"Asymmetry

Keyboard"


Google, your data suppression methods are obvious, easily recorded, abysmally inept and generally pathetic.

The simple fact that you actively engage in suppressing this and other alternative news sites means we have won and TRUTH will prevail in the end.

Obscurity
by sal Sunday, Apr 14 2013, 10:22am
international / poetry / post

i gave up being mysterious
and obscure,
now i speak plainly
and write in plain verse

i am more misunderstood
now than ever
but i am not deterred
i persist - there are other imperatives
to consider
how does one have babies
naturally without a man?

one day i will be understood
by a man that will accept me for
the tormented, irrational bitch
that i am

i remain undaunted
i always display my bright plumage
to dull-feathered men --
it is they who actually have the brightest
plumage but they are easily persuaded;
they have yet to storm the Capitol
and demand a proper
forensic investigation
into the 9/11 fraud

the bird of paradise whirs
and shimmers,
in orgiastic delight
every fertile female
in the canopy is distracted --
there is nothing mysterious
in its outlandish display,
its need compels it to
deceive with dance,
colour and verve
