That shatters little privacies she shares with no one else, and steals, with full impunity, her one recurring...

on those enslaved across multiple generations.

Enslavement leads to addiction and codependent denial,
then is taught and mentored to enslaved children,
also separated from family and sold,

The Trial of Christopher Okigbo
I

Hungry earthworms
Forever entombed in the bowels
Of mother earth
Awake

Defy this asceticism and prostrate
For your ultimate destiny
Lies not in the dogmatic 
Steady march along beaten footpaths

Hungry earthworms
These reminiscences of plaintive cooing
They do not placate
Those dethroned, deprived spirits
Of...

I only drank one year, a while
I vastly prefer self-denial
Didn't like myself more
Back when dates *tried* to score
Now I've let them go, with a smile :)

Never got totally wasted
(Well, didn't like how it tasted)
Just pressured...

There are some who live by fear
And there are those who live by love
Those who believe their perceptions
Should not be constrained or altered

There are some who think belief
Should be guided and dictated

Cain and Able
Despair that transpires, and confuses within,
around in chaos I spin and spin.
Suffering the delusions that complicate the cycle of life,
everything eats leaving only the matter of strife.
Blood red tears that form my complex heart,

Less Than Zero
With glorious primordial certainty
  the sun will rise, the sun will set;
likewise you languish knowing what you're about,
  you know what is and isn’t so;
  yet, ultimately, you don’t.
Chained to the chromium...

I always felt the outsider, looking through an open door.
I know I was invited, but I didn’t know what was in store.

Back in the mists of time
Were stories sung 
Where minds in thrall by minstrels 
Were held
With tales revealing 
Viscerality and viciousness
The currency of glory and shame.

Who does not marvel at 
Achilles's pride
A ruthless killing machine...
