Should I Tell the Bishop?Am I to grab this nasty neighbour
by the scruff of his scruffy neck,
shove his head against
that lovely hard wall between our apartments,
and hear a delightful crack?
He is not as gracious as
my friend the bishop.
And so I laugh so much
when I think about it,
loving the nasty neighbour as much as I do not.
is it not more...

anonymous warriorthe faceless strikes keyboard hard
shooting opinion barbs
inside the church he prays to
this anonymous stalker hunts
his unseen victim-cries
he-the faceless remains faceless

Is America Great YetEverything this person say, think and do revolves around money. There was a saying that “Money is the root of all evil.” I beg to differ. Money is not the root, the love of money is.
The need and greed to be that obsessed displays someone who is possessed.
The need to control it all, to want...

Norwegian IslandWe arrived beneath the Arctic night,
where shadows speak and snow forgets.
The hour was late — the sky, without stars —
and silence held its breath.
They led us down through frozen stone,
where time stood still in vaults of seed,
the cradle of the world encased in frost,
beneath the Svalbard grief.
There, they gathered — men with hands of power,
voices...

To be freeWhen chains do bind a body tight,
It may one day be freed with might.
The tyrants know this truth too well,
So books they craft where thoughts do dwell.
With words they tie the innocent mind,
Their subtle tools, so cruel, yet kind.
Each nerve within the soul they bind,
And soon the body’s trapped, confined.
No freedom shall that...

Donald Trump is the felon on the looseImmortal mind, my ghost follows my every move.
Intercepted thoughts, clearheaded internal function.
Machines roam this world, time of the metal mind,
loss of human conscience, Elon Musk taking over the world!
Political confusion, MAGA intrusion, January 6th.
Hate your neighbor! Love your enemy! Donald Trump!
Constitution is the thing of the past, lock her up!!
No excuse given, just pure ignorance,...

Silent Fire, Sacred StrengthThe classroom is a quiet forge,
and I, a blade in silent fire—
shaped by care, tempered in calm,
honed to serve a brighter purpose.
But into this heatswept chamber she storms,
a tempest cloaked in titles—
her words the hammer’s fall,
striking without measure, without proof.
She holds a flame to my calm steel,
asking why I do not sparkle like she:
“Why do...

IN SILENCENot sure when it started at 6 staying
out of a brutally violent household
taking to the unforgiving streets.
The streets became my teacher and
family albeit dangerous life lessons
learned from a merciless source.
Spiritual and corporal sorrow from father’s
beatings, his cruel degradation too much to
bear, as everyone stood by watching me bleed.
At 13, befriending teens from troubled homes,...

To the FlowersOh! flowers why are you spreading,
Fragrance and beauty without any cost ?
You are being sold in market at a cost,
Your quality and your beauty are selling.
Oh! flowers why do you spread your blooming,
Fragrance and beauty without any cost?
They give you to dears to show their host,
The guest sees your charm and feel...

HER SILENT TAUNTSShe wakes up in the morning with a bright smile,
Not knowing what sleep is - just a word spoken around.
So many voices echo in her ears saying "end it all,"
Fighting battles sometimes she can't even recall.
She will always be more than enough,
Even when things get tough.
Socialising is her greatest enemy,
Leaps through storms just to find...

In the Shadow of the ChalkboardIn halls where silence speaks louder than words,
I stand, a beacon amidst the unseen.
Their gazes, sharp as unspoken swords,
Pierce through the facade, where I've always been.
Once, my voice resonated with pride,
Now, it's drowned by murmurs and disdain.
Yet, I endure, with dignity as my guide,
In a place where respect is hard to attain.
But within me, a...

chanting hypocritesthey chant-and they chant
but do they know the words true meaning?
they wear the colours that show their support
but do they know what these colours represent?
they wave their flags but not of their own
some may say this is an act of treason?
the words they chant are against a certain ideology-
but it's that ideology that gives...

My HabitMy Habit
You say I eat a lot—
But a lot eats me.
I got stress I can’t tame,
Hate that drives me insane.
So many therapists I can't name,
Yet still love you and can't cause you shame.
Before you judge me based on my order,
Saying I have an eating disorder—
Ask:
What the hell in this world is in order?...
