"exploiters" poems
Smiling liars, Laughing tyrants, Suppliers Of the drug that keeps us spinning The web of deceit for our precious Exploiters of production, masters of destruction, They can always spare a little time, To turn their noses down at you. Understanding Uncle Samson, Receding hairlines never seemed so cruel. Steady diets, Miracle migrants, Poised and ready To deliver the solution to you. Glorified Ignorance, Celebrated Apathy, The mixture slowly brought to brew Industrialized dreams streamed directly, Born of seduction and designed for consumption Your ideas no longer belong to you. The Answer is hidden, at the end Of a sentence The link to extinction will surely Be mentioned As hope rests While peace detests Those souls Were they well intentioned? Chemically altered, biology falters, Murdering the sacred sphere Who to trust? The reason we must Purge the demigods with spears Beyond the philosophies Man believes the falsities The angry mob taught him To enslave himself with Fear

The Death of Marketing or, the Marketing of Death
ever heard of the tax collectors? yes, the ones from the Bible. the ones frowned upon just by hearing their names. the stories of St. Matthew, Zacchaeus. both tax collectors and both redeemed. they are just few of the collective. there were many tax collectors who had changed and followed the steps of Christ, but not all. since all of them are man, man is inclined to temptation and temptation is inclined to sin. the remaining exploiters were not saved but condemned to roam hell for eternity. but as they are wicked, they are also cunning. they bribed the devil with their stolen riches for their freedom, to which the devil agreed, but with certain conditions. they are free to roam the earth, but they must bring back every soul who is indebted in any kind, in any way, to the devil. now, the tax collectors walk the earth, with little coins in their pockets, invisible yet heard, intangible yet felt, looking for their payment to the devil. but in times they are clumsy, they trip and spill their coins. so, if you're lucky, you'll hear the tinkling sound of coins, yet nobody will be there, and no coins will be rolling on the ground, but beware because it's time to pay your debts.

tax collectors
My rusty chains yelp and squawk Shrill, yet somehow on the verge of becoming monotonous So far, weary from humdrum-ly swaying Presently induced alone by Nature’s bitter, raw sighs Bound to this Bastille of a rotting exterior Eventually decrepit, at first, from use Now merely deteriorating as of neglect Once-stimulating summers fade Into seemingly sempiternal November evenings Dejected and funereal Echoing the nostalgic meandering trumpets that once coiled The lengths of my now cadaverous frame— Their blue blossoms left timid and etiolated Reflecting the ghostly, lilac hues of an insomniacs raccoon-like eyes And brittle, wispy veins begin to dilapidate I yearn For a sudden rekindling Reminiscing About memories only I can keep alive For the exploiters I was dependent on, Like the withered azure trumpets used upon a time, have bloomed Yet I still stoically anticipate their return I pine for their sun-kissed skin graced in airy cottons Their thrilled shrieks drowning those of my (less electric) fraying chains Recollections of their highs juxtaposed with my low My faith, my only zeal

Reveries of an Ageing Swing-Set
don't ever think you're the best until you've climbed a mountain don't even waste my time until you've drunk from my fountain my rhythm, my rhyme my legend, my crime innocent as the moon is bold magnificent as the sea is cold you cry, you beg you may even scream the words pour out of your mouth like steamy fog it lingers, it loiters for corrupted exploiters tears weep and they crash out poison and trash and you have the nerve to just push me away through the black and the white thick and thin shades of gray you might hear my words you teach what i preach but just remember my voice may be tender and yours will subside i'm your last contender

GLADIATORS
In the one hand, that of the exploiters, an invidiously assimilative desire for the trappings of royalty. In the other a lust for a universally applicable goodness, that we all might share in the profusely prolific profundity.

Vicarious Recalcitrance
Drones strike down on innocent Arabs Capitalist exploiters enslave poor Asians Never before has there been so much international unity Against a common enemy: Justice. Humanity desperate and starved Rights and legalities ignored by power-hungry Israelis funded by Americans who know not of what is really happening. Trillions in circulation, a global economy Rich getting unbelievably richer, without a doubt but the poor stay poor and in their misery they dare to demand more Politicians. Global warming, eminent catastrophe Foundation of capitalism cracking and crumbling Where, now, will humanity turn? Towards the new, and away from the old.

The Present
The dark cloud of that day still hovers over us like a stubborn ghost, A dark moment, sad and excruciatingly tormenting, Democracy was plunged under a huge and portentous threat, Just like the lives of each and every miner in solidarity, Every miner that felt they had been uproariously ***** and beyond measure, Lives being disparaged and sacrificed for money, Some fat ugly capitalist politician proclaimed them criminals, To impress his blood ******* immigrant masters, The brutish British multinational super exploiters, The stinking atrocious colonizers who stole our land and our humanity, And as criminals they should be treated, Declared the egocentric mercenary politician, Indeed, as criminals they were treated, And as criminals of apartheid, they fell, Heavy machine guns roared, And the whole environment smelt heavy of burnt gunpowder and blood, The whole place depicted a war zone, With bodies lying everywhere, And the police force claiming victory, The dead, really dead, And the living, really leaving, This is the Marikana story, A story that has neither beginning nor ending, A story that is told with very sad and shocking connotations, A story that is neither a cause nor an effect, A story of a high disregard for human life, A story of split unions, A story of greedy and hyper-selfish politicians, A story of police brutality, But above all, a story of innocent lives lost like garbage, And fingers not pointing at no one, The Marikana story.

The Marikana story
Kind of the same passion as the last priest hung by the guts of the last capitalist only a touch less ruthless & surely with a bare-breasted damsel waving a black flag so high, kind of a storming of the Tower by the raging mob of whom a few have fallen 'neath the clubs & guns of security but like warrior ants crossing a flowing stream merely give themselves for the all to gain entrance, kind of a pillaging of said tower with luxury furnishings all sashaying upon gaudy, liquid thighs, gold this & gold that all crowbarred & levered just right on out of there to turn up all in bits & pieces at the 42nd St. Pawn Store, kind of loading of the treadmill with those false narrative propagandists for an old-fashioned milling of the poor folks flour, grinding of the pulp, & a pounding of the fiber for a deserved clothing of the cold & fragile, kind of a revolution of justice, elemental & deeply satisfying, of an ideal revenge, a reckoning, a pitiless, near merciless settling of accounts with the poisoners, the exploiters, the fork-tongued liars, the cheats, the merchants of a slow, silent death, kind of a joyous, rapturous end-of-the-war drinking & embracing moment of pure contentment & sense that actually all is well in the world & that good does eventually overcome & that the meek shall inherit one day & that come what may in the end there will be an ecstatic blossoming roar of sweet & ultimate victory.
