Today we shall have a new prime minister and I think the change will be good the current one has become a little sinister not really doing the job as it should. We can all debate it as much as we like but the majority of the people will decide the voice of conscience in their psyche shall determine who'll then next preside. For some it'll be quite a welcomed relief to see the long-awaited change take place and seem like an outcome of their belief a manifestation due to the power of Grace. It's sometimes hard to know who will win and if that person who does is the best with all the political parties wearing thin their elected leader shall be put to the test. The democratic process of electing a government to manage and control the affairs of a country should be one that fosters such an establishment for the benefit of all the people however sundry. _________________________

"The Devil is a thief in the night Come to steal and to destroy." "He comes in figures of humans To lie and to malign you." "The tanks of the Devil Will hound our streets." "Dream of Revelation For worry is a sin." "I rebuke you Satan In the Name of Jesus." "I bind You Cast you back unto  Hell." Words, Wise, Wisdom; Nor, Not. Never. No. Twines that bind and lies that twist. Hip and dip, Into *** Land. Crash course: Human 101. No need for Christian 100. Pass Go, no $200. Getting free to be unfree in a free sort of way.

The Founding Father
Trigger warningVery disturbing* Dear sir, I write to you at a time when Bloodshed has become a trending hashtag. When genocide is another word for good morning. When a mosquito bite has resulted in a bird flu and the bird owner has been quarantined. "The bird should be discarded" you decree. On its wings it conveyed passion, ideas and businesses. A confidant, a pillar it has become. A pillar of support no government parastatal offered. I write that you reconsider for from my little knowledge, no one can cage a bird. It is meant for the skies so let it fly. Yours faithfully, a very lazy youth. @poeticifi

LET THIS BIRD FLY
The blue cat sits over the moon beside the vase of gun and fire flaker. under the wanting desires  Invisible Dragons Eyes are cruising Waves come in and out, crash Switch on and off and then recede again Is the parasympathetic nervous system activated? Roar…  Miao...! The white lion stands in the wind of a deep violet night 
Ancient PaPa flies through the clouds  He cried for his blue cat: No more crimes. No need for detention May everyone is happy. No more thoughts of confusions Everyone can be comfortable with their own reflection Roar…  Miao... Yet it counts, this one  cat filling our courage of days Experiencing Ourselves, One cat at a time.

End Of Our Democracy
You said we could vote And the verdict - You would Protexit, You said that - Brexit Means Brexit, You said to trust you To take us to the Exit. So why did you decide to Hexit, Slow it down and Perplexit, So confuse and Complexit, Try and reverse and then Wrexit, With you we now feel very Vexit, So now stop your betrayal, It’s time for you to Corexit. It’s simple enough, Brexit does mean Brexit So save our democracy, And please, please - Just Exit!

Bernie Sanders hatched a scheme to rant an old progressive theme. He left the greening mountain heights to bellow forth for Social Rights descending to our nation's valleys milking the faithful at his rallies. Mr. Sanders sold the farm, sounded socialist alarm; Trading professorial tweeds for bloviating human needs. He set the lefties all a-twitter bartering the sweet for bitter. He glared through academic glasses at the doubtful working classes wondering why they failed to note just why and how they ought to vote. Sanders patched up race-relations fixing holes with reparations, working up his magic wonder: horsey voice of righteous thunder till the clouds hung heavy and gray portent of a darker day... Warming up leftover Hope he spared no change for hangman's rope, sputtering on, he blew a gasket redistributing our basket scolding, bellowing, pumping fist and waving fingers from the wrist like politburo retro-chic a tousled old white-headed freak.
