ah, enslave without compassion bound ancestors you must impale go seek and show no mercy let those who escape carry the tale all the sufferers bearing witness to their ministers spilling their blood staggered screeches from bleak recesses regicide plotters bend to the dust with unmitigated conquest and ********** trample them under your tyranny slimy enshrinement brings into question what's divinely lamented for scatter populations with ruthlessness let them choose sycophancy or sword reappoint difficult commanders for instigation unbroken awaits kept in frenzy, they whisper confusion never quite sure of their fate with unmitigated conquest and ********** trample them under your tyranny let the cowardly unlock the gates for you to heroically claim what's inside crowds you abhor kneeling in wonder all the world is your ****** bride punctuate the roads with tollgates ***** monuments to broadcast your name all your banquet's guests are your enemies entertain them with one another's shame with unmitigated conquest and ********** trample them under your tyranny with unmitigated conquest and ********** trample them under your tyranny under your tyranny

Unmitigated Conquest and **********
I lived my half dictionary life before I could comprehend compulsory compromises. Collectors arise, disguises and devices beeping, chastising my blindness. Gather geography from Afghanistan and Myanmar graciously growing gold gilded gift horses, gleefully gloating about floating far away. My hoof beats above concrete match my heart’s defeat across borders and mountains embroidering cardboard cut-outs calling deserts, decorating front covers. Exhaling handcrafted letters for my missing half, half demanding highest caliber commanders and half commanding completion. Jade jays joyfully lay arrays of bouquets fragile flowers decay faraway in jawbones and jail cells. Begging farewells in a hotel’s lobby began my hobby, early morning coffee and carbon copies concurringly cocky around his dead body. Gang ciphers for cartels are Christmas bells hissing at collars, half dollars embellishing bar crawlers godfathers hollering at car haulers. Atrocities across cities attack, attachable atrophies audibly ambush arthritic anthologies. Anomalies begin apologies between apostrophes, advancing autonomy arousing ancient animosities. All eluding Antarctica, giant frozen crests, multi-coloured ice hidden in my illustrations anxious for my distant half. Friday cassettes and cigarettes deliberately making bets following “M”. Breaking bindings and finding “beta” in alphabet, may feasibly end in debt.

FROM MOZAMBIQUE TO SOUTH AFRICA AND THE STRUGGLE IN BETWEEN from Mozambique to the belly of the queen mother Afrika, we were born soldiers, strangled from the arms of our mothers, strangers to our engraved fathers in their early graves, starve and strive in the command of our commanders,climb and fall hills of many mountains, with countless bodies i carried in my arms, moved from one camp to another, with blood of my comrades fled in the river, as crocodiles tumble and roles with them, they scream and cried while we crossed the Crocodile River. a refuge toe to giant Afrika our queen mother, this has become our home too, regardless of the chaos we've rendered. i know no memories but nightmare in the surface of Mozambique, they see the beauty of its minerals and crops, the tremendous sea and scattered informal settlement for farming left by my people to south Africa, but in true essence i see graves, grenades, and guns buried in the bodies of my comrades from Mozambique to south Africa and the struggle in between

FROM MOZAMBIQUE TO SOUTH AFRICA AND THE STRUGGLE IN BETWEEN
There used to be a time when you were paddling down the river You'd hear that banjo song and you'd go all a quiver You know the song I mean it always made me shiver Now, there's something scarier when you're out there on that river (banjo music...deliverance theme) No matter how far south you go there's tv shows galore Cajun this and Cajun that and Cajun even more Louisiana sold out it's a reality tv ***** If you find name one show that's filming you know there's 15 more (banjo music...deliverance theme) Of all the shows out there I don't get Honey Boo Boo I mean, look at how that child looks we're talking nasty ju ju There's a high priestess out there who did some Boo Boo Voo Doo I've never seen another kid who looks like Honey Boo Boo (banjo music....deliverance theme) There's not a place down south not owned by Duck Commander They own the rights on everything, on every salamander If there's a deal on anything, these good old boys will land 'er The Robertson's own everything, those Buck 'n Duck Commanders (banjo music...deliverance theme) Now, as I said that banjo song was scary and it was a real big hit But, now it takes up second place, something else will make you 'git No need to fear the banjo being played by a hermit It's when the State Trooper asks..."Boy, where's your paid up film permit?" ( banjo music...deliverance playout)

A World Without Wi-Fi      »by Megha Elizabeth Koshy. ------------------------------------- The people in the world Like machines they go With tiny commanders On their palms At the streets, at the malls At the office, at the homes. Some even chattering to their buddies At the next door! People behave like dummies Who carefully keep ears sharp To there notification  tones, But never to their mummies! Kids who pay attention for their Comments and likes But never bother to brush their teeth twice! People are slaves of technology Like electronic gadgets If not plugged in they run out of life. Now just imagine.... A World Without Wi-Fi For one single day People may fall sick And some will even die! --------------------------------------

Mt. Rushmore
Once the Emperor Charles of Spain, With his swarthy, grave commanders, I forget in what campaign, Long besieged, in mud and rain, Some old frontier town of Flanders. Up and down the dreary camp, In great boots of Spanish leather, Striding with a measured ***** These Hidalgos, dull and damp, Cursed the Frenchmen, cursed the weather. Thus as to and fro they went, Over upland and through hollow, Giving their impatience vent, Perched upon the Emperor’s tent, In her nest, they spied a swallow. Yes, it was a swallow’s nest, Built of clay and hair of horses, Mane, or tail, or dragoon’s crest, Found on hedge-rows east and west, After skirmish of the forces. Then an old Hidalgo said, As he twirled his gray mustachio, “Sure this swallow overhead Thinks the Emperor’s tent a shed, And the Emperor but a Macho!” Hearing his imperial name Coupled with those words of malice, Half in anger, half in shame, Forth the great campaigner came Slowly from his canvas palace. “Let no hand the bird ****** Said he solemnly, “nor hurt her!” Adding then, by way of jest, “Golondrina is my guest, ’Tis the wife of some deserter!” Swift as bowstring speeds a shaft, Through the camp was spread the rumor, And the soldiers, as they quaffed Flemish beer at dinner, laughed At the Emperor’s pleasant humor. So unharmed and unafraid Sat the swallow still and brooded, Till the constant cannonade Through the walls a breach had made And the siege was thus concluded. Then the army, elsewhere bent, Struck its tents as if disbanding, Only not the Emperor’s tent, For he ordered, ere he went, Very curtly, “Leave it standing!” So it stood there all alone, Loosely flapping, torn and tattered, Till the brood was fledged and flown, Singing o’er those walls of stone Which the cannon-shot had shattered.

Listen to me Comrades. The Battle waits ahead. Keep your weapon close and you will not dread Comrades, please don’t tread on me Let that be handled by the enemy Do you feel the stares coming from the hills? Make sure you make them want to take their final pill. March with me Comrades. The battle is here Do not let them see your eyes full of dying fear This will be ****** shoot them where it hurts Make each bullet stop their final blurt Almost done comrades! Keep mowing them down Make our commanders laugh while making theirs frown Stop my Comrades I want you to look behind you Look at all these bodies on the ground spewing their blood too Mourn your fallen brothers, but your enemies as well Every lifeless body here will make a mothers eye swell Keep on Comrades there is nothing you can do Just make sure your mother eyes don’t swell up too.

Twisting Thoughts (6x6)
The meek rattle the earth The battle distracted the clerks The overseer dipped into his potion As commotion in the open Became action and it started gaining traction And without pause the commanders reacted with factionalism For a fracture collapses community structures They rupture with signs of mistrust Institutions induce us to fear our own neighbor And keep our eyes forward and fixed on our labor But me and you, that's the True True Helping out when I know what I can do Spreading gratitude will get you bread And clothed enough to stay alive Because we'll only survive if we help each other

If We Help Each Other
In my trench and freezing cold, saw a guy get his helmet shot when he stood up a bit feeling bold, still alive but has a wound, I should be back in hometown with mum and pop, eating turkey, but instead I get this slop, My adrenaline has been going for two weeks and its starting to wear, but sleep I do not dare, no man's land is all I will see, and my dead friends welcoming me, I start to nod into sleeping fright, but again I fight, I start to hear singing from across the field, delusions I yield, but again I hear, and every now and then a cheer, all drained of fear, I pop my head up and see the Germans singing, Christmas carols ringing? A mate next to me starts to sing the same tunes, so I pick it up and more do, we must be loons, but the singing together goes all through the night, British and Germans, ever the hard ***** are singing too, in the morning a brave chap gets out of the trench, walks across the field that has the death stench, no fire comes upon him nor gas, but a man from the otherside gets up and rushes to meet him fast, I dont see what they are saying but they exchange cigarettes and matches, then the peace hatches, we all get up on both sides and go talk with our enemies from yesterday, we only smile because there is nothing to say, except today is Christmas and we both want to go home, but tomorrow we will both be firing at each other alone, a football game break out and our commanders are even smiling, no order to pour into filing, just smoking pipes and waiting for it to end, we show each other pictures of our girls and what they send, no longer two side, but two humans that needed someone in to confide, we shake hands and go back to our trenches, sit on our poorly built benches, and wait till tomorrow when we are no longer a son, but enemies trying to **** each one.

Coming out of the sleepy terrarium auditorium, Whispering consciousness of rotten handfuls, Then a great stranger, obelisk tall and stretching, His hand and giving me a clue of what to do next, A searing and scathing, loose triumphant look, I almost tried to shield my eyes from its beauty, Sound spilling out of the speakers in cacophony, Climaxing and exhaling like a tired holy shaman, Tranquil and pondering existence, Wondering and re-examining what was the real reason, Somehow it all seemed to melt away and each chattering, Capsized example fell on the ears of catalysts, Somehow the morning light had seamed through the curtain, Training the new apprentices of next abreast, Sitting in the waiting room panting and wailing, When will it be their turn, To change the minds of America, While setting fire to the office building next door, One of the commanders of chaos sat back in an easy chair smiling, Further melting away layers I saw the, Saints, And, Devils.

UNTITLED #14
Alert the Ankobeahene and Kontihene To secure the women and children, For the language is war, Remind the Kyidomhene, Nifahene and the Benkumhene To caution their men For a possible storm, Men of war! Fill the mighty *** of fire With the water fetched From the Godstwi river, Do not forget to mix it With the divine talismans, For the pale-skin men Who knocked our doors With their good news, Are now knocking our Doors with their gun news, Represent their commanders with stones, And place them in the boiling mixture, Has the omnipotent Kwame and Mother Earth approved of this? My servants, check on the *** Whether it has disintegrated, Then we expect defeat, If not, play the drums And blow the horns of war In delight and strength, War! War! War! Who is to lead us? For the *** on the fire has Expressed our defeat by Wailing and disintegrating, Oh yes, nevertheless the Gods and ancestors have chosen The vibrant queen mother of Ejisu, Ah, though we are fighting A war of contempt, Her Royal majesty, Nana Yaa Asantewaa Shall lead the entire Ashanti army, Weep for your children, Oh, great Krobea Asante Kotoko, For they are going in For an unpleasant defeat, But for the sake of The courage of Yaa Asantewaa, We shall fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Till we see defeat, For the moon moves slowly, But by daytime it crosses the sky. © PRINCE NANA ANIN-AGYEI Email: [email protected]

Standing in the dewy grass I hope and pray that they will pass But they may not but come to stay I know not If I die this day The Redcoats come a thousand strong their battle line is wide and long What's ordained I can not say I know not If I die this day We stand apart but look across to the other line and toss a look of nervousness then pray I know not If I die this day Commanders yell, Commanders bark their orders all along the park but then a shot rings out and in the confusion, it begins

a closer walk
And it Was that The Holy Father created Man in his image with Adam And as well it Was that Eve followed in the recurrent fathom. So that balance was brought about to the world of men, The Fallen, Son Of The Morning, leading them, Sinned most grievously upon the Father Of The World, That in the End, The Lord found something to be abhorred Through many Ages and upon battlefields Heavenly and Demonic, The Earth then found its paradise to become quite rotted, The blood of the fallen Angelic creations Stained so the ground, that interpretations Failed to meet the descriptive magnitude, To begin to scribe the crimson-red deluge. - What seemed to be Eternity had passed, More than some, sick of fighting, took chance, To live, to escape to the safety of Earth, To baptize themselves in what once was paradise and birth, God’s Angels and Lucifer’s commanders both Fled to live with hope of peace and wroth The beginnings of the end, without intent, The destruction would result in the death of the children, Created of Man, Angel, And Devil’s mixed seed, The Nephilim created with all spliced genes, Superior to Our Father’s first, In strength, in mind, in spiritual girth, Recorded Here are Scriptures of the last God-like children from the past, Describing their Parents in personal detail, Shedding light then, on where modern day fails

*Surrounded by mud our feet make love to the surface the bullets kiss us, the bayonets hug our intestines and the blankets cuddle with our cold, decaying corpses we write to our wives, letters that will never be delivered the wet ground gives our feet an unpleasant present in the form of gangrene, the rats make themselves at home feasting upon the rotten flesh of fallen comrades while the maggots make use of newly formed skulks and aged decaying bone then comes the symphony of artillery the roar of gunfire, the marching of tanks the mighty foot soldiers, and the majestic golden smoke of mustard gas the trenches become our unwanted love and unholiest of homes, "the tears do not shed the blood does not spill, and the soldier does not die" is the common the battle cry sung upon us constantly by our commanders but on the contrary these bitter notes of blind fate forever sing to us the illusion of life and the irony of war.....*

Diary Of A Soldier (World War 1)
Napoleon Bonaparte 1769 Corsica is where he got his start One of the greatest commanders in history His manner of death a 200-year-old mystery Napoleon played it close to the vest With his armies he was always the best But 'twas nothing he could do When he met his Waterloo Lived his last few years under house arrest Napoleon drank the water and headed for the loo He did nothing different than you or I could ever do Be kind to your skin and protect your bone-a-parts Remember that's where good hygiene starts!

Waterloo Clerihew 23-Skidoo
The battle over poetry The soldiers fight their words, their weapons. The historic battlegrounds dedicated in honorable memorials, studied in English classrooms everywhere. The meek soldiers follow in the footsteps of the noble commanders that have paved the battlegrounds for them. The quiet soldiers want to fight, the drafted, given the gift of perfect aim but can never choose the right target. I join the fight, The fight to express thoughts and beliefs Your words, silver bullets, sink deep into my skin. They do not reach my heart, however. They sink deep into parts of me that will not **** me, but will leave me screaming in pain. The pain of your words cut deep. I struggle to fight back, my pain, my motivation to keep up the fight. The drafted are invisible The fight continues, the soldiers longing to be commemorated for the pain they endured in the fight. We are the drafted, the unnoticed. Our pens, our weapons and this battle is far from over

The Battle over Poetry
coming home at half past dusk my body is so very weary my fingers are cold my tummy empty my thoughts are of home as i trudge my way through the darkness a darkness that falls like autumn leaves. from late afternoon the darkness settles on the ground starting with the sky it falls like a billowing eiderdown onto a cold autumnal bed twilight flutters and spiraling down it slips quietly between the streets filling fields covering in layer upon layer of blues and violet hues upon the houses and the buildings below tiny stars begin to glow as the sky turns to indigo dreams fall upon the cars and their lonely passengers radios on heater cranked to ten everyone yawning with wishes of home waiting for the lights to change commanders of stop and go the sentry lollipops are shining their beams that dazzle so bright like stars that burn my eyes as only i can see the mirage of wondrous colours its funny how the imperfections in my vision make the ordinary extra ordinary as i am blinded by something not real unreal more than ordinary glorious illusions of glittering light and as i slowly open and close my eyes playing with the beams to elongate bend and dazzle red, gold and  green blinking in disbelief at the traffic lights delight night falls and dutifully it carpets the world from work to home from home to work from work to home... ad infinitum coming home at the end of the day to the aroma of stew the warmth of love my key opens the lock to a temporary freedom and the so begins the unwinding of the machines fingers the hamster wheel stops at the door and gratitude fills my soul as i walk in through the real world portal dogs barking cats milling food laughter love yes this... and only this.... this is a joyous wage for a job well done

coming home at half past dusk my body is so very weary my fingers are cold my tummy empty my thoughts are of home as i trudge my way through the darkness a darkness that falls like autumn leaves. from late afternoon the darkness settles on the ground starting with the sky it falls like a billowing eiderdown onto a cold autumnal bed twilight flutters and spiraling down it slips quietly between the streets filling fields covering in layer upon layer of blues and violet hues upon the houses and the buildings below tiny stars begin to glow as the sky turns to indigo dreams fall upon the cars and their lonely passengers radios on heater cranked to ten everyone yawning with wishes of home waiting for the lights to change commanders of stop and go the sentry lollipops are shining their beams that dazzle so bright like stars that burn my eyes as only i can see the mirage of wondrous colours its funny how the imperfections in my vision make the ordinary extra ordinary as i am blinded by something not real unreal more than ordinary glorious illusions of glittering light and as i slowly open and close my eyes playing with the beams to elongate bend and dazzle red, gold and  green blinking in disbelief at the traffic lights delight night falls and dutifully it carpets the world from work to home from home to work from work to home... ad infinitum coming home at the end of the day to the aroma of stew the warmth of love my key opens the lock to a temporary freedom and the so begins the unwinding of the machines fingers the hamster wheel stops at the door and gratitude fills my soul as i walk in through the real world portal dogs barking cats milling food laughter love yes this... and only this.... this is a joyous wage for a job well done

The empire is guilty of numerous sins. It hasn't always acted like the emblem of justice. More blood stains its hands than Pontius Pilate. Interests often blind her from obvious truth. Still, she is war ready. Her armies and commanders of the sea stand guard. Because every once in a while she gets it right. She brings truth. She brings fairness. She brings justice. On occasion, she can be a global symbol. Now, red lines in the sand find themselves crossed. The empire shakes with anger. Loss of innocence, we cannot tolerate. Her people will soon be on her side. She is war ready.

Empire
Rare gems born of Mankind gifts to humanity. Perfections of heaven's creations. Angels with hidden wings earth's tenants. Like petals of flowers pride of the garden, As to irokos the standing glories of the forest, So they are in the land of men exalted. They are tenacious, judicious, meticulous and courageous. Lovable, adorable, teachable but indomitable. As melody to songs, Music to souls, And Whispers to evening wind. So they are to mother June. Gentle and kind sophisticated and phenomenal. Their hearts are but of gold and ways divine. They are road pointers, Motion movers, Light bearers and trailblazers. They are attention commanders, collections of respect. Epitomes of beauty narrations of handsome tales. They are the codeless code of pleasure locked in a wordless wonder, The hive of treasure no dragon can plunder. We are the Junites born of mankind, Gifts to humanity. HAPPY BIRTH MONTH TO ALL THE JUNE BABIES.
