An Accidental Asterisk Mark
Sign of the cross
With X overlaid
It redirects thought
Academics look for a footnote
Hoping for something they know
To reinforce their smarts
Memory their house-boys
Servants to an insipid trade
Science over religion
Hydrogen bombs over God
Sodom and Gomorrah
Sydney and the Gold Coast
Whores at the casinos
Losers placing their bets
All you can drink
All you can eat
Glitzy bars and cheap buffets
The morons come in all sizes
No matter the price of their suits

[ Of Power And Rings ] Wizards should know better
but still can't be trusted
with gemstone encrusted
silver or plain, golden rings
for such things are quite often
con'fused with Power

Conjure
theres a way startling sickness
comes upon the body
as bent back books
unexpected broken binding
or eyes too dry
in winded channels
looking over sea
and in the case it sits
beside you when you're blunt
I advise you make a band
around those bones to stop it
bind pale chests as if protected
ban a viral hunt from our stretched
four o clock shadows
wash skeletons clean
so one may be superhuman
superior to while-world weighted well-being
purge our pathetic summons to bed
give simple muscles agenda to flee ...

Global Conspiracy
They watch us on our computers like in the book “1984”
your personal freedom is being invaded like never before
Corporations follow you all over the net
to see what info. on you they can get
The powers that be record your calls out of Langley
lol and this they call the “home of the free”
Privacy is just an illusion-just wait and see
because this is the dawn of the global conspiracy
your personal freedom is being invaded like never before
Corporations follow you all over the net
to see what info. on you they can get
The powers that be record your calls out of Langley
lol and this they call the “home of the free”
Privacy is just an illusion-just wait and see
because this is the dawn of the global conspiracy

Deprogrammed and Reprogrammed
Madison Ave, Langley and the Kremlin
with their slogans brought to you via internet trolls and gremlins
Their goal is to control your focus
with their verbal hocus pocus
I don’t how you feel
but, the “Matrix” is real
We voluntarily log into it everyday
in hopes that it will serve life to us our way
The “System” plays us for a joke
and no evil does not go better with Coke
To free us we disparately need a hero
so everyday I look to the skies for our “NEO
with their slogans brought to you via internet trolls and gremlins
Their goal is to control your focus

Where Violence Runs …
Due To Ignorant Thugs …
Shooting Their Guns … !!!!!

Sabres of light.
Walk the walk up in the sky.
Move with a force from within.
For there is another not yet mentioned.
Look into your heart for you know it to be true.
Trust in your instincts.
Save you they will.
Don't be afraid.
Perhaps you will be.
You will be.
Don't give in to hate.
That leads into darkness.
The ultimate betrayal.
Power comes from the light.
You have been taught well.
Your enemies must surrender or be destroyed.
Now lost in the clouds....
Its a trap!
But you won't be fooled.
Friends may suffer....
Move with a force from within.
For there is another not yet mentioned.
Look into your heart for you know it to be true.
Trust in your instincts.
Save you they will.
Don't be afraid.
Perhaps you will be.
You will be.
Don't give in to hate.
That leads into darkness.
The ultimate betrayal.
Power comes from the light.
You have been taught well.
Your enemies must surrender or be destroyed.
Now lost in the clouds....
Its a trap!
But you won't be fooled.
Friends may suffer....

Stating the Obvious
A wish to stay abreast, hard to decline;
most journalists digest their source, then write,
or recapitulate the party line –
to read the news is like a bath in shite.
Dismissal of a million people’s fate
by sounding off with patronising spin,
the mainstream press outlets reiterate,
repeat, as if the words meant anything.
Behind the soundbite suffering proceeds,
as people lose their anger, don’t stay woke,
the gossip monger on the gossip feeds;
each further story, reinforcing spoke.
Footballers wives, the rich’s homes, TV,
this...

At The Ball
Drowning in conspiracies,
turning it into art
only to be reported as
truth six months
later because the
lie would no longer
be accepted
masked servants carrying your
floor length at the gala as you
espoused socialist
propaganda
they were all laughing at you,
you know?
because they know there is
nothing you can do
about it
and the boot, barring some
minor insurrections, would
rightfully remain where it
belonged

Strip Club
I went to a strip club a few nights past
and watched women dance naked while
men threw money at them.
I danced with women for
money; to look at, to speak to,
to touch.
A ritual of midnight sadness,
of female energy exploited-
By thirsty vampires.
and watched women dance naked while
men threw money at them.
I danced with women for
money; to look at, to speak to,
to touch.
A ritual of midnight sadness,
of female energy exploited-
By thirsty vampires.
