Nail Your Aura For Subprime Nirvana

 

highly disruptive technologies
introduce..

crackdown..
crackdown on civil space..
digital activities
surveil..

anti-establishment populism
framed and funded
engineer the feeling of..
feeling left behind..

and teeth grinders have at it
while the gilded float and giggle and glide
from murky gated glades on high..

nationalism/ nativism verses newer identarianism
atheism/ materialism verses organised religion verses..
my-way highway verses your-way highway..
intensify fear-based sentiments
all those isms pardon my scepticism..
we can all lay claim to be the real victims
all amid the breakdown of social protection systems..

nurture discord
wrong-think and group-think
maintain anguish
complete
continual
sprinkle ritual..

deception-shape simple synoptic
the influx swarms
proclamations rouse
refine the signal
pre-echo-encode
hyperstition tantalise and buttress
overt and shadowed
summon..

press play for unreal..
traverse jumbled worlds tightly woven
clip your wings
pray for rescue and revenge and redemption
the glow-worm cathedral subprime offer remains open
there are only limited places available in heaven..

The So-Called Talent..

 

...so called
loudly they sniff
and ardently snort at their fructified functionary selves
the welcome party tap-dances treacle
a suffocating crateful of thawing life-frozen prawn
smarting in twanged air the full course deliquescing..

chauffeur-delivered into the parking maw
the roped-off motorcade rumbles to silence marinates
near away from the piss-poor doors
the reluctant hyper-aware bobbing paladins half obscure.

the so-called talent so
called
gales of open arms welcome him broken egg whisks
smog fantasy-fangled
rear up to phantom attack imagined lobster pincers with cuff links..

he is sat handsomely clad in elegant italian linens
he flows it
their open hands bare knuckles paper
whip-up the spray-washed chemical-soiled asphalt
the heavy carriage doors unfling satisfyingly low thuds open..

a few bat-wing beats..
plastic surgery laughter humps air like gravity fake breasts
outline scissor-and-stone handshakes
the talent with the added appellation so-called seems okay
polite and professional actually quite warm and friendly
but you know
you never now with these people
you know what they say..
                                                  ..uh..oh yeah..

the man tenderly slain with so-called and talent
an hour or so later
leaves the building
all done and dusted without any fuss
they heave a huge pregnant sigh of relief
he airily waves goodbye
but only after chatting for a few minutes..

lose themselves
on the coattails of the vapour trail catwalk
bitter dream envy whimsy
heavy cost
who is lost inside whose bubble
gently as he gazes out the slow-moving window
they stare back at themselves ineluctably sliding stage left..

The Tangling Machine


hate influencer/ anti-hate hate influencer
bang-bang
hello inverted synergistic yin-yang
negative energy harnessed propagated
full-spectrum gouge-empowerment celebrated..

the dimmer switch arcs from doubtless to loudest
there contrived dualities conquer and colonise
gild the fog
fallacies entice the scripted barren scribes
cookie-cutter divisions conjure adjacent
oracular abracadabras chalk-line contortionists
zap/ zap back
tick and tick tick-tock..

pearl-clutching hate as virtue
siphoned humans husbanded through chutes just so
ever simply almost miraculously
for the who knows
who wields the pendulum
who stirs the vortex
who swirls seduced swine down the plughole..

phantom polarities magnetise proximate
black holes spin and strobe magnetar light
ignite the moths the mice

same ads for the throughput divided
subscribe thumbs-up like and share
share the hate/ anti-hate hate
frames of reference laid down
fray small to smallest
keep it simple-minded
taste the alphabet spit sonnets
fear-driven enraged content gladdens the sirs and madams
cordially invited to take handstands in prefabricated sinking sands..

feel those abs
more ads
ass-backward prophets point fervently
concern-troll the maddened fraternities backfiring
never questioning what and who undergirds the pyramid
the capstone hidden beneath
tenderly polished by the uninterrupted undersea river serpentine..


algo-recommended parallel proclamations provocations
impel scorpionic mindlessness
the zen of the recreational slayer
distorted reflections reverberate the foamed echo chambers..

safe spaces for liminal face palms
the sightless reared lick
pluck their inner eyelids closed-open
pissants distort themselves grotesquely livid lurid..

dragooned keyboard pixel-breathing dragons
communitarian commode commandos
do not forget to subscribe
leave a comment below

defenestrate
defenestrate the teething twenty-first century way
thumbs up and like and share
more ads burgeon the bludgeoning lucked-out
high on supplied despair..

shrieking self-flatterers-in-chiefs
lords and ladies of narrow shrill fiefdoms
arrows boomerang the churn
hunt taunt hurt haunt
one so-called community on another mocked
triggered/ triggered
the tethered flail mesmerised
tick and tick again
monetised
same ads for..
you know..

lassoed chariouteers race the circus circuits
all the unrealised selves turn on fixed random targets
never make eye contact with the innermost
out of alignment
right over the misdirected
lock-on
and bullseye for the blinded
egregores lance in the deadly dance of mirages..

the summoned cloaked in dead air on stilts
eyes and ears hyper-weary smoke
wailing fingertips tarantulas
puce rage slimes through a million keyboards
the streaming sun kisses revenue collectors
lustrous maggots bathe on faraway beaches
but of course
for maggots ripe peaches..

the haters and anti-hate haters
feed and feel themselves into the tangling machine
feel the burn of lathered mildew
honey-glazing fattened stick-men and women

the marionettes effortlessly lure revenue
vast oceans alchemise the lava spew..

pursued crumbs scatter down on cage fighters
job done
thumbs-up the correlated controlled platforms
what could go wrong
everything and nothing
so on and on the dynamo spins and spins
quite the early twenty-first century thing..

The Haiku Song


the act of searching
the seeker marks  the absence
vultures discover..

the seeker travels
over here there everywhere
yearning and hurting..

the seeker breathes in
out and in and uncovers
the never missing..

the divine within
the creator in action
the connection..

the seeker lets go
learns to trust in the process
miracles appear..

Abattoir Aid


in a particular bomb-bronzed area
one we need not mention by name
within the territory without a country
not so anciently slain..

the unfettered policy
     exile and abandon them
           condemn and contain them
                   dehumanise and slay them
                           disease and distress them
                                        burn and starve them..

and then..and then..
then sponsor and direct the repurposed aid-giving
via so-called emergency aid centres
absolutely nothing shady to see here
nothing in all its grotesque verdant splendour..


the garish-coloured presence
the helping fist camouflaged in the velvet of high-viz
the bleeding hearts replaced
safely decapitated

summarily despatched for pleasure
at leisure

amounting to a zero
a zero less than a decaying world full of uh whatever..

powdered soup
stale bread loaves
and melting water bottles
all the music..
corral waves of desperate and beleaguered easy targets deceived..

the benighted
emaciated dehydrated and ragged
swarm under the punishing pummelling swelter
raised waving hands of crushed bodies wilt
outside these emergency aid centres

a few freebies are lazily flung at them
like they do at corporate entertainment events
good for the teevee
drip-drip compassion-smoothies for the soon-to-be attrited
redacted at warp speed..


to the screams
ratatat shots ring out and echo and reverberate

as video-game marksmen shoot them down
fish slain in an imploding barrel
the shocked and bleeding collapse and concertina
carrion with nowhere to go
marooned within their open prison bestrewn with skeleton bones
ratatatatat..ratatatat..

hunger games
without a hint of the sexy
abattoir aid
prophecy-made
the déjà vu of stacked deception the recursive ritual
binoculars blinded deckchairs included..


and by dozens each and every day
the starving numbers lessen
by dozens a day
efficient
cost effective
no body bags required
the dead here often dress super-casual..


abattoir aid
long-life bullets etched with the unnamed
as they pass the finishing line of their use-by date
unannounced..

and the collective kiss of fate
will only count as a sliver of a statistical point of data

anyone melts into everyone
a whole one of  minus no-one

since many decades long gone
abattoir aid..

A Couple of New Gadgets/Widgets


Yes, I have added a couple more to this site - a contact form and follower button.

If you encounter any problems with either, please let me know. In the dim and distant past, I removed the follower button after experiencing a few issues with its functionality. Let's try again. Followers should be automatically informed when a new poem is uploaded; some might find that feature useful.

And, thanks again to the growing army of regular visitors who already have this destination bookmarked.

I'm still not monetising my works. Corporate advertisers must be weeping, I bet!

Performance poetry organisers - no need to contact me as I don't  have the time - or inclination, at least presently, to perform live readings.

Again, many thanks to each and every one of you for being a part of this - and for spreading the word far and wide. You're incredible!

Cheers muchly!

Insect Heretics Of Dune Eurovision

 

annhialation strikethrough
extermination strikethrough
redefine re-frame
revalue and redeem
so let us call all this
all this necessary unpleasantness
let us call all this..hark..de-escalation
honourable compelling sustainable
and let us call this..all this..
a new kind of ceasefire
the only kind in all honesty..

the levelled playing field
the de-escalation tamed
perhaps a little ochre-tinted
the scarlet wine flows brightly
on our terms so yours also..dear staunch allies
and here we will remain..

witness prime land revived virgin
where gleaming glass cities shall spiral
the potency of our vision on full display
and at long last
finally and fully realised
uninhibited..
since forever we follow our signs..

white phosphorous eyes
alchemise
marbled melt fossilise
flattened and vanish
glory to our brave bulldozer riders..
..all to bring
and very soon
the magic of sacrifices
revised maps with realistic new boundaries
fruition..

and all of you
all our dear friends and free-world leaders
are cordially invited..
to alight upon the shabby-chic-as-new
as green as the greenest bamboo
beach-front duplexes with infinity pools
all of this and more eagerly await you all..

..enabled with munitions you kindly donate
the best things in our lives
so free
so generously gifted by your very good countries
sincerely thank you
and thank you all so sincerely
you know who you are
thank you all so..
you will be rewarded in this world..

and we know that you know
that even their olive groves
are potential olive groves of terror
not for long though
gloves off for sustainable peace
the dreamy new peaceful settlements
will flourish there
and there and there..
lovely oranges..

many settlements have already matured and grown
thriving on land long rescued reclaimed locked-in
many decades ago..

propulsive hovering spiders
neutralise densely-infested cinder block creatures
those ragged slivering lurers
we spray-cleanse
we ignite
and all the feral phantoms
tumble inside-out
somersault from thickly smoking toppled tower blocks
we turn their day into one long night
one long night
all to prepare and pave the way
ceremonies and ceremonies more
including our wonderful eurovision
why not
more..more..

yes and yes..
their olive trees had to be removed and uprooted
an unobtrusive clear line of sight provides
a.i. smart drone swarms..
..seem almost sentient almost alive
programmed to autonomously target and decide
and bye-bye cold-blooded heat forms
cleared
organs removed
no autopsies ever required..

a history lesson..
already many..
very many peasants abandoned their fanatical farmsteads
they fled leaving behind their pathetic belongings
only soiled mattresses carried atop ramshackle taxis
with a few bin bags filled with nostalgic detritus..

look..
the so-called annexed..
voluntarily displaced themselves
they had a choice
they could long ago have gone somewhere..
somewhere..else..
like their ancestors of previous decades..
..strolled away with a light suitcase
after a little gentle prodding and encouragement..
so..

instead now they breed and churn
churn and spit out spiteful venomous infants
insects worms
enemies against our presence
including the ones born covertly in canvas tents
yes and this is why we call this policy
calibrated pre-emptive self-defence..

look at their pregnant mothers
what kind of incubators are these
the question clearly answers itself
their militant midwives harbour foetus-shields
foetus-shields of grievance and terror..

and so you can see why
why we must..
though a little sadly
honestly gladly decommission the breeders
and the incubated..

moving on..
sanitation plants..
okay listen..
their sanitation plants
are factually speaking
sanitation plants hydrating fighters
water pipelines
                          tunnels
                                      bad
we need to neutralise all the threat vectors..
woke liberals do you now understand
oh okay good..very good
very glad to help you finally see sense
quite frankly some of you need psychiatric help..

finally dear friends
you must not empathise
with these nixed do-gooding medical monsters
their cells of fake emergency responders
and their even more militant food-aid convoys
supplying so-called distribution centres
distribution centres
slap-bang in what we announced yesterday
are designated combat zones
come on now
what a place to locate them
they should have known..

many thanks too for the bunker-buster missiles
we know how much you enjoy
participating in clearing out their refugee camps
and discreet-veiling
all similar non-televised events
including unaliving journalists
and deploying other novel euphemisms
and tiny back-page eulogies
for the promotion of lobby optics
it all helps
it all helps..

and then and only then
and only if left to ourselves in peace
and only after
we clear away the rubble
we evict the rag-tag squatters
we will cleanse-cremate the emaciated
with the rest relocated to our chosen destination
only then might we even consider negotiation
and frankly perhaps not even then..
we have never apologised for being perfectionists..

thank you dear civilised world
you all stand firmly alongside us
ours to remain
organised shoulder to elbow..

on with the de-escalation
on with the show of arms
the sustainable kind of de-escalation
a new kind of ceasefire
evolution
evolution is ours
always ours..

Sweet Perfumed Lady Of Pleiades (Escape Through Arcturus)

 

my soul racks my mind
as my mind wrecks my soul
and as my spirit flags
and wretchedly wobbles and wildly oscillates
planet earth
this salivating snarling monday of the entire universe
marathon-binges on us always unsated
demolishing then regurgitating all the masticated
over and over and over
perhaps actuating the intoxicated vicious abominable wish
of a maximalist proto-machiavellian demiurge
though who knows
okay thanks for listening
rant over..

 ..sweet perfumed lady of pleiades
and for that outburst please beg my pardon
hypnotise me with your crystal-tipped pendulums
ahem lady-alien yes i am a gentleman
but you make me feel so enervated
i keenly seek out your enlightenment..
and might i venture
that even your hybrid lizard-mantid beings
are not improbably distance-healing vegans
militantly sans eggnog undoubtedly
no need to confirm or deny my intuitive impression..

cosmic deep-thrills seeker
kindly provide me with pertinent answers
or at least point me in the right direction
to the right questions
or would that seem like crib notes-cheating..

ah darling
yes
your journey of discovery
must primarily be searched through self
although it is said
one external portal out is by arcturus
and once passed
you may forever escape
escape your interminably never-ending recursive cycles..

oh and by the bye
why not try astral out-of-body sojourning
you might give that kite a serious fly
though you must only very carefully rise
all the while keeping spiritual hygiene firmly sighted
to protect your subtle bodies and higher mind..

and as an aside
the eyes that glimmer into the deep-inside brilliantly shine
so sublime are the depths of inner-space flight
so climb pilot climb
stay mindful that both in this world and the next
you carefully discern the enticing lights encountered
for one exit may lead to many entrances
and unnecessary detours and dalliances
are not what benevolent and wise orbs have ordered
so best be particular and prepared..

so play your favourite silent playlist
vanquish your ventriloquising  tyrants
and on my sixth moon
glide upon saffron lagoon mist quietude by my side
by my side
ride in my moscovium-powered amethyst balloon chariot
and from there observe at a safe distance
your sun pulsate then strobe and flash
a truly miraculous event your ancient seers spoke of
that presently you materialist neanderthals heartily mock
though not for long
mark my words
not for long
you watch..

there and there
the new realm will rise
the resonating chamber earth
the pure shining sapphire in rebirth
the resplendent rarefied ringing octave
that shall ignite the celebration of all ages
power to the sages
power to the sages
power to the sages..

Only The Leaves

 

trees rustle of a distant sea
rustle of light
the breath of light endless on leaves
and afar waves crash
sand slips through the fingers
the dust splashes spray on cymbals..

blown leaves
whisper like a prayer of a distant sea
seashell breeze canopies open up the mystery
and a metaphysical times-table
a canopy of blown leaves by itself equals..

..only the leaves
or a rolling auming sea of heavenly coastline
am i hearing an otherworldly seashore masquerading
masquerading as soundscape
of lightly levitating branches fluttering leaves..

are our dearly departed ones watchful
as they lounge on the pillowed aether
tenderly watchful
from a pristine beach of the beyond..

a pristine beach of the beyond
that when upwardly gazed upon
gazed upon from these dense air-drenched depths
equals the weight of flesh and bones
holding a feather
a feather suffering a touch of the bends
a touch of the upward spiral..

..my upward gaze
the gently spinning leaves
and a distant sea
hey
please send a postcard
how are you doing up there
and where do you wish us both to be..
