A swans lamentation
I enter
a dream
called
Persia
I ask you
how many memories
does the leaning cypress tree have
Can you tell me in your mosaic
a language as old as the first mud
of the lotus ?
Your
Ceramics wear rose leaf shapes
we walk the tiles and the three silken strings
are woven, when it sings from bowl shaped body
we pick berseem clover flowers
adorn locks of our hair
honor the weeds
within a synched garden
through...

In the countryside
The plains erupt with crying
In the river valley no eye is dry
When the freedom of the west
Finally gives up and dies
Where once there were fields
Now stand tall buildings
And where there were herds of cattle
There is only concrete
In the river valley no eye is dry
When the freedom of the west
Finally gives up and dies
Where once there were fields
Now stand tall buildings
And where there were herds of cattle
There is only concrete

Victims Of Psychopathy
The entire human race has been
the Victims of gross psychopathy
for many centuries...our true history
our true self our true being our
true future all of these have been
grossly misrepresented and stolen
from We the People and this gross
Psychopathy that has been used
to rob We the People of the truth
and to bring us as much pain and
unhappiness as possible is very
real and our worst enemy on Earth

i still
see them
sitting
in mimicked
palaces
like corrupted
temples
boys
who never
dared
to draw a
tear
infront of
elders
girls
who never
tasted
air without
idle
chaperones
bound to
feet
wherever
they
walked
and
the ones
seeking out
a wind
that never
turns
up
see them

PISSED STAINED GRAFFITTI
PISS STAINED GRAFFITI
I didn't do it...,.
I shouldn't have done it....
Why do you think it was me?
Because I confessed?
Hell..........
Everyone knows I'm a liar-----------
---------Because I told them I was
That made up graffiti mark name
isn't even in my spray-painted piss -stained
watermarked handwriting
Anyone could have painted that----
''''' ---------
way up on the overpass for everyone to see
looking down on me way down here
-----no fear, my dear------

an ode to the unseen
their voices
scratched out
in a world
still dominated
by large fists and
old ways,
their eyes
never seeing
past silver gates,
growing up
believing they're
ugly,
their feet
escaping dated
ideologies
and pressures,
sealed away
inside traditions
passed
down to
us;
because
god forbid
being a part
of anything
outside
of it.
you're worth
so much more—
when
you wave
your colours,
ideas...

haiku for February 2021
Haiku
Invisible flowers
Hidden among razed houses
Jordan valley
Haiku
Army vehicles
Inside sat soldiers of doom.
Broken olive trees
Haiku
The heartless triumph
They lose their humanity
Apathy is their price

Greek Warrior Story
One night a great warrior who lived in Coram, Greece, prayed to the god Hephaestus to provide him with a broadsword made of the strongest steel. He sought counsel from the oracle of Delphi, and what she uncovered was a mystery, as usual the spirit was indirect and esoteric, but what was clear, was that a sacrifice must be made in order to initiate the will of the gods
He knew of a noble young lady who recently had a baby and paid her a visit.
He scooped the child up in one arm and took off
A pyre was lit in honor of this sacrifice to Mount Olympus, then he cut the babies...

Statement by Georgian Gorgons
Carl Harris explains how many of his patients describe octopus or jellyfish behavior. It is a reflection of Harris' work that stoned him, not a medicine designed to solve problems quickly. They met at the Young Institute and were married in Madison where Estino the Aurel Gorgon and his three sisters - Medusa, Stano and Oriel (that's Horus, God, and Horcas to you) are children of Anima. Although the Gorgons interpreted the Greek texts differently than we do now, she was said to be his first wife. Traditionally, we always see Medusa's head yet we usually lose sight of the truth of her reality. ...

A Bulgarian Girl's Letter to Black Women
I once have been braided
with colourful threads so Wild.
Strong, assertive, independant, unjaded,
I want to share a Tale of Fright.
When you refer to white people
as the true nightmare that overstepped;
I want to tell you about UnderTransilvania's steep hills
with mountains so pure and swamps, forests ahead...
There was a Great Empire
where the Bogomils were Pure in Faith
and Medieval Kings of Fire
put a banner in a new Land where they Stayed.
Khan Asparuh was of noble origin;
and his Sons spread the Teachings...
with colourful threads so Wild.
Strong, assertive, independant, unjaded,
I want to share a Tale of Fright.

and Medieval Kings of Fire
put a banner in a new Land where they Stayed.
