Nationals
You wear your flag like a second skin,
the colors bright, the threads worn thin;
And speak of victories long ago,
In voices proud, yet soft and low.
The tales are told, again, again
the triumphs carved in dust and pen;
The papers shout what you should hear,
While silencing what’s less sincere.
You count your coins, you guard your name,
you say it’s

Blurring the Lines
The fakification of modern life
Is almost complete
As AI and disinformation
Crowd out the real and true.
If you didn’t see and do it
How can you even trust
It ever happened
Or at least how they say.
Like the old Emperor and his new robes
But in reverse
Now it’s the old calling out the lies
While the young just accept the illusion.
To the

A Warning to Conspiracy, the Paranormal and the Occult
Crowley can suck eggs and men in beds,
The spies can take a long and slutty hike.
Leavitt can take the words she spreads,
And sit for each on cactus spikes.
Magic is but a muse,
A trick a mind performed en masse,
Claiming fiction in the news,
As if evil's in the smoke of grass.
Ghosts and spirits float in heavens,
Hovering in

Black Propaganda
Dark whispers take root,
Poisoning the public mind,
Truth becomes the ghost.

Propaganda is Alive and Well in the USA
Information is not always true
Even if printed in the newspaper blue
But if it’s on the internet, it is right? Some think
Why would they print lies in permanent ink?
It’s called propaganda, you silly peeps
Subliminal clips brainwash you while you sleep
You are so gullible, our country is a laughing stock
For ten thousand dollars, I can sell you

are you delirious
I rose through the ranks ready to rumble
Panama is ours! I yelled into a jumble
Are you delirious asked a mob of thirty-three?
Guess I am for I just had my Fox News lobotomy.

Black Boy
black boy hungry

War
War
War is real
It’s bad for your health
They send you to death
And embellish their wealth
War is necessary
The propagandists rev you
Til you hate the scum
Who have families like you
Sister, wife and mum.
You’ll fight for freedom
While you do as your told
The blood in your veins
Becomes icy cold.
Your name on a monument
Your wife touches the letters
Your kids cry

Virtual Democracy
Democracy ain’t
What we imagine it to
Be. A disaster!
Communism is as
Bad. Exploitation is bad
Everywhere, my friends.
Same strange lies
Our world is in trouble
Cry and pray.

Anti Ode To Voices of Hate and Propaganda
Tlaid like Rash' o stabbings,
your voice hisses from your podium of Hell.
Blah blah blabbing.
A one sided Tale, of convenient scapegoats.
The goats of your usual slaughter of throat.
No empathy, only agenda and love's

Mirror
We buy and are sold priceless things,
read human stories written by android;
a smokescreen present muddies the once transparent past,
innocence doom-scrolls, an aging youth now hard to avoid.
Look young but age gracefully,
stay slim whilst enjoying your food;
have children as you climb the corporate ladder,
discuss your feelings but don't affect my mood.
Water once clear becomes slick with

How Many Putins Are There Anyway
It is. It isn't. Is it him today?
It might be Putin, or it might be not
How many Putins are there anyway?
That's not his chin. It is. It's hard to say
The space between his eyes is not a lot
It is. It isn't. Is it him today?
He's out among the crowds. Oh happy day!
All former paranoias are

Tell Them
Tell them
Open their eyes
See the truth hear the facts
Listen to the wise ones always
Tell him
Tell him
Always be kind
Shine with the brighter stars
Let the man match his own shadow
Tell her
Tell her
How to be strong
And how to hold her own
Give her gifts of light and power
Tell me
Tell me
Which side you picked
Why do you palter so
Our time was

Stop the Propaganda Against the Queen
The Queen has answered her ancestral call
England is in sad reflex to her nightfall
My condolences to the Royal House
For Her Majesty can no more live within the House
But her legacies which make England proud
Will in many books be read aloud
Sadly we won't further say God save the Queen
Who in humility lived in between
With no thirst
