Maya's Portraits
Every time I read Maya’s poetry,
I’m in awe of the emotion she conveys,
But every time I see her portraits,
I can’t but help sense her pain.
In each of her pictures she tell a story,
Of trials and tribulations and triumphs,
Because in her smile she conquered it all,
And her works surely made her a giant.
Maya’s portraits always show a resilience,
Her experiences made her even stronger,
In her face there is a soulful grace,
With a gift that brought her honor.

Work the steps
Step one
Never leave the house without
your gun.
Step two
The only person to be trusted
is you.
Step three
Never believe anything you see.
Step four
You’ve already won so never
keep score.
Step five
Kill first, and always be the last
one alive.
Step six
Be a magician and learn
some tricks.
Step seven
Leave mercy to the guy in heaven.
Step eight
Never ever be fucking late.
Step nine
Nothing is worth standing in line.
Step ten
Go back to one and start
over again.
Never leave the house without
your gun.

The only person to be trusted

Conception of Armoured Evil
red starfucked moon
conceived to full
winged abomination
sucking demonised intuit
spraying dichotomous evil
circuiting dark matter
raising the sluts of dawn
equipping planetary armours
grown behemoth
swallowing life of light and fortune
black hole of universal war

More Than a Mouthwash!
No god escapes the well wrought scope of man
Such as the micro, stetho, and peri.
We claim their domain with an increased span
When sensation and equipment marry.
Olympic lightning is tamed with a rod,
Like herds of sheep with the tap of a stick,
And now even the tide comes in a pod!
Poseidon himself never knew such a trick!
Ever and anon men are ascending
Past thunderclap mountains scraping the sky
And though mortality could use some mending
We love to aid our unaided eye!
In like fashion the poor will soon be rich
Since scope...
Such as the micro, stetho, and peri.
We claim their domain with an increased span
When sensation and equipment marry.
Olympic lightning is tamed with a rod,
Like herds of sheep with the tap of a stick,
And now even the tide comes in a pod!
Poseidon himself never knew such a trick!
Ever and anon men are ascending
Past thunderclap mountains scraping the sky
And though mortality could use some mending
We love to aid our unaided eye!
In like fashion the poor will soon be rich
Since scope...

whisper room
in my whisper room,
i talk to God alone;
sometimes i know not what to say,
i bow my head and groan.
being all alone
with One so powerful,
i quake to know an Awesome God
can be so wonderful.
for He speaks to me
of seasons yet to come
when, after all this life is done,
He’ll come and take me Home.
“occupy until
I send the latter rain,
when ripe the harvest, that My barns
may burst forth with new grain!”

Today
Nowadays are blonde,
People take throwbacks as true,
Like the earth being all flat.
The currents are black
Flowing with lost white ice caps
Where Dems fear to tread.
Life at the present time
Can’t decide what the truth is
Without a new mode.
People take throwbacks as true,
Like the earth being all flat.
The currents are black
Flowing with lost white ice caps

empire collapse
empire collapse,
eye contact tear us apart across the street
people dancing and screaming
no amount of letters written in the past upon times of
desperation
can make up for this moment of ravage
biting my soul on fire through the streams of blissful unconscious days behind me and
everyone
alive in this chaos
I never left
never will, deep in dreams I dance upon your pumping blood
the sense of something unsaid
and swimming down the road,
tossing over and over frantic on the foam,
I am free by my limbs possessed in...

God's Strike!
The voice of the Passenger
Has been denied.
What would U like 2 say about "The Strike."
Don't blame it on Labour.
Don't blame it Liberal Democrats.
Don't blame it on Con-ser-va-tons.
Blame it on God,
He's the one in the wrong!
