Shudder the thought

Hide and Seek                     8/23/2017

The world trembles

At the thought

And many recoil

And clutch their pearls. 

That anyone could dare

And tell the truth

To awaken a giant

Long dormant

And silent.  

Overly patient

And slow to anger

The larger man

No longer guilty

Of nothing at all. 

Long suffering

The repeated blows

Savaged out of hatred

And jealousy. 

Rising up

To protect the future

Those yet unborn

Innocent

And pure. 

Knowing what is coming

Not long down the road

And willing to do

Whatever it takes. 

Untying his hand

From around his back

And learning to speak

With reason

And logic. 

No longer cowed

By baseless accusation

And no longer ashamed

Of the gift

And the blessings. 

Against the world

The few against the many

More than enough

To turn the tide. 

The cities burned

And the treasures looted

Laid waste

By murder

And assault. 

The predators will run

Like the cowards they are

Courageous only in packs

And unleashing their violence 

In sudden attacks. 

Scattered and wailing

They will gnash their teeth

All the while

Knowing and lying. 

The truth springs forth

And shatters the veil

As the unheard rise

From the dead

And the buried. 

Deliberately forgotten

The souls of the good

Accused by the unworthy

For what they themselves

Have done. 

Foreshadowing

The Glimpse         8/22/2017

Much is lost

But seldom gained

In the deep dark moments

Of abandonment

And rejection.

The world heaves

Heavy under the sun

Slowly rolling

Into time. 

Dropping down

Into darkness

The foreshadowing

Of memory

Long ago

And far away.  

Today they are the same

Just as they were before

Killing by proxy

What they wish

In name. 

Hunting down

Every last vestige

In words and thoughts

Raging against the light

And foaming at the the mouth. 

Whipped up

In a frenzy

And paid for propaganda

The evil masked men

Of genocide. 

Loaded up

And trucked in

They know

No one will speak

The madness of the mob

Ignorant and blind.

Once you see

There is no turning back

No matter what is said

And no matter what you hear. 

The lie is big

And it grows
like a cancer

Spreading like a disease

Everywhere you look. 

Changing places

And erasing words

Anything noble

And dignified. 

Spawning in the dark

And spread upon the shores

The mass of hatred

Surging forward. 

Marked is the moment

That the world stood still

A moment of pause

To use our free will. 

Blood on the moon

And darkness of the sun

Perfectly timed

A sign for the good

And judgment  

For the dumb.

Totality

8/22/2017

Another day
And another run
Spinning and tilting
Under the sun. 

Day is night
And night is day
The sign above
As it is below. 

Endless cycles
Click with the gears
A clockwork of time
In weeks, months, and years.

Over and under
The shadows pass by
Sun dappled dreams
Dripping with anticipation
Sharp, dark, and keen.

Clouds pass over
And split right on time
The moment of silence
Eternal, and sublime.

Who will heed
The warning
And who will see
The sign
Proof of all beginnings
Distance and design.

241 years
Two forty one
Day or night
The time for decision
For the truth
Or the lie.

Pray for all
Who may yet see
The truth outright
Forever offered
Eternal and free.   

Suppression

Active Suppression                       8/10/2017

Each and every

Any and all

Swallowed up

And slithered down. 

Circled around

And looped over

The good are cut off

Atomized and alone. 

Blindfolded, handcuffed

Ignorant and dumb

Many fumble in the dark

Unable to question

And unwilling to know.

Older and fewer

Isolated and vulnerable

Silently Suffocated like an invalid

With a pillow

On the face.

Nothing much remains

But a solitary spark

Barely burning

Deep in the heart. 

But nothing can save

He who will not see

Deluded till the end

The truly ignorant

And willingly hateful.

Today they are exposed

The complicit

And the guilty

Openly plotting

Evil and treason.

Full in the sun

The murderers in daylight

Cruel, treacherous

And filled with hate. 

Long hidden

And always omitted

The truly guilty

Foam at the mouth

Soon to squirm

And soon to pass. 

Boil Point

Boil Point      8/3/2017

The world burns down

In and out every window

And we all ride down

In the flames

Just like we always did before. 

Midnight blue

Is as good as black

Well ridden

With the top down

Turning and stopping

At just the right moment. 

Someone else

Will always

Sell you out

For money or protection

Pay for play. 

Lock, stock

And barrel

Everything is owned

Both you

And also me. 

Splattered across

The road

And all over the trunk

The truth out in the open

Barbaric and cruel. 

Men without a creed

Will do whatever it takes

For whatever they want

And whatever

They need. 

Lies mean nothing

A murder is a message

Ruling in secret

Far away

And far below. 

Banging on a pot

Just to get our attention

Anything to distract

While everything

Is stolen. 

All of it related

And all of it corrupt

The evil in the background

Ever present

And invisible. 

Hung out

For everyone to see

Murder and malice

Suddenly exploded

A threat for you

And also for me. 

We also

Skip our way home

Working and sleeping

In debt slavery. 

The dead cannot call

Even though they are screaming

Crying out

For anyone to hear.

All of it

Was a lie

And now

It is a mountain

Towering over

Steep and mighty. 

But soon

It will all crumble

And many will see

Inside

And down below. 

The hidden

Revealed

And the guilty

Judged.

At long last

Exposed

With bulging eyes

And gnashing teeth. 

Sunscreen

Sunscreen                            8/2/2017

Roll the dice

And pull the trigger

Dead or alive

Against the odds

The channel and the chamber.

 

The air is heavy

And we can all

Sense it coming

Who, what or where

The hour or the day. 

There is blood

In the water

Moving with the current

The strength of smell

Deep and dark.    

A dangerous time

For those who question

And even worse

For the good 

And the true.  

The worst

Will always double down

Unwilling to admit

That they 

Were wrong. 

Violently attacking

All who would oppose

By any means they can

To the vile depths

From which they rose. 

Hating you

And hating me

The truth their enemy

Shinning like the sun. 

Their lies have failed

And so also their theft

Cheating in their heart

And stealing

With their hands. 

Increasingly savage

They hide in their holes

Hatching ever more grotesque

Genocidal dreams

And suicidal goals.

A long time coming

The lever and the gears

Inching forward

No longer silent

And frozen with fear.

Unaccustomed to loss

The liars do conspire

Safe in the huddle

And living in

A gilded bubble. 

Their time will come

Sudden and sure

Caught up in the same

Trap that they made

Or ambush

they laid.

Now let us

Weather the storm

Spending all its fury

Futile and dumb. 

Lashing at the house

And surging at the shore

Doing all they can

And doing what they will.

Keep the faith

Even in deep despair

Even in loss

And terror. 

Ceaselessly pray

That we stay awake

Worthy in the end

Covered by truth

Now and then.
