Premium Member The Plague
as the PROPHETS of profits, WE lead and WE’re fair

– silver yachts, pearly castles, cash (plenty to spare) –
with the world on OUR backs... ah! the burdens...

There are many en-tities. Narrative psychologist speak of living and telling

We played on all weather turf which was mud and a few sods of grass

Dribbled like Pele and Eusebio in old boot for that one killer pass

Sometimes
1/16/21


Pure silence or the sound of wind chimes
Willing to do anything to save their own hides
People still committing horrific crimes
During low and high tide
It's been one hell of a roller coaster ride
A whirlwind inside my...

Three Worlds, Three Prisons
I think about human freedom
I search for human liberty
I get none in human life
Humans have never carried 
Freedom and liberty in bags

In mother’s womb
Surely I see no freedom, no liberty!
In the womb- world humans;	
have eyes...

If Memory Is a Lie Then So Am I
Proust searched his brain for memories that 
made the man, could finally understand
that this changed him just by looking;
so he called himself a sentimental realist!

many a prisoner, in walls cast of shadows,
have escaped their fate...

Americanisation
Manipulations, misrepresentations and government violations,
America has been terrorising for many generations.
Spying allegations, secret conversations,
US imperialism continues to destroy nations.
Cheers and celebrations for leader’s assassinations,
Activists disliked for anti-war demonstrations.
Iraqi invasions, Strategic implications,
Lies and propaganda from bias...

Restrained with bands of leather, bound and rigid in the chair, 

the feeding tube thrust lower, every inch brings fresh despair, 

gagging, coughing, choking on the burn from nose to chest

What a bad experience in Guantanamo Bay
Being called Insane
Then guess what friends
It started again

I’m walking passed the bank
Stopped, lit my cigarette with my gun lighter and had a smoke
Decided I’d pop in to check my...

If there comes a day
when the preacher's politicians
control the state
Phinehas will rise from his grave
round up the gays
and send them down 
to Guantanamo Bay
to entertain the Muslims.
The Kingdom's minions 
will hammer in the heads
of our...
