They brought them
from the hollar
to the barge
to the field ~
into the wallows
in prayer
skinny little pinkers
cropped by ivory gates
buzzed with hot wire
hooked on bug worm
whistling dixie
around scrummers
and **** pen

peckers squawk
down eden lane
(nipping at jean lint
and fraystring)
deep in the hollows
a mad crow
(with steady tap)
the snouts high
on grunters
and squealers
stomping past
the feather pack

folded fingers
on the gatekeeper
(an engineer by
trade they'd say)
pigtails and
slack line
down the dusty lane
a snap of the jawbone
and lawn chairs settle
(facing north)
the bold script
and chimes
uneasy

I’m nothing coming through.
A ******, a let down.
I’m a plan turned mistake.
I slipped out into a world to be forgotten in it.
Cold, slimy, smelly, and stupid.

I’m the putty they use to fill the gaps of history.
The time between now and when.
A time where something, anything happens.
Walk on me, I’m here to move you on.

It feels as though we’re nearing the end.
Centuries before, fate was branded.
In its burned flesh we made our mark.
It’s come time to slaughter.
But we’ll be the squealers.

I’m coming through into nothing.
A mother abused by her young.
******* dry and sagged from their greed.
Fat, weak, and stupid now from gluttony.
Next winter will bring their snuffing.

So pull me out.
This pink portal.
Into somewhere I belong.
The nowhere we are right now.
The nothing we’re going to be.
Medusa Strangles May 2014
From the seas he returns.
Our ****** feet, reunited, grind into the same grimy ground
He has returned threatened and escorted
He is the inescapable praying prey, cornered by im/mortal forces

I/we, the I’m mortal, the stunning Gorgon mask with
The dummy serpents squirming and lusting to be unearthed,
We march to bring justice to love and ***
We protrude the fiery blood red tongue at his feet.

Take flight, exhale, touch the sun
X marks the spot in the center, the bullseye, the end
The flesh creates the reality the squealers
shriek and unbolt the doors to reveal the contaminated stains of
truth

Well Now It Seems...  
That There Is NO DOUBT... !!!  

That Humanity Is Being DROWNED... !!!  
By Government Clowns And New Tech Sounds... !!!  
That Have Folks Running Round...  
With Rather LARGE Frowns... !!!  

Because of A VIRUS... !!!  
That Moves In... Silence...........
  
It’s So SAD To See...  
How TRULY WEAK That People Be... !!!  
  
So NO Need For SIRENS... !!!  
Within Environments...  
Where It Seems That COMPLIANCE...  
Is Now The NEW TYRANT... !!!  
  
Violence RISING...  
And Protests CLIMBING...  
Up The Steps of Things...  
From Gender Politics...  
To... Social Chatter...  
About Whose Lives Matter... ?!?  
  
Because of Leaders...  
With WEAK Demeanours... !!!
  
Because They’re Simply...  
... Legacy Seekers...  
  
That’s Right LEGACIES...  
of POWER And GREED...  
And... HYPOCRISY...  
  
The Type Now Preaching...  
That Humanity NEEDS...  
... To Take VACCINES... !!!  
  
As Well As Embrace...
... NEW TECHNOLOGIES...  
Like... New Age Slaves... !?!  
  
Where VIRTUAL Teaching...  
Should Now Be Seen...  
As The Way To Decrease...  
This Virus LEAKING...  
Into... Communities... !!!  
  
While The Media Feeds...  
LIES Like Squealers...  
Dealing With... “ Peelers “...  
  
Or Yes The POLICE... !!!  
And... Military Teams...  
That Have ****** Fiends...  
That Armies DON’T Need... !!!  
  
When They Harbour Guys...  
Whose Minds Aren’t Right... !!!
  
So Are FAR From Good... !!!  
Just Look At Fort Hood...  
Where Soldiers DIE Because of LIES...  
  
And The Type of Vibes...  
That Define Just Why...  
  
You Really CANNOT Trust...  
EVERYONE With Guns... !!!  
  
There Is NO DOUBT...  
That Army Grounds...  
Hold Human Hounds...  
And Systems Built To DENY Guilt... !!!  
  
Where CRIMINALS Are TRAINED To ****...  
In Ways That Are UNTHINKABLE... !!!  
  
The Human WILL Is LACKING SKILLS...  
  
To... OVERCOME...  
These Governments...  
And Race Ignorance... !!!  
  
Because of FEAR... !!!  
This Now Is CLEAR... !!!  
  
And There Is NO DOUBT...  
That Humans Shout LOUD...  
But... LACK THE CLOUT... !!!  
To Do The Kind of Stuff...  
To TRULY Gain FREEDOM... !!!  
  
And To STOP Being GREEDY...  
... WEAK And NEEDY... !!!  
  
It’s Just So SAD To See...  
That... REALITY...  
Makes Most Folks FLEE...  
To Hide Behind Sheets...  
  
Know What I Mean... !!!!!!!!  
  
... PLAYING TOUGH...  
Until They’re THREATENED...  
By.... GOVERNMENTS.... !!!  
  
Running BIG TALK...  
Until Economies STALL...  
  
Which Has SUDDENLY...  
RESTRICTED Their Speech... ?!?  
  
Because It’s Really MONEY...  
That Helps Them To Breathe... !?!  
  
It’s A Shame To See...  
Peoples Actions WREAK...  
of Such... HYPOCRISY... !!!  
  
When The Same Old Sayings...  
STILL RULE The Way...  
That Most Play The Game... !!!  
  
If You’re White You’re ALRIGHT... !!!  
If You’re Brown Stick Around...  
  
But If You’re BLACK...  
.... STAND BACK....  
Or Face ATTACKS...  
From Various Packs...  
  
of Wolves Who In Truth...  
Mostly Look Like YOU... !!!  
  
Does My BLACK SKIN...  
REALLY MATTER To YOU... ?!?  
  
Or Does How I THINK...  
Make Me One Who’s COOL... !?!  
  
So Can Join The New School...  
of... Black Artists Who...  
  
Can Earn BIG CASH...  
You’d Better THINK About That... !?!  
  
Because What I’ve Found...  
Is That Money DECIDES...  
How Much That You’re Liked...  
  
And That Within This Life...  
That Those Who LIE...  
  
Tend To Hide Behind The Guise...  
of... LOVING Mankind...  
  
And Keep PRIDE By Their Side...  
Whilst Running Their Mouths...  
About What They’d Do...  
But Really Have NO CLUE... !!!  
  
About How To FUEL...  
REVOLUTIONARY Moves...  
  
Because MONEY RULES...  
And Corona Has PROVED...  
To SHUTDOWN Their Talk...  
of Being THIS And THAT...  
And Those Words Are FACT... !!!  
  
Just Look At Them NOW...  
They’re Slaves To Economies...  
Going... SOUTH... !!!
  
And It’s MONEY...  
That Makes Them RUN AROUND... !!!  
  
MOSTLY Now...  
With Masks OVER Their Mouths... !?!
  
Just Take A Look Around...  
These Facts RESOUND... !!!  
  
... Humanity Now...  
Is Indeed Being DROWNED...
By CORONA... New Tech...  
And Human FOOLISHNESS... !!!  
  
And Is Now Being DOWNED...  
By New Political CLOWNS... !!!  
  
And In THIS There Now Is.......
  
Simply.......  
  
.... “ NO DOUBT “.... !!!
The Pandemic has made a lot of things come to light about people, that are much clearer than they were, before !
