I'll end the war in Ukraine
within the first 24 hours
if elected president
Trump said
Day 21:
Russian troops push
toward Pokrovsk
as we speak
Trump remains silent
far too busy raging war
on our democracy
to maintain control:
commuting his militia
—J6 insurrectionists—
who'll beat police officers
and the national guard,
replacing qualified personnel
with predators and drunks
he deems loyalists,
cancelling health research
education...

decisive split second..

abrupt clucking splits

Glitch
Toep, the drow, with eyes like midnight,
wanders smlaer where swodahs peerc
in his grasp, taolfa a secret tight
guarding mysteries in the ecnelis deeps.
He traverses smaerd, a phantom's guide,
in the labyrinth of the dnim's design,
carrying taolfa, where samgine hide,
in the dnim, where worlds eniwtne.
Whispering through the sliev of thought...
Toep, the keeper of smlaer neesnu.
In his presence, reality is wrought,
a dance of swodahs, where truth has neeb.

Insurrection won
In the peoples house tonight
How do I tell my kids exactly
What we’ve lost
My son is…8 years old
Don’t want him to know…
But he knows
The capital was rushed
In the name of a
False god
A man of lies
And lies and lies again
And lies and lies again
Wraps himself in the flag
But his thugs
Turned that thin blue line
Into a spear
1/6/21
Will live in infamy
Let me say that again
1/6/21

Defected Life
Why doesn't it ever end?
Some people are rich
So many are poor
Some live in peace
Some live within a war
What are the reasons
For all the madness
What are the reasons
For human pain & suffering
Some people are obese
Others are frail
Some die due to starvation
Others eat like whales
Is there a paradise?
Is there another side?
Or is there just a grave?
Where your body will eternally lie?
Ignore the speeches that brainwash you
Reality shows us a world of conflict &...

~defenseless
in the heart of auburn equatorial sun
drumming wild with wet thunderbeats
of shrinking craniums & surfacing
uraniums- with winking tricky glints
of golden diamonds, busy feeding
the bloodied cartels
where also the social bonobos
still thrive in the feminine reigns
enriched by the gushing wide
riverine Congo & the falling high
Zongo in sand~ slurried screens
i stand (fading pale and blinded
as a frailly miniature grouped out ant ...

Privatization & Deregulation Ruined NYC
NYC doesn't have alligators but it does have moats, that at one time protected the downtown subculture.
This kept away the jocks, yuppies, normal people and other intruders.
By the late 1990's, crime subsided and the real estate developers magically made the hood livable.
NYC was losing it's soul.
By the time the new millennium was near, the real estate boom forever transformed the city's styles & attitudes.
The oddities lost their frontier
Some rolled with these changes, others left the city and some reminisced about the "Good old days". ...

Chains of Freedom
Hold up
Don’t talk
Or the grim reaper will steal your voice.
Words turn weapons stripped of choice
Next you're in cuffs
Bound and subdued
Dragged to halls where fairness is skewed.
“Arise my Lord” the bailiff calls
But justice has crumbled within those walls.
Judged for truths you dared to say
Now silenced tossed like waste-away.
In the jungle of law where power preys
Your rights dissolve in a smoky haze.
In the heart of the city beneath neon lights
Lies Mide a dreamer who fought for rights.

Come on Girl
You just live the simple life
well you don't do nothing good
you wonder where the good times are
well there right in front of you
Stop being a grump
or you'll get dumped
come on girl, get in on life
You've been told that there's only one way,
and that's why the rules you follow each day
if you keep on living like that,
you're gonna die like the rest of the pack
Let free, let go,
let everyone know
you're not gonna be another victim of society
You're free from your daddy's hand,

Refuse, Resist
Gov't officials see a bright future ahead
The poor will no longer exist
Drive these people out of their homes
Increase their rent, please try & resist
Isolate them like you once did in Harlem
Ghettos without prison walls
If they revolt, cops smash their heads
Or spray mace into their eyeballs
Breakdown the walls that kept us segregated
No time like the present time
Take out the ruling class
No one in life should get a free pass
The poor will no longer exist
Drive these people out of their homes
Increase their rent, please try & resist
Isolate them like you once did in Harlem
Ghettos without prison walls
If they revolt, cops smash their heads
Or spray mace into their eyeballs
Breakdown the walls that kept us segregated
No time like the present time
Take out the ruling class
No one in life should get a free pass

Fear
You can drive a car if you do it right
but you can't go far if it puts you out of sight
you can't look at girls
you can't drink anything
you got to get your kicks in the shadow of fear
You stay out late when they think your young
when they find out, there gonna want you hung
so you try to understand that you might get near
cause your lost alone in the shadow of fear
So you found a chick that you think is fine
but you fell too fast so you lost your mind
society looks, but they turn their ears
you got to get...
