Bathe In Ashes
Where your world lay dead, covered in gore
Fear left behind at the dawn of our passing
Each who stood before the other
As if it were their own.
Love we let go blind
At the mere mention of hopes death
And our dreams become the hell we knew too well
Do you sleep often without stirring
A comfortable blanket to betray your knowing
A wooly hide for the hunted
Thoughts of money to drive you onwards
For what little time we are allotted
Before you must shut your doors
Or break down theirs again.
How many goodbyes will...
Fear left behind at the dawn of our passing
Each who stood before the other
As if it were their own.
Love we let go blind
At the mere mention of hopes death
And our dreams become the hell we knew too well
Do you sleep often without stirring
A comfortable blanket to betray your knowing
A wooly hide for the hunted
Thoughts of money to drive you onwards
For what little time we are allotted
Before you must shut your doors
Or break down theirs again.
How many goodbyes will...

Record the Actions of the Police
The law on public photography and videography allows a person to shoot photos and videos in public settings.
Privacy does not exist in a public space, so people can record any event that takes place publicly.
When something happens before the eyes of the public, why should someone not photograph or video it?
A police officer cannot charge someone with invasion of privacy for taking pictures or recording videos in public.
The government of Jamaica wants to pass a law to make it illegal for a civilian to video the police when they are doing their jobs.
If...

For the People, and For the Earth!
- For the People, and For the Earth! -
It is not infrequently, that upon witnessing the state of things in the world I find myself moved to thus ponder what of it should be changed. I behold this dark era wherein brutish regimes goad their countries to war against innocent nations, who valor in defending themselves reminds me of such struggles in the ages of the past. Though that may as well be a world away from where I live, I feel the pain of each and every innocent that dies in such conflicts. And then I look at the nation I live in, where people are each and every day...

WOLVES IN SHEEPLES CLOTHING PT1
They said it came from China
They said this COVID-19 VIRUS
in other words "SARS-COV-2"
killed more then 15 million
Around the world Or so they say.
Though there's no proof of the virus.
But the Sheeple are panicking for their lives.
All you hear on the news is about the virus.
They said they said it came from China
From a bat at a fish market,
Then they said it leaked from the lab
Now they are saying
it came from a raccoon dog.
This is getting confusing now
So where did it come from ? ...

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...

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. ...

Child Sexual Exploitation and Violence
Our patriarchal culture normalizes significant damage to young girls who are still growing into themselves and learning what life is about. It's seen as a "normal" thing for big men to be with school girls. Young girls (particularly Black girls) are often labelled as "fast" and "grown." The blame is always heaped at their feet and this ensures that big men can continue to prey on them without ever receiving any criticism/repercussion for their predatory actions. Victim blaming is dangerous and results in many silently accepting abuse because they know majority of society will have no real...

Justice
Blacks get more time than whites.
The police love to read our rights.
The justice system is so damn dirty.
Damn, they don't show any mercy.
They're supposed to serve and protect.
But yet they don't give us any respect.
Because it's the color of my skin.
Like being black is an awful sin.
They say we gotta vote for change.
These laws gotta be rearranged.
Living in this world we're not equal.
We live in a world full of evil.
I'm not doing this for likes and views.
Blacks being killed is always in the news.
When...

Self Provided Philosophical Fellatio
Am I normal?
Am I regular?
Am I different?
Am I special?
How do I fit in?
Where do I fit in?
Who are my people?
Where is my home?
These are all questions that in this modern age of a more liberal society all young adults are almost required to ask themselves. Everywhere, people always want to know where they fit in and how they are special. But the problem with this progression fueled thought process where we give people more and more reins and labels to control themselves and live their own lives, as they...

"home"
home;
i don't even know....
it's not what it seems;
it's not the place one wishes
it could be....
home;
an illusion of stability;
a place where most would"kill" to be;
the rug underneath one's feet-
snatched away from lack of "currency" or due to dependency....
home....

Allowed
Can you see what we have allowed
Looking out of your bedroom window and seeing the fire rain down
There are nuclear missiles posing as storm clouds
Nothing can be done, we've given up our voice's sound
At one time a proud and voiced people
Ranked among the top as freedoms keepers
But at some point our spines dissolved into a gel
Not to worry we also gave away our brains as well
The spines dissolving gives us an excuse for doing nothing
Pretending that we thought our leaders were only just bluffing
Idly watching each and every...

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
All were...
