Three Minute Warning A messenger delivers A three minute warning As I lay in bed at 10:30 am (Resting in preparation for, not from, our oops, early morning hike). Breakfast will be ready in 3, Get your **** in gear or else It will be cold, I'll be mad, And you will answer to a Higher Authority. No problem cause I already know All I need is two. Splash water on my face Now I'm presentable enough to the human race, current company probably won't be happy, But I ain't telling her, are you? Shave! You crazed? It is a three day weekend, Every day a July Fourth, Celebrating freedom from the European tyranny, Of shaving smooth  every day! Splash water on my head, count with me, Five brush strokes as you can plainly see Is a classic case of overcompensating In my geling n' hair stylin' Brush my teeth, well, I hope 2 full minutes of rinsing with  CVS Green stuff, mouthwash, will have to suffice. Blast my deodorant both sides, Long and strong, wearin' now My bold blue *** husk of musk, Cause I am a very considerate fellow Who happens to really have stunk. Clean T- shirt and shorts, Yes, clean underwear too, Leaves me a whole minute to write this scribble. My flip flop noises coming down the hallway, Are the butler announcing our joint arrival, Me and my poem. Lest you think this is paean to men Another grand male boast, Be advised this ditty be writty By a man who, while no longer gritty, Just put jelly on his scrambled eggs And ketchup on his toast! Mmmmmmm there might be a poem Lurking in that too...

Three Minute Warning (A True Story)
Three Minute Warning A messenger delivers A three minute warning As I lay in bed at 10:30 am (Resting in preparation for, not from, our oops, early morning hike). Breakfast will be ready in 3, Get your **** in gear or else It will be cold, I'll be mad, And you will answer to a Higher Authority. No problem cause I already know All I need is two.

Up in the north, away from all the filth, there's a land of pure where angels descend. And live between the rivers and trees. There's a place known as Kashmir. A place that has sacrifices it's people just for the sake to get an identity. A place that's been crying since ages There's a place known as Kashmir. A place that's been bleeding for freedom. A place that's been a victim of tyranny. A place that need to be heard just once. There's a place known as Kashmir. A place that's been divided among nation. A place that has suffered a great deal. Let them live, let them breathe. Let there be a place known as Kashmir! We stand together as a nation today For we cannot see our heaven bleed. Kashmir belongs to Pakistan. And Pakistan belongs to Kashmir.

...about to do FORTY YEARS... **how much more do you need to see that you are in a tyranny?** This is akin to handing Socrates a poisoned vial Dre, in his new documentary on HBO... he says, if it doesn't feel right I'M OUT. * Does THIS feel right? * a million+white kids feel yah, a million plus feel yah TIME TO GET OUT! 9/29/2017 If I were a White Judge, Man what i would give to have gone to law school and been a White Judge Right Now A Black Capitalist acts like J.P. Morgan * *"Off the chain I leave CONGRESS soft in the brain cause SCUMBAGS still want the fame, off the name, First of all, you ain't STOLE long enough to be fu ckin with me and you, you ain't strong enough So whatever it is you puffin on that got you think that you Superman I got the Kryptonite, should I smack him with my **** and the mic?"* * -DMX (sic) reverse psychology works don't it?

G. government O. organization O. ogle You... ..yes you are so interesting or threatening to the government that they feel compelled to watch you all day, every day, constantly and a tech company is aiding them in violating a core principle of freedom; the right to privacy. A tech company is complicit in a tyranny against freedom and individuality while selling you knowledge? I hope Trump finds the courage to start hanging traitors because Google will be the greatest weapon against freedom ever created by man.     *There is not such a thing as democracy.     There is no such a thing as freedom.     There is no thing called capitalism.     America is a myth.* *

Set the alarm Lock the doors Lock the windows Lock the shutters Find the cricket bat – “put it by your bed” Say goodnight to mom and dad Although young, not naïve I knew every night had the possibility of being my last A routine that is now muscle memory. Fear – You may think But life – Normal for me. Wake up Turn off the alarm Unlock the doors Open the windows Open the shutters Put the cricket bat in the cupboard Never being able to be left alone at home. Unwillingly dragged from store to store. But – that’s the thing – People don’t know the real Her, They know the exquisite scenery, the unforgettable wildlife They don’t know… But I do. Because She is my home Because being in constant fear for my life – is normal. Confused – What do I tell people about Mother when they ask? The person who raised me, taught me how to be grateful, how to ride a bike,         how to love. Do I tell them? Will I scare them? Although hidden beneath the tyranny – I would say – the bloodshed the faces of malnourished children left for dead on the side of the road the poverty struck soil the corruption      the greed the hunger the death the separation of class and race Although a place feared – Africa. My Africa – Whose sunshine you feel ignited in your soul My Africa – Whose smile is irresistibly contagious My Africa – Whose heart lies in the grassy terrain The golden dunes of sand The never-ending mountain tops My Africa – Who is the heart of various people            cultures    languages           All who call Her home. She is – Where my heart lies even if I am thousands of miles away Where my mind wanders from day to day. Her air, instantly calls you Her smell, instantly smelt Welcoming you ever so dearly –       Home. Like all good mothers, She is the one who can handle both the tranquil and turmoil, the love and war. She is my home. She is who I fear of disappointing. My Africa – is beautiful.

Too long this rot has run its course, too much the damage done When men deflect acknowledged glance, they know that wrong has won. Across this land and far afield the wrongness seeps within And pride becomes a memory through distant halls of spin. How can we bow to tyranny, how can we shy away From that which causes  eyes to slide.... and coaxes will to sway? To tolerate the bombast, the bullying, the lies Succumbing to a hopelessness, which, both we despise. Division in the nation, uproar in between A man and wife’s contention-ness beyond what should be seen Brothers loathing brothers, silence in the room Where a word  uttered wrongly can erupt to screaming soon. Allies left in tatters, trust is cut to shards Tariffs injudiciously, imposed to **** the cards. International uproar, industry in strife Teetering disastrously when NATO flees the knife. Putin sits and rubs his hands, hilarious the show Disorder and disharmony to lubricate his glow. Beijing sits inscrutably, always opportune Manoeuvring judiciously, in place, to call the tune. America, the isolate, sails away to sea Blondini, at the helm, wears smirk indulgently. M. The White House HAMILTON NZ 12th July 2018

The Trumpet Call
I don’t care, That you don’t care, About caring about What I care for. And you know what? I don’t care that You won’t care for the only thing that I really care for. What if I care about cake? Would you not care about cake? Would you not care ABOUT CAKE? You care about cake, of course you do. I can see it in your eyes and by that tell tale dribble at your mouth. Cake is something that will make your legs quake with butter cream goodness. A good cake baked, makes you proud to be a cake baking citizen in a country that will let you bake cake. So what if I care about democracy. Would you not care about democracy? Would you let people live in fear of the **** of a gun, Would you care that there are those who are on the run from tyranny and violence who know pain and loss, that you could only wake up from, in a cold sweat? As you turn and toss in your memory foam bed. There is more happening on this Earth Then cake. There are greater causes than choosing between Thortons Double Chocolate Celebration and that traditional Victoria Sponge your Mother-in-law won in a raffle last week. The struggle humanity faces, is to live in harmony with each other. It cannot be resolved with cake. You cannot bring democracy to a country with cake. Or can we? What if we swapped, Non radar detectable aircraft For dairy delectable foodcraft, What if we swapped 12inch shells for 12 thousand babybels? What if we stole RPGs and gave back MSG’s (they’re less harmful in the long run, if thrown at you). What if, for once, everyone cared. And then we’d get somewhere. Every voice in every home Would not be a voice alone, And for once, we’d all agree about the fact we like cake and democracy for all.

See the emblem waving Proudly, touted in the sky. We walk among our brethren. We recourse, resource the reason why. All, in trepidation... We cry out for separation. Could it be our own downfall, Equality, but not for all - But, not for all? Citizens of the nation, Before humanitarians, First comes clicks of locking doors. Equality does not endure. A man of any land should be my brother. The whole earth, to us, our mother. Could it be our own downfall, Equality, but not for all - But, not for all? See the burden being carried High upon laden backs, Tautly stretched, with shoulders bending. Each fear the other will attack. The words have been the same, But for intent that's not their own. For too long, have we been believed. Equality is just for some - Is just for some. Freedom is only for the free. The lines that keep the captives buckling, The doors that keep them let them go. They have no where to escape. Always there is tyranny For the landless refugee. He is no man as worthy as you. Equality is just for some - Is just for some. All the lessons that teach us to love The home of brave and free Are based on notions that could not be true, If all are not the same as you. And, are they not the same as we, Who are decorating for our holidays. Living in our plentitude, Singing songs of charity and caring - Charity and Caring? Gifts are given and received. Do we remember the lessons taught About the kind of men we are, When another is in need? Do they not rate the same concern As the presents and the tree, As we pray in  Holy Spirit, Singing songs of charity and caring - Charity and caring? See the emblem waving Proudly, touted in the sky. We walk among our brethren. We recourse, resource the reason why. All, in trepidation... We cry out for separation. Could it be our own downfall, Equality, but not for all - But, not for all?

In these darkened rooms, where I spend oppresive days, I pace to and fro to find the windows. -- When a window opens, it will be a consolation. -- But the windows cannot be found, or I cannot find them. And maybe it is best that I do not find them. Maybe the light will be a new tyranny. Who knows what new things it will reveal.

The Windows
There is this place It’s called Palestine It used to be pretty And peaceful and lively The people lived as they do Everywhere else. Then there came to be this place It’s called Israel Which is basically Palestine But mercilessly occupied It attacked Palestine And took over most of its land. So now in Palestine Or what’s left of it Where there used to be quaint houses There’s just a lot of rubble With broken and burnt doors, utensils and limbs Jutting out from underneath. Where there used to be bright smiles That could light up the world There now are tears, burn marks and bloodied cuts That can rend any human heart Except those that are not human. It is a war, not between states Not between races, nor between fates Nay, this is a bigger war, one of faith At least, that is how it started But now, it is between human and non-human. Tell me, please Is it human to **** innocent people For the sake of self, and the sake of hate? Is it human then also, to remain quiet And watch such tyranny be? It must also be human, to point guns at 4 year olds. And by this definition, Humans of this world, humans that feel Are not humans at all, because they care And those that don’t, well They’re humans at their prime The most evolved of them all. Israel, I salute you, a salute full of mock At your utter humanity, and benevolence Your bombs when they land With the cheers of your people, And your guns when they point At 4-year old terrorists; surely they can **** Palestine, I stand with you, sincerely Your children, your people, your land and your peace Are my children, my people, my land and my peace Their bombs when they land, make my prayers fiercer Their guns when they shoot, make my eyes water But know this, Palestinians, we are one. So when they shoot you, I bleed And when they bomb you, I ache When they hurt you, I feel the pain And when you cry for help, I pray We are blood, we are one body We are the Ummah, we will rise. Until then we pray, we pray and we try Dear Palestine, stay strong, stay firm… Help shall come, in ways unimaginable *Do not weaken, and do not grieve You will overcome them, if you are true believers* Allah has promised, and His promise he upholds. ~Moniba.

Abraham to **** him—
Law, All ye termites hacking ants are you without sin? Twisting the law to your greed thus dethroning justice Thou that dis-virgins the law to suit your selfish taste, Did not equity say that none is above the law? Money-thirsty vultures seeking positions to occupy. Law hackers depriving justice and equity of her rights Equity and justice now lives in shame of her virginity, Almighty termite, do not your deeds speak evil of your sins? I weep blood for justice and equity whose daughters you ***** Is there none whose conscience still breathe or lives? Power-driven termites making uncountable promises Yet accomplishing none but your calculated interests. Equity, All ye leaders that preach peace, are you not corrupt minded? En-slaving accounts meant for public welfare Yet you claim to have the peoples interest in mind, Did not the law command you to let equity and justice smile? Parasitic predators hi-jacking the country's economy Filthy termites proclaiming injustice upon powerless ants, Justice hackers, do not your conscience judge your judgments? I wish that you allow justice and equity have her way. Law benders at whose feet equity and justice bow Rippers of the law, at your hands justice is twisted, Is your nature as humans so inhumane? Little wonder the earth lives in fear of your tyranny. Justice, All ye slanders of the law, why not sheath your swords of corruption? Your unchecked power has broken the wings of justice Thereby making equity a widow without a husband, Remember your oaths to serve with justice and equity; Did you deceive the ants that voted you in to serve them? Chameleons occupying seats of filtered ambitions Woe betide your conscience for refusing to judge you, Are you not guilty of molesting the law? I mourn for the shameful death of equity and justice. You that crafts the law to fit your suit of corruption Remember a day comes when justice will laugh again, And you being powerful cannot escape the law of Karma. Karma, Murderers of the law, will you also bribe karma? I doubt if you can buy the law of karma with money. Thou whose gluttony corrupts justice and equity, Don't you feel guilty that you disvirgined the law? Equity and justice now roams about in nakedness, You that preach the law, are you true to yourself? Heartless spiders cob-webbing the law to entangle poor ants Did not equity bid you come to justice with clean hands? Yet with filthy garments you condemn innocent ants; Mind you that someday the law will rise again. All ye scavengers of justice and hackers of the law, Do you think you can **** the law of Karma?

I sit and look out upon all the sorrows of the world, and upon all oppression and shame; I hear secret convulsive sobs from young men, at anguish with themselves, remorseful after deeds done; I see, in low life, the mother misused by her children, dying, neglected, gaunt, desperate; I see the wife misused by her husband—I see the treacherous seducer of young women; I mark the ranklings of jealousy and unrequited love, attempted to be hid—I see these sights on the earth; I see the workings of battle, pestilence, tyranny—I see martyrs and prisoners; I observe a famine at sea—I observe the sailors casting lots who shall be kill’d, to preserve the lives of the rest; I observe the slights and degradations cast by arrogant persons upon laborers, the poor, and upon negroes, and the like; All these—All the meanness and agony without end, I sitting, look out upon, See, hear, and am silent.

I Sit And Look Out
*i was looking at an old and tattered black and white photo of my grandfather a man i never knew and wondered about his existence like a horizon of dissolution his soul enshrined in my own and like him and all creatures ultimately i remain defenseless against realities magnitude while my father loved me as a child he grew unkind over the years and we where set bitterly against one another other his tyranny and my disobedience as i gathered strategies craft by machinery of thought and festering gall he, the bully got bullied back by me and old age as we in tandem set fire to his sadistic golden age of disillusionment and here we are now the living and the dead still locked in a grudge a recurring spirit of revenge in a valley of tears before i myself join the ephemeral legions in a pile of stones and ashed corpses are we not a procession of long struggles and short pleasures a history of terrors and creatureness stooges bound by the wheel creation crucified by desire and the apathy of obliterations aftermath an archeology of death ruin upon ruins has God sinned against man or bestowed his grace mystified perfect and beautiful beyond measure yet to be discovered in an alternate reality?

HORIZON OF DISSOLUTION
It thrums. In my head. On my skin. Vibrating meekly within. The beat hath weakened, Over many in an age. Only providing those the need. Vibration, Sensation. The will to sleep. Everlasting eternity, With you it seems insane. Beating constantly. You bring me pain.. Beat on me, Bring my self-esteem to a pulp. I will not back down. I will stand my ground. End your everlasting tyranny, You blackened heart. Cease your beating, Save your skin. Anger boils in my veins, I hate you. Perfection is insane, No one is perfect. Cease your yell, Your beat. You to, Are not worthy.

American Democracy is setting a trend: American Democracy is a Sitcom, or perhaps a Game Show of demagogic, narcissistic sociopaths tricking and manipulating the Public via various sources in a highly consolidated Media industry into thinking they vote for a particular flavor of Tyranny when in reality Today's flavor of Tyranny is all decided for you because the burden of Choice is far too stressful for the Moderner without proper medication, and the power of Choice may require some sort of educated critical Thinking, some sort of re-edification which is far too much for us to handle in this socially sanctioned doped-up state and with such an intentionally failing Education system from K through 12 and beyond. With American Democracy, We have a grand Illusion of Choice. It's so convincing that many believe the Illusion is True. (Sort of like hew we think of Reality, but with Choice of Government!) For American Democracy, They don't want mass Education. They don't want mass Edification. They don't want Critical Thinking; Those things prevent a Control by few. In American Democracy, They intentionally destroy progresses made, like Rights, They perpetuate stigmas about things like genders and the concept of "race" itself They propagate Terror as their Sheeple scream from the sidelines for more They defile the sanctity of Human Experience, of Reality itself and chain us to a system that benefits only a few while destroying everything else, like Climate and Environment. These Demagogues are Satan, if Satan is real: They tempt us with the things we don't need, filling us with Stress, Desires, Prejudices and Fears, and ceaselessly wage war on institutions of Education, all the while keeping us from finding the things we already have within each of us. This System of American Democracy has degraded into a  corrupted fractal of the ages-old ways of Tyranny and Terror: Aristocracy, Plutocracy, Patriarchy, Oligarchy, Kleptocracy, Demagoguery, Bankocracy, Corporatocracy, Fascism; Tell me, What is the ******* difference? I mean, even Adolf ****** was elected democratically under the pretense of "Change" then, for weeks later, suspended civil rights indefinitely after a likely false-flag 'attack' on the Reichstag in 1933, (for which the Nazis blamed the communists.) under the pretense of "Security": Demagoguery runs Amok Among disedified Minds. They say "Freedom" and "Democracy" as if it vindicates their Totalitarianism.

Long days seem so much longer. Distance does not make the heart grow fonder. You’ve conquered the empire of my subconscious. Your crusade so short, Yet I hope your reign continues for eons. We’re far past passive flatteries, Instead, we fill each other’s hearts with vows. You mean them now, But what about a few months? What if you decide I’m not what you want? The torment I am slowly approaching, Consumes my distant soul. I can hear the sounds of futuristic loathing, From when you decide this love has taken it’s toll. So tell me. How can I pay this inevitable toll? How can I save us from Cupid’s malicious tyranny? His arrow is too far lodged within me, I cannot remove it. I can only push it farther and farther Into my heart until it falls out of my back. But this arrow, trenchant. Cupid, the sharpest of marksmen. Yet colorblind, he is. He sees not what colors his targets represent. He draws his bow for the pure love of marksmanship. Sometimes, yet not often, He will hit the intended target. But the odds are scarce. His subjects are often punctured, And connected to one whom reciprocated Fate’s desire. Yet this time… This time… Cupid must have hit a target of Fate’s approval. For thrice he has missed. This time He and Fate are in sync. This wound may stretch over time, But the arrow shall remain firmly lodged within my ***** ***** and immovable. Until you kick it through my backside. But until then, I can only endure. I can only be woo wounded. I can only survive, Another ambush of the militant called Cupid. But I will do it for you, For by you, I’ve been so divinely seduced. Wooed by your lips. Not by your kiss, But by the music, Which your mandibles so express. I desire not to seal this wound, But to evade its’ repercussions. For I have endured a similar wound thrice. He is winged as if an angel, Yet Was Lucifer not once an angel as well? Cupid is an impostor. A spy of Agony, himself. He prays on the young, the old, the strong, and the weak. He cares not who he obliterates in his crusades. He is a bloodthirsty heathen. He makes scoundrels of Saints, And Harlots of Housewives. Saint Valentine is no Saint. He is Satan’s nightmare. At first, his arrows are ecstasy, But like a cancer, His poison-saturated arrows Seep deep within every crevice of your body. They consume you as if enriched with ****** And eventually rot within your ***** Until it is nothing but dust and a memory. One day I will assassinate Fate’s Malicious militant, The one we call Cupid.

Fate's Malicious Militant, Cupid.

You say one thing And demonstrate another Most of your actions make no sense I'm tired of your tyranny Over my life. I'm starting a rebellion Against you, I'm tired of your controlling ****** behavior, yelling And grounding me for weak reasons You waking me up at 3 am To complain and belittle me Asking me questions that I'm too tired To even comprehend And punishing me for Wrong answers and bad attitudes You've taken everything from me Through sleep deprivation and Lack of free will, lack of privacy you've taken from me My sanity my kindness My little willingness for socialization My level headed disposition My thirst for knowledge and reading My creativity and imagination You've turned me into... I think your turning me into you And starting today, I'm taking myself back

Rebellion
Alexander K  Opicho (Eldoret, Kenya;[email protected]) let me begin my salutation to you by expressing my angst  about your ghastly night experience that you go through when in the hands of the policemen who often walk around in the name of security patrols while in truth they bettle terror in the show of evil mighty they swop you down and arrest you spreadeagled asking for bribes substantially the money of your proceeds from the ware of your trade your body the temple of christian God, Wherever  your lack money your beauty saves you as they go on to  **** you  in circles among themselves as they glorify the power of your bossom in their policeman's slang, where beauty , tyranny of bossom and your bribe is absent you are forlornly arrested from the streets of Nairobi and Lagos or Johannesburg then rounded down to a dingy police cell to be charged with  heinous crimes of prostitution and vagrancy, when the true origin of your fortune's tomfoolery is powers that be as they glorify anti woman crude cultures beseeching a girl child into despair and depravement, they are these men who refused to  see you as a beacon of glory they always link you to the filthy bedrooms from which you ennoble not.

Ode to African *** workers
Among the most necessary things for the survival of intellectual constructs (such as personal rights, privileges, and information in general) is the notion of Satyagraha, as coined by Gandhi: The notion of Peaceful Non-Compliance to the ******** of your time. It is truly Compassion manifest. Civil Disobedience is a Virtue of which you will never hear in our Schools or Churches or on packages at Wal-Mart or from Politicians. Civil Disobedience is the Voice that cannot be taken until your Death. Civil Disobedience is the Music and pulse of a truly living Culture. Civil Disobedience is the respectful denial to conform to the laws imposed and policies enacted by those who are undeserving of such power, or those who abuse the power they so grandiosely wield. Civil Disobedience is necessary for the survival of a thriving popular Democracy, and thus is punished by the Authoritarians who use Democracy as a veil for Totalitarianism. Civil Disobedience is the only vote you'll ever be guaranteed in your life. It is Democracy seeking refuge in Vigilantism, It is Anarchy embodying the greater good. It is what must be done in the face of Oppression by Authority. I most sincerely and personally maintain: Civil Disobedience is a Virtue, Civil Disobedience is a Need, Civil Disobedience is a Philosophy. Civil Disobedience is Peace and Harmony in the faces of Chaos and Tyranny. Civil Disobedience; Peaceful Non-Compliance Respectful Dissent Informed Resistance. Pacifism is not for the faint of Heart. -\- *Then again, the options are few when we couldn't fight back if we needed to.*

Hail, happy day, when, smiling like the morn, Fair Freedom rose New-England to adorn: The northern clime beneath her genial ray, Dartmouth, congratulates thy blissful sway: Elate with hope her race no longer mourns, Each soul expands, each grateful ***** burns, While in thine hand with pleasure we behold The silken reins, and Freedom’s charms unfold. Long lost to realms beneath the northern skies She shines supreme, while hated faction dies: Soon as appear’d the Goddess long desir’d, Sick at the view, she languish’d and expir’d; Thus from the splendors of the morning light The owl in sadness seeks the caves of night. No more, America, in mournful strain Of wrongs, and grievance unredress’d complain, No longer shalt thou dread the iron chain, Which wanton Tyranny with lawless hand Had made, and with it meant t’ enslave the land. Should you, my lord, while you peruse my song, Wonder from whence my love of Freedom sprung, Whence flow these wishes for the common good, By feeling hearts alone best understood, I, young in life, by seeming cruel fate Was snatch’d from Afric’s fancy’d happy seat: What pangs excruciating must ****** What sorrows labour in my parent’s breast? Steel’d was that soul and by no misery mov’d That from a father seiz’d his babe belov’d: Such, such my case. And can I then but pray Others may never feel tyrannic sway? For favours past, great Sir, our thanks are due, And thee we ask thy favours to renew, Since in thy pow’r, as in thy will before, To sooth the griefs, which thou did’st once deplore. May heav’nly grace the sacred sanction give To all thy works, and thou for ever live Not only on the wings of fleeting Fame, Though praise immortal crowns the patriot’s name, But to conduct to heav’ns refulgent fane, May fiery coursers sweep th’ ethereal plain, And bear thee upwards to that blest abode, Where, like the prophet, thou shalt find thy God.

You once stood for something. When they told you "NO" you stood like a black-eyed-susan. like the tao. but when they beat you, betrayed you, hogtied and pepper sprayed you, you got angry. You did things that soiled your good name. I guess you just should have learned to take it, like the tao. like the tao, and wait. like the tao and let the waters rise. like the tao and overcome. the weak overcome the tyranny of man with numbers. WITH NUMBERS. as each drop of water equally starts the flood. like each living being that has ever thought "I will overcome." I will overcome. I WILL OVERCOME. WE WILL OVERCOME. OR AT LEAST WE'LL DIE TRYING YOU *************
