Nujabes & MINMI – Who’s Theme

I’ve been a sad clown drowning with empathy,
watching myself sink as I claw towards brothers a millions miles away,
wanton for their embrace…

seeking support,
seeking a buoy in the wilds of the Deep Ocean,
to hold close to me as I catch breath…

knowing in my femurs,
that to return to the shallows,
is an acceptance of defeat and…
the same tired duplicity,
of the corporate five faced cunt charmers,
the fats of the land…

I refuse to let my sense of honesty and openness,
drown whilst aside the human vermin,
so I must seek out and nourish my soul upon shores of vitality.

find hope for the wind which will catch,
in the sails of sheets attached to my raft,
tied together with true love,
twigs of fine sentiment…

The Perceptionists – Love Letters

B. Dolan – Film the Police

Deep Puddle Dynamics – The Candle

“CLARENCE CLEMONS” – Metermaids

“ADVICE I KNOW YOU WON’T FOLLOW” – Metermaids

I tell the people that I love that I love them,
I make those I hate know I hate them,
and despite the scars,
the open wounds,
the understanding that I am…different,
I still, with a smile, find myself dangerously receptive to a mere hint of True Romance…

MF Grimm – Agony

LOWKEY – TERRORIST?

I collided with an aussie chap a few days back…he made tentative mockery of ‘those arabs killing each other in the middle east’. I asked him which arabs? For the middle east is not just Arabs and Jews and those cunt Zionists. he didn’t understand and so I asked him to be more specific….so he chose Afghanistan…prompting me to grow rageful and assert that…
“you are choosing a country which WE, as in the international community, as in the US owners and minders and their vassal states, invaded…and why did we invade?…when the Taliban, repeatedly told us…’show us ANY PROOF AND WE HAND OVER BIN LADEN’…and yet our Commander in Chief said “NO FUCK NO. WE DONT NEED TO SHOW PROOF FOR WE ARE RIGHT RIGHT RIGHT”. God told him he was Right.Which fucking God>>???

I went on to suggest the same routine, scripted long ago happened thereafter in Syria, Libya, Iraq and more recently in Yemen and Ukraine.

He stuck his middle finger up towards my snout and told me I was fucking weird…and maybe I am. Weird…

And I find it a mark of pride to been seen as weird, as a freak, in comparison to those perhaps well meaning, brain dead morons, who marry who Friends tell them to marry, who believe what proven Liars tell them, who find some mong semblance of comfort in being told how to live, who to like, what to want, how to be…but the fucking media, orchestrated by pigfucking liars, as they continue to pay taxes towards the funding of ISIS and militant groups in EVERY COUNTRY WHICH REFUSES TO COWER TO Obama and his owner’s IMPERLIASM.

This not mel gibson conspiracy theory. This the stance of a True Romantic, absent of true romance, so focused on doing Right by by my own tribe…
