More.
Thank you God, for everything.
But we’re sorry, it’s just not enough.
Because even a life a universe beyond
The dreams of the unluckiest amongst us,
Cannot stand resolute forever,
In the unshakable and brutal roars,
Of a brain hardwired through centuries of evolution,
Destined to infinite greed.
So please be kind,
And please forgive us,
In these childish moments,
Where all gratitude is disregarded,
And demands are made to further move heaven and earth,
To fix a life that was so abruptly no longer enough -
A shameful...

Basically Kate, I've honestly seen better legs on a Chippendale chair!
By Stanley Collymore
The constant fawning over an
inured racist Karen and very
similarly an unrelentingly
plainly obsessively stalking gold-digger
tart who essentially struck it lucky has
literally, really gone beyond just tacky!
Commonsensically there's absolutely
no way fittingly that Kate Middleton's
midi-length dress would distinctively
have voluntarily or even accidentally
very naturally risen up that much on
its own, and clearly was basically a
deliberately staged con to naturally
rather literally complement...

Present.
A jharkhandis people thrust for bengal blood and a bloody thief wife greed for bungalow in kolkata led us to ranchi.The most unforgiving city. Our family went through sun heat heart attacks and Dystopia. All
Responsibly under Shelly and Sibu
They were planning to take our ancestral property in kolkata. Especially Shelly.
We had to run door to door for shelter.
Food and earning and we are continuing doing the same since 2013.We lost money time people friends belongings. We went under harsh malfunctions of hospital. My sister Sudeshna runs for job with no time limit....

Raining Dust
Verse 1
Quick, grab an umbrella
it's time to die fella
can't you see? It's raining dust
no one left to trust
shadows burned into the wall
waiting on the last bomb to fall
Chorus
Dust falling on the playground
burying the youth without a sound
killing to prove a point
no time to waste, just roll another joint
Verse 2
Are those airplanes I hear?
Is that the shadow of death drawing near?
Does it even matter to you?
Tell me Mr. Senator, are you okay?
I'm sure your...

Dealer's choice
You make the world go 'round with every buy
yet so many hungry still die
empty hearts leaving their marks on the world
hiding their gains they have squirrelled
hiding their paper sins from the masses
in hopes that your unease soon passes.
In this game, where every choice is felt
you cannot trust the dealer who dealt
His friends the poverty and you the remains
fold now and walk away with your gains
meager though they be
no one profits from your misery.
No, this is a dealer's choice
watching the foolish and desperate...

Has Kate Middleton as yet, quite mastered the skill of walking on water as well?
By Stanley Collymore
Kate Middleton giving her brats a
normal life oozes her dreadfully
and risibly literally infatuated
father-in-law, discernibly self-evidently
literally undoubtedly no classic father
himself evidently, by any sane means
and who by his own admission had a
really lousy upbringing with distinctly
pathetically hopeless parents, simply
as he himself, clearly unquestionably
subsequently became when crucially
he too, evidently became a biological
father and purported parent of sorts!
So Charles'...

The Boys Are Back In Town
The Boys are Back in Town
Billy Burke and Billy Hare
Creeping back streets to Surgeons Square,
With a ‘shot’, fresh, in a box
The boys done a little business
For their good friend Dr Knox.
Waiting, waiting, waiting for the night
The shadows and the darkness keep us from your sight
Patient, patient, patiently we wait
Someone's coming closer, closer to their fate.
Under a bridge, by the black canal
The Irish lads wait, for a pretty gal.
Mary...

There are not many big elephants left on the savannah
Near the houses where I live elephants are a bit smaller

like kings, who think killing big animals is masculine
like having a secret mistress, but not too concealed
because if no one knows, why bother?
The small elephants that have yet to get a Latin name

Birthright oughtn't to be a criterion let alone the sole one for Head of State of a 21st Century Britain!
By Stanley Collymore
This has absolutely nothing at all
to do with envy or any form of
an impassioned disrespect
for one's own country. Since in fact, it is
unquestionably and clearly markedly a
state of mind that's wholly contrary, to
what sycophants literally like yourself
are risibly rather dimwittedly thinking
and personally enjoying; crucially the
term sycophant. For quite irrefutably
as any person who's unquestionably
clearly distinctively not intellectually
challenged most evidently distinctly
can see, quite...

Remembrance Sunday - the perennial virtue signalling charade the war mongers love to play!
By Stanley Collymore
Remembering those that quite
genuinely fought for what
they simply earnestly
and honestly thoroughly believed in and
subsequently paid for, with the distinct
loss of their individual, and undeniably
collective lives, the obviously ultimate
penalty for doing so is one thing, and
undoubtedly, a simply commendable
praiseworthily endorsement of them
essentially on your part! Sanctifying,
