"profanity" poems
Lost is the African pride Gone are those who could ride the tide Left are those who drown beneath the wave Prone to dehumanization because of greed I see burning buildings Mutilated bodies Escalating violence And social unrest Lost is the Spirit of Ubuntu Left is a society deprived of its integrity Selfishness and poverty is at the core of our society Is the real Africa lost to antiquity? Crime is rife as people strive for a decent life. A decent life earned through decadence Should we stone foreigners because the government is failing to provide employment? Or should we burn down buildings so that our voices can be heard? I am ashamed of the profanity we breed It’s a calamity for us to be xenophobic It’s a taboo for us to call Africans foreigners in their motherland. It’s not who they are. It’s not who we are It’s not who you are It’s not who I am Together we are the Africa that has survived slave trade The Africa that has survived apartheid The Africa that has survived colonization The Africa that is surviving westernization We don’t fight for employment We create employment We don’t breed resentment We translate sentiments Let us evoke the Spirit of Ubuntu And let’s behave like men not animals Let us ignite the Spirit of Ubuntu And let’s stand like men immortal The Spirit of Ubuntu is what separates us from animals Terrorism shouldn’t exist in Africa It’s a disgrace for us to be unethical Xenophobia shouldn’t be heard in Africa Animosity is not our portion

I wished to explore all parts of you, The gentle sway of your torso The ***** words falling from your lips I was inspired by your movement, The profanity It was a romance between millennials, One fueled by intoxication and lust Sparked by passion Ignited by jealousy We might even share words, Stories of our past Hopes for the future But they'll always be just that These moments won't last Youth and spontaneity comes with a price A price we must pay, And a love we must sacrifice.

Hell Grayhound Bus Ride
No option, but to be perceived Violent, Aggressive, Irrational Identity becoming an other Words of malice, they mystify Words of ignorance, they vilify Subverting consciousness and articulation Our identities, fighting to be Autonomous landscapes Hoping in anticipation for liberation No real notion of we or me Implicating it's inhuman to be foreign When they represent as much of we and me Scandalizing alternative identities as subversive Advancing erasures in favor of hegemony Propaganda favoring what is most white Amelioration for the obliteration of cunning identity? No more cooperation, ****** the euphemisms That cover up, and help justify marginalization Our identities, fighting to be Autonomous landscapes Hoping in anticipation for liberation Time to **** ****** massacre eurocentric ideology We preach no violence, being not them, just we But cannot request to be free, must tear it out by force Eurocentric ideological pandemic inhabiting, inhibiting the soul of mankind Unthinkable abomination concealed in the veil of appropriated minds Necessitating exorcism for the incarcerated conscious mind When we completely violate mandates of eurocentric ideology When only we appropriate our own identity When we all nullify the color of our skin As profanity or inadequacy Our identities, fighting to be Autonomous landscapes Hoping in anticipation for liberation Will be awaiting purgation from alienation

Ideological Pandemic (Abducting Identity)
I could fill my hands with wishes. Vials of fairy dust tucked deep in my pocket. one day, I might need it. But that day I think may never come. Prayers whispered on red stained lips, but they drop sincerely, with to much heart. Silence says to much in ways I can't comprehend. Wind says that it can take me to a place, where shadows can't haunt me. Sorrow can't sit on my door step, reminding me of things that want to consume to much of me. Monsters grab me in the night. Profanity and ****** don't mix well with whiskey. My stomach is always twisted in knots of strangled butterflies. I could be a runaway. Just another face on a milk carton, or those cluttered bulletin boards at Walmart. I fade away so easily, flowers in my hair and feet bare, sunshine warming my face.

Runaway
In the hour of my greatest need, When my rage has been spent, And my selfishness, Profanity, Lovelessness, Anger, Lying, Cheating, Lawlessness, Single mindedness, And my quest, in all the wrong ways, for love, Stands alone. When the darkness is my greatest achievement, Still, I AM FORGIVEN. I AM LOVED. This is senseless to me. It belies comprehension. It demands exploration. And after all, Remains senseless and incomprehensible Except for the words I hear As I lay wounded and trodden upon By my own sin, "Welcome home. Be at rest."

Welcome Home
To even commence to define how profoundly I fell in love with you, I would need the capacity of a thousand-page manuscript written in the most romantic idiom. Each, and every retention of us is stowed into the back of my conscious, and concealed deep into my heart. Every beautiful memory plays through my head like soft music. I would say my heart is immovable.  There are days that I try to sojourn the thoughts of you, but its intolerable for me to do so. I am so engulfed in your perfection. I do not think there has been a single day that you have escaped my thoughts. I can feel your presence with me if I ponder our memories deeply enough. Your presence weighs heavily in my heart. It is as if part of your soul occupies its crevasses, and fills my cracks. Your eyes are echoes of a hundred distant galaxies no man has ever revealed. Vast windows that reflect the constellations. My heart is certain the universe resides in them. As I begin to study your face, I feel like nothing but love can exist. Your porcelain perfection never ceases to weaken me. You weaken me with love, trust, and desire. Like the finest specimen created by the hands of Gods. As I anticipate the connotation of love, the implication is “you”. Even if the fire for what you feel for me dies, I do not reason the passion I have for you will ever dim. I do not begin to recollect if I had ever felt this susceptible. I let this passion be valued like the rarest stone. I would give up the entire world if it meant I could have you in my life endlessly. Your happiness is of grave importance to me, when I study your smile, I can overlook the darkness of this decaying reality.    Every heartbeat of time my mouth declares three unpretentious words. “I love you”. I say it like an invocation. Not one moment did my tongue express profanity against these golden words of poetry. I love you. “ I Love You” . And solitarily just you.   I wallow in my own sorrows at the thought of the culmination, when we shall one day part at death's hand. For I deeply distinguish that you love me equally, and this brings vast pleasure to my temperament. I sense security in your encirclement, your heart is my home. My heart qualms of my fragile weakness that I consume when I dream of you. You make me susceptible to the sickness of love. If love was a poem, you would be the title.

******* child born from ***** parents ***** female dog, wolf, etc. Men are called ******** and women are called ******* So with that in mind- I’ll put this into verse and rhyme. There was a ******* named Bill, who would walk His ***** named Jill. Now she would love to lay or play And this would go on every day. Then when his ***** would go into heat He would give his ***** a treat. He would allow her to put her scent all over town So that the others would know that she’s around. Now Bill being a fatherless child- would sit around and laugh awhile. (With the definition of these words being known)    I must ask this! Why would you put your ***** on the street? When there are so many others she’s bound to meet. She will leave you in a flash, because she doesn’t need Anyone to wipe her *** there has to be a line of respect don't you know this yet ? YOU are fatherless and what are you about to do Is creating a litter just like you. So why do we use these words as profanity? That is not the way it was meant to be! HA HA     ENJOY YOUR DAY

misuse of words
Would a blue ballpen without ink just lie To die, like the children of our past needs, The mouths of their thinning souls leeching Our piety, our profanity, our tendency to build society Off faces and masks,                               Individual fragments of ourselves. Would one give a thousand pesos to he who smears Windshields with soap to take a few coins hostage Or to she who exhibits a gaunt infant, an offspring Of want, not wanted, the wear and tear of a rough World manifest on emaciating juvenile skin. Would one Give a thousand?                               Would one commit a kiss? When mere change can buy a pen with its full blood, What then is the worth of the bleeding, the bearded Blind on the somber sidewalks of forgetfulness where Without ink, it ceases to be blue, and unable to write,             He has no need for a pen. The world is writing his story,             He is only there to punctuate with his blood.

Utility and Humanity
Her long symbolic hair caressing her body Her torn jeans representing her dignity Sentimental to the teen rotted inside a lifetime ago Tears making her smile Her pink apple suit case was confiding Hiding in a storm, where rocks were thrown Bruises and scars across her knees Killing the young girl No longer innocent eyed She's a a straggler Structure tried She runs away searching Fresh start is an opportunity topped off with profanity Odds pushing her down A constant, as the sun raises its eyebrows Her cards she never questioned there quality As he touched her fingers She has one chance Contemplative perseverance

Not too tall -- Don't want him towering over me Looking down on me Humiliating me In more ways than one. Eyes should be dark -- Not pale. Don't want them Cold, empty, icy Don't need A shark-like gaze To chill me to the bone. Not too large -- Don't need him to tell me Just how big and strong and intimidating he is Can't have him saying Outright or otherwise That he could hold me Or anyone else down. What else are arms for? Not too crude -- In fact, I just might want him to talk Like a woman. Don't get me wrong -- My vocabulary is colorful enough. It would be hypocritical to rule out profanity. But, as soon as you call me or her or him or this or that 'BITCH' The bile will surely be climbing my throat. Not too proud -- Yes, confidence is attractive But conceit is certainly no match. I don't care if he thinks he looks good -- I will most likely agree that he does -- But one who can not admit to his mistakes Let alone answer for them Is a frightening caricature of humanity. I am so flawed, love But my flaws are not the cause of yours. Not too dense -- Anyone who reads this Male, female, or other And calls me a 'man hater' Or asks what I would think of a man If he wrote something like this about a woman Should run along For that is not what I'm saying Not at all. I know what I deserve And it's just what everyone else should get. I just believe That 'do unto others' Should not die Once the ring is on the finger Or the name is on the dotted line. I just believe That 'love' should not be bastardized To mean an unconditional, everlasting loop of 'Whatever you want Honey.' Only give what you'd want to get Only take what you know you need No matter the giver. Bestow and accept nothing less And as much more As you can manage. Believe me I'll keep doing the same No matter what you say.

I do not swear because I am A sweet and sober guy; I cannot vent a single **** However hard I try. And in viruperative way, Though I recall it well, I never, never, never say A naughty word like hell. To rouse my wrath you need not try, I'm milder than a lamb; However you may rile me I Refuse to say: ****** In circumstances fury-fraught My tongue is always civil, And though you goad me I will not Consign you to the divvle. An no, I never, never swear; Profanity don't pay; To cuss won't get you anywhere, (And neither will to pray.) And so all blasphemy I stem. When milk of kindness curds: But though I never utter them - Gosh! how I know the words.

Anti-Profanity
Spriralling down profanity Standing on the cliff of blasphemy She looked for angels inside of demons Where God's decree was nowhere to be found She had faith in what she saw Preachers and believers Insolence and deciept Their words of judgement reaching out to cage her in Threatening punishment Imploring her to forgiveness God, there is sacrilege This world is rampant with hypocrites Her heart is full of your love Yet desires the forbidden The unsanctioned It harms not a soul, not even her own But holds her happiness down the one path That strays just a little from the rules God, who loves the impious preachers and believers The patient and forgiving Can these two paths not become one? Where the blood in her veins runs by His decree Every breath she takes is with His grace

Preachers and Believers
My Lucifer, unwitting Muse, dog-eared Vonnegut, afrobeatnik third eye, howls escaping from your headphones, wailing about secrets, about infidelity, about analyzing life until there ain’t nothin’ left. Then you shuffle by in your black and white Adidas, hair in twists, wearing the striped sweater of nihilistic intent, quoting the rants of Holden Caulfield in your blog like you never didn’t know him. I never asked to know you, to want who I can’t have when I can’t even love myself. And every fiber Of my being yearns for reciprocation. What is there to return? What is there to feel, you meditate on truth, fallen angel in the parlor of rebellion, blasphemous goodbye, bright and morning star simpering like crickets in the palms of daybreak. Your musicality radiates from subway chatter and overheard profanity down El Camino Real. I take in your ballad at my post office mailbox, in the abandoned echoes of daydream monologues. You’re a philosopher, exploring theory of mind, a cartographer, mapping the labyrinth of your deepest desires. Tell me again about desires, demonstrations of divine sadism. Tell me about human empathy, the animated faces of wordless expression, the metaphysics of free will, my beginning and my end, alpha and omega, my fortress in the land of chic. Blasphemous hustler, let your idealism simmer, your wit, your mojo, I come to you an amateur, a neophyte, a lowly scab in the strike against ignorance. Give me my melody, my song, my one-hit-wonder of all that is cliché and unknown. But I can’t be the other woman, your girlfriend, your aspiring Playboy bunny only 10-bucks-a-throw. Your highness-who-yells- his-ideas-into-the-ears-of-echoes, your every quirk spellbinds me. Each day I wake to your entourage vibrato. I am held captive by your brooding stare, empress of liberal doves. You visit in my dreams when the sky is a force of darkness viewing light through peepholes, your flaws an aphrodisiac, a love drug, a fast hit in the basement from the ecstasy of words.

Give me my melody, my song, my one-hit-wonder of all that is cliché and unknown. But I can’t be the other woman, your girlfriend, your aspiring Playboy bunny only 10-bucks-a-throw. Your highness-who-yells- his-ideas-into-the-ears-of-echoes, your every quirk spellbinds me. Each day I wake to your entourage vibrato. I am held captive by your brooding stare, empress of liberal doves. You visit in my dreams when the sky is a force of darkness viewing light through peepholes, your flaws an aphrodisiac, a love drug, a fast hit in the basement from the ecstasy of words.

You Are untamed Reckless blood and wit intertwined A twisted, brazen
 mind. Your mind Is so clearly different It leaps and soars, so acrobatic And your thoughts appear to me so hazy and enigmatic Your mind is simply not pragmatic Yet your perception knows no bounds. You have thoughts that come close to insanity That sometimes flow in the form of profanity.    Your spirit Is either very high or very low Up and down, to and fro There is no in between for you Some say you are stupidly crazy The dull ones say that, the ones too lazy To see beyond the rugged surface. The subdued and vapid ones Will never understand the magnetism Of your sweet, exquisite devilry. On your face you often wear A fierce and restless stare A wan, discontented expression As though you're always awaiting Something bigger, Something better. You Are fluid, swaying fire And I will never tire Of watching you burn I can see you brain boil and churn As it reels into into areas of
 madness and chaos. Your psyche Is an endless field of dark reverie, Of fear and vagary. I know your night terrors Your savage dreams of death Screams and bated breath Unutterable visions The grotesque world of horror thats spins itself out And dribbles into your drawings All those creatures, skeletons gnashing and clawing... You Are gentle and thoughtful Yet you are terrified Of this dark thing that sleeps within you. Your eyes - they’re stunning They’re tempestuous, Wild, like some fierce animal peering out of a rusted cage Oh, your eyes They are something beautiful, but annihilating Like Autumn crocus flowers, innocently poisonous Lids splaying delicately like its violet leaves. You are tall and strong And uncontrollable, And your smile Is the biggest paradox I've ever encountered Childlike And fatal. You are not A creature of the commonplace You are not a slave of the ordinary You are not a mindless drudge of the mundane You are free. Or bewitched, what's the difference

**In the shadow of Everest people are dying Crushed in a chaos embirthed from beneath, Emerged as destructor of temple and Taos, Emerged as an innocent killer... bequeathed. History crumbles as heavens roar mightily Ghorka is dead in an avalanche of rock, Beggars and potentates crushed  in the brickfall Dharahara’s fall leaves men gaping in shock. Shuddering mountains in avalanche of free fall Wails of the stricken as quaking defiles, Gold topped pagodas and statue of ancients, Sculpture of lions now a rubble in piles. Khathmandu in the clasp of calamity Nightmarish forces arisen from deep, Grasping the earth in their grip of profanity Monstrously tearing the bedrock from sleep. A techtonic ****** of Asia by India Nepal’s Himalayas ****** to the sky, Inconsequential, this plight of humanity Nature proceeds as poor Nepalese die.** M. ANZAC Day 25 April 2015

In the Shadow of Everest
From freedom and serenity - forced back, Within a heavy frame, I twist and turn. Surrounded by darkness - sunlight lacks Through peaceful ears, an alarm clock burns. Feeling like someone once deceased, I ****** myself from my tranquil sleep... Stumbling to the kitchen, eyes half open, I prepare my meal in a weary daze. I will not dread today - I'm hoping, As I race through traffic in my malaise. Drinking in my last few moments, I do what I must, but never condone it... My interior seething from stress filled meetings, These rules defeating - my lifeblood fleeting, A blunt insanity from this calamity, Through censored profanity, I scream "barbarity!" Beneath the boots of automatic overlords, We're trapped together - anxious and bored... Our heads hang, our eyes bleed Their talking styles belie their greed. Our mouths move - connection we seek, But we find our language strange and oblique. Back home, on my couch, lethargic and pale, Hypnotized by TV, my dreams turning stale… A once free spirit, now a mindless drone - My sense of identity is what they dethrone. I assure myself, my soul will endure, Friday at five, I’m told is the cure. But, revolution’s muscle beats in my chest! So, a simple existence, I imagine, my best. This is my strife - I hate this way of life! Words can’t explain the disdain in my veins. So, I have no choice, but to use my voice, To tell you all to your face, there’s no time to waste! Everyday, I pickup my pen and face the end - To light the fire, that from ashes, we’ll ascend...

Profanity profanity there's nothing like profanity A cheeky T@@@ a silly cow we just can't stop them coming out A quick F@@@ off, a ***** yourself Improves the mood like nothing else But wait! It's really better still when alcohol helps the thrill A sentence made of many c@@@ and f@@@s That grammar simply can't construct ! But you my friend have drunk tourettes You swear and curse amongst the best The more you drink the more you cuss You really are a social plus! In front of kids and grannys too You just cant stop your verbal puke I've learnt words in groups I can't describe Your mouth shouts out in awe and pride You simply are an ignorant pig Who needs carbolic in your grid!

Drunken tourettes
I wish to get this out in the open, I wish to clarify something I must confess something to those who care about my writing: My sense of humour is... well... If you know me in person, you know my sense of humour or what could be errantly said to be a sense of humour. I draw heavily upon: facetiousness, mythic interpretation, sarcasm, satire, excessive formality, irony, wordplay, a somewhat predisposed tendency towards not taking most things entirely seriously even and almost especially when I am 'supposed to', resorting to profanity on rare occasions, and quite simply and succinctly a ****** up world perspective* amassed over many years of living in this society and from living with my late, similarly minded, brutally honest alcoholic Father, in this society, nonetheless, who in fact was at least *quite ******* directly* responsible for my aforementioned errant sense of humour. If you knew him, you might say that I'm a "chip off the ol' block" in some ways, but I know I'm quite ******* deviant from it in others. So, to those of you who simply know of my existence via this digital outlet/public-sketchpad for my new-found passion of writing down every ******* thing I think it worthwhile to ponder again later, or perhaps even share with similarly minded, or at least accepting people; I wish to convey my deepest and most sincere pity, not in that it is anything that was your doing, just in that you can't possibly know my sense of humour and tasteless applications of irony and satire, and as such; I've probably offended some people. However, for some anomalous reason, some of you seem to like this stuff So I'm going to keep it up. If you read this: thank you, but if you did not, then **** you; however, if you didn't initially read this but were later directed to it by me or by some other personage, fictional or real, or for some other reason happened across it, I rescind the aforementioned **** you" in light of conveying my deepest and most sincere "Thank you for putting up with my weird-ass ******** I appreciate anyone who finds any value in my works. I also appreciate the improbable nature of anyone liking my brain-vomit. I love creating and I love sharing my creations, so when that all works out, I'm ******* fit as a fiddle; Giddy as a schoolgirl on Prozac; Happier than a young necrophiliac who achieves his boyhood ambition of becoming coroner.

"Perfection" Should be a profanity Consigned to myth We are taught to aspire To live a life That doesn't exist. Glossy paper And saturated colour Feeds us a fiction Force asphyxiation Because you will live average Statistically And will not become The thing of dreams Staring out of magazines.

Perfection
Warning: Bleeped out profanity. Read at your own risk I would call you "dad" But I would be ashamed to do so You cannot stand up for anyone Fooled into submission by her That f·cking Satanic b·tch Who is more irresponsible than I I am ashamed you ever bed with her I watch your offspring, wishing to be dead Now I love your children They even call me "Mama" Isn't that alarming? When they confuse their birthgiver with their sister? But what would I know I'm just a young girl I don't know anything, says you You overprotect me anyhow As soon as I can leave, I'll be gone without a trace Living with my mother, the woman that you hate That you talk sh·t about, while I am within hearing range Then act like nothing happened, do you think I am a bafoon? At least I have the ****** courage To tell someone to f·ck off I'm glad I'm nothing like you So, just f·ck off
