once upon a time, he called me Jasmine. princess,
rub my lamp to see all your wishes
come true.
i had red nails, they stained the walls as he kept saying
"you’re so lovely, you’re divine".
drown me until i fill myself with
waste and
melted snow.
maybe i am the ***** you always thought.
i walk among foggy sidewalks, breached with beer
and lust. i was once a girl who wanted it all.
now i just want a drink in one hand, yours in another,
neon lights penetrating, entering,
and you calling my name until i cannot hear anything
else.
i have demons, ghosts, parasites.
i drive them away with butcher knives and spider mascara.
won’t you stay a while,
darling?

To give up without a fair fight..

Is like being killed in the dead night
A cat ran over by a ten wheeler truck
A man playing gulf when a lightning struck
Poor mouse caught in a trap
Climbing a weathered tree and snapped
Failing an exam two or three times
Placing your hands in a reeking slime
The sea came crushing in your castle
Waiting in the line with all the hustle
Unpayed bills gives all the trouble
Cruising the Atlantic lots of wobble
Ugly presents during Christmas
Pretending you have no neck mass
I could go forever as i wrote
All i need is one Antidote

Caught up in a stormy prairie
I ought to seek the old me
Stretched my knees for me to see
Great walls built before i'm thirty

I am gone but there i am
Not a winner or a grand slam
Singing, whining, turn an old jam
Barely living without a glam

Bend and break a twisted faith
Go here not there to love not hate
Crawl, get up and stand straight
Cut loose, be free from dead weight

All seem great and scary
To keep less is more than many
What a shame yours truly
I am lost but not really

flesh and bones are casted out
feed the vessel with soul to sprout
linger in the vastness of will to live
to see the sun set what will you give?

there is evil in every tale
sing a song with hands full of ale
with great power comes mockery
great lands corrupted in poverty

rusty chains that men fortify
along ****** trails none can justify
great pain plague a noble army
a sacrifice forgotten by many

are we not the king's men?
ready to charge at a lion's den
courage forged in fear and nobility
dying to live, that's certainly

put me to sleep dear valerie
quench me with dreams so sweet
kiss me goodnight dear valerie
i'll wake up with cold feet
let's dance in trance dear valerie
held up in the sky so high
take my hand dear valerie
let's march toward the blue sky
stun me wih love dear valerie
i long to feel that warm delight
mend the bond dear valerie
you make the wrong seem right

missile testing
brainwashing
self delution
intimidation
battered women
battered chicken
cracked skulls
ugly dolls
falling rocks
flying ducks
ID photos
dying fellows
your face
the name GRACE
elephant snout
few of the many
things to be
miserable about

a second to begin with
another minute to think wild
many hours to ponder pain
a bad day has passed us by
no week left uncherished
every month our hopes collide
one year i said goodbye
no decade has sworn to try
give me a century to reckon love
i am yours forever

there's no magic
there's just hope
there's no death
there's just peace
there's no pain
there's just pretension
there's no suffering
there's just redemption
there's no luck
there's just belief
No there's nothing
there i am

we are witness to atrocities
committed by regime
over its peoples
over time



1.
we are witness..

shattering glass of reality arranged into chosen shard-feeds
like omni-gov surveillance into meticulous mind-grafts
spluttering eternal-stats for public mind control
spewing mini-truths of perpetual war raids
disillusionment of history forever *rewritten

control supply-and-demand
create dark-cloaked dilemma and monitor shortage and famine
make-believe elements so well played to auto-frenzied latch
thinking is degraded and actions.. well, less said



2.
diligent and loyal yet harbour secret-hatred
feed visions stilted by politrix
deception and manipulation
propaganda is the oleaginous-game by wand-over-mind
totalitarian is the kingpin-holder of cards
and yet, who is really being played!

eternal marionettes on a conveyor-belt
can't even play with yourself alone
your ****.. your ****.. your every move..
watched - surveyed - and studied
by that ubiquitous-bulge eye you cannot escape
right opposite your low hard-bed
you're broken into popping-parts
that YOU won't recognise!


thoughtcrime-police is gonna accost ya
get up, comrade.. get UUUUUUUUP!

we are witness
life-tube covered in darkened vapour-swirls

we are witness
children conditioned to watch their parents.. too closely

we are witness
truth so smothered, now re-fed by repeat-metaphor

we are witness
dictata.. dictata..

we are witness
austere existence in a tacky one-room flat

we are witness
subsist on black-wheat and imitation-repast

we are witness
regurgitate the party-dialect on and on and on
(after a while, we end up half-believing.. )



only the clock which strikes thirteen
can smell the charred-reality
as leftover-truth is shoved
into incendiary obsolescence




tick-a-****-tock
and that would be..
one



S T - 26 sept
two.. three.. four..

who's really subversive?

afraid?
yeah, maybe we oughta be!
(ooh, mind.. don't think too loudly now..lol)

oh, and I wonder if anyone dares to hate this poem..
(anyway, it matters little - life's too short to give a rat's **** 4 that :)

it's for the greater good
believe it!


1.
thus
we are witness..
(my broken nose tells me.. I won't be decimated)

and
we are all witness..
(heartless control reeks sidewalk-cracking dents)

then
we are witless
( .. .. .. )

hack, hack, Neanderthal
hack, HACK!

brr
it's cold..

(primal fear sets in
see how
we stigma-sell each other out)
