The spiritual horror of psychological torture
When the mind slowly decays It doesn’t just affect the mind It affects the body, the spirit, the soul The spiritual horror of psychological torture Is how you treated black people The way you penetrated our minds with accusations of inferiority Treating us less than animals Less than the dirt on your shoes Generation after generation You have tortured my people Psychological...

Life is a battlefield
This life is a fierce battlefield, Little did I know before my birth, My weapons should have been better honed, So no earthly force could conquer me. Friends I made while I was nobody, Turned to foes when I sought to be somebody, Those I loved with all my heart and soul Blew pepper in my eyes when vision blurred. Deceit...

GANGSTALKING AND ABUSE
Gangstalking is very inhumane Almost always leaving you insane Nobody seems to help or care Onlookers just sit and stare Echoes of fear, no place to be free Puzzled by what they hear and see Lost in shadows, yearning for dawn Victims missing and presumed gone Dreams whispered, seeking a sign Unpleasant life is anything but fine Echoes of hope, faint but still alive Unaware of...

UNITED DISGRACE OF AMERICA
Now how can this truly be After so many complaints that the public can’t see There are victims here a there And people have been known to stare Victims whose torture is day and day out Making a good many people shout The torture has no rhyme or reason And can happen during any season Victims lives fall into the wrong hand Rendering the...

ELECTRONIC TORTURE
All through the night Nothing feels right The static sound in left ear Enticing a certain kind of fear Your body feels like it has a current of electricity The Book MK Tech explained it with complexity Never finding anything as a protector When your body is setting off EF on a detector The mind starts to fret and...

Premium Member Evin Prison
Khaled was a bodybuilding champ in Iran A photo shows a smiling and very strong man Then in Evin Prison, at the mercy of nasty folk His spine fractured, kidneys failed, heart was harmed, leg was broke. Evin is a bad place, 113 degrees and no A.C. I'm sure you can think of better places to be One woman tells us...

Premium Member Nemesis
"I'll take you," said Lopez, "to the man who "has tormented you since you were 42 You'll see his face, you'll get to speak— "But don't try anything, he's strong and you're weak." So we went down the big hall, to the underground caves We went miles into the caverns, under old graves And there was nemesis, not like a TV...

Black Eyes Closed
Black eyes smile down, a frown The voices in my head of silent sound Live weird connected without ground Look around at all the nothing I've found Eyes tired unfocused and uninspired Teeth pulling pliers torture tools for hire Liars, so many liars, flash flooded fires The leper that was so very admired Eyes closed, on the back of eyelids now froze The red...

Clinch Fist Pillow Cuddle
Machine gun heart riddled with shades of grey. A mind once sharpened by your own forked tongue. Lovers' lips part with rumbles of a cannon. Dew licked satin sheets - the highway to carnal desire. Silhouettes of freshly washed skin dance in the night. Passion rising like the souls of the departed. Where do you sleep after your thirst is quenched? Where...

Pushing Dead Daisies
The skin remembers, even when the mind tries to forget Scars etched deeper than bone, a roadmap of agony They say time heals all wounds, they lie Time only buries them deeper under the layer of lies I used to feel joy and sorrow, life danced with empathy Now? A hollow echo in a vacant music hall Hope, they ripped it...

The Tendrils of Evil
Shadows linger like tendrils in my mind Nobody escapes the fingers of death Rooted in your soul, planted in your being Seeing is not always believing, it's deceiving Captured like a picture, photo of the truth Manipulated into reality that lies the proof The entity behind the scenes, conspiring Life lived unowned, the robot is tiring Shadows never shade, shadows of...

Murders in Mumford Part 1
A love twisted in a high school romance, Both fixated on puppy dog eyes, Skipping classes followed by lies, Predictions to never be seperated, Only as much as parents tolerated, They would run if given the chance, Upon a mellow river rusted a louring mill, Dim lit repairs by a scarecrow of a man, Alongside the river it was a small span, As skeletal...

Laundry Day
You seem a bit too Monday for someone who used to sway with much colour Wake, my dear, the day awaits, And with it comes white shirts the colour of mud and black jeans the colour of white shirts for you to wring and squeeze and wring – it’s a Saturday Pick your shoulders up from the floor, square them to the...
