Truth is Peace or it would be
Truth is Peace - or it would be..

Shatter the Delusion
Shatter the Delusion


Enormity of lies
Creates infallible illusion
Humanity obeys unable to resist,
as though with some instinct of feigned rebellion,
were it ever really enough - for
Earth's previous bluest skies

And so unaware then naïveté persists,
And so, it sticks...

Covid Prelude to a Seminal Moment

Most Free thinkers ought then to agree,
that this 'Cabaal' has always been, 
Quite sophisticated, hidden 
Although very devious utterly, 

Yet openly subversive, 
With its insipid evil methodology..

Were Trump to return 
and Biden resign,.. 
Albeit though...

Returning with such abject force 
And strange yet ominous impact?

The Bitterest Pill
Generations of the entire world.. Once abided by a force fed conditioning, 
An indoctrination so deep, so vast and yet so hidden..,

For our obligatory fair questioning,

Essential Peace and Quiet in the World, Begins Firstly with Peace of Mind
The monkey mind within, is unremarkably in fact many things, 
Often constructive, fractured, although tormented, it silently harasses all of Earth's Human Beings, 

Basic awareness comes from making this distinction, to enable what will one...

An Invisible Dictatorship Subtle Tyranny and Mask To attentive Observers is now Slipping and Fast
Overture toward false Maritime Law,
Commercial illegality Certificate of Births,
What on Earth then are we really here for?
Is but one query in a desperate realm, a sea of illusion and neurotic mirth..

So Many Seduced by Rhythmic Pendulum of Trauma and Absurd Normalcy
Intelligent musical talent begins with this, to relearn the timing within our soul,
But other tactical psychological methods are busy swaying to and fro,
To an obvious yet nefarious covert Rhythmic tyranny of Mind Control,
Damaging trauma appears,...

Stillness in The Storm
Stillness in the Storm

It isn't too far from a conceivable image, 
To perceive the vast and forgotten knowledge;
What was and still is a, yet-lost tho recoverable innate and

We have merely been tricked to...

Dissolve the Ego
Dissolve the Ego

Like ready for life moulded souls, 
Trapped in flesh with mortal 
brand, 
Labelled with name, a social number, 
Yet with sanctioned control 
by hidden hand 

Not necessarily so, it isn't you,

On Earth Can Sanity Ever Prevail
It is really a veritable question of our time,
In fact - of all times,
on this once beautiful
molten rock with sea and sand,
We so avidly call our home
Paradoxical fearlessness
albeit so sublime, created by the dark force’s...

War For Our Souls
War for our souls

Inexplicable reason crying foul,
Final war for - the soul of man

The ironic scarcity of happiness

In your Eyes If it was not a whisper of a lost Tangible promise
The Reflection of light to.. 
A sanctimonious imposed Tyranny, 
A stifling Medical spellbinding idiocracy, 
Of a State Sanctioned Nihilism that couldn't stand the irony,

Our Impetuous gullibility

To want to control another man, 
As it was all only ever a part

We might then have had a different course..
