Long Fictions Poems

Self-pardoning rights of predators and pirates

yang ecopolitical strength of communal sight
from yin personal flow of sound,
resonant orthodox positive
and

Heard some noises of an unseen cart on other way
Which he mistook bone breaking, tearing, chopping,
Murmuring, rumbling, trembling sounds all around,
He was confused, fixed, feared and crying uttering
“Is...

Spiral like stairs leading us to the point;
Average wingedhipsters today more like
Displaced thugs. With no sense.
At every corner, we're speaking rigorous
Reminders.

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,

Normalizing the lack of...

No fads or "hocas-pocas,"
Occult tricks, nor superstitions,
Just go to Boot-Camp not institutions.

A life if convictions;
Real-life risks, no fictions,
In live with Father-God and...

Wordless worries wander wearily working wayward,

Welcome to the new millennium
Seven years in the making.
Forever forsaking.
Every year touted as the last one on earth
Yet we all know the worth
Of a dollar.
Holler if you hear someone knocking
On heavens door.

reference to the song
the person depicted
is quite vain,
she worsens when she's
needed to be best
