War affliction


Spare me the time.
Spare me a dime.
I’m going down
a century at a time
with a thought …

loss is grave
because into this world
we have lost our soul.
And hence commence
to dig our own grave.

War affliction,
death denial,
pestilence …
no more than
a man made opulence.

The message is clear


Many people bring awareness
to an often less diligent mind
to organise, prepare, consider
and decide.

But when I look at worldly events
I cannot make an informed sense
of what in a man’s or woman’s brain
does not come to fully appreciate
the hell and high water
of these crazy deciding events.

War and criminal intent
bursting onto another’s lands
criminally a war crimes event.
No trial.
No outcry.
Business as usual.

Carry me forth


Carry me forth into a land of naught.
No arguments.
No strife.
No warring men.
No man and wife criminal deceit.
No substitute for love as lust.

I want to breathe the purity
of no more hateful greedy western views.
About:
who is a religious fundamental few,
who is right when wrong,
who prefers guns and shoots on sight,
ask questions to a bullet riddled corpse,
who sings and proclaims Biblical terms,
liberty and then blame.

Neither right nor clear.
Shoot at will and then satisfy
democracy for all
whether wanted or approved.

Solace, calm, equality
peace on earth for all
and loveliness, beauty,
peace-filled spaces
families, friends
relax and rest.

Peace and thoughtfulness
a mind of substance
creatively expressed.

The divine enters mindfulness.

Terror begets terror


Terror begets terror.
There appears no other way around
what is in effect a personal dilemma
as hate begins and ends with dismay.

Why does it arise?
Where does it end?
Who has the answers?
What if anything
does in the end achieve?

More hate and horror
fixated upon death.
More upon the innocent.
So, what then?

Birth defects.
Untenable deaths.
Polluted mindsets.
Rivers and waterways under siege.

How on earth does it happen
when each is a life
of equal understanding?

That life, all life cannot be relieved
when a death and injury
cannot again, as the whole
ever again be retrieved.

Sometime soon


Carcinogenic wars tread,
disease-like over every place.

Spaces of the world abused,
to the liberal West a disgrace.

Why in a more profoundly occupied space
can they, the arbiters think
with a genuine concern,
that if these atrocities were to occur
prolific upon them in the West,
what then of their reaction
as they now begin to terrorise the West?

Sometime soon a brilliant idea may occur.
Peace perhaps.
Or more to reality – nuclear.

Count your blessings now while able.
As soon perhaps
the turning of your table affairs
into another scare
unable to bear.

Fall out carcinogenic
nuclear.
