The summer is over and people are getting viler
The sky is overcast and the birds are flying around
It feels like a stranger has just entered the town.

Then I would have taken the...

Here I am again waiting for it to rain
Here I am again waiting to board the plane
I have been searching for the moon
But it is nowhere to be found
It seems as if it is buried...

Here I am waiting, 
Still waiting to cross over
Here I am waiting with hope in my hand

My heart is a little heavy 
And I am not happy...

Because my spirit did not go astray

Harshly contained people of the next band,
Not down bent, but all lying in quite strait.

Weeping itself  the tears does not disband,
And pain which finds in eyes...

Waiting, waiting for you to come

And the will that...

All type of bodies are posing in front of me
All type of bodies are trying to attract me
Big bodies, round bodies, plump bodies
Rhythm-less body with no shape
Walking aimlessly around the place

I stand amidst the crowd watching them walking about
I really don’t feel like talking so I moved away from them
And listen to my silent thoughts...

I remember back to Michael Brown,
though it now seems so damn long ago,
He was just minding his own business,

Murdered in cold blood for being black,
the man had even thrown up...

Otto`s life is not

sickular motto
Grue is his banner
left by his
blue-eyed Brit mom
left long by one of
those hated South

His guilty pleasures

no recognition like
many such Aussies in
mulberry bushes
Yet he shovels the

Climate change
does nearly
but not neatly cover up
discomforting complexities
of losing polyculturally rich ecosystems
like transportive air and water
and sacred communion
of sovereign feasting nations

Not really dealing with unresolved issues

annual cycling...

Many years of mould in the making,
Existing, not living but constantly shaking,
Extreme, traumatic disorder, damage,
Within one, ongoing personal ravage.

Where, which way, should or how to go,
A constant in mind with no real show,
Who was or...

Only on his palm were cowries
And thread-cloaked bullhorn found.
Only on his neck we found 
The  coral beads of truth and courage.
Only on  his hands lies the
Pearl of selflessness and 
Emblem of  Pedantry.

Not matter how many this fib have told,
They certainly aren’t slimy, but only cold

Clasping the bed linen

The old woman gasped for breath

And pleaded air to enter into her nostrils

She beseeched before the heavens

To pump back health into her

She sensed the fear of her heart

Embroiled in a war between...

Not so long ago your heart was irreparably broken
You didn’t want to hear his name spoken
Your misery was so all-consuming -
And you were full of dooming and glooming -
That the threat of self-harm was bandied...

Belief in The Universal Entity
 
And was mankind created to dream for no reason
Locked in an awareness

What we sense through this body
Is only an impression
Of the energy field
Created between each and every single atom
