I am the fall leaf that spins on the branch. The autumn flower bowing to winter's gaze. I am the last bird to chase the fleet foot sun. The final cut of skeptical, loon grass.
You are the silent shriek of winter's gasp, The tease of time's cryptic temper. You are the promise of menagerie green. The progenitor of silver scent melts.
We are the bridge of blended suns rising.
The continuance made possible.
We are wakers and sleepers of the in-between. The silent clip of the small hand turning.
Welcome to the newborn summer
Idiocracy Final Cut
You think you are smart.
You think you are clever.
Because you have monopolised our society.
And buried the treasure.
Cole’s Myer and Woolworths own half of Australia.
Another prime minister another ing failure.
another freight train about to derail.
Another system built to fail
Imagination is our only weapon in the war against reality.
I prefer to practice the art of mindfulness and meditation.
On my quest to regain my sanity
instead of taking a fist full of antipsychotic dog medication.
Planet Earth has being contaminated, consumed,
by
consumerism,corruption,coercion,religion,racism,
violence,discrimination division and war.
I was born to snap your neck as I rock this world to its core.
The words on this page were written for all to see as
Did I find music?
Or did Music find me?
Written by Adrian Bogdal 18/12/2024
People rush and hustle,
Mopping with gloved hands, tools of steel,
Wiping away blood and sweat from the floor,
Scrubbing the metal, blades, and hooks,
Sponges damp like the weight of sacrifice.
The work ends with a final cut,
Leaving the factory restored,
But the air thick with the scent of iron,
Machines hum like the march of the willing,
Tanks rise like the flag of duty,
Until the stench of labor fades.
I am the fall leaf that spins on the branch.
The autumn flower bowing to winter's gaze.
I am the last bird to chase the fleet foot sun
The final cut of skeptical, loon grass.
You are the silent shriek of winter's gasp
The tease of times cryptic temper
You are the promise of menagerie green
The progenitor of silver scent melt
We are the bridge of blended suns rising
The continuance made it possible
We are wakers and sleepers of the in- between
The silent clip of the small hand turning
Welcome to the newborn summer
Swaying grasses taunt the meadow
Egged on by a chilling breeze
Silently the stealth of an owl
Toys with the shimmering moonlight
As dark wings dance across her face
Grey wolves lurk amid the cold stones
A tinge of fall on the meadow
Final cut will start at daybreak
The loud smell of diesel’s warning
Alerts the meadow’s populace
The meadow’s moonlight did not lie
The cut endured
By mortal blade
The blood of life
Will ever fade
No sign of light
Eternal shade
A crimson corpse
Forever laid
In the scheme of things known, I
traverse the unknowns. Everything is
somewhere waiting to be felt,
wherever you go------there you are.
The moon, the stars, universal places.
Playful bays of islands forever now
reveal solid profiles of homemade
solitudes. The temperature of you and
I, a cluster of one on interstellar
overdrive, a mosaic of loss of words,
marooned on a final cut above-
fearless sheep coming back to life
donning shapeless echoes of young lust
tunnel visions. The Mother of us all.
Have a cigar?
Wish you were here.
Bye
You said you’d wait for ever
But your forever means 4 days
I really need to tell myself
You’ll never change your ways
Life is to short though lou
Is what you always say
But why does it feel like
I keep reliving this day
Round and round in circles
Something has to give
This ain’t the way I planned it
Ain’t the way I wanna live
I handed you the Scissors
But you made the final cut
this was all your decision
Good bye you ing ****
Signed sealed delivered
11
If Death be now the final cut
With no path to Heaven's door...
Thou I've never had the courage
To believe there's nothing more.
So forgive my celestial musings
And lay waste not my bugaboo
But allow me one small favor...
To love and pray for you.
12
Forgiveness be a wondrous thing
With no stone to weigh it down.
It knows no age nor time of day...
It knows no proper noun.
It floats upon a summer breeze
And makes light the coming storm.
It dances in each fireplace
To keep the masses warm.
But forgiveness holds no treasure
If not effected and applied.
So slather in gluttonous quantities
With a conscience as your guide.
13
There seemed a hellish wintry bent
As the storm pounded through the day.
The winds were whipping fiendishly
As our snowman walked away.
With a feral dose of helter skelter...
Nature seemed transfixed from normal rest
Leaving one to mull and ruminate
On the perturbations so expressed.
The End
Bugaboo: Area of concern.
Perturbations: A disposition that is confused and quite upset.
*Follow my cartoon at Webtoon Bob's Your Uncle.
life had become a flat line
a once wonderful rhythm
ceased to pulsate
not even palpitations
pressure had won over
struggling on
depression self-harm
cognitive dysfunction
one final cut
then he touched her heart
excised rotten valves
replaced them with joy
bypassed clots of despair
offered new lease of love
sleeping beauty woke up
from deep slumber
when the surgeon
closed the wounds
she bore her scars with
gratitude and pride

They searched for fruit
That subconscious memory of flavour
That lingered scent, that succulence,
That soul satisfying savour.
But the tree that bore their bounty
Had long ago been hacked
By the very axe they carried
On their bent and broken backs.
Each day they passed to pluck at fruit
Their axe had made its mark
They did not take it from their backs
To hang upon its bark
And then one day that tree was felled
Their final cut the last
And memory of the saving fruit
Now long ago has passed.
Princess Bride
Your faiytale has come true
Look how the stars shine for you
Eminating back from a single glass slipper
Are you the fairest of them all ?
Adorned in a white wedding train
Clambering along royal track's
With Veil laced black
Hold up behind the Castle wall's
Is the faiytale of going to the ball
All your dream's foretold ?
Is Prince Charming ?
Charming or alarming ?
Have you found happiness in the marital bed ?
Or is the dream dead ?
Doth love bridge the divide ?
Can love survive ?
Where is 1 to hide ?
When great expectations of human relations
Do not make the editor's final cut
Eyes wide shut
The but of rising above 1 station
Fell victim to the fantasy created
She lies
She dies
She cries
The tear's of 20 /20 vision
The heart harps back
To lesser majesty
Back to hope
Before the tragedy
you may feel scared, but it will be okay, just fold your little hands and pray, do this and understand the evil cannot take your life away. the father will sent angels, so don't let evil win, cuz the angels and our savior are your best friend. if you are worried,or stuck in a rut, don't worry, this is not the final cut. there will be rainbows and butterflies, and angels and ice cream so hold on tight to him your best friend, cuz they are on your team. yeah, I had a hard life, but I'm a Christian now, so anyone who can hear me, this is my first bow. yeah, yeah, I made it through, but guess what, so can you. life is really enjoyable, do not have no fears, how bout this, these will be the years. years of joy and peace, from loving every one, years of having lots of fun. just open your eyes, smell the
flowers, because that there is godly powers. happy things are coming your way, so just meditate and breate the fresh air today. nothing bad will happen if you believe in him, so just close your eyes and count to teen, cuz soon you will be with him.
I wish you peace starry child
As you face the final cut
Resonating Black Star dust
Strumming on gods guitar
In touching distance of the gates
We're the light your soul awaits
Rest in peace
Never forgotten
Because i know you blew our mind's
And left us in uncertain times
You take your time. You smile and wave but once You get home you know all is gonna change you grab your knife And you Cut yourself just once but you can"t stop and before you know it you have 12 more down wrist. The pain still don't stop but the scares are now permanent and all you here is that your freak a useless nothing and you start to known its true so you finally have enough you make a final cut a cut across your throat with one finally word. Cared on to your arm I'm the freak that's gone.
