Hereditary Hate
Ryan O'Leary Jan 15
Everything we possess
has been passed down,
and lest we forgive, the
cells never let us forget.

Our DNA will remind us-
and GPS always locates
the where and when, but
why can not be resolved.

Time erodes nothing, the
echoes of history continue
to reverberate, and silence,
is never longer than a minute.

One thinks of flint
or the Dodgems
or railway lines
or a falling star.

Nobody strikes

cars have no plugs
don’t backfire either.

There are no forges
or no blacksmiths
even flashes in the
have become rarities.

Sparks are almost
obsolete superfluous
surplus to requirements
except in Hollywood.

            or wakes up hibernating
            flags in calls to resistance.

            Camouflaged in smoke,

            flight and so begins the

Anti Scepticism
Ryan O'Leary Jan 11
The reason I am a Halo Cast
denier is not because I am an
Atheist. The inverse in fact. I
am an Atheist because of the
Halo Cast.  I was a confirmed
believer despite my dyscalculia.

But what didn’t add up was why
would the Lord herd six million of
his super selected Halo Cast
into the glass chambre’s and if he
did, does it mean that we are to
accept that it was an Act Of God?

If the latter is correct, then #itler
was no different to Pontius Pilate
The Roman Governor who by all
accounts ordered the crucifixion
of I.R.N.I. So I got suspicious and
deduced that, God is an Anti Sceptic.

Attention Span

The period between
two thoughts requires
holding because the
suspense of suspension
has the potential to
overwhelm most MSM’s.

Mind The Gap

The longest period
between two sounds
is a minutes silence.
Echoes have been
trying to break this
record unsuccessfully.

Day Break

Periods of incarceration
are applicable to more
than mere prisoners.
Hibernia was the hibernation
that escaped a dark empire
and ushered in its demise.

Time and Tide

Tides are practice runs for
deluges and tsunamis just
as The Al-Aqsa Flood took
the world by storm and yet
another evil empire quakes
a future eternity aftershock.

Destin ou Provenance
                 ?

First thing a man stops
doing when he begins
to get depressed is he
abandons the ablutions.

The three O’Clock
shadow matures into a
stubble then a beard.

By hiding ones self there
is no need to-see the
reflection, It is foetal time.

Rooms darken, minds dim.

But as in nearly all cases
a rude renaissance occurs.

There is the inevitable baulk of
looking in the silver lined glass
frame without a picture, and
preparing to rejoin the world.

The hot tap is engaged, there
is a rummage around for a BIC.

By the time we are finally
ready to confront ourselves

Fear
Ryan O'Leary Jan 8
The first thing men stop
doing when they begin
to get depressed is they
cease washing & shaving.

The three o’ clock
shadow matures into a
stubble then a beard,

By hiding the face there
is no need to-see ones
reflection in the looking
glass. It is foetal time.

Rooms darken, minds dim.

But as in nearly all cases
a rude renaissance occurs.

There is the eventual fear
of facing the mirror, then of
shaving, and joining the world.

The hot tap is engaged, there
is a rummage around for the BIC.

By the time you’re ready to confront
whom you have been hiding from,

The glass has fog misted over!

Ireland

If only memories
Would disappear
As easy, history
And nostalgia is
In the DNA of us
All. The idiot has
No such anchor.

Ireland’s a concept
More than a country.

Future generations
Won’t need to suffer
The pain of passion.

Being diluted by the
Influx of refugees is
A necessity for the
Gene pool, it will end
The incestuous island
Mentally which has
Isolated our minds for
Centuries.

Acronyms
Ryan O'Leary Jan 7
Mynorca, as of now is a reverse
Acronym, Qantas IKEA & Yahoo
are also but they’re not contrary.

Scuba is not a fish lest you think
it is what the divers are seeking.

And Spam is a carnivore product,
appears not, on herbivore Apples.

It’s an urban myth, misconception
of the populist that save our souls
means SOS, and also an acronym.

NASA is but it does not mean they
are Needing Another 7 Astronauts!

Incisors

Can what you eat
change your mind?

Every single person
was born herbivore.

We ate meat, but some
of us became vegetarian.

There are no false teeth
in the animal kingdom.

Human incisors are not for
carni but for opening knots!

When Victor Mature refused
to go in a cage with a Lion, in

The Big Circus, 1959, they said
they’d remove the animals teeth.

Mature’s response “I won’t go in, I
don’t want to be gummed to death”.

Brass Papillons
Ryan O'Leary Jan 6
When I think back at all
The situations that come
To mind, bad butterflies
Take flight in my stomach.

Rabbie Burns never left
Scotland, almost went to
The Caribbean once, with
The famous highland Mary.

He said that poetry is like
Shepherding sheep and one
has to attend to his flock in
A sustainable environment.

There is a statue of the bard
In Dunedin, but he never went
There and this is why the title
Of the poem is brass papillons.
