I Have Been Human

I have been victim
I have been villain
I have been kind
I have been cold
Young and old before time graced my bones
I have tried
But not all the time
I have lied
But also spoken truth
I have been ‘only human’
Just like you
But now I will be tried
Before mob rule.

Authors note:

Mob rule is looking for scapegoats. Politics is shifting to extremes. Minorities are the canaries in the coal mines. The scapegoats.

That’s what this poem is about. Humans. Humanity. The humanity that some people, some who are in power, want to take away.

Clown Show

I’m one carnival ride
from breaching through the circus
rage broiling beneath the surface
It’s all been said before
semantic satiation
got me dead
and I’m done with these thoughts inside my head
taking me away from all I’ve ever believed and said
I want to burn the world to the fucking ground
I’m done being the jester to you fucking clowns
the zeitgeist is under my skin
amorphous clowns snaking their way in
intercepting algorithmic spin
hate is the new order
empathy the sin
all these serpents folded within
the scales never fall far from their eyes
before they’re drinking the venom in
praising false idols
standing at their podiums
spewing prejudice
animus animating contempt
that got their teeth grinding in their heads
and all our skulls smiling behind the dread
all while they paint the world in red
whose blood will run then? It’s not them
they’re war lust scroungers, not men.


Brexit: Gorilla smells something fishy

I know a lot of people on the brexit side of the debate have suggested some conspiracy theory fears leading up the vote, meaning many of them were advising one another to vote in pen not pencil.

I don’t fault them for it, I think it’s a genuine concern rather than some ‘paranoid hysteria’

Despite brexit still winning, though the results were very close, I can’t help but still think something is amiss. Something about the way Boris Johnson and Fish Face  I mean Michael Gove and the way they reacted like they were at a funeral just seemed off to me. It’s almost like they expected to lose and hoped to lose. Why would that be?

I know some comment on that facebook site many of you humans are victims of (it’s eating your brains by the way), has been shared about how it’s a lose – lose situation for Boris and David Cameron standing down has checkmated him.

Maybe thats it.

But, and perhaps it’s a paranoid part of me (I admit i am not immune to some very paranoid behaviour and thoughts), i still feel there is more to this story. I don’t wish to be one of those conspiracy theorists where absolutely every event is a ‘false flag’ nothing if is ever real! If something bad happens to the opposing side, it’s a false flag to get people to sympathise and move to their side. But I certainly feel something is amiss about all this, and though someone may have put their finger on a little bit of what it is (that it’s actually ended up a lose- lose situation) i feel like there is something else, that I can’t put my finger on and that I haven’t yet seen anyone else do.
