Premium Member Imagine

Imagine all the people
who trade in human life,
imagine all the reasons
given to this particular vice.
I visualize the rivers
that run with coagulated blood,
I visualize the tyrant
that stir the waters good!

Imagine all the evil
where nightmares are conceived,
imagine all the weepers
locked in harmony.
I visualize a great peace
when man is down and out,
I visualize a yearning
to stir up warring lout!

Imagine all the carrion
fleeing this earthly scroll,
imagine all the zombies
them humans without soul.
I visualize the populous
with only one track mind,
I visualize the despotic master
not too far behind!

Imagine all the wrongdoers
that wait for the morrow,
imagine all the innocent
with aggravated sorrow.
I visualize his disciples
locked in earthly battle,
I visualize all intellect
smitten with ancient prattle!

Imagine all the dreamers
that dream in psycho colours,
imagine all the dead ones
John Lennon and others.
I visualize the sky
that reflect the sombre waters,
I visualize the time
they’ll be no virgin daughters!

Imagine all the children
born with colour blindness,
imagine all the peace
driven by human kindness.
I visualize a new order
maybe for the best?
I visualize the establishment
being put to the test!

Imagine all the people
with lives of eternal bliss,
imagine all the barriers
created when living with this.
I visualize heaven here
in this heathen place,
I visualize the angel
in pure virgin white lace!

Imagine all the new born
scanner pattern at birth,
imagine all of today’s crime
eliminated through death.
I visualize a dossier
of PLC news speak,
I visualize authoritarianism
of every aspect!

Imagine all the cloning
created for human part,
imagine all the respect
donated to this particular art.
I visualize the unscrupulous
desperate for existence,
I visualize the farm of haste
the plough of insistence!

Imagine, Mother Shipton 
prophecies all came true,
imagine only one statement fails
the end of the world.
I visualize even then 
common sense will prevail.
I visualize only Jesus Christ
will forecast the ultimate end!

Premium Member Never Land Part 2

The alleyways within the maze are paved with rats and mice.

Evangelists with moneyed fists collect the sacrifice

from losers scorned and rubes reborn, and promise paradise,

while in the back they cook some crack, inhale, and roll the dice.



A bum called Boe has stubbed his toe, he’s stumbled in the gutter;

with broken neck, he looks a wreck, the sparrows all aflutter,

the passers-by, they close an eye, and turn their heads and mutter:

“Let’s pray for rains to wash the lanes, to clear away the clutter.”

A river slows neath mountain snows, and leaves begin to shudder.



Though rip-off shops and crooked cops are paid not once but thrice,

the painted girl with flaxen curl is paring down her price

and loosely tempts cold hands unkempt to touch the merchandise.

A crazy guy cries “where am I”, a schizo titters twice,

and double quick a lunatic affects a fight with lice.



The jungle teems, a siren screams, the air is filled with meth.

The Reverent Priest and nuns unleash the Holy Shibboleth.

And Righteous Jane who is insane, as well as Sister Beth,

while telling tales to no avail of everlasting death,

at least imbue Hagg Avenue with whisky on their breath.



The Reverent Priest combats the Beast, they’re kneeling down to prey,

to fight the truth with fang and tooth, to toil for yesterday,

to etch their mark within the dark, to paint their résumé

on shrouds and sheets which then completes the devil’s dossier.



Old dan, he's drunk and in a funk, all mired in the mud. 

A Monk begins to wash Dan’s sins, and asks “How are you, Bud?”

“I’m feeling pain and crying rain till soon there is a flood.

And no god’s there who seems to care I’m always coughing blood.”

The Monk, he turns, Dan’s words he spurns and lets the bible thud.



Well, Banjo Boy, he will annoy with jangled rhymes that fray:

“The clanging bells of carousels lead blind men’s minds astray

to rings of gold they’ll never hold in fingers made of clay.

But crest and crown will crumble down, when withered roots decay.”

The Perfectionist Is Listening

The Perfectionist is Listening

the rich are committing suicide
and taking us with them
the prosthetic limbed bastards
Fort Darwin tottering on fewer stilts
once the masters of the universe
presently picking through garbage
looking for an Icarus to pilot
some way back among the clouds
their telepathic goon squads 
armed with the hard on of God
squat in the darkness of doorways
lightning strikes all around
even their machines were clairvoyant
several thousand watts went up my leg
shorting out the only attention span I own
left me perforated but not lacy
wearing all my masks all the time 
fragments of self are selves
in a bulemic deconstruction
where form and content 
mud wrestle incessantly for attention
on the crazy train to 3 color hell
the protagonists the antagonists
fornicators masturbators liquidators
pariahs and unlicensed poets
preaching hellstone and brimfire
apparently the ancient gods still rule 
in their madhouse heaven
petulant and stupid gods 
thought their figures included all the angles
sword point conversions gun point perversions
now their carcasses are steppingstones
what quirk of an infinite being
makes this burning plague village 
of a planet so alone and necessary
of course none of this is protection
it's psywar out there kids 
better find where they hid your dossier
mesmerized of the world unite
you have nothing to lose
but your failed methods of addressing reality
said his twisting tongue
struggling for ratings like any media
the soul cannot erase it can only go sightless
a phantom trapped in melancholy
when we were built to dance 
with the twinkling stars
he finally learned to undestroy memory
being an ascended master of non sequitur
carried aloft in the arms of Mother Goose
his metabolic hurricane of why
an inferno of intrigue and superstition
our embryo-headed UFO ruling class 
have me inside their fence of skulls
an investment in diagram futures
the idiots

Just As She Was - a Tribute To Cicely Tyson

Just a wisp of a girl, dainty as a rose
Dark as the color of bitter-sweet cocoa
From her short hair to her perky nose
A black queen from the Big Apple’s ghetto

As a girl, she often sucked her fingers
Obtaining that infamous, toothy overbite
The memory of the dirty slums still lingers
So gracious, sweet, and habitually polite

She got pregnant at the age of seventeen
Yet, she pursued her dream to be an actress
Mama’s church girl, spiritually quarantined
She loved to model; her beauty was breathless

Why did we applaud her? Why do you ask me?
Her dossier was unmatched and acclaimed
Such an urban legend from our community
Much respect and props for her notable name

She began her career on the New York stage
Put her heart and soul into each role she played
Drank from the youth fountain didn’t look her age
In these glorious years, her career never decayed

“A Woman Called Moses”; don’t forget “Sounder!”
“The River Niger,” we won’t ever forget “Roots!”
A club for growing black actors, she was the founder
Presidential Medal of Freedom, she bore much fruit

“The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pitman” was fearless
Having a guest role in many Tyler Perry movies
With her prodigious acting, only she could harness
Held her nose when asked to play ratchet or a floozy

She scorched the earth for other black actresses
Angela Bassets and Viola Davis, to name a few
Never bad press or scandal as anyone’s mistress
When she passed away, still giving interviews

Her biography hit the streets, fresh off the press
Traveled to promote her school of Performing Arts
Still worked and spoke while impeccably dressed
My Lord did she not have a run, never a false start

You can’t tell it! So let me tell it; made “Just as I Am!”
Had a chance to tell HER story many she out-lived
Elegant, royal; she was worth the title of madam
Although so petite, Cicely's career was so massive

Sinister Side of Social Media Platforms

Though discriminatory asper discerning

a reliable trustworthy,
and valuable source to this rhyme
stir, who perused cover story, sans

January 28th, 2019 issue as prime
material to concoct
more serious than amusing
poem mindful not to spoil mealtime
sharing insightful ruses not so sublime
utilizing underhanded tactics that chime

with markedly innocuous discordant
undertones for longtime

garnering bajillion zeroes
after face value of dime

since text unable to display mime
relayed by this messenger,

who questions gravity of crime
head honcho blithely
involving selling personal data
thus affecting prospects of incipient wartime.

every keystroke action typed by me,
and everybody else linkedin into web
foregoes their life details free
for selling treasured binary binded bits we
bull leave tubby encrypted, yet algorithms

invested with secret electron size key
sophisticated to sniff out valuable trove
within every pixel typed into ever re:
screen of every Internet app pre
pair ring the equivalent

of voluminous dossier lee
ving nary a trace, yet data packets
more precious than fine spun gold,
invisible electronic bursts glee
fully swept up like nobody's business – see

ming to provide a wellspring
of many a cottage industry
similar to a pugilist on par with Muhammad Ali
generating revenue, and
driving profits with accessory

trinkets or gewgaws hyped up as de

whereat vendor (unbeknownst to patron) sells
vital transaction information to data broker he
or she obviously for a price - yes our SECURITY!


The White Silence

Seven minutes lingered, an interim of residue,
a trembling partition between continuance and conclusion.
The body rehearsed survival, a theatre of reflex and delay.
Then the stage went silent,
a horizon drawn flat, an axis without a pulse,
and the world sank into a white silence.

Afterward, an emergence.
Not awakening, but reclassification.
not darkness, but a chamber of neutrality,
where remnants of existence drifted in an ordered abyss.
No faces, only the abstraction of record:
gestures catalogued, errors weighed beside their opposites,
the arithmetic of a lifetime balanced without judgment.
No weeping, no pleading, just the hollow patience of cattle.

An attendant present neither stern nor merciful, only procedural,
spoke as if reading an inventory.
Then a designation was issued.
At first numerical, then nominal.
Identification persisted, even as the self no longer did.
The chamber resembled judgment,
yet nothing of judgment occurred.

Records lay in sequence: notations, erasures, marginalia.
"An account, not a verdict." The clerk read,
Errors and kindnesses balanced in two columns.

The result: Passable.
A new dossier appeared.
Families arranged in archival order,
faces attached for reference.

Instruction: Choose.

The choice was not preference, but compliance
the necessity of continuation.
From abstraction into assignment,
from absence into recurrence.
Thus the cycle proceeds:
not reward, not punishment, but iteration.

Existence drafted again,
not as consequence but as mechanism.
The soul does not inherit.
The soul does not stumble.
The soul is allocated, reinserted,
until the ledger of moral requires no more.

Should Be News Feed But Is Not



Government uses foreign gov-loophole 
and harlots by proxies geo-fence by proximity. 
Old bedfellow with Politicians and 3 letter agency, 
no surprise there. 
Garland and Wray want your push notifications 
to complete your dossier profile picture, 
wants FEMA camp for detention, el Permanente,  Draconian Fair for opposers no expense spared.

In this world of shadows and gray,
Find no solace in bad actors that fray, that "go there". Reward your California delusionals to higher Office. 
The cocaine White House likes your way, 
and cocaine and curriculum de orifices and cocaine 
(yes, I went there).
 Newsome; Your state has run out of U-Hauls to leave.
Maybe parents are tired of your oprn-wife stalking their children with innocence killer-materials or "The Hood" curriculum deputy of the Interior. You have the worst education results in the entire World, Pizza Steve! 
Maybe just this one addition/critique, add a syringe to the school/library books cover sleeve?  
You certainly are bold.
Your intent is obvious to me. 
You want Americans out, for China to No Vacancy. 
World's largest real estate broker, licensed by DNC.
 Most brilliant masterminds could not destroy 
what you destroyed, and they work for the DNC! 
That is why you are their candidate, confidentiality.
 "Despicable Me" may just use your exploits 
in their next movie. 
But Mayorkas, M-Vanilli, Garland, Biden and Cortez are still building their destruction resumes.
But watch out ! Biden has sold out our entire Country! Is that why you are running for President?!
Ah yes, I see. 
And you know what? This was supposed to be about Push Notifications and Warrants of Geo-Fencing !

The Baboon Dossier

The Baboon Dossier…….. By Peter Onyancha

The child laughed, blurred
There were little tears steaming
The mother Baboon; a signature smile
The story teller sustained –

The Dossier:

As I said, that was long ago
We were like them, yes
The humanbeings, with human things
We used to wear cloths; our skins were delicate
We struggled and caged ourselves in houses 
Even the feet cushioned with solace Shoes
We have come a long way.
Nature was alien, child

But how, mummy how 
An intelligent child; curiosity – distinction
How did we become today, mummy
Will they successfully walk naked?
Will they ever change, poor things!
(Evolution – child, from mother )
And stop the baggage of those cloths
And be free from fear; and become normal
Mummy, do they also think!

Child, you think too much
Mummy prevails; they are not as bad
In their homo-egosystem,  they are fine
You may not understand the science inside
Ours is ecosystem; theirs egosystem
 “Ego” and “Eco” is too much, child 
Ask your dad, when he climbs down
It takes millions of millions of time to develop
When they become us, we will be their histories

A Mercedes Benz with a flag – 
And another many other around it mill
Then land rover with humans dressed like the bush
Mummy, look, poor things

Child, Listen before we go up home
The flak you saw, flags the hope
These creatures, too, cherish some hope
The bush –like dressing is the vision
A future, where they shall be, Child
Where we are, Child

When you grow up, run but learn
The myths, the truths and the gem
You will note them, child
You will not then, chide!
