Socially engineered injustice worriers
Gov faux grief portrayal
Crisis actors cry about cheque points
Tenderly stoking the bondfire
playing with the good hearted
Like marionettes being pulled towards hate
In the name of love
You get too near a bears cub
And the bear kills you
That's real compassion
Something the emotionally fraught don't understand
Remember it was Hitler who said
I use emotion for the many
Reserving reason for the few
And lo, hysteria is cast like a spell

Cannibal
When he looks at me, and calls me beautiful
He doesn't see me as his wife, but as his next meal
He doesn't see me as his wife, but as his next meal

Apathy asked but little, aquired everything
A mute child
A mother too afraid to talk
A demented father struggling to hold on
A boy with a collapsed family for support
And here I am as confidante
A laughing dead mockingbird
Absolutely flightless
Abusing the breakdown of relations
Astutely mimicking desire
A counselor who listens well
Absorbing all the failings
Attempting little accusations
Analysing admissions
Affectionately attired
As armour for the broken
Acknowledging the denials
Abruptly interrupting
Always taking it in
And eventually ...
A mother too afraid to talk
A demented father struggling to hold on
A boy with a collapsed family for support
And here I am as confidante
A laughing dead mockingbird
Absolutely flightless
Abusing the breakdown of relations
Astutely mimicking desire
A counselor who listens well
Absorbing all the failings
Attempting little accusations
Analysing admissions
Affectionately attired
As armour for the broken
Acknowledging the denials
Abruptly interrupting
Always taking it in

Alone'n'Poor
Sadness in her soul
Madness in her mind
She weeps for the love she knows
She'll never find.

With a stray acquaintance, I call love
Lying perpetually
A way to keep up appearances
This joyous smile
So false it's spiteful
Cursing in silence this mirage
Which I meander as
One of many personas
Perfected, but far from perfect
Honesty is the bogeyman
Under which I should be caught
Could a simple slip of intention
From being alone
In a quiet dark place
With someone no one knew
Be all it took?
Being stranded through opportunity
With a stray acquaintance
Who knew only what she'd been taught
Of me? Not much to share
So easily could it...
A way to keep up appearances
This joyous smile
So false it's spiteful
Cursing in silence this mirage
Which I meander as
One of many personas
Perfected, but far from perfect
Honesty is the bogeyman
Under which I should be caught
Could a simple slip of intention
From being alone
In a quiet dark place
With someone no one knew
Be all it took?
Being stranded through opportunity
With a stray acquaintance
Who knew only what she'd been taught
Of me? Not much to share
So easily could it...

Vote
Politics? I won’t vote for it,
Because everybody is a liar and they only do as they see fit.
Without consequence, they miss-represent.
The truth is just an afterthought.
Forget the house of common sense.
You gave them the power to ruin your life,
By voting for a change of time and closing your eyes
And with fingers crossed, you hope for the best,
But too soon they just forget,
Every promise they made before they took their chance…again.
Now they will do all they can to stay
And stop you ever getting your way.
They take...

The cruelest thing
Went over my old poems here
like flicking through an old photo album
mostly shit, some deeply profound
many about you, my love and intent
clear as fucking day
Starting to question yours though
sure feeling played the fool
orchestred like only you can
what you trying to do paint me a monster, fucking erase me,
what was I to you nothing more than a sperm donor something to be cast aside
erased, as if an immaculate conception occurred, rather than the love that was there, from my perspective anyway
what you want to piss...

Stupidity Has No Name
When one starves
with intent
Ones
commonsense
logical reasoning
Thoughts
When one
has a list
of other peoples
Excuses
on the reasons why
Open Debate
on things
that effects us all
should not
be allowed
One has become
No matter the cost
No matter the pain
an eager to please
Wannabe great
within the eyes
of those
who create
Mass Graves
with intent
Ones
commonsense
logical reasoning
Thoughts
When one
has a list

Breaking the Rules
I really thought I knew
But I was sadly mistaken
The advantage over me
You had easily taken
The wool had completely
Covered my eyes
As I fell for all your excuses
Promises and lies
You were so dame convincing
Played the part so well
All the while pretending
And I could never even tell
Until the day you faltered
And let your true self out
I finally got a glimpse
Of what you were about
I couldn't really believe it
I didn't want it to be so
But now that you're exposed
I have no...
But I was sadly mistaken

You had easily taken

Covered my eyes

Played the part so well

Kerosene on the bridges
Scorched earth
your style to be sure
Silence
screamed louder
than CAPS LOCKED words could
Tail spin
point of no return
smashed flaming wreckage
pissed on my heart
that you once ignited
there's no coming back
once you've burnt all the bridges
your style to be sure
Silence
screamed louder
than CAPS LOCKED words could
Tail spin
point of no return
smashed flaming wreckage
pissed on my heart
that you once ignited
there's no coming back
once you've burnt all the bridges

Player
You pulled me so deep into you:
I drowned
You fuckin' killed me!
I, now, lie abandoned amidst other skeletons
on the dark frigid bottom of your soulless sea...
While you...
you beckon with your playful waves
your next prey to devour...
I drowned
You fuckin' killed me!
I, now, lie abandoned amidst other skeletons
on the dark frigid bottom of your soulless sea...
While you...
you beckon with your playful waves
