21st Century Emperor's
The emperors have no clothes on!
People are living in a trance
Psychologists like to call it cognitive dissonance
Perhaps even a carefully crafted chance
To see what isn't there, only to praise a hollow show,
While truth and reason disappear, common senses go.
It’s just simply a situation gone sad
I can’t help but wonder, have we been had or merely

Time 1984
Time is a funny thing,
time does not always seem real.
Governments and their rulers,
come and go.
Some are good to their people and country,
while others only destroy.
Can they be brought to their knees,
maybe ~ sometimes?
When we are living in today,
we have real time.
Can we now see or understand,
the many years that will come?
Then one day we awaken,
to

Individuals
Crowd is easier to be ruled
Than a bunch of individuals
So the rulers and their fools
Do behave collisional
Towards anyone who is
Much too independent
Rulers flatter and appease
Fools come out resplendent
With their threats and accusations
But the individuals stand
By their own representations
Truth moves on like shifting sands
On the coastlines where we strolled
When the world was

Big Impression
It isn’t the big celebrations,
Enormous dinners or huge gifts.
Parties never rouse foundations,
Jamborees or festivals.
It isn’t the life-sized creations,
Who impress kings, rulers or monarchs.
It’s the little things, a gentle expression,
When hearts meet in the deserts,
When dreamers discover their profession,
When simple reaches into the heart,
Pulls out a feeling, an impression,
The beautiful that inspires the light.
It isn’t in

Son , keep my wise words for your bright future: As a future leader, privilege discipline in everything you will do.
A ruler has much power when his people are with him. Learn to understand the voices of the people you rule. A wise leader knows that power does not mean to control and ill

Annointed One
Oh, Annointed Ome, crowned this day,
Whose beauty lights up the sky;
Take over please as ruler now
Before we elders die.
We leave you all this Planet and
Dark Universe beyond;
Your word will travel far and wide,
Like ripples on a pond.
Our generation tires now,
The baton we pass on;

The Rulers
Following the first thwack
we deduced that distance was
limited primarily
to unpredictable bursts of anger,
arbitrary chastisement factors.
The rule, all of its dozen commandments
plus the extra uncalibrated ends -
a fixed length, extended sufficiently
to bruise well beyond
its mere twelve inch reach.
Wood or Perspex the fractions stung,
minds began to compute escape
in eighths and sixteenths,
we understood that the rod, the yardstick,
probably

Pipes For Fortune's Fingers
To say no creature eats carcass
Is but mockery to you vultures and hyenas
I spit before your throne
You whose whips I have always known
Who drowned the fish in my rivers
And made barren the soil of my mothers
You who made my children slaves
And did leave me near my grave
You have broken my hardest coconut
And have cracked my

The Rulers
The rulers
The poor rule the world, live in badly built flats
buy plastic rubbish for the children as toys.
They can`t cook and their diet is fat and disgusting,
but without them, the rich would not be wealthy,
fewer cars on the roads full of potholes as there
would no one to keep the road drivable.
And their big offices

The Sixty-Four Rulers of the Yi Jing
The Sixty-Four Rulers of the Yi Jing
When chieftains uncrowned yearn to be enthroned
They either give their daughters to princes
Or invite other chieftains and have them poisoned
Some choose the war-path without hindrances
And lose their lives wives their land masses
In days of yore we call smirk as dark ages
Today’s chieftains also own land masses
Stars with stripes pedigree
