Tin Foil King
I don’t want to dream
Light lost and languid sleep
The demise of paper queens
Bow to the tin foil king
Shepherding sheep
On cliffs with bloody feet
Mothers weep
Dragons teeth sink deep
Wounds seep
infection
Perception deepens
Depending on innovation
Creation
Masterbating to factories emasculation
Take back the medication
Cracked open at seams
Hypocrisy beams
Power is leprocy
Abolish the hierarchy
I am tired
Crucify the beast
Bow to the tin foil...

Who's The Enemy
Who are the fearmongers, that even bygone gods, would forsake
Holier-than-thou, when they sermonize, they're preachers of hate
Or are there no questions, to be asked, amongst humanity's flock
Submissive to the end, as the avaricious gaze upon us and mock
There's no rhyme or reason, for us to fear the harmless unknown
Hysteria though, is their poisonous seed, that can easily be sown
Every doubt evinced, funds the venality of the corrupted in power
Entrenching the demagoguery of delusions, to make us all cower
Narcissistic leaders and their oligarch...

A Tyrant’s Reality
Half thoughts and cares
exploit your family for
profit
throw your colleagues
under the bus
despot nepotism
but I maintain there is
a code
la cosa nostra
cool customer
finneas monk
Chuck Klosterman
young torso
how can you fail?

Abattoir
Scattered like a scared herd
Stampeding the earth
Kicking up clouds of dust
Into the dry air.
A sense of looming doom
Towers over us
Like the eyes of heaven
If it's balconies were overrun
Overwhelmed at every angle
We are fatigued and drugged
Into disgruntled submission
Quietly, nervously awaiting
A sense of foreboding
Or overly anxious nerves
Meet the breaking silence
Hearing indignant bellows.
Chaotically, we march to our deaths
With no particular order,
But the...

TELL ME-(USE WORDS).
You gotta be joking,
What u saying,
Ain't no time for his-tor-ry.
Was on a Mission,
Instigating wars in every Cu-un-try!
Get down Boy,
Move out my way.
Can't bear 2 see u suffer this way.
They Tell Me,
Its time 2 deliver.
They Tell Me,
I gotta move up a gear.
Persuade me,
Its right now or never.
Don't u want 2 Die,fully Aware?

An ode to "The Ops" by Ashley_M_Hardy
An ode to "The Ops" by Ashley_M_Hardy
They, those viperous creatures
Those villainous parasites
They, who suck
Not cocks, not pussies
White and red
That, which keeps us upright
Corpulses that keeps us breathing
Those parasites in power
Who bleed us dry
Who turns a blind eye
Who fornicates with evil
Who empowers hatred
Those monstrous vultures
We call government
It's not just prevelant
In the red white n blue
But has been forever
In the green white and gold ...

Mobilize And Rezist!
If the parasites exist
Mobilize and rezist!
Cyborgs control us, even though they're less than 1 per cent
The megalomaniac hybrids, think that they are heaven sent
They control our needs (for theirs) and they give no quarter
While we, the placid flocks, like sheep, are led to slaughter
They have hidden a myriad of lies, to disguise their virus
Turned a blind eye, then stepped aside and not beside us
For we're the worthless billions, of their personal chattels
Just a necessary evil, trapped, in their invisible shackles
They...

farmlands
The Farmland
The mid-west of the USA flat plain many farmers
tilling rich soil; red barns under a blue sky.
The community thrived, cows and horses in the fields
the Amis people lived nearby in peace with God.
There was harmony here and whispering grass.
Agricultural – business moved in, bought up land
the farmers could not compete and sold out.
Empty barns, fading colours, falling into disrepair
No cows in the field, no horses or dogs
Silent despair of ruined homesteads hangs
In the bitter wind telling of failure.
This is...

… ticket to frown town
those who think
with a one track,
like a train on a line..
forward to back
a familiar act,
been there a thousand times,
worn out rails
and ties are cracked,
crash and burn anytime,
old scenery
devoid of fact,
fake tickets for rundown minds,
just passengers
with heads in a sack,
to towns for the intellectually blind.

the brown bear
The brown bear
During Yeltsin years when he sold Russia down the river
People in the west loved the brown bear
we patronized the Russian as vodka swilling village idiots.
The cuddly bear died, and a steely-eyed fox to the helm
and the Russians was no longer cuddly.
The Russian federation was no longer willing to play
the game ascribed by the western press no longer willing
to be pushed around and laughed at.
Putin, the fox, turned Russia into a modern state that has
a modern army that is powerful if stirred by the west.
Russia...

Funeral Pyres
Forest fires raged, as our incinerated cinders fell as ash
Under cremation palls, where lightning bolts would flash
No one would know our fate, for the autocrats were liars
Every fire, they fuelled, they fuelled for our funeral pyres
Ravaged by disease, they chose not to quell the spread
As those, with despotic power, preferred to see us dead
Leaving us to rot in pits, or hiding us, amongst the trees
Purifying our decay, as the napalm scorched the breeze
Yesterday's gone, but it's when megalomaniacs reigned
Razing all before them, as messiahs were...
Under cremation palls, where lightning bolts would flash
No one would know our fate, for the autocrats were liars
Every fire, they fuelled, they fuelled for our funeral pyres
Ravaged by disease, they chose not to quell the spread

Political
Trying to keep people apart
Dividing the black and the white
Making us hate each other
Explaining what's wrong and what's right
When in reality, we are similar
We all got a lot of issues
Personal shit we can't explain
We all have our miscues
You are either red or blue
Told that you are racist or crazy
That you either love others
And that your mind is getting hazy
Grouping one into all
Trying to scare us into hatred
Giving all the evil news
And what they give is so sacred
All we see is...
Dividing the black and the white
Making us hate each other
Explaining what's wrong and what's right
When in reality, we are similar
We all got a lot of issues
Personal shit we can't explain
We all have our miscues
You are either red or blue
Told that you are racist or crazy
That you either love others
And that your mind is getting hazy
Grouping one into all
Trying to scare us into hatred
Giving all the evil news
And what they give is so sacred
All we see is...
