Bad poetry makes me ugly:
Look, each line, a cliche
Each blemish, a simile;
My smile grows more bitingly smug
With each overzealous superlative.

My raccoon eyes are ringed
By metaphorical self delusions,
Badly performing alliteration-
All improvisations of incompetence;
And then the clash of symbol, deranges all thought.

Choose only the wound that is in your heart
That you would earnestly enlarge upon,
Steadfastly ignoring all the others.
So is this an addiction, a crude misconception?
Mostly feeling the wind creased in the wrong direction.
What I thought I like, what they told me I was,
Now fades from the glimpses of eternity.

Fashioning a pedestal for a new tomorrow,
Blind but with faith I caress all this sorrow,
I bid you adieu, *******, subdued.
No I am not in remorse, I cannot alter my force.

By the fact that the energy deranges like swollen entropy.
Can be acknowledged yet immaterial to intrigue.
Echoing the silence that for soothers to ring.
Loss of the false feel of psuedo-histrionic-apathy.
I guess we we're all wrong at some point, I still feel confused, it is just a feeling so maybe I need to stick to it?
A part of the world where there's no dawn
Lies a factory of processed hatred
It stays unaffected
Within its walls
Not one person has able to locate it
Due to the fact it was never supposed to be found
Conspiracy abound
It is not ingested
Leaving the populace congested
With retorts and unpleasant exchanges
Increasing the percentage of the deranges
How are we able to survive in this?
I can't comprehend the stronger minds
How did they pull it off?
I want to know
I aim to shut down the Hatred Factory
It should of never transpired
It lurks for people to hire
And does the exact opposite of aspire
That's why we never get higher
Just lower on the barometer
Wake up
Wake up
Please, for the future
But I guess it will be too late.

Keep your products from the Hatred Factory
I'll stay outside of its influence.

CRESENT OF SINS
full and half empty bottles of beer;
scattered broken glasses,
deranges the cracked brown hued floor
music gales from an old c.d changer
inebriated guzzler mumbles in incoherent murmur
denuded nubile cavorts merrily
their sleek oiled frame shimmering in the fuzzy light
ghoulish **** silhouette walks in fluid and sinuous manner
fog like smoke chokes the room
marijuana and cigarette smoke amalgamates
swirling up merged into an eternal marriage
heels clad trollops clatters in the room
swaying their assets provocatively
boozers gapes intently with hazy eyes
raising their neck in unison
they ogle at the lure with entranced lust
two vague humanoid shapes lurks in a corner
moans escaping in raspy staccato
musk,*****,drugs defines this room
besotted species lie on filthy squalid floor
vocalizing dirge melodies
lost in muddled blur
dancers prances up and down
crushing cans and glasses in spirited tempo
yelling their lungs out
as the music drown their voices and worries
deep in the gist of the city
irrational rants emanates from every angle
sundry light floods the clear night
as merry goers sip cheap and expensive liquor
sloven hookers milks cash from patrons
the night conceal this cresent of sins
everyone is on a business
the party continues
the music get more stentorian

and in all - who deranges the work of thought? no one - in its weaker endeavors, it merely deranges itself th(r)ough the false desire for public validity.

and has not all anglophone intellectualism
been nothing more,
or become nothing more:
than a case of validation?
it just seems a validation for a sorry
case: of a club of plum kidneys
poached in punches...
  ******, you cry one more time,
i'll add another worth's of harvest...
oh, i'm not apprehensive of
violence, i sometimes punch myself
in the face to test the mercedes glee -
might as well, it's worth the wait.

they, these people talk so much,
can i make a suggestion?
the the 1st 2nd amendment?
i.e. you are free to speak,
but you're also free to get
a leech knuckle punch -
  can i introduce the freedom
of thought, as the higher
prioritised base concerning for law?

it's what kierkegaard wrote
as the antithesis for the american
constitution:
people complain about a "freedom"
of speech, yet so little managed
to concern themselves about
a freedom of "speech":
that ambiguity, that's thought.

am i really the one to care?
      we talk as much *******
as we think it,
   who cares about hearing the raw
herring flappers stinking with
ultra-caviar perfumermery?
    cheque please!
i'm this close to about to: puke.

oddly enough i'd revive a state of
politics with:
      you have the freedom to think
what you want...
oh right... the claustrophobics...
apparently thinking is a congested
place, or some sort of claustrophobia
hell..
       were americans claustrophobic
to begin with, feeling their egos
and thoughts couldn't fit
into their heads?!

   priests always, so far, always derail their
train of believers with their sermons,
does that matter?
  it matters on the grounds of secular
terms...

and yes, my life is like an art gallery
with only one painting in it...
     i have a canvas,
              i have a painting,
i have an inanimate object either side
of the painting,
      there are the inanimate objects within
the pain-taking (painting) observation,
then there's the observer, who also
looks like a whooped hoping pigeon
on one leg pretending a tango -
        only if in your life does there
emerge a canvas, can you start to form
yourself into a true observe -
  a true observer in that you paint:
by being the unobservable unobserved -
"telekinetic" in the sense of:
                        the unavoidable change -
taking place, without surprise or
warning...
           then again i live in a telekinetic zoo...
i change without want or will,
  on the carousel of seasons...
                a *work of thought
, as ever,
is hugely undermined,
      since this "work" does not eventuate
in the zenith of telekinesis...
           and as any fancy -
     psychology fakes "progress" by attaining
telepathy - psychology is just shy of
attaining telepathy -
  but it does so, nonetheless, by its rainbow
of pathologies exhumed from the crypts
of the unconscious;

summa summarum:
psychology deems to call telepathy -
         dialogue,
                a one sided case of
      the psychologist being the narrator -
and the patient, as any patient,
       only a julien sorel in stendhal's work...

i find that all psychologists are
psychopaths -
               they're atheists for the most part,
who deal with the logic of the pathos of
a psyche (the workings of the ailing of possessing
a soul) - they're like cyborgs asked a moral
question...
                  they deal with the pathology
of a non-existent soul - or otherwise they
try to treat asthma -
  another term for breath in grecian -
         or some other variant of the debate...
don't know, don't care, i have a dinner to cook:
meatballs in tomato sauce with rice and
beetroot & cucumber pickles; sorry.

If nothing. Ever. *******. Changes.
The next best thing just rearranges.
Everything your bleary mind
Remembers you would hide behind.

If nothing. Ever. *******. Changes.
Same old **** you moved deranges
Warping so you'll never find
What not to see you must be blind.

If nothing. Ever. *******. Changes.
You stand still while life estranges.
What's immobile can't unwind
Leaving you taught, alone, unkind.

"No, nothing never doesn't stay the same"

"So something forever isn't sort of a game?"

Yeah, the name doesn't blame what it buckles in shame
the name doesn't blame  under shame.

That’s not all we crave for
Need to think greater and apart
Cease the heart that pertains to sink
Call the clouds and moon to fill

Something deep rings, deranges the mind
All of a sudden takes a good hype
Rule, that arouses your way to fluctuate
You always stand, start to communicate

Stop staring at case studies of contacts
Wrap yourself with a fake display
Curb the waves that come out of you
Evaporate the saline feelings every second, each day

Keep a watchword on the box
Remember the stones and stars from it
Never give a way to form a channel
Reach to the accounts and blast the kernel

Stuck to the part
                Taste the fodder
Rely upon the words
                That come from the locker

You tried every time to set in
It’s not worth being benign, you see
Prayed and yelled, stooped and flowed
Two and three but next comes all

Going then on the trial for sure
Deeming and searching for the new and more
The twin feeling still exists here
But the keys that open, don’t care to bother

Rank your necessities and set your liabilities
As a sequel, honor will be yours
Leave the opponent and ponder for winning
Close to the soul, bear no more

The tale is written in stone.
Peril to the passionate fool who
Ignores the legend!
A cruel fate for him
Who scales the bitterly cold
Heights without the aid of
A mask!

At those exposed,
Heroic points on the arc,
Our breath labors halting
Shallow,
Short.
Our insides
Blister and blaze
From our pulsing focus;
We clutch in agony.
The tenacity of our legs and
The strength of our arms remains
In doubt.
There’s not much more to give.

Still, we envision ourselves
At the apex,
Standing
Above the rest of mankind --
Critically weakened but
Still standing.
From that upswept perch,
We reach out for the prize,
Where the
Ring and rise of love
Wings free, untethered!

Drunk with adrenaline,
Dazed in desire,
Absurdly courageous!

It’s as if the slackened capacity
To breathe is compensated by
The means to aviate!
The stratospheric air
Deranges the senses
And we take a pauper’s pride
In the fleeting flight of
The spirit:

Contact!
Nose up.
Head wind rising...
Just blue above; beyond, the stars!
Ice forming. Gravity fading.
Drafting and drifting in a
Cold, crisp climb.
Fear flung far!

We cannot fall!
No...
We will not plunge to defeat,
Disappearing
Beneath the mist that drapes
The mountain below.
We are kept safe in God’s grasp
Once again.
Our purpose is pure…

But, alas,
Fall we will;
Plunge we must.

For this moment has been foretold:
We are but the children of Daedalus,
The great artificer of old.
We carry on the ill-fated conceit
Of winged Icarus!

This lot was cast long ago and
Is prologue to our
Descent
Into sadness.
We will henceforth walk amid
The smoldering ruins as
Empty-men.
Less actors, more specters;
Haunting,
Hunted,
Forsaken.

Eternally separate, we are,
From the over-world of lovers,
Sweetly wooing;
Forever seeking a way out
Of this flat earth,
This parched plane of
Pain and decay.

We struggle to find a place
Of forest greens and verdant fields of
Soft swells and subtle curves;
A place where water laps and crests,
Glistening clear or foaming ferocious!
Where magnificent mountains
Tilt and ****** heavenward,
Up through a misty canopy...

To reclaim the quest...to
Reach for the prize and
Climb again!

To rise to a place where
We might die...

But we may also fly.
The pain of separation is real. At least I can get lost in words.

How it deranges the stalwarts albinos
from hither and thither wrestling pale apoplexies
on the loose sails the Standard bearer
never one held as cargo for the auctioneers block
see but a singular scholar of distinction
unfolded not in cotton or cane bushes in sweated bow
rather resplendent sublime self ownership
disdainful of ****** wanton lures in porcelain thighs
not in ***** dens nor in hands with knaves
unknown at ale houses chasing demons in fire water
neither seen at toss and turn for a quick buck
a paragon worthy from the high table of the landed
in inherent grace and noble favour
thus to all hicks and serfs the anomaly of our woes
and raging curse of our discontents
in envy they toil as they languish perdition and strife
a moor with more than the wretches
come bear arms heathens and conquer this nightmare
we are the harlequins of animal farm
hahaha  hahaha  hahaha
satire, mass, frustrations, first world problems, small minds, ignorance

— The End —
