Earth life, a hard school, dark desire cesspool,
Senses externalised, all objects sized,
No wonder then, we behave like a fool,
Truth dawns, when by Holy Spirit baptised.
Ego controls thoughts, so we’re ill-advised,
Body hormones rule, our instincts cruel,
Bemused by illusions, fleeting goals prized,
Earth life, a hard school, dark desire cesspool.
All hope seems lost, feral lust’s our fuel,
Though conscience speaks, as God Himself disguised,
We heed Him not, behaving like a ghoul,
Senses externalised, all objects sized.
Hypnotised by thoughts, our soul’s paralysed,
Chasing rainbows, we continue to drool,
Game of shadows leaves us demoralised,
No wonder then, we behave like a fool.
Discerning cause of pain, as pulse dual,
We cease thought flow, that ego’s vaporised,
Thoughts reassigned to their role as a tool,
Truth dawns, when by Holy Spirit baptised.
In timeless time, God within’s realised,
Heart lotus blooms, revealing soul’s jewel,
In-form polarities are stabilised,
Our free will’s liberated for self-rule,
Earth life, a hard school.

Misplaced by sick society
Assumptions from the blind
I think of going whilst I’m grieving
Leaving all behind.
Next, I see my people
Fighting for our rights
Now breathe the better from the fetter
and the biased bites.
As they each are special ones
That truly understand
The importance of our people
And our sacred land.
Yet misplaced I see no haste
To run away or roam
For we always were the principle
Unified at home.
Sound society-Prime priority
Keeping peace for all
Surviving ghastly genocide
And all mishaps before
Respect must be for all, see
Even during whether
Demoralised from the lies
Or standing strong together.

Advertising
Looking for clients, people who’ll buy
Got lots to sell bigger fish to fry
Looking for a break through
It’s got to come soon
I’ll advertise a fork and sell you a spoon.
Magazines and newspapers, that’s what I’ll try
Make the add slanted to catch the eye
Wait for the phone it’s bound to ring
On edge all night
Hope I got it right
But still didn’t sell a bloody thing
Changed the format and went digital
Spent four hundred quid, recouped sod all
Promises made, by a chief exec
On edge all night
Hope I got it right
Nothing sold online or by cash or cheque
I look at my product, I know it’s great
I look at the clock and I’m running late
Placing my add it’s all about me
On edge all night
Hope I got it right
But no buyers hooked even though it’s free
Last chance saloon, sent in a pic
I did my hair and think I look chic
Held my goods for everyone to see
On edge all night
Hope I got it right
Come to the conclusion, it must be me.

I am desperate, and demoralised, I don't know what to do,
What will be my very next step; I have not the faintest clue.
From street to street in search of work, tirelessly I have walked,
Because of innate diffidence, success has repeatedly baulked.
Born less gifted, slow witted, and presumably terribly mediocre,
Competing with the more endowed, was never within my power.
My self-esteem was cruelly sapped, with contemptuous rejection,
Achievement has eluded me because of my negative aspiration!
From street to street wearily I trudge, in search of any work.
My stars are down, my destiny doomed-- tragic is life's quirk!
What recourse to take, I fail to guess, to earn an honest pie,
If survival is so difficult for me, the only option left- is to die!

An erotic lettuce leaf. Strip. Then consume. Consumption of consummation is quite colourful in a layered green hue. But how often barbarians liberate barbeques with a token. How quite unfortunate for a flame to flambé. But nevertheless horseradish soup is extremely lovely at this time of year. Especially when tied to a tree. Tether well the cantering ones. In canopies. In classes. Fresh glasses are only an option in queue b and queue a often receives free unsolicited junk mail at ten a m. Do not judge a deviant monster of a mobile mob. For adjusted adjudication is best left to apples. In skirts. With very pink lips that bubble. Sitting on a time bomb is not wise. Over a decade. Over a drawing. And how quite entertaining it is to run around and around and around carrying a silver shopping bag with a golden handle. Great. Fantastic isn't it. Staffing steering steeples showing showery showerheads. And an exciting journey for a tiny little dog at the five million acre fun fair. Hahaha and how cutely arranged are the small onions leaping down the highway. Wow. Xxxxx curvaceous carrot creates calligraphy. Xxxxx demoralised Z no p y q today just Z

How do you feel?
When someone is pointing at,
Only you, when you are sitting,
In a group, at a dinner table.
Where are you originally from?
He asked me, when the other nine was waiting,
For my answer, why did he ask me only?
The meaningful answer demoralised me.
I am from heaven, I said,
I came to watch the Religious people,
They are claiming for Heaven,
They know to live on earth or not.
I‘ll answer to him, who send me on Earth.
He felt insulted, still seeking degration,
He attacked on me, in a classroom,
When I was talking to someone, he abused me.
Although later, he apologised but still burnt,
When he insulted me again and asks me for apology,
They were unite against me, but still
I was fighting against their hidden agenda.
At the last day in training, a girl said to me,
At least I understand all, why they targeted you,
Because I talk to you, they felt insulted
I know, they are minding your colour.
