Thus Says He
Thus says He who guards the gate,
The atmosphere is stagnant,
Stagnant with discontented gluttons,
Tangled with tricks and deceptions,

IN THE DARKNESS OF IMPERIALISM
I was born in a banana republic,
Between the carnivorous chains of Françafrique,
In an open-air dumpster,
Where tyranny, barbarity, and savagery speak with arrogance.
I am perfumed with all the nauseating scents of misery.
I grew up under the...

Caressing the spirit with starlight glimpses
In the...

Despite what his words tell a friend

Nobly tending a body and mind bruised
