Ode to Mercy

HAIL the blackness
Beg it for mercy-
Through your weeping, smile and glow
Pray to God he shall let you go.
HOLD it in its highest
The very flesh of Evil
Hush your primitive moans, be serene and regal.
Listen for the angel - twill sing first sweet psalm
GLORY to him- be still and calm.
GLORY to Lucifer
Lie and deceive
Through gnashing of teeth, be willing to receive.
THEN and only then shall God command:
Go forth! Have mercy and take my hand.

“Blessed is the one
who does not walk in step with the wicked
or stand in the way that sinners take”

wrap it

as as like; if that’s what you
Paper thin you thinner than me prefer

Blue or silver? I’ve not a care. You’re the one wrapping so do as you dare.

whether in not; always with we
Herb: abundance or we’ll make do what got

but haze or cheese, and i’m the one wrapping we know sure well we gon need a lot.

something more perhaps

We need to keep it a burn something herbal or maybe more stern. Albeit though once it’s wrapped:
Puff by puff we’ll smoke it in turn.

Whence cometh February?

Fri, 12 Apr 2013 06:37:55 -0400

Whence cometh february,
The month annually I so do ignore. I shall
Hibernate. Tempt fate
Reminisce on the tears I bore

That tuesday.
In february.

Wet face
Cheeks sting
      lips: chap
        Eyes. Puff

Whence cometh february
     The month; per annum, I do ignore?

I remember the tears - I knew them well
So much I read prose
To each that fell
I know it’s crazed, that I so oft do dwell

On my tears. Which fell

On that tuesday. In february. In hell

Whence cometh February?

Bitch

Mon, 16 Jan 2012 10:21:58 -0500

Overriding sadness
Numb inside the chest
Overriding loneliness
Hidden in the nest:

Overriding Joy
Numb inside the chest
Overriding glee
Erratic thought process:

Overriding envy
Who is she anyway?
Overriding l-ve
Until the dying day:

Overriding medioka
Menial tasks
Overriding half-way
A collection of my masks:

Overriding choice
Doesn’t matter which
Choose to choose
Win to loose
Didn’t they tell you life is the bitch?

Do we have a free press?

Sun, 13 Nov 2011 19:00:00 -0500

What kind of illusion are we under when we think we have a free press when it’s clearly quite the contrary? A rather foolish illusion. In the UK we have a media system that is ran by an Australian-American business-person who is a genius when it comes to popular culture and media. In fact, he invented it. It is yet another hideous money driven capitalised industry that we are lead to believe we cannot live without.

This goes back to the industrial revolution were there was a boom in the growth of urban areas which brought people closer to cities and started to form urban areas. Society began to mix more as more transport became available and factories replaced jobs on the land. Factories mass producing clothes and finishing products such as clothes, make up and accessories were unheard of among the less fortunate members of society. Fashion only existed as a high art reserved for rich people. Fashion quickly became something we thought we needed. Factories were making clothes to sell to the masses, to print adverts in magazines and so the cycle is this: Jobs in the factories, jobs in the shops, jobs delivering goods, jobs in the magazine, jobs in the shops that sold magazines, jobs in the distribution of magazines. Jobs everywhere: money everywhere. It wasn’t just clothes being advertised in magazines, it was trends, behaviours, music and more; culture was being dictated to us. And It still is. There are stupid people all over this country, young stupid people especially. Minds have been tortured because these sick foreign business-pigs are telling people that the X-Factor and The Daily Mail are true representations of society when they are in fact engineered, synthetic versions of ‘needs and wants’ driven by money and greed.

People ought to put down their rags and turn of their televisions and put themselves in a position to make up their own minds about what’s going on. Maybe people should wake up to the reality of the The X Factor, Rihanna, The Sun, The Daily Mail, The Times, The Mirror and all the other twisted psychological tricks that are played daily in order to make money and facilitate more false ‘needs and wants’.

In answer to my own question, no we don’t have a free press and yes I do think Rupert Murdock should be prosecuted for his involvement in The Phone Hacking Scam and furthermore should be forced to close his company thus resulting in deportment back to the USA where his identified nationality is found. His ‘media giant’ should seize to exist as soon as possible so we can operate a clean press, a stable press and a controlled press. One in which children are not subject to corruption at the expense of obsessive business-pigs wallets’. How can we claim to live in a country free from governmental control when its evident that we are governed by one thing: the ‘need’ to make money by any means necessary.

Asa: Nina Simone of 21st Century

Thu, 27 Oct 2011 06:32:00 -0400

WOW! I cannot believe I have only just discovered this artist. Asa (a-sh-a), born in Paris, France to Nigerian parents, who’s birth name is Bukola Elemide, returned to Largos when she was two years old where she grew up until her return to Paris for education.

Her voice is a fusion of Nina Simone, Lauryn Hill and Badu yet remains uniquely hers; a beautiful gritty sound reminiscent of her heritage. With a voice as rich and as deeply thrilling as she is paired with refreshing, cool arrangements Asa’s music certainly made me feel good.

What are Human Rights?

Wed, 26 Oct 2011 18:07:00 -0400

“Do you think good behavior only existed after the Human Right Act?”

Human Rights are rights believed to belong to each and every person. Regardless of race, religion, language or association with a minority group, you are protected by this body of unity that will ensure you will always be treated with the utmost dignity a human deserves.

The above quote, and others throughout, are from BBC Radio 4’s Moral Maze quoting a fellow called James Bartholomew. I’d call him Stupid. A mindless fool. I’m not quite sure what he believes as his positions came across rather unbalanced and incoherent to say the least. He believed that he had legal rights, but not ‘abstract’ human rights.

“I do not believe that I have rights. I believe I have legal rights, but I do not have abstract ‘Human Rights’ and nor do you. You have just imagined them. They are a figment.”

What a fool. It turned out his real hostility was with Non-British people enjoying these rights in his country which is fair enough, but that is what comes as part-and-parcel of running a free society. Why should we deport foreign Fathers of British children? As far as I’m concerned every child has the right to a Father. There are children all over the UK who have no fathers because these men have chosen to abandon them. Why should we force willing, hardworking fathers out of the country when they are happy to work and provide for their British families? I think the government should really be encouraging family life in the UK; not that there is something wrong with being a single parent, but I’m sure most people, including my single-mother friends, would agree that a stable home is better than a disturbed one.

This is all to do with ‘Article 8- The Right to a Family Life.’ I don’t see anything the matter with that, nor do I see any need for change.

I disagree somewhat however with the concept that these rights are imaginary and that they are a figment of our imaginations; we have dreamed up our rights to rights. What a load of rubbish. If it is the law that all humans must respect one another I cannot see a single reason why it should cease to exist or even be amended. Wether within the ‘European Convention of Human Rights’ or the proposed ‘British Bill of Rights’ they should be basically the same. So why change them?

First introduced after World War II the European Union was set up so that each country within the union would continue to share equal standards to ensure future peace. It ensures that countries are free from fascist dictatorship and establishes a firm moral code. I think being a member of the EU is comforting, to know that at least if your government turn their back on you there is a higher body able to stand up for you is a luxury. A Government that does not wish to provide the public with such assurances as these must only be a government prepared to infringe these rights.

“Human rights are based on fiction”

When discussing Nazi Germany, Bartholomew responded with the quote above. He seems to be of the belief that the Human Rights Act was brought about following events he deems fictitious. I wouldn’t like to accuse any one of Holocaust denial but coming from a man which suggested homosexuality was a fashion, I really wouldn’t be surprised.

Human Rights are rights helping us grounded human beings live in a free civilised society clean from fascist ideology. It allows humans of all backgrounds to be treated with the dignity you would expect to be treated with. It brings families together. It allows homosexuals to parade their pride around city centers. It allows a free press and freedom of expression, it promotes equality, peace, liberty, trust and regulation. Clearly The Human Rights Act is a good thing, and you never know when you may be thankful for them yourself.

Yikes!!

Looks like the Olsen twins are starring in a remake of Hocus Pocus…

No?

Oh.

These two have always scared me, if the doppelgänger are not out and about looking like a double dose of Skeletor they’re desperate to impersonate SJP in 1993s Hocus Pocus.

In fact, I’d say the comparison was a complement to the twins.

With their faces always so vacant I seriously wonder where their brains have gotten to. There’s always something sinister about a certain type of American child-star. Lobotomised loonies.
