Kali Yuga Egregores And Elephants Are Rockin' The Earth Stadium

 

fine-tune the sunk cost fallacy
cartelize the normalcy bias
gamify the mass-formation psychosis
vilify extract exile the critical thinkers
blinker your inner eye-vision
hide from yourself your inalienable birthright
you of the vast and deep and timeless..

lower your consciousness to the grossly material
love and empathy
relegate to trinkets ornamental
ancient plant-based medicine delete alternative
petrol-based poison no need to only sip
swan-dive off the rockin fellas cornucopia of stings
more phantoms sure to fly
for they never seem to retire
incoming and incoming and incoming
blood-donate and transfuse micro-barbed wire
break your eyes tightly shut for free and permanent hire
blind marmosets for bio-bat soup hellfire
whiteout..

never accept for yourself the time to breathe in
in and out and in..
in and out and in..

or time to calmly and clearly reflect and think
to rationally reason then decide
to observe and consider and select and mindfully affect
to reconnect with your higher self
and to recognise the who and the what of everything you are..

to reach up and climb your silver cord
to be
connect
to stand beside your higher angels
they are you
they see you
your subtler bodies too
gifting you the chance to really see
unaffectedly be everything you..

no
never do any of that
never recognise the chance of you ever being
what are the odds
and yet here you are
seeing..
thou art that..

or
hit the floor
more mottled moth-wing serum for you
more waiter more
more spikes and sheering stings
more dancing masked fake nurses
more honey for delirious killer bees
succumb to all the engineered fear
and so bless all the gilded curses egregore
egregore with steel-capped claws on..

and believe it or do not
the relevant malevolent elephant in the room is still on it
finger lickin latex mittens
the clot thickens
titan pharma profits forever sky-rocket
even while appearing free-falling..

and if all else fails
we can continue to escalate to another world war
third time lucky and all that
to trash the earth for the sinking new atlantis
your good character will rise resurgent
rules-based order international law observance
join the circus
dying fervently for the specious 
well at least certain traditions are upheld for sovereign servants..

so do you still think you are somehow unique
you must disabuse yourself of that idea..
no you are but a mere carbon-based unit-freak
a carbon-based unit now so surplus
you are only a random chance thing
pointless darwinian bling
wherever you are you are nothing..
the zen koan for the twenty-first century..

and kali yuga is king
kali yuga is king
kali yuga is in the stadium
kali yuga is gonna play encore after encore after encore
kali yuga will shred and shred his meanest riffs
shred and shred his meanest riffs
until your very soul daggered bleeds out melted stiff
as conscious as cardboard..

so you want some more
i said do you want some more
hey especially you serfs right at the back
understand what i mean
i mean you do want some more..

Means Meant

 

frankly it was quite disturbing to me..
i could not work out what this date today is
as in what this date means
for although i apprehended that this date means something
definitely means something..

spilling my hip-flask of sun dials
in a time-slipped ship spun this baffled navigator
all relevant instruments temporarily had lost their bearings just so..

the incessant murmering repeating..
this date
this date definitely means something
something of real significance....

the clunk and clunk serenaded the mulling whispering..
i should know this
and i know i should know this
this should not feel like a cryptic puzzle waiting to be solved..

i reprimanded myself
what is wrong with me
what..

so scraping cogs whirring
i gazed about myself for a clue
so what does this date mean
nothing highlighted in my diary
yet looking down again at the whole page of empty
i recognised this date as..
without sounding overly dramatic
its own thing and present absence almost present..

the drum roll silent to the reveal..
an unsaid
an unsaid so unsaid
and from afar
came the whoosh of feathered time its flighted fluttering spear..

in simpler words
something of a tipped upside-down oh-and-oh
and how that pierced
pierced right through to this
long-gone by the river swept..

did the vanishing vanish itself
an abracadabra of gone..

a gone now meditating
circling out-of-body..

abracadabra
pick a number
any number..

New Gay Dr Who And The Unreconstructed Macro-Aggressive Daleks - A Short Poem As Modern Fable

Anymore The Ever More

 

it is always for the noble cause
all sides all time always
always and always for the noble cause
for there never is any other kind of cause
how could there be
why should there be
for the noble cause seems never too vague or too strange..

stoic spouters garrulous of crimpled cookie-cutter narratives
arid tears our emoting empty-betters spurt to dangle on command
you are fighting for the noble cause
the most noble cause in all our recent history
factually undoubtedly fortuitously the best one ever..

yes we concur..we concur..
but there is no other way to resolve..
sad to say there are no viable alternate solutions
yes and yes again they all have been exhaustively explored
move on and shift over and respect your experts
peace through pre-emptive war
so anyone professional or amatuer for smart-tennis..

no it would be counter-productive to encumber you with the granular
with such needless and distracting details
you would find it all so very tedious
so trust us as readily as most of you do your medical practitioners
allow your better judgement to enlighten you and lead you to..
to unquestioningly follow our vast procession of vetted experts..

so gently step in line but not over it
be proud be gallant be brave
never doubt that this cause is by far the noblest of them all
the noblest of them all by far..

in fact we envy you
yes really we do
oh yes how we wish we could be there
wish we could be there alongside you on the front line
but some of us must stay behind and take the flack
for duty is blind.. sniff..
did i hear an uninvited stirrer agitating at the back..

lest we forget..
our civilised world is again under existential threat
yes even more so than any of the previous times
yes we are witnessing the best worst threat to our..uh..
way of life
to our way of life™ quite probably ever..

so this calls for..
courage
fortitude
declawed fluffy kittens
pure and proud and silent mothers
father state
twenty-four hour garden centres
simple yet wholesome freeze-dried microwave cooking recipes
traditional brave widows
fluoride toothpaste
livid avenging orphans so steadfast
really brings a tear to my eye
avenging orphans so steadfast and itching to do the right thing
at the ready for when another noble cause arrives
and it will
of course it will
as my god is your witness i promise
the noblest orphans shall always receive their turn
and why would we have it any other way..

now..
as is the tradition
why not offer fulsome thanks to your loving creator
your wise and loving creator on the side of the righteous
so in other words on our side only
never on theirs
or theirs
or theirs
only ours/ yours
only we are the righteous
never those ones far away over there or over there
or occasionally even right here..

so without further ado
let us belt out candle in the wind
before that glad william blake ditty..

                    ******

and soon enough
it will be that time again
that time again for another encore
when again all the bellowed bosoms pneumatic will fill with pride
all sides
it will be what it was
the infernal-always
the nothing new
the déjà vu timeline
the penultimate last dance with last orders
a platinum platter of long-life popcorn for the select very few
complete with delightful clear views from fortified peace-loving private beaches..

anymore the ever more..
memorials and anthems and victory laps and tiaras
and veils
marching bands
grow-bags of musical gravel broadcast live
corpsed solemness from the blue bloods floating above
the fenced-off stench wafting thousands of parched and wilted flowers
tumbling teddy bear trinkets flung on power-washed pavements
trench and drone-fresh glide-bombed new dead men so honoured
such spells will most likely work their dreadful magick again
do what thou wilt..
yet another time with the seconded silt of phoned-in feeling..

and anti-war poems and prayers and sentiments..
reappropriate repurpose subvert invert as jerusalem
ad nauseum..

sacrifices™..
hellaciousness
machine-rinse and repeat
until the very last noble cause arrives..

ironic..
perhaps in a world filled only with buzzards and vultures
jackals and hyenas
will all the vipers finally swallow whole their own tails..

and should this soulful and splendid world burn entirely to ash
profoundly cheated ghosts will stumble over their blown-out dust epitaphs
and the last orphan will weep and serenade empty silence swept
tinkling and chiming the sweet music of that final victory..

Mindstir Manhattan

 

all the stunting skyscrapers sheer
all the prowling sliding walkways connect
the spiralled gabled gaps between intersect
never lift up
never lift up
take another leap of faith and logic
mindstir manhattan..

all the bowled numbing constructions
to-and-fro all the giant crane charioteers 
the compressed polymers bellow and boulder
crooked straight lines
crooked straight lines
skate around all the rabbit-hole shadows
mindstir manhattan..

nature abhors a vacuum
so let us flash-mob zero-gravity
celebrate losing our nature
mindstir manhattan..

neath the corked capstones
balconies with rattlesnake nets
the cactus roof-gardens beckon
mindstir manhattan..

strange the wilted sky diminished by sun-flecks
mezzanine murmurations
infatuate stained eyes sealed air imbibes
mindstir manhattan..

a certain destiny stirs the sails the melting
the shedding skin of serpents the ever-falling velvet
the quenching manna
mindstir manhattan..

where fear-weavers elevate the deadened alive
inversion escalators the ushered ride to earth-core sunrises
every single time
mindstir manhattan..

the misery index power windows buy buy buy
station-to-station tectonic plates levitate landslides
distractions tantalise infantilise
mindstir manhattan..

divide up-down-sideways to the nth degree
thought-bomb surgeons sever the soul purposely
the mindless songs march on
mindstir manhattan..

mindstir manhattan..
