Word of the day (Fanfaronade)
Toff by day, sonneteer by night,
Is the formula for success
In alleviating our country's blight
Of anti cultural duress...
Which sweeps through all the trailer parks
And all the Wall Street kings of cash
Who demonstrate with their remarks
That the rich, as well, can be white trash.
And when the market drops again,
Just like a trucker's massive dump,
Do not be shocked when folks complain
About that bonehead Donald Trump,
Whose...fanfaronade...is a curse
That only makes our country worse.
Is the formula for success
In alleviating our country's blight
Of anti cultural duress...
Which sweeps through all the trailer parks
And all the Wall Street kings of cash
Who demonstrate with their remarks
That the rich, as well, can be white trash.
And when the market drops again,
Just like a trucker's massive dump,
Do not be shocked when folks complain
About that bonehead Donald Trump,
Whose...fanfaronade...is a curse
That only makes our country worse.

Ceasefire
I live for a time when the last bullet flies
when they lay down their arms
and lift up the pen
when freedom is won in the heart
and captivity's gates are opened
gunfire is exchanged for handshake
names with no rank defend their state of mind
the victory of no mother burying her son
drum march to revelry, playing songs of celebration
nightmares of veterans laid to rest
last rites whispered no more
over limb-torn bodies
thunder and lightening the only terror
shackles and chains broken
released from stockade and whip ...
when they lay down their arms

I can't claim credit
I am an Anarchist.
If you are hungry, I will offer food.
If you are thirsty, I will offer water.
If you are cold, I will offer warmth.
If you are in need, ask and I will give.
If you are in trouble, ask and I will help.
I do not do these things in the hopes of being rewarded.
I do not do these things out of fear of punishment.
I do these things because I know them to be right.
I set my own standards and I alone enforce them.
I am an Anarchist.
If you are hungry, I will offer food.
If you are thirsty, I will offer water.
If you are cold, I will offer warmth.
If you are in need, ask and I will give.
If you are in trouble, ask and I will help.
I do not do these things in the hopes of being rewarded.
I do not do these things out of fear of punishment.
I do these things because I know them to be right.
I set my own standards and I alone enforce them.
I am an Anarchist.

The Facts
Everday I am an internet sleuth
in search of the truth
Bc all around me are rumors and conspiracy theories
that I track down using Edge, Firefox and Chrome quires
Nowadays even the Supreme court now has leaks
with twist and turns more bizarre than an episode of twin peaks
The Ex-President has told 30,00 lies alone
multiply that with Congress via MSM on the phone
I like my sex and my data raw
and am a stickler for accuracy bc it is monkeypox not paw
I find it hard to relax
bc I am always looking for-The...

Protesting Munchies
Pieces of titties and pussies scattered all about the floor
I've got a semi erection but I just can't eat any more
Hahaha the stench is smothering, the walls are painted with blood and shit
I'm going back through these fucking purses for an over looked hit
All up in the corner prying one bag out of a bitches hands
She's twenty-four hours dead and I still can't get that purse out of that hand
Clutched in some death defying grip this shit had better have money in it
It took a sledgehammer and a crowbar to get the money and those fucking hits
...

By Force
He hit me with his angry mind
no vengeance could I seek
crushed me with malevolence
my sheild merely to speak
That rabid dog, with gnashing cuffs
I could not blame the metal
my words brought out an animal
defiance was my letter
His rage bore down upon my chest
my cries fell on deaf ears
barraged against my formless threat
his mother's voice he feared
My female form now bruised, no pride
in tatters where I lay
he struck me down, emotions blind
this fight was lost today
no vengeance could I seek
crushed me with malevolence
my sheild merely to speak
That rabid dog, with gnashing cuffs
I could not blame the metal
my words brought out an animal
defiance was my letter
His rage bore down upon my chest
my cries fell on deaf ears
barraged against my formless threat
his mother's voice he feared
My female form now bruised, no pride
in tatters where I lay
he struck me down, emotions blind
this fight was lost today

Equanimity
Just one man wanting to get rich
Is an act of social sabotage
When Mother Nature is a finite bitch
Where wealth itself is only camouflage;
A test to check for that demerit greed,
Which is one of many character flaws
We separate from legitimate need
With good reason, and scientific laws,
Which prove that capitalism is bad;
Selling community by exclusion,
When community can be fairly had
By steady commodity extrusion...
Liberated from those marketing schemes
That willfully crush equality dreams!
Is an act of social sabotage
When Mother Nature is a finite bitch
Where wealth itself is only camouflage;
A test to check for that demerit greed,
Which is one of many character flaws
We separate from legitimate need
With good reason, and scientific laws,
Which prove that capitalism is bad;
Selling community by exclusion,
When community can be fairly had
By steady commodity extrusion...
Liberated from those marketing schemes
That willfully crush equality dreams!

The All Evil Root
They call themselves Christians, or so I hear,
And state that Christ spoke the ultimate word
Yet still they wallow in anger and fear
And vote for things that are clearly absurd!
Nothing shatters reason like the devout
And gathering evidence is so dull
When all you want is to flip out and shout
About shitty idols shaped like a bull.
But where in all that is discipleship
That values the old golden rule
Which philosophers say is a trip
They've been on since their Sundays in school?
With one cheek they say it's good to love Christ, ...
And state that Christ spoke the ultimate word
Yet still they wallow in anger and fear
And vote for things that are clearly absurd!
Nothing shatters reason like the devout
And gathering evidence is so dull
When all you want is to flip out and shout

The Status Woe
Calculation, that Lord of tedium,
Has never the less earned it's ugly place
Amid the testing of all medium
Down to an infinitesimal trace,
Making the most of data collection
Yet always put first to evil intent,
Which has the meek exploring abjection
Until their modest resources are spent.
War Department stockholders come first
Because there is profit with munitions
And clearly poor people deserve the worst
Should they constrain a tycoon's ambitions,
Like premeditated tax evasion
And violent Caucasian invasion!
Has never the less earned it's ugly place
Amid the testing of all medium
Down to an infinitesimal trace,
Making the most of data collection
Yet always put first to evil intent,
Which has the meek exploring abjection
Until their modest resources are spent.
War Department stockholders come first
Because there is profit with munitions
And clearly poor people deserve the worst
Should they constrain a tycoon's ambitions,
Like premeditated tax evasion
And violent Caucasian invasion!

In Silico
isolated and purified?
shown to exist?
Designed by polygons
illustrated, demonstrated;
seeing is believing
ignorance is currency
postulates unmet
questions denied
humanity in chains
neo-priests, irrefutable
truth in silico
roll up, roll up
like lambs to the slaughter
for art, unimaginable
For those with eyes
See
look
discern
Leaders party
unconcerned by their own lies
old people isolated
livelihoods on lockdown
faces gagged
distance measured
for health
Sun...

empire collapse
empire collapse,
eye contact tear us apart across the street
people dancing and screaming
no amount of letters written in the past upon times of
desperation
can make up for this moment of ravage
biting my soul on fire through the streams of blissful unconscious days behind me and
everyone
alive in this chaos
I never left
never will, deep in dreams I dance upon your pumping blood
the sense of something unsaid
and swimming down the road,
tossing over and over frantic on the foam,
I am free by my limbs possessed in...
