Not even second class

A fucking white male

So privileged

Far right misogynistic


Extreme family man

Nazi ad infinitum expelleleosism



The solution to this white stain?

Replacement

Or total annihilation?

Sparkling success in supremacy

System of silence
Support the suppression within
Echoes of their cries.

#Haiku made for you.

Friends

Pain creates anger
Anger triggers oppressed thoughts
Lend someone a hand

motives matter

it seems to me
the only reason to ban history
is an intent
to re-inhabit it
bury the truth
making it more unrecognizable
when what was
& should never have been
becomes reality
again

The Hurting Kind

I wish I didn’t have to hurt you

To escape the way you hurt me


But the world will keep spinning

I wish you all the best

Particles of Colony

Rusted iron bands.
China teapot atomised.
Shackled electrons.

Shake the Vows

A needle pricked seamstress, bored
Stitching buttons on ventriloquist dolls,
Sewed wedding rings to tambourines.
And played a song of freedom
For oppressed housewives, and
Children of the walking dead.

the game

Turin's horse
Nietzche’s mind

empathy enlarged
beasts powerful

january morning
eighteen eightynine

the genesis
both flogged

the prognosis
paralytic dementia

circa today
place now

same thing
we know

the mind
breaks first

Kabul

Kabul's airport by Kabul town
Drive the highway and draw the sword
Kabul's airport teaming and there's half a million screaming
Drive 'o Kabul highway in the dark"

-- apologies to Rudyard Kipling

Happiness

Happiness too
a human being
who is living
in this world
and what is
on the agenda
of the elite
may not be
the same kind
of happy business

Hoping

I can't stop
Hoping
all is not Lost
this world is
simply so
Beautiful
I could never
give up all
