Justice is a nocturnal animal
always watching
unseen, from the shadows
its scales wavering
may take a while
to climb
those karmic steps
but you can be certain
of one thing—
corruption
is on borrowed time
before being dealt
the same fate
that is not demeaning
what we sow we reap
if not in this life
then the next
and those behind the scenes
in...

The Giggle
The Giggle
In the misty, murky mire of a mangled, marshy mud
rose a Moon betwixt the shadows ‘neath a starry night above.
No bird beat wings. No mouse did squeak. Not even an owl’s hoot
could pierce the stillness clinging to the trees and plants and roots.
I stomped upon a cigarette. The embers fumed and fizzled.
As I turned to go back inside, I swore I heard a giggle;
not large but small, not big but tiny, not huge but very wee,
behind the house down by the marsh’s solitary tree.
I stepped on leaves. I sloshed thru...

New Year, Same Sh*t
In 2024, folks still putting foil in the microwave
Smoking cigarettes at the gas station, and I mean right under the pump handle
People holding newborn babies in the air like steak hoagies
Flip a light switch, with water dripping down their fingertips
Dodge heavy traffic for a thrill, cause their life and limbs actually depend on it
Pour hot grease in their trash bins, then wonder why the mutha fucka melted and the rats get in it
I've cleaned toilets for years, and what I've witnessed, is that men piss everywhere except the urinal
Women lay they lady...

For Christ’s Sake
How do we define this?
One man’s law is another man’s virtue
What’s the matter of our preference
What’s a matter of our politics
Where does it collide on the tracks?
Ethics and morality versus the philosophy of our own well being
Our comforts are megaphones for lies when indulgence takes the cake
Are we living for ourselves or does our worship embody our values for Christ’s sake?
Lost for the weight of issues what do I address
When it’s easier to point to someone else than gauge the damages of our own mess
Give me an...

Poison Wells
Fixations to relation
We speak the same language of retaliation
Revolting against the establishment in theory
Without the means to make a change
Uttering clever ways to lodge complaints in unofficial petitions
Incite a riot on the grounds of self righteous seditions
What’s wrong and what is right when it’s all a matter of how you quote the narrative
Half empty gauges of our lack
Conditioned by self robbery
How do we take our perceptions back?
Tell me what to believe
When our goods and evils are relegated to the roles of truth...

THE TRUTH WILL HAVE YOU KILLED
Prior to Covid, I had a mental map of how society worked. Covid destroyed that picture. Covid revealed society as it really is and it’s shocking. Here's what I’ve learned about society for almost 4 years:
1. The ruling class is psychotic.
Bill Gates, Klaus Schwab, Albert Bourla etc. take delight in killing people, cause carnage just to overcome their own hedonistic adaptation, and are completely incapable of empathy or self-awareness. They have tremendous resources to shape society (and the technologies of persuasion have become incredibly powerful). But these people are...

The crown and her puppets
Two sides pulling each other,
I am right, you’re wrong, it’s either us or them,
The third enjoying the thrill of observation,
The diplomats pretending to be neutral.
Truth seems to be blurred,
But every one is right by their own accord,
Tit for tat but the opressor and the oppressed are embodied in one character,
Rationality and logic are intertwined in a web of emotions,
The others think they’re intelligent, the others think we are stupid.
The oppressed and the oppressor has chosen to stay quiet,
We’re feeding them...

Bend towards Justice
So, now that I’m officially running for President in 2024
It’s time I start campaigning seriously
And stop bullshittin’ y’all, cause to my pleasant surprise,
Y'all actually listen to what I’m talkin’ about
I really didn’t think that’ y’all did and I apologize, so let’s start from the beginning
My name is Ashley
Zay, Zaddy, Zim, Zerr are my preferred pronouns
My sun sign is Virgo
In 2023, the disturbing realizations of constant conflict, must be brought to a head as the people need to identify their real enemies, and not their neighbors

Even Reds Get Moon-eyed On Saturday Night
Now, you have me at the video store. And I was promised the first pick of the movie. I have a yen for something with a socio-political subtext. Here, is one, ‘The Trial’ an Orson Welles movie based on the Kafka novel. That is my choice.”
“How Kafkaesque, but watching a guy accused of a nameless crime sounds kind of dreary.”
“No not at all! You just have to get in the right mindset. Paranoia can be healthy in small doses like salt on French fries.”
“Then what about ‘Rebel Without A Cause?’”
“My urban rebellion has a cause. But...

Some people feel that the countries with nuclear weapons will not use them in wars.
Do you think they have been developing these dangerous things with no evil intentions?
Mankind is stupid enough to build and stockpile weapons of mass destruction,
So of course, the leaders are damn stupid enough to use them to kill off one another.
The warmongers cannot avoid a nuclear war; it is only a matter of time before it happens.
Furthermore, countries such as Israel, Russia, and the US are provoking world war.
No sensible person should be happy with the...

Born Free
All hail the born-free generation!
How blessed are we, that we were born free?
Our bodies are free but not our minds,
Our labor is free but not our thoughts,
Our tongues are free but not our lives,
Our legs they open them for free but not our hearts,
Our Oxygen is free but not our health,
Our stress is free but not our smiles,
Our votes are free but not our rights,
Our poverty is free but not our dreams,
Our scars are free but not our healing,
Our struggles are free but not our peace,
Our freedom is free but only in the minds...
