Britain Today

What Democracy 

Democracy, in Britain is nothing but a lie.
From the dictionary the word should be deleted
Whilst democracy’s the slogan that politicians cry
The majority of us feel that we’ve been cheated

With political correctness forced upon us every day
Just in case the casual word may cause offence 
If you have a strong opinion  be careful what you say
Even though you may be talking perfect sense

When we joined the E.E.U. I’m sure we took the view
It would give a larger market for our trade
Yet now our mighty nation has a legal obligation
To abide by regulations Brussels made

The referendum was denied, the politicians lied
These decisions were decided by the few
It was no doubt understood, M.Ps thought it would be good
With a total disregarding of our view

MP’s pull out all the stops to try to fill our shops
With G.M foods that we don’t want to eat
Whilst cameras check our speed on roads where there’s no need
We’d be better off with coppers on the beat

If when confronted by a crook you land a good right hook
You may think that he deserved it, it’s his fault
When he is on probation you’ll be locked up down the station
To appear before a jury for assault

When travellers leave a mess, you’d be spot on if you guess
That authorities will turn an eye that’s blind
Yet drop a *** end in the street and before it hits your feet
You will get an instant ticket and be fined

If asylums what you seek and English you can’t speak
Benefits are paid for your welfare
But if your British and your old, your property is sold
To pay for any time you are in care

If you chastise your child, because he has run wild 
That law will on your collar give a tug 
For no matter what you say, do-gooders rule the day 
Even though the child may grow into a thug

In the interest of fair play referendums are the way
The majority decide just where we go
We shouldn’t change our laws or take part in futile wars
To massage a political ego

When we are due a big election, parties vie for our affection
Promising the things they have in store 
It fair gives us the hump, they should take a running jump
They must realise we’ve heard it all before.

It is hard to understand who governs our fair land 
Or who it is that makes up all our rules
Our politicians bore us, or totally ignore us
Democracy in Britain! It’s for fools!!.

Oracle of Giza

A new day perhaps, of immeasurable tin, sound of din
A hurricane noise, a thrall of riotous cuts, although thin
The blood-curdle choke of rage from before
Now purchased like plasma from the needle store
Go hump yourself, If you want my schtick, you vampire whore
You’ve had enough since the Garden, Lillith, you’ll not get more

Now the ratio between human, vampire, dragon and other dead
Has been cast with fair radiant echo against the nuclear thread
A shroud sewn with Alcubierre’s hand and Teller’s eye
Will re-write the laws of your time to die
Not forced by the forced prison of your local priest
Or enticed by Babylon to take part in it’s wicked feast

The work that was promised to Adam and re-framed unto Cain
To un-curse the valley, glen and land: to filter Acid from Rain
With thorns o- the rose coming loose from the Bush
And snakes running hither or thither in scintillate Rush
The Oracle of Satan found new charms to spread in perfect Cube
Could be the shape of Sound Maynard or Max’s Cubic Rube

The Time of Orwell Now and Jobs spelling Apple at his Side
And Sting writing programs for the Cops, whom along for the Ride
the Bladerunner checkin for humans among the technical horde
Huxley detected the separate spirit, lobotimized souls, Model T Fords
And Harrison checked again with electric sleep on the Brain
A tear for Summer, or a vision for Canticles, a wave almost Inane

With countless ages past since the Dust of Sumer lent
It’s hell-bound rasp of gutteral destruction spent
The awful wave of gas, a riotous nuclear blast
In the once Green land where sage grew fast
The dim spectre of time has given up the ghost
With markets bazar and material plenty, yet consider the cost

From Alabaster bone the Ocean’s a-shallow
The Mermaids remember the times that were fallow
Year upon year the bi-peds walked without aim or deed
That could count for fullness, even yet upon steed
Even in those ages of lore when upon horse they’d trot
Or with Gasoline chariot to the park like Mel Ot

None could account for the empty space of land
Or like Kieth Stone, bend down and till without turning into sand
The eidolons of time, immemorable: drooping, eternal clocks
An echo of murmurs, drogue and sorrow, indifferent as the rocks
Whom would not cry out, with refusal of price
None could garner their strength or bleed them twice

Today I Had a Strange Experience

Today I had a strange experience, 
Not in this group but in another group. 

‘Poetry and Lit'rature' it is not, 
In ‘Written or Revealed Poetry' thread. 

Asked, have I written poems in my life? 
I found it fit to answer it this way: 

I'm writing this in reply to a miss, 
I have never written poems in my life. 

Have wondered where these poems all come from, 
From human intellect or nature's store, 

To be picked up at moments of revelation; 
Or synthesized in rotten human brain! 

I was inspired to write these wicked lines, 
By those whose verses written were in sand: 

Let us debate poetry in poems, 
I hope she'll someday answer me in kind. 

I 'am not doing anything again, 
But asking questions all have answers for. 

I have my answers, you can have yours, 
This not an illiterate arena, 

Where someone asks questions and another from, 
Some academic circle answers them. 

Some anxious are, to questions throw around, 
Some eagerly waits there to answer them; 

This not such school or college where one can, 
En'tertain answers not from others too. 

I know I'm Alexander Pope's close kin, 
I stop here, to read Temple of Fame again.

I regularly take part in discussions in a famous social site of experts and writes in two special groups Poetry and Literature and Language, Literature & Criticism. A discussion on ‘Whether Poetry Has To Keep Form' became heated and I had to remain at the receiving end of severe but very polished criticism for some of my view points insisting on form for poetry. 

At last I was asked, ‘You do not seem to have understood the mechanics of poetry like many of us; have you ever read a poem or at least try to write one'? I decided to write my reply in the poetical form and invited the others to respond in the like manner and continue the discussion on poetry. In my native land, in Malayalam literature, there has been a long history of poets writing letters to each other in the poetical form, creating a rich branch of literature in itself. In truth, almost all Indian languages had this kind of a branch of literature, and it had become an interesting and rich feature of Indian literature. I replied as shown here.

A Poem For Sir James Dyson That's Not About Hoovers

Bath City football club is an embarrassment to Bath
Most people ain't heard of them the ones who have laugh 
Their aim and ambition is to be what they are 
And that's like dreaming you're a broken down car 
The fixture list came and it says you take part 
So you push that car around the track from the start 
Their desire is to exist with no plan to go far 
They don't have the fire they don't have the heart 
We don't show support when it all looks a farce
Don't we deserve something better than this
In good old Bath City where only rugby exists 
Football can rot because rugby's the wish 
absolute bollocks it's bollocks it is
Lacking intelligence in this rugby territory
it's like they see football the ultimate enemy 
Scared of its presence and what it might do 
A city with one club yet big enough for two 
Our Uni makes athletes Olympian Gold 
Bath Rugby competes while the football's on hold 
There is a demand, no there's not we get told 
"Football's not our game it's just not our mould" 
I know Sir James Dyson is a man made in Bath 
we're all proud of that, those Hoovers are bad 
I say that as slang, his old bosses are mad
They rejected his hoover, how dumb and how daft 
Now with your mass fortune beyond simple maths 
You can now do what nobody else ever has 
Invest in Bath City and put them on the map 
You'll be a hero and they won't be crap 
Potential so blatant will finally grow 
and with it our pride, a pride never known  
fill up the stadium with a reason to go 
and fans will keep coming if there is a show 
The community will bond as it responds to events 
when you create dreams the present prevents 
those magical days when the cup brings giants 
a promotion or two through your generous expense 
there's so much potential, they so under achieve 
it wouldn't take much for that club to succeed
giving thousands of locals dreams hope and belief 
It's you Sir James Dyson can gift what we need 
It'll take off like your Hoovers but the football won't suck 
with your big fat fortune it won't cost you a buck 
it's a bigger football club than we know but its stuck 
and it's about our community, it's a gift of good luck 
invest in Bath City and the best is to come,
you'll go down in history as the one champion 
who did the one thing that nobody had done, 
go on mate please it's a job that sounds fun

The Vampire Monk, Part Iii

III.
But I had a much higher purpose now,
damned or not, I would serve the True God,
for thirty years I served with my brothers,
upon a humble path I faithfully trod.

Maybe I wasn’t a miracle worker,
though I saved lost pilgrims in my time,
age etched lines in my brothers’ faces,
but it had no effect upon mine.

The abbot swore newcomers to secrecy
about the truth of my vampiric fate,
and I guess I believed I’d just go on
serving an eternity in this way.

But one day as the sun started to set,
I looked out upon a terrible sight:
A small girl running, screaming in fear
as a wolf closed on in for a bite.

I hesitated for just a moment,
the sun was high enough that I would burn,
but the terrified cries of a five-year old
were not something from which I could turn.

I sprinted out with unnatural speed,
instantly my skin erupted in flames,
raced past the girl, thrust my burning hand
to the wolf with jaws of snapping rage.

The fire seared both myself and the beast,
with frantic yelps of pain he then ran off,
I staggered back, my pale skin burned to black,
bits of flesh had flaked off and were lost.

I made it back to the small gatehouse
and I collapsed in the shadows within,
the abbot ran close, with my fading strength
I weakly tried to say goodbye to him.

But he just looked down, said,”We need blood.
Run to the chapel and fetch me the wine!”
A brother raced off, returned with the jug,
made no sense to my greatly pained mind.

He filled a chalice, look to the Heavens,
said,”Lord, I know that I am no priest.
But if he must die, let him drink of Your blood,
let him take part at last in Your mercy.”

I felt this would be a fitting way to die,
burned by the holy blood of my Lord.
But when I drank I did not feel the fire,
in fact I didn’t feel pain anymore!

I didn’t see it myself, but they say
that the charred skin beat a fast retreat,
and through the haze I managed to feel
a deep breath and a steady heart-beat!

When I sat up the sun came through a window
and it fell harmlessly upon my skin,
I felt true hunger, thirty years overdue,
by His power I once more was human!

They said In Him All Things Are Possible,
and I suppose I am the living truth,
strangest of all I still looked a young man,
blessed with the power and passion of youth...

A Wedding In The tree

A strange wind is blowing in the park,

You have to meet with me after dark,

 They are planning a wedding in the

 Trees and you have to get a secret gear

 Before you can attend the wedding over there

They have been planning this from twenty sixteen

When the mean guy came on the scene

They invited ten thousand guests

to take part in a lifetime dream

Everything was carefully worked out

With a slate a drone and the bison horn

The day has finally come when the truth

Will be revealed under the visionless sun

And the eyes will be there

 Searching for you everywhere

A strange wind is blowing over there

People are coming from everywhere

They came all the way from

Latain America, Canada, Cuba and the

Caribbean to sing eclipsical song

The Germans were there too

And the British were wooing me and you

The French are standing guard

And the Americans are cleaning the yard

The natives from African  and India

are wrapped in fine threads

and yards of clothing wrapped around

 their bodies and sweeping on the ground

The moon empress land on the lawan

just before the break of dawn

All the couples take up ther position in the tree

 To begin the mysterious wedding ceremony,

the weddeing bells begin to ring

and the angles began to sing

The flying saucer came straight from the

Sky with the secret brides wrapped up inside

There face were hidden under the veil

Exposing their watchful eyes waiting for destiny

To transpire under the blessed sky

The cermoney begain to tell the tales of 

A wedding in the middle of the tree

is the perfect irony for you and me

The couples are celebrating with thee

Look at them standing in the swaying trees

And when the ceremoney was done they left that place

In the flying saucer to romance in the burning sun

Ten thousand guest gallavanting in the breeze as the

Universe bond together to celebrate with thee

This is the biggest wedding I have ever seen

With couples dancing in the trees

Desire running up and down the place

 And if your on he guest list go on over

And enjoy the wonderful bliss

Something splended is happening over there

And you can tell that destiny is drawing

The breeze is crawling on its knees and

The wedding guests are saluting thee.

Pouch Poetry 1-4

hereunder is served some poetry pouches full of love, 
dear reader, stir them as you like, 
if you wish you may crack them to pour into mouth, 
you may smear them on your body 
or you may sprinkle them on the ground 
and then chant the name of god 
with love and enjoyment

1.
the simplicity that rolls down 
from the body of the sweet-meat 
made by my mother 

let it bring light 
to our radish-red love-story 

to hear or to notice 
love 
does not need 
putting an ear on the wall 
of the wall-street journal 

the bottle could be filled 
from the voice 

when you go to fill the bottle 
you would see that everywhere 
the arrangement of picnic is ready 

when i want to take part in that feast 
my neighbours would drive me towards 
the home  

although i’ve spent all my life 
running behind the love 

2.
who’s won the muddy-battle
was yesterday’s politics

my addiction is actually to cater 
the pouch of love
to develop all vitamins
and all bathrooms

people say you don’t love
the claps of the rats

yet i’ll come down 
from the branch of a guava-tree 
as a wave-of-shopping-mall
to the lake of your love 

now i’ll jump out 
from this computer screen 
to register a kiss 
on your lips

don't miss to applaud 
by clapping the hands


3.
the heart is half-sunk
in the window 

to some extent 
in the lipstick too 

on the dinner-plate 
there is the feelings of the lord 

that means 
i’ve to be burnt more 
i do agree 

i would become 
the sculpture of khajuraho 

this happenings may have been 
the right search for love 

on either-side of which  
a green is being worked out 
by the nostalgic-cycle 

whose colour-texture is very much harappa 
which has too many geometric-memories 

4. 
an undertone is speaking 
from within the solitude

now i’m in very much 
distress

or i’m in love 

i don’t know my love is what-for
may be that’s an arrangement only 

so easily are those interactions 
stitched with words 

strenuous or effortless 
in flight 
initiated 
with seclusion 

but when in the sinking of the playfulness 
i  write the games of the street-charmers 
 

the birds again and again 
pierce the archery 

thus becoming ashes 
through travelling 

in time-gaps still 
the audacity to compose poems 
on you

The Boy At Ticonderoga, Part Ii

...Duncan’s unit, the 42nd,
was placed in the center of the mass,
the French would crumble quick, he reckoned,
when the lines started marching at last,
not knowing that no orders had come,
yet on the left came the sounds of guns…
units began to advance with haste,
before all the men were in their place!
Duncan played his fife and the pipes wailed,
and the Blackwatch men began to march,
they’d be damned if they didn’t take part,
if their brave Scottish hearts were to fail.
So young Duncan found himself moving,
in his chest came a frantic pounding.

Ahead the light infantry attacked,
approaching a long, branch-studded wall,
when a wave of fire force them back,
so much smoke…Duncan saw not at all,
he kept playing, though he trembled now,
amidst the terror of muskets loud,
the 42nd, men of the kilt,
pressed to the earthworks the French had built,
when came a volley of vicious force,
clumps of highlanders fell to the earth,
Duncan dropped his fife, seeing the hurt,
his young mind from its duties divorced,
as dozens of men went to their end,
the piper on his left amongst them.

The Blackwatch was not easily swayed,
through hellish fire they did not break,
kept marching right through the smoky haze
as their proud ranks were constantly raked.
Duncan pushed on just behind the line,
his feet ignoring his fear-gripped mind,
the volleys came, the highlanders died,
until many just ran for their lives.
A precious few reach the wall to fight,
when came the bright glint of bayonet,
stabbing down quick at those not dead yet,
poor Duncan wet himself at the sight;
a highland blasted from his feet
fell back on Duncan, trapped him beneath…

He struggled madly to free his leg,
but he was trapped beneath a large bloke,
and only mere feet above his head
was a Frenchman in a pale great coat,
he grew panicked, and screamed out in fear,
the Frenchman noticed a foe was near,
on the breastwork he had a clear shot,
but on seeing the boy, the man stopped,
struck dumb by seeing this scared child,
’twas young enough to be his own son,
then he slowly lowered his gun,
struck by an impulse cool and mild,
and as he moved his musket away
he looed at Duncan, shouted, “Aller!”

Love At It's Finest

we look inside to dig deeper then ever before
 a willingness by which to explore so much more
 love is all around us as if hope springs a new
 many have bitten off far more then they could ever chew
 solace is branded by ivy thorns on the impulse of love
 brevity is still deep inside of me when I have time alone
 to wait in the parlor for a sweet word of enjoyment
 the favorable response to its duration and plight
 forget the night and the day is far well spent
 as if gravity is still deep inside of me but I hide from thee
 quietness in a walk through the woods 
 look at the Willow tree wave its tender branches
 in certain traces we get spaces in ordinary places
 conscious response to love
 to embark on a pivotal point of existence learn to shun its resistance
 out of every circumstance learn to take part in life's dance
 there are various trials to shape your character into being in the moment

 love has united the masses with vested chances
 love is the union between man & wife
 love is in the moment as you gaze into its light
 many have departed from its sight giving up on the fight
 the human creature is vast in there intellect
 a great cause to wait upon such a love
 how you have fought so hard and fierce
 my truest love is gone from here
 a challenge to be free is a question of time
 my one solution is using my mind
 living on the edge and its going to my head
 sitting up at night all alone in bed
 following the rainbow to the sky
 I see a vision of you pass me by
 Our war were in is almost over
 It's so hard to believe I lost my lover

 love has gained it also has lost humanities heaviest of cost
 yet still dig deep then ever before onto the duration of Agape love
 brotherly love to love in a praise of thanks to your fellow man
 let the reader understand everyone has love just have to tap into it
 from that of space and time we shall shine
 the love of your neighbor greater then your self
 greater love has the man that lays down their life for a friend
 a love sought to depend upon day by day
 amidst the barren cliffs hero's glare
 through the soul in flight as it permeates matters of the heart
 In Autumn as the leaves turn each leaf is symbolic
 breathe deep

The Yearning and Ache

Once held a Title
A means to associate oneself
With thee Who meant more
Although it was not felt until
Another time
Perhaps the wrong or right time
It is hard to say
Thee Who Meant something
Even though, at the time
I was not meant for thee
Gave what thee needed
Attempted to help
Even when those attempts were taken 
Taken and possibly forgotten
Forgot the words, their meaning and intent
Title gone, at times used with a teasing sense
Perhaps even Mocking to what was once something
Maybe for comical purposes too but
I do not know
Regardless, the feeling is there
The feeling of thee, at one point, having a special place in thoust heart
For...someone who possibly did not deserve it
But for someone who came to harbor it
Harbor thou as someone who felt so appeasing
In several ways
The memories that are exciting to think about
To live in
To dwell on
Leaves one in a state of heartache
Not for the possibilities
Those were accepted as nothing but fantasy
A fantasy you appeared to not want to take part in
But for what once Was
What was once so Serene
So...Beautiful?
Would I dare go so far?
In this state of mind...Yes
Beautiful
Is what the moments were
Even if bad and were filled with nothing but grief and worry for thee
And thou's predicament
It always enough to be in thou's presence
To talk with thou and hear thou's voice
Addressing this one, who would revel in thou's every word 
Share moments with thee
Those moments were what one would look to
Look to without hesitation and always with purpose
A purpose to strengthen the bond
The bond that would, if not sever
Diminish into something that is...
Dreaded
Dreaded with every chatting
With every sitting
Every glance and mention
Taken with a dread that pierces the very core
The core of what aches for something that cannot be Changed
Changed to something more...
Manageable
