I'm having tea with Life, And his band of Disappointments. They dine at my expense, And they're a hungry bunch of guests. Tea turned into Supper, Where the Disappointments drank My finest wine, And Life wiped his cruel mouth On my tablecloth. You can't have supper without dessert, So they ate up more of my Food for thought. And if you stay for dessert, You may as well spend the night. So they did And burgled my pantry of hopes For a midnight snack. One night was lovely, So Life cackled, "Why not stay two?" And two turned to a week, And a week turned into My sickeningly merry guests Moving into my dreams, And inviting in Doubt, To live with them too, And of course Pay no rent. So I watch my chaotic household Of a skull, Where Life has made himself at home And brought all of his friends. I stare dully at my ruined Dining room of thought, Which they have dominated. And look wearily for a spare idea In my raided cupboards. I've never been one To evict friends, So I suppose they're here to stay. But learn a lesson from me, And don't ever Have Life over for tea.

Tea With Life
I am but a driftwood All but forgotten from whence I came A place where once had a name A time when all was good I am but a driftwood Set myself adrift Currents they lift Bearing their latent gifts I move as they shift I'd protest if only I could I am but a driftwood Over a body so vast Over wrecks with broken masts Spiteful winds howl with angered gusts An eternity that would last Eroding my integrity like it should I am but a driftwood Know not of where I'm headed Render me hopeful but will me jaded Pillaged and plundered Looted and raided Swallowed and spat out, ocean's food I am but a driftwood Lost and forlorn out at sea Awaiting land that would receive me Take me in like I'm meant to be Give me your sand, bury me completely Keep me in the safety of your hood I am but a driftwood I remember the place from whence I came A faded dream with a name Still drifting away from all that's good

Driftwood
I was in a darkness of my own Within a night I had not known I chose to stumble in my pace With all hope of light misplaced On my course a twinkle caught my eye A lonely star in the sky above Getting ever brighter as I drew nigh Then did I see the truth thereof It was a myriad in mutiny A constellation that raided the night Luminous in its beauty A radiance which compelled my sight I was in a darkness of my own Overcome by a light unknown That eased my path in grace And all lost hope replaced It reclined in the cosmos Calling out to me Seeming within reach almost Then I blurred back to reality A marvel that pulled my soul By more than figure of speech To be part of a whole My flesh could never reach How daunting a brilliance I longed for though farfetched My heart need travel a distance Fear served only to stretch It held my tarrying gaze For only a moment more Then left me in a daze Stealing that which I adore I again stumble in my pace Having lost my stars in space Returned to a state I now bemoan I am in a darkness of my own.

Constellation Beyond Reach
by Desmond Makatu, Your visits are unpredictable. like a ghost, you're invisible. The attacks are inevitable. You come like a thief at night. You seize me day and night. "Epilepsy: an inevitable thief" Cruelty unrestricted to age. Victimising even toddlers. Unrestricted to ethnic groups. My life has time gaps. Gaps, like discrete graphs. Cracks depict thin line between life and death. Grace bridges the gaps and life prevails over death. Seizures still haunt me like a demonic wrath. "Epilepsy: an inevitable thief" Attacks are brief, bruises lasts forever. You offer questions only God can answer. Quest for answers is like probing for cure of Cancer. Death seemed to be the answer but God thought otherwise. First seizure shook like multiple earthquakes. Followed by a pool of darkness. woke up confused, crowd's ****** expressions said a thousand words. Migraines raided my head, exposed to enormous pressure. Officially baptised by wrath of seizures. "Epilepsy: an inevitable thief" You're a physical and psychological culprit. Like a Yoyo, you take me into a roller-coaster of emotions. Aftermaths of your theft are etched in my mind as if they’re on stones. Behind my “poker face” lies devastating pains than physicals seen by the  crowd. "Epilepsy: an inevitable thief" Watch video on YouTube. https://youtu.be/VggXerYLOHY

Epilepsy: an inevitable thief
Slumming. Slumming around downtown. Slumming around downtown St. Paul. A broke high school student. A broke student with perpetual down time. A broken down senior student letting go of time. Slumming. Slumming down to Raspberry. Slumming down to Raspberry Island. Walking across the Mississippi River. The bridge had been raided. Marching. Marching down teal and raspberry stairs. Icycle nose hairs. Seeing my breath as my chest shivers. I found my heart trapped under the solid river. Teenagers ******** about freshmen that got the bridge raided, Teenagers ******** about artists they've always hated and artists ******** about things they've created. Underagers slowly letting out smoke. Underagers letting out what keeps their lungs beating. Underagers slowly letting out steam, cheating. Me. letting out smoke that came from the ice. Smoke of below zero temperature, freezing my insides. Mindless. Mindlessly walking. Mindlessly walking through endless skyways. Mindless. Mindlessly talking. Mindlessly talking about things I don't remember. Until we've arrived at We-Be-Smokin'. Huddling. Huddling in a group. Admiring the art that claimed the spot before we did. Scuttling. Feet scuttling. Feet scuttling in place to outrun the cold. Reminiscing of months before when I was sitting alone in Starbucks with my venti white chocolate mocha listening to crazy George yell at his imaginary wife. Not being bothered. Not being cold.

look me in the eye and tell me that you love me or was it all a sad story that you unconsciously believed while you raided the fridge and fornicated wildly too late is not really an acceptable position and later on is usually an example of indecision and sometimes specimens reject their predicaments especially if they are eventually going to be your dinner i am sure that i am here to usher in a new authority resurrected like a phoenix i must be stronger than before so even if forever is often equivalent to never and september is the month of seven (or was it nine) serpents that are to be reborn in the dawn of Time's obsidian as our minds have spent oblivion in the forges of turgidly engorged shores, torn from their former continents as forms are always gripped in hands who choose intolerance  take administrators, lawyers, bureaucrats and clerks; as examples of this; par excellence

too late for dinner
When the incendiaries lit the sky A face smiled its divine calligraphy: It was Helen crowned with Troy's debris. Her unmatchable mouth in the roof Of blood moved in speech like the home of love, Hanging its moon of reproof: 'My kiss blots history out. My landslide legend has forgotten A thousand thousand bones rotting; 'Under the guilty sea The ships lie; but accuracy Has been seduced by me.' Her smile sailed indiscriminately Among the squadrons of death majestically And was reflected on the sea. 'The armless Venus carried Pompei's tears Better than the raided years Or the cold dances of chameleon stars.' Then faded. But the rain Like lovers' seeds that fall in vain, Warned me of my sin.

Love In Wartime
(for Nietzche, who cowers behind art.) The world calls the conquered ****** to remember that the sun every night yearns to rise, to rise, to rise when there is no guarantee, no promise, no sure thing. Yet still it yearns to rise, to rise, to rise. The world called Canaanites ****** while they traded and toiled along the shores of land promised to the aged heretic of Sumer, whose wife could give only love. The world called Hebrews ****** while they raised Pharoah tombs Provided respite from the eastern chariots Stubborn in refusal of the living gods Drinking only Eloheim's bitter grape That provides brief respite from his decrees When delving deep in one's cups. The world called Britons ****** When flogged Boudicea fought and fought and finally fell To Roman spear and gladius When Angles and Saxons raided then stayed When Cromwell climbed the pale cliffs The world called the Iberians, Gauls and Teutons ****** when Caesar crossed the Rubicon Pax Romana for Citizens born Land for the wealthy, voting rights too Taxes and tithes from their toil. The world called the Khoikhoi of South Africa ****** From the VOC to fatal Apartheid Up rose a man The heart of the land A man named Nelson Mandela. The world called the Viet Minh ****** from Can Vong to Dien Bien Phu 'till they slogged howitzers above to reign Napoleonic terror below. And to them it was just The American War After the world called them Vietnamese. The world calls the conquered ****** to remember that the sun every day yearns to rise, to rise, to rise When there is no guarantee, no promise, no sure thing yet still it yearns to rise, to rise, to rise 'though it never watches its own rising undoing raiment of fading embers swimming naked in the royal blue bathing all with daily newborn naked glory chasing the celestial tidal tease that seems to wander where it please reminding that all are born free but can grow into ignorance and be called ****** Seek truths that hold in unity; that provide nourishment beneath the lash allowing one to rise, to rise, to rise.

I built a home for you, out of me, when the bricks break it is because I have been raided. The blue sky's not even immune to cloudbursts the humid air lifts to resemble some form of heartbreak. Call it a mushroom cloud, I go off almost nuclear. The truth loves me enough to reveal itself the truth loves me even when you do not. I've decorated the staircase with it and discovered rope-burn, calluses like children wanting you to just watch what they can do watch a ceremony. What fathers create. I've padded its feet with snow, the whole summer leaks with December and my kneecaps are rotting wood. Creaking using garland as a noose you know when I walk and when I sit, the truth cannot stand for not knowing. I've not let it lay down either, this ****** affair. My walls stay white and unheard of, untouched yours are only the cream of glue, I should have kept the doorway shut and tied to you with a string. Not even the truth can dissolve over a lie (but I can, I can, I). But when God smells fear, he makes it happen and God can be a man, a woman, a lover.

mushroom cloud
Suffering from cabin fever, I raided my cache of end-time sardines and went slipping and sliding down to the dock to feed the near-shore birds. One lone Repelican sat upon a bollard by the boat launch seeming frozen to the spot.  He was looking pretty grimm. Taking pity on this cold, hungry waterbird former Marine-turned-Feeb, and apparently not stuck on I-275, this kindhearted Democrab was soon out of end-time sardines. Telling him that I was sardine-poor but had one question I would like to ask concerning an investigation into questionable publicly financed bollard homesteading practices, the repugnant Repelican was not happy with me and stuck his long bill in my face while threatening to break me in half (like a boy) and throw me off of the effing dock before flapping away in a huff. He called me later and asked to do lunch next week. Sardines on him. r. ~  29Jan14

The Ugly Repelican and the Benevolent Democrab
These lines experimental but elemental to your mental, My creativity, Will never submit to the minimal, Isotopes subliminal penetrating the simple, Similes send criminals to infiltrate your biochemicals, Infected stanzas with stacked syntaxes sickness, My subconscious semiautomatic and stimulated, Formulate semblances of Leviathan illuminated, It's a tragedy my soul's has become a victim of gravity, Now my temples been raided, My nirvana's disseminated, And I've contemplated annihilation of self, Picturing my end as a senile senior citizen, With no one by my side, My mind can't complete a sentiment, Remembering has become my source of a smile, But it's making me even more curious to taste the end of this projectile,

according to King Nothing, father’s day phone calls are restricted… i live in a world where foot-rest make better supports, and broken beer bottles fight the most perverts away. i’ve been homeless three times, and "abortion" was crudely drawn on my forehead. my love for Frankenstein’s monster knows no bounds. the whole apartment was gutted of its copper two years after that. the ‘first woman on Mars’ dream he had was sold for scrap; threw out half of my books, called me the reject. a childhood tomb, raided… the Queen was pleased. she doesn’t believe in aliens, and most stars are dead according to light-years anyway.

Imagine a world, Where love is pollution. If there's a problem, Hate’s the solution. Imagine a world, Where dreams are faded, Passion is destroyed, Souls are raided. Imagine a world, Where souls never meet, Attraction means nothing, Only their needs. Imagine a world, Where hope is the loser, Pride is the victor, Later is sooner. Imagine a world, Where creativity is nothing, Useless unless it, Turns people to money. Imagine a world, Where eyes never meet, Love is forever lost, Souls never bring. Imagine a world, Where no is forever, Affections change, As much as the weather. Imagine a world, Where money’s everything, Nobody's sharing, Everyone's keeping. Imagine a world, Where nature's extinct, Nobody's heard of, A bird's feathered wings.

Imagine a World Pt. 2
I am the person who pays taxes, Therefore I am not rich or a major corporation. I am the person you send to war And then come home to an ungrateful nation. I am the worker who paid for years To a fund you raided, then want to destroy. I am the gay or black or disabled person You decided it was unacceptable to employ. I am the mother of children Who can’t feed her children due to inflation The grown child who cannot rent Because I am seen as an abomination. I am the person you claim is equal But I am also the person you chose to ignore Because I don’t live the way you say You don’t want me in your neighborhood any more. I am the person whose skin is too dark So, you decided I am not a human being. I am the person starving in the street The one you manage to keep from seeing. I am the person who hates war And that you keep on creating more death. I am the person who denies you grace With all the energy I have until my last breath.

WHO AM I NOW?
Chaos on earth, chaos among man, when the devil emerged, and hatched an evil plan. Beelzebub came from the ground and, Beelzebub raided the towns and, Beelzebub destroyed all around him, and Beelzebub killed all the townsmen. He marched across the land, destroying all the cities, killing all of man, with no remorse, no pity. Beelzebub came from the ground and, Beelzebub raided the towns and, Beelzebub destroyed all around him, and Beelzebub killed all the townsmen. Hell is on earth, hell is in the sky. Everyone who lives, eventually will die. Beelzebub came from the ground and, Beelzebub raided the towns and, Beelzebub destroyed all around him, and Beelzebub killed all the townsmen.

SHAME!!! SHAME!!! SHAME!!!! It’s a huge shame on the men who think its their place to strip women naked. Shamelessly, they quote the bible, “it’s the temple so it should not be displayed” If that is the case, why didn’t the “believers” who were present take a leso or kikoi to the lady to cover the temple? Instead you strip her??? You are the most sinful of them all and you deserve to have been thrown at the first stone. SHAME SHAME SHAME!!! Shame on the men who think that just because you show some skin, you need a touch. Dressing is done for whatever reason that is personal to a soul. No dressing is right or wrong. It’s a shame how ignorance has raided our society and posed as norms and stupid absurd “morals” How about we pull your trousers down when you sag them to the lowest place your belt can find? Huh? SHAME SHAME SHAME!!! Shame on the men who live in the stone age era of blaming the appearance of women as a push for *** Why not long for the ones you see on the soaps, or movies or all??? Why not dress your women in whatever you think  looks appealing and only you, could strip them when you get home for your own pleasures? SHAME SHAME SHAME!!! Shame on the men who have brought women to the level of slavery! Could this be insecurity making your head full?? Do women now do better than you? Yes! Do they stand for themselves without you or even better than you? YES! Do they have a voice? YES!! So SHAME on you when you let your face be seen on the camera stripping a woman and shamelessly putting your fingers inside her privates. SHAME on you for stripping a woman her integrity and dignity and letting the whole world know. Your Education was a Fail!!! I recommend you go back to school and learn some more. This is a sign of IDLENESS, DEBAUTCHERY and POSSESED IDEOLOGY of SADISM!!! Its is DEVILISH! Who is our society raising? Fathers or Defilers? REMEMBER that this person, next time, This, could be your sister, Your mother Or your wife!! SHAME! SHAME!! SHAME!!! ©TheUnspoken

I see a monster It is eating spaghetti It is a good thing I'm glad that it does Not eat me or my brother He likes spaghetti We asked him his name And he grumbled intensely, "I'm Mr. Monster!" He always came in After a quarter past ten And raided our fridge. Frederiksburgville Town Didn't usually have monsters But they had pasta And so the monster Told the little children things About from where it came And it sang a song That was very short and long And it went like this: Gobbledegook gobbledeedee Fricasha bulungo tirimasu wings! The children sat stunned It was a horrible song You can't sing along.
