Nobel Peace Prize Winner / War Criminal

With the memory of an elephant
in an instant, I connect all the dots
this universe, from beginning to end
how awareness helps me to understand

that decisions decide how an event
how a catastrophe takes place, the thoughts
empty-headed fools rush to comprehend

miniscule amounts of the big picture
empty-handed, nothing to offer, spent
money, savings, equity, the whole lot
objectivity, hard to find, to learn
remember the past since the first onslaught
yesterday, they killed my family, they earn

only a pittance, if they read scripture
foreign to illiterate fools, a book

archaic, ancient tongues spoken, translate
needlessly for empty-hearted spokesmen

energetic thugs, endgame, king and rook
leave it to the billionaires not to care
elegant in their finery, too late
phonies surround the graveyard, born-again
horny goat weed tea drinkers, tusks in hand
as if I could change the past, would I dare
nothing but consequences, watch an ant
topple the kingdom, castles made of sand

Bombyx mori ~ Thursday, June 26, 2025

Will I ever be able to get out in a deep hole, unbearable pressure left alone, left to die, I fell down deep left to die, all alone without a doubt I fell down a deep hole, everything falls even if I retrieve sunken treasure visions of the sun make me fall asleep even if this world is a dream, this hole remains a metaphor, down here, the walls build up as I sink further down in debt enter the Mariana Trench, alone all alone, left to die by myself, bet butter is sweet, if I were left a bone left a bone to nibble on, if I stole enter the depths of hell, lonely, silent trouble with metaphors, they seem so real of course, I am pouring milk into milk given the world, thrown into roles, hell-bent each day to stay above water, I feel too much, Bombyx mori , I produce silk over and done, kicked out, homeless, I spent underneath overpasses, as to steal the money back, to die, and thus, to bilk if I could pay it back, every last cent no one but myself to pat, to unseal a...
