Where do I stand…


Fractured society –
Where do I stand.
The life force inside is dying
and I have lost the will to survive
in such as this the West in overdrive.

GBM

The value of my life force, that I did require
is being burnt out as I here now stand.
The value of my worth hidden
too afraid to stand out into a vile
and unpredictable worthless band.

People I thought I knew, vocal and worthy
of what they observed, considered of worth
for the worth of each man , woman and child
value and virtues worthy to uphold
about humanity and the planet,
earth required to maintain life.

How is this possible
a fracture in a society claiming in arrogance
they are exceptional and gallant
when all the time deviousness is the upper-hand?

God bless the American way of life
that the foolishness of Westernised society
claims the best for every human life.
But how devious to proclaim
while earth is shattering
under the weight of human detritus
and the value of all mankind.

Who are you in the West


Brazenly I spoke to God
about the weather inclement
suffering the West’s burst
upon my shore
where life pleasant.

And even now
banging, bashing,
tampering and murder –
torturous to my eyes
and hearing worse …
shouting, banging, complaining,
blasphemous and raping.

What ever next …
I am but four and no more
and this, well this,
has hurt more than I,
at this stage of my life
know no reason or can express.

******

The battlements are down
my heart swollen, lost and torn.

Who are you in the West …
no heart and soul,
no decency,
no respect
for your own – humanity?

Not to me …


Not to me my dear heart
not to me
for I am a shallow man
with not a lot of future
ahead of me.

I’ve searched a terrain
long and wide.
I’ve undertaken journeys
across foreign soils.
I’ve ventured far
and seen all kinds –

but none so rich
as what inside I found.

A mind abundantly rich –
wealth beyond a human (’s) scope
more about life than another did
so poetically or prose wrote.

I know, along some narrow ford
I expect a more,
much more greater reward
but what I have found
although challenging at times
has altered every view and kind.

Taken Away…but given back in return


Broken shadows
creep across the walls
into a mind waiting anxiously
for an answer as to why
I am unable to be in love
with that person inside …

cleverly appropriate,
talent extreme,
modestly accomplished,
divinely, creatively inspired.

No mistake
beauty in extreme,
that is the picture
that awaits all
who are to brave
that utterly divine scene.

Who am I amidst this shame


Who am I amidst this shameful deed
of killing and maiming
with utter belligerence and speed?

Who am I that shifts this blameful
shameful disgusting deceitful deed?
Who acts on my behalf politically
and shamefully agrees
it is another not them
that causes harm to those without?

Who is it that sits and shouts,
cries out?
Not those with a voice of care
about the violence done everywhere,
but political expedients
to gain what?
Surely not to line those corporate crooks?

Life goes on and we prefer to deny.
Why I ask myself? Why?
Is there some form in the West –
a type of belligerence
that prefers to deny
as a way to arrest – all that shameful mess
carrying on around the globe?
Denying what in everyone’s mind
is a Westernised drone mentality.
A type of deceitful game play.
