Where's Daddy?
No lumpenproletariat allowed,
or even old fashioned non-combatants,
to survive the new killing fields plowed
by techno-feudal targeting patents
designed for destruction block by block,
instead of soldiers duel by duel,
until depleting its carpet bomb stock
or the bombers run out of noxious fuel.
Yet still the algorithm looks for him
until the mission is declared complete
when something like a special cryptonym
sends troops to search each mortuary street,
since daddy may have eluded the bomb...

Virtue signalling at its most flamboyantly pathetic and prodigiously, perfidious!
By Stanley Collymore
Just curious to know from all the
self-righteous virtue signalling
idiots and significantly also
the surfeit of unquestionably dim-witted
lowlife Karens and likewise likeminded
Gammons; collectively morons whose
own lives, simply individually and also
collectively, are distinctively rather far
from being exemplary; how obviously
does quite nonsensical but, none the
less, unquestionably and thoroughly
distinctively, irrefutably vociferously,
and vitriolically shouting, is actually
fittingly enough...

Social Anxiety
I wasn’t made for crowds
I realize tonight
I’m in a bar
With open scars
And fear that grips me tight
The lively vibe should ease my mind
Should talk and interact
Instead I’m stuck inside my head
And don’t know how to act
Topics randomly pop up
Each person makes their comment
The urge to speak takes over
Followed by the urge to vomit
I look around the table
And I smile and I nod
I start to feel I don’t fit in
And now the urge to sob
I blink away the tears that come ...

On a Weekday in Winter, Waiting
I am that glimmer on a frigid window
Through which, as the evening creeps, a bloodless sun can be seen
Slumping, as per routine, against an assemblage of begrimed bricks, concrete,
And trees that, despite their barrenness, continue to coyly undress.
Oppositely, too, there is a stale clump of sheets,
Stuck together in certain spots,
Swallowing a pair of sallow arms that pointlessly pillow a wonted vacancy,
Coiling around the legs that spread across the threadbare mattress,
And dangle low, laden with a nebulous and
Perpetually unfulfilled wanting. ...

It Was Only An Eye Exam
I know what happened that day
I remember the events so clearly
Twenty three year old memories do not decay
When they scar you so severely
I went in for a routine eye exam
The optometrist seemed like a nice old man
But sacrificially I was his lamb
As he unleashed his master plan
First he used the ophthalmoscope
2 look deeply in my eyes
But what happened next I have to cope
For the remainder of my life
He then removed the equipment
And approached as close as he could get
Determined by his professional...

Dizzying heights
I had sex with my dad's best friend for the first time.
He approached me and grabbed my cock.
I was totally shocked,so I pulled away.
My dizzying fear,as Imagined my dad,would come back from shopping and catch me and his best friend pounding away.
I was frozen.
He was moaning and groaning.
Calling out my name.
I tried to make him stop.
But his strength was too much.
When he finished he left shortly after.
When i grow up, I want to be an actor.

Navalny On Jeopardy
2/30
“Listen, I’ve got something very obvious to tell you. You’re not allowed to give up.
If they decide to kill me, it means that we are incredibly strong." ~ Navalny
(Quoted by our own Ahavati)
When I think of him, his last day,
I think of him there in the courtroom
behind the shatter-proof glass
grinning at Putin's judge,
joking with Putin's judge ...

A Little Bit Less
A Little Bit Less
I wish I weighed a little bit less
Then maybe I would see
It doesn’t matter what I weigh
It really won’t change me
There’s a notion in my mind
It would cure all of my woes
But you wouldn’t love me less
And you wouldn’t love me more
I wish I was a little less sad
That the tears would one day stop
The depression that takes over me
It controls my mind, my thoughts
I’m done looking for a reason
I just welcome it upon me
I’m used to it, my dark cloud

Perverts, Politicians and Pyromaniacs
Psychopaths and perverts
Linger in the shadows
Of the night stopping only
Long enough to up the ante
In the war against malcontents
And fading politicians who are
Serving up deep-fried linoleum
To the public
When they're not selling
Propane to the pyros
Spurred on by
The cosmic karma backlash
Where the weak are
being spoonfed their
Daily dose of scorn
Somewhere, in the shadows
The perverts easily commiserate
Beating on their pale chests
Shouting "The beasts,
They will not die."

Secrets
We all have our secrets
Regrets? Just a few
This tale’s of the horror
Of what secrets can do
About 30 years ago
It seems like yesterday
I had to keep a secret
Or my family’d go away
I know I was a kid then
I knew that it was wrong
I knew that keeping my mouth shut
Wouldn’t last for very long
Back then I was so naive
I believed so many lies
In time though I forgot
For me better and oh so wise
Their words now they just haunt me
So many lies I had to keep
