Collaborators Poems

Magic of the wildflowers

Engrossing sunbirds,
bees and butterflies
Smirks subtly
a cluster of wildflowers

Dispersing seeds
Through wind and rain
A barren monotonous plain
the wildflowers pervade

Singing to the tunes of bees
Waving to the songs of breeze
The wildflowers set a dais
to please the audience

Cosmos, the team head
Vibrant colors they widespread
Dandelions, the collaborators
Destined to list our wishes good

The divine scent they proliferate around 
Is all enough to spellbound-
the novel flies, all perform a lovely play 
And leave us astounded every day 

Engrossing sunbirds,
bees and butterflies
enthrall vividly 
a cluster of wildflowers

Disgraceful Praise

When you are too cool,
And we are dangerously fool!
When you are too good,
And we are mistakenly rude!

When you are going to forgive,
And we are going to dive in the ocean of deceitful bliss!
When you erroneously allow us to speak,
And we are going to attack you at your peak!

You call us "the collaborators",
You kill us by the disgraceful gladiators,
You keep us safe by biased words,
You provide us bliss with the disguised curse.

Until you live long in the blissful hell,
Until you confine us in the glorious jail,
Until you can be refined in your guilty conscience,
Until you rebuke us for our misguided sense.

We are united as your crown is denied,
We are guilty as you are still our guide.
We are ashamed that we didn't know our mind,
That is why you can still rule us and deride.

A Book Reread

I see, looking through a novel read long ago
that most of the story I had overlooked
or misunderstood.

Strings of decades are often a compendium
a journey disjointed by sinkholes and rockfalls;
a digest often left undigested.

If I perused that old book again
went back with a red and blue pencil,
it would no longer be an autobiography
but an 'us' book.

Fact is, you were my collaborators
in these diverse plots,
blameless participants in a tale
I was creating heedlessly
with not a few omissions and fictional asides.

False Friends

Fake friends don't remember friends...
Don't have friends when they grow up
when they get rich...
They changed their identity, they don't recognize a friend
only sycophants,
collaborators
slaves of their enrichment...
In fact, they were not friends...
They were poor profiteers,
thirsty recruiters
thieves of other people's knowledge...
Over time they lost their dignity, their tenderness...
The feelings were erased,
killed the soul and,
promoted a culture of power... !
They are false to themselves...!

My hearts been saved, a lovely end
Hats off to you my merry friend
Your ears and shoulders are now full
You warm my soul like fresh spun wool
I see your smile and feel your hand
My life with you is never bland
You are my life, let’s never part
I love you friend with all my heart

Premium MemberA Historic Event

History cried out at a heinous cost 
'Twas when millions of Jews their lives had lost 
Dead bodies in concentration camps filled 
In the name of Anti-Semitism, killed 

Pogroms, mass shootings to annihilate 
Gas chambers and vans to asphyxiate
Germans, they thought they were superior 
Slew the Jews with motives ulterior 

Forced to work in extermination camps 
Labour till death his sickle around tramps
God's chosen race fighting for every breath
Nazis became the harbingers of death



{The Holocaust, also known as the Shoah, was the World War II genocide of the European Jews. Between 1941 and 1945, across German-occupied Europe, Nazi Germany and its collaborators systematically murdered some six million Jews, around two-thirds of Europe's Jewish population. The murders were carried out in pogroms and mass shootings; by a policy of extermination through work in concentration camps; and in gas chambers and gas vans in German extermination camps, chiefly Auschwitz, Belzec, Chelmno, Majdanek, Sobibór, and Treblinka in occupied Poland}

Premium MemberVoters Remorse

slowly crept the familiar warmth of fetid fallacy
a tidal wave of stealthy lies
oozing its vile variations of truthfulness
immobilizing the wit and wisdom of intelligence

silencing within a dismal darkness 
all resistance to its expanding greed
pandering to the pathetic pathos
of crumb collecting collaborators

The Russians Are Coming

The Russians are coming.
 
Picture this North of Norway it was early spring but still cold
but the days were longer, and the land was gripped by 
the German army and their collaborators.
The Russian army came pushing the Germans south,
the German army tried the scorched earth tactic burning houses
and barns killing livestock, the people were hiding in mines.
The Russian army was seen as heroes, gave the starving people
food and shelter and the North were freed before the south.
The Russians didn’t linger which the deal was struck by
the USA and the Soviets.
After the war when the first election was held the communist
party won the north, which was understandable, but as time
went by and the atrocity of Stalin came to light people voted
for the labour party, but the sympathy of the soviets lingered. 
This war is forgotten now; suddenly Russia is the enemy and NATO
troops are protecting the borders, from what?
But so is the politics of power, shifting alliances and the papers
to that should know better, is staunchly anti- Russian.

Feminism In Palestine

I was watching a TV play; Hercules Poirot was in it, uproar in India and some British officers,
 killed this caused a furore in the English press terrorists had struck again we know the British 
are not racists many aristocratic Indians live in London of the type I would call traitors, 
as great wealth tend to make the rich collaborators.
 I was writing about the glass ceiling broken by women working in high finance, they too 
are turncoats to the cause of equality the press especially the Guardian think they are admirable
 but they only are nothing more than grabbing pirates in skirts.
I`m thinking of the suffering of Palestinian women their glass ceiling is protecting their children
when their job is to resist an occupying army and help their men who fight intruders to their death.
Anyway, Poirot solved that case it was about money and love
it always is perhaps we have to ban then both and Poirot can look for stray dogs

Premium MemberChange

Nothing is constant but change, it is said...
I hate that saying
I hate change
I hate the change of love to indifference
I hate the change that makes a lover a friend
I hate the change that makes a friend an acquaintance

I've witnessed changes...
a band of friends disbands
collaborators collide and subside
"All for one and one for all" becomes only....ONE
damage done

Change.

Not all change is bad
that much is clear to me
I've become stronger, you see
able to be
free

Still...
I hate the change that made you withhold
the greeting...grow cold
forgetting another saying,"old is gold!"
You should be told...
that in all that change
the constant
was 
always~~~
^ME^

Python Cuts Up Commercial Advisors

Act of inspiration wrestle pythons
Research scientists are the primary audience 
ethics and research breakthroughs

bring the beauty, multi-media presentation allows
photographers 
Auto loading service pistol-  long awaited culmination

Brutally overbuilt 
disregard" the request for help 
generally docile  the loudest creatures on earth

Shoot, shovel, and shut-up
collaborators use a suite of factors to assess
national policies to promote efficiency

Europe After the Rain 
Persistence of Memory  done before 1800
Commercial advertisers often seek purpose


An Experienced Perfectionist
showing a belief in and veneration
imbued with pious sacred rites




*For the cut- up contest
( and yes, these are in exact order LOL)

Father Christ called apostles
Be His collaborators
They were His eye witnesses
Apostles are priests and teachers

Holds fast their tradition
Governed by their successors
Successor was first pope, St. Peter
To now 2013, Pope Francis,

Cuba 1958

Cuba 1958

I remember it like the day before yesterday Cuba 1959. Batista, 
the corrupt dictator, had fled, but this was revenge time and 
many of his collaborators were rounded up and shot; and what 
often happen in such occasions there were onlookers cheering 
and having their bloodlust satiated. 

There was one man, man wearing a panama hat in his left hands, 
refusing to wear a blindfold or have his hands tied behind his back.
On top of some steps he stood against a white wall, ready, but 
there was a hesitation; waved his hat to the weary executioners. 
A volley of fire, blood trickled down the steps, deep red, rich. 

They but the body in a coffin, but there was silence, one man’s 
courage had shamed onlookers and soldiers into pensive silence.
The revolution didn’t matter anymore, but human dignity did…
Is this all, does nothing change have we just ended one dictator 
 with another one in the name of the people.

From the Greek apostolos = messenger
Envoy or Representative
In the New Testament initially the term for the twelve meb
His closes collaborators and witnesses
Paul too was priveledged to consider himself an apostle called by Christ
