"debasement" poems
Piggies dancing, floating along narrow passages towards what they hope is their ends. Their means have been stolen and packaged and sold by big suited, corporate, handy-handy machines. They eat piggies every day and love it, love it, love it down their gullet. They are not worth a mention yet they get it, they want nothing but your attention, they don’t need it yet they get it. Their appetites are insatiable and contagious, they use it against us by showing us how we are nothing but what they are     and we are fools enough to take it as Truth.                                                                                                                                                                  Shame. We have shame because they debase us and hence debase themselves. We have shame because we see their debasement and yet powerlessness is in our bones. We have shame because all we want is not all we get and nowhere near all we deserve, -it measures much lower.    It is irrelevant, it is biased, it is useless, IT is un-real-(UnRealistic, UnRelated, UnTrue)                                                                                                                                                            Lie. If my breath stinks or my hair is greasy or my cloths ***** my teeth yellowed, my feet smelly, my nails long, my social life quiet and solicitous-   will you discern a negativity in my human-ness? We are no villains. We hate only those who would have us believe that we must hate ourselves and each other. They are no beasts like us. The animal within, encased by a carapace of Humanity glued and mortared by self-centered ideologies gets too thick and you must break it by looking at yourself. ******** and ******* and spitting and grunting and moaning in ecstasy and pain. Repeat after me and say it loud with beastly yell “ I am a ********* beautiful Animal!”

I feel for you for we all have our own deep-seeded insecurities. But you lost me when you chose to act on that insecurity in a profoundly false and disgusting way. Instead of using it to fuel the drive to self-betterment, You made it your personal license to shame others. Pushing, imposing your authority that’s shot to hell You chose the road that leads to losing everyone’s respect. Pulling, shoving just to get ahead in the game You’re a crab in a bucket and you’ve got no shame. The others you’ve pulled to debasement to show your worthiness Are the same people who can attest to your worthlessness. These acts of self-preservation, of making oneself superior to others Displays not how high you’ve flown, But how far beneath the same people you trample on you’ve fallen. So, fall if you will But don’t take everyone else down with you.

Crab Mentality
When crypto fans approach us And say “We’re on the same team” Invite them to grasp our vision And see if they share our dream Say, “Great, now you’re joining us to… Adopt seizure resistant money? Boost personal power and accountability? Separate money from state control and abuse? Restore proper capital allocation through hard money? Forsake the fiat fraud and cancel the Cantillon privilege? Allow people to simply save and store value through time? Cultivate new freedom for billions of people under tyranny? Abolish the theft of our time and wealth through debasement? Increase long-term work and vision in all areas due to stable money? Abandon foolish agendas and wars made possible only by printing money for free?” Then they can humbly join us Bitcoin’s purpose in their mind Or see they are “not on our team” And sadly - get left behind

The Bitcoin Team (Bitcoin Poem 059)
it feels like you have my heart poised, perfectly, between your thumb and forefinger; rubbing and squeezing and pulsating until blood is drawn and the warm fluid slides down your wrist. whilst you aren’t texting back, i’m emptying the remaining pieces of myself into a cup of coffee. each swirl of the teaspoon is another uneasy breath expelled; i pour milk into my stained mug in the same vain that i pour what remains of me into your open mouth. i don’t know if you want it; maybe you like your coffee black but i've never given you that option. pouring and pouring and pouring. pouring myself into you without permission, without self-awareness or a need for reciprocation. i try to water you like a plant whose roots are already swimming in water. i think your mug might be full already but i can't stop, i want to but I can't withdraw. i'm going to pour and pour and pour until you never touch another cup of coffee for the remainder of your days, till the smell makes you gag and cafes' become scorched ground. at this point coffee is the only thing that it feels like i know; my organs floating amongst pools of sharp, bitter liquid. i push it longer and longer and longer, the hours between meals stretch into days stretching into lightheaded bouts of fainting. but it’s okay because i feel like i'm floating. so empty and sparse that i could keep pouring myself into you for an eternity and you would never get too full, your cup would never overflow from too much of me. but i'm tired. tired of guessing and crying and starving and giving myself to you. i am not a watering can and you are not a wild garden. you are beautiful and I am hollow, the lifeless impression of what could have been lying in the freshly seeded soil. you are the budding head of the snowdrops in the spring, i am decay, rot and debasement. you didn’t ask for it, you didn’t ask for any of this; you wanted me to stop. to stop trying to embed myself into you like dirt under your nails. but that is the crux of it all my dear; i can't and i don’t know how to. so i keep going, i kiss your bruises and clean your wounds; pouring and pouring and pouring.

coffee and watering cans

I miss being filled with a sense of here and now from the unclouded mental vision of youth before the eclosion from adolescent reverie to adult delusions. Every moment thereafter being crystallized with serene debasement of self. With age eagerly gripping the hand of heartache, will you worry about losing relevance? survey says, an astounding "YES" Frightening, knee-knocking shoot the stranger who walks at dusk questions arise... How long will my mental faculties survive this torment of existence? How long till I am the stranger blinded and in the dark? How long till I am the fly caught in a web of ineptitude? Forever the convalescent, I revel in and reveal the depths of human insolence. For, ever striving to be the emotion-less outsider, I become buried beneath the inherent ephemerality of cerebral acuity.

Flowery Angst.
tattoos, the mark of Cain instinctively inducing revulsion stirring a mix of fear and hate and of contempt and pity today a common mark of man mistaking individuality for identity abhorrence for affirmation of being and grotesque debasement for beauty the mark of exile, rejection, and wickedness now of fellowship, freedom, and choice embracing the perverse to shock as all children do now permanently etched, defiant without understanding perhaps it is fitting and timely now for the world is going the way of Cain the mark of man is yet another sign manifesting openly for those given to see

Tattoos
Extinguished beneath the pressure of stifling darkness; the blackness a behemoth caressing me with oil slick fingers. Bound with shackles of my own forging, chained to the dank confinement of shame with iron bracelets made up of every hurt I felt, each sting I’d inflicted. Comforted by the weight of my own disease, dragging me down deeper into the depths of myself; swarmed by demons cutting slices of me for their devouring. Blistered fingers claw at the dirt, broken nails taking insignificant strongholds in the battle. New shackles being forced into place where old ones were severed, cutting new wounds where old ones were healed. Then, a searing light burns through the airless tomb where I lay, my sweat still glistening in the after hours of my latest debasement. Eyes burning, unaccustomed to the phosphorescent glow after years of stapling them shut to the vision of horror I became. A new tsunami of dishonour throws me back, twisting my shackles tighter around bound limbs. Now I am free and live to feel the sun on my skin, no longer translucent and sallow. Each sound and sensation sending ripples of pleasure through my soul, but still I limp, and my wrists are scarred.

Healing
Sick with second guessing The bitterness is back Beyond any classification I'm exhausted of it all Long past petty five steps I've sat outside long enough in the cold To know it doesn't get any warmer Nostalgia's rough grasp Clasped about my neck I feel more and more With every forced breath And the more I feel the less I know It all leads to the inexplicable The redundant and The impossible to reconcile Loneliness infatuated With this idea of the unknown Through some lust manifests Into a dire fear of being alone And that fear carries forward Incessant debasement And all the best advice I've ever heard Is now drowned out by the rainfall Dripping drops of memories Seep into wounds still being licked With a wincing at the past While bracing myself for the crash There was somewhere lifetimes ago When a warmth was prevalent enough But all that feels like fantasy now Some sick obsession with comfort The idea of Being yearned for Thought of Touched, kissed Dreamed Breathed All things senseless yet Fulfilling for the senses Creating some Sense of belonging It's all slipping, sliding Moving out of view Writhing and shaking My body shivers Off any remaining Icicles of doubt I know the bitterness is back I know the rain will keep falling harder And right now, try and try as I might, I just can't get this **** cigarette to light

bitter; yet another sequel
Show me the forbidden petals of your dark side, where enlightenment pulsates with her superior intellectual reliance upon rationalism. What are the parameters of absolutism and relativism in this age, where I have discoursed with austere figures of the debased brotherhood? Can you wrap your fingers around the girth of societal modernity, and stroke the length of paradoxical sophistication where philosophical death displays her unfathomable depths? I have found resolution to this mathematical perplexity amidst our blatantly secret desert storm, where the cosmological clock ceases to denote her tick beyond the circumference of our interior sociology. Looking back to the future – what do you think of your first love? As we gather in the sacred circle around ancient and dreamy wishes, the spectres of dark forests are worthy of homage on this calendar season of historical significance. Limp, is the phallus of political rectitude. There is something beautifully menacing about the sound of bass drums, especially whenever there is a cultural context. Do you know why? Because, they are connected to the melody and harmony, where the fullness of ontology is climactic in its lofty debasement.

The Dexterity of Fallen Stars
To raise a seagull would be no small task – do you know why? Because both you and I are not seagulls. If an individual is perceived to be revolting, then the question arises as to whether non-conformity or debasement are the identifiable issue. Like those cheapened activities which are secretly laid bare within the hotel hallways of Sin City, my immeasurable and baron liaisons have also been revolted by scorpion-like stings, as the wind promotes her seductive and tantalising thoughts through the brushwood of Autumnal celebrations around the vicinity of Nevada. It is important to understand that the fullness of sound involves the synchronicity of isolated connectedness, and that we validate both the message and the messenger. Balancing acceptance and change is horribly attractive. Do you know why, my reciprocal affiliation of that which is considered to be humanity? For that which is conceived, formed and reproduced within the solar system of Nirvana is not so readily articulated within the parameters of epistemology. Aren’t ornithology and psychology both flighty?

The Span of a Feathered Reverberation.
When people can’t save value In their money system, because Of debasement of the currency, Then they learn to save in assets. Houses remain the top choice to Save and preserve monetary value Which leads to higher priced homes Therefore If we have a hard money that holds Value then people can simply save In money and home prices will drop To the normal utility value of a home This will make homes more affordable For more people across the world Bitcoin is the hard money solution

The voice of a jury is likened to the sound of a falling pin which shatters the silence of an empty auditorium. How challenged, do you think, are our sophisticated and deviant ecosystems? Colorful chords are not dissimilar to our ancient and perpendicular attachments to the transcendental concepts of time and space. Although our socio-political and oratory genius have confined themselves to the caverns of contemporary debasement, your skin reminds me of a drenched hillside, where meteorological adversities display their historical guilt, whilst the soulful cries of murdered clansmen echo across monumental valleys of geographical distaste. Look at those majestic ships, as they find their ambivalent salesmanship within the docks of emasculation. The criminal code of perplexity has revealed her wanton fornication in the peaks and troughs of farmland swell. I acknowledge the rhythm that is to be appreciated as the waterfall of cosmological infringement dangles her seductive strands of subversive proclamation across the face of justice. And I wholeheartedly accept your unacceptable suggestions, oh mistress of the abyss.

The Final Verdict
Signed us up. One more round. Stagger through another year of attrition, searing heat and self-effacement. When that black **** bubbles up                        through every crevice in the ground, we'll know our heroes finally died                        down in the basement. This city's getting small. I've gotten mean, you're getting old. But your cold feet won't save you when you're dancing on those coals. The verdict's been returned, it seems they're moving to convict. And I can't really blame them anymore. Every Summer it gets hotter than a crooked priest's Hell. But we're shaking while we sweat with too much time that's left to **** 'cuz it's ****** in the courtroom when the judge cracks a joke. But you've heard this ******* punchline before. Here we go, one more time. Keep it fluid, keep it light as you're waltzing through these streets that aren't your friends now. You've got so much love to give,                         I won't say what I've done with mine. But there's no such thing as rest                         for tired, old clowns. Light me up, then play me out. Stumble through another year of attrition, mounting bills and self-debasement. When that black **** bubbles up                         through every crevice in the ground, we'll know our heroes finally died                         down in the basement.

We found our best sly roundabout way Moving money from government sway Bitcoin is strong - they cannot halt The elegant network, or break the vault Hayek foresaw the deeply set need To better the money, minus the greed With interest rate that’s naturally found And not distorted, lowered or bound Bitcoin, the peaceful revolution A useful decentralized solution Stops debasement & halts the power Of looters who seek to steal each hour Enhances freedom across the lands Adds real value into people’s hands Friedrich Hayek had this truth to say We must find a sly roundabout way

Sly Roundabout Way (Bitcoin Poem 049)
Neither Ghost nor Father nor a Sun But still a 3-in-1, with a flash of lightning laying scarred between them eyes All together yet always alone Standing behind a dais on Zoom invoking with the one good 20/20 between them, broadcasting words into being, manifesting Hitlerian spells to bewitch and to squander the True Tales of a Plummeting Icarus Struck Down wingless (but not forgotten) by some transcendental debasement. Admire as 'They yet She' reel a bit, employing a well-worn tactical maneuver, now, getting steady, holding on ever tighter to the wood. These my w.c.fieldsian barkers who share a predestined and enflambed yet glorious lavender-tinged third eye, with little specks of gold, surrounding... Inspired, Transported, 'They yet She' look to be pinning it down This very specific Message from the Heavens, straight. 'They yet She' are converging and this should be your takeaway So kind of pay attention, Please. "'The Lord sayeth unto me that all Men are Fools, given to wanton callowness' To which i reply: 'If only they would look into the cavity, and reach deeply and far-flung to grasp, or rather, to treasure just one of a myriad of interchangeable divine possibilities For within the obscurity rests The Glory of All or Nothing and back again for Eternity; the Eight laying down to rest, tired. And so ends The Lesson.' To which the Lord replied 'Well done U!' and better still, 'They yet She' intoned, satisfied with a sly, flyaway wink 'I know!'"

The years......
The anguish flows when money dies Amid the child’s and mother’s cries It comes when scarcity is lost And money made without a cost Taking savings, stealing time Open theft through hidden crime Stones or feathers, shells or beads These all once filled money needs And represented hours of work Yet money died when people shirk And made more units, cheap and fast Then money died - it did not last We work for money - you and me But central banks just print for free Fiat money - scarce no longer Loss of savings growing stronger We need scarcity - absolute No debasement - no dispute Bitcoin provides the solution clear Thank God Bitcoin’s finally here 180 nations - use fiat today All are dying - come what may Bitcoin conquers the fiat lies Bitcoin is Hope, when money dies

BROKEN PLOTS, BOGUS BELIEFS
Millions are flowing to Bitcoin And joining this stable ship But almost none are flowing out As Bitcoin is a one way trip Many are coming for safety From debasement’s steady drip They stay as their value grows Thus Bitcoin is a one way trip Some flow to bitcoin for freedom From the tyrant’s desperate grip And then grow more committed As Bitcoin is a one way trip Sometimes the price will bore you And sometimes the price will rip But over years, the value soars For Bitcoin is a one way trip It’s a one way trip for people So far, a one way trip for price Make the trip over to bitcoin You won’t need to make it twice

Bitcoin: A One Way Trip (Bitcoin Poem 114)
I grew up watching my parents reduce themselves to their bassist. Oops, that's a typo: They are not musicians. Debasement, so crass. Humiliation on full blast. But I guess it's a fairly common thing to dread family vacations. My mom can't take the hint. She can't tell when we're disinterested. My dad talks a bunch of crazy **** despite who might be listening. There's an unspoken comraderie amongst us siblings. We're all in this together. We fight our inherited, unwanted, self-destructive tendencies. When I lose a battle I can always count on them to make me feel better. Two have found ther wings. They flew away from this place. One soars high, but I fear the other found himself another cage. It's okay, I think. I mean, I think he'll be okay. As for us remaining two, we're slowly making our way. Our way out, is what I mean. It's what I meant to say. This nest hasn't been kept very warm, but I guess it's still a home. With two featherless, flightless birds to deal with; I'm glad I didn't have to go it alone.

Birds of a Feather
We are all sycophantic suitors of death Chasing that wasting rot and decay In a roundabout sick sort of way Suckling the toxic *** of excitement Rushes and blushes demure and debasement Faster and faster till haste becomes more than mere waste Diligent drug users ******* up smoke laced with nicotine Embracing and tasting various brands of caffeine Red meat and carbs pretty woman and fast cars Working to **** much and playing twice as hard Climbing mountains, hunting new types of prey Starting fights riding wild and rough waves Too much sun or not enough UV rays Waking up early and going to bed late Silence and stillness is not the enemy of the state But we are all just chasing the only thing that could be called fate We all die to **** young but I’d like to check out late
