No One is an Island
Some think that poetry and politics
should always shun each other inversely,
and like oil and water, never mix,
since so much now is done so adversely;
it's a red flag when folks don't like the fuss,
and sure, it sucks to battle for your bread,
but when "me first" bitch Trumps the rest of us
then it's time for bards to be widely read
and more comparisons be brought to bear
so justice balances for one and all
in more untampered courtrooms everywhere
to see more high and mighty break and fall,
and then the fuss free chicken...

Bigly Rigged...Periwigs
A coup by court is still a coup
and not what proper shepherds do
in service to the lamb and ewe
or any other working crew
who'd have the Riley life renew
by no high court spoiled review
smelling a lot like number two
and not what we the people knew
to be the best for me and you
and the kids in Kalamazoo
or hookers on Park Avenue
addicted to PlayStation 2
or rural cock-at-doodle-do
needing tissue out in the loo
which may be thought of hitherto
as right-wing justice misconstrue
for an oligarch follow...

Conservatives
Once being cool got yoked to OG
the human race was as fucked as can be;
no ethics, no responsibility,
and only winners allowed to run free.
Finish off the weak, or get them to work.
Be the boss they need to earn their keep
even if you have to be a jerk
or deprive them of nutrition and sleep.
It's what an originalist would do
whenever he wasn't capping an ass
or test driving something shiny and new
that got low miles per gallon of gas.
It's a strong man they say that saves the day
never mind that they're as...

In his Jaws
I am in the Dragons jaws, the depths of hellfire frames. In his Jaws Baphomet honors me with my princely hero names. In his jaws I am gaurded from the abuse of being scapegoated and psychic vampire mind games. In his jaws he holds me up in his pride and never blames. In his jaws I am proud and my love for HIM no one ever shames. In his jaws he holds me as his most favourite son and child. Baphomets presence has always been with me even lost in the wild. In his jaws are the words written of all natural laws.
In his jaws Samael keeps me his baby Dragonboi well gaurded for our cause. ...
In his jaws Samael keeps me his baby Dragonboi well gaurded for our cause. ...

God Mother
if i was a cocktail
i was a little cojito
a platinum blonde
porn star martini
flaming volcano
naked & famous
bull shot boobies
cuban rose pussy
a velvet hammer
tequila slammer
a femme fatale
with vesper legs
& vampiro eyes
death flip thighs
a corpse reviver
dark and stormy
black nail depths
and sazerac sass
four score for sure
a true cosmopolitan
godmother of cocktails

Hollow
You bring me down
you cast me out
I grieve again
but I'll believe again
What you don't know
(fear blinds your soul)
as you watch me go
(your walls so sure)
I'll take my light
(in loveless dark)
I'll leave you hollow
(I wish you grace)
hollow
you cast me out
I grieve again
but I'll believe again
What you don't know
(fear blinds your soul)
as you watch me go
(your walls so sure)
I'll take my light
(in loveless dark)
I'll leave you hollow
(I wish you grace)
hollow

Wrapped in the burden of your attritional gospel
Sometimes I can tarry,
on the work of the progenitor
of American ethos
and accrue the
blotted simulacrum of atman
as the ashen Sleipnir albedos
to evince its candor by dint of
my denude acuity.
Annan does the leviathan swarm
as froufrou mordito’s
wither in a canicule arboretum
sakura cedes their seeded whispers
exhaling their viennas up to me
for their is beauty in the suffering,
an understanding a collateral reflection
all for the hunger of atrophy,
swallowing that bittersweet...

so do they
I see the gold on the common front,
Some foil for the commoners,
Ahead of them I'm heading in.
They bolt, and they weld.
I don't, and they tell,
As they know, I am well.
I know aswell, that they broke,
I can tell, and I do.
And we laugh, so do they.
But we rich, they know they prey.
As we pray, so do they.
Fuck em all, so do they.

And we laugh, so do they.

Mediocre Inc.
At what age did you find that mediocre's fine,
In corporate halls where the average thrives?
Playing the game with a heart that's malign,
Ignoring respect for the human lives.
Do just the minimum, meets expectations align,
Why strive for more when the soul rarely jives?
It's all about survival, your mental health's sign,
I'd rather close myself in my shell than live this hell.
In realms where misery loves company well,
I choose my own path, adventures to tell.
No more the facade, no more the corporate spell,

Spit on mercy seat
Spit covers the street
I try to stay descreet
When people lay next to my feet
Not show my downbeat
Urge to deplete elite
I spit on mercy seat
Covered to decollete
I won't be your forcemeat
Pick bleat over maltreat
Till they drop me to concrete
I try to stay descreet
When people lay next to my feet
Not show my downbeat
Urge to deplete elite
I spit on mercy seat
Covered to decollete
I won't be your forcemeat
Pick bleat over maltreat
Till they drop me to concrete

Pushed Proponents
All the ps, all for me.
All for one, and one for you,
but two times that is time for me.
A second to be wreckless is just right for me.
Told us that but sugar coated.
Hold on twat, so you decode it,
Ill decide if it's tonight when you console with
What if fucking might be, likely pushed proponents.
Shooshed supporters get disposed off.
Your component; told off.
But you told them your whole "all love"
A hole deep enough for their component.
They own you as,
You counsil a users ounce full, they use you...

The Proof is in the Pudding*
US politicians are pitching a new dream they make sound so inviting
but, none of them will to give us a warranty for it in writing
We all want to be happy, safe and free
but, that does not come with a money back guarantee
Can it be returned, if with it we are not completely excited
or if it goes badly are they hoping we will be too tried to fight it
The old folks taught me back in the day
“The proof is in the pudding”, they would say
but, none of them will to give us a warranty for it in writing
We all want to be happy, safe and free
but, that does not come with a money back guarantee
Can it be returned, if with it we are not completely excited
or if it goes badly are they hoping we will be too tried to fight it
The old folks taught me back in the day
