This is what it takes to be free II
Turn a blind eye,
Turn your left cheek
They'd love you for that.
Split your legs,
It's all a game
For monetary gain,
Make a lot of children
They'd pay you for that.
They pollute the streets with drugs
That they give you money to buy
Buy calling it social relief grants.
Politicians are gods
And they you make look up to one.
Give your limb
Give your life
It's their war they taught you to fight.
Stay polarized,
Never be part of the marginalized,
Toe the line, ...

Have We Had Enough
I feel it everywhere. In the tainted breeze, in the earth, as she screams in agony while she rejects us violently.
I feel cold as it bounces off the impenetrable strangers that don’t know they need each other, due to the monopoly game that we are predestined to lose, brothers competing against brother
while they are the bankers, cheating and clawing and consuming and contaminating.
We keep rolling the dice.
We Give them our power in trade for convenience and seclusion, for mind and body-numbing drugs and entertainment, at the cost of our...

Mr. Prime Minister
Based on true events
On Tuesday morning, evil men and women raided Lincoln Road.
It was a joint police/military operation in the rush hour.
The Jamaican security forces swarmed the area like locusts.
And the damn idiots claimed that they were looking for criminals.
Why did they not search the House of Parliament first?
Mr. Prime Minister, do you regard this as police intelligence?
Do Jamaican police and soldiers know the meaning of criminal?
Some dictionaries define criminal as a person who has committed a crime,
But you cannot call...

I Am Not Offended by........
I am not offended by seeing Gay people kiss on the street
but by kids and Seniors not having enough food to eat
I am not offended by a crazy MTG tweet
but by homeless people using concrete as their hotel suite
I am not offended by another Trump speech bc he is a bore
but by Putin's illegal war
i am not offended by Drag Queen performance art
but by another DeSantis racist and homophobic verbal fart
I am not offended by....

Privileged
It's a shame, it's a low down dirty shame
How humility went out of fashion.
Just wear a cross and claim a righteous name
With no expectation for compassion.
Straddle proud a Harley with some guns
So pride can be as loud as it can be
With heavy metal by the sonic tons
To ape the Taliban...excessively!
Double down on the unduly strict.
Live and die by our lord the sword
And use its razor edge to interdict
Any and every dark skinned foreign horde
Who of course would love to be just as free...
As our bloviating...
How humility went out of fashion.
Just wear a cross and claim a righteous name
With no expectation for compassion.
Straddle proud a Harley with some guns
So pride can be as loud as it can be

Extended Stays Of Vacays
From cotton fields to '94 crime bills
We still fill positions in their prisons
Transitions from cell to cell in living HELL
To dwell like retail to fulfill other's visions
Deplorable conditions as we're sold like stock
Tic toc goes the clock as tick marks grace walls
Not all are emancipated so, dejected, they dock
Locked like a PC outside of P.C. until they all fall
There needs to be a recall on nonviolent offenders
Fathers and mothers asunder can't raise their kids
LIFE vacays should only parlay rapists and killers ...

An Attack On Free Speech
Mischievous LGBT people made a malicious report on the poet’s anti-gay poem.
They labelled the truth about their ungodly practices as hate speech.
The administrator of a website bowed to pressure and unjustifiably deleted the poem.
Nobody would do this except a queer, a lesbian, a bisexual, or a transgender person.
The biggest haters are those who want to destroy the author’s good work.
An interesting fact is that one of the suggested themes on the website is LGBTQ,
Yet some fools regard it as hate speech when you write your views on the subject. ...

New Disease
Oh you like my soul
Well hey look I like it too
Cash consent, full access through
Chop me up to bits and then
Boost me up your recommends
Sure it's harrowing
Digitized we broadcast wide
Simulation in your mind,
Feeding you while feeling me
Donate to our new disease
Download endlessly
Cybernetic sympathies
Ripping off identities,
More of me in you than me
Like grand wildfire entropy.

Stand Up For Free Speech
What is this crap called hate speech that they invented?
Those who regard the truth as hate speech spit in the face of free speech.
People have the right to like or dislike anything or anybody.
And we have the right to express our views publicly on any issue.
It is sad that we live among so many hypocrites and idiots.
Everybody should boldly stand up for free speech now.
Some people only support free speech when it is convenient for them.
The administrators of some websites have no integrity,
But this is not surprising because they are...

World Orders Anew
Age will coax men toward humility
They ought to have considered all along
And that New Sermon Mount proclivity
Was a too fresh notion for heads too strong.
Fast forward to editor Jefferson
Who recomposed that testament again,
Minus the zombie resurrection son,
Hoaxing some absurdly spiritual men.
But ladies as well just can't get their fill
Of "He is risen" as the type of phrase
That smacks of the gooey load that they spill
After idle Priapic worship and praise.
Time will tell regarding heaven and hell
But let...

How About I Answer That Question This Way?
How about
I answer that question
this way? Is it true that you want to
outlaw the practice of men going shirtless due
to the fact you do not wish women
to do the same thing no
matter what?

Same Tree
Kill each other over our religions
End other lives for what we believe
We have taken men
Hung them right up there
For the color of their skin
Right up in our tree
That tree we carved our names into
Heart with an arrow
Shot clean through
I can't forget him
I can't forget them
I hope you never will
Hate them for what they believe in
Hates me back for the very same
Take these guns onto the fields
Our blood runs onto its leaves
Those leaves that fell so...
End other lives for what we believe
We have taken men
Hung them right up there
For the color of their skin
Right up in our tree
That tree we carved our names into
Heart with an arrow
Shot clean through
I can't forget him
I can't forget them
I hope you never will
Hate them for what they believe in
Hates me back for the very same
Take these guns onto the fields
Our blood runs onto its leaves
Those leaves that fell so...
