Grammarian Thought

Crows come in murders 

When collectivised by a noun 

Nouns, when collectivised

Are communist components

Of classless and free

Speech so,

Should homicide happen 

Should it happen out of doors 

Then crows will surely show 

For crows also come with 

Murders 

As all assassins know.

Face It

If you believe in love 

If you believe in hope 

You believe in myths 

No different from a

Belief in ghosts

Undead Prime

What can an ending mean for you 

When there's nothing you've yet begun?

How can you sense the cold 

Creep of nightfalls 

When you have never seen the sun?

"The limits that you most dextrously use 

To stay within the bindings

Lesser wraiths would have easily loosed..."

They are charming to we apart 

Who merely look upon them but,

Cause terror in those who understand...

Those lace bracelets, spell-wrapped,

Snug 'round your wrists and hands 

Await your waking of the Overwill

To project the Fear

That first cruelly maddens

And then assumes command...

(For Scary, with respectful affection)

Autodidact

I think that I am learning 

Acquiring some discipline 

Because my mind is open now 

Some thoughts can get in 

That doesn't mean I'm about 

To open my mouth

And let them out 

Dark Art

Within live paintings that 

Painters will never paint 

Poets know words that 

Must never be read 

Putting it out 

All on the table,

If the weather is right,

Can prove to be fatal 

Jaded Days

The way one grim issue follows the next,

Leaves me to believe that I'm 

Still under some wizard's hex or 

Maybe it's that same band of bitches

And I'm still cursed by trollish witches...

Twisted History

In all of the reading that I have done on the Great Depression, I've yet to find any proof of the government's fabled great Prozac Production Push or the New Deal's National Valium Distribution plan. Where's the missing history? The Alprazolam Emergency Plan, etc?

Political Op-ed (2/23)

Republicans are not fitting well into their jobs as Representatives. They'd be better off with a change of venue and trade their House seats for places in cans of luncheon meat. The IQ needed there even GOP should reach.

Holy War

If you find that God has become 

Your active adversary, there's not 

Much that you can do except 

Keep your chin up, buddy, since 

Your chances of being victorious 

Well, there simply aren't any...

Explanation not Excuse

I write verse that others would 

Not allow to even be 

Of facts about how life begins and 

Ends, of desire too terrifying for 

Most of the sane to even comprehend 

But I create none of it, I but observe 

And write about as clearly as I can 

Because wilful ignorance is worse 

Than anything in this world that 

You may see but perhaps not 

Immediately understand

And that's about you and not me 

Death Delivered Reluctantly

Death Delivered Reluctantly 

If people would just behave 

More courteously

Have aneurysms or heart attacks 

Save me the sweat that needs be 

Spent using hatchets or cutlery 

It's not as if they'd be immortal 

If they'd never encountered me 

Or others of my kind who only wish 

To free their souls from gross bodies 

Of meat and gristle that'll only turn 

To mould and worse, food for worms 

When wouldn't they rather be recalled 

By those who loved them while 

They were vital and walked the Earth in 

Search of beauty and of all 

That life is worth...?

The End of Ends

I'm so filled with fury and with hate

That I want to eliminate this world 

To watch it burn into toxic ash

Poison gas and the glowing remains 

Of cosmic collisions and a rain 

Of radioactive piss, the most fitting 

Salute to what was doomed from the start 

Once evolution brought to life 

Pure pride and greed, the lust for which 

Nothing mortal could ever satiate 

That only an exploding star could 

Purify and hope to clean and erase 

The stain of from the sterility that is 

At the heart of silent space...

The Human Dream

The best to hope for 

From the future is

Quick and painless death

To prevent our blocking of 

The progress of all 

The other life on Earth 

To which humanity is of

Less than zero worth

Death, Take 1

People use language but many are not consciously aware of what they are actually saying. Ignore the sounds of the dying and say, "Oh, I know what he means!" What are you? Some god? It's just a fluke if you're right.

You may just have stolen the last meaning that he gave away...

Death, Take 2

I don't care if you are encircled, heated, spiritually protected by nine generations of family, or the beacon shining from your heart has pulled your friends near to thee.

Were you the central bone of a 

Thriving, packed, human mass

You'll still die all alone.

Ukraine & Russia: Fight Yesterday Today

Race/social memory is self-perpetuating and if the recollection of Stalingrad can be rekindled by the Russian leaders, the outcome of the conflict will never be certain. Both politicians and pundits often toss about the phrase "hearts and minds," like a magic spell that will give birth to victory. They fail to understand the people. Minds can come up with the plans but it's the hearts that carry satchel charges that will be stuck to tank's bases, hearts who are the water in the tsunami of the human wave and whose final shot is fired from the grave. 

The technically advanced Western power makes an error if they forget the power of dead grandfathers who gave their lives and more to annihilate the Germans at Stalingrad. Russian conscripts may be untried and poorly equipped but they have a supply train of history that is fuelled by pride. The Russian soldiers do not fight for Putin, they struggle on for the the honour of dead family, of whom they have many millions, for the glory of a history without end that has now fallen 'pon hard times like many times before. Western tech is powerful and frightening but, is it strong enough to crush and eliminate this enemy's history, its pride and its will to live? Napoleon thought so and where is his Empire now? Germans, Swedish, Islamic armies and others, today enrich the black soil from which comes the blackest bread that feeds the subjects of German genocide alongside plagues and famines, all of the ways in which the Russian people never died.

Dramatis Personæ

Empty stage

Journal Entry, Never Read

I'm lost on a lake 

All alone 

I know how to paddle 

But not how to row

The Monster Reimagined

If you believe that you and your body are now mature and have nowhere to grow, could you please explain why I should leave you still breathing when you lack a spirit you will never own...

Aiming Vaguely

Efforts to cause meaningless phrases

Lets language daily escape 

That's empty of corpus or spirit 

While the imprisoned with prejudice 

In subtle ingenious ways 

Routinely engage in incest

Using foreign names and alien parts 

Comprehension

Death is but a photograph of a 

future that you have yet to meet. 

Just wait, you will see that 

you occupy the same negative 

space in which your absence 

will be placed 

Horticulture

The obvious life 

A liver mill

Organs swim unnoticed 

Paddle by paddles 

That steal the power of 

Passing wheels

Aiming Vaguely

Efforts to cause meaningless phrases

Lets language daily escape 

That's empty of corpus or spirit 

While the imprisoned with prejudice 

In subtle ingenious ways 

Routinely engage in incest

Using foreign names and alien parts 

Competition

To win the race, to be the first past the gate, loses its charm if the slugs you did defeat make you the centrepiece of their extravagant victor's feast.

Humanity

We're committing genocide of the Earth's biosphere 

While we are still living here 

That should spark the realisation

We are not Earth's finest creation

Life that experienced the same 

Sea-to-land transition 

Is led by its most toxic expression 

Nazi Party

Ever been to a Nazi party?

The best of drink,

The finest food, 

Teutonic music,

Waving flags to 

Set the festive mood.

A larger dance floor 

Than 54’s but lie unseen 

The lasers, strobes and fog

Machines that help 

Hide our debaucheries, 

At a price and all for free.

Intoxication for the nation,

Everybody’s expectation… 

Power so nigh keeps you high

While you slip from lip to thigh.

Another glass of nepenthe, dear?

Perhaps display your über rear?

If we should ever settle here,

In heaven lit by jackboots’ gleam,

Leather starved for your wet scream,

‘Til tingling toys awake your skin,

Both what is seen and that within.

Enter now our custom dream…

Guests engorge, indulge their fancies.

See? There’s Goebbels in his wife’s panties.

We’re here to satisfy, we are the reason why 

You came here free, of your own will

But moonlight forges bonds of steel. 

Now, sunk in our philosophy 

Your soul is ours, feel our power,

Possessed flesh is all you’ll see.

We’re so glad you obeyed 

Our desire’s invitation,

For forever now you’ll 

Ever help to swell 

Our population.…

Homeless and Bored

What’s up, old cardboard box?

We’ve done another day 

It look like tonight gonna get real dark 

Where in Hell we gonna gets us a’tarp?

Sometime old coats you can gets free 

From one or ‘nother those Societys 

But boots, fuck, they’re a bitch

Still, can’t do dick ‘bout it now 

Stop thinkin’ them boots, just stop thinkin

We should be damn good ‘til

We do those next break-ins

So say, paper palace, let’s just 

Get down to the drinkin!

NyQuil, NyQuil, friend and energy 

Take this dark and cold away from me 

NyQuil, NyQuil, trusted remedy

Shut my brain and set me free 

NyQuil, NyQuil, heroin of the poor 

Gots nuthin better but you’ll do for sure 

NyQuil, NyQuil, you comfort us poor

Cause us poor fuckers need smack too

At least we got green heaven 

In cheap bottles made for one 

If you can score it, NyQuil and gin

Taken together, make strong medicine 

Green heaven and gin will knock you down 

Until grey morning rings another round 

Dark Wanders

It’s the same with all you lose 

Every room gets dusty 

Every place gets dark 

Except the bushes in the park 

Lit up by the night 

And necessity,

My last escape from what used to be

Adipose Overdose

Now I’m wondering if I’m suffering that killer plague of fear that’s our loudest alarm. Soon some John Doe will be eaten, what remains mutated by cosmic force we don’t understand until it’s the biggest piece of furniture 

or anything in the office: the mass of a desk, computer, a whole IT station couldn’t compete with such a mountain of meat which is still expanding. Exponentially.

In order to avoid a less gruesome fate, nuclear 

weapons are the one sure cure.

An ICBM won’t simply scratch it,

Adipose will vanish, disintegrated. 

With no more war, nothing to fight, 

We’ll only have added a novel new shade 

To our great Northern Lights. Won’t that be rad?

Cool?

Hot?

Great?
