"conquerors" poems
I am the Great Connector I was born to unite The Horde I am the Great Collector Of souls felled by my Axensword They all call me subhuman And revile me as a beast But they do the same to you and For that they'll pay the price (No Peace) We are strong, We are brave Though they wish to see us caged We are wild and Untamed And we will never live as slaves Conquerors, We Are One! Same blood in different skins At last you'll see, when the victor is me I am the Lord of our Kin Wastelanders, Join the March The World will burn as we sing When the battle is won, I'll announce to everyone "I am the Ogre King!" I am the Great Divider I was born to brew up storms I am the Annihilator My path was forged in war My reign began in chaos In Bloodshed, so it ends All this Strife has nearly left me with No Kingdom to Defend (Descent) We are Violent and Enraged Now that we have been Betrayed There are Consequences Grave For Manipulated Faith Revolution, it has come! Same blood but different sins The Empire Falls And all Hear the Call For A New Order to Begin Decapitate the Tyrants & Slaughter those who Resist When the battle is won, At the top of my lungs, I'll cry "Long Live the Ogre King!" I am the Great Destroyer The Throne is mine to take I will be king at any cost Dead nations in my wake I am the Great Conniver With Sinister Designs Never cared how much is Lost So long as what is Left is Mine (Arise) We are rabid and insane From lives of misery and pain Now that the world's ablaze We fall into our cages These Horrors have just begun Same gore from separate veins What have we done, To our daughters and sons? A History Bloodstained! We threw our lives into this war, And lost more than we gave When the killing is done, I'll tell everyone, "The Ogre King is slain!" Now Our Planet is a Grave! "The Ogre King is Slain, Long Live the Ogre King, I Am The Ogre King!"

Ogre King

I pride, In many things. Little and big. Existing and imaginary. Useful and unnecessary. Almost ubiquitously. I take pride in my mind, most of all. In the many wonders it brings me. It lets me wave at the voyagers that zip by as I swim, weightless and cold in the eternal stardust of would bes. It lets me simmer in the memory of a younger day. Of all the loves loved and the ones lost I pride the ones that never gave way. Like old paintings stowed away deeply fragments, moving, ageing effortlessly. I take pride in the fact that I have one true friend and not many. I don't know why I take pride in it though I would understand culling a herd, if I had any. I take pride in a soul that has learnt to love so deeply. Deeper than the rivers of the world and tumultuous as the sea I take pride in my dog, sitting when I command it. I take pride in the fact that, At least he understands it. I take pride in the words that I think and regret the ones I don't. I take pride in understanding the existence of truth and its relentless need to run and hide away. I take pride in my people and in their endless rebellion against sanity. I take pride in their manic displays of affection despite their distaste for the same affectations. I take pride in their synchronized entropy, beautiful, much like the death of a galaxy.   I take pride in the songs I hear, the sonnets of love and despair. of first discoveries, and fevered dreams. Of Kings and conquerors and knights against the regime. Of their legends that soar and rise and go beyond where the grave lies. I take pride in the mirror. Though broken and shattered beyond repair it bestows me with honesty about the one that I care. I take pride in all these aberrations, in these tiny little manipulations. These effervescent little marionettes forever dancing within constellations.

I am worth being valued for existing Not only in the moments That I become relevant, necessary, or useful For lustful, celebratory or inspirational insanity I am not a lollipop or an exotic destination Stop exploring me ************* Because you salivate over this Hispaniola Beautiful island desecrated and decimated How many beautiful spirits will you make savages How many pure rivers will you **** blood on How many conquests will you claim a stake in How much balance will you disturb and subjugate to the trauma of your transitory exploration There's no impunity for conquerors Who taste, plunder, disguise disapproval in their apologies and move on There's no impunity for conquerors Who pick and choose who's worth Of validation, when, & how There's no impunity for conquerors Who play with men and women Hierarchize their prey But fail to acknowledge Their man-child whitewashed Hidden agendas & rigged market values Conquerors haunted by the trauma they've caused Will not be absolved by the revolution Neither will the revolution be the breast That heals conquers who are traumatized By the realization of their own fuckery

No matter what you have been told God is in control Rest assured he is near No need to fear Hold on to Faith real tight Know that everything is going to be alright When God is in the midst Defeat doesn't exist "In all these things we are more than a conquerors through him who loved us.  For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers,  nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord". You serve a powerful God A God who can calm the sea A God who holds your destiny He is your healing spring And in his hands he brings

God is in Control!
Look at the grass grow, look at the spirits flow, look at the sun glow, look at your sons go. Look at the rip tides, look at the grey skies, look at the black flies, look in your own eyes. Look at the hurricanes, look at those in pain, look at the pouring rain, look at those showered by fame. Look at the burning coal, look into the black hole, look deep into the soul, look at the world as a whole. Corporate conquerors conquer the economy. Seven sickos ****** with ****** Honest Al has no honesty. Endogamy? Some poor sinner selects to sin. Whiny woman want to win. Crazy killers **** their kin. Fin? No! Lets keep the show going! Skies are clear, but it is snowing. Rowing, flowing, with the stream, is this all a dream? A dream? Awaken me! I scream! I flee... I'm floating on a stream, crying in a dream, waiting to be seen, by you. See me, hug me, kiss me, love me. Hate me, shun me, as long as you loved me, then I can die, I can dream, in peace.

Crying Crystals
Dear Madam Sabrina, The lonely beach shores, I walk Tossing seashells of affection in remebrance of you A pursued love interest that is overwhelm Overflowed by tears I attempted to hold back Slithering ghostly as we never embrace A tender kiss, ponders across the bay Given a mysterious essence We are lost In an oceanview desire Recollecting inner thoughts about another A woman I found,but an achor Abreast from you Rejection is a raging wave that conquerors My ability to forget you A stranger to calm sea Can float away From peaceful shores Of love Yours truly, A man without dignity

The only thing that ties me to this quilt-patched land, is memories of a flag: red, white, yellow, and blue. Red is the blood used to paint our doorways—protection from ghostly wolves that sought our firstfruits. It is fight, even if our weapons are terribly flimsy. Bamboo tinted spears, mashed with berry paint and maskara on our brows is our arsenal. We fight in, and with the shadows. Light chases them down. Memories of GomBurZa, Noli Me, Balintawak, Tirad Pass and even EDSA remind me of how the wounds are slowly closing. Red is the color of our scars. White is the gifts we received from our conquerors. The plow and the print: an awakening of consciousness new. White is the color of skin that polished us. White is also the gift of void, bleakness and forgetfulness. In exchange for the new, we shafted the old: our language, our anitos. A gift of disconnect: resolute Babel collapsing, burying us in tongues filled with sorcerous lisps. We curl in vain our own lips to fit their shapes. We speak gibberish now. The ghosts scoff at us in an even newer language of their own invention. Yellow is the sweet sun which kissed us tenderly—even as we were surrounded by bolo, spear, sword. The sweet sun fights to give us light, and reaches out to us misunderstood. It shaped our land—softened our soils and gave it fruit. It is mangos, and papaya skins, and ripe bananas. It gives us joy and sweetens our sweat. Blue are the lakes beneath which linger our roots. With the water is our identity: our hearts, our gait, our dance: the light shuffling of feet, the sway of brown hands, the wind waving at the rice buckets bobbing on our heads. We were never a warlike people. When we are wounded, we seek refuge in our seas, in the saltwater wounds that so painfully clean us of dastard memories. They sting like a freshwater song. Like the harsh howling of the monsoon rains, and the tides rising and falling with our chests. Humming. We forget and we remember, like the ebbs and flows of the shore, the coastal highways that we leave in peace, like a languid dance. They float in and out of history—as one hops in and out of bamboo rods as they dance the Tinikling. The songs, they string us well. String names like humble Rizal, larger than life, and manic Bonifacio, who looked us straight in the eye. Names that sing of the prairie wind—softly massaging the hard grains that we till quietly in the fertile soil. Soil—what ties us together is our history.

the sun burns red in the west The lovers meet in secret Following their hearts in the cropping darkness It is big and brave For the passionate lover He would hand it to her love tonight Hoping that she would cherish it Even when he will be away She gives him hers Tells him "be strong and intact Return safe my love I will be waiting for you" The heart, That little body part habouring all issues Makes all decisions The heart, it strengthens the soldier in the battle front Singing to him songs of courage Reminding him of his sweet love at home Love from the heart is true and passionate Its different from lust and is bound to last The battle is love Even though the war is different He kills for love she is the only thing in mind She gets broken a few times taunted by sociopaths Telling her 'they will never come back" She has waited for times and times But the heart stands all the tests Most of the times The heart that lordship of mind and body Guides everyody Decisions of the heart You can trust He thinks with the mind for tact but nomatter what He follows his heart; even though he is bruised and hurt The mind fills him with doubt but the heart tells him to fight Reminds him of heroes and sweet ********** Turns him to a matador the eyes give him sight but the heart fills him with insight Hugging him tight it neutralises his fright He marches right Into enemy territory She is barely making through They think she should remarry News of fallen soldiers devastates her heart Man's strength is from within the heart Courage is not from spears Not arrows and swords... That small body part! Emperors and conquerors Lovers and soldiers listen Fathers and Mothers They listen to the heart He creates devastation Wrecking the enemy camp As his battalion joins in His heart moulding him Into a hero That small body part Endures all in patience As she waits Saying its never late ...a time of jubilation Victory cries are heard Those back are few But they removed the enemy By conviction of their hearts He is a legend The man after everyone's hearts She is joyous As she runs into his embrace The heart That small body part Endured it all A soldier's heart...

Tigers hunt, Sheep bleat Eagles soar, Bears sleep Only one imperfection One blot on this earth Only one mistake In this chaotic universe The biped that thought I’m special, they are naught I will chase them and herd them I will cow them and hurt them I will conquer their will As I sit atop my hill All that I see is mine My power is divine Indeed power is divine or at least above the touch Of the lowly biped, Slave to ego, its crutch Time cycles around The circle of life Each fool with a title Sits pretty for a while On a mountain of bones, Bloodshed, false pride I’ve won, I’ve crushed them Look how they run and hide Oh, don’t you see, You sad little fool One of these days that Boomerang will find you Your house of cards is swaying The hounds of hate are baying Your great successor has arrived Same delusions, different stripes!

Cookie-Cutter Conquerors
Love is a flower open to the sun, Hate is a cavern, a hole, craven, Black, empty, a dank drowning, Under light.  Love is one season, Hate is transitory. Love is eternal, Of vast nebulas, to outer reaches In galaxy are nurseries with stars Being born, light, alive with light. Love is the lasting of conquerors, The first line, defense, existence, Love takes all in one communion, Breaking the dark as the morning Sun.  Love is conundrum, love IS. Hate is a construct, the blotched That bleeds where life is seeding, Rot better to cut, spoil unneeded, Hate will come to nothing, for life Is love, love is all and everything.

Love | Hate
My blood is marked by genocide on the two sides of these Atlantic lines My fate was sealed with the blood stains of cotton workers from Marash slaughtered by the ottoman and the mixed blood of conquerors and massacred of masters and estranged slaves The rot of colonialism lurks underneath our 15 second democracy My eyes were numbed by what I hadn´t seen after the ***** war was over after the bowels of the Earth had vomited bones in Uruguay lifeless infant mummies in the soft heart of Africa after the tide brought in the loot of generals, green men of power and no shame My past was carved with knives on children´s bones in the mountains of Leninakan with hanged peasants on the slopes of Ararat My human pride was dumped in Rio de la Plata one summer night in a death flight that time when I had learnt to sing before I grasped the word The word was born from the colonial rot under our soil and under Africa The word was black and cast a deadly storm before the sun The word was Genocide

The Word (New York, April 2006)
The strangers sat before the king, their lips were flat and eyes were ringed. It was smoky in that enormous room, the vapors and gases being ornaments hanging in the air. "For what purpose were you there?" asked the savage king, whose eyes were darkly burning in a face deeply sinking in on itself. With feathers in his hair and paint dried on his skin, he floated in the air far above his kin. Cortes knew the power hidden deep within this man, though alien in the hour of this, a continent's last stand. With hands as white as snow so deft so quick so sly the contract was unknown to that great man in the sky. "To see and meet and greet you, O' great man of this strange and foreign land." Their eyes had locked in place, two triggers pulled back taut, waiting to erase what the other sought. Be it gold or riches or love or power or fame or ivory coated witches that were taught no shame, the two titans did not know the immensity of the moment, the branching of the seed from the future calmly planted. The trees now grow so far they cover up the room where two great conquerors once sparred while destruction darkly loomed. A storm gathered on the horizon, thundering like drums, winds strong like poison greed as fast as guns. They say the smoke still lingers in all the old, pervasive places, and that the forest still has fingers in all the empty spaces.

A wild, new world
I'm waiting, for someone to care, for people to change, realize what they're doing and why. I want to stop thinking that I am alonee, want to know there's someone else that thinks like I do you and sees how the rest of these people are so shadowed and blind. I want to see the good times again, and I want to remember these moments, knowing there are more to come. But my hope is falling through my fingers, as each day passes drearily in the same **** way. Without Change. And I wonder why people think their way of life is Okayy. I want to fill the lonely emptiness and longing I have, but they continue to make me more and even more empty, leaving me a shell of the wonderous possibly I know I can be. Just held back by their thoughts of their reality. They can try to listen to me, like anyone should, but I know they just don't understand, and I just wish I could change that, and let them see what I see, how ugly they really are. Allow them to know what their actions really spell. I want to escape to a place with passion, not passiveness. A place with spirit and soul and color and good vibes, full of true originality and heart. With NO INTENTIONS. Just truth. Just simplicity. Just happiness and laughter and love. No consequences. No melodramaticacy. A place where there are no fake smiles, only unstoppable dimples. Made by REAL and TRUE moments, moments so rare to me now I can hardly remember the last. I just want the truth, not lies. And I want everything the world can offer. Is that too much to ask? I want risk. Where did that go? I want to be and feel like an entire human being living for true happiness and potential, fulfilling dreams, no matter the circumstances. But these kids, these future conquerors of the world, they continue to allow themselves to be completely controlled by the social norms of our ******* society. I refuse. But it has no mercy, society is a killer, high school it's ally. It controls, infects, then kills the soul. A sad death all too willingly accepted. It hazes the youths real priorities, and takes over the immune system, rejecting difference.

I want to fill the lonely emptiness and longing I have, but they continue to make me more and even more empty, leaving me a shell of the wonderous possibly I know I can be. Just held back by their thoughts of their reality. They can try to listen to me, like anyone should, but I know they just don't understand, and I just wish I could change that, and let them see what I see, how ugly they really are. Allow them to know what their actions really spell. I want to escape to a place with passion, not passiveness. A place with spirit and soul and color and good vibes, full of true originality and heart. With NO INTENTIONS. Just truth. Just simplicity. Just happiness and laughter and love. No consequences. No melodramaticacy. A place where there are no fake smiles, only unstoppable dimples. Made by REAL and TRUE moments, moments so rare to me now I can hardly remember the last. I just want the truth, not lies. And I want everything the world can offer. Is that too much to ask? I want risk. Where did that go? I want to be and feel like an entire human being living for true happiness and potential, fulfilling dreams, no matter the circumstances. But these kids, these future conquerors of the world, they continue to allow themselves to be completely controlled by the social norms of our ******* society. I refuse. But it has no mercy, society is a killer, high school it's ally. It controls, infects, then kills the soul. A sad death all too willingly accepted. It hazes the youths real priorities, and takes over the immune system, rejecting difference.

Corruption is an overflowing abundance of inadequate language. As few will fathom the misleading of those in lead, and those who think they see may be mislead; even more than those who don't. Our ends are never the beginning madmen are not our conquerors but instead the folly of commoners. It was our lack of a auspicious aptitude that begets us to lament even the foggiest of concepts beyond our notion to conceive even simplicity. It was only eager creatures that yearned for the world to be theirs so instead of uniting the kingdom; we were segregated into classes and left without language to communicate.

Language Barrier
Crumbling pillars of the Parthenon Like the gods be praised, Are eroding away to bread crumbs. And as the conquerors came To claim the land for the king Were reclaimed by the gaping tide. And the forays into memory Bring back nostalgia, Breaking into burnt Polaroid past. The sea swept the tide from under me, Gone are the gods and their kings, Gone are the photos of useless things.

The Kingdom of Amnesia
Colorado mountains climb into thin air And demand two reasons to be speechless Peaks that quench and ignite existence And silently demand reverence Beauty and terror wed Uncanny companions Hardest and softest thrive Unspoken and unspeaking Ascending conquerors The spider and the flower

TRUE CONQUEST A bird's resting nest may be very small , But that is of no consequence at all ! Since the sky above its head is vast and wide , Where it can spread its wings and fly, - Across the vast expanse of the ethereal blue sky ! Here on ground where we jostle for living space , Man’s hunger and greed does not abate ! Alexander , Napoleon, and ****** had tried conquer and shackle this earth, But their conquests never could last! I recall Leo Tolstoy's short story once more. After having covered the furthest corners of the land under his feet; Galloping at top speed to make his conquest complete , The rider totally exhausted falls on the ground, Collapses and dies without a sound ! Only six feet of ground sufficed for his grave! And so it has been for the bravest of our braves ! Now I recall the great Buddha under the banyan tree ; And the Messiah who entered Jerusalem mounted on a donkey, With shouts of ‘ Hosanna’ and with palms spread across His feet ! Were true World Conquerors beyond defeat! - Raj Nandy    New Delhi •

TRUE CONQUEST !
O, Ye samaria Harken unto us, For this is how far the Lord has brought us "We Gehazi" For By our afflictions Did thee left us In the stench over the gates of the city There We sat in our rags And wobbled in the burns of the fiery sun But When night invaded the peace of the sun Was the burns gobbled wholly Allowing the malicious cold breeze Pierce through our bones and marrow Like the arrows of the syrians Yet Now and then Will thy hearts Befriend compassion And serve us with the remains of thy garbages And yea, Their pungent aroma we gasp with delight And although,it came with a bruised satiety It curbed our curse and anxieties We were wasted,yet death feared to waste us whole But In the times When thy comforting abundance Was clutch and struck by thine enemies Did thy desperation for quench Plunge through our lungs and stomach Like Thee,we were hoist by famish Yet exceedingly And our souls will bleed relentlessly When we prayed and wept "Why sit we here until we die" There The spirit of the lord Descended in our midst O,we unclean And made us more valiant than thine armies We bacame conquerors of thine enemies When We stride Through the valleys Of the shadows of death And every step we made scaled our breath Yet through all,and Truth His rod comforted us And oblivious of our fate He set banquets in the tents Of our enemies Our rags did he made the finest robes And in our care did he bade their luxuries O, Ye doubtors and despaired samarians Harken unto us For we carry the glad tidings of the lord Behold! Ye all on this day Shall witness the great abundance Of the lord And testify his mighty works for all UNCLEAN 2 Kings 7 vrs 3 ©Historian E.Lexano
