The Injustice Of LightWhat kind of system, what kind of light,
Where the poor stay in darkness despite the night.
A government servant burns a thousand bright,
Yet pays no bill, no burden in sight.
Free connections, excuses so old,
Feeding on the nation’s wealth, greedy and bold.
Even the electric poles weep in pain,
As justice hangs trembling in its fragile chain.
And there stands...

Dark timesThe world is bleeding
and it seems no one can
do a thing to stop it.
There's desperation
in the urgent need for healing
and no one seems to care.
They've given up,
it's probably too late
as the planet spins out of control.
The greed of men seems boundless,
does no one see the coming of the end?

July 4thReusable coffee cup with a metal straw
My small pathetic efforts
Are covered by filth
As fumes of rich suited bastards
cover our longings in excrement
Snatch the medicaid from your dying Grandmother's mangled hand
To fill another yacht
With fake breasts and Botox filled martini glasses
The masses are happy it's July 4th
But I can only hope for...

France, Listen!!France…
Listen!!
You were once an empire —
Your shadow stretching across continents,
But not in love, not in light,
Only in blood, only in brutality.
You came not with gifts,
But with guns and chains,
Your hands red with conquest,
Your heart void of remorse.
I walked the fields of Algeria,
And I saw them —
Three women,
Stripped of dignity,
Breasts cut off by your soldiers,
Their spirits...

Two Drunkards
They sat holding bottles
In their hands
And armpits
Pouring mouthful
Of liquor to fill
Their hollow stomachs.
They gazed at each other
As cat and mouse
And spoke a lot of
Inglish with slain syntax
To devirginate
Their motherland.
The two drunkards!
Spoke of a nation's illusions
And the wilted state of
A nation's elites
Raping the cultural norm
Who raped the temple?
They said something
About...

THEY ARE NOT YAHOO BOYSThey can be so much more
if only you let them in
if you show them a world
beyond screens and borrowed dreams.
They are not yahoo boys.
They are survivors of a broken system
running from the weight of waiting
where opportunity hides behind closed doors.
Imagine who they could become
if the field was level
if rules were sacred
and hope wasn’t taxed by...

DiddyThe devil is
what the devil is
the devil does
what the devil does
why blame Diddy
for what one accepts,
the cravings of a shallow ego?
Hollywood-fame comes with an
industry price
sort of like sitting on a subway
seat, where last sat a commuter
covered with lice --

Divinity On Trial
**I.**
Does my radiance scorch your comfort?
Does my presence rattle your idols?
You call me delusional—
Yet tremble when I speak without chains.
**II.**
You offer pills like prayers,
not to heal, but to silence.
Still I rise, voice unmuted,
confessing only that I am whole.
**III.** ...

The Discarded ManTrapped in layers of sin, ambiguity, and shame.
The man walks the loud, but still, lonely streets of the city, searching for something that he does not know. The discarded man. A man standing in the wilderness, screaming out shrieks of pain that are lost in translation. The man fears he is alone. The man...

Swans and SnakesA million dollars will shut a thousand mouths
forever seal black books
seed a million clouds
place bodies in swamps
and swaying from meat hooks
and far- far underground.
A billion dollars can by a million souls
denature the fabric of the globe
chase hope and faith down the rabbit hole.
A billion dollars will promptly end investigation
turn the lake of truth...

The Future of IsraelAs spoken by the Voice of Wisdom
O House of Israel,
Heed the sound of the wind that carries ancient truth across the sands of time.
Once you wandered through deserts and kingdoms,
Once you suffered at the hands of empires and tyrants,
And the world wept for you—
So great was your sorrow that even your enemies offered you a...

Eve of DeconstructionThe Buffalo church, it is implodin'

We're good enough to give, but have no say in votin'
You don't believe in division, but what's that decree your totin'
You fired our trustees and now you're gloatin'
