My Notion About Politics
Lie as much as you can
Kill as many as you can,
Dupe any people you can
Deceive as numerous as you can,
Use the multitude available
Betray the crowd you can.
Fool the fools very well
Confuse the ignorant deeper,
Cheat the nations you can
Divide and rule as well,
Cook wisely for the wise
Loot whatever you can.
Crush any opposition
Invade the country
Infiltrate the people
Corrupt the stainless,
Evade anything tax
Turn all things upside down.
Remain always lawless
Be the coupist/saboteur
Frustrate those you dislike
Subject them to hardship,
Incite and instigate
Impose power on yourself.
Castigate whoever you hate
Bring unrest and restiveness,
Enrich your cabal
Sell out your mannest man
Get it or let heaven loose,
Behead even your parents.
LORD SPARE ME THE PHOBIA OF POLITICS
Shame On You Men!

Who lie in wait to tear.
Shame on you men,
Who dent the altar.

Shame on you vampires,
Who slay the eagle.
Shame on you vipers,
Who merry for loss.
Shame on you adders,
Who bite the newborn.
Shame on you ghosts,
Who taunt, haunt, hunt and daunt the chosen.
Shame on you men,
Who quicken pain.
Shame on you men,
Who shatter womanhood.
Shame on you men,
Who borrow to capture.
Shame on you men,
Who delight in fakery.
Shame on you men,
Who boast for doing wrong.
Shame on you men,
Who rupture the unborn.
Shame on you men,
Who seal footpaths.
Shame on you men,
Who rejoice in downfall.
Shame on you men,
Who boost atrocities.
Shame on you men,
Who support betrayal.
That’s all you can offer
I hope your world doubles thy havoc.
Shame on you men,
Shame! Shame!! Shame!!!
Words On My Mirror
Love is a natural charm. It does not need any strange ring, powder, perfume and or the likes, to get, keep, retain and or maintain it.
If you ‘chain’ anyone to love, care, and or keep you, you are the fullest fool because, someday you would realize you have wasted your time, energy, money, body and any other available resources.
Black and White… Crystal difference….. Superiority complex…… Inferiority complex…… A tug-of-war.
Do not use people for them to be useless, instead ‘use’ them and make them USEFUL
If you call a ‘press conference’ because you are rich, that is enough evidence of your being poor.
I do not see the world ‘changing’….for those who dream of changing it, the world is already changed.
I have not been opportuned to meet with ‘myself’….i would have learnt more ‘from and of’ being unique.
In the ‘thick forest’ you can never be a king, you can only be an animal; wild and carnivorous too.
We are actors and wrestlers. We act and wrestle daily.
Make sure you are not overtaken by events, otherwise your story will either be untold or incompletely told.
WE ARE STRANGERS
