she ruled kingdoms three the land were prisoners roam free she spent her time staring at walls making worlds which would never fall the chieftain came in and bowed at her feet 'My Queen,the enemy has left us no option - surrender or retreat.' Aghast,bewildered and tensed she paced the court 'Oh dear! did they sink our boat?' 'Your majesty, will you please tell how to act in such a situation?' 'You fool! how am I supposed to answer when I am the Queen of Procrastination!'

Queen of Procrastination
A jack of all trades and a master of none That is what people called him Always tinkering with a smile on his face Helping others seemed to be his place So when the last chance came to say goodbye Many people wondered why Had such a man as this Who touched all walks of life Have to die As busy as he was he always had the time To stop and talk with the town drunk On the corner where he stood Often about a wonderful boyhood Then in his pocket he would reach Without a judging eye Give the man some money Shake his hand and say until next time So when the last chance came to say goodbye Many people wondered why Had such a man as this Who touched all walks of life Have to die Always willing to share his skill If you had the ear to learn Teaching how to do a thing or two He would give that value With anyone who would listen He would make it his business To share his knowledge as if he was a chieftain So when the last chance came to say goodbye Many people wondered why Had such a man as this Who touched all walks of life Have to die A husband and a father His wife and children miss him the most He was a hero to them Through his children his story will never end

A Jack Of All Trades
MESSENGER Now at the Seventh Gate the seventh chief, Thy proper mother's son, I will announce, What fortune for this city, for himself, With curses he invoketh:--on the walls Ascending, heralded as king, to stand, With paeans for their capture; then with thee To fight, and either slaying near thee die, Or thee, who wronged him, chasing forth alive, Requite in kind his proper banishment. Such words he shouts, and calls upon the gods Who o'er his race preside and Fatherland, With gracious eye to look upon his prayers. A well-wrought buckler, newly forged, he bears, With twofold blazon riveted thereon, For there a woman leads, with sober mien, A mailed warrior, enchased in gold; Justice her style, and thus the legend speaks:-- 'This man I will restore, and he shall hold The city and his father's palace homes.' Such the devices of the hostile chiefs. 'Tis for thyself to choose whom thou wilt send; But never shalt thou blame my herald-words. To guide the rudder of the State be thine! ETEOCLES O heaven-demented race of Oedipus, My race, tear-fraught, detested of the gods! Alas, our father's curses now bear fruit. But it beseems not to lament or weep, Lest lamentations sadder still be born. For him, too truly Polyneikes named,-- What his device will work we soon shall know; Whether his braggart words, with madness fraught, Gold-blazoned on his shield, shall lead him back. Hath Justice communed with, or claimed him hers, Guided his deeds and thoughts, this might have been; But neither when he fled the darksome womb, Or in his childhood, or in youth's fair prime, Or when the hair thick gathered on his chin, Hath Justice communed with, or claimed him hers, Nor in this outrage on his Fatherland Deem I she now beside him deigns to stand. For Justice would in sooth belie her name, Did she with this all-daring man consort. In these regards confiding will I go, Myself will meet him. Who with better right? Brother to brother, chieftain against chief, Foeman to foe, I'll stand. Quick, bring my spear, My greaves, and armor, bulwark against stones.

Fair fa' your honest, sonsie face, Great chieftain o the puddin'-race! Aboon them a' ye tak your place, Painch, tripe, or thairm: Weel are ye worthy o' a grace As lang's my arm. The groaning trencher there ye fill, Your hurdies like a distant hill, Your pin *** help to mend a mill In time o need, While thro your pores the dews distil Like amber bead. His knife see rustic Labour dight, An cut you up wi ready slight, Trenching your gushing entrails bright, Like onie ditch; And then, O what a glorious sight, Warm-reekin, rich! Then, horn for horn, they stretch an strive: Deil tak the hindmost, on they drive, Till a' their weel-swall'd kytes belyve Are bent like drums; The auld Guidman, maist like to rive, 'Bethankit' hums. Is there that owre his French ragout, Or olio that *** staw a sow, Or fricassee *** mak her spew Wi perfect scunner, Looks down wi sneering, scornfu view On sic a dinner? Poor devil! see him owre his trash, As feckless as a wither'd rash, His spindle shank a guid whip-lash, His nieve a nit; Thro ****** flood or field to dash, O how unfit! But mark the Rustic, haggis-fed, The trembling earth resounds his tread, Clap in his walie nieve a blade, He'll make it whissle; An legs an arms, an heads will sned, Like taps o thrissle. Ye Pow'rs, wha mak mankind your care, And dish them out their bill o fare, Auld Scotland wants nae skinking ware That jaups in luggies: But, if ye wish her gratefu prayer, Gie her a Haggis

Address to a Haggis (By Rabbie Burns)
Chieftain Iffucan of Azcan in caftan Of tan with henna hackles, halt! ****** universal **** as if the sun Was blackamoor to bear your blazing tail. Fat! Fat! Fat! Fat! I am the personal. Your world is you. I am my world. You ten-foot poet among inchlings. Fat! Begone! An inchling bristles in these pines, Bristles, and points their Appalachian tangs, And fears not portly Azcan nor his hoos.

Bantams In Pine-Woods
When he was a youth of fifteen or twenty, He chased a wild horse, he caught him and rode him, He shot the white-browed mountain tiger, He defied the yellow-bristled Horseman of Ye. Fighting single- handed for a thousand miles, With his naked dagger he could hold a multitude. ...Granted that the troops of China were as swift as heaven's thunder And that Tartar soldiers perished in pitfalls fanged with iron, General Wei Qing's victory was only a thing of chance. And General Li Guang's thwarted effort was his fate, not his fault. Since this man's retirement he is looking old and worn: Experience of the world has hastened his white hairs. Though once his quick dart never missed the right eye of a bird, Now knotted veins and tendons make his left arm like an osier. He is sometimes at the road-side selling melons from his garden, He is sometimes planting willows round his hermitage. His lonely lane is shut away by a dense grove, His vacant window looks upon the far cold mountains But, if he prayed, the waters would come gushing for his men And never would he wanton his cause away with wine. ...War-clouds are spreading, under the Helan Range; Back and forth, day and night, go feathered messages; In the three River Provinces, the governors call young men -- And five imperial edicts have summoned the old general. So he dusts his iron coat and shines it like snow- Waves his dagger from its jade hilt in a dance of starry steel. He is ready with his strong northern bow to smite the Tartar chieftain -- That never a foreign war-dress may affront the Emperor. ...There once was an aged Prefect, forgotten and far away, Who still could manage triumph with a single stroke.

Dream of life, A shell of a man, Walk the world, A zombie. Frightened as a cyclopes, With two eyes, Making a statement, For all mankind. God's little creatures, Drinking the forest, Through their feet, And olde cartoons. The sands of time, From the hourglass, Drain through the, Hands of the chieftain. Demons in the fog, Their smiles luminating, And made of corpses. With no where to run, And no where to hide, Many people can't explain, The knife in their hand. Drained from their lifeless, And made to dance, With no sense of, Remorse towards it. Nobody tells you how, Nobody tells you why, In the wind, Fish swim in magma, And frogs have sequence. They laugh at the chaos, Hope for the return, Of their master, The drained man. With no emotion, After a date with, His drained life.

DRAINED
To my young eyes To my innocent heart I remember the world was a blueprint on canvas It was a dream undreamt It was a song unsung As if in a crib, I looked about me at the stars of the cities Constellations of people hung about Their wounds and aches, joys and laughter, were the myths Like the Zodiacs, groups of these people Could define a person Yet believing myself undefined, I strode out from shelter Fearless Untamed, I ventured to find my purpose A purpose that would shake the mountain Rain down the ash of winter Smother the pits below my dreams Cull the nightmares that stoke my fears I waited I waited, I waited I tell you the waiting became my purpose Finally, there, in the clutch of time, I found my calling I will tell you all of the waiting I will tell you, don't wait... Don't wait for the door to ring or the latch to unlock Do not wait for the song to play or the band to sit Open the door Be the composer Be the pilot of your dreams, be the chieftain, be the god While waiting for what I could be I saw everyone else become With the zeal of their hearts I saw them build, I saw them grow This one built a nest That one stitched a doll Now the doll's a mannequin and my waiting missed the change I waited for the waiting to end I waited for the wanting to decide I waited for foe or friend I waited until there was nothing left inside Where is the zeal of my heart The timbre of my soul I lost the sight, the sound, the love because waiting took its toll...

Zeal of the Heart...
They stared down that fruit ravenously as junkies seeking their next fix. Days they spent cleverly concealed high in the banyan boughs by the jungle home. Monkey spies peered longingly, slavering over the scrumptious cornucopia of fruity delight, so close. They watched the white man devour whole pigs three times daily. When he ate he feasted. This gluttonous absurdity shall last no longer, claimed the monkey chieftain. Clang clang, rang the war bells, and primate warriors gathered, plotting a master plan, the "Fruit Bowl Coup." Gangsters conniving their next hit, the monkeys schemed day and night. The fruit shall be ours at last! The white man's snores rumbled after lunch. He dazed in a satiated stupor. With vine ropes and a leafy gag, the monkeys stormed in. A score tied him down, muffled his pitiful squeaks. The rest raided, took siege over the kitchen, plundering pirates. They filled their cheeks and hands with fruit, then brought their ***** back to the tribe. They feasted for days and the white man cried.

The Fruit Bowl Coup
Spells of chieftain splendor Bespeaking of loyal grandeur Now the eye clearly sees without fear At dusk! The ancient kingdom of Assur? A flight in time and space from afar? Was that ingenious creativity of flair? Still bids indubitable eternal mystery! Are clothes on man an anecdote of utter hypocrisy? Is sarcastic humor a precursor of hidden sinister? The animals hereof show their ****** Undertone tinges of impeccant simplicity Stirring poignant Achilles' heel character As an infant suckling the breast of saccharine nature; Lo! And behold… Sage mortals envisage a grotesque quest for a promising stage, Regnant and dignified? The new-age psyches’ beatify and feebly beg "Reform, in fact, is, rather softly, on the win” The lighthouse flashing against the sleet-blurred fig twig As every sacred notion becomes an unwavering origin certain, With no remorse that mankind can now ascertain The bewildering incarnation of science in religion! Like a single lily among lilies in a dark dungeon Great spirits now encounter violent opposition “Un-awakened Children silently screaming with pessimism” Hiding within the smooth sacred mask of personality Yet the fear of “the unknown” silently plays a drowsier symphony Calling back the violent rays to illuminate a peaceable destiny Were illusionary realities conform to the whims of a veiled deity, This goddess! A mystifying inferno doing its own radiance faster What a fuss! So light-footed as love yet so heavy-footed as war As if to justify the whirling gloom of despair Like the bleakness of the morning cuckooing rooster Or the dog which barks at his own image in a pond; “What startling veneration” Mortals without remorse still aspire to find The misplaced diamonds and daffs upon the beamish ground.

Placing my life on a bet I lay on a motel bed With heart pounding And long loud emotional howling That screams at the ****** inside me. All throughout the act I remain ‘inert’ While that pervert! Gags and squirt. Forcibly moaning So as to earn a loaf of bread for a family whose chieftain is dead. This is the reason why I lay on bed. Despite all this they make me culpable Knowing very well with this I am feeding incapable. If this is the law then answer me whether in true sense it is justifiable? My only cry is my body has been taken for far too long Does anybody want to take my heart along?

*** worker's cry
The Longest Day It is Sunday I'm looking out of the window the road is grey as the sky, so many empty houses, no longer do I hear voices a car stopping female laughter and the slamming of a car door. It is said ennui is when the brain is resting, and the Sunday is longer than other days. I know of a man who built his house on an ancient grave- stones it was strange seeing those names on the wall, mind he didn't live in the house but in the barn with a mule, two a cow a dog and several cats. It was impossible to sleep in the house sighs, knocking sounds and someone saying “ get me out of here it was all a mistake.” I wonder if the man ever got to sell his house. From history, I know of a Viking chieftain got so bored on the day of rest thinking of *** took out his knife and nailed his left hand to the dinner table, one can say his brain was over relaxed, pulled out the knife and he denounced this new faith called Christianity and went back believing in Thor and Odin and not to forget Valhalla, a place free of monotony.

viking thinking of ***
How could I, The double-faced WHO’s current leader, On par with A chieftain Brigade general, Tightlipped attend My diabolic Party’s funeral? Though for My criminal Party’s tragic end, Bereaved, I have to sob, I must labor To garner The pity of The credulous, elites As well as The mob Round the globe. At the same time Dollars I have To underwrite In a bid remaining Impish junta members Beef up their might Armed again To wage a fight! After ENDF’s law Enforcement operation, “I know not The whereabouts of My nephew, In Micadra’s massacre, Who might have Victimized a few!” Blood is thicker Than water Thus about Genocide victims Why should I bother? By defector as I’m also A victimizer. I forgot I’ve to seek A scapegoat, Though it was The junta Who released thugs And cut throats Before defeat So that They could Run amok To wreak havoc **** & looting— I will dish out stories In order hints not To the gun the smoke! If handsomely paid Some media outlets Could reverse the talk.

chieftain tribal lit-- ripple break, ripple broke off a steady circle. ways of water--and bouquets of lighting. my lovelies come quick-- to finish my sentences. i smear new eyes on their silver chords, and shout down what they need to hear. as morning comes like  a tattered up animal, hiding in plain sight of the hunt. angel-scape survived by freedom. how my town gets down.

Chieftain Tribal Lit
To Rayne Wishing, four seasons, with treason, appeal sense to vent dents that Autumn Rain and a waxing Moon argue Orange, awful approach 2 tokes at the stroke of this eleven O' one Guns that shoot Roses are love that flew the coop as hopeless Proton on Neutron lets be Nucleus, let us feel lettuce fetus lust, Innocence keeping bass as Anger sustains treble. Trust A Rebel Angel into, a tribe found blades angled like his name is a Misnomer Homer Simpson figured Gods found in Nature's Odyssey the Iliad as Sedition of traditions and only begs others to get with him, some jagged some jaded these bladed edges aged like scales cowardice feign frail Manicure Manure nails on nails hands grasping Kale as livers rot like Soldiers on cots just a dot, a red headdress on roads surrounded by nights sky star lit. Is now the time to form alder hide, or for flight of the quadrupeds instead tread felt as led to find a bed inside throbbing heads hiding amongst stys pigs tower over rats yet behave just in space a time is known as fright full of Delight tonight, the bottle shattered, dream scattered the dark chieftain's humor as Oliver Hart wishing, fours ease on, without reason, apples steal the lay on hands heal. I seek The Rain fail to fall all in September, I guess I'll wait Axis till Axels turn November.

Thud Thud, The Boots of Warriors thunder onto the Boat. Crash, Waves bang against the mighty longship. Boom Boom, under the Jarls orders the drums of war sound. Bang Bang, The mighty ships land on scottish shores. ***** ***** Viking Mail and shields clash with the Claymores of Highlanders Bam, Bam, The chieftain and the Jarl do battle. Bounce, the Jarl deflects the massive sword with his steel shield. Whoosh, the Jarl has fallen to the ground, Will a sword clash with the Chieftains or does the Jarls Saga end in Valhalla.

Viking Raids
The people bore their leader home, His body now an empty shell, A clotted mess of blood and loam From off the field on which he fell. The day was won but at a cost That countered victory and reward, A mighty warrior chieftain lost, Slain by the stroke of a swinging sword. Raised up upon his shield of oak With leather straps and a silver boss, His corpse draped over with a cloak To hide the object of their loss. Those battle scarred and weary few Processed their sorrow shoulder high, A sombre column two by two Beneath a fading twilight sky. With heavy hearts and heavier feet They traversed over open ground, Through swathes of gently swaying wheat To where their village could be found. And there amidst those mud daubed walls Formed into houses round and thatched, They entered to the anguished calls Of women as their children watched. The cries of both the young and old Rang out as one despairing chime, To see their man once brave and bold Cut down too soon before his time. While dropping down onto her knees, The weight of grief too much to bear, The chieftain's love in the night breeze Knelt silent with a vacant stare.

Death Of A Chieftain
In the kingdom of Saturday an angel holds nothing, encompassed by picture frames. A human trafficker bites a popped Tylenol, Eviscerates the nightmares that circle his crown. An optimist puts their hands up, Envisions a tableau soothed with moisturizer. A chieftain offers a beer to an orphaned Child, lush with vermillion blotches. A physician shrinks down in front of, A simmered-out wife, head towards the door. A gypsy considers being alone, xenophobia resiliently grips her throat. A mystified boy points to a girl, Whispers inaudibly “I miss making her laugh.” A priest begins an unimaginable service, “My prayer is simple, my dear one, Live for tomorrow, not yesterday. Open your hands.

While I Adjust My Glasses
A sudden realisation, revelation came to light. The grass isn't greener on the other side. He travelled across seas and desert sands. If only he knew, he had been watering barren lands. The seeds won't sprout and the roots won't sink. Nothing he did, will ever amount to anything. His boots were worn out, blisters and toes showing, But he trudged, in the dark, sandstorms blowing. Teary- eyed, sand granules rained fierce on his corneas. Wandering blind, accompanied by his own fears. Buzzing in his ears, he no longer hear what's dear, But what's clear, he gave up on ideals and ideas. Cause they are not real, mirage in the heat wave. No corner that he felt safe, so he began to dig graves. Hid in one, till he was found by a bedouin chieftain, In that instant, he be doing fist feints, Caught off guard in an unfamiliar fiefdom. Like a ****** in the university of Princeton. He didn't need assistance, but he definitely needed help. Like a she-wolf, lost, and looking hard for its whelp. Not soulless, just a soul lost, for many moon days. With His saving grace, he prayed he will be soon saved.

maxim utilisation does not necessarily create a symbiosis between the unitary appropriation of universals and particulars, old Socrates knew this, he knew the problem well recorded by Plato: a rich man can have all the needles and camels he wants... maxim utilisation works miracles for the rich, handy truth being: i have life insurance and a pension, but i'm still stuck in a trench with high-school memories and a house with 20 bathrooms but only 3 bedrooms, hence i'm the Chieftain of Microsoft... the rich know the best maxims, the poor know the best narrative... i'd rather hear the narratives than the maxims... maxims are utilised by the rich in a way that does not allow success, they speak fluently in terms of success stories, but they sell them, meaning there's a limited success rate; meaning their narrative sounds are a bit like: if i ****** this guy over, and this one, i cup-caked this one into a half-baked scene; yep, ****** this one, and this one, and this one, and this one over twice... but hey! i'm rich!

A genie working on a 9 to 5 Faces telling him to stay alive Oh no, no! It is the freakiest show Their devils sleeping under their bed But they've got him on house arrest Oh, why Are we so eager to try? Don't mistake me for misunderstanding that you had it bad Just like your dress this predicament is just a fad Hey, little gender-bender  Watch for return to sender Make sure you're by the coast That's where they'll love you the most No time for entitlement Your words are sentient Trade a board for a pen We don't need no citizen I got a secret I want you to spread it Play them anything Show us something A kid jumped off of the rooftops To make his way safely to the candy shop Oh, how Do people notice a house? The wise fool begged in the biggest square They put him in the alley and they listened there Oh, when Did they do the "paper-bend"? Don't mistake me for misunderstanding that you had it all This crass crusade will surely stop at the nearest shopping mall Here comes the space heater With a 9 millimetre  People say he's colour blind Who's court, his or mine? The joke from the chieftain  Is that he's a Bohemian Who you are is never born Gotta start out forlorn I got a secret  I want you to spread it Dance in the streets Trust your heartbeat If you are deaf, well, we all feel what we've gotta say

Darlings on 6th Street
Automatic translation of An automatic rifle Goes ratatatatak attack The field is clear The ghosts of souls still near We are A-OK in this situation with this AK-47 Peace is dragged in the dirt Rope around her black stifle **** around her black skirt A soldier offers her some water Her struggles refuse to whimper. A stout blond-haired chieftain Watches from afar. Red stains Of pain and blood subdue her She will collapse within the hour All she hears is the rattle of the Blond snake talking to her Automatic translation of The automatic rifle Going ratatatatak attack Someone attempts to translate The anger of a Glock: “It’s just around that block That you will fall, Peace Sentenced by the death clock Mounted on the automatic rifle But you’ll be A-OK in this situation we have the AK-47” Trump(ets) of shame echo around the devastated field They told the blond chieftain he’ll be lead in track and field In college. They showed him naked models in lingerie adds They still show up on his LCD screen in apps They told him he could buy a revolver for a couple of quarters So he said “no quarters, please take this batch of Grants” You are A-OK in this situation with this AK-47 Automatic translation of The automatic rifle Went ratatatatak shot in the back In between his hatred-filled decaying teeth The chieftain was staring when she fell, without an ounce of grief Rubbed in reassurance his bulgy AK-47 for relief He then came… to the conclusion: “REST IN PIECES, PEACE” October 3, 2017

A mutated earthling— From an elitist experiment— Burst with thorns and limbs,— yet too little to be seen,— That struck mines— Into landslides. Through and through,— to species and things A coast to coast hunter— that becomes a Gremlin ********** and thrilled by a prophet, foretold— "A ditty hatband to put in flute,— is a note of sphere bullets." For the meantime, hear the Chieftain's announcement: "The folly is the naked; as the prudent is the masked— No one should be phlegmatic in this game,— For all of you should be sensitive— Unless, if you want to be an elsewhere's feast Do not act— like a pearl with a great price!" Soldiers cluttered in passageways,— For Pirates are Ubiquitous thieves An assemble of frontiers hosed and geared— of wrought bodies— with uncertain prone. In this war, together— Barricades of water and bricks— Our chances to be unleashed,— From a long concealment,— To be sooner conquerors of intruders' exile.
