He was obnoxious almost to the point of repulsive
Constant banter escaped his always yapping jowls
He gave you no space or peace, monopolizing all conversation
Many stopped attending family reunions due to this brazen boor

Join the Resistance
Counter the forces
that are monopolizing
contemporary societies
Fight for what is right
Be a lighthouse
for all to see
Sound the bell to
wake us all up
Question the bourgeoisie
with all of their
rules and regulations
Live outside the box- - - - -
Become an Outrider
Contemplate your actions
Make them powerful, forceful
Keep up the pressure
Don't give in
Replenish your energy
with an eye
towards the heavens
Always be peaceful with
no harm to anyone

The sky over Gaza is raining red, to the frenzied audacity of smart bombs it has ceded the universe of tranquility.
Witness the calamity, this theater of cruelty with merchants of death monopolizing its space, turning the sky over Gaza into a
Rat-infested environment, salivating the mayhem visited on the innocent below, without pity or remorse.
The sky over Gaza simply wishes it had gates to shun the savage intruders.
But, it has neither thunder nor fire for them, only a sea of tears.

My matriarchal genetic line
of narrative
not quite sublime
resonantly erupts
regeneratively abrupt
Loves repeating
robustly carnal wisdom's long
drawn out song
Continuously unabated
with unconditional
transgenerational regard
something emerging more positively
than simply not not hated
Unlike our discontinuous patriarchal lines
drawn win/lose competitively
dominating lies
across sandy soils, now quaking
under shaking stubborn feet
awaking.
Where Mom will wake
each morn to greet
this life feels glad
to peacefully repeat
While Dad will scowl,
invoke defeat
his love was lost
in-dust-trials
of empty sad
manufactured repeat.
Monotonously monotheistic

In Ego's monopolizing face,

in monoculturing
monotheistic minds
Of economic

Sun enlightened Synergy
resurrects God's omnipotent

The virus lives
where is it?
Controlling my actions
what can I do?
Do not touch
where are my gloves?
Restricting my movements
where can I go?
Seizing my lifestyle
where is my freedom?
Monopolizing my space
What do I think?

I look away quickly
not able to bear the look
I never wanted to see in my sister’s eyes
The pain is deep,
it is a wounded look
She has been isolated for a long time
Her abuser has her hand
He is monopolizing the conversation
Barely allowing her people access
She is not the same
May never be
I want to squirrel her away
To find out why
she has such sad eyes

Searing, disruptive, gravitational,
the face came into focus from too far away,
long before anything at that distance had a right to,
monopolizing eyes.
There was an audible gasp from the passersby.
Or at least it felt that way.
A form of disfigurement,
as if someone had taken a lovely face
and tampered with it until the proportions,
the lines, the feeling of it were all wrong,
in the way that perfection was wrong.
Painful to look at.
I felt sorry for her,
burdened as she was with a miracle of beauty,
so far out of the sphere
of ordinary perception
it couldn’t even be remembered.
Except as a lingering of light on my retinas.

Treachery itself is vagabond
a corporate revenue, a stagnant want
that so directs man's future toward its plan
to implement confusion, narrowed band.
As breaking down arrangements contraband
a flowing over into alien land
control with false derangement, nor expand
a blocking off of nations, to take stand!
As funding from some futile broken hand
is plentiful while reserves empty panned
without a back-up measure, undermanned
and built up to dissension, bankrupt, canned!
So Empire, feeding selfish fake command
and that which ventured lightly, now is banned
while change of capital rating twitter span
monopolizing choice, by worthless scams!
Now, play the note I've written, if you can,
the sound is flat, misgiven . . . bing-bang-bam!

This feedlot of ancestral glitter
how tiresome, now a rummaged litter
a mitigated financed quitter
the addict, driven to mass rid stir!
As nature's boundaries pray beauty
the homeward bound, lost soul's forced duty
is to give in, give up, take booty
as dignity's rebuff thrives loosely!
Monopolizing wealth's consider
the numbers game, let live on bitter
your choice is here, from us, don't quiver
but take the drug, that made you sicker!
The addicts prayer is but a flicker
of hope to ride out, faith's endeavor,
as saying NO, still presses lever
insidious pressures force is ever!
The pushers living off receivers
to modify their conscious efforts
then vandalize the paycheck's rather
and hypnotize feeling together!

HERETIC
'Tis known you're not all there, all of the time,
but I'm submissive; more than I should be;
though heretic somewhat, 'twould be a crime;
in my belief, you're not more than I see.
My failing in your eyes, 'tis life to me,
my very breath, the only way I know
of reaching you, where-in I wish to be,
my being not all there, I choose from Go.
Please take my hand, and make our journey slow
throughout our way, we'll not believe in time;
'tis but a guage, mere numbers few could know
would bring the end, to life, the constant climb.
And through forever, we'll not hold on Go;
Monopolizing everything we know.

Well they are here again
Knocking on my door
Monopolizing my television
Decorating my neighbors homes
Blitzing me at every store
And corner in every city and hamlet
Between here and Buzzard Beak, Idaho.
It’s like a virus
A pandemic
Santa Claus is coming to town
Well I’ve been bad, very bad
And if that bastard shows up at my house
He ain’t getting cookies and milk
I’m been talking to Jesus and he tells me
That Santa is a fake, a sham, a trick on the poor people
He’s just a way to make the rich richer and poor poorer
So I ask Jesus “Why do you let this happen?”
And he smiles and tells me a long story about faith and forgotten dreams.
Then he fades back into the egg nog and I sleep with the devil.
Fitful dreams and reindeer back strap for breakfast
I eat the fake snow and regurgitate the Christmas balls
Burn the tree and bury the trimmings
The fat man can’t intimidate me.

On the boardwalk, skies and waters a majestic blue
On the boardwalk it’s me and you
Together hand in hand.
Together we just bought this square of land.
Monopolizing from
People who landed to hear the wave’s drum
People who landed to hear the ocean rumble
Making it last.
So this game doesn’t go to fast.
Richer by the time
People land on the boardwalk and pay a little more than a dime.
This is the boardwalk palace.
This boardwalk for my king.
And I shall be your Queen
On the boardwalk, skies and waters a majestic blue
On the boardwalk it’s me and you
Together hand in hand.
Profiting more than money from this land.
More than beauty, riches, and power
But the one thing that really towers
Love
And the memories
On the boardwalk, skies and waters a majestic blue
On the boardwalk it’s me and you
Together hand in hand.

Oh Lord, the nullifying captor is Amen,
that one line last would leave thee as a friend,
I err in countenance, tossed grievous send
monopolizing nothing begs for tend!
Outweighs the choice, on destiny depends
and leeches voice to sanction its befriend!
The Wedding garment chosen by extend
a Bride of Christ enclosed in apprehend!
The Saint's the garment, no more lone pretend
infinity the reason ~ love's commend
the wound the tatter we to cover, mend
the prayer but space, the earth but comprehend!
No closure to identify as then
in mercy reconcile ~ Christ's come again!
