The Warsaw Uprising
What is freedom?
The brief period of anarchy between the last tyranny and the next?
Are we free if we cannot see the cage?
Or feel the chains?
What if our masters lengthen our leashes?
Only to tighten their hold at a whim?
How can we be free without rule of...

Warsaw Ghetto Uprising / Der Warschauer Ghettoaufstand
Innocent people forced
Into an inhumane Ghetto
While being Jewish

Admiration for the fighters
In the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising

-------------------------------------------------

Unschuldige Menschen 
Gezwungen in ein unmenschliches Ghetto
Nur weil sie Juden waren

Hochachtung für die Kämpfer
Im Warschauer Ghettoaufstand...

Premium Member Bottoms Uprising
Nothing grows naturally
or resiliently,
and certainly not perfectly,
from the top down
or from the outside in

Including pyramids
and sustainable nutrition economies
and healthy
organic
democratic co-passion systems.

Some win/lose things
that do grow virally
from outside in
and/or over-powering
top down:

autocracy
cancer
kleptocracy
pyramid schemes
negative pathology
eco-political colonies
capital expansionism
invasive species
StraightMale privilege
anthrosupremacy
toxicity
pollution
trauma.

I once spoke at a condominium meeting
about cooperative democratic values
for...

Premium Member A Red Uprising
a wealth of rubies
cardinals among berries
red hibiscus bloom

crimson sun sinking
leaving vivid trails of fire
on scarlet roses

dragonflies emerge
going everywhere, silent
on soft carmine wings...

Unsurpressed Uprising
She haunts my dreams 
She is not what she seems
She is my Maud
She has a grab on my heart
She reeled me from the start
She is my Helen
She has turned away from me
She denied my plea
She is my Venus
She posseses my soul
She denied me quite cold
She...

evening going to be surprised;

this is just me up and on the rise;

The Communist Uprising
Why do i, in agony writhe when
 thine eyes, draw a curtain to my plight. 
When words screech for attention,  you only perceive verbose melodrama. 
Or perhaps you live in spite of a class in strife?
And that you guise in colours of safron and...

Uprising
Empty hands were trying to collate
the fallout after the trigger moment
invited the unwelcome guest
wearing explosive vest.

It gives a push to throw away the paper
and I walk up to the ink for a 
new chapter. The squinting sun was 
not able to break the stoic silence...

From aquifer be low
Break surface
Babbling babbling upwell
Plumos in addy.
Purest Earthblood
Clear clean simplicity
Flow cool and true
Always your level
Quietly condially unremitting...

Was it him?
No,
his brothers
tied grenades.
on dead black birds
heaved them high.
to fly, wings tied back,
up to a third story balcony....

Rise Again
Tak oor grund from beneath oor hurdies 

Burn oor birches aside the lough, 

Besmirch hard fecht fur freedom, 

Dictating oor days tae come, 

No from the pint o a gun, 

Fae laws an promises  broken. 

Lees an lees spout forth like watter 

Lives expended...
