Sides Of The Coin

The battle before us -

“The Left and The Right”,

calling to everyone,

“Join in the fight!”

 

Calling, demanding -

“Which side are you on?”

The Left or The Right

not the right or the wrong.

 

Dividing while fighting

not missing a day.

Not doing or proving

they mean what they say.

 

A dog and a pony

crafted to hide

The Big Lie

In a state born from terrorism, what could go wrong,

with Ben Yahoo funding terrorists to bring Abbas to his knees;

his blind eyes turned to incendiaries and to rockets,

with millions in cash allowed through the crossing,

to maintain a ceasefire with Hamas in The Strip?

It's Not a Story / No es un Cuento

Everyone loves a story, 
whether it's made up or true,
the Pharisee commander, with his tongue,
was a master of this art

People looked forward to hearing him
when he went out to preach,
he would recite litanies for hours incessantly;
everyone applauded him endlessly

Stories well told by the Pharisee commander,
so elaborate that they were taken as the truth,
and bewitched people gave ...

The UK’s now corrupt to its bones,

New normal moral squalor,

As our poor face daily horror,

Human Rights? Brits are on their Jack Jones!

Vultures fly in perfect circles

and pretend we believe

they are white doves

bringing us peace

 

Foul-smelling scavengers

disguised as prominent politicians;

illiterate statesmen or authentic literati,

that never attended a single seminar

or even stepped in a University

but surely received and will show with much glee

their hard earned honorary doctorate degree

Alabaster towers rise to the azure sky,

breaking the clouds above a sprawling cityscape,

carved statues line the streets of no escape,

drawing you in no matter how hard you try.

 

Every day becoming a little sparser,

for this civilization has lost its grandeur.

 

Gasping for a breath of inspiration,

hell has met the entire ancient nation.

Driving a divisive wedge
Along religious and

Here in the verdant meadows

All on a summer’s day

The dreaded army of the dark

Met with the noble fey

They fought until the long sundown

And the lost blood of the dead

Soaked into the sacred ground

And turned the roses red

 

When the fight was over

And the legion of the flies

Had swarmed across the corpses

Stealing hope from sightless eyes

My friends and I don't wear masks and now people won't stand beside us,

Damn it's crazy that people still watch the news,

That doesn't make me a racist so please just relax,

flaming swords and thrusting spear,

The demon bares his fangs to bite

Get out of mouth now.

This is not yours.

You keep prodding at my gums, don't you get it?

 

They're sensitive.

I don't floss. 

 

I can see you past the surgical mask, behind the goggles that you keep foggy with a steam of egotistical pomposity. 

You're framed by a white room, white clothes, white breaths, because everything inside of that is dirty.

Eskimos bury
The handle of
A razor-sharp knife,
Bearing a lump of
Frozen meat, to be precise
Layers of  blood In the wilderness of ice.
Lured Wolfs gather round it
And unaware their own
Snow-frozen tongues they slit
They voraciously lick, lick and lick
Along with own blood, hot and tick.


'What a windfall luck! '
They think
'We are feeding on our blood! '

The Star and the Cross hope,

That he will be with us one day.

 

They call him by different names,

And claim him as theirs.

Both preaching similar faiths,

Both saying they are correct.

 

One says he is yet to come,

While the other hopes for him again.

One says he is the son of God,

While the other says, he wi...

Their likes aspire
To grow.

So far as their walk
Could face the glare of light!

Attention to its grotesque faces

Awaits the same story
A pilferers-leached country!

Faces of corruption—

With

Because it is time
For the survival of the slickest

Ghastly, void,

vacant, the guardian of

a chained black gate.

 

Never sleeping;

eyes, as heads,

unnumbered;

waiting for heroes

to seal their fate.

 

In legends torn

from clay cast bright

we may witness

fire and blades and bows;

such blood-fuelled spite.

Yes, you forgot that power corrupts, and honed your fell foul skills

till power, close to absolute, finds England wracked with ills.

It has its pleasures and there’s more than enough.
And I’ll share them with you; I will share them with you.

So, put down that rifle, and put down that gun.

Heh there, Mr Politician man
isn't it time you took the stand
stood and told us all the truth,
no spin, no tints, just forsooth.

 

All these years we've heard the rest
and though you might find us a pest,
recall now if you will,
just who it is that pays your bill.

 

Now exactly where did all that money go,
