"feudal" poems
70 years of supposed independence Yet no real freedom for women In a society dominated by men Drowned, is a woman's voice We need Azadi from Patriarchy Money and power aren't everything Without love, life is nothing Above all, are relationships and life quality Is there no end to **** Why is marital **** legal? Our system is so feudal Marriage is such a shame Marred by domestic violence Divorce, a traumatic experience No freedom to choose her career Family is supposed to be better No freedom for inter-religious marriage If she does, it's labelled Love Jihad Frankly, we are tired Demand an end to this carnage She can dress as she pleases She can roam at night She can marry anyone she loves To question her, you have no right

We need Azadi from Patriarchy
The legere sacristy of pure love blazing Feline confluence across ethereal plains Arched angelic collusion of things sepulchral The arcane occidere travisty of Transmogrification canonized Darkling eminence ordained; The verity aura of radiance Twilights tidal blood- dye magenta, Germane sleek meagre wealth chiming lo!. Finitudes golden prayer draping flounded Brutality tithing the zenith with mealy Doer aptitude majestically turbulent Sacrificing thoriums weld feudal Of heavens deceitful soothsayers, Fellow djinn of Gotterdammerung Soli of vilest stoic jingoism. ELEETE J MUIR.

I am ashamed—I hide
So tired Back to work and then there's this social event and that social event and the last one is the best one and I'm still trying to get over not having last years job that was taken from me and given to you and still trying not to even think about this because this is a whole new year and Driving past Napa Valley's Wineries Hotels, Buses, wine Everything wine and I don't know where I'm going My GPS broke, and the directions are drive straight and you'll see it Suburbia has turned into true wealth I've gone back in time, wine Haciendas on hill tops like feudal mansions, waiting for the peasants to do the actual work of wine, the dirt and the sweat of wine as the owners twiddle their thumbs and worry about the stock market and their wine I arrive at my Castle. For a few moments I will be allowed to taste the lifestyle of the wine and pretend that I too belong in this castle watching grapes ripen and waiting for the teaming hordes to do my work and the mechanical wine processors sit idly waiting for the grapes and I feel a tinge of sadness and fear for the grapes to be processed like in a slaughter house until I realize they are only fruit, and not mammals And on the hot deck overlooking the beautiful, silent valley with grapes ripening before our eyes the only chair left is next to you I sit down and look to my right and I see the woman who I feared would take my job and now did and I wonder how it is that this has happened that I've driven for miles in the hot sun through miles of grapevines only to be made to sit next to you who jealously drooled over my job and could never say anything good about my work and then you won. And we talk and I'm very clever and you don't like that because I'm supposed to be stupid and it's supposed to be obvious why you got the job not me and not some seniority thing and you say nothing nice, and it's only me keeping up a charade of conversation that could turn ugly at the drop of a pin but doesn't due to my skill and you then leave made uncomfortable by the evidence of my continued existence and lack of dumbness And it's only later that I realize in my imagination I wanted to hurl you from the deck and into the wine press

Illegal aliens, Holy and blameless Invade from planet dysfunction Land at our border From their galaxy of failed Latin states: Narco-thugocracies Feudal kleptocracies Where the girls get knocked up at 15 And illiterate drunks get macheted on saturday night Then go to Mass in the morning as litter blows through graveyards. They will enrich us with their diversity.

Gowlin’ Storne
In the beginning there is a class of creatures we call Gods that much later we realize are just mono- instances of god. From the tower I babble tongues, coded messages and ciphers that you implement in your daily rituals and obsessive behaviors. In R, it's something like, christ <- god(moral compass) In Ruby it could be buddha = God.new And perhaps a nihilist or we would find happiness in 10000.times do pushRock = buhdda.take(me) end It's all pidgin for me, unstructured glimpses at a world that's moving and changing faster than my non-existent grandson can comprehend. It's all a network of +1 and like'd firing mix media, reinforcing a nascent thought stream,   back-propagating our legends and fairy tales, Grimm reminders of epic Odyssey | 5 Armies in film | Warring States | loping dog with a severed hand in Akira black & white mouth repossessing Spaghetti Westerns back into our feudal ***** Fire, firing into the Monsoon rain. Always in the Hemingway rain of symbols and Matrix green code. And in my cupped hand, I catch glimmering fireflies, instances of Gaiman's American gods, Tricksters, Coyotes, and my faithful Dog smiling at me.

Coded meta-messages
Dazzled by the glamour of robber barons,    a **** fetishist       shills for feudal revival          ambidextrously flogging       bleach-white equestrian bones    eventually dying a looter's death.

The Essential Ayn Rand
Tea sprouts wildly by the roadside: jade splayed fingers flaming the earth in warped green flicks. Mild, astringent, the aroma drifts into the triviality of the present. Looking over my backyard fence toward the road, quick, damp-green scent antiquates my vision: Eisai, holding seeds from Kyoto, hikes across border hills into a feudal Japan. The tea-lined road, framed by my imagination, is an anachronism, a snapshot that’s double-exposed.

Eisai and the seeds of Kyoto
*Today the sky's come down to touch me Rainy hands it lays all o'er me Let me then pray to the angels above the earth Wash me pure for calmness to be While clouds slyly sneak my plea above Echoes thunder as the sky claps in approval Let me then pray to the angels above the earth Free my mind from the doubts's feudal Blessed are the angels that came down to see Why the sky cried on seeing the misery Of dying hopes in the drought cast hearts As they answer my plea of sweet victory Yes! Today the sky's come down to touch me !!*

This is no love poem No love, no art work, no poem No music nor rhythm But of images Of farmers exultant Though they break their backs, Or their bones creak, With every slash of their sickles, The heavy strokes Wounding light in the fiery heat of noon, The gaunt-faced sons of earth, Bringing home harvests of gold To the people's granary, Where no greedy landlords are in sight. For centuries, the land robbers Had squeezed their souls dry In constant toil. It may be that their time is up. But this is no love poem No love, no art work, no poem But of history Of workers milling around a lingering twilight. Pounding their hammers with their might, Ecstatic at the thought of freedom, Yet battling still, long dreaded ills Of feudal ******* barratry, Imperialism Storing up for the people’s cause, Building a new commune in the new place Freed from the landlord-minded President From the imperialist ogres Of IMF-World Bank and Uncle Sam, The warmongers, From oppression And poverty and wretchedness That, like a python, had wound Around them to the end. But this is no love poem No love, no art work, no poem No fictive tale but of radiant truth. As throngs of men And women march Out of their homes With new-found hope, Gathering strength As from a blasting storm, Defiant now of lying saints or heroes Or of murderer Presidents Who speak with forked tongues, As the throng march out into the streets Flooding the cities, Ready to offer their lives for freedom To them would come such happiness, Such love No poem would express, No art suffice to render. This is no love poem No piece of art, no song Only a sense Of how it is to tell of battles won, Of folding in to feel the surge of triumph Though brief perhaps, Within this flashpoint moment Of the people's war.

Days turn pages Sinking in the night Abysmal aromas Wrinkling skin so light. Crocheting another blanket Whimsical notes astir Falling on the carpet Bits and pieces of her. A feudal interruption White noise begins to blur Reflections being casted A comforting allure. Sons decaying in the sky Poinsettias set on tomb Empty syringe on the grass Dead fetus in the womb.

A Mother's Naiveté
Once across a Caledonia dreary, whose Echo, Amid the Jötnar, was MAN, I wandered hurt and weary, Until yon Glare, with deadly Rage flaming, Lo! I beheld, next to the Iron Gates Of a long-forgotten Ruin named still After incorruptible Titanium. A noble, finely engraved feudal Vest, Under a Luminary invisible, implacable, Shone thither with a Glare fiercer, methought, Than that of the rubies at warlike Valhalla, Amid Walls time-eaten, kingly Banners, and proud Towers, And dwelt there in melting Titanium. Deep memories of martial Woe Like an arrow piercing my ***** and aimed Thro' the Night with lethal Glare, No barrier was there to be found Between my Past yielding and this conquering Robe With Runes marked deep in Titanium. Thus I remembered having once graved, In revered silence and solitary anger, Into the Glare, within the Hills, upon the Dust, The Emblem of the OVERMAN, Which thou may again now see gleaming, With pride Superhuman, o'er this garb of Titanium. My Enemy Wraith haunting me no more, Into a most profane dying hour, I walked forth, to wear of the Armour of the Glare the worth, And felt, intensely, from the Zenith of a most fiery Heaven, The Rays from the Stars imbuing my Very Gore With blinding, rageful Titanium. Hereupon, with Cuirass thus worn, I bethought me of boldly ascending, With heavy Claymore drawn, in a Guard of the Hawk, At Ultima Thule, of the Bluish Glare, the Hidden Rock, And at its scorching Crest, with Blade o'er me flashing, widened my gathering Breast, The Largest Mirror, the Highest Beacon, aye, Before the wild Blaze molten down in Titanium.

I REFUSE TO LOSE… Most dudes are confused, Stuck between the two, Wondering if the one is really you, Or if their mind is playing tricks, So they just never mind, which is a terrible thing to do. It’s easy to walk away, and just say, “I’ll try another day” Or “I’ll try another way” The answer is right in their face. Fear of commitment is what it usually boils down to, Afraid… Afraid they’ll give you all their trust, just to get played. But I’m not confused nor afraid, See, I’m confident in my confidence, I know that you’re the way. You’re the path that god has paved, And I won’t be led astray. I’m not like those other dudes, Confused minds have made them fools, Fear filled hearts have changed their moods, I’m smarter, so many mistakes, I know, I grew, It’s altered my personality and my point of view, On love, relationships and even you, You see I’m ready to do, what I know have to, Packed my thoughts, I’m ready to move, But there is a problem between us being two, And my love that problem is you. Still I REFUSE TO LOSE. Most girls know what to do, Confident on who to choose, No hesitation, no interludes, No deep thinking, it would just prelude To lose, who they wanted to give all their love to. It’s easy to say, “We’re meant to be”, “He’s meant for me”, And “Just wait, you all will see”, Or “I do!”, really fast, before the question has been asked. Fear of loneliness is the problem When you look inside, Afraid… Afraid they’ll be alone for the rest of their lives. But those girls are nothing like you. You're unsure what to do, Indecisive with your decisions. Your insecurity has you imprisoned, Steel bars made from your blurred vision, And you’ll never break the tension. You’re not like other women, Your mind is not confined, It’s just your heart being blind. You’ve made mistakes but have yet to grow, Past regrets will stunt your growth, You have to Learn, Live and Love to make the most, Throw away those futile, feudal thoughts, And let me show, You don’t have to worry About those problems and mental feuds, When you REFUSE TO LOSE.

I got soul and I am a soldier. I got soul, and I AM a soldier. The world, is full of soldiers, some no older; than ten, learning to use the pen. Others, grow colder, killing with their swords again. In the end, regardless of your reasons or weapons, it would be treason for me to treat these soldiers like peasants. The feudal lords send us to die on distant shores as though we were ****** bought and sent to supply their wars and satisfy their demands for more, blood lust. Human being does not mean mindless killing machine. The next time a war scene, plays out in the news, and you hear the same rhapsody about third world violence and blues; take a moment of silence, to question, if it was you, would you take a different direction or stand up to fight for you and your section? Soldiers come in all ages, shapes, and complexions. Some use words for weapons, trading carnage for college; that's why I don't drop bombs, I drop knowledge, and I don't quote psalms, I pay homage, to the earthly soldiers of humanity fighting the insanity of a planet where they die in wars fueled by greed, fear, and vanity. Men, women, and children around the globe rally to the banners of Love, Happiness, and Hope, trying to cope, with the ropes tightening around their throats. So they turn to the Pope, or the Shah, or the President, or the King, all draped in their righteous bling, blissfully ignoring, the mystery, as to why history's greatest soldiers were common folks who just kept pushing forward. Jesus, Muhammad, and anyone who survived a nuclear bombing. Gandhi, King, and the few whites that stood against African-American lynching. Galileo, Newton, and those that researched in secret to avoid persecution. Wellington, Eisenhower, and those that died fighting tyranny in the darkest hours. The true power, of the soldiers of Man, comes when we take a stand fighting for something we demand. Our grand, struggles and revolutions are led by those fighting for solutions, by those that may become political executions. So to those that question me, I state emphatically, yes indeed, no matter race, gender, or creed, I stand with all the other souls that are soldiers of humanity, fighting to save our sanity.

The rotten fruit shall be shaken --- W. H. Auden Do they somehow envision sainthood in the homeless or extol the virtue of the millions toiling for minimum wage; see themselves as the feudal overlords of trickle-down, their enormous profits banquet omelets for the common good? You know the politics whereof I speak, the Me, Myself and I of anachronistic yesterdays, the concave years of soup-kitchens supporting high-rise condos and batshit crazy presidential candidates admiring selfies.   I wonder if it's all because they can't reach ****** impotence and pharmaceuticals which fuel our economy? A nation moans from the exhaustion of despair with forgotten cityscapes of odorous blacks and blues.

As the Days Decay
If I start to write a poem, will I finish it this time Or will I give up midway through, because there aren't enough rhymes In this old dreadful, awful language born of brutal feudal swine Wearing wigs and pantaloons, and saying words like 'thee' and 'thine'? If I have a hazy thought, will I succeed in making clear, That murky bit of intuition felt, or will it disappear, The minute I put ink to paper and begin to toy around With all the scattered bits of insight that implicitly abound? If I find myself inspired all the sudden by a muse, Will she hastily retire before I can spread the news Of all her wondrous gifts to me, that I so luckily did capture In a transcendental state of exaltation, joy, and rapture? If I have a vivid vision, flowing freer than the stream Of a river, clear as crystal, and as dazzling as a dream Will my will be of such power that I'll succeed to convey It, or just fall flat in defeat and then retreat into dismay? If I see sumptuous fruits that hang atop the mighty tree That's down the road of human intellect and creativity Will my reach extend sufficiently to gather them and bring Them back into...into... oh, **** it! I can't think of anything.                                                 (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

Try Not To Fail...
Cannibalistic are the teeth jagged in curl and grin. They grip fastened between gums of grime and sin. They prey leeched to toys strung under webs so few. My fingers creeped between their eyes so suffice and blind. Like storms choked in stark sky and drying rain, my views christen and bloom. Eyes bleached gold, lavish the corners donning streets and side shop. I myself lark on apartment edges and strewn roof tops, balancing death and door bells along my crooked spine. Wide faces swirl in faded lights along morbid streets blazed in night. They the oh so happy and innocent leech the drinks and sway the narcotics. Hand on breath, tongue on tip. It’s so heart full to stare from the roofs so grimaced. All words muddled in dread, lick their rosy lips, as stare catches the late night shift. All the blossomed couples curl and constrict in arms so selfish I must keep edges sharp and dull in bliss. Balance sways in dim, darkest are the days flattering night and cursing day. I wait amongst the walls above wavering innocence to demand. I shift on roofs so frail and wary that life seeks no bounds as the heights do not scare me. I will slip feudal in their creviced minds, but merely of pity to all their credible crimes. Here the world cries and here the cannibal lies. I break to be broken, but never to die, only to fall within the world’s eye.

Tropic and toxic glasses full of Soviet enterprise very expensive blood diamonds and muddy bricks thrown into the street raining jujubees and tongue twisters oh mister, let me tell you a story that time it was true, I do not kid and the knights of the feudal manor had no manners at all heads of tin bellies of yummy, gummy gruel their disgust spread like the plague all a mind sickness slithery what-you-have-its all up in their phases of the moons, too many to properly attest to not very good questions, unfair studying never helps the potential obscurity in life's energy pouring through airducts blocking chances of survival

The love that rose on stronger wings, Unpalsied when he met with Death, Is comrade of the lesser faith That sees the course of human things. No doubt vast eddies in the flood Of onward time shall yet be made, And throned races may degrade; Yet O ye mysteries of good, Wild Hours that fly with Hope and Fear, If all your office had to do With old results that look like new; If this were all your mission here, To draw, to sheathe a useless sword, To fool the crowd with glorious lies, To cleave a creed in sects and cries, To change the bearing of a word, To shift an arbitrary power, To cramp the student at his desk, To make old bareness picturesque And tuft with grass a feudal tower; Why then my scorn might well descend On you and yours. I see in part That all, as in some piece of art, Is toil cooperant to an end.

In Memoriam A. H. H. OBIIT MDCCCXXXIII: Part 128
Like God amassing gifts of gold and frankincense and myrrh, vain potentates, possessed by pride that riches will confer, depleted pillaged villages in pagan days of old… With *********** privileges, their fortunes were foretold. In feudal times, chaste clerics, cloaked, wrapped rings around the mind with hymns of magic, mystic myths and figurines enshrined, while blessing bayonet-like blades that mutilate and maim… With *********** privileges, believers bore no blame. In search of caramel colonies, some sailors set their sails to conquer puppet provinces, for sovereignty prevails, purloining wicked treasure troves which others claimed their own… With *********** privileges, such sins sustained the throne. Well, nowadays the quest proceeds, this time for ebon oil, so peoples once again are caught within the serpent’s coil and, pierced by fangs of greed and lust, death yields benign escape… With *********** privileges, you’re free to rip and **** We wave the flags and beat the drums and often kneel to pray to glorify our victories, bold, that happen far away; but none salute the severed souls impaled upon a pike… With *********** privileges, the riffraff look alike. One day the moguls won’t agree on how to slice the pie; they’ll spit and spat and, tit-for-tat, atomic barbs will fly - but when the button’s finally pressed, they too will grace the heap… With *********** privileges, the hole that’s hewn is deep.

*********** Privileges
​shards of glass lay scattered,                 your hands bore gory deeds of the night, a sinister feeling lay inside,                       yet I chose to hold on. drunken revelry' now a massacre, of     the self and soul, both washed ashore   words now trembled, too afraid to spring, chose to perish,                               for what might befall. the quill was an ally, now a foe,               the ink too dry to leave an imprint upon. Amidst the surrender of self, everything else gave away, but                           thoughts to rebel, still found a way. refused to concede to a feudal lord. Maybe they'll liberate my broken soul, or maybe,                                                             one day, they too shall surrender to my feudal lord.

My Feudal Lord
The New year 2013, in trepidation slips faintly; head-long in India while it bleeds shockingly. . The patient Sea awaits its souls rained rudely. while somebody blocks their brooks brutally. Poor parents awaits nurses as patients patiently for nurses to nurse ere their pulse falls abruptly. For thirteen days we forgot the feudal FDI fully Our M.Ps’ empathy poured in media profusely. “Thirteen” an accursed number mourns lowly holding high the news of **** or hope crudely News of corruptions and the corrupted partly merge or submerge in clamour in vain freely. The reckless leads a life carefree fearlessly And they glide in politics scot-free wryly Pharaohs wield the power to save and to **** Challenging God’s sole unique authority, still. The twinkling starry eyes, of my darling, fill In me Calm Nature’s emerald hope and Will.
