a conscious translation of the ego into the id is only automated thinking; that’s the content of the id, pluralism of thinking, it’s all automation, the id is the ego although plural due to automation understood easier because the id is the unconscious ego thought about, hence the excess of psychological theorisation; the freudian stance simple says of the cartesian inquiry: it thinks. the limbo of lost identity! the queueing of card shuffles and the bigger fear other than death in man, the fear of crow and pigeon conformity to repeat inanimate exactness for the narcissus to embody himself; for consciously we say ‘i think,’ there’s identity in that, unconsciously we say ‘it thinks’ ending up a statement of technicality never realised. pluralism and automation is the order in a reckless dream of a charles manson given the neon and example to refer to or imitate. the gods don’t give oral ***, hence their pristine vocabulary that’s less vulture like less and less unlike man’s.*

i don’t have a lot to say, feeling wise? a lot,
hence i write more words than take photographs;
it’s the ultimate antidote to seeing tree, stone, pavement,
when i get to use r and e to write about yellowish sunsets.
because using letter on blanks nurtured me
to stress less of seeing contorting threes with
the face that gaped a silent shout teary eyed to craft chaos.
i was about to be shakespeare but
the my regina interrupted,
i was going to say things like:
animals and children like me,
i gave my pinky away to a toddler
on a bench before i put on sweet sixteen’s heart-shaped lenses
to allow the sun its 3pm in autumn,
i gave a toddler my pinky.
cats are content while dogs are just happy,
i gave my pinky away
like michelangelo painting the two indexes touching
in the ghetto crib of two ******* brawling hello for the revised modern.
toddler took it with an apple in the other hand.
i almost said that the best song of rage against the machine
wasn’t: born of a broken man.
i’m vietnam in the american vanity!
hollywood considered abduction and retirement
with my statement.
you’re a good man when animals and children like  you
but women dislike you,
but with christ the children loved him too much and he said so
touchy feely with the armageddon kids behind a priest’s collar
leashing *******;
the animals? the animals were too eager on the donkey to architecture golgotha.
i’m less irish and even less catholic it would seem,
but when i write and weep, articulate the satanic:
tell one lie and learn many truths -
i'm almost satisfied to join a pilgrimage like a moth
attracted to a lightbulb from the shadows of knees.

You have no integrity.
You down me in the most darkest times,
Criticizing who I am and what I do.

Your trust dims on my very wellbeing,
Searing the burns even more.
I do not trust you at all.

I hear you complain in a tyrants voice,
Stressed, Your daughters a ******.

How dare thee!!
You say thy hurtful words!
When I was trying to be mature for 17,
on this December's birth.

I try so hard to gain your trust,
just to lose it in battle of honesty,
And a fiery war.

You know I try my best,
to become someone greater than thee,
but the words must stop.
They hurt deeply.

I trust no one,
I just survive this world.
One step at a time,
Without you leashing my very mind.

I am a wolf caged in this god forsaken home,
I want to be free to roam.

Trust is very fatal to thee,
Its fragile, Honorable and free.
I trust no one,
I just survive.

As the Archaic Wolf,
Now caged behind your very eyes.
I am not perfect,
I will not reach my fold.

Until my very time comes,
When I am an adult.
AND I will be gone.
Before your very word.

Coercion of thighs
Under  the persuasion of a deserted road
And  the weakness of your knees.
You may cry out for the cleansing of your womb
From  the filth,
The  residue of evil
That  infects you from the inside.

"You are a murderer,
worse than a ******!
You stole life!"

Could you plead and longer to
Whatever lies above your matted hair
And shaken shoulders
To tear out this grudge
That  feeds off your fear?
It blooms with a life so
Tainted.
For an unwanted kiss
Is unwanted nonetheless,
No matter how gentle
Or sweet.

Could you gaze into the mirror,
The visage of charred innocence,
Swollen  abdomen,
Bursting  with life from inside,
A  life you fear to resemble
Your  salted stranger
Who took the light from your eyes
And fed it to his gluttonous evil.
Sever the ties,
The umbilical chain of memory
Leashing your pleasure
To the filth of dominant lust.
Begin from the mud on your knees
Where you fell to the asphalt
Where the Baby's Breath grew in the cracks.
Sink into cleansing waters
And release.

Forget, but do not forgive.
For you wish for the freedom of this birth
Like  an animal,
Caught  in a trap,
Wishes  to gnaw off it's own leg.

Now go.
And when the time has arrived,
Blossom  life within you
With  a heart so red and swollen
From  the purity, the tenderness
Of  a welcomed hand.
And it will be love's face that you cradle.

there is a lot on my mind
so much so that i end up
rubbing my cheeks every
second as if my thoughts
are seeping out my pores
I am caught in this place
where people do not talk
reduced to leashing me
place to place, sit here sit
there, expect me to obey
no questions asked, dog
but I have loads of questions
the questions are pouring out
soaking straight through my clothes
i'm swollen with questions, filled to the brim
If i had a hundred hands, a thousand hands, they'd all be raised
all in your face, all strained, ready, how is this for compliance, how is this for crazy?
am i crazy enough now?
am i?

The fire struck and burned away the feelings
the crowd gathering outside
holding their loved ones a little closer

The tears run down, not even touching the flames that engulf me
smoke entering my lungs suffocating me from the inside out
strength growing in my legs

I tried everything I could.
However i just caused the fire to grow
Breathing and leashing hurt on everyone it touches

Im done trying
Im done pushing through the flames to just burn
I stop my tears

I let the flames take me away
Destroying what was once in my heart
Flickering through my soul

You have to give in to get out.
You have to let the fear engulf you
So that you can indeed grow

They reach behind me in the storm
Oil rains from the sky
The wild are set loose to rain
Bringing wrath and leashing pain

The veins on my arms tighten
Waiting for the skies to lighten
The fear is gone lost on the brave
Waiting for the victory they crave

The light at the end of the tunnel
Fire twigs and matches bundle
Duck your head and harden your heart
Do my will and do your part

The earth is uncertain of which side its on
The skies are empty and the sun is gone
The clouds tremble and they hide
Waiting for the tide

Mount your steed and say your prayers
Deep into the earth many rocky layers
The core or heart of our home
The death of many to atone

The blood that was shed in this place
The world rid of every trace
Scrolls with words
Wings on birds

The things you trust and remember
The light to bring and darkness sever

The message from our creator
Is like a leashing sword
Crossing a cemetery, chanting his name

Going to college everyday
Is like an everyday job
Sitting for an exam, chanting his name

Applying for a job interview
Is like a yes or no
Waiting for an interview, chanting his name

Getting marriage proposal for the first time
Is like, oh God I hope he's handsome or rich
Proposal results, chanting his name

And the list goes on.....
Everything we do, its a phobia of being unsuccessful
Therefore, chanting Gods name
Most only to motivate themselves
Others to believe
That he hears and delivers...

While receiving the daily alms
From houses far and near
A blind beggar walked passed
Wiping off his sweat and tear

As he neared the temple steps
To praise and thank the gods
The people laughed at him
Leashing out hurtful words

Some sitting on the steps
Taunted him of being blind
"O' blindman you can not see god"
"How will he accept your praise of kind"


"If I can't see, he who sits on the shrine"
"It's totally fine to pay my respect"
"Atleast my god can see me if I can't"
"And like you, he will never reject!"


I watched the entire scene silently,
Of the people with the same beliefs
A blind can not offer praise
Coz his doings are based on griefs

How meek and judged, the people are
Believing in everything they see
Hearing people preach of god
Forget that god resides in you and me...

for I am a candle in the wind

flickering
stretched thin
leashed on
pulled back
by the forces of the wind

Yet
A flicker of hope
stretching through time,
leashing across seasons
pulls me
along the cruises
of
    the
         wind

There, I will extinguish in ashes
but rise up  
in flames rekindled

the truth in your words
makes me regret mine
I bite back my tongue
before it whips out
leashing me to my fate
but to late they strike
like blows already given
and so I must apologize
to ask and to beg
for you to forgive
what I cruelly bestowed
upon you ears
with my foolish follies
Marcus Henry May 2017
The depression sinks in, an unnatural daily blend
The type that warps from within, it puts the lotion on the skin.
The jealousy is kin, doubt being the yang to my yin
It's all a part of me, a breakdown waiting to begin.
Their love is all benign, I try but can't return in kind
Erratically unemotional, mentally fluctuating is my mind.
It's only a matter of time, before what little is left that binds
begins to steadily unwind, to become a frail tether leashing what lies within confined.

Were tied with a wire,
Our lives were free,
We parents had time for our children.
Now slowly we are making our children dependent on smart phones,
Willingly leashing them to silent oppressors termed as mobiles  touch screens ipads...
We have replaced our children's Teddy bear,
Meant for comfort and a sense of belonging with a mobile.
Children don't wait eagerly for us to come home,
But to get our mobile or our old one ,
And we easily give in,
Using  mobiles as a pseudo defence system against our children.
At a tender age,
To make our work easier.
We give them mobiles to distract them when they are whining about something,
To get rid of their tantrums.
To shut them up instead of good parenting,
When we are too busy to give them time or interact,
Truly we need technological detox ,
For you reap what you sow,
As we age
Our children will have no time for us,
Cause we never had time to bond with them
Or understand the beauty of a relationship.

Demons chasing,
Tearing the threads
Of my charred skin
Oh bare hands
Pinning nails mercilessly
A scar,
From temple to the chin
Burning strands
Of hope and faith
Inflicting agony
A prodigious torment jar
Hellfire,
Burning my skull
Mire,
Drowning my feet into muck
An unending fallacy,
An excruciating battle
Purgatory so strong
Almost was I awestruck
Prison bars,
Long and wide
Trivial strength
Rods I rattle
An affliction tide
Iron chains,
Rusted with tears
Sweat and anguish
Tied in desolation
Leaving marks of despondency
Hunter,
Of love
Bringing down affection
Replacing with dejection
Imparting melancholy
Leashing mercilessly
To a colony
Of endless woe
Eternity of dolour
Reminder of failure
Pioneer of gloom
Trapped,
In this labyrinth
In this maze
In this hallucination
Hit me,
Oh blaze,
To fight this bleakness,
Forgive me
I hold no more strength...

— The End —
