There Will Be Blood - A tribute to the 4th of October
too late for even tossing a coin
tacking a chance rolling the dice
several warnings had been given
but not inwardly fuckin digested
you witnessed the European downfall
and the destruction of Great Britain
Your turn was bound to come up
sooner or later; luck will not be involved
Pleading ignorance will not save you
pledging allegiance will not save you
Previous loyalties will be ignored
previous support promises will be broken
everyone becomes a target for someone
the fascists on the left or on the right
will go to war...

Man, Religion, And War
Man, religion, and war has been thriving concept of surviving between nations. It is the last option to consider or declare from the result of failed political negotiations.
This demoralizing way of life has been the demise of kingdoms, going back as far as B.C, A.D, and its prominence when bringing down the enemy gives balance of power to democracies here today.

Our Boys
The double-pump
Then the third shot
Watermelon practice
Obliterated, of course
The stump remains
Hard & fast
Hard & crazy
Many happy returns
Our boys on our shoulders
And us on theirs
Then the third shot
Watermelon practice
Obliterated, of course
The stump remains
Hard & fast
Hard & crazy
Many happy returns
Our boys on our shoulders
And us on theirs

Murderer
Woah, woah, woah, were in the army
Apocalypse now.
Gather your guns; were going on the hunt.
Gonna kill anybody just for the fun.
Fighting for peace is an oxymoron.
Another disease inflicted on civilians.
A soldier can never be seen as solid.
They sway too much from the normality to id.
They use their guns; they use their guns.
Life as a civilian is soon undone.
War for the masses broadcasting live!
Death by the millions, so Im dead inside,
To all the Heroes who fought in the war.
Heroes kill heroes...
Gather your guns; were going on the hunt.
Gonna kill anybody just for the fun.
Fighting for peace is an oxymoron.
Another disease inflicted on civilians.
A soldier can never be seen as solid.
They sway too much from the normality to id.
They use their guns; they use their guns.
Life as a civilian is soon undone.
War for the masses broadcasting live!
Death by the millions, so Im dead inside,
To all the Heroes who fought in the war.
Heroes kill heroes...

2020 Election Death'o'Democrazy NightMare Dream
Grief synonymous wit transfiguration
that comes a'guised in death.
Yet all is calm, quiet in the factor'ies.
Meltdown from a shutdown or "is it" t'other way'round ?
Money or people? wit corrupt economy'kapital,
goose layin' (olden) egg, as the Gold Standard is way passe.
Gotta run it all on toiletpaper-strength imaginary credit, so's
the wealth (wealthy) will never be compromised.
But the real people? The better to fuck them wit....dopey dupes dey be. ...

The world of humanity
Is a tired, old hospice
Of the mind,
A deathly prison
We in the main
Sleepwalking the
Death march
Quickening our
Journey to the grave
When you read this message
You may think 'This is not for you'
Very much on the contrary
This is exactly what
You need to hear
It is time
Those claiming power
And wisdom, are truly,
Powerless over us
Their wisdom is
Idiotic mesmerism
Those who ascribe
Weakness to themselves
Are in the deepest ...

Aftermath
Away with us.
Let all our dark prowed ships
now beached upon the edge of toppled Troy
sail outward, hurried on the sea
like swooping terns,
into the salty realm
of combers with their silvered crests
and depths of lucid blue,
where cloud and storm and death within
the homeward run will test
our iron resolve,
and show us all again as truly
Agamemnons men.
Come, rise, fill up your oar-lined hulls
each with our own hard-won Cassandras, yes,
and all of Priams gold,
and sing, hymn long, hymn loud
to Zeus...

Mother Earth Cries For Turkey
Dünya sana sesleniyor
bitmeyen bir şarkı
sessizlik geçişinizi teklif etmek
zafere
Anavatan yatağında
o mücadele ediyor
Barış için ağlıyor
vatan onun özgürlüğünü savunur
ve onun insanları
Atalarının senden önceki yürüyüşlerinin gücü
Yiğitlik kılıcınızı zafer kalkanınızı ve hakikat zırhınızı kaldırırken herkese ilan edin
Hayatlarını kar için takas etmeye...

Tate, the sniper
..
An interval without history
A territory of the Internet
She uses the codename *Tate*
The sunset is dying
I stop time ...
Before the night comes
Her lips tell me...
"Kiss Me, young man...
... and I'll kiss you with one eye..."
Then she adds,,,
"I take it and dance with it
Protect me when hostilities break out.
I am a sniper ..."
... ...

Q who? Q'anon - f**k'Q'you.
(a rather under-done, seditious, anti-patriotic, spontaneous rant upon the country i was born &live in, & the days of childhood being immersed in indoctrination that God Blesses America )

the Democrats
are Satan worshipers.
the Democrats are too
busy buggering children.
the Democrats are liberal,
ultra, super.hyper, lefter
than left-'wing, radicals!
the Democrats are
Eating Babies !

Take This Crusade and Shove it - Pandemic of Holy Wars
If religion taught us
anything
It grows with us
over time
Some cults are old
while some are new
Politics is like
religion, too
Yet the burden
of the people
has been to
keep ones own
mad crusaders
held in check
yet the fever rages
a flood of mini wars
most of us
dont want
I mean..
come on
woke sleepers
...what the heck!?
