"aristocracy" poems
This specific autumnal celebration is characterised by throbbing obscenities, where a masquerade of piety resembles the trembling jester as he performs before medieval royalty. Oh, to witness the salmon run in Northern ecosystems where the caniform classification stands in a dominant stance at the edge of the falls. So, my independent and competitive contemporary, let us bow with sober reflection at those anthropological schools who swim upstream in this spiritual river in the vain pursuit of unattainable freedom. Today, on this second Monday of October, the name of the game has been brutally ***** by propagandist salesmen. So, at this juncture of existential consumerism, we stand within the jaws of our ever-smiling aristocracy. But, if you dare to open your eyes, my friend of unfathomable denial; you will find that the tradition is called Thanksgiving.

The Gratitude of Consumerism
1627 The pedigree of Honey Does not concern the Bee, Nor lineage of Ecstasy Delay the Butterfly On spangle journeys to the peak Of some perceiveless thing— The right of way to Tripoli A more essential thing. — The Pedigree of Honey Does not concern the Bee— A Clover, any time, to him, Is Aristocracy—

Democracy
143 For every Bird a Nest— Wherefore in timid quest Some little Wren goes seeking round— Wherefore when boughs are free— Households in every tree— Pilgrim be found? Perhaps a home too high— Ah Aristocracy! The little Wren desires— Perhaps of twig so fine— Of twine e’en superfine, Her pride aspires— The Lark is not ashamed To build upon the ground Her modest house— Yet who of all the throng Dancing around the sun Does so rejoice?

For every Bird a Nest
American Democracy is setting a trend: American Democracy is a Sitcom, or perhaps a Game Show of demagogic, narcissistic sociopaths tricking and manipulating the Public via various sources in a highly consolidated Media industry into thinking they vote for a particular flavor of Tyranny when in reality Today's flavor of Tyranny is all decided for you because the burden of Choice is far too stressful for the Moderner without proper medication, and the power of Choice may require some sort of educated critical Thinking, some sort of re-edification which is far too much for us to handle in this socially sanctioned doped-up state and with such an intentionally failing Education system from K through 12 and beyond. With American Democracy, We have a grand Illusion of Choice. It's so convincing that many believe the Illusion is True. (Sort of like hew we think of Reality, but with Choice of Government!) For American Democracy, They don't want mass Education. They don't want mass Edification. They don't want Critical Thinking; Those things prevent a Control by few. In American Democracy, They intentionally destroy progresses made, like Rights, They perpetuate stigmas about things like genders and the concept of "race" itself They propagate Terror as their Sheeple scream from the sidelines for more They defile the sanctity of Human Experience, of Reality itself and chain us to a system that benefits only a few while destroying everything else, like Climate and Environment. These Demagogues are Satan, if Satan is real: They tempt us with the things we don't need, filling us with Stress, Desires, Prejudices and Fears, and ceaselessly wage war on institutions of Education, all the while keeping us from finding the things we already have within each of us. This System of American Democracy has degraded into a  corrupted fractal of the ages-old ways of Tyranny and Terror: Aristocracy, Plutocracy, Patriarchy, Oligarchy, Kleptocracy, Demagoguery, Bankocracy, Corporatocracy, Fascism; Tell me, What is the ******* difference? I mean, even Adolf ****** was elected democratically under the pretense of "Change" then, for weeks later, suspended civil rights indefinitely after a likely false-flag 'attack' on the Reichstag in 1933, (for which the Nazis blamed the communists.) under the pretense of "Security": Demagoguery runs Amok Among disedified Minds. They say "Freedom" and "Democracy" as if it vindicates their Totalitarianism.

**** This ****
Melting madness and shimmering isles The bubble-gum boils in drug pedophiles Let's teach the East to love Western style We come in with strap-on's and pillage with smiles The rest of the world watches their watches People keep saying we're at hour eleven We're changing the design on our gold lockets From a heart to a blackjack, Seven Seven Seven! The college boys assure you that they know the lyrics And the meanings behind them for they've been enlightened They swarm out like locusts and pretentiously parrot Verbatim the textbooks they read when they're frightened That they'll die with nothing to show for their efforts They want everyone else in the world to remember That they did exist on some scale of importance Even though we're just spun yarn of grass, dirt and oceans Intelligence streams the consciousness seeds and conscientious objectors it seems So pardon me for the fallacy of pardoning tyrannical dictator queens It seems these days to be discovered you need to cheat on your spouse or your lover You'd think that with all the war crimes we've seen we would have hung at least one or the other We've got two parties, so pick one or scram! (Look at them squirm as fast as they can!) They're starting to think for themselves again! Quick, strangle the market and feed this man Acid and bath salts and give him some tear gas and send him on in to disarm the smear traps And **** everyone so we'll jump to conclusion with no where to turn, the final solution! I'm drunk again and we're falling in, the shoreline is riddled with explosions We don't speak of the war, we have no comment, we're almost out of original content We're frantically searching for a brand new contest to prove that our nation is still the best Whether you're China, Russia, Israel, Pakistan, the U.K., or India, the U.S. or Japan Let's take all the gangbanging **** out of Oakland and drop them in to the Atlantic Ocean Or better yet, set them loose in Uganda, let's see how long they last in Rwanda. I'm done with religion and socialized medicine, this aristocracy of pull and deception So for once in our lifetimes, let's seek a vision, because God knows people can't make ******* decisions.

No, no, no, that's not how it happened at all. Precocious children have never been afforded that much influence and Emperors, then as now are largely unafflicted by shame. And it's a good thing too - why, if the story had gone the way Anderson had it, neither I nor any of the men of the town would have our jobs at the Magic Cloth factory You do realise that the trade in Magic Cloth supports all the world's major economies now, don't you? Nor would the aristocracy look half so stylish, sashaying hither and thon in the glorious altogether, applauded by the taste-makers and notably contemptuous of child-like observation.

The Emperor's New Clothes
There is a weird And not so wonderful fetish Particularly British Common Amongst commoners In the United Kingdom Although the aristocracy And royalty Are seen by all With eyes to see To have behaved Abominally Tortured and twisted Enslaved, enchained ***** re-shaped With bloodstained hands The entire planet Sending ordinary More innocent English men To do their ***** work Their dastardly Disastrous deeds As slaves of knaves Through common British eyes These horrible people Are placed high upon Holy pedestals Romanticized Idealized, Idolized Canonized Perhaps there's some Vicarious thrill Exercising Enforcing Power and evil will? But the hand no pleasure gets When, through rubbing, wets itself! Sean Hunt Windermere January 1st 2016

THE BRITISH FETISH
The first great war took many people But it was just a start for worse It took the best of us, the livers To revolution's ****** horse This war erased aristocracy This war had eat my own home land Kurmysh was town at Sura river Untill they came, soviet's undead A part of us was pushed from home lands Another part had shot in head They called themselves a freedom bringers But that was thing old Lenin said While winners write the history The truth becomes a mystery Then bandits become heroes And heroes gone to dust And now, the robbers, killers Are called a freedom givers In part of lost empire Ukraine, which now are sold

rewritten history
and in these moments, of feeling lost enough, i find myself turning to the tones that narrate my adolescence, the ones I know every small shade to. the way the tongue dipped to form those kiwi sounds, brings on peace like childhood nostalgia, dripping in rich indigo and sparkling lavender. i crawl inside of them, rewatching the story a thousand times over, feeling the anticipation of the tide's rise and fall, deep down in my soul. As whispers of aristocracy, teenage anarchy, broken lovers, and reeling nights, take me home to my heart, and I feel known.

Focus deeply into the historical crevices of granite Scottish castles, because secrets lie within the virginity of undiscovered mockery. Therefore, my friend, plant your vegetation and cultivate the ground, where spiritual significance is a mere contemporary homage to something that is treacherously misunderstood. Spin the wheels of fortune, and never forget the importance of baking bread at the correct temperature.

Fleeting Reminiscences of Aristocracy
Don't get me wrong I love the Bachelor and the Bachelorette The getaways The fun dates the good looking people But is it that's what's wrong with dating today? Instead of worthiness We're in it for the pic what looks best on instagram while inside we yearn for contentedness But restlessness is what we're given got to keep up with the joneses we're afraid to let ourselves feel for people based on status Is it a twilight zone scene can't be because it's around from the beginning ancient royals doing the same but now we're in a modern aristocracy So I'll turn off the Bachelorette tonight I don't need fancy I need supportive and sweet In it for the long haul and loves me wholly Miss me with the fake love and give me the real

The Bachelorette
The banker sits for his lunch. He sits with his superiors. They ask, “how do you?” He replies, “Good, and you sir?” After pleasantries comes food. Everyone ordered a salad. Food is picked at with dashes of chatter. After food comes business. Business among superiors. The banker sits quietly using his wasted acting talents on feigning interest. He twiddles thumbs, smacks gums, and adjusts weight from one flank to the other. The bored banker nods conformatively. When addressed, his name varies from Tim to Tom to Jack. They were close it was Al. He fills in facts and numbers the optimates don’t care to recall themselves. It’s the only use he has at lunch. Those superior to the banker could have brought his report he made up for this occasion. But, there is an air of aristocracy when one has a serf accompany his master to a meeting of patricians. Like all courtly meetings, the barons and governors hide slights in compliments, cloak ambition in kindness. Use pens as daggers, dried ink as poison. It’s not the banker’s place to notice such things, it is place to serve those who deserve his servitude. Every time he services his lordships, his tie gets tighter, his skin looser, and his bald spot increase its diameter. The bored and defeated banker rises with the Bourgeoisie, clings to their heels, and gets the door. His lunch is over. His break is done. Back to his desk he retreats. Back to work. His time as a squire is done. Until his masters call upon him again. For lunch.

We don't want hypocrisy, we just want a democracy, living, in the United States of America. We denied aristocracy, because it wasn't fair to you and me, we are living, in America.

"I tell you I won't have this room!" snorted the aristocratic lady to the bellboy who was conducting her. "I refuse to pay decent money for a pigsty such as this! If you think-" Profoundly disgusted, the boy interrupted. "Get in, mum. Get in! This ain't yer room. Can't ya see it's an eluvateer?"

thus concludes a text from a dear friend whom I have never met, but this a, concluding statement is both convulsing and uncontained autumn is a her, a self-selected gender unique, that picks its own pronouns, pronunciations, for women greet us with warmth+chill skill combinatory, to make ordinary our daily green reform into a multi~variable aristocracy of colors, a forest of expressions, each a statement leaf, stating look at me, I’m transformed, resurrected, disguised, though essence unchanged, for I am the possibles of ad infinitum and I am: ***not-nearly as potent as the sparks of god within a human being*** 3:58am 10-20-24

Autumn opening her arms to us all
Bonjour, mon Cheri, mon petit Chou! The doorbell rings with a solemn telegram: - this just in - I am exactly like most girls - in civilizations lost, or civilizations in other civilizations, Italy hiding in Toronto and a government hiding in a shameful self-promotion, and 20 seconds later I'm a poly-sci major (incorrigible!) - 911! 911! 911! 911! What's my emergency? What's YOUR emergency? But really, what is my emergency? And when it comes to that, What's in an emergency - an aristocracy in high-waisted shorts, an ice cream social (media) scream - lets back the car out and park and loop and inevitably end up in a straight line caterpillars away from (The truth) - (but more of that later) Cross-continental cigarette and now I'm running out of material to trade it for. I am lonely, can't you see? A fair trade, for a night with me- **** me so hard I can't walk, **** me over so bad I can't detour a one-track mind) I am not the one Hemingway prepared you for, I will not blow smoke rings in Spain or wander the streets of Paris, I will sit right here lounging in a plaid vinyl sinkhole and carry myself with delusions of grandeur (Beyond novels unread - yet sadly written - by the unwashed and falsely educated masses) Life as an existential film, life as woe is me in backwards bus terminals. Life as when you marry someone you hate and life as cold tempura on a booze-stained tablecloth. Pass the peas, please.

Sweet Dreams You Are Very Beautiful
I am love's Savant Of perilous divining; No simpering hierophant, Of the desperately climbing. For love arrives naked, Sans cloak or cloche, While love's finger beckons, For me to come close. I'm privy to his prophecy; To the keyholes I tiptoe, Where I see the aristocracy- In flagrante delicto. As his scribe, I'm resigned To write impassioned words; Still, desires will not rewind- Even though they be absurd.

I am love's Savant
It's hypocrisy to preach democracy When you know it's not at work. Aristocracy is nothing but a mockery Of the real leaders who lurk In the dark and write in the shadows. Because once they barked and they were straight to the gallows. Now people don't know what to think, Or even how to on their own. Do you know how the worlds now a sink, And money our water? Well check your phone. I'm honestly ashamed that I am too a clone Of this breed of dumb that allows influence to be overgrown And split amongst a few. But if we wash ourselves away, maybe we can start a new. Down the sink, down the drain. We'll laugh at the day and dance in the rain. We'll forget the night before and the stain It left. Oh the hours we'll gain When we flush all this away and seize the new day. Their clock will be ours and our hour it will be to reign.

Freedom or Free Doom? we're under the same sun but live by a different moon; "America, my America why have you gone away?" a common thing to say in this strange and dark new day "America, my America where do you lie today?" in the memories of those who've come and passed away "America, my America why have you gone astray?" because I only exist in stories of those who Rule the day, textbook tales recount great men and quill pens but ignore the larger story of illiterate Farmer Ben "America, my America what have you got to say?" only that I'm sorry that my symbol striped and starry has held far too much sway what if our "democracy" has always been a plutocracy and the "genius" Founding Fathers were just a new aristocracy wouldn't that be the most awful hypocrisy? if the story of my birth is just as much a lie as the tale of creation by an old man in the sky then why, oh why do they continue to cry "America, my America my country tis of thee" when in fact I never was the place they want to be Americans, my Americans why do you ask of me? the things you've always done yourselves in spite of powers that be Americans, my Americans arise, awake, remember that they never gave you anything that they willfully surrendered Americans, my Americans never forget your past though the years may pass you by like sand in an hourglass Americans, my Americans I am just a dream that in your hearts and minds you do choose to believe Americans, my Americans arise, awake, remember! and Tomorrow we will forge a World of peace and splendor

My arrival be somber farewell, In jazzy silence, my essence await. Lo, sail for the rising horizon! Sunlit glory marks my precarious path. An eerie dawn heralds my journey. Behind wispy clouds lie hidden stars. Burning minds under siege from rain, Where art my refuge... a warm embrace? ____________________________________________ Subterranean, its my exeunt. Beyond the fog lies fresh adventure. Shackle my pride, envy, ignorance, Marvelous wonder upon colossal peaks. Brazen meadows shimmer under solar scrutiny. Foreshadowed by towering nobility, A morning hue bathe the sylvan valley, An idyllic breeze ruffle my hair. ____________________________________________ Dreams of avarice, Coveting all property. Faster and faster, More and more, eternal. Liberty for people, Nay, for the few. Aristocracy! Ruling class rules... to sin. ____________________________________________ I am falling toward the sky. Instantly mesmerized by your bright eyes. Feelings of perfection corrodes all my might. Your light caught me by surprise. Our paths crossed as the planets aligned. Our eyes meet, you make me feel the vibe. I wonder if you are so inclined. Terrified, I just want to make it out alive.

Orison of Idyll Thought
21 Guns which blast together, To show respect to the martyr, In a ceremonial military salute, Make noise to fewest residents, To the patriots they do salute. All the 21 times the guns blast, In unison and to show him respect, The irritable residents find it nonsense, Cursing the governments for wars, In unison and in an undertone. Their criticism is more of war, Of aristocracy & government, Apathetic are the commoners, But to them the peace matters, Feeling more loyal & patriotic.

21 Guns
The wheat harvest is Magickal, and you have always invited me into your damp crypt. Apples are ripe when Demeter searches for her lost offspring, amidst shades of nocturnal eroticism. Therefore, let us now bake bread with feminine or masculine features in the name of Southern rhythms where the hunt takes place upon acreage of the aristocracy. Do you have any regrets or farewells in this season? Let it flow like a bubbling brook through woodlands of this recollected netherworld.
