Self-deification
And a raven came wrap wrap wrapping on my door,
And I called “who’s there and what for?”,
And the raven called back but as a murder of crows,
It was Raum at my door who beckons and bellows,
A set of odd fellows arranged in rows,
And a melancholic song my quartet did play upon chello’s.
They played a requiem, low and slow,
A tune that whispered secrets only the dead could know.
The air grew heavy with the scent of decay,
As Raum’s hollow laughter led the melody astray.
The crows in their murder, with eyes like coal,
Bore...

Another day dawns
And I'm propped up
Like a pale corpse
To lead charge into battle
Pushed and berated on
A beast of burden
With no reprieve
From bound shackles
Sent home a shell
To my loves
A broken boned
Fading soul
And I'm propped up
Like a pale corpse
To lead charge into battle
Pushed and berated on
A beast of burden
With no reprieve
From bound shackles
Sent home a shell
To my loves
A broken boned
Fading soul

Ever Year Is A Piece Of Shit
The faded yellow light of the room bears relentlessly down on me in the last minutes of the year. The soft greys and blacks of my desktop's dark mode seem like a good - but not perfect - metaphor for the colors with which I've painted my life for years now. And just as I'm cooling off from another frustrating and utterly pointless game in which I can barely achieve anything above average, I realize once again just how much I hate everything.
I would blame it all on the year before, or on the year before that. I'm trying to pinpoint a moment when the crisis began - when the boulder...

Grey
In the midst of all this grey
I'm growing colder every day
Feeling smaller than before
Don't know what I'm living for
I am lost in endless crowd
Never seen and never found
Nameless face in joyless place
Just a body taking space
Innocence has taken flight
Along with all I thought was right
I am losing sight of light
Lose myself in endless night
Robbed of comfort, stolen truth
Memory scrambled and confused
Forgotten love from long ago
You'll forget me too, I know
Life is pain and death's...
I'm growing colder every day
Feeling smaller than before
Don't know what I'm living for
I am lost in endless crowd
Never seen and never found
Nameless face in joyless place
Just a body taking space
Innocence has taken flight
Along with all I thought was right
I am losing sight of light
Lose myself in endless night
Robbed of comfort, stolen truth
Memory scrambled and confused
Forgotten love from long ago
You'll forget me too, I know
Life is pain and death's...

Give the people in the world
Give the people in the world
A chance to embrace peace
Give the people in the world
A chance to make friends
Give the people in the world
A chance for a better education
So it can help them to get
A better paying job
Give the people in the world
A chance for them to love each other
Give a chance for the people in the world to pray
Give a chance for the people in the world to learn
To be happy
Give a chance for the people in the world to learn
To eat healthy
And to learn to take better care of their health

Despair
The rain fell hard, it cleansed our eyes,
But left us staring at the lies.
The skies burned red, but fire we saw,
Each dawn became another fall.
Through frozen hearts and weary bones,
We wandered, lost, with bloodied tones.
Our hands now scarred, we face our fate
Freedom, came too late.
But left us staring at the lies.
The skies burned red, but fire we saw,
Each dawn became another fall.
Through frozen hearts and weary bones,
We wandered, lost, with bloodied tones.
Our hands now scarred, we face our fate
Freedom, came too late.

Explorations
Too small to explore
the sea of the unknown:
island existence
breathing hell of darkness
dreading hungry excursions

To Ginny
Goodbye my love, this is my forlorn, farewell
For when midnight chimed, twas a fateful knell
With one, last, tired breath, we were torn apart
Hence, these words, are from my broken heart
I know you were stubborn and would not be told
You were also kind and loving, with a heart of gold
So I will take some solace, on your summer's day
And from my idle reveries, you will never stray
Now that you're free from fear, I can ease the pain
Even though, my love, time's not ours to claim
For the anguish ended, when you lost the fight ...
For when midnight chimed, twas a fateful knell
With one, last, tired breath, we were torn apart
Hence, these words, are from my broken heart
I know you were stubborn and would not be told
You were also kind and loving, with a heart of gold
So I will take some solace, on your summer's day
And from my idle reveries, you will never stray
Now that you're free from fear, I can ease the pain
Even though, my love, time's not ours to claim
For the anguish ended, when you lost the fight ...

I been lost
I been lost
So many days without seeing
My father
And I wonder if he will came back to me
Father I am nothing without you
I need you in my life father
What part can you understand father?
That I am lonely without you
Father please return to me
I am now begging you to return
To me
So many days without seeing
My father
And I wonder if he will came back to me
Father I am nothing without you
I need you in my life father
What part can you understand father?
That I am lonely without you
Father please return to me
I am now begging you to return
To me

Loonies still complaining about the colour of obviously fictional cartoon characters!
By Stanley Collymore
It's a shame the same consideration
isn't give to the history nonsense
taught in a rather widespread
fashion within white Western organized and
obviously run schools, all of them depicting
all Black people as essentially slaves, while
pushing European features as the standard
of beauty. How do these clearly, discernibly
ingrained morons, suppose little Black kids
feel, being systematically told, that nothing beautiful or even vaguely so, does or really, ...
