Gatekeeper's Lesson:
How they ridicule Jim, The neighbourhood loner: "wears a tinfoil hat" and "turns his wifi off at night" They all brand him a kook: "well, you know he's a stoner, funny coincidence though, his forecasts have proved right!"

Haiku of red + blue
One simple phrase to tear us wide                                                      apart Make us writhe and squirm                                               breathlessly Three words to promise eternal hold And leaving us aching, and sobbing to death Make us writhe and squirm                                                breathlessly Pleading and crying for a reprieve And leave us aching, and sobbing to                                                            death Ripped at the seams and naked Pleading and crying for a repreive As hostility becomes mundane Ripped at the seams and naked Lies the passionate monogamist As hostility becomes mundane Dual passions are fuelled by the                                              state of  bliss Lies the passionate monogamist Cannot see for the rage Many hear them... Three words that promise eternal hold "Divide and Conquer" One simple phrase to tear us wide apart

Three Words
When you're born, like I, to a fortunate line its vital you make best use of your time guiding the way for the impoverished below, ensuring their well-being and economies grow... How you ask? What an excellent query! The work is relentless but I remain cheery our goal of saving the uneducated poor is closer than it has ever been before! We've got Bayer for health Monsanto for food solid profitable businesses looking out for you And let's not forget the allseing EarthNow blanketing the sky with live satellite shroud designed for government and large enterprise soon everyone can trust us to be their eyes Yep, We've got you covered! We vet information so there's no danger you'll have inclination to doubt for a minute that we know what's right However, to quell confusion measures must be tight But! When this is over, just wait and see! We will emerge triumphantly A united global community Oh yes, there'll be austerity, For everyday folks not the super wealthy It's a simple case of superiority Don't worry Conditioning has ensured you will love slavery Just don't think too hard Simply listen to me

Superiority Speaks
When digging for answers I found a new level Kept shovelling deeper Ran in to the devil He offered protection He baited with vice Through his ringmaster's grin Promised Paradise Politely, I declined In peace, took my leave He tracked me and traced me Devoid of reprieve His net cast so broadly An erroneous shove What he didn't see coming Incalculable love

Digging Down Under
Mirror mirror on the wall Who will rise and who will fall? Who will suggest? Who will deride? Who promises safety? Who propagates lies? Who lives for the people? Who works for themselves? Who lines their pockets? Who's stocking the shelves? Who keeps us informed? Who knows what to do? Who has the solutions? Who prepared? Who knew? Who wonders? Who marches? Who decides what ensues? Look! Who's coming to your rescue

WHO
Olga the ostrich and Cedric the lamb Naive innocence and Head in the sand Evil Never seen, never heard and never spoken Interests unquestioned Illusions unbroken Tolerate Dont discriminate "beware theorising" The warnings were heeded Resisted surmising Cedric herded to slaughter Olga safe in her cage Medicine in the water That will mute the outrage Cedric sees what's ahead now Olga's cage welded closed Slave incumbant got here how? That's just life, I suppose.

Olga and Cedric
Haunted by words unsaid hope and fear unite The future is not written All but hidden in plain sight Innocence welcomes winds of change The calm before the storm Reform, recourse, reaction Everywhere Uniform New threat New law New normal What's done now shall it remain? Digital connection Parroted refrain Solutions from the experts Make haste, emergency! Only time can answer... For the love of philanthropy Close Disclose We distance All for our safety Report Resort to witness The price? Sweet liberty Oh! Mighty saviour on high Prophetic Algorithmic eye Who will prosper Who will perish Freedom to live or die Can it be that all around us Greed and power tighten grip? The band played on Lest we forget Down with the unsinkable ship Mother earth how she is plundered Controlled consumption now ensues Vested interest Turn a profit Are you tempted to abuse? Future still remains uncertain So much joy in every day Rite of passage Right of movement Withdraw Stay home Stay Stronger now For there are answers To the questions you may seek The truth It won't come easy Too weak Too meek To speak words of reason Oh so grateful For the seeds lovingly sown We know not what lies before us Though examples clearly shown Finding purpose in a passion Create intention with an art We all stand in time together And we each will play our part
