there is a darkness that the silver song of soft illusion lights in symbolic equivalents of images real it is a light brutally interrogative magnifying with dazzling rays the breakage at the jagged edges of the world and lays hostage to impersonation that resembles fragments of smashed oval shaped mirrors reflecting pieces of broken brown terracotta soldiers and causes the eyes to hurt with a watched inner holocaust of disturbing coloured detonations, implosively autonomous given to a deceived departure a departure from reality given by the advocacy of ideological rationalism that sees three kings with blood on their crowns in amplified convulsions call mustre for disturbance, disorder, destruction and death as blood stains the Balkan streets and all emotional impulse is volatilized and a sinister, stuporous, stagnancy stalks the land where sustaining minds are subject to a brutal insensitivity that dazzles on the edge of a spiral vertigo it is a light brutally interrogative magnifying with dazzling rays a vocabulary of incoherence like the rancid stains of ***** that inhabit the jagged edges of the world

Crimean War???
Funeral processions Spontaneous Money, Money, Money Bridges to Neverland should exist. Wedding party Music Fall leaves Breaks winter. Intuition floods the sauna of life gated in By the strong arms of the whispering trees. ******** profit, taking advantage of the sheltered Wallets of men plagued by the insensitivity and greed of the less mature. **** you, sir, for charging innocent minds and hungry souls To enjoy the entrancement of the world Far older than you

You see right through me, as though through a glass. Unnoticed, ignored, invisible. But I have flesh and blood, I feel love, joy, pain like you. Unnoticed, ignored, invisible. You forget my name, repeatedly mention someone else's Unnoticed, ignored, invisible, you tall a lot of smack but when it boils down you've hurt someone you can never have back Insensitivity can be forgiven but only if its recognized, apologized for. Unnoticed, ignored, invisible. My heart is as big as the western skies but even a pin hole can drain such as I I deserver better treatment than this I demand better treatment than this In the end, I will get better treatment that this. Unfortunately for you, respect goes both ways. and I do not give what i don't receive. I wont let you treat me as Invisible. JCM 2011 © 6/19/2011

Invisible
Sitting by the fire, you stretch, And breathe. The air is stiff, Perfumed with insensitivity. But to whom does this mysterious perfume belong? For I am quite certain that it is not mine. Your eyes stare, My cheeks flush. Our mouths show shameful smiles. Slowly we lay on the ground, Where the cooler air resides. There is no overbearing perfume here, Only the fire, the night, And time.

Infidelity
Alexander K Opicho (Eldoret, Kenya;[email protected]) There are more and more misfortunes in the world Known to you dear people in your diverse conditions, But my life and experience has taught me unique lessons Of kindred to befit me Elizabeth, a daughter of Zinjathropus Hailing in the savannah desert, Turkana County of Kenya, I have graduated in to a single lady without test of marriage, As desert men look at me in their irritating impotence, **** clothes wrapped around their slender waists passing on me Like a dog passing on American dollars; cursed be desert men, I thought my beauty of dark African complexions will give them a ****** tease But to my chagrin; desert men have a fear of beautiful ladies My conscience tells me that my beauty is an eye sore to them, I thought my bulging hips will entice them as is a promise of fertility Leave alone not to mention my concupiscent ****** warmth, uhmmm! Desert men have dared not to see and appreciate my **** bossom, They often pass on me driving their donkeys and emaciated carmels, I thought my ***** sharp pointed ******* assign of virginity Will call them to me into a treat of love, affiliative love, But sadly enough; these dudes are erotically blind, They they nonchalantly pass on my **** ***** Wielding a begging bowl in their ***** long hands Running like drunkard chimpanzees going to Oxfam stores to beg for food, Cursed be Oxfam an imperialist agent, it has crashed flat The testicles of our desert brothers into ****** insensitivity, Oxfam has made African desert men to beg like Hebrew lepers Other than standing up on their feet to feed their women, Normally as men would do from the sweat of their brow, I thought my education will attract them to me, To love me with those romantic University kisses, But desert men have crude cultures and slavish religion They rebuke girl child education as if it is a devil, Oh my dear God of the forsaken desert ladies Of the forsaken African daughters, Take me out of this ****** desert Take me out of the city desert of Lodwar, Take me to the equator line and give me a husband, My eggs are pretty ready to conceive and sire children Sons and daughters for your own glory O almighty God, Take me out of this ****** desert, Where no man treats a modern woman, Take me out of here and give me a fresh man of my dream. Because I have known from today; It is accurse to be a woman in Africa It is a curse to be a beautiful lady in African deserts It is a curse to be a woman graduate in the African desert It is a curse to have ***** ******* in the African desert, O! Help me God.

I’m nervous, simply waiting for you to snap me like a twig. I’ve bundled my feelings, my loves and hates, all those outspoken words and all those silenced words, into a little gift-wrapped, topped-with-a-bow gift for you. You will accept it. It is what comes after, when it reaches your nimble hands, that frightens me. You weave your skill so well, like knitted discord inside, I can feel when I reach in to see if I’m all still there. Under many dark moons, you leave your shadow to keep me company. It walks beside me, keeping my head whirring on into the small hours of the darkened dawn when I see it at the foot of my bed watching me sleep. You told it to crawl into all the tight spaces inside me, with me. It reminds me of you, endlessly, always, breathing your name as I surrender to closing my eyes, vulnerable lying before your peering shadow, it could stop me breathing in a heartbeat. Only you, sweet devil, can keep me falling so hard so fast, shedding myself trailing from your bed to mine. I linger in the smell of you wrapped around my clothes, taken off in a hurry as your words, sizzling spitfire, hand-made cuts and invisible haemorrhage shatter me to pieces easy enough for you to pick and keep in your bed until you are finally finished with me. All I feel is the burden of myself, when I really have no burden to hold. I’m a phone running out of battery when you need it most. Filled with a frenzied panic, a slap of frustration passes your face to use against me all that bottled irritation. If I don’t touch you back you will wield it against me, blame for insensitivity, a slowly seeping coldness I can fight off under your roaming form in a shady light of fear. Your emotional abuse is a character. It has a body, limbs and hollow face and it can bruise me with a single touch. I never leave my body open with you. And to what end do I let you paint me with your manipulations, your scheming tactics your irrevocable evidence I’m worth nothing more for you; like a girl’s doll known to be too pretty, putting sticky residue inside their goals at night. So use me with your infamous fingers. I dare you, do it. Again.

Saw someone drop their phone and laughed at them. I'd like to watch the world drop their stupid/smartphones and have to look at each others stupid goat like faces and gazes. Remind me what heaven looks like, all I remember is that I'm a scumbag with moral insensitivity and you are my nightmares off the page. Simultaneously a classic, also a contemporary gore piece. A landmine seized by epidemic. Walked away with an insincere "I'll see you later", and I responded with a sincere "Whatever." Maybe I'm destroying myself in character slowly but it takes so ******* long still. I cheered an old man who crossed the street alone. I'm getting too close to yelling at a manager, and losing a job I need to much. Too close to the edge, but when I think about it I always am, and when I think even harder I hate everything so much.

"You're My Classic Horror Novel."
A sleep so sound As to only wake The dreams of others Where armstice Is given to thought That wanders beyond The jeweled dawn In a defection of insensitivity A quality of oppression To look on beauty And wear its lightness In generosity, a generosity Of mutual attraction That bargains not for purse But wealth much more sought To sleep a million dreams To bask in a different version Of that which is the same To have that embrace Or metaphor entwined within Yes and awaken with a smile A smile, a smile, just a smile

Dreaming....(in the mode of Mr Shakespeare)
oh what sustains this mind a mind that teeters on the edge of a spiral vertigo that sways and rocks in an unease of palpitations attempting to escape from the brutal insensitivity of the granite faces that occupy the streets a mind of hallucinated perceptions with a constant stream of imagery that finds a difficulty in the self negotiation, the articulation of its inner geography where a frightened availability of disturbance in the vocabulary of its chemical graffiti leaves speech vacated on the tongue where eyes are pushed to see a discord of sympathies for different dimensions that has one disassociated, cut off from the immediate living in an inner dialogue of rebellious and unconventional preoccupations a self alienation that heightens the poetic colouring of the imagination causes a ************ of the mind that makes me cripplingly aware of the abyss at the heart of my inner disquiet makes my toes hover on the jagged edge of the world yet I jump choosing discovery over societal dictum to do rather than be

to do rather than be
We are laughing while passing a bottle back and forth between the two of us Our breath reeks of nicotine vapor and the remnants of marijuana mixed with whisky I down half a bottle of Maker’s Mark and you ask how it is I am able to do so with such ease I tell you it isn’t difficult and it isn’t I want to add that swallowing bitterness is much more pleasant on one's own terms but I do not say this part aloud Instead I act like my insensitivity to alcohol is a skill not relevant to a family history of addiction Built from uncles and fathers using liquid as a method to cauterize open flesh A mechanism of numbing that has been passed down for years as casually as a recipe We keep our secrets tacked onto hard labels and the inner caps of beer bottles We antique our inheritance with the reminder that it has always been this way This ability to drown myself under the weight of high content is nothing more than expectation I make wine to water the moment it reaches my tongue I convert drunken slurs to a language understood I know sour breath more than I do mild I didn’t learn drinking from beer pong and taking shots I didn’t learn how to from games at parties and competition I didn’t learn it as an activity or an outlet, I learned it as a habit turned routine I was introduced to liquor with the same hand that walked me to school everyday With the same lips that kissed me goodnight This comprehension for the intoxicated soul is as engrained as my predisposition to become one The only thing impressive about this relationship with alcohol will be how I choose to survive it, Not all of us have.

Verbiage Sagacious humans would concur Salacious verbiage is trenchant Verdant language withers a guileless soul Hubristic linguists deem limpid oratory irksome A Didactic, petulant, boorish, garrulous, nefarious, obtuse, and insolent Overtone is not my intent Puckish, risible, mannered, jocular, antic, and adroit Reverberations I am manifesting TRANSLATION Words Smart people would agree Healthy words are sharp Unripe words die naive spirits Self-confident word users find simple language annoying Moral instruction, rude, insensitivity, wordy, wicked, blunt, and contemptuous Feelings are not my purpose Impish (silly), laughable, artificial, playful, clownish, and clever Reactions I'm hoping to create

Am I really self-centered? Well, certainly am I not selfish Always, do I help people in need And you definitely cannot accuse me of greed For my family, cousins and friends My love and care has no end! Am I really self-centred? Not boasting, but am I kind And loyal to a fault Certainly, am I a compassionate adult And do my best to empathise with people As far as possible Including even those who don't deserve it Because, I know what it is like To be ignored or laughed at Hence, are there certain jokes For which I do my best To keep a poker face Since, I do not appreciate insensitivity After all, known am I, for my sensitivity!! Am I really self-centred? Yes, there are certain times When I do tend to be self-obsessed However, not too often do they come In fact, often has my heart bled Even when it was not required!! Am I really self-centred? Well, many a mistake have I made However, always do I apologise And give people space I don't repeat my mistakes either Because, truly do I care For the wellbeing of others!! Am I really self-centred? Many a time, have I cried Even for relatively small things Doesn't that tell you something? The fact that I care a lot About other people's opinions Should ideally show, that I am self-centred, NOT In my life, have I learned a lot of lessons And, over a period of time, changed for the better Hope this at least provides the answer To the question I have been repeatedly asking Genuinely sorry am I, for all the time wasting However, I am sure you would have understood by now As to why and how This issue means so much to me!!

The only legacy of maturity is insensitivity I will die old will think nothing of it. The young tend sodium springs All the while watched by the barren. Muted observers to life labours conceiving gasp Unwilling to interpret. Bald cries to heaven go souls dug with grapples stuck. Silence takes precedence in the right seat Unlawful is the wrong Red is the left Old knows all is dark. We run water to rid false colour Run it until we are dry Run it until we are black.

Thank You, Larkin
Three wise monkeys from far away in the mystical ancient east Their simple message misunderstood so that the west can gorge and feast. ~~ Mizaru "See no evil" ~~ Meaning precisely just that to not repeatedly look upon ill deed Not to "turn the blind eye" of indifference As the many starve whilst others feed Simply, the more evil that you see the less empathetic you become. Constant destruction in the news normalises genocide till we are numb ~~ Kikazaru "Hear no evil" ~~ Just like Mizaru, Kikazaru tries to absorb less evil news. Refusing to listen to the screams He retains his compassionate views. Understanding that overconsumption of evil, violence and negativity turns the purest warm heart cold and breeds dark insensitivity. ~~ Iwazaru "Speak no evil" ~~ Differing from the previous two monkeys speaking no evil is a consequence of not seeing and hearing wickedness delivering this providence For if vile behaviour is consumed through your sight and, or sound That evil inside must be expelled It can't be just buried or drowned ~~ Note how the news desensitises you and how violence is sold to your kids Remember The Three Wise Monkeys and consider what each one forbids.

Three Misunderstood Monkeys
Dear Daughter, Again you let me down You didn't meet my expectation Saw my face in Hall of shame, Held my head real down Big disappointment... Where shall I hide my face? My Friends topic of the week, My daughter... your daughter... her daughter Juicy gossips... Straight A's, no straight A's You put me in A total mess I really felt out of place... Defense mechanism, pointing my fingers straight It was easy to put the blame on you My ego was big of course, I denied the fact that... I set a standard too high... The benchmark was me Forced you to compete with perfection Forgotten the fact that you are you Never could be me... or anybody else My achievement, my capabilities were different and yours were yours alone... incomparable to me, incomparable to others Unintentionally, I molded a double Designed my clone Created another hall of fame But I was wrong to play god's role When he created you, You were your unique self a different special individual... Dear Daughter, From now on... I let you be you Please forgive me for my ignorance, insensitivity... but trust me I'd be proud that I am part of you... and I'd pray to god you'd be successful your own way..... With Love, Mummy...

Dear Daughter
Something snapped within her that day. She felt a bullet go through her head, Killing her spirit instantly. Shock gripped her and she stood frozen Until salty tears flowed freely. She wondered, if her tormentors, Those miserable egoists, Understood the extent to which, Their insensitivity had Robbed her of her natural armour, Standing outside in pouring rain, Without raincoat or umbrella, She was drenched almost to the bone. Then looking to the heavens, she said "Lord, I pray that this too shall pass"

Tormented
The pressure behind my eyes swells Like the tide under a full moon. Waves crack against my rocky shores And shatter over me. Shards wash away But most stay lodged in my bleeding heart. And I love you anyway. I love you despite your inconsistency and insensitivity. I love you even though I can't stand too close Without feeling worthless. I love you even though You're radioactive. I love you despite the fact that you never Held me the way I needed you to. You were never there The way I was there for you. When I needed you the most, You looked into my crying eyes And walked away. But I love you anyway. I needed you a lot And maybe I was too clingy. But maybe i wouldn't have held Onto you so tightly If I could be sure you would be there When I reached for you. You always knew That I would drop anything And everything to be there for you. But you never gave me that security. Still, I love you I love you even though I can't be sure of Who you are anymore. You used to show me how you felt You used to let me know. But you've become so robotic I'm not sure you feel a thing anymore. And I love you. You used to smile You used to laugh Now your eyes are empty Except for racing calculations. Always thinking Never feeling. You're barely human anymore, Just a machine That won't stop spewing And fixing things that aren't broken. Yet, I love you. And you wonder why Your friends are gone You wonder why you feel so alone. You won't reach anyone Where they need to be felt. And I love more than anything. I love you like I might die tomorrow. I love you even though you don't love me anymore. I love you even though you broke promises you never made. I love you even though you don't deserve my love anymore.

Genuine
The pressure behind my eyes swells Like the tide under a full moon. Waves crack against my rocky shores And shatter over me. Shards wash away But most stay lodged in my bleeding heart. And I love you anyway. I love you despite your inconsistency and insensitivity. I love you even though I can't stand too close Without feeling worthless. I love you even though You're radioactive. I love you despite the fact that you never Held me the way I needed you to. You were never there The way I was there for you. When I needed you the most, You looked into my crying eyes And walked away. But I love you anyway. I needed you a lot And maybe I was too clingy. But maybe i wouldn't have held Onto you so tightly If I could be sure you would be there When I reached for you. You always knew That I would drop anything And everything to be there for you. But you never gave me that security. Still, I love you I love you even though I can't be sure of Who you are anymore. You used to show me how you felt You used to let me know. But you've become so robotic I'm not sure you feel a thing anymore. And I love you. You used to smile You used to laugh Now your eyes are empty Except for racing calculations. Always thinking Never feeling. You're barely human anymore, Just a machine That won't stop spewing And fixing things that aren't broken. Yet, I love you. And you wonder why Your friends are gone You wonder why you feel so alone. You won't reach anyone Where they need to be felt. And I love more than anything. I love you like I might die tomorrow. I love you even though you don't love me anymore. I love you even though you broke promises you never made. I love you even though you don't deserve my love anymore.

BALANCE
my "insensitivity" isn't stemmed from negativity, but more so a desire to think about it logically. a life without stress is when i do my best. and don't take that as     distance, but my choice to be  sep ara te.                                         independant.    me, myself, and i mind, body, and soul. woven together underneath the attachment of my surface layer. hidden from most, deemed "unreadable." my "detachment" a word often describing my lack of attention- is not a reflection of my affection, or a distraction from my emotions, but a reflection taking place of a reaction. my "cold heart" is not the polar to a warm heart. it is simply the polar to a fiery heart, but it burns just as fiercely.

"my cold aquarian heart"
The plot thickens; he played the game so timid, so close to victory, tasting a hint of defeat. The game of his life, trashed and trodden beneath unexpected cowardice. Jack Daniels slowly evaporating within the cool glass; nerves growing numb to personal sentiments listening to insensitivity plea for attention. Clinging to that moment, promising something different; feeling the heat of amber ***** eating away the remains of expectations.

Defeat
there is heard an amplified distinction of sounds smells of accelerated inner vertigo a feeling of immanent death the distillation of blood stains on the sheets an impulse of volatilized emotion that generates a different vocabulary creates a fixation with a considered state of inner concerns, entertains other dimensions discovers with sinister undertones that one is a figment, yes a figment of someone else’s imagination that you are a a fascinated but unfortunate escape from a brutal insensitivity that sustains a mind that teeters at the jagged edges of the world for is it you… are is it who, an hallucinated perception of the I, the we, the them and the me
