China is becoming
A member of the European Union
So they can bail everyone out
All the good jobs
Will be taken
By Chinese immigrants
Mostly from Tibet...

Five winters ago, Madison Square was cramped with wild teens
as they waited for the music to begin and blast their ears;
I also wanted to share their excitement 
and sing with them while the high-heel songstress
appeared in bikini welcoming their cheers... 
she gave a legendary performance...

...exhortations against Ole Saint Nick
(alternately titled untold treasured shenanigans of Santa)

his elves and reindeer discovered only 
by colluding via "FAKE" fluke 
did I manage to worm winning the trust
among Christmas elves and reindeer

confident this generic guy,
would never breach scandalous
tidbits, into an underground impregnable
air-raid shelter, the...

If time heals all, then when will my alarm clock ring,
If tomorrow is a new day, why do the morning birds not sing,
I want to be awoken, from this dream fueled by disaster,
The hands keep ticking, i just will them, tick faster,
My reasoning is affluent,...

Love me …
hate my writing

Hate me …
love my writing

I can live with the hate

My Vendetta Is Not Vicious,
I Come In PEACE, My Heart,
Is Fragile, Just As Much As 
The Next, Treat It, In An Open
Hand Of Kindness, Respect It,
Don't Abuse It, I Love In Faith,
To The Glory Of My GOD, For I
Could Not Hurt Anyone, 
To The Touch,...

control was the crucial key
evading limits of sanity
resolutely focused on normality

determined to linger unwaveringly
vague lines of uncertainty
that gradually blur inevitably

as reason loses clarity
boundary crossed perplexedly 
control was the crucial key

An Apprentice known only as, "Gale"
Screwed each of the students at Yale
When asked to explain
She replied with disdain,
"I had to make sure I made Bail!"...

AN ADMISSION TO TELL HER TO ADMIT IT
           (to vie in re: the poem “the sun the sea etc.)

The lady doth bequeeth unto me too much praise

The couch grass has withered
for winters change
I make no apology
Milkwood so loftily summoned
As I venture forth
A prompt remainder
into the celestial wilderness
Time is running out
The lunar moon indicates
Even the sky can be shrouded
through the thin line...

Glinting of the nickel
Flip it, place it on the table
Relegate to gravity
That of fate- of destiny
In the end 
It's a choice
To accept 
Or avoid
After the flip,
Do you obey it
Pull back the hammer 
To strike the steel with flint
It's still a choice
Drop hands from wheel, place...

Aura of angry students filled the arena....
Breath of depression brushed against my bare cheek...
So much seeking knowledge under the wings of desperation...
Yet,lost in where I tot I'll get a chance to complete my destination..
Sapiens of different habit wandered into bondage..
Murmurs of troubled hearts flowed with...

Merging the trinity

By: Erastus “Popyeny” Shipuleni
@December 2020

Not always do I get what I want,
Neither does my request materialise as requested,
Nor desire implemented as desired.

what price to enter paradise?
just become a willing device
to extinguish non-believers
and other common deceivers

making this world so much more safe
when dangerous demons are quaffed
an extremely small price to pay
for our deity to hold sway

simply the cost of admission
for sins placed into remission
doing such necessary things
