behind charcoal framed prisons—

Prisons Are Not Made of Walls
Bricks and cement do not make walls for a prison
Only cruel minds and premeditation
Is it not murder?
Is it not fraud and theft that locks one in?...

Lurking dormant beneath our skin
Sentenced to prisons they call school
Liberation's rejoicing, spirit's fuel...

Then come reign by science fiction

Castles and Prisons Seem Cold
Castles and prisons seem cold
High ceilings
Icy walls
Rules galore
Who would want to live there?
Not me.
Princess or prisoner.
I want neither role.
Castles and prisons seem cold....

The Covid19 Camps
You all pray
for yourselves
ah now it matters
who, pray tell cares
about the children in camps
you empty prisons
yet fear the little children
more than any virus
moral decay ...

Pledge
I pledge allegiance to to the flag
and the corporations
which it upholds
(and to the gmo's and burgers for which it stands)
One nation under corporatism,
indivisible,
with prisons and earphones for all....

The Cruelest Prisons
Impenetrable fortresses built from stones of regret,
reinforced with concrete mistakes we can never forget.
Confined within these walls only your guilt shall dwell.
The cruelest prisons are the ones that we build for ourselves....

Orphans In The Bastille
All the pure thinkers
are slave to the Poet
Their theories self-serving
whose quotients divide
With ‘facts’ that convict them
to prisons constructed
From every transcendence
— their numbers can’t hide
(Saint David’s Pennsylvania: May, 2025)

Impenetrable fortresses constructed with stones made from regret,
reinforced with the concrete mistakes one can never forget.
Confined within these walls only you and your guilt shall dwell.

Impenetrable fortresses constructed from stones made of regret,

Shooting Stars
In the nighttime sky
Fiery stars bleed
Casting aside what binds them
Freeing themselves
From distant prisons
Never to come back
Jumping from invisible woes
Platforms deteriorate
Free-falling forever
Into outcast oblivion
Taking in the atmosphere
To burn out
And disappear...

Counting the Days
So greedy
taxing my taxes
sending me to prison
but can't feed me
Never believing it's true
blind to the truth
until it happens to you
Trying to find out whats right
alone my struggles for life
Building more prisons
less schools
nobody seems to listen
We are under attack...

A Minichu on the Dilemma of Analgesia and Weapons
Words are cures and killers.
Each flick of tongue or wrist, there lies a decision,
Twin pillars:
Heal and maim.
Will you build new dawns or prisons?
Self-same
You, them:
Applied visions,
Prey?
Words are cures and killers
Will you build new dawns or prisons?
Pray?
