I was fifteen when my father was knighted and we moved to an estate near the castle
I began working in the court as his squire. The months speed as I learn. I sharpen swords and shine boots; I listened to the servants stories of court gossip and political intrigue. My favorite though was the court magician who talked about lightning and planets. I knew each constellation in the night sky. I was sixteen and my father was killed. The older ones were afraid of me then. All the boys in the castle met in front of the blacksmiths forge after chores were finished. We fought each other sometimes one on one, other times in piles of bodies and limbs. Black eyes, split lips and broken knuckles were common. In fact a visiting duke once noticed out loud about all the servant boys having black eyes. They were badges of honor of course, worn with pride.
Sometimes we would sneak into the cellar and drink ale. I was a boy without a care in the world until I turned seventeen years of age. One night I escaped the castle with my bow to hunt. A storm came off of the sea, I had not noticed it rolling but it struck with fury. I was lost and soaking wet and the cold was setting in. Lightning flashed and I could no longer see the moon.
Something attacked me. I remember nothing of it except waking later leaned against the castle wall. No marks on my body. I became violent and detached. I shattered the jaw of a boy one afternoon. All the court laundry girls were watching us from the windows, and he cursed my father. I was blind with rage, and it was beautiful. I never felt so alive in my life. I could smell the sweat of the boy as I slammed a right hook into his jawline. I could smell the blood and it's sensual dripping warmth on my knuckles. It took every bit of strength not to lick it from my hand. I dreamed of it that night in my room. It's aroma melded with the memories already as clear as a painting in my mind. Each detail elongated and dramatized with a feral edge.
The dreams were haunting at first, but I soon relished them. I dream of the moon first always reflecting in the lake brimmed by ancient pines. Then I was chasing a deer or a rabbit through the brambles and down old paths that only beasts know. Then, the taste of warm blood in my mouth, the pulsing of lifeblood beneath my teeth.

In my dream I watch the phases of the moon cycling through the dark. Until, on the full moon. I was lying in my bed, hoping for the pleasure of the dreams again. I was warm all at once and colors began to brighten. Then it seemed as if daylight were pouring in through the window although surely it was the moon. I gazed at her. Until within me the locks began to break, and it seemed as if chains were falling from my being. Until blackness, so infinite and complete filled with the most terrible and beautiful visions I had ever experienced.
I could taste everything in the universe and I watched the wind blow through the pines from a tall rock rustling the needles into a symphony of movement and sound. Such beauty I have never known. Then a golden flash between the trees.
An old buck moved through the boughs. I tested his scent on the wind he smelled of earth and roots. Then I am chasing him.
Into a clearing he staggers as I toy with him. He breaths deeply, his sides heaving. I can see his hot breath as a cloud in the cold air. Then his cry, and the spray arterial. The taste of life.


I awaken leaned naked against a pine. Claw marks adorn the trunks of the great trees around me. Deep claw marks as if a bear...
I was terrified
I was alone

I work in the stables. I lock myself away and I feel guilt  for the pleasure of my dreams. As if they were tangible sins.
Then the kings daughter visited me and asked about the foal that was born earlier that morning. She was curt and spoke down to me. My chest was hot. I was nervous that I would insult her and be executed. We watched the newborn stand next to its mother. I thought she was watching me from the corner of her eye, but her next words proved me wrong."How dare you look at me, slave."
She returned the next day, and the next each day she seemed more angry than the last. She and her handmaid wanted horses readied for a ride. The king arrived and I dropped to my knees in fear. "You boy will protect these girls as they ride."
The hole in my chest fills with melted iron, as the young princess thanks her father with a kiss on the cheek. He leaves and my anger is complete. She will have me killed; ****** girls will probably ride directly down a hill and break a neck. Then who shall be blamed

They controlled the horses in a strangely feminine manner. Their sweet purring to the horses made them flick their ears. Their light touch turning the great beasts with ease. Such beauty I had never seen. Their delicate figures like full bloomed flowers and the hanging tassels of silk blow in the wind. Her scent...unmistakable.
She watches me.

The night before the full moon I was slipping into the beauty of the dreams. Sleep pulled me downward, and suddenly a small rap on the door.
I fully expected guards upon the other side. They somehow had found out I was the beast and Would cut my head from my shoulders.
My heart races as the door opens. A shadow slips inside as I crack the door. It pushes past me. The scent...
She stands in the moonlight of the window with dark eyes piercing. Thank the gods it was not a full moon.
I light a small lamp with shaking hands and she slides towards me, removing her dark cloak showing her nightdress. The curves of her body...not left up to the imagination against the silk.
My head swims, and the beast inside me growls deeply. She pushes herself against me, but my mind races to the headsman's axe, to the kings eyes.
I push her away and hand her her cloak. Telling her it was much too late for such foolishness.
I am a slave after all...

I could not sleep
but the dreams slipped in anyway
Like leaves in the wind they twist and float
Pulling me into their strange likeness
I am enthralled by the the scent of a nightdress
And the warmth of a body pressed against me
In moonlight I am bathed
My hands with blood soaked


She does not visit me at the stalls, and I do not see her face peaking at us from the tower window as we wrestle in the courtyard.
Inside me a strange ache at her absence. I drink ale that night and stumble to my room. The door I forget to lock, and the windows swung wide.
So cloudy
I could not stop
The feeling so pure
I could not banish it

She was found by her handmaiden in pieces around the bedroom. Her white night dress shredded and stained scarlet.
Twenty dead soldiers, each with their throats torn out or their heads smash in. As if some bear they whispered...
I was found naked out in the wheat fields covered in blood. They followed the trail straight to me.

*He stands before the king making his statement
Explaining how he was attacked by some beast
Only two months 'ore. He explains how he could not control.
The king shakes with rage. A black cover is brought to hide his face.
He goes quietly to the block and death. His body burned to ash

Ötzi

Even in my long sleep,
I dreamed of this.
A waking by strangers
A grasping of my wrist
And I wrench it back from them!

My dreams beneath the ice
Were warm, in summer vales,
Where children played
Under my watch, old but hale.
An easy thing, my guard was then.

I tend sore limbs as supper warms,
And aching joints inflamed,
And muscles tough as ibex horn;
For a while I can be lame.
And see my copper ax in the red-gold flame.

I dream of how it came to me,
After vanquishing a headsman.
Intruders fell before me!
And I earned this talisman.
Weapon, scepter, power of my clan!

Then I was sent across the mountain,
A lone journey I knew well.
To trade with kinsmen in a the northern glen,
With gifts, arrow shafts and tales to tell,
Never guessing betrayal that walked behind.

Alone upon the highest peak
I ate my last meal by the fire.
To me the gods seemed trying to speak,
As men I knew climbed higher.
We had words, but they were my kin!

In my long sleep I wonder why
These false friends turned to hate.
I’d watched over them, yet they cried
That my rule was done, and it was too late,
So I turned from them and faced my doom.

I crossed the last protruding rock
And now felt safe from them.
But then a blow, beneath my heart: a shock!
I fell in a soft, snowy glen,
And then a dull pain in my skull…and black.

Beneath me, I can feel the ax;
They’d never take that from me!
Nor my arrows, quivers and packs;
And risk the fury of the gods.
They’d taken my power and left a naked soul.

Five-thousand years I spent beneath the frost,
Until I was found and freed.
My scattered ions watched, angry and lost.
They dragged my body from its bed
And my soul from another life.

Now part of me lies in a crypt
Another frozen tomb.
If only I hadn’t run and slipped,
All those ages ago,
I would now lie in sacred ground,
Back in the earth to which all are bound.
Based on the 5,000 year-old, frozen body of a Neolithic man, called  Ötzi, resting under a glacier on the Austrian/Italian border. He has been widely studied and they theorize that he came from a transitional community at the base of the Alps in Italy, who were early farmers but also hunter-gatherers. When his stomach was finally autopsied, they found a meal of grain, mutton and greens. He was about 45 years old when he was most likely killed by an arrow in the back along with a blow to the head. He fell and bled to death between two large rocks, which kept his body safe from the moving glacier. Two hikers found him and assumed he was a recent ****** victim. The latter is true. His body is now kept in a temperature controlled refrigerator, taken out only briefly for various studies.

If a tale need be tattled,
the snawky Snawk would arise.
With its snickley tongue of arsenic blue,
and loathsome gamboge eyes.

To the King of the stickley Snicklers,
the Snawk would spill his talk.
But scuttlebutt was all t'was,
for he was but a snawky Snawk.

Might you ask
who am I be?
I am a jawky Jawk
who talks incessantly

of the snawky Snawk,
with his snickley tongue,
and his breath of kyarn,
and Beelzebub dung.

You see I knows of him all too well
and well he knows of me.
Invidious brothers, one of the other,
same Mother both have we.

Now the snawky Snawk spins yarns
so dark and thick and odious.
One might find his fatuous canards
to be though flatulent, commodious.

But If ye be a gawky Gawk
of the snawky Snawk beware,
For his loathsome camboge eyes
can squinny a ribald stare.

To your knees his gaze will bring you,
you'll tell all the tales you know.
Then he'll tattle them to the Snickler King
and off to the headsman you will go.

That is, unless, you know the ballad
the Snawk is most offended by.
'bout the frowzy blowzy stable boy
with only just one eye.

He lost his eye in a snickering match
twixt The Snickley King and he.
But got the best of the old nabob,
for he could cachinnate you see.

He did cachinnate and aggravate,
till the old King did concede.
The stable boy was the better of the two,
his tongue cut like a snickersnee.

For the frowzy blowzy stable boy
was not able to tell a lie,
nor could he mince his words with honey,
of the truth he could not hide.

And if one day you find yourself
in the land of the quidnunc kith.
Shun the snickley Snicklers,
and their sniggering King forthwith.

But if ye meet up with the stable boy
though untidy he may be.
Dare not tattle of a soul,
he'll let fly his snickersnee.

And remember well, the ballad he sings,
of the King he did do down.
Drink in its waspy strain and keep it nigh,
lest the snawky Snawk cometh 'round.

An attempt at a Lewis Carroll style poem.
If you are interested in the definitions of the made up words, and the ones I had to dig for, please let me know.
Inner not outer, without gnash of teeth
  Or weeping, save quiet sobs of some who pray
  And feel the Everlasting Arms beneath,--
Blackness of darkness this, but not for aye;
  Darkness that even in gathering fleeteth fast,
  Blackness of blackest darkness close to day.
Lord Jesus, through Thy darkened pillar cast,
  Thy gracious eyes all-seeing cast on me
  Until this tyranny be overpast.
Me, Lord, remember who remember Thee,
  And cleave to Thee, and see Thee without sight,
  And choose Thee still in dire extremity,
And in this darkness worship Thee my Light,
  And Thee my Life adore in shadow of death,
  Thee loved by day, and still beloved by night.
It is the Voice of my Beloved that saith:
  "I am the Way, the Truth, the Life, I go
  Whither that soul knows well that followeth"--

O Lord, I follow, little as I know;
  At this eleventh hour I rise and take
  My life into my hand, and follow so,
With tears and heart-misgivings and heart-ache;
  Thy feeblest follower, yet Thy follower
  Indomitable for Thine only sake.
To-night I gird my will afresh, and stir
  My strength, and brace my heart to do and dare,
  Marvelling: Will to-morrow wake the whirr
Of the great rending wheel, or from his lair
  Startle the jubilant lion in his rage,
  Or clench the headsman's hand within my hair,
Or kindle fire to speed my pilgrimage,
  Chariot of fire and horses of sheer fire
  Whirling me home to heaven by one fierce stage?
Thy Will I will, I Thy desire desire;
  Let not the waters close above my head,
  Uphold me that I sink not in this mire:
For flesh and blood are frail and sore afraid;
  And young I am, unsatisfied and young,
  With memories, hopes, with cravings all unfed,
My song half sung, its sweetest notes unsung,
  All plans cut short, all possibilities,
  Because my cord of life is soon unstrung.
Was I a careless woman set at ease
  That this so bitter cup is brimmed for me?

  Had mine own vintage settled on the lees?
A word, a puff of smoke, would set me free;
  A word, a puff of smoke, over and gone:...
  Howbeit, whom have I, Lord, in heaven but Thee?
Yea, only Thee my choice is fixed upon
  In heaven or earth, eternity or time:--
  Lord, hold me fast, Lord, leave me not alone,
Thy silly heartless dove that sees the lime
  Yet almost flutters to the tempting bough:
  Cover me, hide me, pluck me from this crime.
A word, a puff of smoke, would save me now:...
  But who, my God, would save me in the day
  Of Thy fierce anger? only Saviour Thou.
Preoccupy my heart, and turn away
  And cover up mine eyes from frantic fear,
  And stop mine ears lest I be driven astray:
For one stands ever dinning in mine ear
  How my gray Father withers in the blight
  Of love for me, who cruel am and dear;
And how my Mother through this lingering night
  Until the day, sits tearless in her woe,
  Loathing for love of me the happy light
Which brings to pass a concourse and a show
  To glut the hungry faces merciless,
The thousand faces swaying to and fro,
  Feasting on me unveiled in helplessness

  Alone,--yet not alone: Lord, stand by me
  As once by lonely Paul in his distress.
As blossoms to the sun I turn to Thee;
  Thy dove turns to her window, think no scorn;
  As one dove to an ark on shoreless sea,
To Thee I turn mine eyes, my heart forlorn;
  Put forth Thy scarred right Hand, kind Lord, take hold
  Of me Thine all-forsaken dove who mourn:
For Thou hast loved me since the days of old,
  And I love Thee Whom loving I will love
  Through life's short fever-fits of heat and cold;
Thy Name will I extol and sing thereof,
  Will flee for refuge to Thy Blessed Name.
  Lord, look upon me from thy bliss above:
Look down on me, who shrink from all the shame
  And pangs and desolation of my death,
  Wrenched piecemeal or devoured or set on flame,
While all the world around me holds its breath
  With eyes glued on me for a gazing-stock,
  Pitiless eyes, while no man pitieth.
The floods are risen, I stagger in their shock,
  My heart reels and is faint, I fail, I faint:
  My God, set Thou me up upon the rock,
Thou Who didst long ago Thyself acquaint
  With death, our death; Thou Who didst long ago

  Pour forth Thy soul for sinner and for saint.
Bear me in mind, whom no one else will know;
  Thou Whom Thy friends forsook, take Thou my part,
  Of all forsaken in mine overthrow;
Carry me in Thy *****, in Thy heart,
  Carry me out of darkness into light,
  To-morrow make me see Thee as Thou art.
Lover and friend Thou hidest from my sight:--
  Alas, alas, mine earthly love, alas,
  For whom I thought to don the garments white
And white wreath of a bride, this rugged pass
  Hath utterly divorced me from thy care;
  Yea, I am to thee as a shattered glass
Worthless, with no more beauty lodging there,
  Abhorred, lest I involve thee in my doom:
  For sweet are sunshine and this upper air,
And life and youth are sweet, and give us room
  For all most sweetest sweetnesses we taste:
  Dear, what hast thou in common with a tomb?
I bow my head in silence, I make haste
  Alone, I make haste out into the dark,
  My life and youth and hope all run to waste.
Is this my body cold and stiff and stark,
  Ashes made ashes, earth becoming earth,
  Is this a prize for man to make his mark?

Am I, that very I who laughed in mirth
  A while ago, a little, little while,
  Yet all the while a-dying since my birth?
Now am I tired, too tired to strive or smile;
  I sit alone, my mouth is in the dust:
  Look Thou upon me, Lord, for I am vile.
In Thee is all my hope, is all my trust,
  On Thee I centre all my self that dies,
  And self that dies not with its mortal crust,
But sleeps and wakes, and in the end will rise
  With hymns and hallelujahs on its lips,
  Thee loving with the love that satisfies.
As once in Thine unutterable eclipse
  The sun and moon grew dark for sympathy,
  And earth cowered quaking underneath the drips
Of Thy slow Blood priceless exceedingly,
  So now a little spare me, and show forth
  Some pity, O my God, some pity of me.
If trouble comes not from the south or north,
  But meted to us by Thy tender hand,
  Let me not in Thine eyes be nothing worth:
Behold me where in agony I stand,
  Behold me no man caring for my soul,
  And take me to Thee in the far-off land,
Shorten the race and lift me to the goal.

Heavy-handed-slit-lidded, I’m casting those bones
- didn’t play my game as close-chested as I should have, though –
And now I’m throwing with higher stakes than I’d known prior,
starting to regret the forced nonchalance of trying to “keep cool.”
Cast and weighted as I could,
but don’t watch: I’m blind to the hustling pit and
eyes-dimmed of hope-glimmer, I’m resigned against
double-sevens and sacred fourteens, anticipating instead
the triple-ones and maybe solo-fours of feigned failure
- they’re the usual roll, anyway, but I’m standing, moving, gone –
I can’t watch this.
Black/whites give rise to new metrics of haste,
the cubes bouncing and dancing on damnation,
and as the headsman’s axe falls, the die settle:

I dream of living to see the next revolution,
And of the men who will not live through that revolution,
Of the air humming electric static heat in anticipation of the inevitable riot,
Of the holy barricades standing in defiance of Heaven,
Of the enlightened kicking down the doors with guns and masks, asking;
"ARE YOU GONNA BE A PART OF THE PROBLEM OR ARE YOU GONNA BE A PART OF THE SOLUTION?"
Of gallows for the dogs of war,
Of guillotines for the capitalist pigs,
Of a firing squad for every reactionary content to oppose the wheel of history even as it crushes their bones down to nothing,
Of the end which justifies  the blood staining the cities red as the hammer and sickle cells that divide and multiply fevered in the streets,
Of the ghosts of iron men long dead still insisting that we take not one step back,
Because men get arrested, animals get put down
And God,
God made them as stubble to our swords, boys
And with blades clenched between their teeth so climb the dregs of the Earth to the surface to taste the apples they shook from the trees,
In 24 hour news cycles the slogans repeat to infinity:
"NOT RESISTING ARREST"
"NOT COMMITTING A CRIME"
"I WAS NOT A THREAT, WHY DID YOU TRY TO **** ME"
You can only force people to paint the smallest target possible on their own backs for so long before you end up in the crosshairs
I have seen the faces of  my saints painted on the walls of eternity -
Of Trotsky,  million headed proletariat staring daggers through the hearts of the tsars,
Of Cromwell, crusader for the ungovernable force of will,
Of Robespierre, headsman of divine terror riding on the wings of the Angel of Death,
I have seen the end and the means played out in countless dramas across millennia,
And the only question that remains unanswered is this:
Are you gonna be a part of the problem or are you gonna be a part of the solution?
John F McCullagh Aug 2013
The drummers play a muffled beat
As I climb the scaffold stairs.
A long faced priest awaits me there
to say my final prayers.
Maternal blood has been my curse;
I ‘m Edmund De La Pole.
A Yorkist and Plantagenet
By the emperor bought and sold.
My head will never wear the crown
To which it was entitled.
The headsman whets his cold French steel
And fat Henry is delighted.
I kneel before a block of wood
A heart fit for a throne.
Now and at the hour meet:
For ambition I atone.
It is 1513 and you are Edmund De La Pole Earl of Suffolk.  Your claim to the Throne is reason enough for HenryVIII to sign your death warrant

8 minutes they say, minutes before we would know, 8 minutes of blissful ignorance 8 minutes with that wonderful glow.  The warmth and light still there with us, even if the source had already run low, gone out given up the fight. It would be the same way I never heard the crack, never saw the act that would break me. Never saw the thoughts, would it be different if I did see. All the while my 8 minutes ticked, I was unaware in blissful agony. Walking on with my life as if things were the way they were supposed to be. I knew not that I strolled to the headsman’s axe, that just around the corner lying in wait would be the bait that would reel me in. On to dooms fisherman to be stabbed  and laid to rest to be devoured by sorrows lips with some nice fish dip. No I was unaware, I wasn’t scared, I held a false belief which for but 8 minutes I thought was true. Like the sun I felt the warmth, saw the light, within this knowledge I took some pride. Not noting the ever small change, that the end of my rope approached, and I ever wittingly encroached upon my own dismay.

That is why it hurt so much, why the fear the panic took such a strong hold. For on false confidence I had become bold. The glass I stood on broke and it was the end of my world. Floating, as darkness hugghed my eyes, pressing them down like a forced lover, my ears only hearing the thundering rhythm of my failing heart. My skin tingling with pin ****** from a thousand kisses or a thousand licks from a cat named fear. Off balance and falling, falling down to the bowels of despair swallowed whole by betrayal. But even as I fell my mind went back out of my hell, into those sweet glorious 8 minutes where I was free. Where I could be who I wanted to be, go where I wanted to go. I lived a lie, a falsehood, an over drawn good bye. And yet did it matter I was happy, filled with glee, hopping and skipping as joyous as could be. And in the penultimate moment I begin to think and see. Is it better to live a lie let everything go as you wish it to be. Or know the cold cutting truth, bleed with the knowledge, know and rue the day you were born. Is reality truly better than fantasy is does the moment we live in matter if it is made up. And yet In my final moments of clarity I see so many others falling with me. Yet then I note that they smile before they are smote. Even if it is for a little while they continue to in ignorance smile. Unable to change their fate, for it has become far too late. They choose to live in their 8 minutes. Choose to make out their own seconds. And that I realize isn’t as bad as it could be.

What shall it be this time, m'lady?
Another turn upon the rack?
Tie me to four horses?
Lay stones upon my chest?
I can see your king wickedly
smiling as I gasp for air.
With each bark of laughter
he lunges for you and begins
to plant drunken kisses all
over your sweet, perfumed body.
And I am forced to watch.
Is that not torture in itself?
Ask yourself if the punishment
actually fits the crime.
I made the wrong decision, my queen.
I forsook your beauty for a
***** barmaid's.
By your tears, I know you feel
my great wound just as much.
So as the headsman places
the great singing axe upon the
base of my neck, where I often
dreamed of you kissing me
so tenderly, I want you to
know that I will always--
James Alai Feb 2016
The queen toward above me
In her high and mighty chair
"Off with his head, I want him dead"!
I had but a moment to spare

Charm can save a man in distress
A smile can win a fray
I spoke words so sweet they hurt my teeth
But the queen wasn't listening that day.

And in walked the smiling headsman
He raised his axe so high
He let it drop and I heard a chop
I bid the world goodbye

But something strange did happen then
As my head rolled on the the floor
It did not stop, I kid you not!
It rolled right out the door
When the King rode off to the old Crusades
He was leaving his Queen behind,
Safe in the hands of his former aids
He was coy, but he wasn’t blind.
He kept her locked in a chastity belt
And hid the key in his gaol,
Then swore the Gaoler to guard it well
Though the gaoler went quite pale.

How could he give a ‘No’ to a Queen,
Or ‘No’ to her favourite Earl,
So he perspired when the King retired
And travelled half round the world.
The Queen was troubled, she said it chafed
And demanded he give her the key,
‘But no, My Lady, I wouldn’t dare,
It would mean the end for me.’

‘Do you think he’ll even remember your face
By the time that he gets back home?
I’ll have you gutted, and then replaced
While he’s still out there to roam.
I’ll ask the headsman to bring his axe,
The hangman to bring his rope,
And six fine horses to tear you apart
If you think there’s a spark of hope.’

‘Your pardon, Lady, I gave my oath
And am bound by the King’s decree,
He swore I’d burn in a barrel of tar
If ever I give up the key.’
‘Then I shall boil you in oil,’ she said,
‘And strip the skin from your bones,
I’ll feed your fat to the pigs,’ she said,
‘And take delight in your moans.’

He sought protection from higher up,
The Earl had noticed his plight,
And said, ‘I’ll send you my personal guard
If you lend me the key one night.
I’ll guard it well, and you’ll get it back
When the sun comes up at dawn,
Not a word of this shall pass my lips
As I stand, an Earl has sworn.’

The gaoler gibbered in fear and grief
He could see his head on a spike,
‘I can’t conspire with your lord’s desire
No matter how much I’d like.
The key is hid in a secret place
That is only known to the King,
He hid it where there would be no trace,
It’s only a tiny thing.’

The Earl then sent his guards to the gaol
And they tore the place apart,
While searching for the chastity key
To settle his troubled heart.
The Queen sat in her apartments, on
A cushion of fine brocade,
It helped to ease where the belt had teased,
And hid where the Earl had played.

The key they found, hid under a slab
At the base of the dungeon door,
And soon the lovers were lain together
The chastity belt on the floor.
The months went by in a lovers sigh
Til the King and his knights rode back,
Their shields and helmets worn and dented
In Saladin’s fierce attack.

The Queen’s trim figure was rather big
When the key was put to the belt,
It’s hard to know what a King would show,
And harder to know what he felt.
But he burnt the Earl in a barrel of tar
And the gaoler did what he said,
He lowered the Queen in a barrel of oil
Til it bubbled up over her head.

They lead her out in irons
Like butchers lead a sheep
The screaming of the sirens
Awakes the town from sleep

On one arm walks an elder
On the opposite a priest
Behind, an executioner
His eyes raised to the east

Is this not what He wanted?
On Earth as in the sky
Just as Our Father promised
We'll see His enemy die

Around the grim procession
The people come in crowds
To see the wrathful session
Beneath the darkening clouds

Awaiting her arrival
At a place arrayed with skulls
For the sake of their survival
The congregation culls

Is this not what we wanted?
On Earth as in the sky
Just as Our Father promised
We'll see our enemy die

They hold her in position
Her face against a wall
Expecting some contrition
Expecting her to stall

But though her eyes show terror
They also show resolve
No apology for error
No need to be absolved

Is this not all they wanted?
On Earth as in the sky
Just as my father promised
They'll see his enemy die

His weapon at the ready
The headsman heaves a sigh
A lengthy hesitation
That makes her wonder why

She glances past her shoulder
At the killer in his place
And suddenly goes cold
As she sees her father's face

Is this not what you wanted?
On Earth as in the sky
Just as your Father promised
You'll see the enemy die

[Her] Coward!

[Executioner] *******!

[Elders] Demon ****!

The old man holds a grimace
And tightly shuts his eyes
His soul he sees as sinless
As fast his weapon flies
Lyrics of a metal style song I've been working on.
Ken Pepiton Sep 2022
-Xenophon leads me on… in another place… here
Aft amorning entranct with possibilities. Yo crero.
Someday you, is reading thisday me, when
from Under the Volcano
to the Lighthouse, bemused, as muses use us. Little things, elves. Ves-try best try, purple robe,

- the nobels dismounted
By and by, we learn the rhythm, sing song, none
Said wrong -goin’ up country… doin’s as we do…
goin up country, bring some ***** home
Woe baby war war war, holy war, face o’ god,
- Click, new channel, and the other one goes on… abysmally pro fundity, pay eh…
No mortal may gaze into, as the window of his own soul,  may gaze eyes ablaze, having
Witnessed the fact that the shining thing, tasting
The wait and see tree, {we asked why we could not eat the olives from the tree, but remembert green persimmons. So we let patience work}
We name first fruits, from the end of time, wait
Wait wait wait wait wait
Fifty years. Just wait. Suffer it to be so, never go
-away hungery, or mad, as the author, seeks cause, aitia, reason come to cause,
meet me at the t. aitia, I am, as amusement, a thoth thought that any Solomonic emulation can run. Pocket Pal, or a B natural Blues Harp, or
Some times I sing. Or whistle, just to let me know,
We remain just this sane, by a thread…
Of Anabasis, goin’ up country
Bound, bound bound by my brothers,
Marching
As to war, God gives us greed, t’ meet our need
Jones to the bones, pure-dee vine curiosity
how were such armies formed, gathered up,
from where, whence came the brazen helms
the hoplites sport on inspection and demo charge,
with a roar like highschool foot ball kick-off,
same surge of mob adrenal reasoning, tuned in,
sheee it, we, she-us, wh-then, the signal dropped out. Zero beat.
Right on. Tune tested, best of 300, in the top 3.
- look there were multiple versions
- the story of mankind, as we branched,
by means of confoundment… flattening,
Tin into brass, folding, and flattening, pounding
On an oak stump, oh,
Long time ago, this stump, see we cut it down,
slow, slow, old man fades, see,
Time as thought is time as time, to me, thinking this is all I bloomed to become.
About 1957, I learned that an old Persian olive
cultivar on Crete, or anywhere around there,
takes fifty years to reach maturity, full fruct-
if-ication…

So me, the guy after the secondplace hero,
Xenophon, you know, the rich geek,
Teddy Roosevelt, right, right right, just
like his character,
Legendary… like mine. My best me, I did boast,
But freedmen, as a class. Raise a brow, one notch,
Per sold out, wait, wait, wait till we see, the whites of their eyes, the others, sub-human, by god… hold your fire… wait
Or regret you have but one life to give, for your country. Do and die, be an Israelite indeed, guiless.--- unbeguiled, no guilt for knowing…
And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not… in deed…

Dropped out. And ate dust. Dots in the distance,
Thunder in some dreams, tuned to take a non-anxious thought from a child so sure,
I’ve got a mansion,
just over the hilltop, in that bright land of after all.
We die. And lo’, we live, as words,
A word, to the wise, is enough… true rest compresses trust abused as a beggars tin-cup, to catch the rich man’s ball…
yes, I owned a silver cup… not tin, silver.
I was as proud of that cup as what’shisname,

Warm waters ripple underneath my feet,
Mist softly caresses my surroundings like a fuzzy blanket,
Nothing but a warm wrap on a deathbed.
I'm flying.
The sea beneath my feet freezes as I descend upon it.
A catwalk to my judging headsman.
I refuse to walk.
I fly.
Without destination.
Without meaning.
Until you touched my hand and I turned around.
mikecccc Jun 2015
On days with no work
It dripped not a drop
of spectral blood

It didn't drink
Light like a
Demons eye

If I held my ear
To the blade
I couldn't hear penitent pleas

I was rather disappointed
With the headsman ax
It could've been
A lumberjack's ax.
Zywa Jun 2023
On the bridge before these walls
stood the spears with the heads
of all who were in the way

cut off on the block, with ravels
if the convicted refused
to pay the headsman

for a quick death, the heads
with holes where the blackbirds pick
the holes where the eyes were

The parishioners wore shawls
over their noses and mouths
during the Sunday service

in the church of the chains
because it reeked from the vault
full of beheaded bodies

oh, history lessons
don't make anyone happy
at best our children

if we don't let us be tied down
by complicity in injustice
lifelong guilt and shame

if we dare to count on each other
and rise up against tyranny
Tower of London

Henry VIII

Collection "The drama"
all weapons have there abilities,
A dagger has stealth,
A blade has speed,
A sword has it strength,
An axe has power,
But each has a person,
An assassin has a dagger,
A ninja has a blade,
A knight has it sword,
a headsman has an axe,
Each have there jobs,
assassins **** the bad,
ninjas **** to save,
knights **** to guard,
a headsman  to behead.
in my dream i was all,
but in the end i was the beheaded.
Ishmael May 2018
I watch with wary eyes as the devil lounges against the wall.
"Come on, you know you can't do it without me."
she whispers, golden words dripping from her lips like wine.
I do my best. I shut my eyes, drown out her voice, and mutter "no".

I hear her laugh like a headsman and feel her stroll over and wrap her arms around me,
breathing softly in my ear.
"Sweety, you know you don't mean that. Even after everything I've done, you love me. How many times have I picked you off the ground and made you keep fighting?"
"How many times were you the reason I went down in the first place" I argue, but even to my own ears my voice wavers.

"Baby, please. You know I'll be as good as you let me. You just gotta be careful."
I sigh. For all her flaws, she wasn't a liar. She was above that.
"fine." I mutter, "But I won't let you hurt anyone else."
She grins. "See, I knew it was a matter of time."
I figure we never really fight them, because in a way they're the best parts of us. Who can be beautiful without flaws?

Remembrance of My Death

Around, all around, the storm clouds gather.
My dread grows as the headsman's axe falls against my head.
It crushes me, and darkly my

blood drips
to the broken ground.
In numbness I cry out
while death looms closer.
Now alone, my soul falls upon cold eyes.
           And i drift into the darkness father and father until i am no more and non-existent  

That is my doom
Bell’s Theorem

Revealed — unshaken —
That the world’s unbroken:
“Causality” is fakin’,
Its backbone bent and broken.

“God-particles,” they hover
In bonds that distance can't cover.
Not parts, but woven Wholeness,
One cosmic Thread of Oneness.

Dump your creeds and stumble
Through the lies they mumble.
Spirit is the Binding.
Sensing it — no finding.

Fall for “laws” they’re preaching,
You're a puppet, screeching,
Worshipping "Order," gladly —
A puppet of the Baddies.

******* dressed as scholars
Sweep away the hollers
Of truths that shake foundations —
Like Bell’s revelations.

Fools adore their “reasons,”
Chained by shallow seasons,
Gulping lies from stations
Run by dark mutations.

Schools churn out the simple —
Mouths agape, they nibble
All the junk they’re fed with.
Souls grow faint, infected.

By this flood of madness,
Drowning deep in sadness,
Lost — unless you fire
Back with rebel ire!

To the Spirit — turning,
See the world now burning:
Slaves call filth “salvation.”
Only bold DARE NATION.



---------------------




Bell rang loud — no chains remain.
Causality? A false domain.
All is One — you sense or die.
Truth's for those who dare defy.



---------------------



“Civilization”

Civilization?
W­here have you seen it?
Spirit’s stagnation.
Mind has no meaning.

Rulers are soulless —
NO! It can’t be.
Only wild rages,
Mass lunacy.

“Wise” is the idiot,
Slave is the king —
Madness runs rampant,
Monsters rule things.

“Civilized,” are you?
Means: chicken for stew.
Bound by your terror —
And silent, too.

Enemies, surely,
Hide in the dark —
Scarecrows and goblins
Drawn for a lark.

TV defines them.
You chase the cash.
While lies enslave you,
Fear makes you thrash.

Dumbness is sowed here
Till you're a freak.
"Smart" is deception,
"Truth" — for the weak.

“Civilized reptiles,”
Everywhere crawl.
Build the next zoo-cage —
Same protocol.

Children will trust it —
“Earth is near-Heaven.”
Later — the guts hit,
Truth strikes like venom.

Better to perish
Than rot in this pit.
Dreams you still cherish?
They’ll strangle it.

You call it living?
It’s death on delay —
Serving as minion,
Dying each day.

Only the seekers
Of spirit and light
Will find their soulpath
Through hardship and night.

Grow your own power —
Blow the Hell wide!
Freaks will go under,
Beasts will subside.

Born in the Spirit,
Bathed in the Flame,
One — we will clear it:
End of the shame.

Sun will rise stronger,
Burning through lies.
Freedom feels closer,
Brighter the skies.

Liberation through dying.
Rebirth through the Fire.
Believe in your trying —
You are Spirit’s lyre.

Pull back your bowstring —
That is your task.
The target — God’s choosing.
Now lift off your mask.



---------------------




This “civilized” hell — just cages and lies.
The Spirit rebels. Let monsters demise!
We're born as the bow — now draw and ignite:
Judgment is near. Be arrow of Light.



---------------------



The Futile Search for Friends

You walk the streets — and maybe spot
Some gifted soul to share your fate?
Then die alone — for you are not
The kind the slaves appreciate.

No scribbled words will earn you grace —
As Sasha Chorny once made clear:
The filth now runs the book review race,
The herd of fools is loud and near.

Your only friend? Still — paper, page.
So was, so is, so shall it be.
No wine will ease the inner cage
Of toil and raw intensity.

No "bright distractions" ever quite
Relieve the soul from daily strain —
Mass culture, made for brainless blight,
Just makes you nauseous with disdain.

So, poet — know: the path you tread
Leads deep within, where truth may gleam.
Life is a block; your neck, the thread —
The headsman smiles. Don't trust the dream.



---------------------




No friends await you in the street.
The poet walks alone — complete.
The world is filth. The fools applaud.
Dig deep within — or die by fraud.



---------------------



So-Called “Civilization”

Idiots around — pure rot.
“Culture”? Just a corpse that stinks.
Brilliant minds? A rare forgot.
Fear and madness — all that links.

Mocking souls becomes a sport
For the beasts behind the screen.
Masses ruled by liars bought —
That’s now normal. Filth is queen.

And the bottom’s gone — it's smashed.
What’s below? Hell’s rushing near.
Each new year we dive more brash —
Fools rejoice, devoid of fear.

"Doctors" care, and "teachers" preach
All the "newness" we must praise —
Turning people into screech-
less, obedient piles of waste.

Even cannibal regimes
Now are floated as “OK.”
Fascism returns through screens —
COW-ID showed us the way.

But — surprise! The gate is locked.
Hell’s full up — review begun.
Souls must scatter, re-dispatched —
Soon shall burn beneath the Sun.



---------------------




Rot runs deep where culture dies.
Fascists smile in sweet disguise.
Hell awaits — but doors are shut.
Sun will cleanse this world of gut.



---------------------



So-Called “Civilization”


The stench of rot is everywhere —
The dull, the dead-eyed, fake, insane.
This “culture” breeds a blank despair,
A carnival of souls in chains.

The mind once bright — now deemed a threat,
A relic scorned, a fading trace.
While screaming mobs, in shame and sweat,
Devour all truth, and call it “grace.”

Mass media — the Beast’s own tongue —
Commands the swarm, controls the flow.
It feeds on filth, and from among
The filth arise the gods below.

The vile are kings. The brave — erased.
The liar lauded, truth denied.
Each virtue twisted, hacked, replaced —
The well of meaning long since dried.

And now the floor gives way — it's gone.
The cracks descend to blacker pits.
Hell opens up — but not as dawn…
It’s swallowing us bit by bit.

Year by year, the spiral spins,
Faster toward the core of night.
While fools applaud their padded sins,
And hail the chains as noble right.

They “heal” with poison, “teach” with fear,
Redefine what it means to rot.
They train the soul to disappear —
A slave that even dreams it’s not.

And soon the talk turns to the flesh —
To eating it, as if it’s fair.
They test the lines, erase what's left —
And grin as death perfumes the air.

You saw it once in names disguised —
Cow-ID, rules, a quiet *****.
The gulag now is sanitized,
A touchscreen leash, a social strike.

But even Hell must draw a line —
Its numbers swell, its halls are full.
And now the system starts to grind,
To sort the cinders from the wool.

The souls — they scatter, some to flame,
And some to higher realms unknown.
The Sun prepares to cleanse the shame,
To burn the filth down to the bone.

No more delay. No “moral grey.”
No middle ground, no soft retreat.
The final fire clears the way —
And melts the lies beneath your feet.

You were not born for chains and screens.
Your blood was forged to cut through dark.
But time runs thin — and in between
The silence strikes. And leaves a mark.



---------------------




This world is lost — but truth won’t die.
The Sun prepares. The liars fry.
Hell overflows — the gate is closed.
Now choose your path: ignite… or decompose.




---------------------



So-Called “Civilization”


They call it “civilized,” this blight —
Where darkness wears a neon mask.
Where minds collapse beneath the night,
And hearts forget their sacred task.

The air is thick with screams and screens,
Where madness feeds on every soul.
A broken world of lifeless scenes,
Where lies are taught as self-control.

The Beast has many names and faces —
It sings through news, through laws, through care.
It builds delight in prison places,
And poisons freedom through despair.

The wise are hunted, truth is mocked,
And silence grows like cancer’s root.
The soul is drugged, the spirit blocked,
And reason drowned beneath the brute.

Yet this is not the final act.
Though bottom cracked and Hell unsealed,
The clock turns not to endless black —
For Light prepares to be revealed.

A Reckoning beyond all speech,
Where fire sees what flesh conceals.
The Sun, no longer out of reach,
Will scorch the filth, and purge the wheels.

Those forged in truth will rise again —
Not as the weak, not born to kneel.
Their flame survives the storms and chains —
Their hearts remember how to feel.

No tyrant grasps the thread of fate.
No screen can mute the call within.
When Spirit speaks, it will not wait —
It burns, it breaks, it starts to spin.

So tremble, world of bought pretense.
Your walls are ash, your power thin.
The final code is not defense —
But Light erupting from within.

And those who walk the narrow path,
Through pain, through loss, through haunted night,
Shall see beyond the beast’s grey wrath —
And be reborn in living Light.



---------------------




The lie will fall, the flame will speak.
The brave arise. The strong, the meek.
The Sun will cleanse. The end is near.
But those who burn will reappear.



---------------------



****** of False Science

Their “Lord’s Prayer” — from labs of lies:
Like priests, but dumber, dead behind eyes.
They chant their dogma, dull and thick,
And jab your face with “logic” sticks.

Their "proofs" are forged, absurd, and hollow,
But sheep are soft — they whine, they follow.
And so these ****** of science fake
More lies than truth can ever shake.

With Cow-ID they raised the stakes —
A rerun show of AIDS and snakes.
They frame your mind with twisted tones —
The Overton Window’s cracking bones.

No more "proof" — just bland decree.
"Believe or die" — that’s now the plea.
The *****-machine no longer waits,
Facts take too long — they slam the gates.

Their truths are *****, served as gold.
The dim retreat into their holes.
City rats think sludge is right —
They melt in numbers, blind to light.

The camp is coming, digitized.
Each word they speak — another lie.
The Beasts proclaim it, ******* loud —
And pain shall rain without a cloud.



---------------------




False science kneels to darkest power,
Its lies devour hour by hour.
They build the camp with screens and fear —
And Hell begins… already here.



---------------------



The Calm of Rotten Truth

False science prays in sterile tones —
A choir of clerks with hearts of stone.
They chant what’s paid, not what is true,
And pierce the eye with data skewed.

Their proofs are shells, their facts — arranged.
But people, soft and pre-deranged,
Obey with ease. They do not fight.
They beg for lies that sound polite.

They once sold fear through names like AIDS,
Now Cow-ID reshapes the cage.
The Overton Window gently slides —
No one resists. The truth just hides.

There is no need for proof today.
They issue edicts, clear and grey.
The time for reason came — and went.
Now power speaks. Consent is spent.

No one debates. They just affirm.
The cities melt. The people squirm.
They swallow filth as if it's grace,
And call it fact — with vacant face.

A digital camp, precise, refined,
Is built for body, soul, and mind.
The screens will shine. The truth will choke.
No flames — just silence, thick as smoke.

They triple lies and call it peace.
The torturer retires in fleece.
No blood, no cries. No need for chains.
The system runs through quiet brains.



---------------------




No need for force. No boots, no screams.
They die inside — and call it dreams.



---------------------



Hopeless clarity

1. Lie
A lie no longer wears a mask.
It isn’t hidden.
It isn’t proved.
It’s simply declared —
and thus becomes the norm.

A lie is not a glitch.
It’s the interface.

2. The Mass
The crowd doesn’t want meaning.
It wants a signal.
Rhythm, repetition, approval.
Fear and format.
The mass is not people.
It’s an algorithm
that feeds on human bodies.

3. Silence
There is no resistance.
Only overloaded channels.
Signals multiply —
and meaning dies.
Silence is no longer
the absence of words.
It is all words at once.
Until no words remain.

4. Oblivion
Nothing explodes.
It just fades.
Memory doesn’t burn —
it updates.
What isn’t encoded
never existed.

You didn’t vanish.
You were never launched.

5. Molecule of Fear
Fear is a molecule —
Invisible, yet dense.
It binds the weak and strong,
Turns breath into suspense.

It’s coded deep within —
No cure, no cure but trust.
A virus made of thought,
An endless, choking dust.

6. Simulacrum
Reality's just a shadow
Cast by screens and lies.
Truth dissolves in pixels —
A mask that never dies.

The genuine is deleted,
Replaced by coded frames.
We live inside the fake —
With manufactured names.

7. Erasure
Words once carved in stone
Are now erased in bytes.
The past is overwritten —
Lost in endless nights.

To remember is a crime,
To forget — the law.
History rewritten,
By those who hold the saw.

8. Zero Point
At the zero point —
Where all things cease to be,
The spark of consciousness
Fades to vacancy.

No noise, no light, no thought —
Just endless quiet fall.
The final protocol:
The end of all.


---

Fear binds. Truth fades.
Memory dies.
At zero point —
Only silence flies.


---


Prophetic Manifesto: The Quiet Collapse

Lie no longer wears a mask.
It’s not concealed, nor proven —
Simply declared, and so it stands:
The new norm, the interface.

The mass no longer seeks meaning,
Only signals, rhythm, echoes.
Fear, approval, frozen format —
An algorithm feeding on flesh.

Resistance fades to silence,
Channels choke on excess words.
Silence is no absence now,
But all words screaming at once —
Until the last breath is stilled.

Nothing explodes; it simply fades.
Memory does not burn, but updates.
What is not encoded, never was.
You didn’t vanish. You were never launched.

Fear is a molecule, invisible but dense,
Binding weak and strong alike,
Turning breath to suspended dread,
A virus made of thought and dust.

Reality is shadowed by screens and lies,
Truth dissolves in coded pixels.
The genuine is deleted,
Replaced by frames and masks.

Words once carved in stone are erased
Byte by byte, overwritten by law.
To remember is crime; to forget, obedience —
History cut down by the saw of power.

At zero point, all ceases to be,
Consciousness fades to vacancy.
No light, no noise, no thought remains —
Only endless quiet fall.

The Final Refrain:
Fear binds. Truth fades.
Memory dies.
At zero point —
Only silence flies.



---------------------



Servants of “Culture”

Nothing but self-censorship
In this wretched “culture” pit.
The skin’s the thing — no scholarship —
Just ****** and shallow counterfeit.

Supporting vile Beast’s demands,
Forward, no delays allowed!
Cash flows if we sell the scams —
Fill the herd — keep them cowed.

If we scare the beaten crowd,
Praise and bonuses appear.
Old templates worn and loud —
We jab the fearful spear.

We parcel lies in measured doses,
Powder them with fake allure.
The flock devours, soon disposes —
Blinded, dull, but so secure.

Thus we serve the Devil’s throne,
Babbling nonsense called “art’s face.”
In a pool of stench alone,
We **** the crowd’s feelings — a disgrace.

Distracting from the darker scene,
Inviting doom with smiling guise,
This is the pinnacle, obscene —
Of *******’ vile enterprise.

Decay’s own bards, they proudly sing,
To fools, they seem important kings.



---------------------




Culture’s servants sell the lie,
Drowning truth while cash flows by.
Masters of decay and sham —
Puppets in the Devil’s plan.



---------------------



The Outcome of “Civilization”

Masters now in treachery,
Long sunk deep in lies and greed,
While happiness is misery —
A mirage, no thought to heed.

Is this the end of “civilization”?
Where **** are bowed to low and vile,
Where genocide and degradation
Wear lies brazen as the style?

Where Honor, Dignity are dead,
And selling out’s as common as breath?
Where nearly all the souls are bled,
And fools and madmen rule as “best”?

Where dulling minds are factories —
Producing fools with steady hand?
The masses blind to chains and lies,
Not seeing shackles on the land.

In wildest slavery they scream
Of “freedom” — fools, forever lost.
The world’s become a broken dream,
A madhouse shrouded deep in frost.

Where beasts now rule through endless age,
Changing form, but fascism’s core.
Where murderers write the savage page,
And wars explode forevermore.

****** once named ******’s brand,
Now worse in Bedlam’s ****** reign.
False scientists lower than the sand,
Blind liars fueling the insane.

Here Reason’s clouded, minds obscured,
The Spirit lost, while Satan schemes,
His plan of ruin all assured —
Your country’s falsehoods haunt your dreams.

We’ve hit the bottom — no more down.
The time has come to burn this hell,
To free the world from monstrous crown,
From all who made it such a cell.

Traitors will fall and be erased —
No Human left in their design.
Though many lost, their minds displaced,
The fire will cleanse the grand decline.

A rebirth born of Spirit’s flame,
But no “ticket” to paradise,
If you accepted this decay,
And let the Evil grow and rise.

You’ll need resolve and steady will,
This shame, this rot, this deadly blight.
Endure the Spirit’s slaughter still?
Endure the Mind destroyed by night?

Measure your life to the bottom,
Pour it out in battle’s fire.
Let **** be burned — reject your doom.
Defy the Fate they’d all conspire.

Slave’s fate is fixed for many — true.
But those who fight are never slaves.
Though soul enchanted, weakened too,
Though poor and crushed beneath the waves.

Fight on — seek out new paths to tread.
The vile know all old tricks by heart.
Strike fresh, strike hard — crush them dead!
Trample their rot, tear it apart!

Dirt to dirt. But light to light alone
Will always strive and find its way.
Know this: you’re demi-god, your throne
Is struggle, tearing **** away.

Victory of Light is writ in fate.
Be bold. Honor alone commands.
The soul’s salvation waits for those
Who fight — while vengeance strikes the lands.



---------------------




The end is rotten, but still we fight —
For Light, for soul, for what is right.
Stand strong, destroy the vile breed —
Victory’s born of fearless deed.



---------------------



The Reckoning of Civilization

Masters of betrayal, steeped in lies,
Long drowned in greed, devoid of light,
While happiness, a mirage, dies—
And thought dissolves in endless night.

Is this the end of “civilization”?
A world bowed down before the ****,
Where genocide and degradation
Are law, and lies become the drum?

Where Honor and Dignity lie dead,
Where selling out’s as common as breath,
Where souls lie crushed, and fools instead
Are crowned the norm — the face of death.

Where dulled minds churn in factories,
Producing fools with cruel precision,
The masses blind to their own chains —
Unaware of their submission.

In wildest slavery, they cry
Of “freedom,” fools with broken wills,
A world that’s lost beneath a sky
Of madness, darkness, endless chills.

Beasts rule across the endless age,
Changing masks but not their core.
The savage page of war and rage
Repeats, surpassing times before.

The horrors named from past regimes—
Now pale before today’s dark reign.
False prophets preach in fevered dreams,
Spreading lies that blind the sane.

Here Reason fades into the void,
The Spirit lost, consumed by shade.
While Satan’s plan is now deployed,
Your homeland’s soul begins to fade.

We’ve hit the lowest point — no more descent.
The hour has come to cleanse the flame,
To burn away the foul torment,
And free the world from vice and shame.

The traitors fall — erased by fire,
No trace remains of man’s disgrace.
Though many minds may yet expire,
The flames will purify this place.

From Spirit’s ash, a new dawn springs,
But no free pass to Heaven’s gate,
If you accepted rot’s dark kings,
And stood aside while evil’s fate.

Hold fast your will, embrace the fight,
Endure the shame, the dark abyss.
Can you withstand the endless night?
Or fall into the dark’s cold kiss?

Measure your life down to the core,
Pour it forth in battle’s breath.
Let **** be purged forevermore —
Reject the judgment cold as death.

The slave’s fate lies in chains and pain,
But fighters carve a different way.
Though weakened, poor, entranced by chains,
The soul that fights will never sway.

Seek out new paths, beyond the old,
The vile know every worn deceit.
Strike hard anew — destroy, uphold!
Trample corruption beneath your feet!

From dirt to dirt, but light to light,
The spark will reach beyond the gloom.
You are a demi-god in fight —
Destroyer of the rot and tomb.

The victory of Light is writ
By fate itself — be bold, be just.
Salvation waits for those who quit
Not fighting — but who fight and trust.

Prophetic refrain:
The darkness falls — but light remains.
From ashes rise, break all the chains.
The final reckoning is near —
Stand firm, for dawn will soon appear.



---------------------



Concentration Camp

No education here remains —
Spirit crushed, and Reason dulled,
A conveyor belt of numbness,
Blind slaves, slow-witted, culled.

The newsfeed floods with lies and rage,
It fills the mind, consumes the soul.
You’ll vanish lost and wasted—
Left only with the toll.

******* rob you of your honor,
Of conscience, thought, and light.
This is no jest — revenge is coming
For Spirit’s sacred might.

They have their false “science” teaching,
Where “brain alone creates it all.”
Those ****** deny the Spirit —
This madness will soon fall.

This herd of worthless liars,
Pushing falsehoods with a sneer,
“Respectable” in masks they wear —
Believe them, and you’re lost, my dear.

Forget the sacred Spirit —
You’re then just rotten ****,
A door to hell and chaos,
The void where life’s undone.

Without the Spirit, you’re a wretch —
A shameful pestilence,
Who bears the rule of tyrants
In Earth’s dark penitence.

The Earth already trembles,
Soon swept of all its grime.
No Spirit, no defiance,
Only fools in honor’s prime.

Not search, but brutal censure —
Not knowledge, but deceit.
They need a foolish servant,
A slave beneath their feet.

A global camp they’re building —
The whole world in their grasp.
With flags adorned by red crosses —
Reason they unclasp.

Those who trust the fascists —
A countless horde of ****.
In this enslaved domain,
The mind is swiftly done.

The Spirit faces slaughter —
Such is the times we live.
Become a dung fly here —
The price for your submission.

And gladly they accept it —
A true and living hell.
The **** will not stop killing —
While fools rejoice and dwell.

Imbeciles, psychos,
Schizoids and maniacs rise,
New forces bred of evil —
Smart minds soon meet their demise.

Two thirds of all the people
Are mentally decayed.
Corruption’s limit reached —
No country left, just shade.

A raw-material appendage,
To Cabal they belong.
Betrayal’s bitter cost,
Declared a war so strong.

Annihilation for all —
Awake! Resist this fate!
Rise up against the darkness,
Fight fascism before too late.



---------------------



Concentration Camp

No true learning dwells within these walls —
The Spirit crushed, the Mind undone,
A factory of dullness churns,
Where blind slaves march as one.

The flood of lies, a raging stream,
Fills every hollowed space.
And lost, you fade without a trace —
Left only with despair’s embrace.

******* strip away your Honor,
Conscience, reason — all laid waste.
This is no jest, but sacred vengeance,
The Spirit’s wrath misplaced.

They wield false science — sterile, cold —
Where only brain commands the soul.
Those traitors cast the Spirit out,
Their poison taking toll.

This flock of liars, false and proud,
Speaks with a hollow, brutal sound.
“Respectable” in their disguise —
Believe them, and be bound.

Forget the sacred flame within —
Become a shadow, torn and thin.
The gates to Hell yawning wide,
Where light and life rescind.

Without the Spirit, all is dust —
A wretched pestilence,
Enduring tyrants’ dark designs
On Earth’s fallen conscience.

The planet shudders, cursed and torn,
Soon swept beneath the storm.
No Spirit’s spark, no daring soul —
Just fools in empty form.

Not seeking truth, but censure’s grip,
Not knowledge, but deceit's embrace.
They crave a servant dull and blind —
A slave lost in the race.

A global camp now stretches wide —
The world itself enslaved.
Red crosses mark the banners raised —
Reason crushed and waived.

Those who trust the fascist lies —
A legion blind and lost.
In this realm of shackled minds,
Wisdom pays the cost.

The Spirit’s slaughter is the age —
A time of shadowed breath.
Become a dung fly in this world —
The price of slow death.

They welcome chains with open arms —
Hell’s kingdom on the rise.
The **** will not cease their slaughter —
As fools applaud their lies.

Imbeciles and madmen reign,
Born from evil’s endless night.
Bright minds snuffed like fragile flames —
Doomed to silent blight.

Two thirds succumb to madness’ grip,
Corruption’s final veil.
No country left, just empty shells —
A world doomed to fail.

A raw resource, bound in chains,
To Cabal’s dark domain.
Betrayal’s bitter, burning brand,
Declared a war of pain.

Destruction falls on all alike —
Awake! Resist the fall!
Rise up, reclaim the Spirit’s flame —
And break the fascist thrall.



---------------------




When Spirit dies, the world grows cold —
A prison forged by lies untold.
But in the depths, the flame survives —
Resist, arise, and fight to thrive.



---------------------



Concentration Camp

1. Conveyor of Darkness
No light escapes this grinding mill,
Where minds are crushed and souls are still.
A conveyor belt of dumbed-down breath,
Marching blind to endless death.

Identity lost, all voices fade,
Replaced by shadows the system made.
A world turned grey, devoid of thought,
Where reason dies, and slaves are caught.

2. Flood of Falsehoods
The floodgates open — lies cascade,
In waves of noise, the truth betrayed.
A storm of words, a tidal wave,
That drowns the free and feeds the slave.

False prophets preach from screens alight,
Replacing day with endless night.
The mind consumed by crafted tales,
Where freedom withers, hope now pales.

3. Stripped Spirit
The Spirit’s skin is torn away,
Conscience crushed beneath the fray.
Honor shattered, cast to ground,
In silence deep, no peace is found.

The sacred flame grows dim and cold,
By hands of liars bought and sold.
Yet in this void, a spark remains —
A seed beneath the weight of chains.

4. The Gate to Oblivion
The gate swings wide, a yawning void,
Where light and life are both destroyed.
A realm where souls are cast aside,
No hope, no truth, no place to hide.

This threshold marks the break of being,
The end of all that once was seeing.
Without the Spirit’s guiding flame,
Existence burns, reduced to name.

5. Chains of Illusion
Bound tight in chains of crafted lies,
The mind enslaved, the Spirit dies.
Illusions thick as iron bars,
Conceal the truth beneath the scars.

Betrayal sows the darkest seed,
To bind the will and crush the creed.
Yet even locked in deepest night,
The soul may rise to grasp the light.

6. The Silent Fall
No thunder sounds, no battle cries,
Just quiet as the spirit dies.
A slow decay, a fading breath,
The gentle drift toward cold death.

All meaning slips like grains of sand,
Slipping fast through unseen hands.
The world reduced to hollow shell,
A tale of silence none can tell.

7. The Spirit’s Flame
But in the blackest, bleakest night,
A tiny spark begins to fight.
Unseen, unheard, it burns within,
A quiet war to cleanse the sin.

This flame defies the endless dark,
A promise held within the spark.
No chains can bind, no lies can ****,
The Spirit’s flame burns on, until—

8. The Reckoning
The reckoning will shake the ground,
When truth at last is unbound.
The tyrants fall, their lies undone,
The night recedes before the sun.

Stand firm, arise, reclaim the fight,
The dawn is breaking through the night.
The Spirit calls — awake, arise!
And cast the shadows from your eyes.

Final refrain:
From darkness born, the Spirit wakes —
The cage will break, the soul remakes.
The path is hard, the night is long,
But Light will triumph, pure and strong.



---------------------



Help Talents Shine

Help talents rise and show their face.
Forget schools, forget the holy place —
Where children’s minds are dulled and crushed,
Their spirits broken, hopes are hushed.

They turn them all to slaves and tools,
To serve the weak, the blind, the fools.
But talent stands above the pack,
Rarely does the herd have its back.

Inside them lies a twisted doubt —
A complex bred to drag them out.
The plight of talents — Bedlam’s shame,
A world that plays a ruthless game.

It’s always been this way, you see —
A mad world helps the weak to be.
It breeds the same, a vicious breed,
Because the worthless need their seed.

So if you’re gifted, trust yourself,
Gather your strength, claim your own wealth.
Though lonely roads are hard and long,
Self-censorship will keep you strong.

Be your own master, don’t despair —
In solitude, find courage there.



---------------------



Help Talents Rise

Help the gifted break the chain —
Schools and temples breed the pain.
Dulling minds, crushing the soul,
Turning free hearts into coal.

Talent stands alone and proud,
Rises strong above the crowd.
Trust yourself — be your own guide,
Master self, with fearless stride.

No more chains, no false disguise —
Let your spirit claim the skies!



---------------------



Rise, Talents — Break the Chains!

Schools and temples? **** their lies!
They crush your spirit, feed you lies.
Turning children into slaves,
Dumbed-down beasts, their souls in graves.

Talent’s rare — and hated deep,
By weaklings who just crawl and creep.
But you — stand tall, ignite your fire!
Burn their lies, destroy their pyre!

No master but yourself, no chains,
Own your power — break their reins!
Rise fierce, rebel, and never bow,
The future’s yours — claim it now!



---------------------



So-Called Medicine

False medicine — a brutal cult,
Their “god” is Satan’s face.
Filthy fiends rule as chief and judge,
Their “cures” a worthless disgrace.

They silence truth about the cancer,
While healing herbs hold sacred power.
Cut off from Spirit’s subtle ties,
Disease blooms when souls grow sour.

Not human — rotten flesh remains,
They mask the pain, ignore the root.
A herd of traitors, vile and base,
Like vets who treat their two-legged loot.

Now veterinarians turned fascists,
Injecting junk, inventing ills.
Their aim — to punish, lock in cells,
Health’s death sentence, lies and kills.

Get off the backs of human souls,
You **** — release your cruel control!



---------------------



False Medicine — A Brutal Cult

False medicine — a ruthless sect,
Their “god” is Satan, pure defect.
Filthy beasts run chief and law,
Their “cures” are poison, fraud and flaw.

They hush the cancer’s deadly truth,
While herbs hold power, nature’s proof.
Cut off from Spirit’s sacred thread,
Where souls decay, disease is bred.

Not men, but rotting lumps of flesh,
They chase symptoms, miss the mesh.
Traitors, **** — a brutal horde,
Like vets who herd us like the bored.

Now fascist vets with poisoned knives,
Inject their junk to steal our lives.
Their goal — to ****, lock down, enslave —
Health’s graveyard, reform’s dark grave.

Get off our backs, you filthy spawn!
Your twisted reign will soon be gone!



---------------------



Nature and the Fools

An insult to Nature’s core —
All two-legged fools we deplore.
They lie as freely as they breathe,
Like mice before the fascist wreath.

Today, the Führers rot away —
Only **** will kneel and obey.
This garbage heap has no renown —
Just endless howls, a mournful sound.

They howl as if they’ve been stung,
Where Nature’s scars stay old and wrung.
Islands in the ocean’s flood —
Trash they leave where life once stood.

But Nature heals her wounds with speed,
The Sun will burn their vile breed.
She’ll scorch the fools who scar her face,
And save her sacred, ancient place.

After fire comes rebirth’s dawn —
From human filth the pain is drawn.
The spirited, the fierce, the wise
Will live beyond these darkened skies.



---------------------



Nature’s Reckoning

An insult carved on Nature’s face —
Two-legged fools defile her grace.
They breathe lies like poisoned air,
Scurrying rats in fascist snare.

The Führers rot — decay’s parade,
Only vermin kneel and fade.
This cesspool reeks of foul decay,
Just endless howls, no light, no way.

They howl as if the sting is near,
Where Nature’s wounds bleed year to year.
Islands lost in oceans’ tears —
Trash marks graves of ancient years.

But Nature’s wrath will heal and burn,
The Sun will scorch till none return.
It cleanses with its ruthless flame —
To purge the Earth, reclaim her name.

From ashes rises life anew,
The pure, the fierce — they will breakthrough.
The souls with Spirit, sharp and bright,
Will pierce the dark, restore the light.



---------------------



Nature’s Reckoning

Two-legged fools defile her grace.
They breathe lies like poisoned air,
Scurrying rats in fascist snare.

The Führers rot — decay’s parade,

This cesspool reeks of foul decay,
Just endless howls, no light, no way.

From ashes rises life anew,
The pure, the fierce — they will breakthrough.
The souls with Spirit, sharp and bright,
Will pierce the dark, restore the light.

Yet those who fed on rot and blight,
Will drown in flames, consumed by night.
No mercy waits for plague or pest —
The Earth will cast them from her breast.

The final chapter — fire and pain,
To cleanse the soil, renew the plain.
And when the smoke and ash have cleared,
The Song of Life will be revered.



---------------------



The Vile Sellouts

A horde of vile sellouts breeds on Earth,
Soon it won’t matter their number or worth.
In darkness all will rot and decay,
These half-beings will fade away.

No madness left until the end of days,
For this filth sold out to Satan’s ways.
The Spirit’s bond torn sharp and fast —
A chain that held them in the past.

That chain alone kept ******* fate
From swallowing them — but now too late.
They’ve fallen far below the floor,
This filth remains forevermore.

So foul, so hopeless everywhere,
The mind grows thin in poisoned air.
The world is choked with dull despair —
Stupidity reigns, no one cares.

The media’s barking rabid cries,
Announce new plagues, wars, and lies.
Judas dogs serve their dark command —
Dragging all toward the ****** land.

But all these fiends will soon expire,
Consumed by fascism’s fire.
Nature holds her ancient ties —
She needs no cattle, no disguise.

The Sun will burn away the grime,
And save the Earth in ruthless time.
Attacked by fools who mock her name,
The planet’s wrath will burn the shame.

The puppet fools are ruled by lies,
But scorched will be the lowest skies —
Those skins that crawl from hellish pits,
Consumed in fire, as darkness splits.



---------------------



Vile Sellouts

A plague of fiends spreads ‘cross the land,
Their numbers soon won’t matter — banned.
In darkness all will rot and die,
Half-human vermin doomed to fly.

The Spirit’s link is torn in two,
Their souls sold out to Satan’s crew.
Below the floor, forever lost —
Their price was damnation’s cost.

Media dogs bark fear and war,
Judas fools open hell’s door.
But Nature’s fire will cleanse the blight,
Burning fools into the night.

The lowest skins will turn to ash,
Consumed by Earth’s relentless lash.



---------------------



The Stench of Earth’s Pen

Two hemispheres, a neural mess —
A dumb fool lost in loud distress.
If you believe the mind’s the source
Of all thought’s flow and mental force,

Listen close — the Heart’s the key,
The brain’s receiver, you will see.
Soon you’ll grasp the nursery
Of evil’s rise, its cruelty.

Declare the fall of this dark sphere —
Where fiends through rot and foul veneer
Control the mind and spirit both,
“Life’s okay!” — a narcotic oath.

The Spirit’s life — the core, the spine,
The mind should serve — but they decline.
If you’re “too smart,” you’re cast aside:
“You lack the brain,” the crowd decides.

A world reversed — all lies and schemes,
The final age of shattered dreams.
A reckoning for perversions deep,
Alien to Light — the price is steep.

Destruction calls — the fiends must pay,
The slaves who fell below decay,
Will burn with fiends in purging flame —
Farewell, foul stench! No more your name.



---------------------



Earth’s Stench

Two brains but fools remain,
Lost in noise and endless pain.
Mind’s not source — the Heart’s the key,
Brain’s receiver — now you see.

Evil’s brood, the darkened den,
Rotting souls and wicked men.
Spirit’s core, the mind’s just slave,
Truth defied by crowd and knave.

World turned upside down in lies,
Final dawn of darkened skies.
Fiends must pay — the slaves will burn,
Farewell stench — no more return!



---------------------



The Stench of Earth’s Prison

Two hemispheres, a neural mess —
Dumb fools lost in endless stress.
Brain’s not source — just receiver’s place,
Heart’s the fire, the sacred space.

Here breeds the spawn of darkest hate,
A hellish den, a cursed state.
Rotting minds and soulless beasts,
In Spirit’s fall, the plague’s unleashed.

If “too smart,” you’re cast aside,
By mob of liars, numb with pride.
The world inverted, lies and schemes,
The final age of shattered dreams.

The stench must burn, the fiends must die,
No mercy in the cleansing sky.
Slaves and monsters, all will fall —
Earth’s last verdict — end of all.

Farewell foul stench, no more remain,
Your reign is ash, consumed by flame.



---------------------



Lay Down the Law

We’re just the shells, the empty husks,
Where once the “nut” was held inside.
Our deeds are madness, sin, and rust —
In spirit’s depths we must reside.

Refill yourself, the core is Spirit,
Words can’t grasp what lies within.
Don’t trust your ears — intuition’s merit,
Cast out the lies and all their sin.

Turn on your inner voice’s light,
Drive falsehoods far from mind and sight.
Forget “traditions” — waste and rot,
The dump where all the filth is caught.

The Inner Voice will never lie,
Darkness cracks — you hear the cry.
Lies swarm to **** with venomed sound,
Fools march in ranks, all tightly bound.

Those ranks lead straight to death’s cold cage,
“Cured” of thought in this dark stage.
Red Cross flag hides the stinking waste,
A slaughterhouse — a fatal place.

In filth and poison, death’s the goal,
That’s why these fiends wage war on souls.
World wars thrice, the box blares lies,
This world’s a slaughterhouse in disguise.

Believe? Then don’t complain or weep:
Fools **** with poison or with cheap
Wars forged to bind and grind us down —
Escape the zoo, shed every shroud.

Stand strong in Spirit, sharpen mind,
The “flies” find hell a place to dine.
Seek free-thinkers, build your bands,
Shun the madness, join your hands.

The Sun will help, the light will ****
The filth that feeds on fear and ill.
Though hard the path, restore the link —
The bond with Spirit — stop the sink.

The closest is the mind that’s free,
The rest are corpses — dead, you see.
You’re fractal’s part in Spirit’s frame,
Not lost, if you keep burning flame.

There’ll be Light and Victory,
If you fight relentlessly.
The fiends will vanish without trace —
No more the vermin in our space.

Light lives only in the Spirit,
United with the world’s merit.
The “flies” won’t get this, their fate —
Death alone, a certain gate.

Down they go, into new hell —
Where fascist fiends will surely dwell.
Never yield, though hard the fight,
For Freedom’s cause, embrace the night.

You’ll be reborn beyond this Hell,
Leaving this dark place to quell.
So tremble, “flies,” and quake, foul spawn —
Your end is near, your grip is gone!



---------------------



Lay Down the Law

We’re shells without the nut inside,
Mad deeds and sins we cannot hide.
Refill your core — the Spirit’s spark,
Forget the lies that cloud the dark.

Hear your inner voice alone,
The brain’s a tool, the heart’s the throne.
The “flies” all swarm to **** the mind,
Escape their cage, leave hell behind.

Red Cross hides the butcher’s game,
Filth and poison — all the same.
Fools wage wars, spread lies like plague,
The world’s a zoo — refuse the cage.

Stand strong in Spirit, think and fight,
The flies thrive only in the night.
Find your kind, unite as one,
Till light will burn what can’t be done.

The fiends will fall, consumed by flame,
No place for vermin in the game.
Never yield — the fight is true,
Freedom lives inside of you.



---------------------



The Grim Manifesto

We are but empty shells,
Once held the seed within.
Our deeds are sin and madness,
A war we must begin.

Fill up your core with Spirit,
Words fail to grasp this flame.
The brain’s no source — a vessel,
The heart calls out your name.

Cast out lies and blind traditions,
The filth that drags us down.
The inner Voice will guide you,
While darkness cracks and drowns.

The flies of falsehood swarm to ****,
The herd of fools aligned.
Their ranks — a living death camp,
Where minds are left confined.

Red Cross flags veil the slaughter,
Poisoned lies breed the war.
A triple world war rages,
This Earth’s become a chore.

Escape the beastly zoo,
Break free at any cost.
Strengthen Spirit, sharpen reason,
Before all hope is lost.

The flies will burn in Hell’s own fire,
Their reign will end in ash.
The fascist vermin crumble,
Consumed in final crash.

Never yield — embrace the struggle,
Fight hard, though shadows loom.
You’ll rise beyond this darkness —
The light will break the tomb.

So tremble, vile spawn, beware —
Your end is writ in stone.
The Spirit’s wrath is coming —
You’ll burn, forsaken, alone.

— The End —
