They ruin life and lure fame.
Their name incurs all sorts of shame.
They think alike, and die the same....

I desire my lost bark power 
The oak heart I used to possess 
My joy hidden in the rain’s  mess  
The veiled light for leaves to flower    
To mute tyrants now I cower....

Creativity…
undemocratic 

Tyrants of insight,
breaking new ground

Vision on fire,
effigy’s burning 

Painting’s unframed
—all muses set free

every day i live 
in this capitalist society
is an act of rebellion
to live
to eat
to breathe
being alive where
system doesnt want you
defying orders and threats of tyrants
i say $^^^ you
and live....

Justice has no borders
liberty no walls
Freedom lives beyond the realm
of tyrants big and small

Blood once spilled in battle
generations to enthrall
Sealing hope in memories deep
—to those who heed the call

Cheap self now
Afford self-doing
Vulgar to so after-
Mass-ive tumor
That is eating,
And beating this needing
Eyes cries for the lies
Stained in youth drains
These young veins
Falsehood tyrants rule
Over peons passed
Loveliness lives like loneliness...

A flawed democracy exists
When laws are mere words on paper.
When tyrants use an iron fist
A flawed democracy exists.
When we all can be on death's list
Then evil reigns, drunk with power.
A flawed democracy exists
When laws are mere words on paper.

In sentient shades of silence
The heart endures from tyrants
Love lives lachrymosely long
My heart shows its prong.

The Way of Tyrants  (Tanka)

Red nosed circus clowns 
Behind mad grins… hate the laugher 
As with dictators 
In absurd fantasy uniforms
We hoot only when they fall.


Tyrant in his cave
Resentfully reflects on life
 Western big shots came 
Ate roasted lambs in his tent  
How could he be so gullible?...

The Life Quixotic is still Chaotic, 
Still despotic while Tyrants rule. 
Joy, it seems, a thing of dreams
When I wander like a Fool. 
Eternally internally profoundly confused- 
Searching for Time far better spent 
In a Mind I find unfit- MISUSED! 
A wish to be Omnipotent...

You have named me
The king of beasts
Where crown and sceptre
Hold no tyrants court.
Only balanced nature
Where evolution thrives
Knows I have my place.
I break the chain
Which signifies no title,
Only by weaker link
So life may forge a
New bond to become.
Who shall be called beast
When you are regicide
And life is no more....

Baby born off of the bay
Inspiration is into the imagination
Right there ranting like red rovers
Tyrants topple from their towers
He hustles to have his hands hammering homes
Day when daisies drown in detergent; disgusting
And anyone able to achieve amazing accomplishments,
Yields the yellow yaks yammering about the yams.

Happy Birthday!...

The land and the home of the free and brave see the waste see the need see the face
see the sea see the burden freedom isn't bought with peace freedom waits freedom breathes freedom says what freedom means Politically speaking it's easy to say You saved me from tyrants and freed me from them Evidently allah and Jesus ain't on the same page...

Since a thousand Sumerians I have been searching for my blood.. about you.. for the one who looks like me I found you nothing but a guillotine and it is my testimony..
And the land is yours sanctify freedom so that the tyrants of the land will not rule you..
It is the tears of eternity or its jokes People have a freedom whose opponent is not free.....

I reach down, my hand brushing the soil,
The dead earth now charred and barren, decayed -
All that we have touched is now grains in my palm,
A madness that stems from a despotic rule.
Our own fervour about  almighty justice nailed.
Is a fierce rush of revenge and power.
Is this how we are meant to be?
Tyrants of the world, embittered in lunacy....

The Tyrant

How cruel is love:

That it might entice a statue ,
Then forsake it when it move.

That it might crown a man Emperor, 
Then banish him from his kingdom.

That it might deliver a man from the gallows,
Only to have him murdered by its own hand.

Oy vey, Of all the tyrants known to man,
There is none crueller then unrequited love....

Long ago in days of Glory
there was a Man who lived a Story
Our nation strong he did make
a True Patriot- not like the Fake 
Father of our Nation was good old George 
Man of Character  he waged a good War 
From Country's Foes he secured the Land 
our Freedom won from Tyrants Hand 
the Contrast is Stark - his deeds well known 
He sold our Country for his Crown....
