Premium Member Pirates Without Ships
Beware of pirates without a ship
like rebels without a transportive WinWin cooperative cause,
like ego-politicians without sacred ecological-economic portfolios.

and choose not to communicate disvalues
is by how and where and...

The Slave's Tale: Revenge
Exracted from Gerald Nforche's Epic, The Slave's Tale


-Across the Atlantic, 1793-

And as days tumbled away, we staggered
Along, knock-kneed, dead beat and haggard.
Our bodies singing to the tune of the whip
Whizzing on morsels of flesh, so...

A Magical Tour
I got a curse
A witch appeared
And made me small

When I was wandering
A big ant hauled me
to an ant's colony

A pile of rice, chunks of meats
Tons of sugar pieces and shelves of sweets,
 I discerned there

Hoarding...

Everything Is Not As It Seems
Back in '63,
I remember vividly,
only 6 years old,
and watching our
black and white tv,
showing Lee Harvey Oswald
being escorted down the hall,
handcuffed and under arrest,
when out of the blue
Jack Ruby walks up and
shoots him in the chest,
I...

An endangered species, living on a ledge,
100 seconds to Midnight, then over the edge,
Nearest to Doomsday, humans have ever been,
Vaporised! inside mushrooms of boiling hot steam.

Casually go about our business, without a care,
While the Sword...

Lunatics On the Loose
Stomach reaped wide open,
intestine and liver exposed,
Man becomes guinea pig for the slaughter,
A lunatic on the loose.

Premature deflowering even before her prime,
Eight years old girl raped,
A savage on the loose.

Able bodied men and women caged,

The Black Powder Blitz
Once upon a time... a child celebrated
Colorful lights of Crackers...
Fluorescence of Fireworks.
The black powder bonfires in sky 
Illuminated  his darkness ..
Sprinkling showers of acoustic pops.

Demons ignited black powder to enslave his mind.

as she struggles to breathe

My memories of you were never really lost

Though fading more in every season's turn 

But I’ve found at last the nook in which they hide

Deep down in forgotten quarters of my mind

In a spark my...

But When the World?
He told her not to move,
Though fear showed in her eyes
She dare not disobey.
So the lonely figure 
Stood and waited,
While tears fell

Time stretched,
Her pitiful cries 
Grew louder,
 Until they carried     
To...

Howard
I watched Howard 
Lose control
As the rest of the students stared in awe
They had never seen such anger; such passion
Coming from the sockets 
Of a young man's eyes
He was quiet every day
He got poor grades
But...

To go on our victory dance one step at a time
For peacefully unifying the...
