385 Smiling back from Coronation May be Luxury— On the Heads that started with us— Being’s Peasantry— Recognizing in Procession Ones We former knew— When Ourselves were also dusty— Centuries ago— Had the Triumph no Conviction Of how many be— Stimulated—by the Contrast— Unto Misery—

Smiling back from Coronation
"She is clothed in strength and dignity and laughs without fear of the future" -Proverbs 31:25 A noble woman. Noble - having or showing fine personal qualities or high moral, royal principles and ideals. Knowing this, I ask myself, 'is he worthy of being graced by my royalty?' No. And me, being so fine, why should I EVER have to dry my eyes as a result of his peasantry? [You shouldn't'] Then I think about how moral I am, and all the good I gave to that man, things that no average woman can, [He's silly] So, keeping all of that in mind, I ask myself, 'Should a Noblewoman cry as much as I?' [No.] Lastly, should my dignity, hard earned, clothing me, be compromised for a man with 4 eyes, 1 mouth (full of lies), 2 hands that never had the courage to meet the small of my back, 2 legs that walk around here (arrogantly) like the gold was sitting betwixt his thighs and not mine. [I'm not finished yet] 1 pipe, that I longed for, didn't even care if it was long or... 26 short teeth that I gave my all to make sure were always showing 1 pair of pants that were too tight anyway 1 face that I didn't get to see much, but it doesn't even matter because it wasn't cute anyway. [Hell n-] The nerve of that man. So in strength, I'll move on, striding fearlessly into the future, laughing even after so much suffering, because I'm too fine, too dignified, too good ANYWAY. D, Noblewoman

Virtues of a Noble Woman
Number 7 in the ORLOK series and one of the best O how I relish the taste of blood ****** out from the devastated jugular But there is more, much more When the victim is a nubile **** From a Transylvanian village Where ****** morality Is quite ******* thin on the ground; And that is how I met my fate. 'Twas on an October eve When I met plump Esmeralda And (having fed my fill from her neck as she slept in her hut under filthy rags stinking of stale ***** I sank my fangs into her naked belly Ripping into her bloated guts With my accustomed gusto; My tongue slurping its way Over her twitching **** And finally I descended joyously To her odorous spunk-encrusted ***** For the last rites, Before the final curtain To her worthless life of peasantry. But then, as my excitement mounted, And just as I was on the verge Of pumping out my vampiric ******* I felt an agonising, mind-blasting pain As a major stroke swept through me, Wrecking my synapses big time, Turning my brain into guacamole. And now I am a crippled ****** Just a spasticated old vampire In my second-hand rusting wheelchair, Courtesy of Romanian Social Services, Drooling helplessly Into my swollen pissy crotch, Waiting for another enema, My sole remaining pleasure And a stimulus to my jaded prostate. But, hurrah! hurrah! new hope arrives: A miracle occurs as I read of The new wonder pill from SuperDrug Available only in private practise And guaranteed to rejuvenate the jaded Or your money back, no worries. Orlok will fly again to pursue The pleasures of the flesh And especially the botty-zone.

The Terrible Doom of the Great COUNT ORLOK

There's some sort of magic between the eyes of a resting jaguar. Their languid yawn, opening the gaping maw that lies between their strong teeth, more energetic than their tired paws. Still and regal, wearing muscles like fine silks, their fur like that final kingly cape and their ears their crown. A zoo jaguar once met my eyes and in a deadlocked stare, saw the camera in my hands, and turned his head to pose. A prince always knows when to please his peasantry. As a pleased peasant, I snapped pictures and nearly cried at his serene posture behind a wall of glass. There was some sort of uncharted beauty in the way he spoke without words oversaturating his meanings. It was a way I wished to speak. He was a comrade behind glass, silent yet observant and knowing. Though my head might be a good fit for a maw, I nearly wanted to keep him close company. The dark spots that adorn his body are the only betrayers of the fierce undertones of his monarchy. Well, except for the teeth, of course. Though I try to unlock my gaze and detach from the gossamer threads that were beginning to tie, the jaguar eyes and jaguar prince incessantly seep into my brain, for when I close my eyes all I can see is theirs staring back at me. All I want is just one hand, a single touch, a gift to feel their crowns and robes, to experience the powerful royalty beneath their quiet eyes, even if being taken by their maw may end up being the price. My affection becomes jarred by the human hand jostling my wrist, and I blink for the first time since seeing the posing feline prince. My head turns, trance averted, and I'm looked at with perplexion as my body has sidled up to the glass, and the Jaguar, now alert, is swinging its tail and staring in wonderment at me. My eyes magnetize back to their rightful place, his green eyes on my green eyes, and I wonder what lives we would live like if I could see into his mind and know what's he's like. Perhaps we would be friends, or family, or hunters, or partners, in that other life. Or, perhaps he'd want to eat me nonetheless. One more camera shot of my jaguar prince, and a silent nod as he situates himself back to his pose. Restful, regal, serene. Turning away, I feel myself leave a part of me that always stays with him and taking that part of him that stays with me. Every wild eye does, and our secret we will keep.

Gunga peas calypso Madly in my cooking *** gradually I pour canned coconut milk into the swirling flavors of cilantro, garlic and onions Staring into the rich brown stew I can see my Mother grating coconut meat and hand squeezing the milk like teats from a cow (Too much work for me) creating a traditional coconut rice and peas dish She was raised on a farm in St. Elizabeth, Jamaica early hours, rugged, hard labor were natural for the family which included nine siblings Pauline was a kind big hearted Soul with ample soft ***** perfect for children to lay their heads upon and skin that always seemed to smell of curry Burnt sienna Indian complexion wavy black river hair and colorful patois accent painted a portrait cavorting over the dandy, rolling goat hooved hills of Jamaican village peasantry The Moravian church of England formed beliefs woven inextricably through the fabric of her simplistic innocent existence our Mom instilled a love of God in us that was pure and hearty "Sonya stop your daydreaming" my Mother's clarion voice interrupts my avid reverie "Bumba!" I cry aloud "I haven't had bammy in eons" Quickly my fingers Google Another tasty native recipe chock full of memories and cassava root

Gunga Gal
clay-baked women beat their clothes clean on river rocks at dawn cook rice and dal on an open communal hearth beneath a natural lantern of Indian stars for 20 rupees a day, roughly half a buck I have seen men and women tie rags to cushion their heads towing heavy mortar for new construction yet there is always a brotherly smile gleaming and sisterly hands eager to share what meager provisions earned these are no feeble folk no fashion slaves or mere mortals melodious bhajans mingle with the sweat from their brows and mantras, leelas of God echo through the Taj Mahal temples of their hearts I raise my bhakti glass to the backbone of India Her kundalini rising innocent, humble village peasantry true priests gopikas and gopalas who actually live the Vedic life

The closest thing, I've personally seen, to the truth is that I am fortunate just for the walls and the roof. Everyone in the United States loves to ********** as they all try in vain to dissuade their innate guilt. How much a better person will I become for all of this good that I have done? Corporations buy lakes to upsell life like William Gibson thought they might. Where is the sunset in flame through the eyes of a younger Ridley Scott like we saw? Let's start a fire in the heart of the woods. Everyone will ignite, equally ugly. Dance through the night with me. What's your strain? Would you care for some LSD? We could die at any time, obviously, So why not live up to the destiny Implied by the monarchy? Peasantry, peasantry. Nihilistic pleasantry. Peasantry, peasantry. I used to think I was Selesnya, Boros, or Azorius, but now I know that I'm a Jesuit-- Or something? And so belong to House Dimir Or to the Cult of Rakdos. Peasantry, peasantry. Nihilistic pleasantry.

A gentle touch an eve of peace a staircase looms a wreath of fleece adorns me now I make a vow to see what waits 'pon yonder bow it held my hand and took me hence to arid peak to distant land and there I saw them low and weary stooping dreary sorrowed teary I said can't they see! They need but wait for their sorrows will end by time it will be sate and satan's hold his clutch will loose they shall be free like airborne goose but I saw myself then like roast on the table Thanksgiving dinner feast for the sinner of course they're broken of course they don't know because time waits for no man man waits for time... Another journey to far-flung ages where machines roam free and lords are sages people commune in a peace distilled from forgotten wars from absence of pills I saw them congregate like ants in a colony working in unison for each other's grace and there was a feeling like waking from dreaming how timeless it all was where peace was manifest But just like that I was pulled from the panacea from the vision of victory from the dawn of destiny a saw pain as prophecy I saw pleasure as peasantry I saw passion as poetry I saw power as illusion I saw my struggles as choice I saw my misery as vice I saw my vices as voices voting down my ambitions undermining my plans I then strove for strength I then fought for freedom I then stood for salvation I found the purpose I'd always run from and it was then that I heard the voice of time It said you are my name and you shall wait no longer for you wait for no man you are man no more you are an agent of change and the future is yours!

Mountebanks and madmen And marvelous maidens Populate and pollute politics Which joss sticks cannot chase Or alleviate the electorate In its counter clockwise swirl Down its own bathroom drain. Only morals don’t ameliorate It only exacerbates, enervates Rather than eliminates the pain. The pain is felt by franklins, Never the nobles or magnates; They go on and make play dates With other multi-billionaires In debonair pied-a-terre lofts And scoff at the peasantry While exchanging pleasantries Over gold-laced desserts Thinking nobody gets hurt If they pilfer and pillage Far off village and town Tearing down and razing, With life grazing scorched earth. To the rich, nobody has worth; Voices that implore are muted And garbage-chuted in the press. Nothing to confess, the smile; A mile of porcelainized teeth Made more intense by pretense That importance is impotence In the face of extreme wealth When stealth cease efficacy And delicacy isn’t required. The moral judge is fired. A new wife is squired In hopes a son is sired To take over the empire.

MOUNTEBANKS AND MADMEN
When the King came down to the counting house and found all his money had gone he ranted on as only Kings can in the Kingly way for a year and a day, which was surprising but only in that it reminded me of the pea green boat and the ***** cat the loss of his dosh had nothing whatsoever to do with that. The King was now potless not a penny to spare he couldn't sell knighthoods or forested woods, he was as they say,'boracic lint' skint a pauper. His Daughter, the lady Jamille cried a lot for now she'd to deal with the peasantry and pleasantly so, she had to learn how to grow, cabbages,turnips and broad beans it seems she did well enough to feed the family with vegetables she could stuff tomatoes with mince because quince was 'orf' the menu she made ragout and that was a mess,spilled it all down her best lavender dress and she cried a lot more. Being poor was not good and being knightless and single was worse,she was sure she'd been cursed by some well versed old witch who was concocting a spell to leave her quite naked,not even a stitch to her name, I did mention her name was Jamille? yes Jamille learnt to steal and to lie and to cheat a normal occupation if you have to stand on your own two feet (in shoes which she stole) She got caught in the end and in the courts of the justice was ordered to mend her ways. The old King was ashamed but could hardly be blamed for this circumstance which caused him such grief it was down to the thief who stole all of his money and the same thief pretends now to be posh, well he would do with all of that dosh but we know different don't we. Clothes may make the man as much as any amount of money can but it does not make you a king and vice versa,

Title carried with no portion of duty A house doesn't define loyalty And neither does having money Make you royal. stained blood seeking for kinship Association beholding his fears Lifting him to levels of prince's No matter what you eat or drink Or change your name In their favour you never become Them rather a copy of them. Certain things come set Like a child born a prince While others are acquired By the use of books for knowledge Impostors soon slide to the floor Where they rose from Their faces forgetten And the backs stripped By their tales. Famous by tales, names and works Outstanding to borrow a position But when might is weighed Peasantry is the tell of origin. Behavior rocks the moments And the surrounding bows To you in respect Honour goes to the brave In hardwork You can change your looks Your speeches But not the background.

Begin the ****** battle Bouncing bullets between brain and vein Trenches dugged in heart Barbed wire surrounds damaged parts Roaring war rages on Pouring bloodshed in every artery Aorta keeps pumping New oxygenated soldiers But they are soon dead And their bodies flow back to the heart. All in name of the superpowers They do not care of the hours spent the shower of bullets used They simple oppose one another Desires to dispose the other. Left vs Right with no end in sight Each write their demands Compromising is not an option So the war continues on and the body suffers. You begin to forget about hope presume the cadet is missing in action No body to exhume though you must resume the war and worry about hope later If there is one. As you begin to feel the ware and tear. Noone is aware of the internal bruising Missiles cruises, capillaries blown to bits Military chivalry shivers in this civil war The cavalries only misery delivery is that of the dead peasantry. History's favourite victim. Without hope, the rope tempts Only preempts what's to come. It would take an uprising for peace to return. But there is no need for revolutionary force to win this war. As the organs are still functionary A beat, no matter how faint, is still a beat. and in the pulmonary vein, that train to the heart, the optimists are rewarded with an armistrice and peace breaks out like lil' flamin' poppies swaying in the breeze lining the battleground After all the damage done something pretty survived and bloomed in spring as a reminder That even in the lowest part of your history When war consumes you inhaling the fumes of desperation, humiliation and pain poisons your core leaving your thoughts sore and the rope serpent tempts All is not lost. Hope can still be seen can still break the surface and grow. It has always retained the same purpose. Just like when Pandora opened her box and let out all the misery in the world. One thing remained. Hope. There is always hope. Wars will end. Time passes Poppies grow. You gotta keep believing Stop deceiving yourself that leaving is best. You gotta have hope.

Primetime TV is asinine; Intellectual cyanide. Empty like a home in Palestine, And corrosive like an alkaline: It's the software for the poor. Subliminally shutting your doors Of perception, While they pump the town full of more -- More liquor stores And two cent ****** Deadbolted doors Adorned with gang graffiti Where the government ignores. So how can I sleep When all these kids never eat? And where's the sweeps For the bodies in the streets? They'll just pour more concrete Over our homes. Gentrified zones, Minorities in tow. High interest loans. Money's dried up, Foreclosure and drones Dropping tear gas on the protesters; Arresting anyone not in their homes Please tell me, how can I atone For the sins of a system That riddles the world with victims? This is the modern vista The ghetto is everywhere The aftermath of an affair Between the elite And their federal clientele. Predatory lending, Bailouts, drop outs, A culture without. Humanitarian drought. Where's the empathy? The love? The care and clemency? A solution for this endemic peasantry? Man, I wish I knew. I wish the numbers weren't true, And I wish the sunrise brought a nice view, Instead of billboards and condemned buildings, Abandoned homes, potholes, **** and trash: The ashes of a golden age long past.

Ballad for the Poor
I was trying to write about sex. it’s not like I was planning to be there. I had a cotton ball in my hand; I walked out. a bird circled high. I could hear my garage door surrender itself, flatly, to a low heaven. I was sad not to have the work of my arms behind me. sad god would not once be startled by an animal. the leg of my pants drooped from the mouth of my mailbox. gentle cloud, and I quote I thought of you in uniform and was copiously delivered.

on the day I became greatly enamored of my own peasantry
What are kings, if not selfish cruel creatures, thrones built of sacrifices, the blind lambs of faith. Their misdeeds, their whims being the guiding path. Will, paving the concrete path of others. But, though brow beaten, the knight cries. "To what shalt we be if not without the guidance of kings, kissed by the angels of the holy, blessed beneath the stars? What of the olive branch they provide? Of the prospering and the peasantry." Oh, how they cry within their armoured shells, suffocating under their oaths. Unspoken promises to their god, their king,

Kings,
I thought that I could walk on water and as the son of man I should have swam with big fish wish? I should have wished the World away stepped into another day of Saints and sinners losers winners who brought hope and misery to us the peasantry. Presently pleasantly surprised I find myself under clear blue skies on a desert dune whereon I rise and call out to the stars the sun the moon who if they hear at all will tell me all too soon just to whom it is I should pay homage. I reflect as the heat reflects up off the sand. Is this land fit only for those castles that would blow down in a storm? what form does man take when the breaking of the bread is taking bread from starving men? When? And then these thoughts that take me hostage are the homage I must pay To live and write and fight a ray of sunlight and in it wrapped tight another ray the simple way of it to sit and wander through these thoughts and I thought I could walk on water can't even stand on my own two feet.

The sky was dark, it was overcast When the hearse rolled into town, The people stopped in its passing, And stood, with their eyes cast down, Four black, high stepping, friesian mares Stepped proud, ahead of the hearse, While a man was following close behind But sat on his horse, reversed. His wrists were bound with a length of twine Were tethered behind his back, His eyes were well blindfolded, Under his black top hat, His leather boots had glistened and shone And they rode right up to the knee, There was something about his stately mien That said, ‘Aristocracy’. The horses were decked with ostrich plumes Fine harness and plaited tails, The coach shellacked in a shiny black And fitted with silver rails, The coffin lay on a satin tray In the hearse, was covered in lace, Inscribed with scrolls from the honour rolls Of a noble house, disgraced. And far at the rear of the slow cortege Was a line of women in black, Carrying jewellery fashioned in jet As black as the coach shellac. There wasn’t a tear amongst them all Nor a smile for the ruined man, The blindfold merciful, like a pall In front of his ruined clan. The hearse rolled into the cemetery And stopped by the gallows tree, A footman took off his blindfold then, ‘I hope that’s not meant for me!’ They dragged the coffin out of the hearse And the man looked once, then twice, ‘I’m not your common old peasant, sir, I’m the Lord of Mecklen Weiss.’ They dragged him ****** off his horse And lifted the coffin lid, ‘You’re the Lord of six square feet of earth, And the Lord of all you did!’ They ****** him into the coffin then Encased his struggling form, ‘He’ll have some time to consider now It were best he’d never been born!’ They lowered the coffin into the ground To the sound of shrieks and cries, But not one woman who watched it fall Had a need to dry her eyes. They say that some heard muffled cries At that grave for a week or more, But then, the peasantry always lies For they hold the Lords in awe. David Lewis Paget

The Burial

When the "Queen" becomes displeased, and issues an edict, the peasantry responds, else risk the vengeance of the "Queen's Sceptre."

"I am Thy Servant"(Thought for Everyday)
Never had I seen such beauty like yours, Such a worthwhile smile that shapes me like a file. Never had I seen such wit as yours, Such a rightful judge to the cruel misrule. Never had I seen such persona, with playfulness, reasonableness, uprightness, and inquisitiveness. Never had I seen perfection, the quintessential condensation of all great characterization, in balance with my imperfection. Yet it is only wise to appreciate you with my eyes, as my body is apprehended by the past, the future, the time, and the agony. The life I've experienced has taught me that love is futile, served with sadness and unhappiness and dolefulness with a side of temporary blissfulness. The idea of success impedes me from obtaining happiness, from settling for ‘less’ and portray a smile nevertheless. Warped by expectation, limitation, and exploitation, time isn't sufficient to provide you with my fixation, affectation, and ministration. Sustainability I cannot devise for when I witness your brown eyes, brown like earth, which with the kiss of rain and the seed of love can allow the flourish of life and euphoria never dreamed of. My heart accelerates uncontrollably, approaching me to a heart attack of which I'm never coming back. I suffocate as you leave me breathless, yet you suppress my stress and hopelessness. I so wish to warm your hand while wrapping around your arm. I so wish to embrace you in my arms and promise you safety for eternity. I so wish to feel your lips and your hips, never letting go until the last grasp of my fingertips. I so wish to stare at the stars to your side, while I admire your eyes, hoping that our love never dies. But being with you is an impossibility, in addition to an atrocity. Separated by time, a history, and personalities, war would form and never end in peace, For my peasantry doesn't deserve your royalty, For my filthiness shan't nudge your pureness, For my darkness can't cohere with your brightness. I'd be put to trial for the exile of your smile, the most intact of the wonders of the world that would now be purled. I wish I could love you but never will I deserve you, Never will we be together, for we would be an incompatible tether. I wish I could be with you but it is true that we are through, Never shall our past be repeated, for it won't be greeted, but rather maltreated. I wish I could but I've understood from our childhood where I stood and where I stand, Never will I know, if I were… with you, know where it would lead to.

He's rough around the edges So I keep my heart protected He says he loves me But I have second guesses He says "You're a Queen to me" Then why is he mistreating me ? In my eyes , hes a King to be I treat him like peasantry To see if he can handle me I know im hard to please Really I like the simple things I wish I could maintain my mentality Of being used to the casualties Or the fact that he's blind to me I would change drastically But he's a man to me So hopefully he can handle me To conquer my insanity
