over these valleys, mounts and plains, once debased by ruined man,
sounds that creep from the crevices of these wrecks, they have wandered-
over time and seasons, under...

The way I came to you was difficult. 
I was searching for years, 
which seemed like lifetimes. 
I received revelations and 
brief moments of Clarity
(I had epiphanies so powerful  that I 
felt overwhelmed
Felt godlike...

Any would be dictator can easily
close down an open and free society.
In order to do so 10 steps must be put into play
and these 10 steps are in place in America today.

Surely this will come as no shock,
But it makes me so happy 
When I think of your cooking,
I just imagine it and I start to hum, 
Thinking of how it fills me with comfort.

...Is a wonder, I must say, with full conviction,
It's a large 'marine cavern' or a 'sinkhole';
That's open wide with many a deviation
Who else except Nature has absolute control?

Blue holes are caves developed over time, it's...

The realisation that this violent red came up in me, that it had put
itself out there, against a peaceful blue

hidden underneath my skin I thought, but once this disconnection
came up, an unsafety, the red escaped

I drive an appetite that never tires; 
A gaping heart engulfing all it seeks. 
I own a will that constantly misfires; 
A mind subverted by its own critiques. 
I navigate the valleys and the peaks...

Have you been inducted in the herd community and
received its graduate certificate yet? 
I hear Nietzsche's Twilight of the Idols' rant on 'herding the herd community',
thinking, will we hear next the Covid-Uberman, i.e., the longing...

With your eyes full of hate 
As venom drips from your fangs, 
Your pores oozing contempt 
While anger courses through your veins 

A putrid cloud of malevolence 
Surrounds your black heart, 
While animosity and revenge...

Early Christmas morning,
Streets were silent and deserted.
The normal weekday bustle
Had been quietly subverted.

The supermarket sign that boasted
“Open every day”
Revealed its lie, for darkness was
The sum of its display.

The stands that peddled Christmas trees
Had vanished, in...

Santa stood in the warehouse
Full of nearly empty shelves
Last night they’d been ram raided
By a bunch of discontented elves

Recently infiltrated and recruited 
Into an association of packing staff
Whose ideas and demands and wants
Caused Santa to...

Where hast thou gone? 
Sweet innocents of youth
Thy reverence of purity
And subservient of truth

With poisoned treachery 
Thy essence perverted
Ignorance and jealousy
Thy Inner beauty subverted

Heavy upon sharp thorn
My trust doth lie
Heart heavy with burden
Tears of anguish...

Gone is your presence, 
But forgotten not 
Is its place in my heart. 

Away from me you flew, 
Carried away by the storm 
As its troubled winds 
Whispered its lies 
With its cool and moist...

By ways ambitious, and efforts grand, your goals like

neither far nor wide.
At times under stormless blue lit skies
or rakishly brash, bleak black skies,
weather stunts did test the...

The sun has stopped producing light and the rays travelling to earth crystallized, turned to honey, in which I am suspended and about to drown.

You subverted me into hell, 
My lovely and cruel angel.
I have no right even to yell.
You`re treating me like a stranger.

You wanted me to fly over
Right to the stars. I got frightened.
Now it is you...

Left Tampa bound for home
And though all caution we exerted,
We've landed in Virginia
Since our flight has been diverted.

La Guardia said no more flights
Could land and so we skirted 
The airspace that surrounds it,
All the pilots...
