Sick

I’m so sick of
That nesquick
Caramel candy
That thickens our blood
****** sin birth
The bleached sugar
Kills my DNA
And burns out
My brain cells

I’m so sick of
That oil slick addiction
Fire breathing
Dragon needing
Four wheeled monsters
Till their horns
Burn my ears

I’m so sick of
That apathy
That tortures me
But not them
I’m nauseas
Cautious cause
Of the disposition
Of the disposable
Disenfranchised
Human herd

I’m so sick of
My desperation
Struggling to fill this nation
With wit and wisdom
To build a new kingdom
With no royalty or kingsmen
But kinship
And friendship

Maybe I’m just sick

Breakout

I am doomed to these four walls.
The kind that are stained with the sinister colour of hate, but filled with the stench of entrapment.
A prisoner  to this war of racing thoughts and self loathing.
I'm shackled with a chain, and at the end of it, is weight of my
remorseful regrets.
A person can go mad on such conditions.
Like bats in the belfry.
But I cope with the worse intentions that I blankly dispatch such events, and call in the wrecking ball.
Operation with the actions to break and have a calling of  destruction to these ******* walls.
Just remember you caused that structure.
So now I embrace this freedom with a ******* held higher than the pedestal you thought you reigned so high on.
You ****** me up.
You once  held me higher than I thought I could climb, but now I just say no.
Your eyes enlighten me with such serenity, but now I see the trickery behind them.
I know now what wasn't true.
I know now what wasn't real.
I know now your title will always be a harlot with an addiction of  lust  like intentions, so lay in your bed of filthy lies.
I know now what ******* **** you truly  are.
I know now I'm free.

A PLACE IN THE SUN

WOULD  YOU  LIKE  TO  READ  MY  SECOND  NOVEL?
OF  COURSE - WHAT  HAPPENED  TO  THE  FIRST  ONE?
IT'S  GATHERING  DUST - ONE  DAY  I  MUST
PURSUE  ANOTHER  PUBLISHER  BUT  MEANWHILE
I'LL  LIVE  IN  THE  SUN,  AND  TRY  TO
GET  SO  MUCH  WRITING  DONE;  A  LONELY
JOB - LOCKED  AWAY  FOR  SO  LONG,  OFTEN
THE  WORDS  ARE  WRONG - SO  RE - WRITE,
UNTIL  THE  TEXT  HAS  THE  RIGHT  BITE;
THEN - A  WALK  BY  THE  SEA,  THINKING
HOW  THINGS  COULD  BE - IN  THE  STORY
AND  FOR  REAL,  SOMETIMES  IT'S  THE  SAME  DEAL,
NO  MATTER,  LOVE  ON  PAPER'S  NOT  THE  SAME,
BUT  IF  IT'S  NOT  RIGHT - YOU  CAN  DO  IT  AGAIN!

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!

FLAT SCREENING

YOU'RE  WIDER  NOW,  SHORTER,  BUT  THE  STORY'S
THE  SAME - YOU  WONDER  IF  THERE'S  ANY  GAIN
FROM  CLEARER  VISION  OR  IS  IT  STILL  INDECISION?
THERE  WAS  A  PLASMA  ON  THE  WALL  PLUS
ONE  IN  THE  HALL  WITH  NO  PROBLEM  AT  ALL,
I'M  GLAD  YOU'RE  SHARPER,  STANDING  OUT  FROM
THE  CROWD - WE  CAN  SEE  THAT  YOU'RE  WELL  ENDOWED,
IN  FACT,  ONE  DAY  THEY'LL  BE  NO  SCREEN
AT  ALL - NEARLY  EVERYONE  WILL  BE  ON  CALL,
EXTRAS  STANDING  BY  READY  TO  JOIN  THE  'SKY';
I  DON'T  MIND - SOME  OF  US  MAY  BE  AN
IMPROVEMENT,  ARROGANT,  IMPUDENT  AND  PETULANT,
NOBODY  REALLY  UNDERSTANDING  WHAT'S  MEANT
BY  A  FLAT  RATE - THAT'S  ALL YOU'LL GET  WHILE  YOU  WAIT.

PUBLISHED

YOU  CAN'T  STOP  ME - I'M  GOING  TO  PUBLISH
BY  WHATEVER  MEANS  POSSIBE - JUST  YOU  SEE,
IT'S  NOT  TOO  MUCH  TO  ASK - I  DON'T  WANT  FAME,
THERE'S  NO  ONE  LEFT  TO  BLAME  -  ONLY  ME;
I  WASTED  TIME - YOU'RE  NO  FRIEND  OF  MINE,
AND  WHEN  IT'S  DONE  I'LL  TELL  YOU  HOW  IT  WAS,
I'LL  TELL YOU  WHAT  YOU  HAVE  TO  DO - NEVER
MIND  RANDOM  HOUSE,  OLYMPIA  OR  ANY  OF  THEM,
SUCH  A  RELIEF  TO  DO  SOMETHING  BEFORE  I  GO,
BEFORE  TIME  RUNS  OUT,  BEFORE  MY  LAST  SHOUT;
EVEN  THEN  I  WILL  NOT  BE  FAZED  -  I  KNOW
IT  WAS  GOOD;  I  KNOW  MY  SOUL  WAS  POURED  OUT,
WHAT  HAVE  YOU  DONE - IS  THERE  ANYTHING  TO  CRY  ABOUT?
NO,  THERE  IS  NOT,  I'M  HOLDING  A  COPY  IN  MY  HAND.

( E ) QUALITY

TWO DIFFERENT WORDS - THE DIFFERENCE IS ABSURD,
I''VE FORGOTTEN 'IN' AND NOW THERE'S A THIRD,
WE KNOW WHAT'S BEST AND ALSO WHAT'S EQUAL,
BUT MAYBE INEQUALITY BECOMES A DOUBTFUL SEQUEL;
ALL THIS RHETORIC IS BORING - I HEAR YOU SNORING,
AMAZING ALL THE NONSENSE YOU READ WHEN PORING
OVER SOMEONE'S TREATISE BUT WHOSE TO SAY 'BOO,'
IT''S WRITTEN LIKE ROTE AND NO ONE CAN CHANGE A THING;
NE ' ER MIND, YOU TAKE WHAT YOU CAN FROM THE ERUDITE MAN,
SUDDENLY I FEEL SORRY FOR THE MIND OF AN ARTISAN,
EVERYONE IS MISSING SO MUCH - THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT
'QUALITY' MEANS, NOT SURE OF INEQUALITY, IT'S A PITY
THAT 'EQUALITY' IS NOT THERE, LET THEM STAND AND STARE;
YOU'LL KNOW THAT THEY'LL JUST SAY - 'I REALLY DON'T CARE.'
