The Valley of Ashes
Prosperity depends
On those willing to sacrifice their bones
For the rungs of its ladder:
Ash smothers sunlight
The phoenix impotent, unable to resurrect
Choking, sputtering
Victim of silk-stocking poachers
Pervasive ash defiles pink lungs
A decaying fungus
Violating bodies, corrupting spirits
Before dousing out sanguine sparks
It is here that the river Styx,
With froth of dust and surf of soot,
Sunders the world of the living
From hegemonized proletariats
During their sprint to heaven ...
On those willing to sacrifice their bones
For the rungs of its ladder:
Ash smothers sunlight
The phoenix impotent, unable to resurrect
Choking, sputtering
Victim of silk-stocking poachers
Pervasive ash defiles pink lungs
A decaying fungus
Violating bodies, corrupting spirits
Before dousing out sanguine sparks
It is here that the river Styx,
With froth of dust and surf of soot,
Sunders the world of the living
From hegemonized proletariats
During their sprint to heaven ...

political B.S...in U.K and U.S
Sometimes it seems
all too much...to deal with
between the news
here…and the news there…
"reality seems so unreal"...
I got news for you...surreal too
but that's even more frightening, I fear.

Socialism's Dirty Marx
Communism and socialism
Are two cheeks of the same arse
Name one, just one country
That is a successful socialist country
You can rhyme of some Nordic
Countries, I say wait a while
Socialism equals genocide
Totalitarian regimes murder
Without conscience or concern
Mao's China case in point
The worst genocide in history
Stalin's Russian revolution
Second-worst genocide in history
Hitler’s Socialist Workers Party
Genocide and the final solution
Socialism is slaughterism
Make no mistake if adopted
You will kill...

Everything doesn’t seem right
Everything’s always uptight
Like the world is so dead on their sight
Like the truths out the bag, yet we giveaway rights
We are beings of light
Black screens, black magic
What a tragic
Black screens, black magic
What a tragic
Black screens, black magic
What a tragic

Everything doesn’t seem right
Everything’s always uptight
Like the world is so dead on their sight
Like the truths out the bag, yet...

Our Warning For You.
We will not tolerate your domination,
Over our manipulated principals,
Any longer.
We are aching with animus,
Against your drone of tyranny,
Undermining our defiance,
All these years.
But we are cognizance here forward,
Throbbing with malice and retribution,
As we emerge from the shroud of despotism,
Vigilant and conscious.
And we will not be held responsible,
For the fall of your crooked aides,
During our bloody struggle.
Neither held culpable for,
The inevitable devastation of,
Your perfectly...
Over our manipulated principals,
Any longer.
We are aching with animus,
Against your drone of tyranny,
Undermining our defiance,
All these years.
But we are cognizance here forward,
Throbbing with malice and retribution,
As we emerge from the shroud of despotism,
Vigilant and conscious.
And we will not be held responsible,
For the fall of your crooked aides,
During our bloody struggle.
Neither held culpable for,
The inevitable devastation of,
Your perfectly...

Democracy, a hollow word makes me laugh darkly.
Is the USA a democracy? You can vote every 4 years
Among two parties who spring from the same narrow
The base of the elite and is therefore not Democratic,
but gives the illusion like the democratic republic
Of Kongo, to be one and go to war against those who
Has another opinion, say, freedom from tyranny
And interference of foreign countries.
Freed om is more important than democracy which
Is a hiding place for thieves and land grabbers.
Israel, knee-deep in Palestinian...
