North South East West
misgivings on the direction
society is kited
during the wind-up
of their sleeping gaze
alarmed hermit
tosses torn blades
of a spinning rose into
a nor so easy we
maxed tense overshot
the trajectories
of an impact likely to prove
the accusations of history
You are not here to witness
gas following its nature
hot air ballooning past
sense of a backwards future
You told them I am a basket case
but I pilot a rage of wicker
...

Skin Wars
Who told you that the color of a soul was skin-deep?
That it had to lose its pigmentation in order to get a spot where you sleep
Who told you that the beauty of a soul had color in the first place?
What reality are we living in where hatred can just shit in our face?
Who told you that we were allowed to see a soul in this way?
Who told you that this was ok?
That it was ok to write your self-appointed and twisted views into the book of man
That you can control and play God under the one true being who created man
Who told you that it was ok to sleep with...

She Was Teasing My Friend
She was teasing my friend.
He walked over and grabbed her rump.
She kicked his nuts hard.
He walked over and grabbed her rump.
She kicked his nuts hard.

Partial Understanding
Why bother now so close to the end
Why learn anything new
Can it save my life?
Or slow down the inevitable?
There's nothing new that can do any of that
It might help pass the time I suppose
But I'm selfish
I see things in terms of what they might do for me
Not the more global us
It's difficult not to be selfish though
After all
Long before I could understand any new treatise
Or pass on any knowledge gained
I'm going to be dead
So what is the point of partial understanding
Before I go?
Why learn anything new

Not the more global us
It's difficult not to be selfish though
After all
Long before I could understand any new treatise
Or pass on any knowledge gained
I'm going to be dead
So what is the point of partial understanding

what’s the bloody difference ..
everyone has opinions
they couldn’t possibly believe if they
thought about them;
but then, everyone,
everyone, everyone of us is ‘them’,
to somebody else ..

Orange Felon
Orange Felon
As the story goes
It was 4 years ago
An orange felon with a pen
Wiped away all their sins
Cops were beaten down
With flagpoles bear spray and batons
Now those criminals go free
Where is the justice for the we
The police endorsed an orange felon
I don’t hear any outrage from them
I guess it’s ok if your on the orange side
If your not you must abide by the guide
Not even one day in the White House
As Elon gives a Roman salute not once but twice
Proud boys and...

authoritarianism, ad infinitum
nothing to do with us,
although we’ve got
our own
right wing problem
is that so many people seem to
like ‘em

Echoes of Dignity
Be with compassion,
Don’t collude with the unconscious,
To manipulate innocent souls,
To use their bodies for gold.
Your body is precious,
Your house till you no longer breathe,
Beware how you treat it,
Think what’s best for it.
Humans have made you objects,
Objects of gratification,
To spread your bosom and legs,
To deprive your freedom.
Young woman wake up,
From that deep sleep,
Know your power,
You are the pillar of society.
Without you, we would never exist,
We live to serve you, ...
Don’t collude with the unconscious,
To manipulate innocent souls,
To use their bodies for gold.
Your body is precious,
Your house till you no longer breathe,
Beware how you treat it,
Think what’s best for it.

Objects of gratification,
To spread your bosom and legs,
To deprive your freedom.
Young woman wake up,
From that deep sleep,
Know your power,
You are the pillar of society.
Without you, we would never exist,
We live to serve you, ...
