Cranium sword
We are pictorial
clinging enchained
exchanging
hearts
hands
needle
gun
closed cross points
is man really
beastly divine
soon there will be
no gender except
for cathartic echo
where liberation
trauma and conflict
are to become Dionysian
hearting
purified statue
of
the first human
some might call it
illness ...

Cry-baby (with Skyra)
Excuse my sanity.
I lack the parts to portray “he” or “man” to be
labelled as such, not much of a “key” to humanity.
No metal seems to be a fan of me.
Allegedly I created aura’s for them to be mad
and sickened, partially wicked, characteristically chickened out of glee.
Can I just say I’d like to leave?
No? Oh well, on my way to lies and deceit.
Can I just say I’d like to believe?
I can? Well damn, let’s pretend I’m suddenly
saint again.
If my life takes time out of yours for you to go
ahead and say I...

Direct Questions And Direct Answers
I have a direct question to ask the minister of national security.
What gives you the feeling that you are a better person than the ones whom you regard as criminals?
Since I do not expect you to answer the question, I will answer it for you.
Whatever label you give other people, you and your colleagues are the same thing.
I also have a direct question for other members of the government.
What makes you think there is a difference between you and the people whom you call wrongdoers?
I am certain that you will not respond to my question, so I will give you...

Villanelle Nr.23 — Reviewing the Queen and Us
To the discordant witch we had to say no
a long time ago as the terminators proceeded
without a hitch ’til the wee small hours and time to go
home where cold beds lay waiting for us and so
all we had to do could have succeeded
by shutting the rough sheds and saying no …
sadly naďvety piqued the flow
of consequences and firmly heeded
the lies spooked rickety minds ’til time to go
demonstrating that to keep the show
on the road one keeps language fully seeded
steeped in pageantry to test the plebs' grit to say...

American Healthcare
Suffering.
The crowd pushes around me,
Forcing my palms to meet with the ground
“Please just let me go-“ i plead,
My legs shaking, my breath short
All the while children tussle and parents cry, everyones ear perking up at the sound of the door
“Animals, the lot of you.” I can here the rich man say.
Is he wrong? Are we not all here to get a type of help that does not truly exist?
So many sick people, and not enough to heal them.
My arms falter, and my body folds in on itself. The feet kicking in my sides,...

Boycott
A peaceful boycott is the most effective form of protest that exists.
No government can force the people to do business with any company.
Their guns and their nuclear weapons cannot repress a boycott.
You do not have to spend your money with oppressors and exploiters.
By the way, some of these companies contribute to the pollution of the earth.
Stop supporting certain businesses and demand justice from your leaders.
You can hold out longer than they can because they do not like to lose revenues.
As individuals, you will not lose the amount of...

To Chivalry!
Now is not the time to cower and pray
In gothic caverns of Christian despair
But to pitch on in to the public fray
With a simple statement that says "I care."
I care about all the so called losers
Abandoned by the sterile logistics
Of the profiting prophets and choosers
Un-flamed by altruistic phlogistics.
I care that comfort, by high rent, is rent
And that people on the streets may suffer.
Is there no way to get what needs spent
To promote a more civilized buffer?
Must we, Spartan-like, leave the weak to the dogs
And menace...
In gothic caverns of Christian despair

The Knaves Potential
Are the Beatitudes now so undone
That we are the flipside of jihad's coin
Treating the Hun to one more bombing run
Betwixt distractions of bling and loin?
Then rebuilt towers represent defeat
And not the sought for triumph of the west.
We, as well then, are dogs waiting for a treat
And not shining knights passing chivalry's test.
We are meritless wizards of technique,
An Archimedes screw going both ways,
To give alternating progress oblique;
Sometimes trending up...then only belays,
Like gigantic ships upon bergs of ice ...

womb
there is the unseen affecting thinking great and small
things aren't as they appear are you aware?
little honesty twirling the energy
I am peering in to see what I see
I ask permission to gaze
seeking unity in the eternal fire
eyes of dread speak of Freedom
I open my doors a sanctuary to like minds
the rainbow flourishes in the dark
Zion is alive and well, awake and aware
Dr. Teeth good morning
expel the myths and look inwards
diadem of faith speak the language of smoke,
on the winds talk
...

A Friend In Need
In the middle of the city a guy thought it would be a great idea to go and visit a friend
So he went to see him in his office where he was counselling his patients as a psychologist
Now the man was happy to see him and they had some friendly chatter in the office
However when the guy who was visiting wanted to leave
The suggestion was made by the friend to visit his place
While there he changed and picked up bits and pieces of this, that and the other
Later that afternoon they were off to a place in town where they met a group of male friends

Oh Hateful Day,
It's for celebrating heroes we are told,
Some with, some without a battle scar
That may or may not prove they were bold
On fields of terror painfully far
From all the genial comforts of home
All too often taken for granted
By those ensconced on their native loam
Where all those pleasant comforts are planted
Like combat remains into a grave
First shipped, like prime Amazon orders,
To the land of the free, home of the brave
Now promoting more weaponized borders
Delineating an old warrior culture
That feeds the meat to the Reaper's...
Some with, some without a battle scar
That may or may not prove they were bold
On fields of terror painfully far
From all the genial comforts of home
All too often taken for granted
By those ensconced on their native loam
Where all those pleasant comforts are planted
Like combat remains into a grave
First shipped, like prime Amazon orders,
To the land of the free, home of the brave
Now promoting more weaponized borders
Delineating an old warrior culture
That feeds the meat to the Reaper's...
