and the good guys lost
and the good guys lost
all of us ‘got feet of clay
we are tainted, corrupted
and who of us will not say
"no, not me, I will be trusted"
we've come a long way, 'never stay too long
we'll have the last word if only to be wrong
evolution has gone to hell
myopic fighting for peace
ev'ry sucker for himself
all hail, this

Price of Freedom
An old man once said:
Freedom isn’t free
As a child, I grew up,
never understanding those words.
As an adult, I learned,
the tree of freedom is watered with blood.
I thought we had paid enough.
But as trees wither without water,
so does freedom without its tribute.
As such I hoped,
we could pay with sweat and duty.
But once again-we choose red...

Trolls, Bots and Spidered Webs
Through false truth, the Rus reclaims hegemony,
Farming trolls to be enrolled,
'Neath bridges, clowns, see enemies,
Puking riddles on those tolled.
Then the bots deliver the hurl,
Regurgitate into the net,
Till truth is common as a pearl,
Yet what you see is what you get.
Spidered webs entangle yonder,
The language largely modeled,
And artificial minds are left to ponder,
Which words are

The end
Maybe it is just in my mind
But in it I find
Some of the things
Our future brings
My crazy mind does see
Things that come to be
Hurts my heart, my head
Wishing it could be different instead
High
In the sky
The light that does fly
With an an angry orange tail
And so many that follow in trail
All around the people

Where is Love?
Love is in the rain,
and among the thunder
Love is inside every bird,
shot down by a hunter.
Love touches the horizon,
wandering all around the sea
Love sits still inside every heart,
waiting to be free.
Love hangs in thick air,
creating dainty spots on grass
Love is inside every dust particle,
settling down on a carcass.
Love is among the crowd,
penetrating wide and afar
Love

Future After 1984
"Four"
Four
With that word, the world came to an end
In flames of nuclear power
That man did send
Death
Swept through Eastasia and Eurasia
The scale was tipped by one last breath
Oceania’s
Pride
Three
Three giants threw spears at each other
A scorching war destined to be
And Big Brother
Died
Nuclear sunlight beamed through cracked glass
Waking up the proles, who

Behind the Scenes of a War-torn State
The doctor’s practice went to waste
the moment that the medic faced
A call from his reserve platoon
to fight a battle all too soon

Political Enemies
The enemies of your enemies
In politics are your political friends
The friends of your enemies
Are definitely not your friends
Politics get dirtier everyday
These days, lots of people are being hurt
Politics get nastier everyday
Mad or crazy politicians have no heart
They have respect for nobody
And are concerned solely about money
Power and privilege. They will kill to win
And they will

Death of Morale
True, I do practice the act of introversion quite a bit,
But why should I be blamed? To what am I to admit
When I am not the transgressor in question?
I am not typically one to act in aggression,
Towards others in outward ways, I should say,
For, only in privacy, do I sometimes get irate,
Never to those who

The Wisdom of Age
Wisdom comes with age
So the old saying goes
But so does dementia
As the world so sadly knows.
It’s so easy to be vociferous
Brave aggressive and bold
Deferring action to others
Just because they’ve grown old
If Old Men fought the wars
Would there be quite so many
And as more of them got killed
Would there even be any.
Maybe they’d realise
It’s

Breakdown
the news breaks
the world breaks down
the sky screams savagely
the war dogs maul mercilessly
the raging rubble bounces bitterly
the apocalyptic horses gallop giddily
the rotten roof caves in catastrophically

Cursed Korea of the North
Once the green land of morning calm and high serenity
Soon waved the blood red flag, stained with the false words “We will soon be free”
Now a grey, barren mountain swallowed by Yaldabaoth’s sea

The Age of Man
The Age of Man
We carried on
The age of man
Till moon of tin bore
An electric sun
And all machines
Shone bright and clean
Keeping silent
But wanting more
Till the purpose mind
Did loose its time
In idle waves lament
Through prostitution of evolutions
A self induced torrent
Took his mind till eyes fell blind
Unraveled the very core
To spit it bright into the

For What
Healing from the desert storm-
Mouth parched and bleeding
For what
A simple thought: run and lost,
Or the sun upon the first frost
Never will it all lie still,
Until the last fish’s gill
