Electronic keys and hacking tools
Gloves mask and absolutely no rules
Except of course to not get caught
To stay the course not get lost
Strip it and zip it or rip it off
The man in the elevator was all a flush
A lady just told him pull your zipper up
He hadn’t noticed his fly was open wide
For looking at a woman he thought a DD breast size
He turned facing the rear to quickly zip it up
But then unluckily dear his Willy got stuck
He let out a scream and then passed gas
The people weren’t mean but all had to laugh
Someday I'll have
said all I have to say
but until then...
Hand me the microphone
let me speak my piece
without interruption without hesitation
Sit back and zip it
take a break
it's my turn
AP: Honorable Mention 2026
There's a hole in the fabric of my universe
Sometimes I slip inside and zip it up
Time loses meaning here
no future, no past
The present in this space is only an imaginary playground between the two
Life isn't linear
Moments of laughter, moments of pain float around me in their bubbles
Feelings are relics stacked on shelves where I can seperate them from myself
I have thoughts about the dust but this is my space, and my collection
Away from the world and its deadlines
Alone with my musings
And you
Always you

If your Bible has tough rules only for women then you lost your authority; zip it.

Politicians who lead lives contrary to the bible ought to zip up to stop staining Jesus's name

If Christians only talk abortion and female sins, I cannot be a Christian.
I'm DONE
I cried myself
To sleep, last night.
And when I woke,
My eyes were a puffy sight.
I couldn't see much
But, I could see this:
I'm DONE.
Because...
I won't choose
You over her.
I won't choose
You over them.
And Fauck!
I won't choose
YOU over ME!
Nigga!!!!!
I'm DONE!
Because....
The good that you did,
Can't rise above
The b¡tchassness
That you hid.
And, I'm DONE!
Because.... Nigga, WHYYYY?
Because.... I need answers
That you ain't giving.
Because.... Fauck You!
And, if they had a clue...
Fauck your Brothers, Sisters, Cousins,
And, Fauck your mama too!
Because, I'm DONE.
Maybe y'all are ALL broken, shoo....
And, I'm not a A$$hole-Repairwoman...
Sooooo, I ain't trying to fix you.
What? No. Nevermind.
I don't even wanna hear it.
I'm DONE.
Zip it.
I'm DONE.
Shhhhhhh.....
I'm DONE.
You need this win?
Cool. I lost. You won.
But, I'm DONE.

A grizzly isn't really, as bad as he's made out
He wanders round the parklands, when no humans are about
But there are times of course, we meet him in his home
We can't blame him for being there, it is on his land we roam
Open up your tent flap, and see the big brown bear
Close it quickly zip it up, you must not meet his stare
He would not come to campsites, if nothing for him there
After he had looked around, he would go elsewhere
He has that special odour, you can tell where he has been
You sense that he was at your camp, even though not seen
That is why statistics, that are often known to lie
Can this time tell the Gods own truth, so very few will die
So when you stay in National Parks, or even just 'Out There'
Leave a pristine place behind you, leave nothing for the bear
We can do it safely, out camping in the bush
If we just use some common sense, not give our luck a push
So there is that big brown bear, sexes named as hogs
Does little of the damage, of domesticated dogs
But he is big and looks so fierce, he takes a lot of blame
Should he vanish then this earth, would never be the same
there once was an aardvark with quite a tongue
he has used it well since he was young
zip it here
and zap it there
many a poor ant has been stung
Conversed with one who talked gobbledygook,
his mouth overflowed like a babbling brook,
so while his words don't impress
I had to escape this mess...
Excuse me, your fly is undone - just look!
Skin of innocence
adultery in a garden of villages.
Where plants preach nature in pollution,
lovingly clashing colors
. coffins laid in mirrors.
My unveiling in my confidence, after life was the unknown.
that day I lost my breath.
lost my tongue.
I rained colors of metal, I stabbed myself in the bag
.Zip it all.
I was confused between two bridges,I looked south(down)on a verse tales of the worse signed a curse on.
I was of habits written in " sins but clean. Cohabitant"ed" heart beats an- examrooms.
Diaries in the membrane asks questions a lot of papers.
I thought I knew nature too.
Who was I going to be?
I am not Moses. I preach not, but allow me narration... I was a little brat. Perfecting my tools.
Sanding my imperfections in in a foundation of none existing brick.
Embracing a slummish home. Hugging on my soiled bricks.
Though i looked far uglier than a plot, I believe in a blank dream I was telling my story.
Mirrors couldn't term my existence.
....skin of innocence
Nothing is ever black and white,
Definitely,
...I think.
Who am I to speak - zip it...
...
...for now.
I'm not going to lose my head over it.
Well I won't
...but she just might.
Wrong guy.
All the times i had called you,
it seemed like you didn't hear,
Call it silence or deafness,
Delete the mindset of me being yours,,
Either you leave me or i'll stuck you,
i have nothing to say to you,
Got much more projects to work on,
Highlight them is what i'll do,
In case you forgot something,
Just text me only so i'll,
Kick them out to you,
let me just be sincere,
My mind is made up,
Nothing, i mean nothing can change it,
Other than me,
Perhaps i wouldn't do such,
Que up, if you want to see me,
Rest if you loose your strength,
Stand back up, when you are done,
To me you are nothing important,
Unless you turn into an angel,
Variably that can not happen,
Would just be a waste of high hopes,
X-ray is what i'll try because ,
Your heart is really shifted,
Zip it up, that's my advice.
From the gate of the zip it sure will poke
cos a bare in gown saps all aeration
this jinx of self made lust isn’t a joke
fine legs can put him into commotion
sees her ins like a wool in fair mix’d coke
then the eyes stay put to this diversion
as the mind rots in the mud it is soaked
her head to toe in view for selection
the hand will love to slap a rear when near
he sees all not to be seen from a pear
and puts the mind to an aged long wear and tear
in each pump, some rise emit to blow
so much heat even amid much snow
his open face gets down to stay that low.
I'm a poet
And I know it
I don't show it
I won't blow it
It's a secret
You're gonna keep it
You're gonna zip it
Or someone'll know these lyrics
And so will the spirit
So don't spill it
