"conscription" poems
[I accidentally deleted this, so now I'm reposting it] This is not an attack, it is expression. *This apparently isn't a very popular subject, but then again, when has popularity changed anyone's mind..* -- **** the 'Selective Service System'; the SSS. It's neo-conscription. FDR made us a deal we couldn't refuse which included a stipulation that about half of us still cannot refuse: Selective Service also known as Peacetime Draft But only for males. Only the males. Not the females, though. Oh, no, not the females; We need the Females to bake the next batch of mindless soldiers/housewives/neoslaves. We need the women to uphold the status-quo. We need our women to remain passive, docile, and beautiful ******* doormats for our glorious and infallible western society. We need our women to be complaint, subservient, sex-starved, archaic-gender-role embodiments. I see it as overtly 'cherry-picking' as well as misogyny both ways; sexist, selfish, and prejudiced on both sides: 'Feminists' (read: Feminazis) claim to plea for true gender equality, but here is my plea: If such is true, where then are their demands for mandatory selective service? Why do they feel above reproach when it comes to the unsavory sides of society? Why do they turn a blind eye to the ******* Draft if they ***** up such a storm about equality? Why is it not a federal offense punishable by a $250,000 fine as well as up to 5 years in prison for a female to not sign their life away to the military from when they turn 18 until at least 25? How is that 'gender equality'? Huh? They, too, are cherry-picking. -

Selective Service (Selcetive Reverse Sexism)

Addicted to diction, With conflicting Prescriptions From competing Physicians, I'm dying from sickness In the wealthcare system. Our nutrition Is based on Corn-laced fiction, Advertisement Superstitions, And a pill for every Devised affliction. We're born into life Under welfare Conscription, And destined to die From dereliction. Make sure to vote For the best Infection in the Next election, As they raise A toast To their own Reflections.

-- Pleasure Tastes Great In Red!--
Black, Swiss cheese hulk on horizon The James Longstreet immobile old freighter of the bay Towed to the ignominy of its last commission in the curled arm of The Cape Tides flex their muscles against it But The Longstreet is steadfast in its dark purpose Standing target for practice A sortie if planes home in on its bulk Honing their skills on this “fish-in-a-barrel” Thunderhead-etched pyrotechnics Booming follows the miles over water Against The Longstreet’s silhouette enduring even God fixes sights firing bolts across its bow taking aim at our futures Standing targets for practice Vietnam? Cape Cod? No difference to teens before life’s ocean of conscription Sand is cold beneath dunes Beach grass rustles to the pulsing surf to the wind’s whispers just below hearing as if there’s a secret that must be kept We are targets for practice We are meaningless din Pulling our sweatshirts and blanket closer The Supremes sing thinly from transistor “Stopped for a moment in the name of love— Thinking it over”

Common wealth graveyards are all over in Africa, in India , panama , Latin America and europe, the active fronts in which the allies fought ****** they are beautifully placed in silently posh areas, in langata when in Nairobi, in Mbaraki when in Mombasa, in Matisi when in Kenya, In Namusungui when in Lodwar, They bear horizontal silence with white names engraved on their beautiful face shouting the glory of European empires, which provoked the evil sense in the heart of the king's horseman in Kenya, in the city of Nairobi, to steal the graveyard lands, he made them his urban home with an uppish courtyard, for him the dead white neighbours are better than in-corruption.

******* coma
Dropped off in a desert. Combat uniform tight against me. Sweat gripping my skin in a desperate plea For sanity to return, so I may escape. Gunfire stutters its loud whispers of death against my eardrums. Explosions drown out screams. My own? I blink. The dust engulfs my body as I writhe on the ground; Fetal position my permanent placement. Longing for the ground to swallow me whole, To the comfort of death's womb. Cries of, "Get the hell up! What are you? This is a man's war!" I get up. The gun at my side like an old man's artificial hip; Comfort and support in an unstable land. I look at the chaos and depravity around me. This is supposed to be Heaven to me, Yet the combat boots feel too heavy.

Voluntary Conscription
I never was occupied with the essence of patriotism The altruism of the conscription of the young, to later express gratitude for their service, for their heroism The sensationalism of singing of the anthems, and the so-called 'civil defence' But really, it's all merely an excuse to justify unwarranted offence It's a weapon wielded as a subterfuge for the ethical codes transgressed For capital, people become national and subsequently irrational Due to patriotism, all the decisions of the government are infallible And anyone who opposes said verdicts is radical To continue reading about patriotism, please subscribe it's only $120 per annum. Fees are taxable

Consumer Culture makes me sick, it burns like acid contained in coffee cups the size of your heart exploding. Music that will **** your ears for only a buck because it is a song shaped by greed alongside factories, with smoke stacks acting as sploof tubes, covering the smell of life created just to be killed. They have innocent eyes an organism giving away its only truth for convenience, for simplicity **** your fast food, **** your jellybean president. Employment is conscription to join on the losing side in the war on your time and mind, The Double Bind. You ought to love your country but do you? You ought to compete, go for the win **** your friends, get to the top. Do you know what the prize is? One morning you wake up and find that your game was a farce and you aren't what you really are but what you could of been. Defend your limits. For we are waterfalls, spinning wheels of imagination shaping clay with organic inspirations planting ideas in the fertile unconsciousness Don't form beliefs, form a question. Understand we are ice-9 collectively, we are the watering-system We are the true god through experience mystic disbanded stars that are the galaxies. Properties of our composition suggests that, you better let this water flow, because if you don't a world full of love would love to strike you down making you coo and swoon over the symbols of a dream, the beautiful sunflower riding a bike, hitting a hacky sack perfectly at the end of the day a cup beckons inscribed with your name are you just going to sit and stare at it?

I wake in this city This city that didn't bear me This city that didn't raise me And yet it's this city that i seek to find something of me Not in the pubs or the clubs or the karaoke bars Where revelers conspire to dream and drink to the stars Nor the cafes where poets and artists in a foreign language create. Pass the market stalls where secondhand books and vinyls are stacked like freight It is to the quietened streets of the old town I go Where i long for the walls to speak once more To reveal their hidden histories To help fashion some sense of a man One unknownst to me, my fathers father whose name I share A fine skilled seamster, thus a tailor by trade Not arriving to this city for work on fabrics of nylon and silk But to stitch and sew the flesh of limbs in a paramedic corps Another pawn of the Great War under King George's command Driven only by economic necessity from a penal homeland Not of conscription, politics or some moral conviction at play For the price of neutrality is one that poverty simply refuses to pay Returning home to an Ireland of hostility or silence at best Medals now lying deep in pockets not proudly pinned to chests Irish heroes don't fight in a British war for a King's crown No such stories from father to son shall ever pass down And now, a grainy photograph, three medals for a sons son to take A dog tag that bears my name, a number and RC to depict a faith From a man exiled in his home as a forgotten prisoner of war To honour a legacy i find myself in this city afar Asking the same questions of him as to me Is this city the last place he truly felt free?

I’m sick and tired of people rabbiting on a load of **** About their ******* duty and fighting for freedom For the fat ugly patriotic selfish folks "back home" And pathetic ****** neo-fascist ******** like that And gabbling on a load of sentimental horsedung About giving their all for their ******* useless country When honestly they’d rather be at home in some ugly provincial hick town Patting their nasty mongrel dogs and groping their neighbours’ wives' arses And eating mumsy-wumsy’s over-cooked meat and stodgy apple pie Whilst ensconced on the sofa watching sodding Celebrity Big Brother. How can a soldier nowadays say he didn't want to be there? Are people so ******* thick or blind or moronic not to realise A person volunteers to be in the armed forces in most countries nowadays? There’s no ****** press gangs or ****** conscription any more; People become soldiers because they choose to do so (exceptions include filthy ******* shit-holes like Israel where the young men queue up to **** Palestinian babies for fun) . Therefore soldiers DO want to fight, they DO want the chance to **** And they willingly risk their own ugly unwashed redneck necks. So they have no right to whine and bellyache when they get asked To earn their daily state-paid bread and do a spot of killing Instead of sitting on their overweight arses at MY expense. Or course, they could show some real guts and resign instead, But what the **** why pass up on a chance to do some Legalised ****** and get paid handsomely at the same time. Just in case you think I forgot, I am totally and fully aware That 'he' includes 'she' in this context now that women Have an equal chance to have their military buns blown off pointlessly. So don't whinge or expect sympathy when your body parts come home in a bag. Personally, I am of the belief that the only good soldier is a dead soldier, And the more the merrier. RIP military thugs and up yours.

Stripey, furry, pollen coated Buzzing summer stillness into life, Journey of fertility from stamen to Stamen, pollination, by-product of travail. Sweet honey stored in citadel honeycomb Shaped perfectly, Fibonacci sequence, Queen factory birthing, supplying an army Compulsory conscription, signed up for life Common mind, common goal, calculating Journeys to fertile meadows, returning Debriefing to communicate flight path, Destination situation report, until One day dispatch signals failure The hive is silenced, the computer Turned off.

Deception, purple paper hiding red flesh Our fathers selling our souls to damnation Tearing at our minds with greedy claws Is this right to expect from kin? Seers, red dust and speckled wounds Sears, on supple flesh, oil spilling from sheets Of metal, burning to the desolate sky Carrying the lost dreams of infinity cloud-bound A shield, bound around me, a barrier to hide Dissolves to snakes, a silent hiss Threats from bombs I cannot hear; Bullets I cannot feel yet

Conscription Poem
The Obscenity of Conscript (and PTSD) He sits at the table nursing his beer, Scruffy, unwashed, a bit smelly I fear, When he thinks he's unseen he'll wipe off a tear. Come closer I'll tell you his story. A bank "johnny" married, his future a joy, For a pretty young girl and a fine young boy. But then you decided his "year" to deploy... For a war you did not intend winning. And so, after kissing goodby to his bride, He stepped onto a bus full of vigour and pride, To Kapooka was taken - a happy bus ride... To a war you did not intend winning. By training, his past wiped off that it might Be replaced by the will for a jolly good fight And that he be led by his team to the light... Of a war you did not intend winning. Well, he gave his time plus all that he saw, The killing, the maiming, brute life in the raw, With the drink that he took to escape from your war, A war you did not intend winning. And when it was finished and home he returned, Two years his life missing, by God how that burned, Then by erstwhile good friends he found himself spurned, For fighting your war without winning. Turned back from its door by the ****** RSL. He was just looking to talk with some others as well Who's life, just like his, had been turned into hell For fighting a war without winning. And the lovely young bride who'd looked on with such pride As her husband departed their warm bedside Has found she can't talk to nor get alongside, Of the man she thought had been winning. For he sits at their table hunched over his beer, 'Midst all of those things that he once held dear, And refuses to tell her what she needs to hear, Thus loosing what they'd both been winning. Now she has gone to her mum and her dad, And erstwhile "good friends" think he's gone to the bad But you and I know he's just feeling so sad And never thinks about winning. He sits at the table nursing his beer, Scruffy, unwashed, a bit smelly I fear. When he thinks he's unseen he'll wipe off a tear And now you know his story.

both my grandfather and father were army conscripts without the benefit of a choice, it was conscription... Marshall Law was introduced, hungary didn't feel like a satellite any more, nor did Czechoslovakia in the 60s... the poles were eager to keep the empire intact like the Vietnamese, ironically without as much violence, just empty supermarket shelves... i wasn't given such a benefit, i had to learn a "woman's" trade, being enlisted in the army would have assuredly given me a chance progression into a suitable life, even a lifestyle! i'd be earning enough to distract myself with theatre and opera! alas! i'm not that well instructed to enjoy a comfortable revenue and the comfort of sadistic ballerinas (what i mean is an education in taking orders and not daydream, kept order, a clean pair of shoes, a suit that's not creased)... i know, modern pop and the 8 minute long prog rock piece... let's test our attention spans and care for distractions of digression off the rhythm... it's not necessarily rap worded, nothing about the ghetto, it's not exactly jam-rock Kingston town aphrodisiac... i call it a shared salute, a black panther with a shaved head.. well, somewhere along the line we need a feeling of being in it together.

Kingston Town aphrodisiac (afro dizzy weaving waves)
Light of light disclosed...open and upended--arch shone, there you under it...come to pass. The filaments of earthly wears burn gently away... there the last of them--upright and out of mind a steady waking. Body once upon a time explained away and folded. Waves of euphoria gust weightlessness, the cast of First and Last Things rattle their blinding moorings. Footsteps are kissed away, submit their mountain of weight to the Halls of Posterity. Beauty's freshest presses lay depth and proportion upon the entrant at hand. As a river in continuous stride--profundity endows, carries along the: I of being. It is when it runs through the Elysian Fields pause is taken. Live lights kindle, break their pillared conscription... as radiance knows no rigidity. Light by All definition, giver and taker...everything we swore was about to happen Has happened-- eternity is too large to recount. This embrace awaits the body's duration, has storied its exit timelessly...the Elysian Fields are our playground.

Elysian Fields
Leave this haunted house Leave this haunted heart Take the light from my eyes To guide you in the dark Ease the words from my lips And carve them into your bones Interpolate into the blanks, For these thoughts are useless alone Carry me to the southern front Where the crossfire raises hell And let me lie with you on the ****** beach, Among the silent shells

Transcription & Conscription
Catching semiotic holdings from a cow-licked brain **** Matching periodic scoldings, from a plough of picked-plain art Filled prescription left for digestive tracts dissolution Milled conscription cleft as congestive cracks merge in illusion Temporal reconstruction, as the Adderall seeps into place Federal distribution, as the admiral heaps the case Welled as the spineless listen to a cautionary thought Held as a timeless vision of a stationary plot Pillbox running on fumes, causing fresh hysteria to solidify Paradox coming, dawn looms, pausing thresh, staging an area to demystify Later, new levy forbids pawing fear, spoken rotten, a deloused baiting sound Cater to heavy lids, drawing near the cotton housed waiting ground

Arguable Clarification
These are odd times for us, whether we can perceive it or not It may be that we know but knowing isn't quite as tangible an experience as we'd like We live as overwhelmed individuals in a layered psychological and cellular construction Or, be it better or worse, solitary insecurity clusters ignoring screen after screen Electronics spreading root throughout our air, ground, and following us around Reality a strange blur between the definite, clear sober now and the insistent, ageless imposition of imagery Of pixels and posters and places we've never been Of people that distort our perceptions, degrade our emotions, and misinform us with too many voices Our entertainment often becoming an intellectual and perceptual tranquiliser Or a place to inhabit and let go, when the pressures of economic stability and social conscription to labour need to be forgotten, if only for a while I still hold onto the optimism though I hold onto it because I have to, because I want to, because I believe in it It is my abstract fuel, a state of mind that every now and then gives me the pick me up to plod on The internal negativity clawing at shins reconstructed as a test of masculinity, negativity from the world a test of solidarity I am not infallible, I move slower sometimes, get lost sometimes, can't quite make it tangible and structured sometimes I am reminded that I'm not recession proof, that I'm still the system's ***** and sometimes my buttocks aren't raised quite high enough But.. I keep going. Like we all do. I try to let it exemplify myself a bit more than most, but.. If I can make that girl thank me, that guy give me a smirk, that project go a little faster, that day smell and feel nicer and that anxious night seem a little more transparent Through something as simple as trying to be optimistic and mindful of the self I guess there's something to keeping your chin up

Chin up

Small Town Bias
With baffling reticence these limbs pour-- were they the scream of their creation... space would about-face. A clarion call issued them as stars to constellate a soul. Secure a God's temperament--and of the mind given them, what to derive therefrom? Their wound is not wide from their reticence, the presentiment of their journey is a steady creeping...the inching forth of termless conscription. As pastoral confines bled out the lamb by the Hand of necessity, these limbs have so gathered to impart their sacrifice. A single push of an unfathomable nature sees them thus and thus. What center they contrive's amiss...one cannot take hold the Agony and Ecstasy handed by One so great.

Baffling Reticence
*then you walk into the same forest, and patiently sit, until three owls congregate in a trinity of call to a unison of a bell-ring chime for the ear, before the one-headed Cerberus appears of the north of Gaelic folklore chasing a rabbit into deeper shadow; then you alone will challenge death's sabbath each and every sabbath after for years to come.* but indeed we move with shadow as body in the fathom of night, in darkening of an opened eye peering, to an illumination of a closed eye darting...                but indeed we move as grey between slacked dissection of white into spectrum of rose, daffodil or sky... we move as the grey as the white equivalent in the dark: the moonlit aluminium of faked ageing... ascribe then a poem to an epic of literature... care to dwarf origins? consent then, and conscription to vox supra omni, if not *vox *** ultra*; the last time i heard of a psychiatrist i spoke of drinking in Bower Wood... at night... and spoke of reading Kierkegaard, as speaking of a rebirth of Cnut... there it ended, the modern inquisition of desirable fact... in the lit safety of unused scissors or syringes... there was talk of drinking and the dark wood, which drove away all hopes of exercising medication: for the dark woods were the required medicament, and the spawn of all congregating shadows into a single headed Cerberus chasing a hare from the many congregating, to parallel my nervy silence of sight and such subsequent record.

the grey / vox supra omni
Belgrano Can you hear the curses? I hear them still dead in the air rolling on the grey high seas, fluttering, stuttering, up in the cold stony clouds, frozen like kites in the middle of nowhere. I hear the silence too, of the boys, the young young boy's pressed against the bulwarks and the dead eyed iron, sense their gun metal faces hidden inside the masks of home spun green wool - skittering eyes peeping through knitted balaclavas worn as cold comforters dripping in Atlantic spume. I can hear the whispers, the trembling pampas whispers of near men, close men, light shaven, cropped near-to skull men, some with dark, bull herding eyes , hearts full of Spanish guitar and pampas whistles and beside them the rich city blond men, quiet and bookish, alone with their poets and pebble black rosaries running like the southern tides through their cold chapped fingers. All hugger-mugger equaled by forced conscription, circling in silence within their sea shrouded fears - crammed like live fish quivering in their ancient tin of old victories. Yes I hear them still, calling out for a distant mother's arms, ripping loose their little boy screams that are clear as over head seagulls yet eight thousand miles away. I can hear their raw primitive panic, ancient as the whelps of beaten camp fire dogs echoing back from the steely grey clouds; I see them tearing at the sea born mist, slicing the strings of their pampas kite curses with broken bones and shattered skulls, loosing curses that rise to run above the waves to our shores carrying the lost, little boy simpers of clamour and death that found roost in our forgetful hearts. Yes I still hear the screams, the sea drowned, salt soaked screams, a cold southern ocean full of drowning young Argentine boy dreams (pronounced men before their time), those fire soaked screams and I remember how we the civilized danced on their sad lonely deaths in our distant dry victory soaked streets of triumphant,disregard and screamed ; "Gotcha".
