Long Dictated Poems

De Tod Motet//
Listen to my raw//
Observe my new law//
Innocent quench hunger waves//
With my black rhymes//
We are reaching the last days they say//
Be with me in soul and everyday//
Because i see dogs piercing sharp emotions to...

/by Vicki Acquah


Before, when we were young; 
We were together all of us.. 
Awhile back when you were young,
I was youthfully older-We were
together back then as space and time 
had arranged.

As some of us were...

THE CHAMELEONS
by
JOHN M. ARRIBAS


Give credit to the chameleons, they blend right in 
A simple maneuver, changes the color of their skin

The telescreens hummed their endless drone, 
A symphony of truth alone, 
Dictated, printed, beamed so wide,

In tiered stacks of stories... free to see? 

Woven from far time to now, in soft open volumes bound 
Waiting for thoughts lost, but Wow... now...

Mine courtship with deadly obsession(s)
still indelibly scored within 
windmills of my mind
this July 22nd, 2020.

Imagine yours truly post pubescence

all that life in front of me
argh... precious time squandered
abustle with rattle...

In the depths of the translucent dusk,
I think of the dream of our independence, now a distant echo,
For the era in which we were masters of our own fate has faded,
And we awaken to find...

Truth is Peace - or it would be.. 

Someone once told me
that truth was only
'in the eye of the beholder'

Truth is - as truth is agreed upon
society calls this then  
its truths - of...

In the twilight of thought, where shadows weave endless night stories,
We wander through the labyrinths of time, seeking meaning in the stardust of our existence,
Haunted by the whispers of mortality, a specter born from human...

I’m a boy living in a country where
We get emotional over every government move
And every government move is chartered over our emotions
Emotions are chastised whether it or let be
One trying to correct the wrong,
But nay,...

Your mother didn't know how to make a child,
she triggered her nature. Mother nature knew,
and she knows and will always know 
how to turn a seed into a child.
Bit by bit assembles life,

Annul the nation, 
Annulation of the situation,
Feed our egos with propaganda and lies,
Numb the souls, Occupy the minds,
Distraction from living our lives,
Specified time for us to go outside,

Adaption didn’t pose a problem
Normalizing the lack of...

Scene 1 (years earlier)

Years of indecision 
Ended in an instant 
My life in third revision

Youthful temptress, aging oracle,
Nymph-like debacle, Gorgon spectacle,
Retreat from retribution’s precipice,
And a transient victory wrought by avarice,
To listen to a parable
Devoid of the empirical.

Several centuries ago in the land of the Saracen,
You were born to a...

so God should look like a man

But then it...

Out of the golden gates,
there rode mounted knights of the king's guard,
To the left flank and the right flank they formed ranks,
the infantry as the centre,
The infantry still forming, shining no more were they,
