Flint
Flint 
Within its brilliance gleaming
Cool black in lacquered polished silver chrome
Cranked up pistons bleached in summer’s heat
Hot steam rising as gears thundering
Beyond the crystal liquid city lights
Highways built across the land
In hearts felt pride American...

When the Argonauts, came across 
the abandoned Starship, they 
found within the wrecked 
command console, a DNA code
with encrypted message. 
It took several attempts to 
reactivate, but when opened, 
the following was translated: ...

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

all those years

flourished around 
did we or didn’t we go 
to the moon, when we
were once human,

whichever way 
the dark shadows 
conveyed it.

came out much later,...

Just suppose – a hierarchy rules this shadowland
Pulls the strings of governments, not walking hand in hand
Amend our constitutions, to suit their future plans
Throw Christians to the lions, as Lucifer demands

Just suppose – this world...

Do the Math
Fifty stars
and
thirteen stripes
Wavy patriotic mathematician

Subtraction or addition,
what will the numbers be,
37 or 63?
Slavery took away my parents’ human rights,
and their children’s dignity
I got 59 stripes to show

I go to sleep a lot now, 
to escape reality. 
It is as if I am no longer here, 
but there in the other worlds. 
Some dreams are so real. 
Once was a life

Like staunch sentinels they stand 
Around a center speaker, a white-haired man 
With microphone poised and voice steady
To speak of a vote and not being ready.

Exclusion
I know the game of exclusion,
have played it all my life and
now I've mastered it,
a talent to brag about.

Exclusion from normality,
the joy of inclusion.
Exclusion from continuity,
the malaise of discontinuity,
the permanent otherness.
It's a mystery how it...

No Such Things As Hate Speech, Part I
You hear dumb people screaming it
all over the networks today,
latest excuse for censorship,
“Hate speech! Hate Speech!” they always say.
They’ve even pushed some governments
to think that it’s a real thing,
politicos lusting for power
are only too eager...

Bit by bit 
we build our walls
strict little districts
to pin our minds on
and keep the paper tigers out

Political Romantics
counting sheep 
and numbers 
we walk in our sleep
dreaming of doors

Opening inward
externally we are Bezirke

Defiant in-body, pleasures obscure.

My poor vocabulary babies

But I think there must be a resurgence!
It seems that our scientists all must have blinked,
Could it be just a bad egg emergence?

When a child of God unleashed a threat.

And I could see it was quite upset.
