Corruption

From the drip drip drip of the teardrops
To the chink chink chink of the cash
To the end end end of the friendships
To the wack wack wack of the bash
Corruption corruption corruption
Rules my soul
Corruption corruption corruption
Rules my soul
From the tick tick tick of your times up
To the yes yes yes of Ill sell
From the fact fact fact of the souless
To the pact pact pact with hell
Corruption corruption corruption
Rules my soul
Corruption corruption corruption
Chills my bones
Corruption corruption corruption
Rules my soul
Corruption corruption corruption
Chills my bones

May the starved now take in the retch'

England

WHERE'ER I go in this dense East,
In sunshine or shade,
I retch at the villainous feast
That England has made,
And my shame cannot understand,
As scorn springs elate,
How I ever loved that land
I loathe and hate!

Methodist Priest

A sudden speed
delayed by a sudden deed
leaving my mind weighted
and my body wasted
a man to bring me down
my face to wear a frown
sterotypical lies stretch
my stomach starts to retch
a murder is a murder and you're dead
'Hypocritical, ' is what I said
'Erroneous information, ' he stated
because his God is who I hated
He claims I am the devil's beast
but all he is, is a Methodist priest

Consequences

President, incident, accident!
Strech, wretch, retch;
Revered,
Hurled,
Loathed,
Certainly,
Vicious cycle!

To focus,
The mobs,
Attention,
To mobilize,
To marginalize!
And like provocations and reactions.

Free speech,
Adherents,
A red band,
Dent, sent, went! !
Quizzed,

On Tears

Tears is the break of my brow,
The moony tempestuous
Sitting downIn dark railyards
When to see my mother’s face
Recalling from the waking vision
I wept to understand
The trap mortality
And personal blood of earth
Which saw me in—Father father
Why hast thou forsaken me?
Mortality & unpleasure
Roam this city—
Unhappiness my middle name
I want to be saved,-
Sunk—can’t be
Won’t be
Never was made—
So retch!

Petite

the tiniest of watercolors
by a man called Ernst
transformed me into a caterpillar
dreaming of erstwhile flight.

my wings are powder-blue
like the cloudless sky:
I crisscross continents
ever on the fly.

I don't know what I eat
-perhaps nutrition is born and bred-
(not the cowdung that would make me retch) ,
maybe it's nutrients from the air I fetch.

I alight in a predetermined tree
and chew bloated leaves-
one summer passes,
and then I leave for good.

Shame, Shame

Raunchy rapists, rancorous garroters,
Gangsters, mobsters and white collar cheats are
Sure and secure in political shelters
Bad cops are busy carting homes, dirty grafts
Good cops are kept to guard lords and blackguards
Laws are interred deep under money vaults
Justice jerks, shirks to retch out of courts hearts
Mistake not; rule of law hasn’t come to a halt
Look at those piled up cases, cunning touts
And remorseless lawyers ruling the roost
And those cracking lathis on the weak backs
Of beggars, rikshapullers and street hawkers
Scared commoners dare not even stare
At the reigning outrage
How can an odd poet react; but to catapult
Letter darts; let someone read them or not

Displaced

It began at birth, when she summoned
All her might against a steady rhythm
Forcing her through a dark and wet canal.
Twenty hours she held fast, until she felt
the forceps close on her head. She tried
to cry out, but her lungs and nostrils were
full of a thick, viscous fluid.

Although her eyes were closed, she felt the
Harshness of a light above, as she emerged.
Hands reached down and shoved something in
her nostrils to clear the fluid. The same hands
grasped her tiny ankles and lifted upward.
She began to retch, and felt her lungs
Empty more fluid.

A slap stung her backside forcing a scream;

She cried her first bitter tears;
Tears for the imprisonment of her spirit

Soul Segments Sold

Always
artiste can exercise a way
up
from gutter’s grave.
A path pathos taken
to tardy tear stained top
to fleet fluffy
white cotton cloud heights.
Does retch really
want to pay passage price?

Tread upon steps comprising
bestial beating humourless hearts
in apish agony
as supplant stepped upon.
Look down upon cowed cows
to be merit milked at pasture.
Gaining nothing
but gold gilted silver
trinkets
