Revolutionaries

Tear gas canisters and rubber bullets
are hurled at their direction,
yet they rise again and again,
like anthills cropping out from earth.
The rains normally beat them, but keep
on rising and rising from the ground…


Gaza Baby

Justice sags for those in rotten rags 
Those in uniform is kept razor tight 
Where is your bleeding heart now. 

A baby, whose line crossed 
Where history meets, 
Dies 
Unschooled 
To tear gas rain, 

Condemned, 
Justice floats away 
Like a forgotten balloon.

Tear-gas gunned.
Water-canons-shot;
Beaten...
Thrashed...
I, the unemployed
Stood before that police
One among them
Who had not got the payment himself
At least for a year
Just like me
Happened to lift his police-pole
To hit me
And when he found him facing
His own unpaid brother
Only tears could well up
In both

Premium Member Dear Seattle, You'Ve Sold Your Balls To the Devil

Dear Seattle,
You've sold your balls to the devil.
Now your streets are overgrown
with poison pansies, weeds, and thorns.
At night there's rape-intimidation and extortion.
Just beyond their fragile little mind border.
A dollop of tear gas and a couple of weed whackers.
And they'll scurry back down their rabid holes.
Dear Seattle,
You've sold your balls to the devil.

Thunder and Lighning

thunder and lightning
are weapons of sky gods
the gods of war and tears
guardians of planet earth
regularly on rehearsal visits
with loaded cruise missiles
water gallons and tear gas
to train select nations in war
the ones on front-line defense
on combat, assault Technics
and scorched earth wastage
in preparation for war actions
in event of aliens attack 
at the end of physical times


The Blood of Mother Earth

Mother earth
Is in pain during test drilling for oil field
Her reserve of life is treat.
And  the hemisphere
Rivers are dying out
The forest that act as earth windshield surface
Is turning its greenfields brown

When people cry 
The oil companies beat and throw tear gas  on the  people´s
 of the earth.

Sea water fish and seabird experienced
In the oil spill scene damage
Oil and water don´t mix.

Premium Member Make Love, Not War

Make love not war
Keep peace on the radar
The generation of the 60's did define 
Free love,    and the peace sign 

People today are still seeking peace 
But governments seem only to want war 
As tear gas and bullets they release 
To maim kill and scar 

Peace appears to be a distant dream 
As those in power plot and scheme 
Shooting their missiles from afar 
They should learn to make love, not war!

Premium Member Turning the Page On Outrage

A red-streaked panorama graced Washington's dawn
   Clear lake-blue skies there all day long 
Portland smoke-gray, from tear gas and pepper spray
   Antifa showed its true colors on Inauguration Day

Not a hint of outrage from the government or the press
   It's alright if the fascists are left-wing, I guess
At the Inaugural Ball, attendees donned their prettiest dress
   Masks muting their 'concern' over the Oregonian mess

Premium Member Turret of the Damned

The art of intelligent debate is gone.
Lost in the children of the corn maze.
A generation raised by brainless boxes.
Know-it-all that really knows nothing.

Civil debate has become passe.
Now it's only my way or hell's highway.
Tear gas-bullhorns. doxing.
Up in your face is all the rage.
These little demons of anarchy.
Should be caged until humanized.

Goodness needs to take a last stand
Up in the turret of the damned.

War

Blood soaked boots and napalm skies 
Tear gas thrown but your tears are dry 
A body lays there with open eyes 
As it lets life go without a sigh
The taste of steel, the grit of sand
A steady rifle in a shaky hand
Step over the ghost of a man you once knew
Another casualty from a once solid crew
The ground is black, the air is cold
They’re barking orders—do what you’re told
Because you’re a grunt, your life has been sold
As you live to tell the tale at 18 years old
