Babel
Age of inhuman, Babel confusion.
Raven recruitment, fabled from cupid.
Playing the nooses, mage's amusement.
Greater when moonlit, Satan seduces.
Graven congruence, gauging occlusion.
Ancient entombment, placing seclusion.
Tainted attunement, splaying disunion.
Latent solutions, fateful intrusion.
Anger abuses, angel induces.
Savored collusion, laymen preclusion.
Manger disproving, strangers disputed.
Reigning this movement, payment exclusive.
Graceless and gruesome,...

Night & Day
Blank canvas darkness
That night inspiration
Nocturnal aesthetic offers
Glowing in moonscape transpose
A moment here disposed
Fallen shadow contrast
Light shed gravity
Anticipated still
Silent reflection
Through fading position
Dimensional ether
Like diametric angles
Stars in the sky
Symmetry supposed
The pale white dance
Whence dawn returns
Over time's horizon
With wondrous synergy
Observant equilibrium
Attempting balance
Vibrance opens
Radiant...

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

Deathly Idolatry
Elemental forces
Visual imagination
Enquired emotional
Factored destiny
The positions of stars
Planetary purpose
Mindful realm
Like analysis
Unto being
Perhaps from our universe
Metaphors mistaken
Similes describe
Vast wonder
Relative disposition
Skies past, present, future
Literal interpretation
Spatial physics
Unboxed magic
Choosing chances
From out of Pandora
Heartache splays
Evolutional branches
Witchcraft concedes
Fateful morality
A Big Bang...

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...

Our Doyley Freud (Oi, Oi, Oi Redone)
Our Doyley Freud was voyeur coin.
This royal Noid embroidered groin.
Enjoying foil destroys with cloy.
The hoisted loins are poisoned poise.
Flamboyance ploys as voices roil.
Employing noise devoid of choice.
Some 'roids had boys exploiting points.
Recoiling droids conjoin if toil.
Deployment Troy ahoy will oink.
To loiter goyle annoyance doinks.
Appointing Lloyd lest Poy for choy.
From moistened soil is Soylent soy.
A Neumann boils in toying Hoyle.
Avoidance coy when ointment spoils.

Appointing Lloyd lest Poy for choy.
From moistened soil is Soylent soy.
A Neumann boils in toying Hoyle.
Avoidance coy when ointment spoils.

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.

Humanity....
Humanity: ones' "important" untill they're not; ones' not "important" untill they are.... if ones' ever acknowledged as "important"....sharing or opposing "beliefs"; one could only wonder why an extinction level event hasn't yet taken place to end all suffering once and for all; a species whom co-exists for the sake of the machine.

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...
