incredible rain: a pentaprismic suite
of floods and famines, flaws and fools
4. flaws
indelible stain
marks well the parchment of the careless ink
that scribbles disdain
to push humility out on the brink
high horses will trip
when challenged by a slippery-slopey path
saved not by the whip
of him who navigates with fuming wrath

Acceptance Of Denial
Taking it all in as if truth were subjective.
Truth is what you tell yourself it was, is or will be.
How do you flush out a sensation that you borrowed from someone you admire?
Authority was put into place to control the ability of the species.
Does ownership of a curtain belong to your will or that of Martha Stewart?
To question our society is to ensure a good night sleep at the local insane asylum.
I refuse to confide in a pill that has no opinion of a condition I never believed in.
Politics is nothing more than unorganized religion designed to fulfill my...

Flashback Forward
Tired eyes within an expression of lies.
Modesty sold to both youth and old.
Peering out of an unseen future.
Days spent in a sweatshop to pay rent on a house occupied by a phantom with no name.
Dreams of a surf bound to a contract with no expiration date.
My reward for a job well done being an expedited pink slip that guarantees overtime.
I was lied to by those closest to me.
College was a scam designed to empower the corrupt to a tenure unforseen.
I'll see your poverty and raise you a heart attack.
Modesty sold to both youth and old.
Peering out of an unseen future.
Days spent in a sweatshop to pay rent on a house occupied by a phantom with no name.
Dreams of a surf bound to a contract with no expiration date.
My reward for a job well done being an expedited pink slip that guarantees overtime.
I was lied to by those closest to me.
College was a scam designed to empower the corrupt to a tenure unforseen.
I'll see your poverty and raise you a heart attack.

Unchained Echoes: The Quest for Freedom in the Digital Domain
In the realm of boundless bytes, we dare to share,
Expressions of our souls, our stories laid bare.
Yet shackles of censorship tighten their grip,
On the canvas of freedom, cracks start to rip.
Through the channels of pixels, ideas take flight,
But censorship's whispers cast shadows in the light.
A tug-of-war ensues, a battle unseen,
As digital overlords decide what can be.
Facebook, you mirror our dreams and desires,
Yet wield the power to stifle the fires.
Voices silenced, content erased,
In the name of protection, what's the true test?...
Expressions of our souls, our stories laid bare.
Yet shackles of censorship tighten their grip,
On the canvas of freedom, cracks start to rip.
Through the channels of pixels, ideas take flight,
But censorship's whispers cast shadows in the light.
A tug-of-war ensues, a battle unseen,
As digital overlords decide what can be.
Facebook, you mirror our dreams and desires,
Yet wield the power to stifle the fires.
Voices silenced, content erased,
In the name of protection, what's the true test?...

Rusted iron bands.
China teapot atomised.
Shackled electrons.

Lyric 1
We’re living on 2 pennies, while collecting
as many memories as we can retain.
We are just the same.
While I’m struggling to make ends meet,
you slag me off to your friends, yet
we are just the same.
Why are you acting so lame?
Is it because you are afraid I could put you
to shame, I only need 60 seconds,
its 1 name.
You can run your mouth, saying I always
put you down to your friends and family.
Yes, we are just the same.
But we aren’t playing the same game.
I make my own rules,
you follow others’...
as many memories as we can retain.
We are just the same.
While I’m struggling to make ends meet,
you slag me off to your friends, yet
we are just the same.
Why are you acting so lame?
Is it because you are afraid I could put you
to shame, I only need 60 seconds,
its 1 name.
You can run your mouth, saying I always
put you down to your friends and family.
Yes, we are just the same.
But we aren’t playing the same game.
I make my own rules,
you follow others’...

A Strangled Shout
She's dying on her feet, he holds her up,
the derby carries on, regardless of their slip
to horses pulped for glue. The derby cup
observes the treads across the boards of chip
and blood. How much longer they last is down
to whether need can triumph over bone,
the once gay heels now slick with red, the gown
of blinking sequins drenched to limpid stones.
His own black shirt mere threads below
the torture of the heating lights, about
a dancefloor ringed with glee, a blow
to common decency, the dancers just a strangled shout.

rondo
it is better that any
society fearing spirited
debate and asking serious
questions without being
shouted down or
canceled
should return to the
darkness of the cave
and solve their differences
with pointy sticks, stones and
clubs
history...
the ever expanding
circle of diminishing
returns

unfortunate
my name’s smith, he said,
which they assumed was
an alias, but which
unfortunately wasn’t, since
they hanged him, thinking
he was somebody else
entirely, and thus he
ended up entirely dead

All For One And One For All
Every bully is a bootlicking simp
Who thinks he too may someday be the boss
Where royal habits will never leave him limp
Or in a mood...insufficiently cross.
Alphas, you see, must never seem too weak;
Fear based respect is so hard to sustain
And thicker necks won't let them turn their cheek
To let fresh blood up inside of their lame brain...
Where they escalate, or maybe double down,
Which so often is really just the same
As admitting an envy of the crown
That guarantees a winning of the game,
Until all the meek sharpen...
Who thinks he too may someday be the boss
Where royal habits will never leave him limp
Or in a mood...insufficiently cross.
Alphas, you see, must never seem too weak;
Fear based respect is so hard to sustain
And thicker necks won't let them turn their cheek
To let fresh blood up inside of their lame brain...
Where they escalate, or maybe double down,
Which so often is really just the same
As admitting an envy of the crown
That guarantees a winning of the game,
Until all the meek sharpen...

Here is the real deal
in American the struggle for Black folks is real
I am in jail, prison or house arrest
bc my psychology freedom is limited at best
The truth of this on MSM is selective
I am a POW in the class war against my collective
With this poem I am symbolically taking a knee
bc my people are not free on this day-4th of July 2023
