Profiting From Fear

nothing off limits

the cloud of abyss
The Cloud of Abyss
It was a perfect day, cobalt sky and azure, glittering sea
when the stygian clouds from the east came
the lord of war had spat phlegm, spraying us with horror
Inside this monstrosity, body parts, the headless were
flying by, the noise was unearthly, and my little dog sought
shelter under my coat I had bought in Hamburg
When the clouds had passed, I saw a landscape
devastated as Ypres in the great war, where millions had died for nothing
My dog was limp and had stopped breathing, I blew her, back to life
and it the...

Claws
Silly girl antics
Don't fool me anymore
I see a claws out social climber
Looking for her next meal
I draw my head back
From the noose just in time
I don't claim to be all that much
But that doesn't mean
I'm not a target to some
Who just want to take what I have
And use it up
Leaving me broken down
Thank God that
This is not my first rodeo honey
I have enough experience to see you
For what you are
I don't care what you want to become
Pull your claws back in
And wave goodbye
Don't fool me anymore
I see a claws out social climber
Looking for her next meal
I draw my head back
From the noose just in time
I don't claim to be all that much
But that doesn't mean

Pull your claws back in

The early-night entertainment that
usually, singers were partly
dedicated to culture
we're told all poets appearing were
know and often read poetry in clubs
(perhaps not in working men's)
the stage was beautifully decorated
with shifting light according to the
drama unfolding
the panel judging their effort were
dressed for the occasion, the public
looked solemn this, was serious
the young men who appeared were
dressed in white suits and white ties
they all had a massive amount of
curly hair....

fear of the outside
fear of the outside
I lifted my glass of red wine towards the lamplight
I didn't see a romantic dream, but a dirty glass
full of fat finger marks and I could not blame the barman
I should have been an actor a friend of mine was
an actor said I had the talent
we were rehearsing a play, but looking at the empty seat
and seeing them full of leering people, I was consumed
with lamplight fear.
My friend loved his craft, but he never made it to the West End
but I saw him play Lesly Howard in a movie made in locally
he was a perfect actor...

Tube Warmer
Neurotransmitted static dreams of micro-existences
Scouring the memory banks as the protein twitches
Meat transformed inaugurated
Scion
Wash it clean then desecrate it
Bygone
Catalytic and biorhythmic
Self sustaining so pathetic
Compulsory actions remotely redesigned
An ape-like slight refracted devoted paradigm
Double helix
Expunge
Imbue

The Stupid Schmucks...
The stupid schmuck philanthropist's
of the blind red states kiss the fist
formed from his gimme, grifting hand,
blind to sleight of hand dammed and scammed
by slick, quick-fired verbal twists...
Hiding agenda's hidden gists;
under feigned patriotic mists,
funding this fat-cat's thieving brand,
the stupid schmucks!
Agog with lies this grifter's dished
awed by grifting propaganda blitz,
steered by cheap glitzy rousing bands ...

Open cast Mining
This earth moving machinery
rattles and clangs through its rude day,
scraping away ancient scenery
and my childhood along the way
exposing coal under the clay.
The drone behind this high pitched whine
indifferent to the changes wrought
worms and casts aside my past times
for preciousness its master sought,
which drifts like smoke away to nought.
This droning drags on through the years
the desolation is complete
and fruitless now the ground sprouts tears
watching the spread of new concrete
to hide the black that...

Peace thief
I've drowned myself in vapid tears
Decaying roots with no room to grow
Corroded with incessant fears
Distinguish between friend and foe
I've seen the armageddon
With raging wars in the fading sunset
While protestors are setting
The tables for the final banquet
The will to rule is fading fast
Like the forces on the front lines
Knowing rules will not last
For those who have an abeld mind
It's a losing situation
No winner will emerge
We've joined together in creation
Of the curse of the purge ...
Decaying roots with no room to grow
Corroded with incessant fears

Knowing rules will not last
For those who have an abeld mind

Asking Jeeves
In nature's toupee sporn of falling leaves
the deli of trees and sleeveless weaves
gathering thieves of old men and hooters
conceived by the winds screaming solo
knuckles and stones rising what lingers
over graves of poets in herringbone
a thundering herd of narcissistic birds
wearing spit-shined shoes and stilettos
in nature's toupee sporn of falling leaves
asking Jeeves for a shoehorn
the deli of trees and sleeveless weaves
gathering thieves of old men and hooters

Shoot Out, At The Not O.K. Coral
I understand
That all the worlds leaders
Want to control
Or kill
Each other
Fine!
Just don't involve
The eight billion citizens
That inhabit this planet
Instead of spending
Billions, upon billions
On weapons of war
And destruction
How about saving
This beautiful planet
Instead of destroying it
Wtf! wtf! wtf!
Wtf! wtf! wtf!
Ad infinitum
How come the whole destiny
Of planet Earth
Is in the hands
Of such a bunch
Of mindless fuckers!
Who seem to have no concept
Of what is...
