this said constituency candidate, very
allegedly rather repeatedly refused to
essentially actually acknowledge the
Reform Party's HQ emails, obviously
routinely sent to him; while naturally
crucially also, similarly being clearly
amiss, in simply likewise answering ...

Softy Co-Piloting Your Mind First Class (Air Style)
To be in the know moment one takes time to see things as others cannot grasp the concept or lose focus of presented perceptions
We go through life to make better choices for ourselves
For the parents who have children, safeguard their future the best way possible
Read to them is always my advice
Do not allow highway information from the internet to be the window of their innocent souls
What happens when you live in a world that not only supports you...

Untitled
It was never about words because like a painting that's what an artist leaves behind,
it's complete and palatable for others to gaze upon, in my subjective way it's the worst way to read poetry, it's the worst way to write poetry, it's the worst way to think about art, that's coffee table art and I would be the person in the back holding a ripe tomato ready to throw from my hand.
For me it was the hole in my wardrobe, broken bottles scraping down my walls, cigarette holes in my duvet, the busted vinyl player that met the boot of one of my relations, using my own body...

Sanctions - A very convenient device for the utilization of inimical western hypocrisy!
By Stanley Collymore
Rightwing elements and clearly
their equally corrupt and quite
obviously likeminded media
inimically at the drop of the proverbial
hat, except that it's simply all too real
with these natural pillocks calling for
extensive sanctions: and discernibly
of the actually, most damaging kind
either specifically against Russia or
simply China, while unquestionably
quite categorically against all such
activities being aptly implemented
against quintessential rogue state,
entrenched apartheid,...

TILT
Where will you virtually go today?
To the ends of the earth where all will follow?
To where the world will fall in love again
With images of your beauty they will swallow
And it’s here when you must comprehend
That passion sometimes goes unrequited
After all the watchers maybe watching
Diligently from a distance uninvited
And in the inquisitive visages of vanity
Cater to your every secret and need
You provide the info they always wanted
Undaunted and unknowingly you concede
Narcissus and Echo...
To the ends of the earth where all will follow?
To where the world will fall in love again
With images of your beauty they will swallow
And it’s here when you must comprehend

And in the inquisitive visages of vanity
Cater to your every secret and need
You provide the info they always wanted
Undaunted and unknowingly you concede
