"tyrannical" poems
If I ruled the world, I would be, Not a benevolent leader, nor, Would I be a tyrannical leader. I would be something much unexpected and, hopefully, humble. You see, I would be a quilt maker. Not of fabric and thread, though. I would stitch the different cultures together, leaving each individual one unique, yet united by a common thread. I would sit with my diplomatic needle and peaceful stitching and lead those whom hold contempt for one another see the other's perspective. I would show them that, The world isn't in black and white, It's in full, high-definition color. So let's celebrate unity, Equality, Individuality, And uniqueness. Because in the final chapter, We all already rule the world. It's up to us to thread ourselves to each other, Or pull ourselves apart by the seams.

Quilting (If I Ruled the World)
“A real man,” She said, “Must not be afraid to show his sensitive side, But he better swing his ***** When he needs to. He must be strong But his strength must not make him weak. He must be smooth, But he must not slip or slide away. He must be refined Not ground thin. He must be proud But not haughty. And then she smiled Her cavalier smile. And I said “Let me show you. Let me show you what a real man looks like.” So I showed her. I showed her my death And rebirth, I showed her my missing rib And broken teeth, I showed her my lying mouth And my truthful eyes, I showed her my deific wrath And I showed her The book I wrote In ancient tongues A thousand years ago I showed her that holy book, My seditious tyrannical spirit, My unconquerable will to dominate Then I showed her my hand, Its fine lines, And the diacritic print of each finger. Then she showed me, Purpose.

A Real Man
If you were reincarnated as an animal Knowing everything you do now Would you treat humans differently than animals already do? Or would you bite the hand that beats? Or would you bite the mouth that eats? Would you treat humans kindly? That could be a bullet finding I come across a shivering raccoon Stuck inside a winter monsoon It's too young to survive I could help I surmise Its coat can't protect its form In my car it's nice and warm But I don't understand the raccoon And I fear it doesn't understand me Though I'm not proud of it I travelled around it Mosquitoes want your blood to survive The same way I want your love to arrive There's a pestering orbit Your teeth grind and grit I feel the need to feed I am overcome by greed I want you inside me So I insert my proboscis And you turn into colossus It's an animal process When you squash us So animals grow stingers And poison that lingers When we use our fingers To smash them And detach them From our humanistic existence They have a reproductive resistance So we keep fighting And they keep biting Because there's no end in sight When we see animals take flight We define anything different as animal This is our excuse to act tyrannical They feel our wrath When they're in our path We turn them into roadkill This world becomes a landfill Our hollowed humanity on the shelf We treat animals as we treat ourself

Animals
Inside the bubble that is your mind Revolves an endless cycle of war The sting of your tyrannical thoughts Launches missiles through your vile lips Vilifying my dignity with hurricanes of syllabic outrage Swiftly dispensing my emotions into your hole of egoism Jealousy frequently consumes and controls your actions Foolishly you listen to every whisper that blows your way Tell me lady what do you want from me? I break my neck to fulfill your pleasures But you repay me in grotesque fashion **** on my pistol of revenge baby doll By Glenn McCrary © 2011 Glenn McCrary (All rights reserved)

Intellectual Weaponry
Alexander K Opicho (Eldret, Kenya;[email protected]) Do you remember one era in Kenya? During the dark days of dictatorship When Daniel arap Moi Was the tyrannical president of Kenya And darkness of leadership Loomed like the dark clouds of el Niño When forty district commissioners Out of the total of forty two were kalenjins? Whose main work was to spy and terrorize As the people forlornly groaned under the heavy Yoke of state terror of tribal torment When the president claims that He was not aware of such tyranny, When we used to sing a lame poem Of jokoo! Jokoo! Jokoo! Jokoo! On empty stomachs with no hope of food No hope of jobs or even education Street children swelling on the street In total political nonchalance of arap Moi As he only gave free milk to his own kalenjin youths In Kabaraka schools, the Kabaraka school which was Overfunded by the poor tax payers money, Please President Uhuru Kenyatta as good as you are With your dear humane heart of Bantu conscience As you are armed to teeth with modern education **** sapiens Gentility and polished diplomacy Superb in quality of thought and supremacy of choices The government of Kenya is yours and the people of Kenya Are your political darlings, true bandwagons for ever Kindly listen and buy my poemetics, my dear president Remove Daniel Moi from the state house of Kenya, Let not Daniel Moi be your adviser Ignore him and embrace Kenyans For common future happiness Even if Daniel Moi is old, the truth is different He is not a good man, he is full of Machiavelli His full badness is measured in absurdity Of terribly and horrendously crashed *** crushed Testicles of poemcrats and political leaders Of Kenya of yore and today, Truth meted in When koigi wa wamwere became A permanent staff of kamiti maximum prison without pension Wangari Mathai beaten like an animal in a hunters trap Ngugi wa Thiong’o jobless and detained without trial Raila Amolo odinga’s testicles went missing He looks for them on daily circadian But once he nears their political pigeonhole Then elections of the times flops, O! Poor Odinga! President Uhuru Kenyatta with your suave intellect You won’t get a pretext to say that I was not aware or not informed Please dear darling of the people The people of Kenya in their 42 tribes Novate Moi with the people And your legacy will smile.

Come and hear the tale of a falling This failure of a king, his story appalling Come and hear of his last moment's calling This man whom we once called our king. A mad king anointed with power in mind Crowned by desperation, crowned by the blind A tyrannical king; No worse will you find For this man is a servant of Hell. He comes and he swears in God's holy name To cater the people and lands that they tame But it's I who knows of his little game The political regime that he runs. He sits on his throne and barks at his men Demanding the whys and demanding the when Slowly but surely he wears the string thin; For the people may tolerate so much. He works through the town, donning his crown A hat that is envied by all in the town; For the man is rich, the man is renowned! This man whom all call their king. Beneath him men die, but criminals don't pay Put them to death, that's what I say! This kings way is in no way the right way But we the people can do naught but pray. But good men exist, whom jail the unjust Good men who work to earn the town's trust And these good men speak out, shaking out the dust And speak out against their king The king starts to fear, his gate is now closed And he starts to regret the options he chose And now by good men this king is deposed By good men this king is denied. Now we call him a tyrant, we call him a fake We spit on his image, his throne we forsake We take up our arms, pitchfork and rake And march to his door to knock. Some killed by guards, but good men prevail And blood rains down like late Summer hail And in the end we hear the king wail His death is announced the next morning. Good men cheer and king's men glance back Wondering what it was the mad king lacked Though who didn't expect his castle ransacked For was not the king of the wicked? It matters not in the end, you will find Good men un-knotted this terrible bind They laugh and jest at history behind And cast themselves to a new king. But this ballad of history will soon be repeated For in the halls of recurrence it is seated This tragic comedy of rulers so heated This tragic tale of a king.

Dominance (Metaphor Poem)
Melting madness and shimmering isles The bubble-gum boils in drug pedophiles Let's teach the East to love Western style We come in with strap-on's and pillage with smiles The rest of the world watches their watches People keep saying we're at hour eleven We're changing the design on our gold lockets From a heart to a blackjack, Seven Seven Seven! The college boys assure you that they know the lyrics And the meanings behind them for they've been enlightened They swarm out like locusts and pretentiously parrot Verbatim the textbooks they read when they're frightened That they'll die with nothing to show for their efforts They want everyone else in the world to remember That they did exist on some scale of importance Even though we're just spun yarn of grass, dirt and oceans Intelligence streams the consciousness seeds and conscientious objectors it seems So pardon me for the fallacy of pardoning tyrannical dictator queens It seems these days to be discovered you need to cheat on your spouse or your lover You'd think that with all the war crimes we've seen we would have hung at least one or the other We've got two parties, so pick one or scram! (Look at them squirm as fast as they can!) They're starting to think for themselves again! Quick, strangle the market and feed this man Acid and bath salts and give him some tear gas and send him on in to disarm the smear traps And **** everyone so we'll jump to conclusion with no where to turn, the final solution! I'm drunk again and we're falling in, the shoreline is riddled with explosions We don't speak of the war, we have no comment, we're almost out of original content We're frantically searching for a brand new contest to prove that our nation is still the best Whether you're China, Russia, Israel, Pakistan, the U.K., or India, the U.S. or Japan Let's take all the gangbanging **** out of Oakland and drop them in to the Atlantic Ocean Or better yet, set them loose in Uganda, let's see how long they last in Rwanda. I'm done with religion and socialized medicine, this aristocracy of pull and deception So for once in our lifetimes, let's seek a vision, because God knows people can't make ******* decisions.

There comes a time when tyranny of numbers, Evaporates into tyranny of idiosyncrasies, Especially when the ethnic tyranny tyrannizes Voice of reason the matrix of humane inclusivity, When the malice in the enormity of clan numbers Worships brutality of foolishness that purtains In the group of the over sized ethnicity To cement the tyrannical tomfoolery.

Tyranny of Tomfoolery
I told the professor I loved beat literature and all the hippy consequences. He said they were such a small part of the population (along with Native Americans too apparently,  he noted a different time. Because of what, you ******* I thought). A pompous misguided thing, which either understandably or surprisingly, been teaching there since the 1960s. Five minutes of a winded attempt at putting anglophile humor into the lecture and you know the choice is "understandably" rather than "surprisingly." Been professing for the establishment, closed to other ways of thinking trickery.   A real square through and through. As if all change should come from appeasing the tyrannical bleachy supposed majority. Those in poverty, darker skins, gays, drug users, and all around flashy dressers ought to don suits for their one night Ed Sullivan performance. Get the folks on Bass Run Lane to be okay with seeing you in a glass cage in their living room scene. For just a couple decades. Then maybe they'll be used to seeing you in a grocery store. You'll always be laughable though, as they designed it to be so. The hippies were a very small majority says the anointed professor. "So were the suffragettes" snaps back a fiery thing sitting next to me. I should have talked to her more.

Sick on the Mold of a Herodotus Book
Why are people intentionally cruel and malignant? Are they too blind to mistake their Achilles’s heel for their forte? Or do they intentionally enjoy obliterating anything that comes their way? Indubitably, reeling into their self-destruction and collapse as the roof caves. Repelling any benevolence into their lives, They will close all doors with their narrow minds. Atrociousness will prevail and set forth unfathomable tongues of rhyme. Seeking insatiable supremacy governing in disguise. Clearly oblivious to the detrimental exploits they expose, They will lead a life that is solely self-imposed. Cultivating an environment of animosity is not astute you see, People will always revolt and eventually be set free. Unless you morally evolve and realize you have wronged, You will embark on a journey that will negatively consume your soul. It begins with your physical state, depleting with every irrational action you make. Ultimately, deteriorating your body into an anemic vegetable state. Reeking of insecurities through the infusion of wretchedness and despair, your life will begin to turn inside out transforming into an eternal torment of misery and hell. However, it's never too late to change your tyrannical direction. It's only compassion, empathy, and altruistic love that will be your salvation. By: Michael M. De La Fuente

Cause and Effect
In a distant dystopia, it towers above all. It radiates a dim blue glow, that Transfixes eyes and minds alike. Pulling with the gravity of 20,000 suns, Its force cannot be rivaled. An irresistible, iridescent abomination, and An admonition unto the autonomy of thought. Weaving tapestries of illusory illustrations, Into the indigent intellect of its unsuspecticng viewers. It's images penetrate the psyche like magic, as Minds are manipulated into the madness, of Mass consumption of manufactured "needs." Its reporters replace reason with rhetoric, for Objectivity is no obeject in an age of sound bites. It demonizes difference, distracts, and desensitizes. Apathy becomes queen, and facile pleasures become king. Remember your vigilance.

The Tyrannical Screen
Where do thugs go? Who do they run to?  Where do they call home?  Not a house that they go to, but a place where they feel belonged  How do they cope with the scarcity of love?  Thugs, not the kind that most women think they are attracted to; therefore, not the imposers Not the kind who landed at the bottom of the hill, sliding from the top only to scrape off their rot  Not the ones who were born with all the right people in their corners, but boxed them off while trying to fight to be someone that they are not  Thugs, the ones who momma loves? Because he appreciates her worthiness, her works  She's the only real love he ever had since birth  Thugs; who can't really go places because trouble doubles  It multiplies whenever he is with his guys  Because they all know how it feel not to live under a roof  Neither one of them have anything to lose  His dudes are equal to himself cubed  They rely on one another like proofs  And they are radical from the roots  Living in a negative atmosphere trying to multiply it by itself  So that they can make it to where the grass is greener and the sun does shine  The other side of the number line  Where the gunfire and homicides are divided And the dope is reduced  All their lives they have been thinking that they are enduring the truth  That they "cannot amount to nothing and cannot be put to use" They are neck deep in the streets  And the authorities is at their throats like a crew  But nothing around them is cotton  So when their fingers symbolizes a "V" they are only representing the place where they have to be  And they are not weak, but sometimes they wishes that they can take off a week  Black cats can't chase yarn Mexicans don't have a specific day for casual dressing  Asians don't get any waivers  Cubans can't take less hours for a semester of schooling  Haitians don't get vacations  The **** life is given  Difficult to make it As it is to escape it  It's hard to deal  When all they know is reeling in deals  To people who are saltier than Dill's  While at the same time trying to act real... Kosher Without a companion to share meals... How do they find closure? Too busy being tyrannical  Never learned how to be grammatical  So **** just got "worser" Interviewee for a job  Or being suave to a child's mom Besides their eyes, Their oration is just exposure  Not knowing their duration to exist on this surface  Thugs need love  It's hard to tell through his mean-mug  But he's hurting

Rootclod Rudiments
I am the child of faceless night, Born of a union of mere flesh. I am the bane of garish light, Born to voice a thousand cries. As the tyrannical sun sets, As the benevolent darkness takes over, I lend my ears to pleas of the mute, My footsteps swift and my movements light. Cloaked by deception, myth and legend, I am the faceless God of Death. Hidden by lies, tales and fables, I am the bearer of infinite names. In times of Eclipse, when order falls, When the avarice of a few prey on other lives, When Justice, the blind, mute and dumb wretch turns away it eyes, I don my mask, the son of chaos and fear. Although bards pen my tale as one of a hero's, I suffer no delusions, I know I am a psychopath. I am not a part of God's great plan, I am not an instrument of his divine will.I am the mere manifestation of human rage, Softened by the plight of my kin. All I know is that some men deserve to die, And much like Him, in whose image I was made,I feel powerful with each life I take. The thrill as my knife bleeds out the life in them, The rush which courses through my body as I remove these social tumors, Is far greater than the soft caress of lust. Thus, I'd **** only to stay alive.

The Faceless God
Today was tomorrow, yesterday. If that isn’t enough to make you go crazy, Then, how about a year ago, today felt like forever away, Yet, by tomorrow, it’ll be gone, nothing left to say. For nothing gold can stay, But, isn’t time a tyrannical little thing? We can’t change it, nor stop it, We’re purely at its will. We can’t see it, but its effects, As our world is encompassed by its silk. It’s all around us, yet it eludes us. How can we be so blind, But, bound by brutes who bellow from the night? We watch helplessly, As the world changes constantly. Partly, by our hands, Purely by time’s demands. Puppets on sharpened strings, Dancing to a tune that someone else sings. I wish I could sever the strings, But we’re all dragged along by time, continuously. It’s heartbreaking to watch such beauty fall apart. Friendships die, people cry, Dust yourself off and keep on smiling bright. Rise up, like a daisy, Otherwise, the world gets too hazy. How am I supposed to see?! Sometimes, it feels like things are crashing down around me. Time laughs as it claps, Dust myself off and keep on walking straight, Suffocating under the weight. People keep growing older around me, Meanwhile, I’ve felt the same since I turned fourteen. Eventually, I’ll have to put on an act, Like I have any idea what I’m doing. Pull it all together and keep on moving. That’s all that we can do. Oh…I fear the future. Most may say I’m delusional, But I like control. I like my day to be predictable, No surprises for me. And when my routines break, Anxiety takes the helm. Why wouldn’t I be afraid, Of something that affects me every day? Why wouldn’t I be terrified, Of something that’ll affect the rest of my life? All based on decisions I make, What if I make a mistake? The last thing I need is more pain. From the tyrant who controls everything. Tyrannical time, I don’t understand how people turn a blind eye. I wish I were ignorant, Since that seems to be bliss. Instead, I think, perhaps, too much, About things I can’t ever touch. That’s my curse…

NOT LOOKING AT OURSELVES August 7, 2009 - Damascus Ayad bin Izzet Why is it so hard to think of ourselves? Why is it so hard to change bad habits that seem to possess us? It seems to be a near certain fact, that humans do not like to think of themselves; certainly, very few seriously, deeply think about themselves. Who asks himself: “How do I look like to people?” “How do I sound to people, when I say this and that?” “Why is it people like certain aspects of my behaviour?” When you open up such a subject to people in general, it is common to hear: “Look, I don’t care what people may think of me”. But an answer like that will not help you go far in this world. You do need to pay attention to what people think about you, otherwise you will be, de facto, behaving like a tyrannical dictator – you are, in effect, alienating and restricting the advancement of your varied self interests. Why you ask me? Because we all need people if we are going to succeed in our professional and social lives. Without the agreement of people you cannot succeed, unless if your work can survive within a hermit’s context. So why are people so antagonistic to change themselves? I think that for people they are scared of thinking about themselves because they fear what they might find out the nature of what is existing within themselves. Another reason, is addiction. A person may simply be compulsively addicted to the harmful personality he has – yes, even if he knows that his personality is harmful to his own self interests. I talk about this subject because we all do need to change our selves, our personalities - since all the troubles of our entire lives emanate from one source: we dysfunctional humans! Where else do they come from? And yet, anyone who has ever tried to explain to another person their faults will surely go nowhere. No one is interested. I know one lady who I call the ‘Pharmacist’ because she lovingly showers everyone else with advice, while she herself cannot bear to hear one word with respect to her faults. And then, as the years passed, I came to realize, why all people are basically ‘Pharmacists’! People have an obstinacy that harder than leather, colder than an icicle; we simply will not improve, as human beings, if we remain this determined not to reform our minds. And there is nothing else to add on this sorry subject. How pathetically sad. A fine epitaph on Humanity’s grave.

Bring victory, the winged harbinger of the conquest, Beg for tyrannical proclamations: the end of man, the end of men, By now, the greater of the concepts is lost to its own devices, devices, Belching out smoke, that bend the corpses upon their backs. By wrenching from their life a sense of purpose, Byproductively, they feed heroic romanticisms of combat. Brought yet upon these fields, there lies no stranger enemy But that of the tide Being self-effacing, masochistic, Belittling, She breaks herself upon the shore, ravaging the bodies of Both, Playing as ********** and as subservient

Pausing briefly, gathering further instruction The evil Eye of Baar reflects Upon a memory, near complete conception. With all hearing soul and forming sensors The evil Eye of Baar absorbs Only pertinent waves from its passive donors. Passing shadows, focusing hard detail The evil Eye of Baar perceives Enough truth to know how not to fail. Come the distant death and lengthening span The evil Eye of Baar flaunts Just future birth to compliment an evil plan. Plans shaped, Spontaneity becoming colder The evil Eye of Baar warms To eventual visions and power growing bolder. Sold on tyrannical tactics and plotted course The evil Eye of Baar dims To possible defeat and attack to its source. Intuition dying, reflex receded by design The evil Eye of Baar succumbs Unlike mortals, helpless in death, forced to resign.

H- His False Hypothesis
The rainbow’s bright colors gazed out of their prism, speculatively, cautiously, almost contrarily, with no wall to paint their patterned pictures on, fading into irrelevance as they vanished into the void . Time ; torturous and tyrannical, toyed with the torrential turbulence, as it’s transitive tenaciousness thoughtlessly, tactlessly, tooled through the torrid tempest . The starry-eyed girl gazed glassily across the expanse as if in a quandary over the night sky . A half human silhouette in a sky filled with thunder heads and birds of prey rooted in a tapestry of alien galaxies and blazing stars playing a melodian . Water glistened on the skin of the naked woman and rainbows danced in the air before her as the waves crashed against the rocks . A young man with a pony tail in the center of the back side of his head played his drum while he danced on the grass .

Sir! With a rod of iron he ruled. Indignant arrogant. A cursed teacher. A ******* king of cruelty. Only king tyrannical. And aged dinosaur. Respect he required. Needed. Desired. He cared not. For egotistical ******* was he. If you were small in personality. Your life, he'd make a perfect misery. In **** expulsion. His **** would hit the wall. Along with loaded blackboard rubber. Papers, they would hit the floor. As he'd chuck you out the door. Would chuck his rabid rantings all around the room. The anally extirpate master of raw doom.

Sir!
Deconstructing a Kafkaesque amphitheatre of the absurd, Easy wallows she in their hypocrisy, Son of a gun grabbed on to the gold that fed his infant self, doesn't dare let go, won't ever, Dev breaks the bottle he hits, scrounges, discards the last scrap, the rat scurries in, devours, heads back into the smoked corridor, the auction goes on, so does he showering petals and pity upon the middle road more travelled, bumpy, potholes full of acid and bile, the stupidity of the tyrannical majority and an underwater civilisation consumed by mind-numbing, mildly shocking TV, undercurrents of power drowned under. Uppercase Him, uppercase He, they hoist a red flag, set it afire, stomp out the flames, wave a black rag till the ashes turn to naught, the Dionysian petit bourgeoisie proceed, spew, ***** spew, repeat. The voyeuristic rat has front row seats gaze fixed, piercing centrestage auction-house by day, amphitheatre by night, the bids shall resume when the morning bells toll, till then, Dev's hungry for more, the rat enjoys the show.

Pseudo has a silent ***
"Death's gaze ever present on it's tentacles A weight of power unformidable Crashing down upon its victims" Beware the Kraken! A monster of seas The one sung about in many shanties Marauding, ripping, and crushing its victims This a myth by which the crew schisms But the unsteady seas beneath the hull Bubbling and boiling, the ocean calls Unleashing from the bowels of the deep A beast of lost worlds, oceans it reaps The Kraken, awaken, outstretches it limbs The skies are blackened, the heavens dim With tyrannical force he unfurls his power The mast snaps, wood shards and splinters shower Fearful men aboard are pulled to a watery grave Oceanic law, for this crew of knaves The last aboard the teetering deck A captain standing tall within the wreck Howling at the beast below Again tentacles high above the sea grow Dragging the wreckage into the water Appeasing the beast, the great destroyer
