Divide and Rule
the heinous ploy that saw The Boston Tea Party
and made the loss of a continent to the crown
divide and rule
and leave the legacies of war, corruption and death
millions perishing and nations and cultures ruined
Divide and Rule
The Raj came and went and left a prosperous Nation
split in two
At war today as when lines were drawn and poison sown
Divide and Rule
and today in next door land of Sea and Leprechauns
a divide still rages as brothers and brothers set to war
Divide and Rule
everything from Religion, race, gender, ***, creed, minds
hearts, nothing is spare
and they glorified and did as they could and took as they could
and they sold it into the hearts of their own and called it
blue and Red, poor and rich, black and white and put it in their water
and rabid Hate became a gene in all of them in mindless throes
Now the Hens are coming to roost
Europe is aflame and trenches dug again
At home brothers are fighting brothers
neighbours are at war and businesses in panic
the Nation divided, the people divided
we shall reap what we sow in re-visitations
And in the little picture of little minds
a ****** wakes up propagating divisions
between two ordinary humans he knows not
who neither harmed or offended him and he has never even met
And sadly and pitifully
He knows not that he is very sick in mind, body and soul........!

Persistence is the key
but the doors have no key-holes
Leave the child who persist in emptying the ocean
with a tea cup
after enough toing and froing perchance aching legs
and tired feet
will remind Persistence there are keys that locks
mindless doors.......

Do not tarnish the ones embracing contentment
or the settled spirit who finds life in settlement
they are not still looking for themselves or something
not hopping from doors to doors searching for what
no restlessness to satiate in lustful crazes and cheap wines
no secrets to bury in false laughter and fake interactions
and in luck they propagate and leave legacies that fulfills
So sing no sad hymns for the routined and the settlers
reasons why they are called the Keepers are quite simple
look around you and see the block-rounders tending baggages
minds now wrought in regrets and bodies once admired now a shell
while most Keepers in rewarding eves sees younger thems full of love
and happy memories of a life well lived in the light of respect and a love real and true

The Pope talks and people listen
because they love and respect a man of God
All Presidents talk and people listen
because they has been given the mandate to rule
The Teachers talk and most learners listen
because they know they want to acquire knowledge
Parents talk and children listen
because they are guided and trained
The Police talk and most will listen
because they serve and protect us and the Law
The Clergies and heads of Faiths talks and followers listen
because they believe they are representatives of the Faiths
A lover talks and the partner listens
because they love and care about each other
Nonentities, angst-ed, frustrated, envious jealous, semi-illiterate
weak, ignorant, bigoted, racist, inadequate bunch of pale-faced
cowards talk and trolls
Please tell why should anyone listen or care
You have to be respected, informed and appreciated
to earn my attention
How many of us have stopped to listen
to that poor ***** seated by the street corner
Talented people are thinking suicide because of Twitter trolls
cowardly insane inadequate bullies are driving innocents to death
No way in a thousand years will I succumb to sick inferiors
their words do not register with me
why, tell me would worthlessness have meaning
I am too worthy for that and I know it undoubtedly
Like I know who my parents, the Pope, the Presidents, my Teachers, my Priests, myself and other worthy people are....

In the shallow the shallows go
wearing snazzy goggles made in Dumbfound land
and they wrote litanies in praises of the clowns they are
for it is the age of the blind-sighted and me-too can be us-too
because those ****** Elitist has robbed everyone of us too much
we want equal distribution of wealth for us Westerners have suffered enough....
The equatorial people are too much
they are stealing our sunshine, rain and drought
they've taken all the natural tans in world to use for themselves
and have a secret supply of slimming pills cause most look so slim
look how they have all the wars, famine and pestilence they're greedy
and then they come to the West and steal from us poor underfed people

In the shallow the shallows go.......

One Man Sublime was there
The Ridiculous Thousands trampled along too
the game started and the play continued for over thirty years
One Man Sublime was always ahead despite various fouls and *****-play
The Ridiculous Thousands threw everything including the kitchen sink at One Man Sublime, no inch, no quarter given
One Man Sublime held on to the lead with astonishing skill and grace style, clever footwork and eh....sublime moves
The Ridiculous Thousand were frustrated, outplayed and ill-mannered, loutish and lacking proper training, it was all brawn
And on so many occasions, TRT were left with eggs on their faces
One Man Sublime showed so much class, a performance on note
Never once too troubled, flagging or outplayed
Cream always rises to the top, they say and this was the case here

At half-time
One Man Sublime was head and shoulders above
The Ridiculous Thousands were foul-mouthed flaggers,
they were hurling all types of negativeness, sore angry juveniles
out-classed all the way by One Man Sublime
At Interview One Man Sublime said...
Hey! you can't put a good man down, I just played it straight, fair and true, it was that simple
Yes, they did nasty, totally unpleasant and absolutely illegal plays,
but you expect that from nasty people, and they are ill-bred and nasty
The Ridiculous thousands grunted, the majority always wins
we are the majority, end off
One Man Sublime, replied....How charming, whats sublime about that!!..............

A being with hackneyed obsession
shows a lack of wholesome progression
and proclaims to light of thoughts a regression
lesser senses and a missing link to enlightenment and passion
the superfluous dilettante overcompensating inherent omissions
id of the heathen assuming superego parlance in rut manifestation
peel the scales from mental specialist eyes and expose anachronism in gestation
the obsessive pretentious seeking adulation to hide a hide with no sophistication
