Dark Mazda

A poem from 2019



Everyone hangs on the words of the village idiot
He forever contradicts the world and himself
Contrarian to a fault but it doesn’t dent his popularity


Minds made mush
Deceiving hearts followed
Humanity does a handstand
Blood rushes to the head
Dizziness and nonsense rule
Eyelids do not blink


Who are the new extremists?
Why, the people who hold to tradition, of course
Hearts are worn on sleeves
Everything is inside out
You choke on the vomit of society
It is so self assured and lacking self awareness

Eric Arthur Blair

A poem from 2018

Nations rise and kingdoms fall
They fall upon the common man
The days are gone when kings led the troops into battle

One up, one down
A bleak existence
True poverty
Working every hour

Worship Mammon
Become poor
Defy Mammon
Court disaster

History fades
We forget
Past mistakes
Eradicated

All news is fake news
There is no independent source
All have a tale to tell
All have an angle to sell

Peace brings a rise in mental illness
No enemy to distract us
We turn inward
And devour our own entrails

Kingdoms rise and empires fall
They fall upon the common man
The days are come when kings throw us to the dogs
