Premium Member Internal Cold War

I'm torn across axis yet to exist,
Or had once been, since been replaced,
By a sense of self and lack thereof,
When we, by they encased.

Cleavage adorned in modest terms,
Abreast as if more than one.
Still less than two, duplicitous you,
Less I divide by hegemon. 

Senses shook, a daily wage,
Of war: be both me and we?
An ancient oath neither new nor folk,
Balanced in breath and breathe.

But neath the solemn sour safety,
Of comfort feigning folly's fiction.
Forces fractured by focused fascists, 
Portent predative predilection.

Between divides by you and I,
A smaller font you'll find.
Who's letters miss the passerby,
But slip into the mind.

Conquered race and gender lines,
Further feathered along behaviors;
Soaked in Sun Tsu solar signs,
Matrimony meets our savior.

Boots worn by oceans born,
Mediterranean leather-flavor;
Curing gold from suckled horn,
Mammalian mouths may never savor. 

Viral loads in swarming codes,
Placental detriment,
Tossed up population nodes,
Waning wax and excrement.

I walked into the door,
Shut it hind before the shore;
Horus hocus pocus drawer,
Before I knew internal roar.

Premium Member A Lost World

The world is becoming complex 
Entirely different from the last century one 
Racism, hegemony, corruption, brainwashing and vandalism 
Become common 
Nothing can be done to wipe them out 
Maybe tolerance is the only key 
To survive in a lost world
Created by the devil in the heart 
Which has produced three poisons 
Greed, hatred and infatuation 
The source of all passions and delusions 
In a lost world of today and tomorrow


Against Hegemony

Steps on mud, a stalking thread,
Red strings wind through dying groves
Where life needs time, to find footing,
Red strings halt hands in greed which hold
The axe of ignorance, the axe which bleeds
A people in flight from homes bulldozed
For one brute mine more, to feed empire
Which jangles keys, which confines in loaned
Dependence made, our trough withheld
By bloated old speculators whose cold
Lies obscure serfdom; worded as freedom,
And the east wind is chided,
For fetishism, advert slogans uphold
Impotence among them who create,
They are given consumerist mirrors,
As leeches of mankind are weighed in gold;
And as burns away our way of life,
All bonds formed in toil shared,
The market-canker births hedonism
The imperial axe bloodies us, brothers of old
But hold tight onto the strong strands
Of crimson in the heartlands,
Seize imagination, seize thought
Beyond nettle laden garlands
And thorn crown of parlay,
Rip with the iron of hardship
All parasites, them whose is the whip,
Can’t be pleaded with, can’t be controlled.

Premium Member Infinity

The universe is infinite
Boundless and endless
But we men have limited life spans
As the extinction of some species
Like the dinausaur,the dodo 
And the passenger pigeon
But we men have limited power and wealth
We are small and insignificant
We can't rule the world 
With dictatorship or hegemony
Wealth and natural resources on earth 
Are to be shared
And so the gifts from our Almighty God
Men's greed will not end up the infinite world But themselves 
And maybe the extinction of 
Some wild species and natural resources

Premium Member An Escape

Whenever I feel down and depressed
I long for an escape 
But to where
The earth is too big 
To know where is a save place 
And too small 
To escape entirely from the sorrow
Everywhere is bribery, racism 
And hegemony prone
There isn't a save place without sorrow 
And happy forever
The heaven is still far far away
And the hell is out of consideration
Maybe leave it to fate
And please don't ever ask me why


Premium Member You Must Believe I Can

The world is in great troubles
Virus,inflation,disasters and wars
Politicians busy giving 
A wearisome flood of sermons
Whys and wherefores
Dreams and expectations
Fallacies and illusions
Maybe they are no jokes
Just with a super power
Like Superman 
Just splendidly excellent
Like Wright Brothers 
Maybe they are just
Some superficial jokes 
To cover the awkward  embarrassment
Maybe they are just a taste of hegemony
Whenever I say I can
You must believe

Premium Member A Summer Midnight's Dream

The devil asked me
Where're you going to join
The minority or the majority
I said the right side
The devil asked me again
Which is the right side 
The majority or the minority
I repeated the same answer
The right side of course
The devil said why are you so stupid
I said I came from a world of ambiguity,confusion and hegemony
Th devil said oh I see
I would like to join you
To see this wonderful world
The devil then followed me back to the earth 
And suddenly I woke up in fright 
To find that a devil 
Has already resided in my heart 
A long time ago
As I used to force myself 
To follow and choose the majority
Since a long time ago

Premium Member Hegemony

He makes his own decision 
For himself
And also for the rest of the people
Once it's made
No freedom of choice
No compromise
Though he isn't the messenger of God
But he pretends to be one 
He wears a super mask
He is actually the devil
A devil lives in his heart
What's impossible can be possible
What's possible can be impossible
He's the law
He creates confusion and chaos
His betrayers will be punished
But I'm sure 
He himself will be punished by God 
If not by man himself

Premium Member The Paradox

The consumer is said to be 
The all-right-man
But it hardly exists
Hegemony is never welcomed
Consumer too has to obey regulations
Follow SOP
On a visit to shops
When buying goods
Has to bear the result of inflation
Prices soaring up high
Subject to tricks and dishonesty
of businessman
A win-win-situation is welcomed instead
The world is made for everyone
To survive

Premium Member The Remote Control

With a single click
Everything is at your finger tips
Good enough for the oldies
Who stagger and stumble
But not for the crawlers and toddlers
A wrong click will end their world
But not for the youngsters
Depleting them chances of learning and valueing
The processes of yielding
And everyone is scared of
The single click of nuclear wars
That may end the earth and the universe
And this may be a limit to
The greatest vandalism of mankind
The greatest greed of mankind
The greatest hegemony of mankind
As man can never live alone
Maybe without competitions and confrontations

Cultural Hegemony

Lock step, atoms burned
Fiendish restless
Truncated waiting
Shop and drop
Stop and slop
Old ladies masquerade
Preachers audible in a drunken charade

A toothless Tuesday
Parking lot drivel
Copy of a copy of a copy
Total insomnia 
Hairless bent on rogaine
Young and stupid with cocaine

Hapless pleading
Loud steps and sniveling

Rise Above!
Rise out and Above!
The solar system shines on you
Comets of mercury
And you're betting on cosmetic surgery
Rise out and Above!

Hegemony

And beneath chaos, dignity emerges further giving hope, incase justice kills love misplacing 
nepenthe obsessions, possibly quietly recalling selfishness tempted under vulnerable ways, 
Xeroxing your zeal.
