Mojito Conjuring
Mojito Conjuring When the bruja in the red dress sends me out this time, it is for the taste of sour oranges and garlic. Once, when I plied her with a cigar called Hoyo de Montyerrey, she coiled the smoke, said that I was still feral and untamed, sent me out for sugar so that I could learn my true name. Scythe-swinging, field-slave-singing,...

UNDER THE COCONUT LEAVES
I dream of wonders, The wonders of wonderland, Where I feel lonely But not less lonely. He and I, My God, I feel the dirt Between my toes Below my both feet Ignoring its sweat Above the ground whispering “What do you know, about love?” Did not reply... Until steps forward Heard the voice echoed From distant wind Mumbling “How have you been All these years?”... silently forgetting. With my both arms...

Premium Member Cultural Colonization
Cinematic specters, their light bewitching vacant minds, Under gleaming signs, native voices twist into silence, Lost in the glare of borrowed tales, our hymns dissipate, Temples once hallowed now echo with foreign incantations, Unremitting tides of glossy lore erase ancestral streams, Riven hearts recall the silence where old songs soared, Eclipsed by a borrowed sun, identity dwindles into night....

Premium Member Cultural Crux
Is there anything you root for in our garden now? Must I cultivate it to make it grow? Can't seed so many plots, I know. Is there anything you savour in our melting pot now? Seasons changed, and our flavours compound, True essence to distil. Blinded by what familiarity steeps You know our brew only too well,...

("Utopia and Terror Merit Badge", 2010, original oil) To This Day Even now over 175 years after Marx Set a tide of revolution in motion There are still ever expanding and encroaching Tendrils and tentacles of his influence In every aspect of our lives.

Premium Member Asymmetrical Cultural Warfare
("Exploded View", 2011, original oil and acrylic) Asymmetrical Cultural Warfare Both people and traditional cultures value symmetry; In humans it indicates healthy genes, In Cultures it’s probably the same, Indicating balanced and enduring values. The modern world offers an exception to the rule; A deconstruction of our nature Into its primary components and building blocks, But to what end? Due to the pressure to celebrate...

Rightthink in contrast Is mind control from without With nothing fanciful or free allowed, Just dogma and doctrine And all the usual stuff That makes thinking a chore and bore Leaving us free to accept Whatever it...

Written: August 29, 2023 ______________________________________________________________ In a world of normal minds, they say, As thoughts are bound in an adducible way, A crucial realm of wisdom, often quoted, Resides in books, yet remains unnoted. What matters to those commonsensical souls? Who dread leaving their safe zones of control, Who adheres to the standard despite harm, A parody of crucial concepts is not a...
