Military maneuvers,
conducted by starship troopers,
make a Lot of king Chedorlaomer noise

Earhole space
penetrated by the Pentagon puffing pace ... 
stealth sound of smoke signals
Warning drumbeat signs 
of an incoming, deadly drone invasion

Attack helicopters hover
over tempting topography...

The charade of porn
hostages of the blackmarket
never see them around
double d's head in the toilet
not sure if they too have been claimed a victom
or if we will ever see that pretty face again

Tricks and deception...

Who cares about the lie of peace making
to cover up greedy hands dirty for oil
The arms race that has been promoted
since the discovery of the gun
just more ammunition to kill ourselves with
leaving us asking what...

Death of Magic
No tears, no self-harm
No casting aside of ideals
That World of Magic existed
And was slain before me

Time marches inexorably
And the arms race of tech does so at a sprint
Born on the cusp of change
I was promised...

Blind Justice
They say we are free
yet the laws are governed by hypocrisy
doctrines by decree
dictating to you and me

Justice is blind 
and the gavel comes down
hidden in plain sight is 
the criminal justice system

such a fine line

End of the Arms Race

Seventeen minutes to midnight - the world enters a new era,

We've heard all about the stockpiling,
the toilet rolls, lettuce and beans,
but secretly more of this is going on
unnoticed, and behind the scenes.
The Government, in our best interests,
(which translates they take us for mugs)
have warehouses scattered...

It’s mission, monitor mankind’s behaviour, we’re impugned

By sending a huge asteroid, type that brought...

With that familiar sound
Of misinformation missed
Of god and holy bliss 
Of moments good and bad and people

And make it stick like cement to the roof of...

Dreamer
You may have some great ideas,
Feel like changing the world,
You’d like things to run your way
(Wouldn’t it be lovely if your dog’s tail were curled?)

You feel that there’s much, too much, war
And malnutrition and poverty...

Paradise
Earth is not like heaven at all
No meaning, no environment,
Every second screams: "Kill!"
And enters the arms race.

There is a war going on here and there,
And people hit each other hard,
Why is the war a mystery,
And...

Premium Member Arms Race
Arms, legs,
fists, feet,
beating chests;
teeth meet.

Stones, bones,
sharp-honed tusks,
poisoned darts;
obsidian clubs.

Slings, arrows,
outrageous bows,
black-edged flints;
sharp-pointed swords.

Red-glare rockets, 
gold knightly spears,
squat-humped cannons;
trebuchets.

Muskets, pistols,
bayonet rifles, 
spitting Maxims;
Tommy guns.

Gray battleships,
deep submarines,
articulated tanks;
V-ones, V-twos.

Experimental Zeppelins,
jet-fighter planes,
flying forts;
atomic bombs.

Poison gas,
Laser rays,
will it ever...

Chess Pieces
Chess pieces
By Michelle Morris
14/08/2021

We are like chess pieces, 
Being moved around the board;
Forever in play for political payoffs
For control of the world. 

Boundaries invisible, yet
Stark and obvious in place;
Keeping us apart by ambitions; 
Monetisation of...

Sympathy For Peace
Zionist

I don't invest,
in WAR...
I'm a pacifist...
For Arab 
as for any other people
being legalistic
without exclusivist predilection...
for peaceful solution
no arms race
calm conversation
harmonious division
brotherhood in view
without fatal pride, absolutist
sans  rejection, unhealthy, fatalistic
sans cruelty, dominist...
