Codons of Contempt: A Crime Against Empathy
We came not for conquest,
but for containment—
though conquest is what happens
when containment itches beneath the skin
like sulfur spores in a sealed lung.
They had the secret.
Not gold, not weapons, not prophecy—
but language that healed.
Real language—
not poetry,...

Left of our Climate
Enveloped in the essence of twilight's hue,
Where dreams collide and realities seem askew.
Let me take you on a flight,
where words dance and emotions ignite.
In the machinations of current climate,
of decency in sunset's deplete.
Scoffers of...

Chinese Arsenal
the Voice of a Shadowed Engineer
They speak of missiles,
as if war is still waged with fire.
But in the hush of midnight laboratories,
beneath the quartz veins of the Tianshan mountains,
we built something else—
not a weapon, but...

Evaporating promises
Diplomacy can be a fig leaf for surrender
A wolf agrees to postpone the dismember

Peacetime is what aggressors use it for.
Countries have interests, leaders have ambitions

Forgiveness
If it were to be foe, I could bear it; He was my friend;
Why should he betray me? In public that too; at the end;
I kept him aside like a bone separated from meat,
Avoided the...

An Optimistic Hope
Lying to myself,
I am determined and strong.
I’ve got to think clearly,
But I know I was wrong.
When the pain subsides,
It comes back in force.
I’ve got to see the future,
Let fate take its...

Terror-

When I thought of the terror
Once I sat engaged and freighting
Much I marveled the splendid scare
Deep into that darkness fearing
On that day my soul grew lonely
Once upon a midnight silent
I awoke and flung the deterrence

The Nature of Poetic Change
I aspire for a flight of magnificence
though the words at times reek of innocence.
Yet striving to create a renaissance
in form which will not require penitence.
I boast of overcoming pestilence
in manipulating verbal reticence
to overcome...

Dun Days
Dun days? Clouds above in greys?
Sapphire? Purple haze?
Deterrence, dessicate, cays.
Buildings on the raze.
World around in twilight.
Months ahead a-grim.
Heart within me, burn with fight!
Crater, have thy rim...
Ocean, boil. Intestines, roil.
Ignite, O my soil.
Lightning, fry. My music,...

Tread not on me, brother!
To live is to expand.
Deterrence! Slay the Other!
Cold core countermand!
Boots a-click-clack, cobblestone.

Our Times-Sign of the Times
Soon everything we know will rapidly be changed
Into an unfamiliar landscape and a worldwide shooting range
Guns pointing in every direction and at every town
No inspections will be allowed and best not show a frown

Nothing Uncommon
I am nothing and I am common
Does doing something new means a difference?
Becoming well known and uncommon
Perhaps an only lifetime were meant for deterrence
If we climb we will fall
No going about any other way

Purple Prickly Pear
Spirits of the woodland deep.
Gather, please, at gate.
Shadow, dark fire, through me seep!
Hummingbirds can hate!
Where the prickly pear was grown?
Deep beneath a lake.
Where the angry god was thrown?
Someone made mistake...
There to build, O pyramid!

Creation
I was born from silence
Beset compliance
I grew from violence
A whispered defiance
No more betrayal
No more assumption
Our fear has failed
But in destruction
Take a look at what you must become
The search for satisfaction is also loading the gun
Another...

Oh Ukraine
A sadness appears
on the face of a nation
as tears fall like rivers a’flow
Midst rubble and death
with dreams slowly shattered,
where blood coats the fields draped in snow
So gallant they stand
to the war machine charging,
a serpent of...

Stopping Time

Able to freeze what's happening at that given time.
Everything seen and heard in the course of a day.

Treason
Between each heart beat
Lies a reason
For any man
To commit to treason..
Any random thought
Without deterrence
Is a scandal brought
On by its occurrence
A fatal flaw
Born of consequences
With such a draw
That it numbs the senses
Momentary gain
Without direction
Will just end...
