Scorned ~ Tuesday, April 7, 2026

I was born in Bombay

would that I could return
as if I never left
subtle difference, Broadway

born to die, live to thrill
one deserves a good turn
remember how bereft
neglected children feel

instantly, poised to kill
nobody cares a lick

Bolsheviks on the whole
ordinary, relic
made to serve a lost goal
burdened with past appeal
as they say, I was born
yes, in Bombay, forlorn

Ideology and Strife ~ Sunday, March 30, 2025

History better served with just deserts Honor, not worth a fiver to a thief ignorance thrives when hubris seeks fresh blood solemn with grandeur and pomposity tranquil as rivers run crimson in grief obsequious attention washes hands righteous, the faith of wet nurses who brood yolkless eggs, white as veneers, no pity burns with ashes cast to the wind, snow blind eagles observe winter year round, the sands temporarily stop, grains cease to fall temporality, a pendulum swings eternity, like honor, words thieves call religion, the sacrifice money brings shiftless, automatic actions soon bind eager beavers to build and spread good news rivers change ideas, flux, all movement flows vision envisions a kaleidoscope enter luxury in light, none refuse delicious splendor and magnificence wicked charity, dear, candle flame blows incestuous riots, eyes cannot cope troubled sight cites desert blindness, the cause hopeless without beauty, such opulence justifies disparity, the...

Report from the Besieged City ~ Friday, December 26, 2025

Walk away and do not interact with Walled in the besieged port city of Kot awkward glances as I walk past others left behind, an entourage of the king kindness unexpected, a smile, our lot ask not what lies ahead, history proves witnesses do not last, neither mothers agents of creation, what do I bring yes, good question, nothing, or maybe less agents of hope await rescue, the grooves neither loose nor tight as the axle spins decisions made not to suffer from strife distant voices heard, how it all begins obsessed with victory, the jinn breathe life not as the good people dream, I could guess organized hordes break down the western gate terror ensues, unarmed murder and rape instantly, my throat cut and left for dead nothing to do, how to help, such is fate triumphant in their mission, they soon leave exactly how I remember, a cape red with dried blood, covered my corpse, black bread answers my prayers, though I will never speak cowardly slaughter, I am left to g...
