2022 – The Reign of Tyrants

2022 – The Reign of Tyrants

Here we are in twenty twenty-two
the year insanity consumed the zoo
with lockstep fascism in the west
through destructive mandates that they pressed.

Thank goodness for our freedom convoy
that broke the spells with tears of joy
exposed the media in their disguise
and the government’s pernicious lies.

But insanity did not abate
as censorship claimed the western state
consolidation in point of view
with narratives controlled by a few.

Tyranny dropped its vaccine mandates
for foreign policy of the states
where a sponsored coup made civil war
an eight-year proxy on Ukraine’s shore.

No need to deny, peace was destroyed
Merkel confirmed Minsk was a ploy
to build an army, destroy their foe
Russian Donbass with nowhere to go.

The rise of monsters backed by the west
Svoboda, Azov and all the rest
a wave of violence and genocide
with propaganda that amplified.

Bombing stepped up in eastern Ukraine
by western backed forces once again
Donbass region all under attack
Russia no choice, protected their back.

Western leaders, subservient trolls
to U.S. dictates and monstrous goals
NATO continues encroaching more
rips up agreements they made before.

US sanctions for an added squeeze
hubris and lies their gravest disease
billions of dollars for marauders
Ukraine’s people as cannon fodder.

Energy war, unfolds on E.U.
striped away ties with Russia that grew
Nord Stream two bombed under the Sea
energy pipelines to Germany.

American hatchet across the Rhine
now all of Europe’s in steep decline
inflation has gripped the root of life
with energy loss leading their strife.

Russia targeted with U.S. bombs
Crimean bridge without any qualms
Russia replied across the Ukraine
electrical grid was bombed to contain.

Ukraine’s people are caught in between
western ignorance and war machine
and when Russia wins, tides will be turned
walls will remain, with hard lessons learned.

Hope prevails at end of the year
as twitter exposes the driving fear
the lies of tyrants in collusion
that push their evil twisted illusions.

The story concludes in twenty-three
by then I hope the people will see
the broadcast of lies that feathered belief
the reign of tyrants that brings no relief.
-----------------------------------------------

About this Poem: When we entered 2022, there was a lockstep tyranny throughout the west forcing everyone to take dangerous mRNA shots. It was a very dark time for everyone that saw through the lies, as individual freedoms were under attack by the very nations that claimed to uphold them.

As people began to push back, governments throughout the western world dug in their heels and forced people to take these dangerous shots. It wasn’t until the Canadian Truckers Freedom Convoy rolled across the country into Ottawa with the rise of Canadian citizens across the political spectrum that the spell of fear on the population was truly broken. The ground swell of protest spread across the world shining its light and calls for freedom.

As the forced mandates began to fall under the pressure of civil protest, the same western governments, led by the U.S.A. then turned their sights on Ukraine. A country controlled by an evil regime with genocidal ambitions; that came to power under a violent western backed coup in 2014. The US doubled down on the eight-year civil war they had created in Ukraine and began a series of events that they knew would draw Russia into the conflict. Not only did the US continue their economic sanctions war on Russia, they forced the European nations to go along with them despite the serious destruction these sanctions had on the European economies. Europe is staring economic collapse in the face while the conflict in Ukraine comes to its conclusion.

There is no way back for Europe if they continue following the belligerent foreign policy of the American government. The Ukrainian and Russian people are same and are interconnected. When this conflict ends, and the genocidal puppets are removed from power in Ukraine, the voices of the Ukrainian people will once again be free to speak out against the atrocities they endured under the violent fascist regime that Europe and the West backed.

As 2022 comes to an end, we are beginning to see the truth come out as the Twitter files prove beyond a shadow of a doubt, that censorship was placed across the internet by a collusion of corporate power and government; which by definition, is the very substance of fascism.

There is hope for 2023 in that eyes will open. We’ve come a long way in a year and things will probably not get better economically, but I believe there will be more transparency and public debate as long as free speech continues to regain its footing on twitter.

Fallen Idols

Fallen Idols

One by one the idols fell
draped within the covid spell
words of fire before the fall
pushed the mandates one and all.

Common sense and truth they spurned
plead forgiveness to those they burned
harm they’ve done not in their thoughts
and still believe in the shots.

Shots that cause young heart attacks
death and injuries by the vax
warnings trampled in their wake
by puppet actors they did make.

Arrogance and hubris crept
words of caring so inept
goosestep marching with the news
narratives with twisted views.

Now that truth has come to pass
breaks the spell upon the mass
light is shining, rising fast
on who said what in the past.

One by one the idols fell
draped within the covid spell
words of fire before the fall
pushed the mandates one and all.
----------------------------------

About this Poem: Right from the beginning, movie, music and television idols pushed the twisted narratives on mask, lockdowns, isolation and mRNA shots against a backdrop of evidence of their harm. Some of these idols went out of their way to demonize anyone that disagreed with the governments covid narratives, calling for the unvaccinated to be locked up and removed from society completely, even when evidence proved that the shots were causing massive injuries and premature deaths (still happening). Now that twitter is exposing the censorship and that government colluded with google, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and Microsoft to censor the conversation of doctors, professors, investigative journalists and whistleblowers, we are seeing an awakening happening while silence lingers within the news and entertainment industry…this poem speaks to the illusion that these so-called idols care about you…they do not.

Open Wounds



 

Open Wounds

The feverish clouds gave it away
valley slate couldn’t hide it for long
industrial engine, open wounds
all out of place and didn’t belong.

Voracious feeding of power greed
made easy by the new arrivals
of slave camps filled with the dispossessed
who barely held onto survival.

Our lands invaded and seized by kings
cut and parceled for crowns taxation
borders drawn on what they stole
that then evolved into our nations.

Their empire flourished around the world
they smothered us with rules and restrictions
that loss of freedoms for all our clans
with constant threat of eviction.

Industries grew, banks created,
governing parasites' controlled it all
through mortgage games and interest rates, 
and inflation before our fall.

No matter whom or where we're from,
our stories are filled with grief
prohibited from owning our lives
by narratives controlled by a thief.

The Ride

The Ride

Essence plays upon the earth
it weaves and dives the peaks with grace
a thrilling ride of sturm und drang
with hush of wind upon the face.

Every climb, a mountain conquered
and every fall the ride does make
a gift of freedom and a choice
compiles a lifetime in its wake.

Memories made are set to film
to play in hind sight on the train
like shooting stars, they come to pass
endearing sessions in their refrain.

Glee and joy, inseparable twins
beam from eyes wide open and tall
these moments made from all we touch
long deep breaths to catch them all.

To look ahead when mind is full,
when time and breathing are then short
we wish to live it once again
this ride and gift we do exhort.

Rebirth in essence on the earth,
to weave and dive the peaks with grace
relive the ride of sturm und drang
with hush of wind upon our face.
------------------------------------

Notes: Sturm und drang - A proto-Romantic movement in German literature and music which occurred from the late 1760s to the early 1780s, emphasizing individual subjectivity and the free expression of emotions.

Stockholm

 


Stockholm

Take us to the village square,
the town between the bridges,
Agnafit may claim its name,
above the lofty ridges.

Mälaren greets Baltic Sea,
and boats are laden to go,
to trading centers on the coast
where ancient stories flow.

The Æsir gods and Vanir,
no longer wage their wars,
a Viking town that still remains,
in the drinking halls indoors.

A hardy toast to the king,
a ritual at this haunt,
days of old, return in runes
at the Aifur restaurant.

Songs of journeys, stories told,
at gatherings in great halls
where mead does flow from lofty cups
with boisterous cheers of Skål!
---------------------------------

Poem Notes: Agnafit is the original old town where Stockholm was founded. It is located where Lake Mälaren meets the Baltic Sea.

The Æsir gods and Vanir are the gods of the Vikings

Aifir = The Aifur Restaurant – Stockholm Sweden

Skål means Cheers

Migration Retreat

 


Migration Retreat

Rolling greens touch the sky,
below the mountain peek,
its jagged teeth draped in snow
where roads less traveled meet.

Sovereign essence sails free
above blue turquoise skies
taken by the earth to pray,
I cast my old disguise.

Operit winds sing their songs
observe migrating geese,
where I’m at in my mind
I’ve come to find my peace.
-------------------------------

*Note: Operit = the operatic sound of the wind

Chains


Chains

Raging monsters have seized my soul,
my hands and feet are tied and bound,
a lonely place reserved in hell,
where no tobacco can be found.

It’s dry as ice, this forsaken place,
anxious moments on the rocks
fermented spirits sing their songs
and all the silver demons talk.

“It’s ok! What’s one gonna’ do?
There’s no harm in a little think,
wash all your wee troubles away.
Relax, and have that smoke and drink.”

Then those ripping chains of rage
with iron shards of conviction rake,
casting essence into the flames
where light brigade in gallop, breaks.

The war is on, in defiance
and the battles rage everyday
to break your spirit and your will
the demons, relentless play.

As time does pass like broken glass
and mine fields claim their victims,
the old world dies another death
from chains and games of addiction.

A Mirage of Time


 Artist info: Watercolor by Viktoria Prischedko

A Mirage of Time

Winds of providence have increased,
by breath of dreams that transit east,
they wave in blue and pallor white,
to fill my mind, transfix my sight.

I’m captured by hermetic signs,
that speak to artists in our times,
providing vision and consent,
to strike a chord that’s heaven sent.

Entangled essence, Aegean seas,
sounds of Mykonos in the breeze,
moving slowly, in slender forms,
unaware of approaching storms.

Mirage of time in beryl scenes,
a polity of diverse means,
life moved slower, a different pace,
protected by Apollo’s grace.
----------------------------

The Poets Crossroads

The Poets Crossroads

I think I’d like to play a game,
where famous poets stake their claim
around a table we’d apply
our crafty words upon the di.

A jumpin’ joint on southern road
where poets gather to unload
their rolling words from dusk till dawn
with bois’trus crowds to cheer them on.

On stage the poets would gather so
with Hughs, Cummings and Edgar Poe,
Will Shakespeare, Yeats and Angelou,
Mark Twain, Frost, Li Bai, and Du Fu.

All would journey to play the game,
called to table, their pride and fame
with fausty judge that talks in rhyme,
haiku panel that measures time.

Night after night excitement grows
when metrists deal their crafty prose
to challenge all their fellow bards
all measured strictly by their yards.

Best brevity’s chocked full and loose
chromatic colors give them spruce
a limb of words that they can strut
but careful now, cause’ they can cut.

It all happens and unfolds,
at poet’s corner and crossroads
don’t believe me, just come and see,
on fun filled website called A.P. 😉

Dream Home


Dream Home

If only I could build a home,
on forest land that wasn't owned,
I'd build it by the rivers edge,
enough away, above a ledge.

I’d choose a spot with lots of trees,
that stand like guardians to the breeze,
in coexistence to assure,
with lots of wildlife to be sure.

I’d grow my food that I would share,
and during harvest, say a prayer,
look up to stars and then immerse,
give thanks to God and universe.

I ponder how to make it true,
this dream of mine that I’ve thought through,
before the punch clock steals my prime,
and I’m not left with any time.

Propaganda


Propaganda

What is history when not read
or viewed from all perspectives,
but left to an anchor’s feed
with obsidian objectives.
------------------------

Under the Ruins


Under the Ruins

In the quiet moments of passing moons,
when the owl glides obsidian air,
not a heartbeat is heard,
but the thump is sure felt,
as talons grasp its prey on the dunes.

Those left behind are spattered in mourning,
sand, a silver glow smothered in shadows,
many heartbeats are heard,
and their thumping’s sure felt,
by empathic witness under the ruins.
----------------------------------------

A Parents Promise

 


A Parents Promise

Behind the window, tucked away
our promise waits by night and day
with pine cones, oranges and a fire
a place to sleep and retire.

Although you’re out there on your own,
we’ll always be here by the phone,
with ear to listen and advice,
not too preachy but concise.

There’ll always be a home for you
to help you heal and see you through,
no matter when, no matter how,
we’ll take the burden from your brow.

When you’re hungry, we’ll be there,
to help you through what drives despair,
to greet you with a pleasant smile,
and welcome you to stay awhile.
-----------------------------------

A Six Week Drift

 A Six Week Drift

The seasons changed, a six-week drift,
the magnetic poles have shifted,
less geese in autumn, flying forth,
the weather’s sleeping in the north.

Leaves stayed green through October,
missing color left me sober,
the seasons changed a six-week drift,
but then the cold brought autumn swift.

Now winter hovers over spring,
the seasons changed, a six-week drift,
cooler weather through month of June,
the warmer clime won’t come too soon.

Magnetic shield weakens so,
a spinning planet dynamo,
normal cycle in polar shift,
the seasons changed, a six-week drift.
------------------------------------------


The Race

The Race

My race began in nineteen sixty.
I’m aged and weather-worn, still afloat
with sails torn and failing rudder,
but in the race with my rebel boat.

Yet time has claimed so many things
and so many friends I’d come to know,
all of us racing to catch the sun
before the falling of winter snow.

Ocean currents forever blowing,
much faster now in these gathered years.
I’m sitting still as the tides roll on
where I ponder victories and my fears.

I ponder on all the people met,
many challenges within the race,
to live forever, we did believe
with excitement and blistering pace.

But storms arose, our connections lost,
the racing season came to an end,
my attention fixed on building boats,
while losing touch with all of my friends.

I questioned how my world diminished
as my communion began to fade.
I dropped my sail to watch the sun,
discovered my path was poorly made.

I changed my habits, rebuilt my boat,
studied all the maps that passed me by,
to then discover the secret isle
that answered all my questions why.

and as I sit here watching the sun,
with the new connections I have found,
I find we’re of the older mind,
but morally in tune and conscious bound.

Although time changes the path’s we’re on,
with the barbs and spears that left their trace,
the lessons learned and the friendships made,
were all a blessing in proper place.

Where Have All Our Statesmen Gone?

 

Where Have All Our Statesmen Gone?

Where have all our statesmen gone,
with interests not involved in crime
that show respect and honesty
and build our country with their time.

Instead we have a useless bunch
with condescending smiles
all lousy actors, some insane
a hubris that compiles.

Forever they keep floating up
no way to get rid of their smell
sewage made for TV screens
these candidates all from hell.

A condescending carrousel
that spins around to change the face
with pure excrement in the wings
that they expect us to embrace.

Statements made, subversive speeches
with crafted empty platitudes
while rubbing shoulders with their kind
in club G7 attitudes.

“Look at us, we’re the gods of all!”
“you peons will do as we say!”
their arrogance is out of hand
with belligerence on display.

Regardless of the year to date,
regardless of western nation,
politics is mental disease
and parasitic mutation.

Bush, Obama, Trump and Biden
they claim a moral position
while burning down economies
for merger and transition.

Sarkozy, Hollande and Macron,
swagger arrogance as French kings
they boast themselves as thunder
but have those paper bag swings.

Johnson, Truss, now Rishi Sunak
are another English layer
of that condescending factor
by bad actors and bad players.

But no ones more embarrassing
than Canada’s Justin Trudeau
cause he’s just like that Harper
with a narcissistic show.

They’re all involved in council’s greed
and the C.F.R.’s corporate game
partnered with the banks and WEF,
that ruthless triad has no shame.

And Germany, what happened there?
Have politicians lost their minds?!
They’ve turned their country upside down
with massive shock of fiscal kind.

Don’t get me started with Ardern
to New Zealand, she’s a lune
callous queen so condescending
no intelligence, she’s immune.

So where have all our statesmen gone,
with interests not involved in crime
that show respect and honesty
and build our countries with their time.

Little Worth

 

Little Worth

I shall not like to find myself
in a country that’s at war,
for the depths of that depression
just chills me to my core.

Unlike the newsreel movies,
so illusive of the feel,
in reality, there’s anguish,
for the lives that they do steal.

…and outrage breeds determined might
with solemn inhumanity,
that never heals over time
in remembrance of calamity.

Of all the wars I’ve come to know
through my prison here on earth,
I find that I’m more angry,
and that money has little worth.

War Weary

 

War Weary

In Viet Nam, where my shock began
American news with one-way views
the channel change, with the contrast strange
so high on the hill, “thou shalt not kill”
children were running for their lives.

Then came Iraq with U.S. attack
American news with one-way views
the end of trade with US blockade
and Madeleine spit, “it was worth it”.
children were starving to their graves.

Afghanistan, a new war began
American news with one-way views
the boogieman verses uncle Sam
climbing inflation to damnation
children terrorized in their homes.

Iraq again to inflict more pain
American news with one-way views
no W.M.D.’s, U.N. striptease
white powder and war guns louder
more children buried in the sand.

In Palestine, there’s a bloody line
American news with one-way views
seventy-five years all filled with tears
a cauldron of lies as its disguise
children are tortured, burned and bombed.

Two thousand eight began wars of hate
American news with one-way views
on foreign soil where there’s oil
insanity, and calamity
millions more buried in the sand.

Libyan dreams to NATO extremes
Syrian pride against terrors side
Yemen’s poor against the Saudi war
the eight-year war on the Donbass poor
American news with one-way views
War? I’m weary of who’s in charge.

Matrix Glitch

 


Matrix Glitch

There’s only so much one can do
to lend a hand and see them through
they must be willing to unlearn
all that leaves them unconcerned.

The way we live is all controlled
programmed to do what we are told
minds are mushed by cell’s and T.V.
cast in illusions most can’t see.

Our education molds a pawn
critical thinking’s frowned upon
and when someone breaks from the box
a dressing down comes from the hawks.

Common knowledge that’s built on lies
permeates people in disguise
consumer driven, debts galore
feeds the twisted banking core.

Disposing things to large landfills
mountains of trash made by their will
receding forests to the sea
oceans filled with plastic debris.

Shareholder greed is all I see
robber barons get off Scott free
higher rents while poverty grows
why is it we’re struggling so?

From my vantage, I see the glitch
it won’t take much to make a switch
expose the matrix, open eyes
and watch a better world arise.

Yin and yang are in the balance
held together by a valance
and should this curtain just undo
our consciousness would then come through.

With natural laws we’ve been given
educate to nature driven
build community to embrace
we’ll make the world a better place.

On the Open meadow, I can see forever

On the Open meadow, I can see forever

Verdant plains so lush and fair
intoxicating greens fill the air
respiring meadow, catches the eyes
mist has lifted, under azure skies.

Wind picks up, performs with the hay
in perfect sonata the two of them play
above the chords are freedom and flight
that sing of companionship to the light.

Off in the distance the tide is leaving
beryl oceans convey my breathing
an opus of life in perfect communion
my daily routine with natures reunion.

The European Flying Circus

 

The European Flying Circus

E.U. played their power game
forced their members into shame
now they teeter on the brink
sanctioned Russia, did not think.

Germans fumbled Nord stream two
now they don’t know what to do
sergeant Scholz leads all the sins
of bankrupt leaders in Berlin.

EU members have no gas
sanctions now, it will not pass
poverty will seize them all
one by one their leaders fall.

Europe’s union in defeat
economics in retreat
Von der Leyen holds the crown
shakes the E.U. upside down.

Boris Johnson finally gone
Monty Python got it wrong
twits survive the stupid race
Lizzy Truss now in your face.

Draghi gone in Italy
broken roads to Tripoli
soaring debts now bring the worst
not the last time nor the first.

Spain jumps on the E.U. bus
calls for sanctions on the Rus
Pedro Sanchez sports the lie
acting like some big tough guy.

Energy drives prices high
inflation rockets to the sky
Europe panics, fights within
Poland ready, pulls the pin.

Viktor Orban warns the lot
Hungary will not be bought
continues buying Russian gas
until Christmas, gets a pass.

Macron turns to foreign soil
desperate now for gas and oil
war room maps are under lights
Africa is in their sights.

Unrest mounts on E.U. shores
stoking fires to start wars
global trade has split in two
with Europe looking like a zoo.

Mounting threats from EU crown
Russian leaders won’t back down
didn’t start the stupid war
but they will end it at their door.

Europe’s needs are right next door
no need to bleed anymore
break the contract with U.S.
get yourselves out of their mess.

Africa

 


Africa

Lightening strikes across the dunes
displacing thoughts from tiny rooms
broken pipelines oil and gas,
shattered like Egyptian glass.

Far away in breaking news
mountains made with tiny views
shattered like Egyptian glass
truth the victim in their cast.

Blood is rising, people mass
shattered like Egyptian glass
interference someone’s drones
powered all by banking loans.

Shattered like Egyptian glass
Europe has a looting pass
from south to east, north to west
NATO nations take the rest.
-----------------------------
About this Poem: Africa has been under siege for all its resources by European and NATO powers for a very long time, but especially for its oil and gas in modern times as we’ve seen through the wars on African oil and gas producing nations such as Libya, Sudan, Nigeria, Angola, and others. The theft of resources by European and NATO nations is not just limited to oil and gas however, but extends across the spectrum of commodities that support the European and US parasitic interests.

Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi wanted to unify the African nations together under a fair common gold backed currency. Unfortunately, NATO, the US and Europe put an end to that. The African nations need to unite within their own countries and then together to protect themselves from the scavengers of colonialism which continues to threaten the entire continent.

Lights, Camera, Action

 

Lights, Camera, Action

When everyone’s at the top of their game
for project of worth and not for the fame
concentration, and professional cast
bring forth a picture that’s meant to last.

Actors, stage hands camera men and grip
directors, producers and the writers of script
the music and lighting, props and design
goals do exceed when all do align.

The setting begins in black and white,
with shadow of bars on window of light
smoke then rises as the camera pans low
to a table and chairs on prisoner’s row.

Pans to a face for the viewers apprise
there’s a worried look in his distant eyes,
with echoed voices just outside the room,
his cigarette burns in a greyish plume.

The door then opens, detective’s step through,
content with their options and what they’ll do,
the questions begin with where he had been,
“and don’t lie to us cause you had been seen.”

The scene then moves too a place in his mind,
where an intimate smile’s clearly outlined,
the scenes in color with joy in the air
vision of beauty with long auburn hair.

“You will talk to us” cop comes into view,
slamming his fist down between the two
prisoner stays quiet, goes back to his dream
to unfold the story in next group of scenes.

CUT
-------

Shall I write a book? 😉 Do you want to know more? Of how he escapes, and walks out the door. And why was he there, what did he do, and who was that girl he was speaking to?

The stories begun, I have you on hook, but if you want more just wait for the book. Great films begin there.

Abandoned

Abandoned

Spinning wheel, spinning time
clocks abandoned with a chime
cabinets with rustic flair
window panes let in the air.

Household plants have overgrown
thrived on sunlight on their own
watered by a leaky roof
house no longer weatherproofed.

Leaves have gathered on the floor
no one lives here anymore
house abandoned long ago
yet secret treehouse still aglow.

When night peaked in with its gloom
oil lamps seen, lit the room
favorite books passed time away
kept the demons all at bay.

Rumpelstiltskin comes to mind
for here is spun a home so fine
that did not wait for others claim
abandonment is such a shame.
-------------------------------

Notes: Rumpelstiltskin is a German fairy tale. It was collected by the Brothers Grimm in the 1812 edition of Children's and Household Tales. The story is about an imp who spins straw into gold in exchange for a girl's firstborn.




Towards Our Own End

 

Towards Our Own End

The world’s divided by western decree
all under control across earth and sea
yet chaos consumes where order should be
while poverty plagues all humanity.

U.S. and Britain are dragging us down
they’re using Ukraine as their battleground
with NATO partners and weapons inbound
in a proxy war with Russia they’re found.

They’ve cornered themselves with all of their lies,
have nowhere to go except their demise
inflation’s rampant, economy dies,
for oil and gas are fading supplies.

Wars by proxy, they’ve created a foe
controlled by the press to put on a show
they need our consent to give it a go
Russia and China won’t back down you know.

War is coming if we continue this trend
by western leaders who refuse to bend
they’ve created a foe instead of a friend
and we keep on moving towards our own end.
