Can't the Windsors do anything without it turning into a PR exercise?
By Stanley Collymore
Charles at 74 years of age
himself is mourning on
mother's day 2023 his
dead 96 years old mother Liz
who, by any definition of the
term, and which also is very
clearly, logically, and rightly
so understood by everyone
other than the cravenly, so
pathetic, quite distinctively
mindless also sycophantic
monarchical serfs and the
surfeit, of unquestionably
likeminded and evidently
significantly, intellectually
challenged ones was too
undeniably, a thoroughly
lousy...

You Could've Been Me
I could have been you ...
Take a look at the sky
Heaven seems so far away
I've stood under the rain
Felt it seep into my brain
I've shut my eyes
Crawled into the mud
I'm afraid of growing old
And shiver when I'm cold
I could have been you
You could have been me
One small change that shapes our destiny
We bleed the same way
If you need proof
Cut me and you will see
Take a walk inside my shoes
A path I did not choose
Change is turning into fear
Fear is melting into hate
Touch what I feel
And know...

Sweet Cherry Pie.
She gave him,
The hole,
Bartered,
As sweet,cherry pie.
And 2 she,
And her daughter,
He provided,
A beautifully violent,
Life,
Life,
Style.
She knows,her friends,are envious,of HER,LIFE.

Never let the truth get in the way of a non story, Daily Mail!
By Stanley Collymore
Charles and loyally the Firm are
adamantly, pulling out the stops

publicity, as they expressly can
and itself very happily assisted

outlets, that are a key element

Much wiser and certainly far cleverer than the Brits, these French guillotine lovers!
By Stanley Collymore
Retain the British monarchy,
the serf sycophants avidly
proclaim, solely and also
allegedly, they ludicrously maintain
because of the phenomenally very
huge amounts of money evidently
which laughably, they themselves
and obviously as well their in situ
presence always supposedly but
in reality not so, magnanimously
effectively bring into the country.
Nah! Unquestionably, the actual,
literally most visited city, across
the western world and distinctly
so within Europe itself is...

Domesticate A Chitlin
In topsy turvy of Rumplestilskin
as the canary swallowed the cat
with toxic reflux
the fleas are locked in the hatbox
canoodling with hairpins
as the casserole flopped
and grew legs
domesticating a chitlin
but not an orange Cheeto
reflecting on my psychoanalysis
oh! here comes, gothic cuisine
with my self-inflated biscuits
stuck in my Igor again
as the canary swallowed the cat
with toxic reflux
the fleas are locked in the hatbox
canoodling with hairpins
as the casserole flopped
and grew legs
domesticating a chitlin
but not an orange Cheeto

Failed humanity
The forest, he travelled had many tracks there was
always something new he had not seen before
like the tree stood out because it was not straight
but bent as a burden untold had befallen it.
In a clearing where rabbits used to sit to catch the morn
Sun, a group of strange people had occupied made
a temporary home, resting after a trek through a world
of entertainment, appearing in circuses being goggled
pointed at and found hideous.

Whites who hate their own kind and racially perceive them as traitors!
By Stanley Collymore
Significant numbers of white
Caucasians unquestionably

specifically the United Kingdom and
Ireland, similarly their kin within the
distinctly genocidally acquired and
now essentially simply exclusively
white controlled, and evidently for
themselves literally automatically
and beneficially run by them and
crucially also, basically hardcore
really convict-infested countries,
undeniably like delusional Terra

The Land of the Free
In a time of guns and roses,
new gods rise and old gods perish,
worshiping the disciples of greed,
and the slavery of youth and beauty,
as the matrix possesses our souls.
Fight all you want, it's already to late,
you sold your dreams in your sleep,
and you stop to think of the land of the free,
believing it's all hypocrisy,
weeping you ask for spare change,
as a policeman kicks you out the door,
now your dreams are just for warm meals,
soylent green is people you see
new gods rise and old gods perish,
worshiping the disciples of greed,
and the slavery of youth and beauty,
as the matrix possesses our souls.
Fight all you want, it's already to late,
you sold your dreams in your sleep,
and you stop to think of the land of the free,
believing it's all hypocrisy,
weeping you ask for spare change,
as a policeman kicks you out the door,
now your dreams are just for warm meals,
soylent green is people you see

Evidently the Tories and likeminded rags like the Daily Mail need to keep their gullible serfs on side!
By Stanley Collymore
Amusing to see the right-wing
tantrums over Gary Lineker
and the solely inevitable
triumphs of the forces of light literally
overcoming, and rather brilliantly so,
those of darkness yet again. Really,
you race haters, nasty hate baiters
and obsessive delusional far right
and Nazi scum patently with your
odious, and egregious notions of
ludicrously, and unchallengeable
white supremacy, should literally
distinctly better work on another
scheme than this obviously and
dismally...

a new language
The new language
It was late August, on a glaringly hot day, when I felt dizzy
went to sit on a gigantic carob tree full of beans on thick leaves
to sit in its cooling shade; it was pitch dark inside, and I could see
nothing at all until my eyes got adjusted.
the sheep, seven of them, had sought relief from the sun’s cruelty
My dog refused to enter; she had been head-butted by a ram
the sheep looked alarmed; another human to order them around
but when I sat down among them, they took me for another ram
they continued to chew, looking...

As always with the far right, free speech is OK as long as they agree with it!
By Stanley Collymore
Gary Lineker literally breaking
the BBC's sacred impartiality
rules? Really? Significantly
though, when narcissist Alan Sugar
outrageously broke the same rules
and significantly, criticized Jeremy
Corbyn nothing was actually ever
said then either by the BBC itself
or the Daily Mail. And, moreover
too, Gary Lineker, clearly wasn't
basically criticising government
policy but, really, in his capacity
and lawful right as a UK citizen
clearly justifiably,...
