He Who Has The Gold Makes The Rules

One Week Later
Darla adjusted her posture on the lounge chair. She looked around at the private beach and home she rented for a month. She heard a dog barking in the distance. She sat up and pivoted her head; she shielded her eyes against the blazing sun.
“Do folks know the definition of privacy, ooh.”
A dog ran up to her and wagged its tail.
“Hello there.”
Darla rubbed the back of the dog’s ear.
The dog licked her hand. Someone...

EXACTLY ENOUGH IS ENOUGH

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...

I dream of souls
I try not to oversexualize myself
Even though my body buys men
Currency heaven sent
Permission for a kiss they give me ten
Cheapest attention
Any girl can redemption
Men see my apprehension
Sense my tension
Know I know their intentions
Hope for dissension
But I can't pay contention
Enter a room in where only I
Am in detention
This is the most love guys can
He told me he liked me and I ran
In a muffled room with his pal
Under my shirt put their hand
Just men who adore

No Land Mines
I want to go where the war is over
Where people have gone back to their lives
The ones's fought are remembered by statues
So the same mistake won't be brought back to life.
I want to go where war exists only in museums
People reduced to their names
As if being a victim is an accomplishment.
I want to go where laughter echos louder than bombs
Where children play on safe grounds
Where promises made have seen daylight
Where peace has sinked in through generations.
I hope I get there, I hope we all do
Being born into...

Take it all off... for me.
There is a catwalk in the club.
There is a pole.
And they come here at night
To see the waves of sex,
To enjoy the naked flesh.
A stripper at a pole
Curls, caresses a snake.
As if he were a pole - a male,
Naked in front of him, a female
Dragging him away
From people's vicious glances,
Wriggling to the rhythm,
With her body saying: "I need it!
I want you! Want to!
Well, take me quickly...
Licking the pole with my tongue,
Hips took the rhythm faster...
The eyes of the men...

Today
What I will think tomorrow about yesterday:
I love hearing empires fall...
The sound of their collapses
is so good that it touches the pleasure
of a long-forgotten classic
in the damp mouth of the wind.

Lawfare
Proud man; simple, simple fool...
gave up too soon on the golden rule
and devised himself a devious way
to keep other folks from having a say
at what is fair and what is not
in the grand mosaic of human thought,
and that way devised he labeled as law
which too soon stuck in the collective craw
where all needs and creeds had to be deduced
so tribulations could be reduced
and the mix, betwixt, all land and folks
wouldn't come to be seen as cruel jokes,
in the evolution of politics,
from outrage all the way to fiddlesticks!

Disses of a woke nation
Question, are you woke?
I had to ask because not all of us are equally yoked
So we all want to take back our authority from the winning governments,
After noticing they don’t care for the masses that aren’t wearing a specific garment
“Are you willing to die for me?” the joker asked and it’s a deep question,
Having many different layers that burn the eyes like an onion
A few notes were found on how to oppress the race I represent,
But I know that was intentionally released to aid in the agenda of the liberal percent
We...

Armed To The Teeth
In a world awash with weapons, the fearsome parade,
Armed to the teeth, our society's charade.
With a Glock 17 in hand, some say they're safe,
But in this arsenal, we tread on perilous waif.
The Smith & Wesson M&P Shield gleams in the night,
A shield for some, a menace for others' plight.
The Colt M1911, a relic of the past,
In our modern world, a shadow it casts.
The Remington 870, a shotgun's embrace,
Power in every shell, in the wrong hands, a disgrace.
The AK-47, a symbol of strife,
In conflict and turmoil, it...

inkblots
You can't exist in this world without leaving a piece
of yourself behind.”―Jodi Picoult
the marks i leave
are more than inkblots,
for i believe
they touch the right spots
on every page
that they engage,
in times of peace or days of riots.
i leave a splash
for youth at random,
whose balderdash
may one day blossom
out of the rage
of this dark age,
whose inkblots hold the world to ransom.
i leave an ode
for those who wander ...
of yourself behind.”―Jodi Picoult

Vik~Queens.....(Viking men in delirium)
Behind every powerful King,
stands an ever more powerful Queen
That bond, never to be broken
She is his only path
to his personal destiny
to be forever in united bliss
Yet he takes her for granted
Only selling his seed for those that spread
He will soon learn
His actions are not of those within how you "father"
but within those you teach, as you act
and the mother, The Queen, that is the most important role of them all...
For without her
the children would be run crazy
and the King would...
