... a purpose...
It doesn't matter why we're here...
We do not have to have ''a purpose''...
This is what those in control want us to believe...
because, they say...
they... are the ones ''in the know''...
izzat so..?
You think all that convenience...
is only a coincidence?

Cold is the wind in Europe
It is a stormy evening brown leaves flying in the storm, they a
re dank and slimy, torn from the tree with no home to call
their own. I'm thinking of Macron, the president of France
He is extolling globalisation, I'm a nationalist I come from
a country that has naturally evolved has its own culture and
an unspoken agreement on how people should perform.
We don't want a global nation with one culture one language,
one thought as dictated by a newspaper owned by the globalists.

Extermination Time II
Z Brzeinski one of the top level honchos
of our world's Illuminati told an audience [youtube]
of his brethren...for most of history it has
been easier to control a million people
than it was to kill a million people and he
continues and explains how in these days
with the awakening and all it is far easier
to kill a million people than it is to control
a million people...of course an average
human guided by true human emotions
mixed with a Rockafeller education cannot
reason with this sort of logic so they don't
worry about...

Some day
Never thought I'd have to say goodbye,
Now all I do is sit and cry,
No tears of joy just of sadness,
Don't wanna believe you're gone cause it's fucking madness.
I need you now more than ever,
To help through the storms, this crazy weather,
Tryna steer this boat on the right coarse,
I've been screaming your name asking "why" in my mind,
Dont want them to hear me, don't wanna give them a fright.
Now all I have left of you are memories and a ring,
I miss talking to you, how we harmonize when we sing,
I'll be here waiting for the...

Dust
The only people who make love all the time are liars."
It was slaying dragons
Waiting
Because one day
My prince will come
Followed abruptly by
That freshly illustrated
Slick talkin' character
Reminding him
"I can still charm the best of them"
She sits, years later
Older, looked over, just a princess
"I rather go see brave new worlds"
So, to the lover before them, they swipe left
Chasing new tails
Sorry Mr. Disney
That's why I don't trust
Eternal ideal lovers,...

demise of a culture
The demise
Death to the white man it had
not been for him they would have lived
In wigwams or under bushes fought small wars.
“The murder of Khashoggi was a throwback
how the ancient tribes behaved.”
The white man brought civilisation
new innovation, literature and culture.
Now we kill people at a distance don't
see the agony, the blood and cut out pieces of a body.
The white man plundered the world
with the Bible in hand insisted savages
should believe like him and be loyal slaves.
But he never conquered the soul of...

I Lost
I lost someone I truly love all because I decided to fulfill all of my sex desires.
That is what I'll say.
That is what I'll say when they ask me why am I no longer with the man I love.
My wants were stronger than my needs,
And my mind weaker than my heart.
I hurt the one I needed and wanted the most.
I gave up a blissful life time all for 45 lustful minutes.
I lost the man I truly love for degrading myself and becoming submissive to my sexual desires.

war and food
The war and food
During the war years in Norway 1940 to 1945
there was little food, but the coast was teeming
with fish, my brother and I often walked down to the pier
and in a matter of minutes had dinner.
Needs make you into a thief we stole potatoes,
apples and coal for the fire.
We had a variety of fish like boiled, fried or made
into fish-cakes, but in the process I developed a lifelong
dislike of fish, but I do eat fish as long as it doesn't like
aquatic vertebrate.
After the war nicking food was no longer seen as legal ...

Trappings
Walls keeping out that which we do not understand.
Ignorance, hoarding oxygen,
Relegates all else to life support.
Beep. Beep. Beep.

Musing
The bulge in his ego illuminated the parlor... the growl of possession wading along the tiled floors.
The moment shivered and sputtered the words of musing.
He'd live to kill the dance of her eyes.
But a knife to cradle in blood and wasting.
The slow spill of lies.
Snickering supported the mood... the hour...
Last calls are when we take home what sober wouldn't want.
Drink up deary....
Bitches are built to destroy.
The moment shivered and sputtered the words of musing.
He'd live to kill the dance of her eyes.
But a knife to cradle in blood and wasting.
The slow spill of lies.
Snickering supported the mood... the hour...
Last calls are when we take home what sober wouldn't want.
Drink up deary....
Bitches are built to destroy.

Rolf, the talking machine
Rolf, the talking machine
There are moments in life when you meet someone
you take an instant dislike to who endlessly talk about
things they don't know if you tell them something
they don't hear what you say, just waiting for their
a chance to rambles on.
He has the sort of face exuding stupidity and is inviting
you to punch him flat and jump on him.
You know what I mean a person who speaks without
thinking what is coming out of his mouth, unstoppable he his
I think he talks in his sleep.
Tomorrow he will be leaving, and I will not...
