Terms and conditions apply,
They create rules, for us to abide
Terms and conditions apply,
Made for a black person to survive
Terms and conditions apply,
For the most basic human rights
Terms and conditions,
Made only for our existence,
Not for protection,
But for the sake of our oppression,
To keep us under surveillance,
Monitored by a legal binding -
To make sure we ‘behave’
And not break a contract,
Only their hands signed
Terms and conditions,
Used, to excuse their obsession,
With policing our every movement
Terms and conditions -
To legalise their racism
Disguising Interview
“Tell me what happened”, said Satan.
Hmm. I went to an interview at a company.
“Where?” In the Park Royal Industrial Park.
“What company is it?” I'll tell you later.
“So, what happened?” Asked Master Satan.
I rang the bell. A man was let into the building.
A worker. Warehouse worker. Middle-aged man.
He took me into the canteen. He sat me down.
He sat me down at a table. There was only one chair
Positioned in front of the door of the toilet, beside the table
One table. One chair. “Interview with one chair??
I arrived earlier. Ten minutes. I sat there for more than twenty
Nobody came. “Continue, please.” During this time, I was monitored
“From the camera?” Also. During this time, men walked in and out of the toilet
And all of them watched me. All of them were… “I understand.”
How these men look like?” Manly. Aggressive. And other…
“Did someone talk to you?” No. Nobody. I left the building.
“This was a psychological test. In the UK. You are a victim.”
Of English Psychology. “Yes.”

In my life
“That’s
Right”
(“Depth Psychology Merit Badge”, 2015, original oil)
The mind is a mysterious thing
Handling the conscious and unconscious
Simultaneously,
A true multitasker behind its multimasked face.
So much remains below the surface
Monitored, projected and reacted to instinctively
Without even needing to rise to the level
Of conscious awareness.
And what does rise, getting all the attention,
Is often the same old stuff
Patterns and habits, worries, hopes and fears
Wearing deep grooves so hard to erase.
Below, the current shifts, fluidly
In tidal rhythms but with a constantly creative
Playful air that seems to defy
Its survival imperative.
How can the mind be so accepting
In the face of change’s annihilation?
Maybe it knows something in the depths
Which we mere mortals with rational logic reject.
Something fluid, tidal and creative
Something both above and below
Something which is a nothing
But the light reflected in her face.
(10/7/25)
As the world turns…
Unfortunately anything’s possible
And so we must be monitored closely
And controlled thoroughly.
I’m sure this is happening somewhere
At this very moment
I’m sure it’s actually happening
In many wheres.
While outside that particular nightmare
My life is relatively perfect
And yet I can barely cope
With relatively perfect.
If we only stay on track
And live without question
Where will that deliver us?
Without question, a dystopian future.

black female warrior
(2/7/13)
She was my black female warrior and she stood proud and tall
And upon her shoulders, her silk hair did fall
A spear in one hand and an axe in the other
No one would mess with her, not even her brother.
The strength of a lion searching for prey
She would not let anything stand in her way.
She knew where she lived - it was a jungle out there
But she was strong in spirit and did not care.
She is the black warrior and as strong as can be
You will find her in the annexes of history.
Just like the movie of "BETTY AND CORETTA"
Who showed what they can do- when they stood
Up against the politicians of the RED, WHITE and BLUE.
We are still being monitored by the land, air and sea
But we'll continue the fight so that we could be free.
These two women are the black warriors who walk
Hand in hand with all oppressed people who are willing to take a stand.
I am Hispanic and we've been denied many rights
Just like any other nationality, we're all willing to fight.
It does not matter our color, religion or
Sexual preference that we may have
"ONE NATION UNDER GOD WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL"
That is FREEDOMS CALL.

Take care of your loved ones
Bear in mind that all difficulties
Are just temporary and manageable
The most precious thing is the family
This is where your business will start
This is where feminity and masculinity develop
This is where your health is being monitored
Unite everything because of love and desire
This is where every dispute is being resolved
This is where business develop, share secrets
Of happiness, of recipes, of passions and ease
Value yourself, your choices and your connection.
Trampled Wills
Do you want something? Own ideas?
That’s a problem! You cannot live alone!
Are you an individual? That’s a crime!
You cannot have your own will and
consciousness, ideas, dreams, goals
You can’t be yourself, you have a ruler
You are a slave to a science. Human-made
This is the dark age. Foggy. Psychologically
The sun died. God became an exile
We are controlled and monitored animals
This is the darkness
We become zombies
In the Bible, Jesus said
Wolves come in sheep’s clothing
People who have been made…
Hopeless are waiting for the hope
“I am your hope, I save you!
Just do what I want of you!
Just follow all my instructions.”
Say it with a false, friendly smile
In a lambwhite cloak
The Foggy Psychology
You are
Money

Have we become mindless shoppers
Arriving home
Wondering
“what’s in that bag”
Pushing the “reorder” button
On a “saved” grocery list
Waiting for a “text”
To verify your existence.
The “nutrition” police
Have scanned your order
(aka know as request)
And altered said “request”.
Your compliance will be monitored
A bell will ring to remind you
When it is time to consume
The offerings of the day.
Please feel free to contact us
No one will respond
But your arrogance
Will be recorded.
