Long Gloss over Poems

Prisoner of the Matrix loaded
Prisoner of the matrix loaded

Cattle within the herd
cages within the slaughter
Profiteers prey upon the wounded
Branded comodified beings consumed
In consumption
Led to the plunder of themselves
Within the plotted grids of bondaged earth

Still between...

Those warts and mistakes
get Photoshop casting couch edited away
Baby Jane rude attitude don’t make...

The water gentle and still
Silent and calm
The sun setting nearby
I sit here with you. 
The sand sprawled messily for miles
And you and me among them

expect some relevance to date created
to say "ahh, just before they died" or "oh,...

Surrounded by souls but my mate is nowhere in sight.

She removes her hands from her face
to reveal harlequin  tears
strolling down salt colored cheeks
that glare with a thin layer of blush.
Green eyes gloss over
and pour out in public.

Her boyfriend carries on.
He laughs and he...

There he stood with his painted face;
All focused on the bright colours that he wore.
No one saw his eyes (they were out of place),
Why should they? That's not what they had paid to see.

A cold, silver knife
rests on my shaking fingers.
I graze the blade across my life;
the slicing of it lingers.
I push the metal through my skin,
right to my chest, it cuts.
I have to let the blade in,

Balance wheel spool spin and stitch regulator to their master’s instruction

For the shadow of death comes closely after humankind
though no one ever saw the face behind the mask, humankind,
from the unclear expression and vague outline of the mask,

Take society’s attitude
Towards indifference as given
Although women abhor gratitude
For societal foibles forgiven

In the face of the Christian faith
That burns within a woman’s soul
When Providence breath
Scores a salutary goal

In consonance with the motto
One cheek slapped, the...

Happy Birthday USA
But the short and long of it
Political correctness, sungay- pungay -
America for short, United States in it

Celebrate on July 4th
And I have lived & lived that too
God bless America!...

Miming is painful for the little girl
So that her eyes moves to the rhythm of xenoglossy- Silence

I know will never fly,
Crumple them after
And I'm missing 
The basket every time,
I'd say I'm off center;

Something is off kilter,
She is gone,
Killed her heart
Driven to suicide,
Soul...

If you need to endorse your prerogatives in life

Nothing positive about the future to write 
The future seems shite
