"misinformation" poems
I want to compel, all the people to tell, of their travels, their hardships, b and times that went well. The love that was shared, and hate that was bared. Is a part of your life, if you truly cared. Twas fear that berated the souls of the earth. With pain contemplated, the flame lost its hearth. But when claims no one stated, begin to unearth. The stains we created, start losing their worth. For what is fear without worries to fuel it? Darkness may make it, but governments mule it. Realize, this fear isn't real, and misinformation, is all you've been fed. Then you'll start to ponder, is this life even real? Is there any legitimacy, in all the things that they've said? There is nothing hiding in your closet or bed. And there are less evil people, than in the news that you've read. This idea was created, so they wouldn't be blamed. But you won't be jaded, you cannot not be tamed. The people that faded, that still are unnamed. You fight for their memory, cause they'd do the same. You Stand for their ideals, And keep them all close. Feel all of the feels, cheerful or morose.

This Fear isn't real
Practicality is the reality of ignominious totality the devices of all sizes and the grammatical mentality of systematic duality. Punctuation is the ********** the *********** of every generation the permutation and saturation of wordsmith temptation for re-calibration the aberration and consternation that leads to misinformation and condemnation and annihilation of the constellation colloquial conversation the abomination of language urbanization the fermentation and ionization of linguistic complications the desolation of commas and semi-colons the affirmation of their vs they're the augmentation of amalgamation is just the lyrical ************ of a hooded basketball top nation the culmination of devastation the gestation and interpolation that leads to appreciation isolation and justification acceleration the modification and assimilation of poorly-worded implementation and the contamination of myriad exploration alienation in illumination punctuation is the salvation of documentation against the tides of violation and the extermination of regurgitation the classification of discrimination and last but not least the liberation of misrepresentation.

Linguistic Augmentation
We are a global society When we want oranges in the fruit bowl, When we want out of our rut Just long enough To brown in a patch of Spanish sun. We are a global society When the Japanese car breaks down And we are in need of a cheap fix To keep food on the table, Some Latvian mechanic Who helps us find our way home. We are our own nation, An island nation, When the zeroes run low And there are spaces, Foreign faces, To which we can point And blame. We are a global society With our sweat-shop chic, American coffee chains Selling Colombian ground beans, Frappuccinos in plastic cups- Made in China And served by a Romanian barista In Italian heels. We are a global society When the demand is high And the payment is low. We are our own nation, An island nation, When hands reach out for help And our pockets are too shallow, Our time, too brief To commit to a unity We feel is dragging us down. We are a global society When the football is on, When the lager is Belgian And the supermodel, Greek. When we cradle that bag of Cheetos After smoking too much **** We are a global society When oppression is overt, Caricatured in bulletin posters, Threatening to land Upon our own front door. We are our own nation, An island nation, When poverty seems contagious, When we have to clean up Someone else’s mess, Still we scar the Middle East Only half-interested in an exit. We are a global society When we get sick, When we borrow another doctor For our ailing NHS. When cities of white people burn, We are a global society, When Africa is divided, We are nowhere to be seen. Prime mover of the commonwealth Yet we fall beneath the breadline And living easy is so rare. We are our own nation, An island nation, Under the false flag Of a golden age We were conned to believe in. Our nation, our island nation, Lost amongst a sea of misinformation.

What moral magistrate Monster of mediocrity Makes a model citizen of me Even if I don’t want to be All upright and uptight Humorless jackboot Goose stepping toadstool The fascist conservative fool Who pedals misinformation Counting on fear and stupidity To turn strangers into tools Yep that one eyed sheep In the blind herd Who wants to tell me What I should or shouldn’t do Why bother With that proctor Of indignity Who counsels The talented To remain dormant In their humility Doctor of docility Prescribing conformity Storming the cities Bleeding us of our individuality To make more metal cogs For the culture machine

Individuality Killer
This time the revolution will not be televised We will not give them a chance to corrupt it with their lies It will spread instead by word of mouth In the dark of night At odd morning hours In the brilliant blaze of the sun At odd locations The revolution will go undetected Until the ranks become the masses And the masses become the majority No color No creed No race Just anger The shouts of independence The shouts of freedom The clenched teeth and clenched fists Will scream that we’ve had enough That our stand is here and now The revolution of possible change The revolution of tomorrow and the day after The revolution of now The revolt against government chains The revolt against corporate buying and selling The revolt against misinformation and misdirection The opening of eyes and voice The screaming of the silent majority Protest In the streets On the internet In their heads Docile no more Grab your pens Let loose your tongues We are going to war

Steal This Revolution!
That familiar sound of a helicopter approaching out of nowhere its search light focused. Down onto a desolute and lonely moorland quickly joined by a second one. But what is the true intention of their task as a figure looks up wearing a mask. No ordinary being sitting there in isolation as soldiers approach with guns. Nearby a circular craft of unknown origin lays damaged amongst the grass. Away from the view of a watching public the covert operation is slick. Taken alive the alien is roughly removed put into a third chopper nearby. Two other bodies are bagged and tagged the sight is cleared of any evidence. Reports of an object seen falling denied once again the military have lied. How many incidents have really occured the public know nothing about? The real truth of an extra terrestial existence rather than endless misinformation. Was Roswell fact or fiction what is area fifty one when will the real truth be done? The Foureyed Poet.

A synthetic thunderstorm envelops me and I forget where my life is. I forget about you and your fluent tongue of disinterest, puppetry, and misinformation. I forget the speakers and soundscapes; wires and ties and strings attached, the way I struggle to sleep alone, but cannot share my life with anyone. I forget the next payday, the next lay; the need to borrow words and feelings just to make sense of my own. Distraction and hunger for nicotine become near-echoes of a past life- an umbilical bond to old decades of habit and mistrust for the sober mind. I forget the ash and ends I have left behind. The ocean is close but occupies no space, only the airwaves with a rhythmic breath to still my own, reducing my identity to fractals of self-interest and oneness. I forget who I am amongst the writing desk, The Book Of Longing, the cooling tea; the stagnant water. I forget flesh desire, violent *** and apologetic ******* I forget, for once, the need to live, amongst all of this living.

A Veritable Fountain of Misinformation
After twenty years, as cursed as I may be for having learned computerese, I continue to examine bits, bytes and words and insure that I'm one of those computer nerds. Program design, source code and compile followed by walk-throughs that place me on trial. There's lots of testing - a means to an end in hopes of avoiding future production abends. There are micros, minis and mainframe hardware which are made to work with in-house and vendor software. Provided are many platforms for everyone to use and assure misinformation in data's abuse. Author Note: Learn more about me and my poetry at: www.squidoo.com/book-isbn-1419650513/

Poem: Computer Geek
There are many limitations sometimes. Of course these are only restrictions we place on ourselves, but we groom certain communities to fulfill a certain appearance and dismiss the breakers of unspoken rules. Don't drop the status quo. Paradigm. I want to write and not write about things. I don't know. No, I do know. I want to write without the stigma that these topics bring. I want to write a poem about Facebook. See how much appreciation that gets. Poetry about Facebook won't be liked often. Write about how it ****** me off that your ex boyfriend (that I dumped, by the way) has a new girlfriend with better taste and better photography skills than me. Remember how I made fun of his ex's for that? They're doing that about me now, I stomped on his heart. I teem with insecurity thinking about it. ******* selfish, I feel like a ***** How I'm tired of being self-depricating because I don't want to seem like an ******* I've come a long way as a person and I'm not allowed to brag about it. I'm barely allowed to take a compliment or I'll look like I'm preening. Write about how I'm tired of being kinda ugly sometimes. Write about how I had *** with someone, how when I told someone else, I could see them and society drawing a big **** crown of judgement, and how that's ****** I wish we could all grow up. I wish I could explain that my apathy is, to a certain degree, purposeful. Because looking at feminism articles every day made me feel like **** I felt like a victim constantly, and I alienated myself from making friends with normal people because I was an extremist. I got tired of constant misery and misinformation. The feminist community was cannibalistic too, and I don't think I wanted to make friends with such hyper-aggressive people. Write about how I want to be a writer and how I can only write three sentences and then I look at the screen hopelessly. How lame. I'M SO ******* NAIVE BECAUSE I want so badly to be different in a better way, but I know I'm just the same. I want to be able to change the world and I know I can't, it doesn't matter anyway. I haven't been able to cry in three months. I'm tired of trying to find my brand of catharsis.

No arguments were made or evidence exposed convincing bad assumptions turned the open sign to closed If that is all it takes baseless suspicion, fear and doubt perhaps thats the sign you're looking for the one that lets you out There's been no misinformation no vagueness and no lies but every now and then I see doubt creep in your eyes I can't help you solve this issue only you choose who to trust but there's no relationship without it you can't get by on lust. As for me well I trust everyone until they show me I should not better that than throw it all away over something soon forgot

MEMO FROM:  Mr Phil Indifrence,  Strategy Chess Insurgency  Corps. Space Headquarters, Castleview Avenue, Dunstable XY10 TO:  Ms Petal  Dontrun,  Crimson Chess Federation. De la Wigan Headquarters, Wigan, United Kingdom,  SM00 Dear Ms Dontrun, Please accept my greetings. I write to clarify my stance on our outstanding matters and hopefully to deter further speculation, gossips, rumours, distortions, misinformation and sensationalism by the media. As you are aware I contacted you on the day as arranged only to be confronted with a response that was astoundingly unethical, un- professional, rude, inconsiderate and totally uncalled-for. It was so below expected standard that it raised doubt about your suit- ability to be seen as a matured adult much less an intelligent being. Still in the reverberations of this seismic occurrence I called again in the hope it was a momentary loss of composure and yet again I was subjected to a deluxe version of the first onslaught. To say I was flabbergasted is putting things mildly, most especially as it was totally unwarranted and underserved. It was obvious you lacked any sense of decorum and had become an affront to common human decency and an embarrassment to your status. In all fairness you did call some weeks later, but it had become apparent that the ethos, protocol and cordiality that my Organi- sation works within may not be relevant to your Organisation, hence my unavailability to your contact. I write to primarily reiterate that my position on this matter and the present status quo is not based on some immature Ego play, stubbornness, power-play or pride, rather it's in all truthfulness it's a belief in upholding standards in ethical considerations. I do not believe that bad manners, ill-considered behaviour, ill-judgement and a lack of sensitivity and good grace are matured and progressive trends to interact cooperatively within. In conclusion, this is my stance on this matter and I hope it helps your understanding. I believe a formal Apology from you and your Organisation is appropriate in this regard and will instigate a return to cordiality between our Organisation. If you however feel this is unnecessary I will respect your decision and the situation will remain unresolved. I thank you for your attention. Regards, Phil Indifrence. C.E.O.

“It's very difficult not to come across as a supremacist when there are so many black inferiorists around.” ― David Bullard Look!..he's a leech, he's a parasite That black man is draining the Taxpayers He comes from a rich family, they say they are titled Look at him, educated and refined, arrogant as black **** Go get him, the ******* parasite cheating the working classes Why not tell the ******* truth That a white family of thieves broke into the flat of a black man Something that they had done once already and caught but let off Because they were neighbours and pitied, police were not involved They did it again and were called thieving working class scums Up comes hail and thunder and war Their Militant leftist friends say it Anti-monarchy Revolution Say's victim is a parasite and a leech, robbing the working classes Go get him, his life destroy, cast him asunder, hound him to hell Down with the rich, this is war, people's power, this is democracy LIES, HOGWASH, DISINGENUOUS ******** RACIST CRAP They can't bear to see a black man do well They can't bear a respectable, decent, confident black man To then stand up and call them out to their faces was the ultimate They are supreme and all else must fall before them or put down A black that is not a Black Inferiorist must be discredited at all cost If the situation was reversed And a black thief steals from an equivalent white with same status (   He comes from a rich family, they say they are titled ) Would the reactions be the same (Say's victim is a parasite and a leech, robbing the working classes ) Honesty says NO, you know it and we all know it (Supremacy has taught him that all people of color are threats irrespective of their behavior. Capitalism has taught him that, at all costs, his property can and must be protected. Patriarchy has taught him that his masculinity has to be proved by the willingness to conquer fear through aggression) But the black man becomes a leech, a parasite a threat For standing up to white criminals and daring to call them out Devious political  chicanery is unleashed and our Supremacists All rally up, totting falsehood and misinformation to cover truths Why don't see any Class war action in Kensington and Chelsea What really bothers some of you is simple - and you corrupt others Blacks must always be inferior and if they are not, you fight secretly and covertly! Because only you have the God given right to live decently Only you have the right to air your opinion or disagreement Only you have the right to call it as you think you see it. And you'll fight tooth and nail and with everything else to keep it that way!

Tonight, at work, I asked 10 people if they knew of what had happened at Los Angeles International Airport (henceforth: LAX) not 30 hours earlier. Only 2 had heard of it. One, because a cousin was traveling that day and, the other, because a regular at his restaurant also had family who had left LAX just before it happened just in time to be stopped with the rest of the traffic for two and a half hours. I find that sort-of strange; information, even if misinformation spreads too quickly and ubiquitously now-a-days with our cell-phones, internet, satellite radio and media sensationalism for a mere 1 in 5 to have heard of this, and even then, only because of Family's accounts.

Quite queer indeed.
Tonight, at work, I asked 10 people if they knew of what had happened at Los Angeles International Airport (henceforth: LAX) not 30 hours earlier. Only 2 had heard of it. One, because a cousin was traveling that day and, the other, because a regular at his restaurant also had family who had left LAX just before it happened just in time to be stopped with the rest of the traffic for two and a half hours. I find that sort-of strange; information, even if misinformation spreads too quickly and ubiquitously now-a-days with our cell-phones, internet, satellite radio and media sensationalism for a mere 1 in 5 to have heard of this, and even then, only because of Family's accounts. Apparently, he acted alone, wearing military-like clothes and walked into LAX at about 9:20 AM PST on November 1 carrying a very cost-effective Military and Police AR-15 concealed in a bag with over a hundred spare .223 rounds and a note with words of sociopolitical dissent and an apparent intent to **** several Travel Security Agents.

I'm driving, hands on the yoke I bought it by acting like One But I dread every Monday My eyes shoot missiles to the moon Every night on Sunday It's ok, let the bombs go off Erase some of my misinformation We're all in handcuffs anyway But who's got the crooked stick I'm flying, hands on the yoke I was taught it by acting like One But I dread every knock-knock joke My co-pilot tells me as he eats Blood oranges It's ok, let the bombs go off Erase some of my misinformation We're all in handcuffs anyway But who keeps beating me with wood The death sales, the dead don't sell How did it start, when did it sail An all the ELFs have taken The death ray off the shelf So all our cells can scurry

Something feels wrong about walking on pavement When I could be skipping through fields of grass Something's wrong with economic enslavement When we could be carelessly letting time pass Something's wrong with perpetual warfare When all we desire is love and peace Something feels empty about likes and shares And something feels wrong about racist police Something feels off when politicians speak With their lies, misinformation, and deceit Something feels wrong because we've passed our peak We're on the decline and it tastes so sweet. Something feels wrong with the passing breeze As if the air knows what's coming next Something looks wrong with decaying trees They too understand that we are hexed. Something feels wrong in my dark twisted mind Something feels wrong with this dark twisted Earth Something feels wrong about being kind Something feels wrong about having no worth. Something feels wrong about dragging along And it'll all feel wrong until the day I'm gone

Something Feels Wrong
In the fog of war Decisions are made in haste In the dew of night Misinformation prevails In the heat of noon Soldiers await their orders In the day’s tumult Dead bodies drape the landscape In the daze of war Mistakes are often concealed After the war’s fog May the truth be ascertained In the dew of peace

“I Take Responsibility” *
Illusions of grandeur, spoon-fed to the youth. Blinders cloak their unsuspecting eyes from truths. The masquerade of the masses, Misinformation spreads through the classes. "You can be what you desire to be", How maniacal can one cliche be? Kids, it's just that easy. No effort or self-discipline needed, and all you need is a degree. Real-life is much stranger than fiction. The depiction of the world couldn't be more of a mask. Slough all that you've heard, there will be afflictions. Or, continue and join the world's soporific masque.

Message to the Youth
Heed not what you perceive Enthroned inside a hopeless dream You won't see tomorrow Oh the throes of woe that follow Order and fear con- tinual indoctrination conditioning the masses minds exposed to so- cietal disease and fiction, damnation Order through fear per- petual misinformation Transitioning to madness Minds explode to de- monical seeds of destruction The eye emblazoned With a sonic boom Fate spins her loom Mushroom clouds in full bloom They fill the room Wrought with endless gloom Spell a certain doom Now they're entombed All reduced to statues No ones excused Global destruction Patience, save it, face it You're under watch Forbearance, inherent Ignorance apparent through our existence Fighting til my death Masses rising, the Angels sing-Angels sing Fighting til my death Senses fading (I'm done) Angels sing-Angels sing Descending into the mind of Chaos- The semblance fades Triumphant, turn the tables Now wake up Arch-angels blare your trumpets The end is nigh Ride pale horse, take me to the edge of celestial shores unknown Ascending light Ride pale horse, take me to the edge of celestial shores unknown

Ascending Light
I bet your mouth tastes of stars. I bet you have supernova sized explosions hidden behind your teeth and I bet that comets trail through your hand and leap off the edge of infinity, careening into nothing. I bet your skin looks of a galaxy. I bet it is marred by shattered constellations and I bet that in between the universes in your eyes sits an empty thought, awakening for no one. I bet your hair is made of braided planetary orbits. I bet you tie it back with black holes of misinformation and I bet that it blasts open your mouth like a caldera a galactic cluster of imaginary time, shooting off bits of malice and meteorite. You where born in the heavens, so allow me to crack open your bones and let satellites spill upon my palms.

Bleed Your Galaxies
When you sit and stare at people, As they go throughout their daily tasks, Do you ever happen to wonder, If the expression their wearing is a mask? As they walk right on past you, A smile drawn across their face, Do you ever think that maybe, In this world they actually feel out of place? And when a mother catchers her child being reckless, You watch as she speaks to him with fury, Do you mentally chide her instantly, or wonder that if maybe, That's her way she handles worry? When a little girl of six, Sits alone, watching everyone else, Do you think that she is sad, Or maybe that she just prefers to by herself? So many times, so many cases, We believe our own interpretation, That our eyes and ears have sought the truth, But then we learn, often too late, that they'd gathered misinformation. Oh, all the countless times we see things, And deem them to mean something of no such, You would think the we would eventually learn, Not to so quickly judge.
