Facts Or Fictions
Headline news proclaims disasters
Man made climate change the fear
But fewer die now, caused by weather
Death rates falling year by year
There are data that are false
There are data that are true
There are data that have little
Effect on me and you
All white people deeply racist
Causing darker folks to cower
Once a fact of observation
Now a myth some

Trick Or
I use make-believe
overwriting memory
to bring me some peace
The fiction I’ve weaved
you’re at the store - you wouldn’t leave
is a fool’s relief
So I take mine neat
sweet opiate of self-deceit
my strange trick or treat
*a play, in 3 Senryus*

ps, I write short stories too

The Letter
After a long tired day
I come home,on my bed,
Listening to him;
Never felt so touched, never felt so swayed
This was not the classic music this time which made me pleased,
The words, the unspoken pauses he took,
I understood this time.
The song said a lot, having deep emotions within,
Felt connected to a human I never met.
The silly little

Janissaries of Peculiar Fictions
David J Walker
Janissary mercenary
Defender of the faith
What fate awaits the imaginings
Of the faithful
From the thrown colored in
Peculiar fictions unknown
Whether worlds without end
Life everlasting with
Saints and angels singing
on the heads of pens
Or streets paved with gold
bought and sold with
Favors of 70 virgins
in waiting

The Masters of Fictions
Creating avatars in political and law reality,
contracts and controlling stability.
Modus vivendi where the money flows,
oceans of spirit fears in tows.
Irresponsible silence of motions,
honored sheep’s and their devotions.
Munchausen’s syndrome via comic book,
kindly bulling with every look.
Home at causes, churches and cult,
never able to see the own insult.
Insisting on taking over and fixing things,
manipulated moments for the

Our Preposterous Fictions
The preposterous fictions many
profess to be unvarnished truth
warp the very fabric of our universe --
cause those long dead to walk among us
through the spectral midnights in our minds.
The bone dust of those past millennia

Fictions On Occasions
Walked in my topsiders
Another path of lies and outsiders
Sashayed dauntlessly in a setting of acquaintance
Laugh, drink, and dance… Forget the stance
For every hour’s worth of deceit
This lie is my fuel to withstand my emotional defeat
A night pumped with intoxication
Denial is worth the suffocation.
Forced by circumstances
I’m living this life with little chances
I am expected to feed

The Dangers of Fictions
The lives of others I can not but steal.
Their thoughts, their dreams, their loves, are all in books inscribed,
Ripe for the taking. Their minds fit mine like new skins.
It does not hurt them: book folk are not real,
And I need their worlds, for my eyes described
One jagged, where crimes can’t all be sins.
But
