See it?
The cracks, the fractures - open, bleeding.
My mind laid bare, a battlefield of glass,
barbed wire threading through my thoughts,
indoctrinating spirals slicing through every soft impulse.
Chaotic proportionality,
twisted in the wake of your hands.
You constructed this wreck,
hammered rules into bone,
scarred my spine in silence,
every word a shard left to corrode in me.
visceral in every memory,
every cut screams with the echo of control.
Ant still-
you walk on it.
step after step,
your words drive splinters deeper into my skin,
indifference pressing down like stone.
Every slash bears your signature,
every jagged edge charts the space you occupy
while I lay shattered beneath it.
I do not flinch.
I do not move.
I am the ruin you made me,
exposed,
and yet you're still upright,
on the pieces of me
you discarded.
Debate
Freedom & Rights
The right to work
Or the crimes of War
The churches refuse
To work,
Indoctrinating cowardice
And using weak debilitating
Language as lures.
Guiding rather than
Releasing the hostage, permanent
Possession or whatever have you
War is the act of
A non stable
Collection
Of goods,
Human and resources
A lack of something
Is drawn as in
The manor of a weapon
Being used rather than
Created in produce, production
And plain sight
The reduction of freedom
In the frame of opposition
Recalibrating sunshine
And indoctrination of trait,
The creation of traitors.
An lateral move is
In conjunction with
Ties, tying a ship against
A fixed coordinate.
This is a removal of
A post and creation
Of accounting in terms
Of persecuted for believing
One saw a number
That one cannot see
For that number never
Existed.
Subversion
The trees smell so real, so sympathetic.
A monument to strength and victory.
They seem like a shoulder to cry on.
Something to rely on in an uncertainty.
The birds still chirp and hold no grudge,
but rather stll try to provide a comic relief smile.
They are still playing grabass,
little cocks on the walk stealing radiator bugs.
Adorning our rule over the Earth in circular totem style.
Even though they are dropping from the sky.
Wading in infested puddles, eating Monsanto Rye.
I'm not a cryer but ....
Where did it all go?
Did reality tv and all their ugly
sided indoctrinating Media offerings do ALL this?
Did we really try to kick Lucy's football all those times, and end up on our dumb asses?
Where do we go from here?
Look for a rhyme?
Civil War, Natural Disasters, Rumors of War, Plagues, Massive Animal Die Offs, Seismic Unrest,
Incoming Asteroids.
What are we doing?
What do we do for an encore?
Maybe it is time to believe in something.
Goodnessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss.
History Repeats Itself
By: Miracle Man
6/27/2020
As past sins are remembered,
and while restitution/revenge is being sought,
evil upon the world is wrought.
History is incontrovertible,
yet history is being erased/altered.
By allowing statues to be torn down,
portraits removed, flags changed,
and the renaming streets and buildings,
Our country is becoming more fractured.
Each thing is offensive to someone.
The sins of our past must be remembered
for “Those who cannot remember the past
are condemned to repeat it.”
In the name of social justice
we jump through hoops to appease a vociferous crowd.
We’re indoctrinating young minds with the narrative,
that “The end justifies the means”
thus making violent acts acceptable.
Hatred is a heart thing,
And Jesus loves us!
Proverbs 10:12 -
Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth all sins.
Moral Decay
(A Tom Wright opinion)
1-3-2020
Our country is now mired in moral decay,
By the actions of many, being coddled today.
Attitudes are bad and our skins are too thin,
And its all come about because of mankind’s sin.
Two words I hear bandied are racist and bully,
I wonder if many grasp their meaning fully.
Or do they just fit the narrative which they allege,
Some spend each day attempting to drive this wedge.
Social media allows speech not said face to face,
This cowardly behavior is an outright disgrace.
Some nitpick and whine over words in a speech,
Indoctrinating minds with things we can’t unteach.
“what is morally wrong cannot be politically right”
William Gladstone
Kindergarten logic twists narrative indoctrinating the young
in how to tell their parents to behave at home
threatening such behaviour turns against family values
in favour of this one sided view that alters the truth

I know you’ve been looking for me/
I’ve been looking for you/
Can’t stay off the GRID/
In the game you can see the bugs in the Glitch/
The Matrix reloading, Reloaded/
The Matrix system constructed us how to LIVE/
THEY LIVE!!!!!!! We live as SLAVES In the Land Of the FREE/
In bondage Home Of The Slaves/

Man Kind Cowards are Kings/
Zion needs me but who will love me and rage against the Machines/
Die and Bleed The Truth/

Banging on the devils door while THEY HIDE AND SCREAM/
Agents Everywhere listening on the phone gangstalked targeted tracked/
The god of this world the devil in his own experimenting Lab/
It’s a PROJECT We like MICE/
Torn down the Projects Monopoly Gentrification is the Game of Life/
Up Goes the Price/
Why do we have to pay to LIVE?
The Natural Resources Of The Earth were not created by MAN/

HAVE WE LEARNED ANYTHING AT ALL
Have we learned anything at all?
Pride goeth before a fall.
The ones before us had a cause,
Laying down their lives for America’s flaws.
Yet for justice we still are jailed.
When our so called justice system fail.
It's not about the color of the skin,
Humanity’s the skin that we're all in.
Shall we stand by without a sound,
while our rights are driven to the ground.
For Heaven sake, let’s make some noise,
There's more to lose than just our poise.
Our youth are slain and dignity stripped,
We fold our hands and bite our lip.
Instead of lessons from a text book,
Philosophies dictated, our flag forsook
Indoctrinating our youth in public schools,
In the name of wayward political views.
Hatred and divisions among us sown,
America's wars within, destroying her own.
Have we not learned anything at all.
Together we stand and divided we fall.
Monsters in the Room
I’m looking in the mirror
what do I truly see?
Prototypes and models,
of different persons
living inside of me.
I want to rid my mind
of the trauma in my soul.
Things and differences
preventing me
from ever being whole.
A lifetime as a slave,
indoctrinating my brain.
Fear and deception,
given magnitude
and too much fame.
Watching others in society
routinely playing the game.
People watching is tragic
as it magnifies
the retrospective blame.
Why cannot man appreciate,
a woman, a child, the person.
Instead of skin, religion and race
or the true value of
humanity by its name.
We live as a society
with monsters in the room.
Often the only remedy
is a total reset
with the strike
of a broom.

Destroying liberty
takes away all self respecting good
Indoctrinating children into false beliefs
positions of power overturning values
Removing the way of the cross
from teachings underhanded acts
displayed against peace creates division
Replacing it with false doctrine
Shame I say on our state bodies
Unholy are the ways of pride
blind bats of envy filled with greed kills soul's
With your riches obtained by lies and deception
hidden by corrupt lawmakers the truth reveals
secrets a dark side yet to be addressed and policed
Heritics against the temple of our Lord's words
all the virtues of heaven are being removed
slowly as morals are the twisted visions
against a familie's respect and true guardianship
views on rearing has now come with a controlled status tag
Spear of destiny
I will kneel to serve you only
I pray for the white horsemen to come back
and cleanse this world of its sickness
that plagues our future generations
through ugliness lust holds position over truth
When peeling a roasted peanut take great care. It is often said to be the beginning if a shell cracks. It is to release. To exact the tension thus administering justice in panned out wisdom cups of cloven joo. A moo can be very intelligent for it can form a six mile circle which a wheel cannot break. Eating and playing doesn't show respect for edibles. But gardening is wise to pull out the weeds in the mind. Creating calmness calling calm. Causing cakes colliding clapping chaos. Chapters in chapels. And a big bap balanced. Gifted are fifty foot breasts on legs who arrive in mini dresses. Now all singing "puck peck baa puck peck baa hugh heeled moo in a very fast car". Tis merely the rhythmic essences then. Ostriches swim in lakes in the moon whilst goats can dive off planets.

The Cross
Deaths solace, silence harsh words of fears unknown
dread not the reaper
unwelcome cross, mark not my threshold
belief shall grant no safe passage
condemned self righteous, what right to steal souls?
In whose name is derision doled?
contemptuous harbinger of tidings best left unspoken
thus spake Zarathustra, eternal recurrence
indoctrinating endless opportunity
offer up the gift to those who see and have seen
antiquity replaced by stigmata.
Stoic
Blinded by desensitisation
So used to what is not and what is so good
Yet so detached from what is real or illusion
Makes you follow a false idol
Perpetuate the confusion
The fools pinnacle of culture
Where the unicorn becomes a vulture
By selling lies in schools
Indoctrinating elitist rules
Making us all fools
Rich for the picking
Slaves for life without even realising
Born into bondage
Forever the consumer
Forever the worker
Forever the slave
The shackles of culture.
Staid by sweet suggestion
and guileless of mounting truth,
this fellow suffering ~ remorse
is played upon ~ uncouth!
The goading fills my pastime
no more the anvil's muse,
but lawless, hastened by-line
indoctrinating lose!
My stand is only wait ~ Thine
Oh cherished friend removed,
what keeps thy prison recline,
what keeps my prayer from proved!
Oh action, I am inclined
to fade ~ helpless, aloof,
while victimizing bends stine,
and drinks my scant reprove!
The cruel heart ~ the grapevine
of melancholy's move
has decimated true pine
of love in newness groove!
Would think my soul were resting on some stair
of guesting that my vision were compare.
Just testing fate, my only choice were there
and that gone by indoctrinating fare.
I could not rest, if not encumbrance share
and that small scaffolding of hope called care
were in my power and in thy need, not bear -
inquesting space and time were my impair.
No consequence define but that abreast
of wanting thee - I gamely foul duress
for its attempt to muddle thee, and so arrest
does stop some aggravation - I am blessed.
To stop thy hurt - I pray for some ingress
that memories prohibit not, nor stress,
some lightness of encounter, some address
that leaves thee willful, strong, and so congress -
I love thee - that my entities undress
would keep thee truly whole, in God's pure rest!
