"diplomatic" poems
If I ruled the world, I would be, Not a benevolent leader, nor, Would I be a tyrannical leader. I would be something much unexpected and, hopefully, humble. You see, I would be a quilt maker. Not of fabric and thread, though. I would stitch the different cultures together, leaving each individual one unique, yet united by a common thread. I would sit with my diplomatic needle and peaceful stitching and lead those whom hold contempt for one another see the other's perspective. I would show them that, The world isn't in black and white, It's in full, high-definition color. So let's celebrate unity, Equality, Individuality, And uniqueness. Because in the final chapter, We all already rule the world. It's up to us to thread ourselves to each other, Or pull ourselves apart by the seams.

Quilting (If I Ruled the World)
"hell yeah?" the burglar asked the pusher. (the burglar: wirily, ambitious. plain appearance, dressed in black. the pusher: wealthy, strong and well-conditioned. sumptuous leather jacket.) "hell yeah", the pusher answered. "now i got what i like and you got what you need." both grinned. after a day of extensive work, they relaxed in a hellish pub. it was visited by diplomatic creatures whose faces were recognizable like shadows. this pub was called babylon 8. the burglar and the pusher touched glasses to celebrate their deal. they drank. "nothing to be written down", the pusher added. burglar nodded. voices of the diplomatic creatures surrounding them; satanic sighs; bold laughter; their sentences sounded like orders that are dictated by judges.    snakes and rats. gravelpitbulls and red cats. creatures with excellent memory. guys who swallow their plans after they had learned them by heart. a while later, a lady entered the pub: adorable like a man's fantasy; imitable like a woman's strategy. her hair color was your desire; her skin color the color of your dreams. her name was fantasy girl. suddenly, the lights went out; suddenly, a lightblue sun illuminated the room. no one noticed. everyone so busy hiding something that nothing was hid. the creatures of babylon 8 therefore didn't perceive the light. fantasy girl ordered a drink. she told the bartender: "i need freedom. that's what i want from you, the people of babylon 8." the bartender a giant with a face full of shining scars; his right ear missing; flashy shirt; an ancient first name; speaker of all world languages combined: the omerta. fantasy girl took a sip from a silver brew which had been served to her by the bartender. she took out a single match and there was no box; a long cigarette between her unknown lips. bartender looked at fantasy girl. without saying a word, he turned his stubble cheek into her direction. fantasy girl lighted the match. lightblue fire. inhaling. smoke. iceblue cloud. the burglar and the pusher had been looking at fantasy girl all the time. fantasy girl held a white fountain pen and took a black sheet out of a green handbag. she began to write.

BABYLON 8. FANTASY GIRL'S SCENE.

There are many definitions of pride, All in which, are perceived from a side, Notable opinions indeed when we’re addressing the dogma that arise when mind project words that express one; wise, However, it’s all contrary to me, Pride isn’t something relating belief, It can’t be put aside if it’s beyond side; choice/time, Egoist defined when declined, rejoice inclined, I can’t respond to a situation, There’s no resolution when living unconditional and uncertain, I am beyond interpretation, I do not allude in illusions and wonder why they’re certain, Abracadabra Hocus-Pocus... Omm, “This State Farm jingle isn’t workin,” AHP; “Magic”; Ouroboros, Analytical Hierarchy Perspective on Serpent, “They have power; They influence the course of events with supernatural forces” That’s Magic? The law of attraction; influencing life with thoughts; Quantum Mechanics, Force is, Say “attract it,” Demographics defining diplomatic, power be to the tree that’s aristocratic, Problematic if geographic determines what’s democratic, Tragic when ethnography constitutes what’s archetypal and habitual; A classic ritual opposite of obsolete; of course bigotries automatic, Bring back the art of holographic, I’m leaning back like Crack if it’s dogmatic, I do not understand how we understand species before intelligent and acknowledge intelligence like we never had it, As if dyslexia was a natural condition; as if this ability was somehow previously hidden so with awareness became magic, Freedom of speech, “But I don’t like your words, sir” Freedom to be, “Those are not the clothes I prefer, sir” Being discrete, “He’s not in my position, he must concur” Oh, What is believed? They’re obligated to assumptions, so they infer most- Too much pride will **** a man, By picking a side he’ll lose a hand, If using his pride he’s sure to win, If losing his mind; insane a friend, Clueless of time; he’ll never die, Til P take a Ride, and replace his pride with another man’s.

Red Velvet has been lauded for breaking stereotypes among popular girl groups in South Korea, whose concepts tend to fall under two categories: "cute, or "pure" and **** to fulfill a certain fantasy; in a country where girl groups' fan bases are typically male,         according to Taylor Glasby of Dazed Digital, the majority of Red Velvet's fans are young women and commented that     "They {Red Velvet & ReVeluv} are neither **** nor innocent, the band's music videos are often dark, trippy, sinister, or haunting, even when they're flooded in pastel colors".       In 2017, IZE Magazine named the group as one of the successful female figures who helped transform the passive image of South Korean women at a time when feminism had risen as an issue in the country.    The group's music also sets them apart from other K-pop artists. K-pop idols in general suffer from a prejudice that they aren't considered real musicians by music critics. But because of the group's diverse musical inspirations and styles, these critics have since claimed that Red Velvet has pushed the boundaries of music in the early 21st century. In February 2018, Time magazine named Red Velvet as one of the best K-pop groups ever, highlighting their versatile musical styles; Red Velvet was recognized for their brand recognition and marketing power, having topped _'Girl Group Brand Power Ranking'_ published by the Korean Corporate Reputation Research Institute for three consecutive months. Red Velvet performed in Pyongyang on April, 1 2018. This made them the fifth idol group to ever perform in North Korea. They performed "Red Flavor" & "Bad Boy" at the East Pyongyang Grand Theater to an audience that included Kim Jong-un. The concert was billed as "Spring is Coming" and is part of a wider diplomatic initiative between the ROK & the DPRK

We're mostly gregarious and polite, Like most of you. We too have our diplomatic trips 'n bumps; We never cozied to Dicky; But welcomed ex-pat refugees For safe and sound reasons. After the jimmy-rigging, how many re-pated? And we gagged on the impeachables, all fuzzy and bitter. He called the father *that ******* in Ottawa;* And Pierre wore that moniker like The Order of Canada. When you're not liked by one, you're a dove. You should visit CANDU.wow It has it all. How is Supreme Leader managing? Are his... Are my people... sitting at attention. We could real news a bomb a la Kim Jong, Or flip a stone down at Port Huron. We won't. But we could if we weren't The Great White North, so accommodating, so polite, So Coo loo coo coo coo coo coo cooo! nice... (for now)

"The phone's inferior Where's your superior? I'll rip him a new interior! You're all about exterior." "Look at me when I speak. or are you too weak? Talking while you tweet Look at me when you speak" what's with this culture? digital gone vulture your phone like a suture trying to mend the future "Sorry if I got all hot. Diplomatic I am not. Had to rant and shout get the dysfunction out." "Your phone hurt my ear The speaker on too near. On this much I am clear Your phone hurt my ear."

Rapping a Rant
She saw people praying and using the violence in the name of religion at the same time, while no religion is preaching violence. She understood that this kind of violence was too conflictual for peace, and yet too diplomatic for war. And that violence no solution had; nor never none. She thought those people lived in black light having blind eyes not seeing the reality of life. She had to accept that this wicked goodness and this pretty badness belong to our reality so vixen-like, vexing and hiding so many victimless crimes. Suddenly, she realized that she could be a new victim. She started to run while wondering where her safe place was. She was better than to expect to be caught. She understood her fear, that fear leading to frightening thoughts, those thoughts leading to panic, that panic leading to derealization. She looked around trying to recognize the place. She felt worry because she couldn't see very well. She searched to make a sword of everything around, but quickly after that, she thought that the swords are the weapons of warriors, but she's not a warrior, she's a victim. She started to give praise with idle tears, to give praise with wisdom, to give praise with deep despair. She asked herself if God is there to hear her, over those ravages of war overwhelmed by the natural catastrophes and over the ludicrous effect of their transformation into nothing. She, firstly, believed her religious man was a fighter against enemies of God to conclude that he was an enemy of the real fighters for God. This man was her husband learning in time to beat her body and to hurt her soul. She saw herself as a little bleeding part of this world wondering to know if her man is still the man she fell in love with once, or he's an illusion. She stopped her run to sit on the ground. She began to pray hoping that God is there to hear her and to bring a new light to her crying reality. She stayed there to think how much a rose can describe a flower, how much a flower can describe a woman, and how much the feminine can describe many things around .She concluded that no feminine thing can break this life down. She asked herself, ''What can happen to this world in the absolute absence of feminine?'' She found herself an innocent person dreaming at a new world without violence.

For the first time ever; I truly do not care if you, him, or her wished me a happy birthday; But, I wouldn’t mind if you did. Though it is fair; I am one of the lesser friends; I am a boring play; A play so fake; I am of made up characters, Sometimes I am the flattering villain in smiles, And at times I am a copy of the Westerners, At others, I am gullible, yet I never am; I pretend to be; but I am miles away, For interesting I am not; so funny at least be, Says my brain; for maybe they will remember, That my birthday was today; It is an endless plea: I always remember and prepare pages of wishes, For almost everyone, but all I get is 4 days late One liners sent out of guilt; to stop the guilty itches, Not out of care, love, or from genuine friendly state; I deserve it; for again; I am merely a boring play; A paradoxical headache of weird introverts, And annoying extroverts; I barely even weigh, To a normal person; I am made of endless alerts; Alerted, focused, attentive; all on your acceptance; I am what I feel you want me to be; a nice man, A racist gangster, a diplomatic figure; I am resemblance, I resemble everything I see in you and scan; I am stardust that was never meant to shine, I am a thread; intertwined as I feel pleases, I am a road with temporary signs; I am grapes; For you I squeeze myself into juice; or ferment Into wine; I am a fake play where you write scripts, I submit, because all I cared about is receiving, A birthday wish. On that one day in the entire year; I do not want even want gifts; because when you don't, I feel like I am ceasing to exist; slowly deceasing from everything that we were: teenagers ambitious, WhatsApp stickers collectors, School runaways, Kids deceiving; it feels like I am dead; for the dead Do not receive birthday wishes; I feel peerless; A white beans *** lidless, a body complete limbless, A walking sickness, a moving flesh in stillness, unpardoned by my faux and obvious silliness. I do not care about not getting birthday wishes; But I cannot not overthink what it means.

Dark polished stones line the divine walk of power Demanding fresh blood from diplomatic feet Where haughty arrogance meets unpretentious humility Introduced by an arbitrating street The loftiest of fences steadily lines the walk of power Dishonorably straddled by a shameful few Who never make any honest attempt to choose a side Or contemplate existing truths Comfort reigns securely in their warlike peace Balancing upon those fences Until humility overpowers and demands a stand Leaving arrogance with no defenses Balance fails eventually atop the fences of the walk A diplomat’s feet must make a stand Straddling the fence will never polish power’s stones Come down and walk and take command

Walk of Power

I'm a captured tooth nerve amalgam appeased restrained in containment by my keeper then I can be a prisoner escaping the jail my warder has lost the keys of control on dark days my fathoms swirl in murky mass infused with blinding kelp on good days my porthole shows clearness of eye the glass reflects well just to confuse my ores composition is misunderstood the translation metamorphic changing minute by minute hour by hour these ones are buggers my microscope isn't good with definition will I or wont I who knows my borders are contested being diplomatic I make pacts and treaties no monicker is required the tried and tested gentleman's agreement that will do   my margins can be thick or thin comments fit in usually they range between insult and praise depending on the mood I oft go to open cut mines to find common minerals which are useful on a daily basis real effort is called for when I delve into deep shafts sometimes gems are quarried precious ones to behold well enough said a letter is to be written dear meditative home we're returning soon if we're delayed after hours p.s. leave the porch light on

Metaphors For Thoughts
My home is found not in the affairs of international companies, or the goings-on of diplomatic countries, But, in the confines of my soul, and the reaches of my actions. I do not seek solace in material possessions, or satisfaction from my wealth But, in the depths of my imagination, and the thoughts I allow myself to conceive. We can not tolerate injustice, or those who terrorize our populace, Or, we too shall become unjust, and fall prey to their greed. Until we learn to stand together, and learn to respect one another, The beautiful ideas we create will only fail, and our children will only know hate. You must learn to love your brother, and value your sister Or we will continue to reap the disasters we’ve sown, and we will never know a world less tragic than this. The world won’t change until you have found the internal motivation to change yourself. How much is enough? How far is too far? What will it take to spark the revolution?

How far is too far?
The following statements of truth were brought to you Not through, but circumnavigating fated parameters Of insane, yet normative, largely uninformative Mechanisms that formally give birth to ******** And instead, strategically splicing said bounds with Ideal variables derived from the courageously quixotic, Unrobotic, and outraged agents of, and for, capital Real: The train of corporate reasoning derails so fast To follow is to snap the head backward, Far past angles within measures of pleasurable fit And open gates to deluging tangled circular Failures of logic that trick and co-opt the proletariat. We are Present-Ambassadors with broken flux-capacitors Demonstrating a consistent tendency toward error In efforts to obtain diplomatic access to a future where The same reemerging deficits do not manifest unfixed. One of said deficits may include all positive freedoms. For the record, it shall be noted that civil society Currently arrives implicitly to find it compliantly fine To promote systems of labor designed to illicit behaviors That will eventually undermine the actors of exhaustive work And make benefactors of those complicit in crime. As case studies of this paradoxical paradigm, we observe Nations signing trade agreements aligned with Selling more of the goods whose extractions have Cataclysmic exactions upon locals contracted not to resist. Those who take issue with this are directed to appellate institutions. The projected scarcity of over-consumed poisons causes fear Which leads to faster hoarding and more ex(t/p)ensive death. Thus, most human behaviors presently inflate pricing, popularity, And rapidity associated with committing system-wide suicide. As shackle-some power consolidation bends toward a transnational peak I hereby slide-tackle these forwarded trends, seeking goals of the rational.

We are Present-Ambassadors with broken flux-capacitors Demonstrating a consistent tendency toward error In efforts to obtain diplomatic access to a future where The same reemerging deficits do not manifest unfixed. One of said deficits may include all positive freedoms. For the record, it shall be noted that civil society Currently arrives implicitly to find it compliantly fine To promote systems of labor designed to illicit behaviors That will eventually undermine the actors of exhaustive work And make benefactors of those complicit in crime. As case studies of this paradoxical paradigm, we observe Nations signing trade agreements aligned with Selling more of the goods whose extractions have Cataclysmic exactions upon locals contracted not to resist. Those who take issue with this are directed to appellate institutions. The projected scarcity of over-consumed poisons causes fear Which leads to faster hoarding and more ex(t/p)ensive death. Thus, most human behaviors presently inflate pricing, popularity, And rapidity associated with committing system-wide suicide. As shackle-some power consolidation bends toward a transnational peak I hereby slide-tackle these forwarded trends, seeking goals of the rational.

The mind has gone AWOL Armageddon in the blood crimson gargantuan sky Black stars from the depth of vacant eyes Oil rains down in sightless desert heat The last cigarette inhaled before the bomb detonates Fortunate sons in the era of friendly fire Rivals hunt metropolis streets to acquire a living Anonymous crypts get lost in the politics Seen convicted through bludgeoned eyes Honored my name with a plaque on a wall Documentation of civil declaration Conformity inspired figurehead of a homeland Bricks leading up to the footsteps of the Whitehouse

Emancipation Of Diplomatic Conspiracies
Whenever people criticise me They usually don’t know that I am my Biggest Critic, Beating myself up Like Tyson Fury. It’s how I spur myself on, Hopefully to better things. But what things? I still don’t know. Oh to have blind faith And sense of Vocation As many others do. A solid set of Values. A script to follow Opinions to declare. Instead I dither Undecided Lost in an ocean of ifs and buts. Too bright and open-minded For my own good. Worse still, I’m oh so eager to please. I think myself incorruptibly honest, Yet the truth is, I only tell people what I think They want to know. It’s how I was brought up. But then again Am I willing to fight For what I stand for? Should I really be Devil’s Advocate Just to “stick up” for my views? Better methinks to hold my counsel Or be diplomatic Which may be okay So long as I actually decide What I think and feel Within myself. And there’s the rub. What do I stand for? Do I really think for myself? Like so many others, Am I dragged along: Brainwashed by Media hoo ha And hype? Superficial sound bytes And rallying calls. I need to search my soul And find my true feelings And beliefs. I know that I Love Life In most of its forms. I’m all for Wellbeing And The Common Good. I need to focus On these things: On making the most of This Paradise World We seem bent on ruining. In short I must stoke those fires of Love And enlighten others To do the same.

Dithering
it's not a memorisable lullaby, i don't want to write poetry that requires memorisation by school children; perhaps a riddle, perhaps a jigsaw, perhaps an awakening after the words dig in from their arrangement into your own usage, distinguished. these days, someone on a social strata of being absolved might require a concerned dis-involvement from nouns, and thus juggle the pronouns, over-use pronouns to remain politically accurate and sound, for to replace nouns with pronouns would bleach people, entrapped in the constant affirmative of something they once owned but were dispossessed of, they do that, they stress the usage of pronouns by a relief a diet of noun usage, so that a Pakistani dare not use the associations of the noun that might decipher his skin as cinnamon in writing, unless it be pronoun inclusive and noun exclusive, so as modern society teaches: become pronoun users with a few distinguishing nouns congregating, don't learn carboxylic, don't learn onomatopoeia... keep up with the bleak egoism that states: not so much self-interest, but over-pronoun-use and a lack of nouns, or if used, reduced to quizzes of crosswords with antonyms and synonyms pronounced; he who confesses to censoring noun usage will control the pronoun category by usurping noun usage freely with a censored usage that will only provoke counter-nouns / slang / encoding / the need for surveillance.

diplomatic anonymity
Sparks fly from the flint crushing as you raise your brow marveling away over which rock you’d rather be I smile, ponder, then laugh at you, in opted denial it’s what you've always been, what I control being a diplomatic ball of ice on flames, with an aura a disarray is it us portraying them in grayscale, chin hanging in the air knowing what we know and pretending to not, yet care queerly scared of change but so sure of getting tired merging and shattering, perpetually deemed on trial and then there exists, at the dawn of my memories your shadow across the bed, lighting up a cigarette its smoke, my first reminder of your existence trying to clasp on to the awry black creases on the wall as they wrap me into the oblivion of your arms now it seldom melts at the genial contact of your voice reckon it might not become hard on being choused the beautiful black creases have dissolved through my fingers it has been conned to stay stoically un-aroused.

Flaccid
Am I the only one who finds it deeply ironic in an almost sickening way that, here in the United States, Armistice Day became Veterans Day? Not saying that homage is bad to pay, but I simply wish to say Armistice; that is to say the diplomatic end of War, should preclude future Veterans. Maybe I'm too idealistic. Maybe I'm not idealistic enough. In either case; the Military is a Tool. I mean no disrespect; I simply mean to reflect upon what it is  I see and feel. Still, I wish humbly to convey happy pseudo-Armistice day!

Happy Armastice Day
A poet is a diplomatic kind of person She lies metaphorically Revealing the truths figuratively... Being cynical in between the lines... Sometimes swear in similes Provocative in a classy way vocabularies are sewn with elegance A diplomatic poet's way!

A diplomatic poet.
I see what you're doing; I know what you are. Seen you travel some distance through this lyrical bar. I know your particular flavor, as you 'give' yet leave nothing to savor. Did you say it all...did you feed your callous need? As your 'so called' critiques and comments just left another to bleed? How 'brave' you are behind your avatar, but you see, You've done little, if anything, to honestly impress me. You use your lack of diplomatic restraint to simply crush spirits and leave behind a dark, bitter taint. Did you say all you needed, does is make you feel better? To ruffle thin feathers; crippling feelings altogether? I know what you're doing; I could BE you, if I very well wanted to! The bile and power of your word, leaves poor souls understanding that their thoughts and opinions, to you, are absurd. Time after time I read your insolent speeches on many a blog, as you spew forth your 'wisdom', dispensing a high voltage flog. I know what you're doing; I could BE you, if I very well wanted to! Unlike YOU, 'friend', I prefer to pay visits and leave a word of kindness; never leaving them with lyrical blindness. Sometimes I may read, and have nothing to say...if their words overwhelm, hit a nerve, or inspire my mind to stray...to a place of recognition...far, far away. I just felt this deep need to express, how you're grating on my nerves; with your sour, evil comments just disguised as 'clever words'. Go on now, my 'friend', try to pen words that INSPIRE... I promise I'll be kind, even as I unleash my fire... unto the likes of you... such a mean spirited shrew! So next time, give great thought to your comment before you click away, 'cause I know many a great poet here, that by YOUR cold, pathetic words... will NOT be chased away! -by Mercurychyld Copyrights

My lover’s eyes no longer navy pool bleached paler by years of beating sun His nose over ****** dominion rules and skin with liver spots is overrun A dandelion man, confused and tall, a long thin stem and a puff of white hair Unsteady gait, joints need an overhaul the crack and creak of cartilage wear His views are fixed and often dogmatic expressed in cold voice with power and force He never cares to be diplomatic preferring a more a belligerent course Yet, he is my love and ever shall be as long as the tides rush in from the sea.
