On the extremity of  a tall bank 
Of big broken stones in round circle done
We reached up a more cruel clutter flank;

And there, for the horrible and strong stun
Of rotten stench which the deep...

This town, this Silk Road had no toll to pay
  yet from the east caravans again fill its
pharaonic marble and glass temples. Monolith

malls rise its clefts, eco-wilderness morph
  into multiplex cinemas; mini golf...

You’ve met me,
but you just don’t know it yet
The dream house that you want,
I once polar bear hibernated there ...
two winter moons ago

The summer fruit of relaxation
that you’re tasting now,
I planted it 
two prior vineyard...

battles are about where they disappear
the ones that walk away

A friendship gathering
in the land of Goshen ...

My friend, Flip J says transcendently,
that publican people are only telling you
half the truth every single usury time,
with a crocodile tear in their eye
The other half they’re selling...

In an ahistorical fog:

all the Ways home,

all the signposts,

treacherously hidden 

by greedy men and women:

all eyes off the ball:

mere contemptible bourgeois folly.

The rain is unending,

the wind howls,

the flooded river races,

its banks rapidly disappearing

in this darkness...

We were told at a young age,
capitalism is long-term better
Got the short end of the slave trade,
now everyday I’m feeling fetter

Working the industrial fields,
come rain or shine
Breathing factory fumes that kill,
half-life expectancy 
	was the pyramid...

Just sign here please

I just received the foreclosure letter
the foreclosure letter
my God is this really happening
no one is coming to save me
don't they know
if they would start lending money
people would put me to work and

Mines the wonder
Living is an act of aggression. Every time I go out of the house it upsets the balance of the universe. Today I had someone tell me that things were coming undone, old...

Open hearts to victims of neglect
In communities immunized from kindness
Hardened by design to the core to select
The affluent whose blindness and fondness for coldness and heartlessness

Shunt aside concerns of the bottom of the pyramid
Whose human...

Disrupting models of personal data manipulation, dissemination and protection
In scenarios where click and trick firms gunning
Through stealth and miscalculation

A tiny world inside a tiny bubble
filled with danger and deceit
full of the world that they create
secret whispers in their shadows
within their darkness and their hate
in the world that they create

Slippery hands exchange the things...

You’re a consumer pawn on the cargo chessboard,
being merchandise moved 
by the mighty, 
free-market bellow powers-that-be:
The Babble Tower titans of industry

And the fawning, vote hopes that you have
is advancing 
conveyor belt backwards
The packaged progress that...

Always on my mind
Nibbling at the core, fiddling at the soft centre
Quizzing, teasing me to find
Space and time to enter   

The pantheon populated by caring
Daring divinities whose flight
Into ether left me wondering
If I...

Reject

If you today set your sails
The boisterous currents called “reject”
Blowing from the people’s anger and wails
Wallowing in usury and neglect 
Betrayed trust and hopes facing fails 
Innocent of cause but guilty of effect 
Will blow...

on making war

apolitical is political
just gonna be inhospitable
give me drug to raise me...

For reasons unknown
Understood and misunderstood under the hood
Worn in low moods known

To trigger bouts of doubts
Brought about...

Hey buddy,

Hey kind sir,
can you help a fella get propped back up?

who was sticking it to tax evading citizens
Unpatriotic deadbeats who weren’t...
