One day I ate a porcelain plate.
I endeavoured 2 eat it all.
Within a matter of minutes.
The porcelain plate swallowed me whole.

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...

Sowing the Seed
They plant the seed
then we breed
what they knead
to feed
the masses
to sustain
social classes
and religious clashes
HATE... [it]
FEAR... [it]
INTOLERANCE... [of it]
Sterilize yourself!

how your view

From a photo, 1944
There was a war on the menfolk had gone soldiering
a boy of thirteen and a half was ploughing the field
handling two grey geldings.
The soil looked rich and loose, perfect for Idaho spuds
the big delicious plant ideal for backing.
The boy wore overalls and was absorbed in his work
keeping the plough in a straight line and the horses

Guilty Xmas
There's a rainbow over Tesco's
it's consumerism's curse
The turkey's on day three
and the sprouts have done their worst
Now I love a bit of tinsel
and I'm partial to a drop
but when the planet's had a skinful
she knows when it's time to stop
There'll soon be New Year and then Easter
Halloween and Valentine
celebrating our excesses
with no thought for things divine
If only God would point a finger
at our greedy way of life
when half the world is starving
he'd say share and share alike
it's consumerism's curse
The turkey's on day three
and the sprouts have done their worst
Now I love a bit of tinsel
and I'm partial to a drop
but when the planet's had a skinful
she knows when it's time to stop
There'll soon be New Year and then Easter
Halloween and Valentine
celebrating our excesses
with no thought for things divine
If only God would point a finger

when half the world is starving

"TO ALL THE HUSTLERS "
I remember, when 🤔 all I ever wanted to be in my life, was just a hustler!
Some don't get it, and some its all about the dollars!!
No matter how you put it, anywhere in America, most of us street scholars!!
Never even bothered to attempt to follow the rules!
No excuses for let downs, take backs, back-biters, double minded, consumers, keep consuming!!
To all the hustlers, here's a prayer, hoping 🙏 it touches, to all those so called players!!
To happen to fall back, and repeat this hustlers prayer! ...

Monopoly Goals.
What good,is much money,
A piece of paper,
2 the Universe,
Worth nothing,
Worth nothing, at all.
If you've,
No HAPPY,
No HAPPY,
No HAPPINESS,
In which you,
Can call,rely,upon.
What Goes,
What Goes,
What Goes.
Un--hook,
From materially Being,
Much,much,Being,
So tired,
Of Being,
Held down,
By materially driven,
Monopoly Goals.
Currency,ain't Money.
Currency,is Energy,
Life Force,Memory,Energy, ...

Food f**kin Hates Me
Food... Hurts...
Everything has alliums in it
Bet you dont know what that is
The alliums that exists in your food
You'd be amazed by the things
You just dont notice when nothing hurts you
It's in every savory thing you put in your mouth
And yet you stand there and tell me it can't be
So you read the ingredients and your eyes twitches
As you grab and scan item after item
It's in everything, huh? Can't imagine how that feels
Now just fucking imagine if you were intolerant to it
That it makes you puke simply because
your body cant...

Old Grey Shirt
When I think about it, my old grey shirt and I have been on quite a journey together.
It has accompanied me through thick and thin for many years,
Appearing at key moments in lots of photos, my historic attire.
Wearing a shirt such as mine, you can't go wrong with a neutral colour like grey -
And I never stand out; it goes with anything I wear, from difficult greens to well...
Difficult greens!
I bought that shirt five years ago or so, maybe longer, who knows?
I'm sure it's only a Primark label; why would I have gone elsewhere to spend more?! ...

Bent Tent.
Sent
The bent
Tent
2 the girl friend
Who lived down
The road.
She responded
By sending
Me a mobile phone.
IPhone
I have you know.
No other phone
Will do,
No-- No!
Inserting the micro sim card in
I thought of the
Bent tent I sent
2 the girl friend.
Who lived down
The road
Down the road
And who generously
Gave me a mobile IPhone.
