The Dark Moon
The moon has a dark side
…a harem of stars
to fuck every night;
surrounded by his concubines
he sucks up their light,
and glows with an
aura so saintly and white
thus, a naïve is fooled
with his deceptive sight
a vampire in disguise-
the moon has a dark side
…a harem of stars
to fuck every night;
surrounded by his concubines
he sucks up their light,
and glows with an
aura so saintly and white
thus, a naïve is fooled
with his deceptive sight
a vampire in disguise-
the moon has a dark side

Somewhere, SomeTime
I always find my alter ego, whenever i roam the rocky hills, or skipping right out from home, into
the pine forest on the village fringe, where the pure breeze inspires the pastoral themes..
where life in its prime tells the truth, the wisdom and the sincere feeling.There ! is my Home !
i sat on the hilltop watching the tiny village stretching below,"my bled" lost in a foggy silent indolence,
where carelessness and dark interests breed inside empty coffee shops, and shady nooks; and dark corners....
where kids in their blooming age reap what the bad...
the pine forest on the village fringe, where the pure breeze inspires the pastoral themes..
where life in its prime tells the truth, the wisdom and the sincere feeling.There ! is my Home !
i sat on the hilltop watching the tiny village stretching below,"my bled" lost in a foggy silent indolence,
where carelessness and dark interests breed inside empty coffee shops, and shady nooks; and dark corners....
where kids in their blooming age reap what the bad...

Deadline
I'm looking around.
Trying to leave this town.
This place isn't safe.
He should take my place.
He keeps checking his watch.
Got left behind
for a deadline.
Why am I left here?
This wasn't the deal.
Won't wait for me.
Won't wait for you.
I don't know what to do.
I can't get through.
This is a mess.
You tore up the test
and threw it in my face.
This place isn't safe.
At the dead line.
That's where I'll be
waiting at the dead line.
Won't wait for me.
Won't wait for you.
Keep checking...

To see love win
I cannot change the system from within,
so why stay here, stuck in the status quo?
I know I might not live to see love win.
When frightened minds see human love as sin
and power players change rules as they go,
it’s risky changing systems from within.
I feel the judgement even from my kin,
who say that change is moving far too slow
and don’t have time to wait to see love win.
But change by force will only change the spin,
as new oppressors rise up from below.
To end the cycle, hearts must change within.
...

Truth Serum
How real can you be with a person
bullshit aside
Put my thoughts in your head
like fuck all pride
Really real talking facts
not censored caring of perception
Offensive speaking truth
with no redacted reflection
The world’s full of dumb fucks
in howling applaud like trained seals
Passionate mesmerized in stupidity
overzealous who can’t keep it real
Let alone common sense or opinion
to decipher deceptive holes in life
As if trapdoors in a world of unknowns
is labeled in black and white
Clenched I look out at crowds...

Daily Black and White
The man opened the newspaper
To see how the world had changed
Since yesterday's newspaper
The paper wrapped round his face
Filled his ears
Covered his eyes
Silenced his mouth
Read his mind
Suffocated him until
He forgot his name
He turned black and white
To see how the world had changed
Since yesterday's newspaper
The paper wrapped round his face
Filled his ears
Covered his eyes
Silenced his mouth
Read his mind
Suffocated him until
He forgot his name
He turned black and white

Politics
A canvasser for Labour came today
and asked if I’d like to raise any
local issues. I took his pamphlet,
told him no, and he asked whom I’d
be voting for. Probably not Labour,
I said. He thanked me and walked away.
That’s the problem with the left,
I thought as a leftist myself. It doesn’t
care why anymore, and it’s not even left,
just in the middle as Rome burns,
turning up its nose at voters they’d have
to convince. At least if they’re poor.
But maybe it was just that it was 03:00PM,
and my pyjama...

Citizens of the Pipeline Empire
Diddy going to jail is like rewarding him for his alleged crime
It’s just giving him unlimited access to confined behind,
“Now instead of licking pink waterfalls
He will be licking dick and balls,
“Now he is running hard like a mangy dog in a shelter’s backyard
Thinking he’s free until that choking chain cut off his bark,
“That is how many of us live our everyday life
Dining on danger and dancing on the edge of the nuclear knife,
“Being only one terrorist act away from the eternal black
Now you slave...

This is what it takes to be free II
Turn a blind eye,
Turn your left cheek
They'd love you for that.
Split your legs,
It's all a game
For monetary gain,
Make a lot of children
They'd pay you for that.
They pollute the streets with drugs
That they give you money to buy
Buy calling it social relief grants.
Politicians are gods
And they you make look up to one.
Give your limb
Give your life
It's their war they taught you to fight.
Stay polarized,
Never be part of the marginalized,
Toe the line, ...

Join me for a drink
Let’s all raise a glass
to the end
of
Democracy
in
America
Cheers
to the end of
responsible,
competent
leadership
May you rest in peace.
We wish you well,
Our good friend
Ironically
It ended democratically
By the choice of the people
Salute
to
democracy
It was fun while it lasted.
A choice was presented
authoritarianism
willingness to suspend
the constitution
to maintain power
willingness to use ...

Island retreat
One day the 1%
will take a private yacht
out of America
and then bomb the fuck
out of Americans
until everyone
is dead…
