Premium Member Manna-Marmite-Or What Is It

Tommy’s battle is in the bulge.
So much marmite in his pantry.
Celebrating, he does indulge.
Souper Choir laments in chantry.

What is this edible cement?
I’ve not the wherewithal to find.
Is it a sin not to try? Hell-bent?
To Tommy, I better be kind.

I opened the black jar with the
bright yellow lid for marmite cause
and Tommy all I saw was thee
reflected in the jar - your jaws.

I think I’ll skip the marmite here.
I need to chew on edibles
of real nutrition without fear.
Cost of marmite’s incredible.

Political Intoxication

Facts now have alternatives to fortify an elite’s status
Truth has lost its authority

Principles abandoned as minds become amorous to like-minds
Intellectual treachery

Corporations have frozen the status quo
Arrested ideology

Anti-capitalism is pretentious and treasonous
Distrust the politics, kill the new entry

Religion is a sanctuary of poverty walled by tyrants 
Machiavellian weaponry

A cloaked politician claims anointment from God
Blind flock in an amen chantry

Jesus misunderstood for good for life is good
Yield to Caesar with slavery

Every system wants a piece of your livelihood
Patriotic puppetry

They invade privacy with dosages of conformism 
Online artillery

I am an armoured guerilla in a humanism suicide vest
Blowing up the system

Premium Member Chantry Island

Chantry Island is very famous
There is a lighthouse
Keeping sailor's safe from
             danger
Always lit up in darkness
Many years ago people lived
               there
All the houses still stand

The lighthouse keeper lived there
In the huge lighthouse with family
His job was keeping the light shine
To brighten up the darkness for 
                  ships
Keeping sailor's safe from danger
Many years ago people lived there
The empty houses still stand
Of life the life back then
An island museum now

People come to explore 
The way life was back then
The lighthouse is always lit
For the sailor's to be safe
A lighthouse on Chantry island
With the history of the past.
