Best Legalised Poems


Politricks
Four in one, nine baptised,
I hear you say legalised fraudlence,
Promises air-conditioned highways and streets,
Salaries and wages without working,
An easy life made sweet and comfortable.

Now, all can join the bandwagon of rigging, 
Of Moonslide Marsslide victories,
With babies and peoples ritually sacrificed,
Received with glee by their lord,...

Ceremony of Shame
She trembled in anticipation

Dressed in white the perfect bride

She was surrounded by people

Who nodded and who smiled,

They were all apart of creating this ceremony,

Even though she did not want this,

Even though she was under age,

The marriage ceremony and this bond

Had been created well beyond

Her power...

The Nudist Beach
A preconception in my mind
Of a nudist beach in the sun
Men of pervy persuasion 
Roam the sands 
Eyes behind dark glasses
Men with their dangly bits 
A display of exhibitionism?
A desire to be seen?
A legalised flasher with no coat
Or a haven of nature 
Being free

However I...

Marijuana



Drug tests,
loss of employment,
Jail sentences.....
and even execution !

Medical issues,
and I get legalised,
Killing symptoms.....
of cancer and HIV !

I am marijuana !

Recreation 
forget about,
That's illegal !

Killing of pain,
gain in disease,
Well that's legal !

Alfred the Great- a Maverick
A West Saxon King of Wessex and grace
He dealt with the Danes a convincing deface
Father of Navy and military blow
A legalised system the people should Know
Nation divided the Danes bowed to truce
Example in history for Robert the Bruce

Before this great stand 870 anon
He fought with...

Electro Convulsive Therapy
Raped of all freedoms, basic democratic rights
Restraints ever tighten casting underdog to fight
Sharp scratch of needle pierces State sectioned vein
I submerge to a world of the psychiatrists drain


Adult my dummy preventing tongues loss to bite
Held within induced seizures epileptic in might
I welcome the darkness, one...

A Mistake I Was To Her
She became a prostitute at an early stage
At 17 she carried me in her womb
A mistake I was to her
Regrets was her daily bread
She hated the fact that I was part of her body
Pregnant she was
Abortions were not legalised back then
Gues she could have aborted...

Politricks
It was
four in one
nine baptised i hear

You say
this is indeed
legalised fraudlence

In it
air-conditioned 
highways,streets promised

as are 
salaries and wages 
without legitmate working

and easy
life made sweet
and very comfortable

all can
now join the 
bandwagon of rigging

of shows,
adulating in Moonslide
and Marsslide victories.

Alas with
babies and peoples
ritually gleefully sacrificed

with joy
received by their...

Cash
A Pile of Rotten Cash 

The world has become a terrible place.
I often ponder,
what is to become of the human race.
Everywhere there is poverty, and greed.
Of a social conscience,
goverments, seem to think there is no need.
Legalised murder is committed every day,
as thousands of unborn children,
are...

Premium Member Thus Spoke Zarathustra
Travel is not a right
But a privilege, thus spoke Zarathustra 
In his most late incarnation
Travelling is tied with applying
But it’s more than ridiculous to ask for privileges.
Especially since the answer is known.
Zarathustra's commodity is hate
I'm not tempted to support his drama
Let those who agree to...

Children's home reject
Left on a step
Couldn't control
The kid who wept
 
No questions asked
Why did he cry
Social departments
Never bothered to try
 
At seven years old
What could cause such as this
Tear laden child
Just drifts
 
Society drops him from home to home
Its a legalised criteria
For a soul to...

Premium Member serpentine slither
what appeared to be poisonous was merely phosphorus
deeply tattooed into the warrior’s skin from an ambush
in the land of never-ending wars against imagined foes
with a myriad of causes cascading from power and greed

what does a Welshmen have to do in bloody Afghanistan
he used to have...

Premium Member Fanfares of the Common Man
At the breakdown of ages man disappears and reappears
In the form of an easy-to-use scheme
Over the last half-century, man has been replaced
By technocratic ideas of what a man is
But the real man can no longer fit into these forms,
which have shrunk like old clothes.
At the...
