As Above, so below

Above Another anarchy admired, adorned and always abandoned Gods' guides given gifts galore: Gloriously gilded, grim graves Wild winds will weave wonder were wannabe winners wont wager Everlasting enigmas evenly estranged, etched, engraved, elegant ecstacy Fatal flirtations, fit for freedom from fictions, finds footprints frozen, fearful Hollow hello's hold holy heathen helplessly hampered, hell hounds See soldiers stand silhouetted starkly somewhere simple, sane Bold, brave bards, bellowing...

Wese van Welwillendheid

Suf gesif aan leuens en halfwaarhede stort ek soms stilweg ineen waarde, waarheid, welwillendheid raar eienskappe in 'n woeste wêreld agendas en agterdog alomheen wie is wie en wat is wat? ek kan dit nie oorlaat aan vreemdes om te dikteer wat ons moet glo elkeen moet sy pad self vind maar baie sloer net voort en val oorboord sonder 'n samehangende stem word ons ook maar net nog ape wat soos gekke en swape dronk deur die nag van onheil strompel soos wese sonder tuiste waar is my huis nou?...

Timeless Scribes

Voices gather from far and wide from long ago through to today on mashed reeds and timber on rocks and liquid crystal Among these whispers Imhotep, Moses... and many more Sit at their table and drink from their cup Without these men and the Spirit that guided them we would still be beasts of burden ruled by monsters Open your hearts and listen carefully They are still saying what you should hear Sign in to see full entry.

Unbearable lightness of being

Long after I saw these words way back then they have now come back to haunt me In the company of seriousness by pen I sometimes feel that lightness lost in the very effort of cutting the chains and that certainly is not worth the cost Sign in to see full entry.

Primal primate pondering

A company of Apes for aeons here escapes thrashing through the dense forest of ideas dressing up and decorating the mundane with drapes some get lost and some are found some break open worlds and some give it new shapes From time to time a distant, ancient story will repeat of birth and hope and love and fruits like grapes In the company of Horus and his mates Injected in here to give the world some shakes no longer Kings or even Knights In the company of strange and estranged Apes Sign in to see full entry.

A stranger's bloody hand

I was shot he said a dark stranger on a stranger night all the holy people stared no movement I was just a child I lifted up his blood drenched shirt a bullet hole for sure I knew that much by then Can I use your phone I asked a nod As the ambulance took the man I knew They didn't care the prophet didn't know Thank you my unknown friend in blood You taught me well that strangest night Sign in to see full entry.

Whispers of Freedom

Whispers in songs truth in poetic lyrics it's been here al along Inspiration from the Universe sing along and know you are not alone For God has given us this time and the strength and courage to face our fears and overcome adversity we are the eyes and ears and minds of the Earth and the Universe here Let us not forget our brothers and sisters who are dying, trying to live their lives Let us not sit idle and dream of better days without lifting a finger to make it happen today even if we feel...

A Vow Renewed

May we who came here to lend a hand from now till the end together stand let us not forget our vows to wait until the last of the least walk straight May we be the last to go and even if this seems too slow let us don the armor of patience we have grown and water the seeds our Lord has sown Sign in to see full entry.
