Devil's MuseI sold my soul, no soulmate remains,
Just ashes and echoes of celestial chains.
I slipped through the cracks of the devil’s gate,
Now I’m the storm you’ll learn to hate.
Bad ideas bloom like roses with thorns,
I’ll rewrite...

The Knower InhalingBe leaved
In your redemption
As whole
Leave is unworthy
Of spirit
Usual day

Under nectars perch, hast child as babe
Layed beneath wounds crown?
Neither beckon of blankets coldened ease
Wells, as slavic despondent ledgers
Nor, blathering distinct indemptions buffet
Break winds...

a symphony of logic, cold, strong.

no spirits whisper, no flames inspire.

Two EyesEveryone is upset these days
Trump it seems
is being obscene
rude to Ukraine
some say is insane

now it matters?
not a peep about Genocide Joe

dead by bombs signed
by smirking American leaders
One eye is open
the other...

Administration '25They're knocking at me door
In the middle of the night

Giving me an awful fright.

In HumanityImagine if you will
attending a holocaust memorial
at the very same moment
you support today's slaughters
this is inhumanity
hypocritical all
poets and politicians
to say I am disgusted
an understatement
to say I am filled with tears
a truth
inhumane
insane
your hatred ingrained

To never after be unfurled.
The captives held at Auschwitz,
Walking skeletons, at best,
Didn’t have to speak; their bodies
To their torture did attest.
It seemed incomprehensible,
But...

Bethlehem is ClosedThe birth place of Jesus
not a sound could be heard
the celebrations cancelled
surrounded by soldiers
the village living in fear
Christmas carols
only sung in silenced hearts
the oppressed shiver
with candles in the dark
snipers lurking in their nests
what dear child...
