Humanity (Remove filter)

Order

A time comes when people sell values 
to earn money for generations to come

The orderly world goes disorderly
by their incessant toil to secure bright future

Humanity takes a form faraway from its basic principles 
unidentifiable for the deaf and dumb

The nature goes unnatural 
in the race towards unnamed goals 

The grace is disgraced 
for the sake of filling empty bags 

The fe...

From Left to Right

The left hand is behaving

As horribly as the right

It’s a fight to the death

With the dead having no say

In their demise.

The lies and the lies

The truth hiding its face

Behind a shameful hand

A rudderless boat

Skippered by the blind

Blood filled waters

The hyenas don’t mind

Washed up on the shore

The country’s looking on

Some baying for blood

Others sc...

Just Following Orders

Were you there

When they crucified my Lord?

Were you there

On Parliament Square?

Were you there

Giving humanity a kicking?

Were you there

Giving fascists your backing?

Were you there

Just following orders,

Were you there

Putting the boot into democracy,

There on Parliament Square?

Handala, Speed with our Love on the Wing!

I first had the idea for this song / poem on hearing the news about the good ship Madleen, setting out for Gaza.

 

Thunberg and her crewmates were not “deported” from Israel. The Madleen was illegally detained, her crew illegally abducted / kidnapped to Israel, and then released, after the Madleen’s cargo of aid had been stolen.

 

The so-called “personalities” - several failed “comedia...

Human

When your body bleeds,
the world turns near,
with gentle hands to calm your fear.

When your tears fall,
the world rushes in with soft embrace,
to hush your sobs and dry your face.

When you smile,
the world throws a celebration,
to rejoice in the blooming of your elation.

But what about me?

When my body bleeds.
no one turns.

When I cry.
the world does not listen.

When I sm...

Born of Rot: 14 June 1946

 14 June 1946 — the day malice was given human form again. It reflects on the vile nature of that birth and demands that this parasite be torn from the earth before more harm is done.
 

It was not a beginning, but a rupture. On 14 June 1946, the earth trembled as something rotten forced its way into life, a creature made from the worst parts of two people. There were no cries of happin...

The Weight of Negativity

The Weight of Negativity unveils the profound psychological truths behind humanity's bias towards negative experiences, thoughts, and impressions. Rooted in evolutionary survival mechanisms, this piece hopefully explores how our minds magnify fears, criticism, and catastrophes while overshadowing acts of kindness, peace, and progress. By dissecting the "negativity effect," the work tries to offer ...
