dogwhistle
across the desolate green fields and valleys of Europe
we heard the sound
far louder than a tinnitus
ringing like an air raid siren
like the sound of a police car
an ambulance stuck in traffic
code red on the psych ward
it echoed back to Africa and split the ear bone that fuses underwater
but we are not domestic dogs.
we have the same canines as you
we can and will bite back
and as...

BLM (Woking title)
I sit at the edge of the world.
Once regrettably unwilling.
Now painfully conscious.
Feet dangling over the abyss
In an attempt to address the
Irreconcilable.
All around the earth melts
And weeps.
Like flesh slowly dripping off bone.
Sloppily congealed. Over-saturated.
Once tightly bound in white satin,
Now destined to unravel.
In my fragile self-embrace
Our society is mirrored.
I am but a shadow on a distant
Landscape, barely visible in the
Infinite horizon of space, wondering
Which way to float. ...

No Revolution
By candlelight in
An underground room, wine is
Drunk in good company,
With high spirits
And no worries.
– if you are here
For a revolution
Look elsewhere.
For Revolutions are not
Made in secret.
They are not whispered,
But rather shouted,
In the streets,
On rooftops.
Revolutions are meant
To scare.
Not children
Into crying to sleep.
But the morally guilty
Into Trembling
With fear.
Revolutions
Are meant to inspire
The Day worker,
The mother,
The artist. ...

goodbye to a world
crumbling to dust,
this corrupt system is nothing to us.
Waiting for freedom,
Waiting for time,
Kicking the bucket,
they still keep lying.
"we care for you all" they say with a twist,
we know they are faking,
shaking their fists.
Authority is nothing,
we live under "justice"
as the world falls over,
to a corrupt system of bliss.
We pretend to agree,
so we dont get killed.
we fight for our rights,
which fills us with thrills.
As the system falls down.
we own the town
...

i had an unfortunate relationship with a boy who hung nazi flags in his room (and i tried to love him)
he got away with it
because he was brown
and it threw us off;
(or everyone in the scene
was just blind and blasé
to all type of fuckery)
an orphan of occupation
(his mother gave him up)
a lovesick puppy
he liked to set fires
wore skinhead fashions
green laces
in his doc martens
(i bought him those)
an adhd attention fiend
with antisocial personality
(and asperger's)
he pestered his way
out of...

Children Of The Corn
It's said that joy comes in the morning and freaks come out at night
Based off the sight of carnage, we might not ever see the light
Seems like, all we do is fight, plunder and pillage
Enriching Mother Nature's soil with our blood spillage
It takes a village and kinship runs deeper than the skin
Made in GOD's image with many heritages mixed in
Some with an abundance of melanin; some devoid of it
Yet, we're all enthralled by halls of racist's excrement
No pulpit nor amendment has eradicated this beast

Mercenary
How can you tell if you’re only
being honest on someone
else’s behalf?
as middle-aged as I am, I
should know this, no?
and as a minority, I welcome
this new age of
Wokeism
I can just say, hey, I
was brainwashed by
evil white devils,
when the liars
come and try
to take
everything away
from me
while all you good
white folks burn
to a cinder
the only thing I was
fighting for was my
own life
and all the truth bombs

Winning Elections 101.1
He promised to build a wall
filtering out the average Illegal Alien
insisted Mexico would be the nation
financing construction to completion;
this excited every White American
rejoicing in not living in
close proximity with more
Brown People than necessary
Flocking to their new Shepherd---
Racist Sheeple, Sheeple, Sheeple
Having lived through it all
I can tell you it was scary
filtering out the average Illegal Alien
insisted Mexico would be the nation
financing construction to completion;
this excited every White American
rejoicing in not living in
close proximity with more
Brown People than necessary
Flocking to their new Shepherd---
Racist Sheeple, Sheeple, Sheeple
Having lived through it all
I can tell you it was scary
