Lets pause the news and talk about the good shit for a moment.
because stepping out
of the shower with a
warm towel is good
receiving fresh bread
soft and warm out
of the oven is good,
those early morning
walks watching the
sun slowly rise up to
another day is good
and arriving home in
time for your favourite
TV show after a day
of hard grind is good,
a stranger helping you
pick up your belongings
off the floor is good
and can I get a hell yeah
for that pay day showing ...

Fear holds in the rest
Humans shuffling past me like corpses to stupid to die
Their clothes hold their guts in
Fear holds in the rest
Running like rats
Scurrying through waste paper and filth to their holes before the sun goes down
They have umbilical cords of sewage wrapped around their throats
Choking on life, nursing their wounds
They'll tell you that they're loving every second of it
Just like prisoners come to love their captors
Just like roaches in a roach motel
Tasting the poison, telling you it's wine
Their clothes hold their guts in
Fear holds in the rest
Running like rats
Scurrying through waste paper and filth to their holes before the sun goes down
They have umbilical cords of sewage wrapped around their throats
Choking on life, nursing their wounds
They'll tell you that they're loving every second of it
Just like prisoners come to love their captors
Just like roaches in a roach motel
Tasting the poison, telling you it's wine

Circus
You may be wondering why Pittinix has been silent about the result of the recent US presidential election.
The people of America desperately needed Trump because the American political system is a circus.
Circus acts usually bring fun and laughter, but a circus without a clown would be incomplete.
Perhaps most people would agree with the poet’s view that Trump is the best clown in the world.
Anyway, let us be serious about this matter, for it will have a negative effect on millions of people.
If Trump was the best person the American people could...

All Girls
Little girls,
just want your attention.
Young girls,
just want your money.
Older girls,
just want your time.
All girls,
just want something...from you!
just want your attention.
Young girls,

Older girls,

A Faustian Dream
Behold the loutish MAGA derision
as specimens of imbecility
marked by a semantic imprecision
yoked to emotive volatility
and a co-occuring need for action
in the to and fro of their Adderall
foundering for instant satisfaction
in conservative seas of folderol
said to be legitimate worldview
by people enslaved to a joystick
and techno feudal endorphins askew
reinforced at every media click
to warrant their manipulated thoughts
to goose-step quickly into MAGA bots.

Double Down Syndrome
A sure signal of immorality
is an overall desire to win;
and so it does, like Yang divorced from Yin;
a recipe for hollow victory.
A process for power, for power's sake,
and power without purpose is a waste
all the more so if it is done in haste
or when done to make some creation break
as in the assumption that might makes right
or in wagering as a form of proof
assuaging egos otherwise aloof
and only entertained by a big fight.
These are the signs of disordered souls...

The tide has change
Now here we are in a new light of what is truth, before our eyes 👁️ that can move us, towards a different kind of pressure release of the negative, effects that had us imprisoned in mind and heart and spiritual soul. As it affected us in ways that not even words can explain, yet here we are still alive and blessed, to be able to share our joy and happiness and strength together as one nation under GOD ALMIGHTY. 😇 For sure he saw the chaos and drama and confusion, and madness that we had to face of the senseless. Killings and Murders that seems to have no regrets...

The Undead Denizens
With a social poison now in the mind
and coursing through the body politic
of each trash talking smash mouth Tom and Dick...
can our ecology be far behind?
And half the planet is already dead
but if it doesn't fuck with a commute
then the pollution must not be acute...
at least enough for folks to use their head.
Thusly people have never been sheeple
but more like zombies in search of more brains
that are only used for pleasure and pains
anesthetized by the nearest steeple...
long now in the shade of national...

From before to the now
From the deepness of the truth, that it shall reveal the real makings of a new, frontier of hope and dreams and endless possibilities. 🙏 For sure we can slowly see a new horizon, that once was hidden behind the darkness of thick clouds. Changing as it has done more harm than good, yet it is soon coming over the world. 🌍 YET it's for the betterment of mankind and humanity, for gone is the unnecessary feelings of hatred and discrimination of negativity, bought on by the devil's 👿 in human skin. For sure we stand here as one nation under GOD. 🙏 ALMIGHTY and the...

The wrath of good
I needed to gain experience
before I could act like I knew anything,
so, now, be on the lookout
for the wrath of good.

Thee Underclass
It was thee 18th century, and I was just a mere vagabondus.
I couldn't hold down a job, I think one week was my longest!
With a peaky blinders cap and my waistcoat on tight,
I would wander thee streets at night, drunk, and get into fights.
It was thee old days of Landan, full of buskers and harlots.
Staggering past thee beggers, on thee way to thee market.
I met a Dorris called Charlotte, going past on her horse and cart,
She offered me a lift and asked where I'd like to depart?!
She was talking all jargon about nobility,...
