"Asymmetry

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.

international / poetry / post

i watch words cut
paper in flames;
i see verse span the universe
in one movement.
i’ve witnessed scribes enslave
entire cultures with religious myths
and lies;
the power of the written
word
seems limitless at times
and yet at other times
words are completely
neutralised.

have u seen the effect of written
words on the American mind?
imagine a quill attempting to
engrave tungsten steel
or a cup of water tossed into
a blast furnace and u get an idea
of the imperviousness of the
American mind --
it’s akin to a ghost
entering a weightlifting
competition

though it’s all inconsequential,
i mention it only in passing,
i am watching syntax
lead the entire global population
to climate catastrophe.

have you ever wondered
why Americans
tolerate the merciless slaughter
of innocent civilians
and other crimes
committed by their leaders?
no!
well, either have i,
more important
issues steal my attention
like sitting on cemetery hill
watching moonlight writing poetry
on the surface of the sea
