"monstrosities" poems
I cannot pick a color I love more Each is thrilling and some seem the breath of life to all the rest I loved my crayons They became my escape from misery the contrast to any given day at school Any excuse to use them all or just one to avoid that lowest reading group the monstrosities of math If I couldn't sing it there were no letters in the alphabet I could not tell you A from Z But you see-- That day was purple! That was all that mattered I loved its richness and its depth its mystery its royalty King Midas would have liked it, I was sure almost a religion Vestments of the priest in the times of expectation It is the explanation for the last of day As a five-year-old I drew my love for purple Passionate and outside all the lines-- off onto the desk I was so proud! But-- Miss Platt, so horrified asked, What is it I was trying to do? I didn't know.... I was suddenly ashamed and frightened too

Coloring in Kindergarten
between the monstrosities of glass, concrete and steel, i spy an infinite expanse of Mediterranean blue sky, transporting me to a spiritual high. way up there, a self absorbed lonely eagle soars in ecstasy, untouched by the noise and suffering going on down here. © 2022

untouched
I see the demons in these people, Tired eyes carrying the weight of self infliction and the sight of monstrosities, They do not see the sun, And their breath is a tax

Empathy
As a child I wasn't really afraid of the dark, There weren't really monsters in my closet and the feeling of checking under my bed was never something that I had to fear, But as I grew older, I learned that the monster was always in a far away place, I learned in school that monsters didn't really exist and there was nothing I should have to fear, I grew up in a Christian home Learning that in some way I needed to be saved and I accepted that protection Learning that living in hell for eternity was worth being saved from But in my innocence I forgot about the monsters that live here As planes are crashed into buildings And snipers in cars Inciting terror upon innocence As a child in a free nation is oblivious to the fact that there is something to truly be afraid of Something that's hidden The cracks in the glass of this facade only seem to spider across the dark crevices of my brain wishing to... Wishing to be free Clawing their way up my throat Asking for forgiveness instead of permission Wishing to let go of their bonds because the only thing that's keeping them there is the thought that they could be kept at bay Brittle chains with keys in the locks and the only thing that stops them from being set free is us I've been told the eyes are the window to the soul That if you look closely you can see their thoughts and desires And demons And as it turns out I'm blind to the fact that when I try to look in the mirror That monsters won't chase me in my sleep and claw away at my soul That no one is in control of the monsters The monsters are in control of me. Humanities greatest lie is that we can save our selves. The monsters won't be free because we won't let them take control until they do And this great deception has conceived this monstrosity that nobody has seen because everyone is afraid to look inside ourselves to see how awful the wound really is We can't see our own glass houses caving in The monstrosities of this world are our own creation With homicidal tendencies and a Picasso like disposition Spraying our own blood upon this ripped apart canvas and calling it art As a child I was told monsters didn't exist That, the monsters were in a far away place They couldn't attack me in my sleep and that there was nothing to fear in this world I just didn't realize it was all in my head. As children we are afraid of the monsters under our bed Asking our parents to look under neath them for us so that they can prove that it's just our imagination, "There's nothing to be afraid of" they tell me Running to the parents room in the middle of the night to ask to stay with them because we don't grasp the reason why we are scared to begin with. I wonder if nightmares are from the monsters trying to be free Breaking out of their shackles of our parents lies telling us that monsters don't exist, That there's nothing you have to fear because the monsters can't touch you. And you as an innocent young child convince yourself that they only tell you facts because you can't comprehend that, It's all in your head, The greatest lie that the devil ever told was that he didn't exist, The second is that there are no monsters, Lying to ourselves cause we are the monsters And they lie to us so we put them off as non existent It was all... in my head. I'm gonna ask you to look in my eyes, I wonder, I wonder if you can see mine

The battle is upon us We can finally put ourselves to the test Memories of the past still haunt us We fight for freedom so that our minds can rest Easy knowing that we took a stand Against twisted beasts of human form I hold my blade in a trembling hand I'm ready to weather this mighty storm *I thought i was a man ready to protect but now i can't even stand ***** watching my team mates feet and necks be crushed by these mountains of dreck. I have't even started combat but i am seeing the light now here one comes what is the point of putting up a fight?* Most of us won't see tomorrow Why is Armin so frightened? Is he just going to stand there And get eaten by a titan? I need to protect him He's one of the last things I've got And I can't let a monster dissect him My targets locked I'm going in for the nape This wretched creature Will never escape *Without being able to solve this place's puzzle I will my life will end by being guzzled By a ******* belligerent beast Only looking for its next feast How could we have a king when these monstrosities rule this domain Our society might all as well burst like there's a flame over propane It is a fitting end for this monarch's curious servent being killed by the real king for being too observant Hey I am a king too I guess... of cowards, my friend's blood is my moat And their pieces of the mangled bodies will be my mink coat Now I am slipping down this demons throat, it doesn't matter who I am ***** this... Wait what is this grabbing my hand?* I won't let him go What lies beyond these walls? We've always wanted to know. How could he surrender to fear? The look in his eyes We can't die here. I'll trade my life to keep his going As I slip into the belly of the beast My sense of urgency is growing All I see are the bodies of comrades who have tasted defeat The light is fading Why is existence so bleak?

Belly of The Beast (Collab)
The battle is upon us We can finally put ourselves to the test Memories of the past still haunt us We fight for freedom so that our minds can rest Easy knowing that we took a stand Against twisted beasts of human form I hold my blade in a trembling hand I'm ready to weather this mighty storm *I thought i was a man ready to protect but now i can't even stand ***** watching my team mates feet and necks be crushed by these mountains of dreck. I have't even started combat but i am seeing the light now here one comes what is the point of putting up a fight?* Most of us won't see tomorrow Why is Armin so frightened?

Perspiration accumulates into salty beads, Falling into her eyes, eyes that have lost their gleam. We’ve been trapped like savaged animals for three agonizing nights. Diminutive apertures in this death box supply minimal light. The screech of the rails are a bittersweet melody to our ears. For we only know what these horrific monsters have taught. Fear. As the door slams open, I’m pried from my wife. I wonder if this will be the last moment I see her smile. My people are marked with terror and pain. I realized were barricaded in with barbed wire chains. My subverted clothes reek of secretion. This camp is untrustworthy, raising apprehension. They claim we are not human. But I ask, do we not bleed, when we are injured? Do we not dream blissful thoughts? Do we not pray to the same God? The same God that punishes the innocent; Bringing blithe to those sinners that shed blood. When we lose our cherished, our loved ones, Do we not shed tears? Do we not mourn? No! We must not, for we are not human, According to what the Nazis see. We are the innocent, robbed of life. They are the monsters who roam free. At least, that’s what I see. I see men, women, and children stripped of clothing, Stripped of dignity, stripped of all things humane. While these barbaric monstrosities make allegations. Claiming they are purifying society, when they are to blame. Men lose wives; children lose mothers. Families are torn apart; sisters lose brothers. Those of us who survive, work until brittle. Still we carry on, if our minds are able. Backs of men are scarred from arduous lashes. While the sick are trapped in rooms imbued with gases. My hands are enveloped with calicoes and cuts. My mind grows weary, I dream an ending abrupt. I’m crippled with anger, and tears that still drip sore. My heart crescendos with pain, about to implode. It’s difficult to refuse the tears when I hear the desolate screams. I’m trapped in a perpetual nightmare, a ceaseless dream. Still I carry on in life, for that is the greatest revenge. The day we feel the kiss of freedom, will be the day we have avenged.

Forgotten Horrors of the 19th Century

Let us mine into the depths of Shakhty, and scorn the Western state of communist superintendence. We are embroiled in a political and industrial conglomerate where cold wars lay the foundations of unstoppable monstrosities. Converse with Andrei Romanovich Chikatilo, as you splatter milk across the surface of your psychological cereal, and raise questions around the episodic nature of criminal profiling. I love the olfactory beauty of a railway station, whose stench is dissimilar to the pastures of raunchy and deadly opportunities which result in Rostov butchery. Nevertheless, it is rooted in crop failure and the enforced collectivization of agriculture.

Vicarious Traumatisation
Covered in rust from pig iron girders, and dust from the nicks in old bricks that time cracks I cannot relax and wish I could just blow up those buildings and stack them in mounds on the ground,which I realise is no different to what they are now. Fred Dibnah would know how he would have taught me,teached me he was a preacher man and could demolish with polish as easy as pie, all those monstrosities that laugh as they scrape at the sky (they should bow) It should be back to the drawing board for those clowns in the towers of the towns where the ring roads depress us.compress us until we're back in the mould. and the old men in whitehall who still play billiards with no ***** should heed what we say, we don't want it this way. We want works, we want perks,we want more out of this living that you are not giving and we're sick, do you hear? we are sick to the pits which no longer exist except in the memories of miners and women who scrabbled through dirt and put scraps of coal in their skirts and then carried them home. Poverty is the bone upon which poor people chew but be careful down there one day it may be you that's being eaten being beaten by us.

I spy
From the moment the tale of her ruin made itself known, mankind has coveted proof of her existence. Many a curious hand has stalked across the glossy veins of maps and the cracked vertebrae of books enclosing information most pivotal to her secret whereabouts and the tragic evanescence that initiated her exile. Many a sailor explorer scientist poet have perished among the gnashing jaws of the sea in their pursuit of the glory her exploitation would surely bring.   In response to such grievances-- the reality of losing oneself in the midst of searching for what has already been lost-- imagination-- the belief in magic, in the seemingly unbelievable-- was outlawed within the human psyche; now, they say she is merely a madman's legend, a myth concocted by Plato so as to warn against the perils of greed. But never did they consider that perhaps she did not want to be found to begin with, that her seclusion has always been a necessity so as not to repeat the monstrosities of the past-- so she should not resurface to satiate their earthly desires only so she can be drowned anew. {Atlantic}

Tired Brain spits words in fits and starts The internal running commentary misfiring badly Ideas stuck in bottlenecks Traffic backed up and down the on-ramps Leading off the congested thoughtways Tired Stormwater overflow pours out of blocked drains Sidling up the gutters of fallen leaves And other assorted detritus of modern existence Spewing out over footpaths and under cars And over the tops of the boots of downtrodden dawn treaders Tired Mountain pass impassable under it’s mercurial precipitate mask Features only glimpsed in snatches Like looking through a white picket fence while running Thought trees bunching up around the middle Warping under the sun and the scrutiny of others Tired Collapsing under the weight of the wave function Subatomic particles currently in a state of nonexistence Abandoned altogether by the Higgs, thoughts vibrate and dissipate In extraordinary frequency and noise Drowned out by the audible hum of the big bang Tired As if running a marathon in treacle Start with a whimper then dribble to a halt Running barefoot on salt flats Or over pillows in stilettos More time spent on face than feet Tired Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more The court jester prances for the Big Queen ***** And her merry King of Fools with his band of merry drunkards Quickly losing the point of it all As words start tumbling down in random order Staccato signal messages like binary or Morse code Information overload threatens to upend the boatload Like the military dumping refugees into the harbour Buckle up armour and wait for the onslaught Of somnatic visions, twisted psychedelic impressions Land mine concussions in the fevered dreams of veterans Who witnessed limb torn from limb In the name of something nobody remembers Lose their tempers and start a war on home turf Jungles petrified into concrete monstrosities that blot out the sun From the flowers that feed in the cracks of the pavement Everywhere bereavement and none shall take leave From the cold, impassive logic of Death Who comes knocking as you read this Wired No chance of sleep now This is why one shouldn’t write poetry late at night

Goya's not gone his nightmares and realities still shadow us - the Los Desastres de la Guerra still palpitate in our desert lands and hills beating like hearts the Aztecs offered the sun; and the barbarism of an axe over heads still thrives - and barbarians can never hear the plea of a mother Tampoco tells us of women and girls ***** in war and Oh, the Fight with Cudgels looms large over our skies and the horror of Saturn devouring his son pervades the earth and the Black Paintings run amok in the form of men shrouded in black Ah, Picasso is there too in our madness: Guernica bares its teeth and monstrosities

WHO WILL SAVE ‘HUMANITY’ FROM ITSELF? Ayad Gharbawi Come down, and celebrate with us all The beginning of a senseless ****** Where children sat awaiting Trying to Understand The necessity That you humans found in yourselves Was so necessary to enact Against the innocently impaled victim I guess, that no one Can ever Accept truths That for me and for you Were so different And yes, the medieval priest Did laugh gutturally In his drunken paradise Yes, that man you loved Was very sickening In his punishing self-imposed bleeding dictums And he can no longer talk Through his burning tongue That has been mercifully stabbed Just far too Many times.. Eternal laughter That tries to memorize the renaissance poetry Is a silly game That gets you somewhere Endless rows of frowning fools I tell you What did you learn from All those poetry you did memorize? I tell you We must all decide To stand Somewhere of relevance and depths Here in our personal hour That God Has dictated for us Sing, then, the songs of deathness Wherein the lonely dance Hundreds and acres more Of corpses have been recently Unearthed Rotting statues And you can no more bear it I know Just as the world Drowns her dulled eyes Flying fast and far Away from your memories And now all the clowns disguised as priests Have told me to die So soon I guess, they want me to say “Goodnight” But I will try to breathe One more breath One more escape From this imprisonment You classified as ‘life’ You see, I wasn’t really sure If they weren’t in truth Priests disguised as clowns Come tonight and throw your Second-hand flowers In that grave for The princess that has been assassinated tonight Murdered deeply In this Paris night And tomorrow we’ll all laugh idiotically In astonishment, once again And the bewildered children will, once more, sit not understanding The murderous nature of you human beings And yes, I myself, once more Do not understand what is impelling you all To **** ****** and butcher again and again Come ye saviours! Save us, ye saviours! The crucified darlings Tearful you stand I pray for you to rise up and do revenge Against these sadistic monstrosities In my increasingly disorientating brain Christ! I did try so hard to reach out to you For you to save us And my doubts are brimming now As you wither ever more Decomposing on that wooden cross

The autumn's scent has now released As air is crisp and rife with chills, But cold like this is far from bleak With all these trees where crimson spills. Orange leaves that catch the sunlight, Skeletal, their frames are showing. In their shades of death they give A final dance from breezes blowing. The prickling tickles fingertips To stiffened, numb monstrosities, And you could swear your blood had froze To cause such harsh viscosity. For it's now that summer weeps A solemn, meek exhailed despair, Which whistles in among the leaves And dissipates in frozen air. The autumn's scent has now released, The orange, red and yellow shows, The rigid fingers point away As summer sighs, and summer goes.

The Autumn's Scent

Little sparrows* **shopping-malls of Shinto reactors tsunamis of Hello-Kitty schoolgirl ****    *Pretty, white chicks who are still not fully fledged     and look as if their clothes are too short for them* **tiny plates of aesthetically-arranged trivialities meaningless Engrish phrases on T-Shirts**      Last year’s paper fan. A night with a clear moon            One needs a particularly beautiful fan for some special occasion **in herd-like apathy, they download Anime Girlfriend App the robotic allure of the Orient defined**     *To wash one’s hair, make one’s toilet, and put on scented robes      An earthen cup.

*** Po-Biz: Listless
Take a trip inside of my mind But be warned that there are worse things than Lions, and tigers, and bears. The monsters that guard this jungle mind Aren’t soft and nice when they choose to be They are horrifying, Bloodthirsty, Larger than life, All sharp teeth and horns. Take a trip inside of my mind But know it’s easy to get lost in Mazes, and illusions, and metaphors. The jigsaws aren’t easy 50 piece puzzles They are thousands of broken words With no guarantee That they will fit together Nicely- Or at all Take a trip inside of my mind But remember that you will find memories Broken, and wonderful, and messy. These recollections will tell you who I am They say where I came from, fears, dreams, hopes, And lack there-of. Take a trip inside of my mind But it isn’t overly charming between the Monstrosities, and mazes, and memories. If beautiful is what you were searching for You can only find it in glimpses between Sharp teeth,   Broken words, Lost hope, And jumbled jungle vines. So if you decide To take a trip inside of my mind, Take note of the Beautiful disaster, Organized chaos, And sweet sorrow. Be gentle, Be cautious, Be aware. Because this is one mangled mind, And you are one of the first To go inside.

Take a Trip Inside of My Mind
A silkworm burrows through the building creating narrow passages for the many to follow. A path designed to teach them how to live, as it slithers through each hallway it spews out gray compost for the people to thrive on. Mindlessly this creature repeats it's pattern knowing no better; each corridor the same blend of dreadful and brain dead. Beneath it the muddled mix of moss green and **** brown tiles symmetrical caverns line it's domain as feeding homes for the children. Third stage monstrosities recycle what they have ate for the young what they seek is what they are losing the longer they feast. Their lust for creativity and a sense of humanity fades with each nibble minds that were ever able of change become part of the cycle. Ripe with potential until swallowed by the worm losing their limbs: Hands that could have sculpted new halls, feet that could have spread the news "to escape while you can", and their minds for the future can only relish in repetition . They themselves become part of the system of life-- where rotten fruits of thought are absorbed and digested by all. The struggle for survival of the fittest becomes the fight to find your own knowledge, keeping your mind fresh and alive.

The Wormhole Consuming Our Brains
A feather has been placed on the breast of Mother Nature only to be blown away by the winds she created, crafted out of good intentions and placed onto the wings of irreplaceable mystic holding super powered beings that claim the ability which mere mortals only dream to obtain. Spreading for all to see, each climate of generously sparing and over populated monstrosities unable to be reached by force in calves and thighs, these which i object to call by given proper letters haunt me in conventional senses. Ugly, foul, wretched, I personify my adjectives as ammunition for these paper dwelling drawings that seem so fascinating to common folk. Fly my mother told me, fly.

A Day In The Life
I wish they could hear me sometimes. I wish they could hear me crying in my bedroom over an idiotic boy. I wish they could hear me throwing things left and right as I create a storm of my clothes over the latest thing that is enraging me to no extent. I just wish they could hear me as I repetitively scream, "YOU'RE SO STUPID" to myself over and over again until it is embedded into my brain and I feel it in my body. But they can't. And they never will. Deaf. That's what my parents  are. Deaf as they talk to each other with their visual language, Creating a three-dimensional image that communicates all their ideas through art. Deaf as they imagine what the music I love so much sounds like, But all they can ever do is wonder. Deaf as they can see me, but never fully grasp what my voice sounds like as I screech and howl for their help. My screeches and howls are like tiny whispers in their ears. My mom once asked me, "What is it like to hear? I wish I could." But mom, I am here to tell you that your ears are blessed. You cannot hear the monstrosities that exist in the world: The sound of loud eating, the sound of two cars crashing into each other as both drivers finally heed what's happening, but lastly, the sound of your own daughter weeping in her room with solitude as she mopes hopelessly. Mom, you're so lucky to have never heard that.

Life and its ups and downs.. ..towns Becoming cities Growing into Monstrosities. People pushed together Like storms and weather They grumble Rumble And in this rabid dry tumble they come out All creased. At least in the countryside where I reside We have fresh air that fills the lungs.. ..not forgetting the smell of fresh dung which they put on the crops And then sell to the shops Where the folk in the city can buy..vegetables to fry. Stirred?..I could cry. Abominations of regulations..the world is insane. Takes in a deep breath And looks once again..it still looks the same. Men in the banks..those corporate tanks..it's a war We fight on each and every side Even in these hamlets where the gentlefolk reside. There's not a hope..no release.. ..from the unceasing march, of the shiny suits Who would with their boots seek to trample and tred.. ..and that being said, We should surrender? Tender our resignation and in utter frustration go home. This is the New Rome we have built Guilt you can keep. I'm going to sleep Tomorrow is only a dream.

Did you hear what that old man was thinking? Morphic resonance is the experimental name, I think we are served by nodes on a net not spread in the sight of any bird, a chthonic net of stone, girdling the globe in granite, crystalline granite, take it for granted, these boulders are the witnesses, the scars of catastrophe, causing us to wonder how came this to be? Think Yosemite, Ansel Adams POV Think Matterhorn und Mt.Blanc, Old Rockytop, and Dos Cabezas and Long Valley Mountain, all that granite, old as earth. Listen. Time is the idea we share at the moment, Earth's is the life we share at the same time. This is Spaceship Earth, looping Sol as Sol loops Sirius, and there is no mothership, no resupply. This is the only earth, it has survived several civilized monstrosities. As you know, some mortals can't imagine not surviving with it, so we words of earthbound muse, let slip the bands of pride in time to see, we are the music, we make beauty behave as will believes, voluntarily, it seems, we choose beauty with little de liberation, no need to unlock ledgers and boxes of known safe knowns, we imagine ourselves defying the de-ified con instituted authorities warning, given us, they swear by the very vicars of the oil: We warn you… hell's the price, they swear, that we, the people, pay for heresy, dare not think those- no, no, nor hear and see, or never imagine thinking a selfish thought, one you find curiously comforting, for you, your idea, but stop… one heresy breeds another, soon we shall have a collective of individual minds agreeing at once, as all see a particular arranging of colors, in a sunset's single effortless existence as a thing with mortal mindable beauty, did you belive the sunset, or may you, if you wish? __ unravel, and re ravel to save the thread, it has lead through the maze before, I have a witness who tests ifies. Great unquarried granite, but that forms another story upon precepts as yet unglued, un-coagulated, ah, curdled, precepts cultural curdle and clump together. Biomes are adjusting the rethinking of pathos, ethos shall follow, as night follows day, just wait. Patience is formed from memes more than experience, you bet the old man was not lying. Slow and steady, wins the grace. Take it easy. Fade away…

Do you see what I see? We have descended into the belly of the beast. Houses crowd together, their dead eyes staring out. They’ve sprung up overnight like Ugly toadstools. The machines on the hill are busy Scraping away the old. By that I mean What was there before, A forest naturally, And putting up these monstrosities instead. It can’t be let well enough alone. There are too many people and someone’s got to make a buck. The world burns down to the filter. We suffer the fevers of the dry needle people, And are left with what has been Torn out from under us. Some privy chair propped us up with potions. Dutiful pawns, riding the arcs they have fashioned, They pay us a small ransom To cull and sell their wares. Simple sticks and carrots are not enough to wake us. The damage thus wrought we pay no mind to – Subdivisions, shopping malls, parking lots. There are too many people and someone has to pay.

Sprawl
*She was delicate Untouchable She was fragile Yet unbreakable No other feeling Could compare To the way I felt When I was with her Between heaven And earth suspended   We were even Our time was expended Oh to those were the good times She is now long gone What was once delicate And had it's rarity shone upon This others you call mortals Because to them you were a god But I knew you weren't perfect I knew you were flawed But once you saw me For what I truly was my monstrosities And all my flaws That is who I was That is who I am You casted me away Your love was a sham You casted me away forever Banished me in to the darkness For centeries of eternal despondency Nothing but complete blackness*

The moon and the sun
The sound again No the lack of You can't hear anything You try snapping Nothing. Yelling full force Nothing. You know you're not deaf The world around you returns to normal sound But it isn't right the shadows Their deeper almost pit like The oddity of the day pushes you Now in a cryptic room Cobwebs and silence Scattered bones catch the eyes The sound leaves again The shadows deepen Sound still missing you hear a sound A something a nothing A scratching sound They Scamper Crawl Slither Ooze Lurch into the room The darkness now trivial These beast No not beasts creations Imagination run wild The monstrosities of sleep The monsters of fear Death shrinks away God flinches away Jesus prays for your swift demise The devil pleads for your quick end These are long forget nightmares The monsters that haunt man What lives under your bed What little toys man actually is These are the devourers They follow you home The live silently Until you notice them The monstrosities wait Don't try Run and never stop They still watch you
