Premium Member Gun shots ring out

In the street  people scream and shout then Bang bang a shot rings out

Dead on the ground lies an innocent child
Murdered in a country that's gone wild

Protesters in masks  their faces they hide 
Shouting about a genocide 

They say that the Protest are peaceful and they just scream and shout 

So why do they celebrate when the gun shots  ring out.

Our government are afraid of these people and let the violence persist 

And if we speak out against them we are labelled as racist 

We can not fly our flag or they are ripped down and taken away

And arrested for what we write on social media for the things we say

Freedom of speech is not permitted and you cannot pray in your head

But the worst thing is to speak out against 
Them you just might end up Dead.

GOD SEES GOD KNOWS GOD CARES

human and sex trafficking 
acts of genocide 
discrimination, racism spreading 
far and wide 
basic human rights constantly violated 
but that's not the world my God created 

the Omnipotent Omniscient 
Omnipresent God 
who for us 
has much love in His heart 
for God sees, God knows 
and God cares 
His grace and mercy extended 
to everyone everywhere 

past sins are shattered 
by God's grace 
for we're never utterly cast down 
In disgrace 
yes we mess up 
again and again
but God looks beyond our faults 
and us He amends

the Omnipotent Omniscient 
Omnipresent God 
who for us 
has much love in His heart 
for God sees God knows 
and God cares 
His grace and mercy extended 
to everyone everywhere 

God examines hearts 
He searches within 
He does not hold us hostage 
for our past sins 
A powerful all knowing God 
who is everywhere 
loves us unconditionally 
He sees He knows 
and yes He cares 

So let go of acts of evil 
come with unwavering brotherly love 
simply remember we're all covered 
by the sacrificial blood 

my Omnipotent Omniscient 
Omnipresent God 
who for us has much love in His heart 
for God sees God knows 
and God' cares 
His grace and mercy extended 
to everyone everywhere 

My Omnipotent Omniscient 
Omnipresent God 
who for us has much love In His heart 
For God sees God knows 
and God cares 
His grace and mercy extended 
to everyone everywhere 

the Omnipotent Omniscient 
Omnipresent God 
who for us has much love in His heart 
for God sees God knows 
and yes God does cares
His grace and mercy extended
to everyone everywhere

Premium Member A Palestinian Genocide

Another American Colony
poisoned with venom and hate
Consumed by the world’s great religions
apparently, this was its fate

The Palestine homeland was stolen
by the powerful in our world
They took it and gave it to others
named it Israel, a new flag unfurled
Then created a thing they call AIPAC
for the funneling of funds every year
Take American taxpayer dollars
with each bomb that is dropped, they all cheer

The Parties all do it together
Jews and gentiles sign-off on the funds
Together with makers of weapons
we all pay for the bullets and guns
America’s funding a genocide
our Senators and Reps have no shame
As the people pay all of the taxes
together we share all the blame

Netanyahu, a villain and killer
has a bank that’s called US of A
Anytime that he wants to kill Gazans
AIPAC’s ready with money to play
As for Schumer, he has in his pocket
Booker, Jeffries and Torres and more
It is why he keeps running for office
to keep Israel funded for war

Now the Trumps plan a new Riviera
by Republicans they will be led 
With American taxpayer money
they will build it on all of the dead

Premium Member Freedom

Freedom is a word of refuge
for those in power
it languishes on the horizon
like a star you can't touch
desired and beautiful in its glorious glow
it manifests itself in the mind and heart
as a golden treasure
yet,
shabby and torn
like a wishful dream, that's never found
by those whose bodies are trampled
and left by the wayside
whether it is through genocide
or slavery
as payment for even breathing in its air
never to know its tender touch
Freedom has two worlds
separate and apart
yet, joined
one of light, one of dark
how freedom is seen or felt
depends on which of its realms
you live in

Chieftains of the Land

The dim past houses warriors of yesterday
whose  lachrymose trail of tears 
continue to whet the sympathy of one diehard
dilettante commissar born and bred
upon the soil those indigenous Tribes 
(with that ill-fitting misnomer of noble savages)
left their legendary mythic and epic legions of prowess
yet fell prey to a mightier force
whereby treasonous treaties played on innocence and naiveté 
interestingly and ironically enough memorializing such mighty peoples
thru place names and sports teams
which patronage ranks as mere condescension
and barely compensates for compensation and vindication 
for genocide plus gross mistreatment and sacrilege
of token Native American remnants
corralled on dirt poor reservations
still evoking the tormented ghosts of a forgotten time.

Premium Member The Holy Land

The Holy Land neath hammer blows -
           is this what Jesus prophesied:
when sad-sack’s hanged like mistletoes
           the sightless see a suicide;
when thousands fall like dominoes
           the blind deny it’s homicide;
when women fry in thermal throes
           the gents reject it’s femicide
when rockets slaughter embryos 
           the fools forget it’s feticide 
when children die and decompose
           the dullards doubt infanticide;
when bodies burn with afterglows
           no one concedes it’s genocide.
Whichever way the west wind blows
           leaves morals dangling, crucified…

Netanyahu we're coming for you


The tale of the sinister Prime Minister of Israel 

Latest eruption but your corruption will not avail

Wiles and guile on trial as does rile and defile

Knows if loses his job..without fail going to jail


Beyond the pale conned so can derail & impale

With war crimes of such scale no comeback trail

Lebanon carry on in his coffin will be the final nail 


Political suicide Persian incursion Gaza genocide

Should be tried lied about Iran as folks fried died

Benjy the truth denied said plied with Israeli pride

Ghoulish prankster & foolish gangster can't hide

Missiles flied but hard as he's tried end of the ride


All did begin with Benjamin chagrin making a din

But his entire liar empire on fire torched from within

Every debauched sin held to account no more spin

No matter colour of skin Zionist zealot plot must bin 

Burn Benjy burn return to concern about kindred & kin


The Netanyahu retinue in full view cannot continue 

What will he do well facts & pacts will skew & slew

Vicious acts hate does imbue pernicious plans pursue

Will still spew discerning they're now turning the screw 

Critics form a queue too late your fate coming for you


Will rue the wars he does renew well let him fret and stew

Always biffing and tiffing like he's been sniffing some glue

Because boo hoo after another boo-boo you're in poo

Phew and about time too..

Wrote This Before They Finally Realized

Christopher Colombus- Celebrating Genocide

You stepped foot on the birth canal of my ancestors,
pure, sacred, loved.
you smiled.. proceeded with greed.
your civilization like disease.
my people soon were infected
your protest to "civilize" a free nation took flight on the wings of a lie.
you told us were sent by a god.
this god, we wondered, why did he send you to destroy us?
haven't you said he was holy?
haven't you said he was your creator like tunkasila was ours?
yet you take his name and use it for power.
you believe in your great father and all that he says is right,
does he teach you genocide? massacre?
your attempt to destroy a humble people's heart failed.
although you have spilled the blood of my ancestors and forced your beliefs in front of ours
my blood flows far.
i have descended from struggles and will persevere through the desolate world you have created.
while americans celebrate your name,
i believe it is an injustice.
for they too, live in lies.
Not i. Not i who was beaten, belittled, threatened, torn, cursed, stolen.
Oh no, not i. 
I stand in the land of my people as Oglala Lakota, proud, humble and heavy hearted.
for the day has yet to come where our home,
mother earth, will be reconnected with the many souls that harvested it,
loved it and praised it in thankfulness and with all honesty.
Christopher Columbus,
on the day your name is celebrated for taking our home,
i hang my head,
in my many days...
your day has never been and will never be,
 a good day to die.

 -Isabelle Brave Heart, Oglala Lakota

Genocidal Survivors

They call me Brave Heart
Not because of my courage but because it is my last name
And not because I "like" Mel Gibson that much but because it is 
how I was raised.
Half black and native girl raised on the Reservation
With the beautiful people of The Oglala Lakota Nation.
Two times their tone
as a dark girl among Natives I was taught to hold my own.
You see it is the two worlds that brought me light
And it is my last name that gives me the strength to fight. 
They call me Brave Heart
Like the beat of a drum 
And the hold of a knot, my destiny cannot be undone.
High centered in between
A mixture of African decent and Indigenous being.
I see the greater picture
And I write the words to my own scripture.
I feel the power of my ancestors blood through my veins
And I scream out their existence in my last name. LILILILILILI
I was shackled and beaten as my African mothers
And I share in the pain of the slave trade with my sisters and brothers
Our truths will prevail through HIStory,
And we will restore our Ancestors glory.
They call me Brave Heart
But my skin and biracial split aren't what separate me from the rest
I just know that born into this life I am blessed
I am grateful for those who fought for me and our bloodline to pull through
And I am here today to fight for them too.
You cannot defeat those who are not afraid to die,
And you cannot fool those who see through lies.
Although we were hit with everything from slavery to genocide
they could still never kill Our Native and Black pride.
We know exactly who we are
Because the blood in us proves our ancestors pushed us far.
It is not over for us
We have refilled our cup,
So no matter how much you knock us down we will 
Stand back up.
They call us Brave Hearts.


Akiza - a war cry used to celebrate the spirit of our ancestors and their fight- LILILILILI

Premium Member Ode to Leonard Cohen

An unsavory man from Montreal
squatted in  dim lit cafes
writing of the pain of love
a charlatan
he was the darker lovely dove
he inhaled the smoke of Satan
he sang to the devils army
purist of evil
his grave a urinal
to be used, over and over
his words knelt like prayers
and rose like knives.

Thinning morals
he possesses zero virtue
just a shadow
of the fires down below
he sings for the child killers
the thieves and robbers of the land
he chants of love, he means rape
for those not of his blend
his wishes burnt under 
hidden flames of hostility

He may dress in rags
he may play the victim
in the end though
he will burn your flesh
a sacrifice
then he will call you his fool
he sang for genocide
not for the goyim half wit

Dead, he is dead
angels he will never see
