Born in a world of sin
A world filled with evil from the very beginning,
Greediness and selfishness,
With the existence of poverty, unemployment, crime and disease
Caused by our own human nature,
An inevitable cycle that continues from the past to the present future
Due to the prevalence of social...

“It is the custom of scholars when addressing behavior and culture to speak variously of anthropological explanations, psychological explanations, biological explanations, and other explanations appropriate to the perspectives of individual disciplines. I have argued that there is intrinsically only one class of explanation. It traverses...

Healthy families can be quick to anger
but, if so, they have also learned to be quick to forgive,
forgiveness redeems anger and fear to again risk mutual trust.

Partisan political leaders are not leading when they,
immersed in adversarial power positions,
are slow to forgive.
Well, OK, forgiveness, like mutual...

An insane System by any other name
Should still be considered simply insane

A prison by any other name
Could well be the throne 
Of a primitivist's brain

A lifestyle by any other name
Would prefer to be called a "subculture"

A truth by any other name
May well be an early...

"Redemption: The Children of Infinity" 


from the belly 
of the new world
revolution sleeps 

biding its time ;

when all the walls 
of Rome crumbled
new empires dreamed 

of freedom,

releasing humans
baptised demons
no need for, sentient reasons,

no need for law 
religion, politics
justice, judgement

outlawed 
now corrupt,
now defunct 

in the 
One...

The raging party goes on into the night 
Near the market place 
Where the poor search for a fix
In the royal kingdom of religion 

The girls come and go like birds in the wind
Enjoying the musical calls of black morning
The call of bootlegged bottles 
From...

After the rains, 
it was a full moon
in summer night.

Fleeing from a subculture-
of violence, she was
nestling in the arms of clouds.

A lost killer swearing 
with bruised arms,
raking up the old vendetta-

beheads the phallic
image. A brutalizing
score, when we were celebrating

the moon’s arrival. There was
no impropriety in...

Giant bruises from words pulse on the inside of my chest
The past's grip comes biting at my head
I saw a girl beat up by bullies on the news this morning.
Meanness and anger meant nothing to the best of their parents.
Emotions of remorse and regret are...

You hope that university will answer all of life’s questions, but nope.

I don’t know, 1.
There was a guy who’d been hanging around outside our residence lately. Too consistently. At first, I thought he was someone’s friend but he’s always alone. He wasn’t doing anything or...

For all the weighted years of empires
Stockpiled with human grief
For all the fallen towers of desires 
From which love has no relief
For all the cargo of the heart and ships
Tossed and turned where water whips
Across storm battered seas
For all the load of civilizations
Buckling him down...

Dark Ages at The Deep End  ( For Alex )



What does our society teach our children
Churn them out as fodder
For the cultural use of consumerism

The empty promises of success
And the great grand promise of never ending wealth
Plies them with ever needful obsessions

Scientific, mathematical, technology
Tested,...

my pain grows tall like sugar cane
destroying my mental state with decay
a chemical labotomy to part east from west
the subculture of my dementia united in fear
to haunt the infrastructure of this ghost
to rebuke the host from his agitated abode
to row down stream to go under...
