Born To

Born to;

Born to rule

Born to die

Born to live

Born to cry

Born to reap

Born to sow 

Born to watch everybody grow

Born to see

Born to be blinded

Born to live free

Born to live confined 

Born to be sheep

Born to be slaughtered 

Born to cry wolf

Born to be martyred

Born to be experimented on

Born to be told not to go outside

Born to become vitamin deficient 

Born to grow sick

Born to go to the hospital 

Born to be diagnosed a hoax

Born to be injected with poison

Born to be silenced 

Born to be cultivated like numbers

Born to be put into concentration camps

Born to be told we’re not human

Born to fall victim of legal genocide
 
Born to stay quiet

Born to be told not to rise up

Born to be threatened prison, will be for those whom have a voice

Born to sleep weary 

Born to grow tired

Born to become vengeful
 
Born to hate the corrupt

Born to condemn the elite

Born to realize we were lied to

Born to understand we are the product

Born to know the product is costly 

Born to wake up to the idea that evil is apparent
 
Born to love but learn to hate

Born to know that Politian's never actually debate

Born to know this is all a lie. If you still think this is about a virus, then the wolf will eat you alive.

Doxologized

She had many sad stories,
they were filed away, labeled,
color coded;
tales presented as apocryphal bibles.

He would listen as she pulled them out
of her droning breast,
intoned then as if reciting
poetry to an acolyte sponge.

Her stories festered the air
with pitiful sorrows,
scratched yet more stigmata
upon hide-bound woes.

White paper moths would fly up to his eyes
as if to illustrate her narratives;
tissue thin, he would see within them
the many skeletons of her living ghosts,
bones free now of all minerality,
fish-wet and wriggling
in the gel of a long preserved plasma.

He often closed his ears
to make his lips numb. The nasal gnarl
of her broken voice
coated his tongue with sticky commiserations,
a jejune sympathy
that had the texture of mildewed goatskin.

Her words mechanically ticked off
every injustice and persecution
ever heaped upon a martyred mind.
Eventually though, her deep well of mopes
dried to a blubber of sighs.

Then all those emaciated moths
would flutter around her
anointing her echoing skull
with a seeping urine-like substance
she called love.

Eating Good In the Ghettohood

Life in the “Ghettohood” is finger licking good,
All souls in their folly keeps my coffers full and jolly
Anger hate and bigotry’s the best kind of energy.
Loud ruthless gangsters, young naughty pranksters;
Keeping up with the Kardashians, those vexed unholy citizens
A pleasure to see, their shiny gold turn to greed.
As Your strong wills yields to the thrill of the kill.
Awwwhhh Great Glory to me. My name will be history.

Oh the pride, the pride, the arrogantly foolish;
See your selfish lust fall victim to the lazy.
Be thy noble minds martyred violently crazy

Mmmm tasty, tasty, tasty ¬_ cakes and pies;
Delicious is the filling of steamy deceit and lies.
I savor the flavor of the strong, weak and old.
Don’t listen to the fables of those stories told!
I will suck the marrow from the bones of your babies;
Then tiptoe through the tulips, the roses and daisies.

For every time you lift a little finger of foe;
The energy of negativity helps me to grow.
Go on forget about me, I’m not so bad of a guy, 
You’re all on the menu, the bold and the shy.
I’m just a mere villainous vampire.
 Feasting till you completely expire.

Aye! The eating is marvelously good in every Ghettohood!

Trade Winds

Last call for alcohol, embargo 
              on the cargo headed for Fargo? 
                      Bootlegging articles of? 
                          "ConfederationNow", 
Boot logger, droned Over all? Foggered... Froggers, sprawled. Farms attacked by competing vows. ++
Blood drained Cows.

 
                              Imagine, Gaia hype- our brainwashing, a 
     sacrifice to a Paul Bunyan Nephilim type, "Savior" moonshining wormwood tea in exchange for Sheep. Believing them to be. Stoned blind in Texas, right wing. 

Liquid Media medicinals, points for eveyone West of, Diagonal the Allegheny, best of show, suggestion, 
             allegiant, allegory. (Oh...allegedly.)

                 As The King of the North fights zombies that believe the Game of Thrones just fantasy. Conspiracy_ Storytellers of propagandolf, minds of Sauron to keep 
                            eyes Wide-Shut. By Aristocracy.
To "pass" on the proof of those stoned blind in Texas, shekeled, bought, brought a Rose, of Sharon, 
from Ticked Karen's, in their own Eden. 
Those non-Citizens, 
"Christians of the un-Enlightened" l"unacy of Old', 
             thoughts? NoahmadicHeathens!

              Of the tide turning; going South. 
The dark side of the moon, 
       a journey scape of wet dreams in swoon. 
To partake the half empty side of drink. 
                         Salt of thirsts. 
             Cup of wrath of the Directional Winds. 
       A piracy bloodbath of Nationhood in martyred demarcation zones. 
    Cusp of swilling blood of the swill, 
    Apocalyptic feel, fills, 
    notes of the unveiling of the Whore who Rides the Beast on the Seven Seas. Leviathan is leavened, 
rising, ready to eat.

Now, there is censorship on speech on the internet, 
then is, when, is then en-Tyrely. 
The Gatekeepers at Fallens keep, 
keeping freedom, voices "Crying in the Wilderness"', 
Peeps out of reach. 
Accept for Government (entities) with algorithms, keyloggers, identity id thieves, imagers of the Beast. 
Spell binders binding 
their articles-of-New-World-Sourcery-Cheaping-Rumpelstiltskin-Seamstitchery-Tailoring-Truth- blinding-digital-mining-slaves for the Wolves, 
                Kings of the East, Trading Company.
             Trading souls for an hour with the Beast.

Small Forces

In the corner of the the house, outside
At the end of a long trail of cold, shut up windows 
There is a procession, a vigil kept through the night 
Beneath the notice of even the smallest branch 
Or the thoughts of a bird landing on a tree 
There is a band of brothers slaving for their home
Lining up as fine as thread
But chained together as if forged from steel 
Lifting broken leaves, a crumb of bread, a sugar crystal 
They're heaving cars, boulders, buildings 
Silently bearing their burden, they hold a torch for each other 
Tiny miracles in the night, performing feats of magic 
A struggle that defies ages past carries on- invisible 
All for their children they walk, martyred often 
While future generations of their families
Hang in the balance

Premium Member Three Nigerian Christians

June 2024, in Borno state, Nigeria,
three young Nigerian Christian men,
knelt with hands tied behind their backs,
under the fiery African sun.
Then shot dead into eternity by Islamic State
West Africa gunmen.

Rev Ibrahim Abako, secretary of the Yobe State
Chapter of the Christian Association of Nigeria
condemned the murders.
The martyred men of Christ,
with their King, their Savior.
Nigeria's Christians' blood on its landscape,
the hearts of those who pray.
Persecuted for serving the Lord.
His people around the world cry out,
the Lion of Judah roars for His
three more white-robed saints of His Kingdom. ~

Premium Member I Dreamt I Was Awake

Sleeping while awake, 
The sky before me split, 
Broken by a wisp of smoke 
Rising snake-like slow.
A black-stained tombstone 
Footprint, left upon 
An amber ashtray 
From a martyred cigarette.
A testament to children,
Born as smoke, 
Slender ash-white 
Silken strands 
Allowed to wander.
They step so lightly 
Into depths of air 
To slowly drown.
My pausing eyes 
Shift chameleon-like 
To ears
To hear a shifting feint 
Of chanting 
Seeping from 
A cracked church door
As ushers rush 
To break 
With only the cheapest
Of distractions: 
A breath of fresh air, 
Followed by a cigarette.   
Ahhh! Dreams. 

What they are, 
You are; 
What they are not, 
Cannot be.

Discarded

Queens flush both black and red
Walk inside kingdoms where seldom tread.
The blood on the spade from the dark-hearted
Spares no pain for the discarded.

Buried to the side no one sees
A Joker crying inside his conceit.
For in this game smiles are disregarded
The jovial man, now a clown, discarded.

Kings and Jacks rule over the Numbers
Unaware of such perilous slumber!
For their complacency they shall be martyred
Their blood and toil destroyed and discarded.

The High Ones stand in concert with stars
Above all, from God not so far.
With a stroke of chance be cast with the departed
Below the bottom of a grave, forever discarded.

Premium Member Sebastian Oliver

Gathered amongst the privileged ones 
And born into a trust fund life,
There was born to an arranged couple
A child they named Sebastian Oliver.

And though father and mother
Jockeyed for front page recognition, 
And sisters fared well in high society 
No amount invited this Sebastian Oliver.

The Cardinal red teemed with trophies 
And glamor,  his thoughts went to right and wrong
He vowed to break the cord, 
And fight the war never spoken of.
This boy, Sebastian Oliver. 

And it was on this one night solemn, 
In the rainy cold, that this entitled boy,
Made his stand for righteousness, 
This young Sebastian Oliver. 

The Avenue of glitter, he ambled down, 
a sight so gross to his eyes,
Turned his wits adverse,
This no one, Sebastian Oliver. 

For in the fall evening, classmates all,
Surrounded a young man of color, 
with curled lips of hate
In front of Sebastian Oliver. 

Not of this world, but born into it, 
To thwart the Devil's children, did
Human inalienable rights, exercise.
This young man, Sebastian  Oliver. 

And so with blood and rage, 
as they trampled underfoot 
a lightning struck those doers,
This man:  Sebastian Oliver. 

"Halt the hatred,  you who despise peace
for I am here to take up arms, 
For the weak and threatened,"
thus spoke the strong Sebastian  Oliver.

And the story goes, that he saved one life 
that night, but in truth was much more: 
for they whose atrocities were exposed, 
 came to see the strength of Sebastian Oliver. 

He died that night, after all the blood 
And horror waned...
But lives on, martyred for love
Was this hero
Sebastian Oliver.
