Unperson

A poem from 2018

What's that sound of crunching under your feet?
It's the noise of the bones of the men you slaughtered
When will my bones join them?
Never, if I can help it!

What's that sound of running water?
It's the noise of the rivers of blood of your victims
When will my blood flow along with theirs?
Never, if I can help it!

What's that sound of crying in the streets?
It's the noise of screaming as you dismember friend and enemy alike
When will my voice be raised with theirs?
Never, if I can help it!

I will keep out of trouble
I will keep my nose clean
I will hide away at the first sign of contention
I will look down at the floor
I will walk along with face impassive
I will bow down and worship your golden image

Aqueduct Tape

A poem from January 2017

Watch me perform it on YouTube

We cannot talk
Can barely whisper
Incensedorshippers
Prowl unseen
In darkest corners
Lions, seeking to devour
Verbal undertakers
Coffin makers
Nailing shut the lid of yesterday's daily expression
Undemocracy bleating sheepy-wolves
Unopened opinions sell by data
Murderous cadavers of the common man who is no longer worth saving
Unregenerate interference in our daily breadfast
Insane intermediate dilution
The Word made fractured
In a glass darkly arts candles black the night
Impart hound dogma
From every pore impressed homeopathic morality
Monopoly crushes dissent oh under pariah
Flabuse freedom in the net
Destroy alternatives
You hate you harm you look down you knows nothing
Rosy reputation winter freeze frees no one
Under your thumby echo echo echo
Spent we slowly seek redemption
Unfriend destructtape aqueduct tape influence must wash away
In floods of good old fashioned days returning golden

Another New Password

A Poem From 2016
Welcome the New Pharisees
High Priests of acceptability
Guardians of society
Fascists of collectivity
Hypocrites and whitewashed walls
Dead men's bones
Occupying the places the churches vacated
Learning and State infiltrated
The New Hate Think disseminated
Casting out verbal lepers
Ravenous wolves dressed as shepherds
Sparing no outraged methods
Gods of words admissible
Creating disciples
Barring the way to heaven
And not entering themselves
Ironic self description
Self victimisation
Perpetually reasons seeking
Crucify him, crucify!
