Corruption. Poems

Mistaken Identity

We judge in others
what we secretly fear within ourselves,
the mirror of hypocrisy polished daily
until it blinds our reason.

I have walked England’s most expensive street,
and as a Black man,
I was clothed in poverty not of my making—
criminal, beggar, illegal—
an identity sewn into me by design,
to dehumanize for the comfort of others,
a madness normalized as truth.

When I

Premium MemberSilent Times

In dead silence, there’s a sound,
noiseless and yet profound.
Deeds provoking, not quite just,
from tainted minds that think, “we must.”

What a precious gem if caught,
the divinity of thought.
To control the human heart,
that takes something very smart.

Some may think the silence means
no one hears, or so it seems.
But there is the speechless word
in the spirit that is

Boy, you Folks sure have a lot of Nerve!
You empty your Corporate Colostomy Bags,
On the same Workers that filled up your Greedy Guts,
Then pay them off with their own Bloody Rags!

Have you no Shame? You Clowns! Have you no Soul? 
Your Mantra seems to be a bit One-Sided,
More Money! More Money! More Money Boys!
You hoard

Twin Decisions

One in the USA, one in Germany 
Too much alike to deny destiny
First the coup attempt, all involved were jailed
Then a pardoning, democracy failed
He set their country back promising a super race
He set the US back, minorities had no place
He controlled the media , all paid their dues
Here in the USA he claimed fake

Deception Has Deep Roots

Shall we travel back in time, to a deception that has ruled mankind.
The year was 1910, a dark, dark night with seven evil men.
The creature that was created there, has left a country in despair.
As we have witnessed throughout time, the Feds, the wars, the Government and their crimes.
All it took for the machine to

Proof of public Corruption examine


Adjacent profits are gained in purchase of information 
Non profit lobby hides, assemblies
And congressional lobby laborers
Caught in data shortage
Corrupt a report purchasing shares of
Corruptible budget items
Obstructing legislation 

Creating false pretense for arrest
Arrest of defined confine 
The hide
The title
The bonds ageing interest
Non profit
Must eat here at specified time
In thousand oaks California 
Only at eves Arch, after

Premium MemberPushed Too Far

I've never been good enough
For you or anyone to love 
The simple act of touching me
Made you wish for a glove 

To you I'm fat and worthless 
Or disgusting and not clean
I know that's not how I am 
You only say it to be mean

You've destroyed my confidence 
Relentlessly abuse me mentally 
As I put

The Oval Office looks gaudy 
And outshines the King of Saudi
Trump’s ugly deco
Gives off an echo 
Of a bordello that’s bawdy

Feast of the Few

Hunger walks barefoot through the streets,
while ministers gorge on stolen meats.
Children suck silence instead of bread,
their futures pawned, their dreams half-dead.

The unemployed queue in endless chains,
their sweat dismissed, their labour drained.
Degrees rot in forgotten drawers,
while power laughs behind locked doors.

Corruption fattens on every deal,
their pockets swelling, ours to steal.
Contracts vanish, truth is sold,
justice buried beneath

Oh silly

Oh silly 
You don't need to be an individual 
I'm your man 

Oh silly 
You don't need to want me too
I'm your man 

Oh silly 
You don't need to think for yourself 
I'm your man 

Oh silly 
You don't need your own personality 
I'm your man 

Oh silly 
You don't get to speak for yourself

It was 9/11/2001 on a still summer day with clear skies and sunny
The start of a beautiful day of goodness
No one expected that dooms day minute

Hide and Seek
Boju- Boju

Playing life's game 
Suited with the right face 
Hide and Seek 
Bojo boju 
A game of subtle pretense 
doing it life's way 
clothed the right way
A mask for every season 
A man for all reasons 
See the masquerade at play
