And slow-cooked at night,
Could it be that
Al Gore was right?...

Real life aint
no drama 
with some

let us be moved...

Your wounds bleed past tomorrow
 an inconvenient truth
Unsutured blame — till death reclaims
its healing absolute

Al created the algorithm
One late night as Tipper danced with him
The thought came by chance
As they freestyle danced
Initially dubbed "Al Gore Rhythm!"...

At a time inconvenient it teases,
As it comes whensoever it pleases.
Creeping ever so sly,
It will make you yell, "Why?!"
And the thing that I speak of is sneezes....

why do we opt to trauma bond
with whims of relatives
when their expectations
are both selfish and irrational 
and inconvenient to comply with

we should not
yet we tend to do
signalling bondage 
to an imaginary script
we really do not need to follow...

I can freeze you with a sensuous glance
  Set you ablaze with the touch of my lips
    In the flames of fiery amorous romance
      there are times when my personna slips

Darling, I swear to you, I'm not a witch ~
  It's just an inconvenient and untimely glitch...

Pro-Palestinians shout
     What about?
   "How can you support
     Gaza's occupier?"

   Those who shout
     are rather dumb louts
   Gaza's occupier since 2007
     is (surprise!) ~ Hamas!

   Israel withdrew in 2005
     eighteen years ago
   Ever since then Gaza has been
     100 percent Palestinian...

Stupor of blind belief has caged soul in mind,
bemused by illusions, all self-created,
making us flounder about, as do the blind,
hypnotised by scriptures, fully sedated.
God is packaged in all colours and sizes
but know only the pure heart realises,
who in truth God is, as dweller of our heart,
who when He leaves, our life force too will depart....

What malevolent thing
with intrinsic sting
attacked me
a few short days ago
whose coming and going
a mystery?
Doctor says it's a bite
but it stings alright
I was laid low

Tablets, gel and a pack of ice
"keep it up" was the advice
I hobbled about the place
my leg on show
an inconvenient episode
and painful?
Very...
The perpetrator never showed!...

Quick! Let’s get to the bottom of it. 
uncover the answers we seek 
aggressively we are being spoon fed 
running  like desperados  
Asymptomatic ; stuck in a circle of chaos 
nevermind what we do not know 
too much is shrouded in paranoia
inconvenient to look below the surface
now forced isolation, mindset changes,
Earth healing; may be what can free us....

I am violent
speaking over peace.

I help those who love me
weep
as joy grows too remotely possible.

I am always angry without cause
for love.

I lie
when truth feels too vulnerable,
intimate.

I kill inconvenient life
to decompose decadently apathetic death.

I evil in ecological despair
rather than healthy live 
with more curious polycultural faith....

the truth is inconvenient 
as also unapologetic 
but when voiced
is resisted

conflict looms
not of our making
we view as unfortunate 
the decline of righteousness 

although outcomes matter not
we stand for what is honest
nonchalantly observing
deviousness at play

it is not for us
to educate the other
but we would lessen ourself
if we cowardly look the other way...

intent in heart
births thought in head
ego manifests
claiming ownership
birthing delusion
rooted in ignorance 

back to the heart
resting therein
in tranquil quietude 
identity disappears
but consciousness exists

confronted with the truth
which is inconvenient 
for the ego
we are in denial

the puppet
wants to become
the puppeteer

so what will it be
blue pill or red pill

choose...

Waking up another day

wondering should I

give my life away

I tried to take mine

it didn’t work easily

I guess for the others

the decision was free

and when your days get cold

only a few friends roll

so real life ain’t no drama

with some distant applause

its an inconvenient cause

I don’t have a lot use of my legs

I have a dream

I have the brain

and it just have to maintain !

We’ve redefined God
Into someone 
Who fits
His image
Our vision
His vision
Inconvenient
Alongside things
That won’t let go
His message untimely
With bills to pay 
And concrete goddesses 
To which we pray
  “a tail never tried to wag
   a bigger dog”
As we chant inside the 
False rapture
Of our own 
Becoming
Hiding from the very 
Light
That promises
 —to show us the way

(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2016)...

The moon looks to be shining brightly right now.
Our lives are shown to us in a short, quick show.
There is no one else to blame but us for our flaws.
It contrasts admirably with the way the wind blow.
We can refer back to the flag by raising the billow.
It's inconvenient to be forced to limit one's view.

The most tragic loss is our way of thinking.
In a state of confusion, no one is striking....

I must give you a very stern warning:
Don’t ever call me at three o’clock in the morning.
You certainly have some unencumbered effrontery.
Why at such an inconvenient time do you want to pester me?
Normal people find the time to sleep at that hour.
How would you like to take a sulfuric acid shower?
I know where you live, and I will come over to your house.
An ingrate like you is the personification of a louse.

My version has more detail than yours
My version covers the twists and turns
My version accounts for what occurs
My version makes memories return

My version is inconvenient truth
My version helps bring closure
My version investigates like a sleuth
My version keeps its composure

My version is unapologetically blunt
My version shines a white-hot light 
My version is not a gimmick or stunt
My version permanently ends the fight...

Behind the masks 
We are safe 
From epidemics 
Behind the masks
Thieves and robbers 
Being not recognised 
Are safe too
Behind the masks
Voices become indistinct
Dining becomes inconvenient
Smiling hidden 
Anger has no vent
Sorrow and despair overlooked
Beauty not appreciated
Behind the masks 
Just like the politicians and cheaters
Never show their real faces
But don't worry
God always read your hearts
But not your faces...
