No Deal

...You can’t make a deal
with a Judas 
As tenured
they govern on high

Like the British
who sought our indenture
With graft and self-interest
they lie

You can’t play the game
any longer

Death's Indenture

...Many die
to walk unknown
amongst
the living dead

Their hearts reclaimed
yet beating still
whose verses
go unread

They wander freely
in the night
their chains
relock the grave

Awaiti...

Cloning Tomorrow

...Mankind
was never meant
to survive the future
Technology
 a trap
their greed as bait
Generations
sacrificed
in self destruction
On altars
of indenture
— their natures gone

She graced a many a stage.

...Female, I felt! Chirped differently than on other days!
As though crying and screaming in many ways
It might not be owing to the change of weather, I know.
Nor, due to the drizzles, visited its ne...

Heaven's Gate

...Reaching into the 
public conscience
words are tokened free

Blowing fresh holes
through blind indenture
light for all to see

Reaching into the 
common ledger …  
its double-entry fate

...Dear Old Joe,

I have found a retiring fascination
with right nature conserving
and yet very wrong 
left-handed spiritual answers

Messengers to invite

Cybersurfing Netizen Flounders

...Cybersurfing netizen flounders...
analogous to a fish out of water

Ever since being a little gull hubble buoy,
I bobbed (while donning square pants)
like spongy flotsam and jetsam at sea.

...Cliffs call me; yonder scenes to see,
Not to leave them dearest plains plea;
Seas see the senile sight and smile,
Heart yearns to fly free for a while…!

Faces of human beings here,
Appear clea...

...The past and the future
fold into the present
Conceptually vacant
twice empty refrains
No before and no after
perpetually frozen
The ice of indenture
—this moment contains

...We pass their vagrant shrouds each day
then watch as silhouettes excrete
from hovel crates amidst the street.

In fear, we hurry on our way
and if by chance our paths traverse,...

...When I was a child
 a mere simulation of an adult reconciled,
 in the body of a seven-year-old adventurer -
I'd be a scientist, explorer or a writer succumbed to indenture,

...I’m actually tired of being myself…
can I be you for awhile

I hide from the mirror and monogrammed lies,
as I run from an image defiled

I thought I was safe and had made my escape,

The Final Vote

the politician remanded

To the Devil he stated:
“Your program’s too thin

“You need to refigure
