Kiev Sneakers
These sneakers are like a time machine
lost in a Kiev alley...
They keep the memories of those who used them
and the stories that were never written.
They witnessed the glory and the pain
of a city that has transformed.
They saw the revolution and the war
and the dream that shattered.
Sneakers that were worn on a boy's feet
who ran through the streets without fear.
They jumped over the walls and the roofs
and explored every corner and secret.
They followed the steps of a young girl
who fought for freedom and peace. ...

Dracula
Dracula had a black Mastiff
With white shoes
Like my own Mastiff
Dracula found his puppy
Degutted across from his house
Dracula was so angry
He saw Bonny , the Mastiff
Mine
And adopted him for a while
Dracula dogs death was in
Carnal state so we need to pray for restoration
Bonny RIP 15/2/24
We love you like our son
And welcome you celestial
You can stay home if you want
Our walkies was so special
I cried all day and walked alone
I will always love you!
Forever..

Nineteen Forty Four
On the seventh Day of October
in the year Nineteen Forty Four
a boy was born just before the war
ended, a final desperate hour
He played among the ruins
of homes turned rubbles
fallen bricks burnt in crashes
heard throughout the years
he left the town of Osnabrück
he wanted to live elsewhere
wanted to try his luck
away from the effect of war
1944, on the flip of side of the coin
Tatars knew the swords
prosecuted by the regime
false accusations of collaborations
Two hundred...

A Bloodthirsty Vision With Love
A peaceful world is not what I see,
death, lies & murder, I just want to flee
when I see you though all those thoughts disappear,
you make my world complete; I love you my dear
Happy Valentines Day to you & many many more
peace on earth, no more fighting, no more wars.
death, lies & murder, I just want to flee
when I see you though all those thoughts disappear,
you make my world complete; I love you my dear
Happy Valentines Day to you & many many more
peace on earth, no more fighting, no more wars.

Reflections of a Civil War
I didn’t know about politics or the status quo,
I didn’t understand the right versus the left,
All I knew were images shown on the news
Until the war hit close to home
I had never seen so many burning buses
I had never seen so many men somber
I had never seen so many women crying
I had never seen so much blood like that
I had never heard bullets whiz by like that
I had never felt tanks roll by the boulevard
Shaking the streets and passageways
And deafening blasts that stun the soul
I had never seen men on the...

Wrong and right .
Her life is a constant dance between what she feels is wrong and right. She’s been a Catholic most of her life distanced and not totally agreeing with the mighty controversy of the guilt of receiving involved in believing. Would God really be this demanding? Would he ask you to enter a conflict that starts in absolutes that leads to conflict then hate that pick fights armed with guns carried by anger and explodes the vulnerable who didn’t speak but where told?
This is the righteous path without a whisper of replies or hope that love is truly the undertone? Dictatorship’s which rip out...

Real Freedom of Expression
You say we have freedom of expression, but this is only when you like what we say.
When you disagree with our opinions, you label us as bigots and extremists.
Diabolical leaders of the world, your laws are full of human excrement and urine.
You make laws against what you call hate speech, yet you sanction wars and bloodshed?
Teaching people to fight and kill one another in the name of patriotism is hatred.
When someone speaks the truth and exposes your evil deeds, you say it is hate speech.
Hypocrites and liars, you support free speech only when it is...

The Bomb
All is Quiet
All is Calm
Till the Bomber
Sings its song
whistling Down
Out of sight
The bomb explodes
With a thundering light
All is Quiet
All is calm
The bomb has
Sung its song
Some are saved
Some are not
Hiroshima
Is left to rot
Who has the power
Who is for sure
No one is safe now
There is no cure
All is Calm
Till the Bomber
Sings its song
whistling Down
Out of sight
The bomb explodes
With a thundering light
All is Quiet
All is calm
The bomb has
Sung its song
Some are saved
Some are not
Hiroshima
Is left to rot
Who has the power
Who is for sure
No one is safe now
There is no cure

Abraham's Legacy
Few memes have spiked Western Civilisation more
than the vicious concept of ‘original sin’
a master-stroke of manipulation — its core?
The many are damned — a few self-righteous get in
Forced choice — binary division — heaven or hell
plus fear-guilt-shame tipped cleverly into the mix …
ask: whom does all this abject horror serve? Well, smell
the demon control-freaks with their carrots and sticks
Weird clothes and ceremonies embed the mystique
obscure language elevates the gate-keeper few
moulding...

Twisted goals
The epiphany is worth
a bicentenary
No one knew
But she's only
Nine
A telephone and a book
Is all she's given
If you don't belong
To this universe
Who will adopt you
I know something good
I KNOW something good
I know something good
I know SOMETHING good
I knew some fickled
I know this in my soul
Its good
Don't corrupt me
I know it's something good
I know it's something good
I'll rise
I'll rise
Plenty
Only this I say
You will rise again
Remember stem

Head clobbing
Ever wondered what
Alice in Wonderland told
The hare
Just abit more time
To be mischiefous
Under the deep moon sky
Welcome the hare
Its got its own
Time frame
Panick will make
You blow hole after hole
Perceive what you understand
Forget the hare
But he'll come
Rounding it off
To the nearest
Secular, meeting
Not for this grid
The hare has to go
But it's law is so
Handicap, what must be
Done?
We have to throw
Out the hare
To unite and publish ...

Peace thief
I've drowned myself in vapid tears
Decaying roots with no room to grow
Corroded with incessant fears
Distinguish between friend and foe
I've seen the armageddon
With raging wars in the fading sunset
While protestors are setting
The tables for the final banquet
The will to rule is fading fast
Like the forces on the front lines
Knowing rules will not last
For those who have an abeld mind
It's a losing situation
No winner will emerge
We've joined together in creation
Of the curse of the purge ...
Decaying roots with no room to grow
Corroded with incessant fears
Distinguish between friend and foe
I've seen the armageddon
With raging wars in the fading sunset
While protestors are setting
The tables for the final banquet
The will to rule is fading fast
Like the forces on the front lines
Knowing rules will not last
For those who have an abeld mind
It's a losing situation
No winner will emerge
We've joined together in creation
