Premium Member Dinner Scraps
Dinner scraps, primal deathtraps. Life’s meal is the class struggle, and some of us are left starving. We are the movement of the masses, a sleeping colossus running on corporate time. Dinner scraps, merciless steel traps. We are measured only as commodities. We give our lives as wage chattel. We make our homes or lose them on the edges of a time clock. Dinner scraps,...

Blood Has No Caste
The calamity on the leaders of the dynasty was very heavy. Drona, Bhishma, Arjuna, all faded, all getting sad, A Suyodhana rose, speaking, 'Veer! Well done!'

The Caste
The seed of ego and pride continued to generate hatred Somebody grinded, somebody kept choking here and won Every human being described himself as the greatest caste Mankind was everyone's caste, why did every human forget it. In the face of hollow claims, know how the country is growing Now the curse of casteism is also suppressing humanity Do not blame...

Caste a Spell
O foolish Amerikan klan, who hath Klux bewitched thee with pale poof? Kluless to the celestial truth, Love immutable is infinity grand Children of the Aryan band, what doth the dark star say unsooth? Thy divided house is quaking from the foundation to the roof, as incantations of hatred are caste by thine hand Stir madly the black cauldron with thy ladle iron...

Premium Member Graveyard Caste
Come quickly, let us tempt the fading mists we ghostly shadows of a graveyard tryst ashamed - not of our deed - but of our sin fulfillment of the dream of now, not then. And so among the silent headstone hush we lie beneath the tangled thorny brush endure the sting of freshly bloodied lust defile the silence of a graveyard trust. Thus...

Premium Member Caste System of Womens Fingernails
Other women’s fingernails are styled, painted, decorated, clipped and buffed. Movie star-type nails. With little stars, stripes, polka dots, dainty designs for the seasons even. My nails are not these. My nails are chipped, not clipped. I cannot stand the sound of a fingernail file. You know how chalkboard scratching hurts some people’s ears? I could scratch a chalkboard all day long. It...

Osu Caste
I don't know when these lines ran off my shouldering lips this morning... but I guessed they are spirit and being, home and forest, evil and sorrow.

Trump's stones become a big pile After he had been vain and vile As soon as last stone was caste By all our pleasant lives went past. Think Trump thinks he is smarter And may...
