Short Maraud Poems

They were the first to be birthed, Tamed the lands of the earth; Took everything they needed, and gave back in return.

Then came the coloured,
Of whom they were meant to fear; Took their lands and pride, Left them ungeared

They're still here,
Alone; Living off of the little things they now own....

Their ships must ride
a rolling sky,
masts too high to sail into view.

They appear, board the land,
they buccaneer.

The clamoring mob
fall upon a scuttling prey
pluck the weakest
into hungry holds.

An eye-aye cocked and ready,
they raid and maraud
as only
treasure seekers can.

The gulls are here
and for a while
sea and land broil.
the air erupting
with mutinous calls....

Dead thoughts
Rotting flesh
Create living cages
creatures paraded on stages
Go to church, pay bills, working; a living fraud

A mirror unfairness - mirror of defeat
The human condition kills
Historical shame
Worn out name
Myself.
To Maraud.
Go head for the hills
plethora of opponents
endless bombardment infinite myriad
Propaganda - now buying the bullshit leaders sell
Just another component in the universal machine called god...

Dark days dreadful indeed,
Promiscuous
 peasants planting their seed,

Foreign to peace with galvanized hate,
With doubt in ourselves we submit to the great,

We say we are free but tend to conform,
Hand you a noose if you're out of the norm,

We proliferate lies and refute the truth,
Give up our ambition to feel aloof,

Please oh help us powerful god,
Stop those who lie, kill, and maraud,

We have succumbed to infinite darkness,
He may have created us, but has surely departed...
