Socially engineered injustice worriers
Gov faux grief portrayal
Crisis actors cry about cheque points
Tenderly stoking the bondfire
playing with the good hearted
Like marionettes being pulled towards hate
In the name of love
You get too near a bears cub
And the bear kills you
That's real compassion
Something the emotionally fraught don't understand
Remember it was Hitler who said
I use emotion for the many
Reserving reason for the few
And lo, hysteria is cast like a spell
Over neon screens
Pumped into the living rooms of the historically...

Suffer Not A Witch VII
O! sick-le moon eclipsing sun
Hark! How dark
these invernal days become!
History repeated;
lessons unlearned
How many witches
will you NEVER take
re-spon-si-bil-it-y
for having burned
At the stake
blind eyes turned
by hypocrites
Mass hysteria perpetuated
stoking fears, distracting focus
with smoke and mirrors -
that's the trick
It's
nothing short of
fucking sick
Hark, how dark
these invernal days become
O, sick-le moon
eclipsing
sun ...
Hark! How dark
these invernal days become!
History repeated;
lessons unlearned
How many witches
will you NEVER take
re-spon-si-bil-it-y
for having burned
At the stake
blind eyes turned
by hypocrites
Mass hysteria perpetuated
stoking fears, distracting focus
with smoke and mirrors -
that's the trick
It's
nothing short of
fucking sick
Hark, how dark
these invernal days become
O, sick-le moon
eclipsing
sun ...

Yesterday 00:56am
Apathy asked but little, aquired everything
A mute child
A mother too afraid to talk
A demented father struggling to hold on
A boy with a collapsed family for support
And here I am as confidante
A laughing dead mockingbird
Absolutely flightless
Abusing the breakdown of relations
Astutely mimicking desire
A counselor who listens well
Absorbing all the failings
Attempting little accusations
Analysing admissions
Affectionately attired
As armour for the broken
Acknowledging the denials
Abruptly interrupting
Always taking it in
And eventually ...
A mother too afraid to talk
A demented father struggling to hold on
A boy with a collapsed family for support
And here I am as confidante
A laughing dead mockingbird
Absolutely flightless
Abusing the breakdown of relations
Astutely mimicking desire
A counselor who listens well
Absorbing all the failings
Attempting little accusations
Analysing admissions
Affectionately attired
As armour for the broken
Acknowledging the denials
Abruptly interrupting
Always taking it in
And eventually ...

Lover why do you lie
I want to kiss you
A thousand times
And caress your dark skin
On a moonless night
I hunger for your touch
For I am lovesick
I will pray for your return
To make love again and again
You do not love me
Yet I love you sometimes still
Maybe it is the past
That I am in love with the memory
I have not forgotten the first time
Our lips met so long ago
I loved you instantly
You did not love me
Perhaps we will meet again
Under a star kissed sky
My lovesickness might be...
A thousand times
And caress your dark skin
On a moonless night
I hunger for your touch
For I am lovesick
I will pray for your return
To make love again and again
You do not love me
Yet I love you sometimes still
Maybe it is the past
That I am in love with the memory
I have not forgotten the first time
Our lips met so long ago
I loved you instantly
You did not love me
Perhaps we will meet again
Under a star kissed sky
My lovesickness might be...

My liar
I need you to give yourself to me completely.
Anything less and we will not make it last.
I need you to have only one lover and it can only be me;
If you want me to love you and to give you all I have.
I need you to need me, like I need to want your body.
If you do not feel the same way,
Then there are plenty of other men out there for you;
Leave me to remain a nobody.
But if you think you want me to be your burning desire,
Then tell me
And be with me.
Be the fuel to loves Molotov cocktail
And the ignition...
Anything less and we will not make it last.
I need you to have only one lover and it can only be me;
If you want me to love you and to give you all I have.
I need you to need me, like I need to want your body.
If you do not feel the same way,
Then there are plenty of other men out there for you;
Leave me to remain a nobody.
But if you think you want me to be your burning desire,
Then tell me
And be with me.
Be the fuel to loves Molotov cocktail
And the ignition...

With a stray acquaintance, I call love
Lying perpetually
A way to keep up appearances
This joyous smile
So false it's spiteful
Cursing in silence this mirage
Which I meander as
One of many personas
Perfected, but far from perfect
Honesty is the bogeyman
Under which I should be caught
Could a simple slip of intention
From being alone
In a quiet dark place
With someone no one knew
Be all it took?
Being stranded through opportunity
With a stray acquaintance
Who knew only what she'd been taught
Of me? Not much to share
So easily could it...
A way to keep up appearances
This joyous smile
So false it's spiteful
Cursing in silence this mirage
Which I meander as
One of many personas
Perfected, but far from perfect
Honesty is the bogeyman
Under which I should be caught
Could a simple slip of intention
From being alone
In a quiet dark place
With someone no one knew
Be all it took?
Being stranded through opportunity
With a stray acquaintance
Who knew only what she'd been taught
Of me? Not much to share
So easily could it...

Vote
Politics? I won’t vote for it,
Because everybody is a liar and they only do as they see fit.
Without consequence, they miss-represent.
The truth is just an afterthought.
Forget the house of common sense.
You gave them the power to ruin your life,
By voting for a change of time and closing your eyes
And with fingers crossed, you hope for the best,
But too soon they just forget,
Every promise they made before they took their chance…again.
Now they will do all they can to stay
And stop you ever getting your way.
They take...

The devil's kiss
I think they're trying to kill me...
I think they're trying to re arrange me...
They think I'm delusional... To be interested in the arts... Celebritys...
They I'm confused... To love poetry... To write... To hope into the night.
I think they're trying to kill me...
I think I keep falling for the friend who isn't really a friend...
I think he's the devil...
And I think im trapped for life.
I think they're trying to re arrange me...
They think I'm delusional... To be interested in the arts... Celebritys...
They I'm confused... To love poetry... To write... To hope into the night.
I think they're trying to kill me...
I think I keep falling for the friend who isn't really a friend...
I think he's the devil...

Stupidity Has No Name
When one starves
with intent
Ones
commonsense
logical reasoning
Thoughts
When one
has a list
of other peoples
Excuses
on the reasons why
Open Debate
on things
that effects us all
should not
be allowed
One has become
No matter the cost
No matter the pain
an eager to please
Wannabe great
within the eyes
of those
who create
Mass Graves
with intent
Ones
commonsense
logical reasoning
Thoughts
When one
has a list
of other peoples
Excuses
on the reasons why
Open Debate
on things
that effects us all
should not
be allowed
One has become
No matter the cost
No matter the pain
an eager to please
Wannabe great
within the eyes
of those

Breaking the Rules
I really thought I knew
But I was sadly mistaken
The advantage over me
You had easily taken
The wool had completely
Covered my eyes
As I fell for all your excuses
Promises and lies
You were so dame convincing
Played the part so well
All the while pretending
And I could never even tell
Until the day you faltered
And let your true self out
I finally got a glimpse
Of what you were about
I couldn't really believe it
I didn't want it to be so
But now that you're exposed
I have no...
