The world that unfolds before me is unknown, but for some reason it is mine. Yes.
Anyone could say that my life is monotonous. But not. I protest. This is not true. Only mine.
No one just...

The Truth Of This Magnitude”

Obstinate defiance from an indignant child 
Consummate reliance on the spirit of the Wild 

Intricate compositions of meticulous art 
A syndicate of derision that is waiting to depart 

The honorary commemoration...

The Square Root of Beiruit 
 
Ten men bending while theyre pretending to be near the ending
A capitalist nightmare glares like rotten fruit
The squate root of Beiruit
No it isn’t fair, so they’ll start to loot
 
The soldiers are...

It hands enormous tax cuts to the rich...

Am I a waiter or a warrior, a visionary, or wall watcher?
Am I a strategist or fighting activist?

Sometimes, I feel that I'm just a nesting dove.
Perhaps at any given season, I'm all the above.

If we...

At dusk, a brilliant western panorama
displayed off our seventh floor balcony.
Fluorescent colors, clouds of fuchsia, amber,
yummy yellow golden glazes across the sky.
So spectacularly spanning sentient space
a show of shows of unearthly grace.
Looming large clouds block...

Standing reverent in a dull cast mist
glazing my cheeks while prayers were said
so silent stood at Rand's memorial
My mind dashed to the self-drawn sketch
he staged as "The Youthful Raconteur";
profile, pipe, wavy cinema legend hair -
his...

We play in the streets shaded of grey
We sing and dance but in the saddest of ways
Duplessis turned us into little clowns
In boarding houses of very strange towns

Our mothers cried, we heard them we did
Crying...

Raise your voice aloud 
And echo that which taints your heart
The days of the chain are laid to rest 
And the closed eyes are made opened


In your order, our light is made to shine
With the...

Water

To obey no law, but gravities very 
own and harbor so much life; so 
much death.
Power in every ounce to sway to an 
unheard rhythm danced by only 
streams, 
lakes and rivers. Yes they feel...

DOMESTICATED  ANIMALS


Our friends, Animals, 
Your name from the Greek word
“Anemos” comes,
That  Anaximenes, the wise of old, 
The divine wind, that sustains the
Universe, named,
Which with every breath, the lugs of 
Living beings fills 
All...

Testing times beneath the grey sky
Where in despair I cry
Forever asking why

Priceless prizes that in my life draw near
My outstretched hand so eager
Alongside trumpets so clear

Long ago tore the dream
I held so dear in a...

Scattering spellbound in search of this utopia
Minds-eye in shortfall dissects one's monopoly
Through no choice of own approach it sloppily,
Exude to a position such promised, Ethiopia-

As the diminishing dream on landscapes ensemble  
The probate illusion...

Pieced together
Blood, bone and brain
With another’s parts
Senses bring sparks
Of imagination, inspiration
Insight into the heart
Who is not Frankenstein’s
But his best friend 
And confidant

Pieced together
Naked skin so tender
Silencing the thoughts
Of a heart who is caught
In remembrances of...

  ...So vain,  as it pumps through vein
Sorrow seeps in the morning mourning

What I see is cold and sightless
All I feel is lost inside this
I can’t remember why it left me

The crater of pragmatic world.
Burden of having systolic soul.
Time has the enigma to manoeuvre 
you leeward and wee-ward.
Space has the power to breed unbreakable emotion.
Justifying the irrational behaviour is like 
contaminating bruised sanity.
Pacify the thought...
