On the canvas of a cold, grey, winter sky,
In large black letters above the Iron Gate,
Read the message: "Arbeit Macht Frei".
A shrewdly sinister, propagandist lie,
Designed to deceive all of our eventual fate.
This was the very...

Zeitgeist
competing cousins, interbreeding homo-sapiens
hominins humming mostly human song
altruistic generalisers, ever close to dying ways
opportunistic, never staying long
self-aware, inquisitive, enlarging brains, empathising

Comfort In a Cookie
I swear there’s no heaven
I’m just twenty seven
Two toddlers, never married
Two fathers, my life far too harried

And a shopping list
Of grievances
America wake up
It´s me and I...
