Hide your beliefs

Take you religious beliefs and go home
We don't want them anywhere around here
Don't tell us about the rights you hold dear
You should just remain silent and unknown
Don't whinge,. After all this path was your choice
To spread a message of love corrupted
But in truth the order you've disrupted
So keep it private along with your voice
To influence children's minds you've no right
Especially your practices sexual
You should be ashamed: You're the biggest fool
Hurry up. Disappear into the night

So would you please hide your reglious ways
You're obscuring the freedoms of the gays

Rope Ladder

You want someone to love? I don't think so
Wanting some touch doesn't mean you'll succeed
Accept you'll be alone: That's what you need
For this quest will fail from the word go

You want to be part of a unique bond?
Sorry that's reserved for the lucky few
Everyone deserves some love just not you
It's a fate you can't escape or respond

You've got some love that's overdue to bloom?
The hell you do: You're just messed in the head
We don't want you here. You fill us with dread
You should be shamed for leaving your bedroom

Unless of course you happen to be gay
In which case I'll back your quest all the way

Social Justice Warrior

When the war is over what will you do?
When there are no more targets left to hide?
Will your thirst for a fight be satisfied?
Will you accept your soldiers leaving you?
Will you come up with a victory plan?
Will you stop thinking who can take the blame?
Will you be relieved that you can’t complain?
Will you live a life devoid of a clan?
Will you have the means for beating boredom?
Will you have a scheme for being happy?
Will you go forge a new identity?
Will you refrain from making a problem?

Of course not: The anger will never cease
For what’s a warrior in times of peace?

Human

I’ve been useless, a monster, a crim too

But not today: I won’t be some sad wreck

For the first time I grasp some self-respect

I know that this is something I can do

Driven by a strength that came from nowhere

I will shatter the walls that surround me

I’ll be the storm that makes the demons flee

I will no longer cave into despair

I will embrace myself because I can

I will rise above years of depression

I will move far away from regression

I’ll stand up and declare I’m worth a damn

But wait: You heard? No one likes straight white men

In that case, what was the fucking point then?


26th May 2019

Now that you're in love

So you’re in a relationship. Well done
Through being yourself you’ve scored a love true
You faced the challenge. Beat the odds. You’ve won

 So then: Now what you are going to do?
Will you embrace this truth you’ve found, so clear?
Will you be reborn into something new?

Will you both walk, hand in hand, without fear?
Will you both be yourselves without disguise?
Will you talk up the luck that brought you here?

Will you tell everyone about the highs?
The excitement of a heart in backflips?
Will you face a score of envious eyes?

Will you support other relationships
Straight. Gay. Anyone devoid of trouble?
Will you get to decide who can touch lips?

Will you take your love into a bubble?
And leave everyone else outside, forbid?
Will you revel in being free from struggle?

Will you, to get here, forget what you did?
The pains of loneliness; will you sever?
Keep the secrets to your success well hid?

Will you declare that this love's forever?
Never give single life a backwards glance?
Maintain that you have your shit together?

Will you mock those who struggle in romance?
Who have confidence, social skills lacking?
Like all those times you were denied a chance?

Do your single friends now seem amusing?
What will you do when they ask for advice?
Does being condescending sound tempting?

Will you tell them that they’ll find someone nice?
Will you forget the times when you couldn’t?
Will you find any bullshit will suffice?

Embrace these cruelties? You know you shouldn’t
But of course you will. Because who wouldn’t?

How to win an argument

Want to know how to win an argument?
Just convince the other guy of your view
Oh and be ready to take on facts new
Forget attacking: It won't make a dent

Listen: Don't interrupt the other guy
You need to follow standards much higher
Don't mislead. Scrap that winning desire
You're there to understand. Not to reply

You must invite your foe onto your side
And you must forgive their past transgression
Ditch humiliation and aggression
For in the end you've got nothing to hide

So then: Now that these truths have come to light
I ask you: Do you still want to be right?

Revolution

So, you want to start a revolution?
Do you want to stand up and have your say?
Want to give answers but no solution?

You want a change to come without delay?
Does explaining make you feel like a tool?
You want conversations that go one way?

Want to challenge the incompetent’s rule?
Think the masses are under the wrong crown?
Does guilt and social pressure sound useful?

Tired of being greeted with a frown?
You want to back those fighting the good fights?
Want to use any pretense to take down?

Want to declare who receives equal rights?
Want the bad guys take account for their sins?
Got revisionist history in sights?

Want bring down your tyrannical kings?
Drag them straight to the depths of the Nine Hells?
Want to decide who loses and who wins?

Want the timid to come out of their shells?
Tell them their voice matters and they’re a gem?
Sick of being happy for someone else?

You got a cause no one would dare condemn?
You, for said cause, prepared to travel far?
You want someone else to be the problem?

Will you face down every critic bizarre?
You have many comebacks primed and ready?
Want to decide who the outsiders are?

Do you have any plans post-victory?
Why give such a possibility thought?
For what’s a fighter with no enemy?

The Fine Art of Exclusion (Redux)

The power to exclude: The sweetest thing

An intoxication few can refuse

It divides the lies from which truth to use

Decides who will lose and who’ll be winning

The power to exclude: It writes the rules

Heaven help you if you’re on the wrong side

It welcomes the down-trodden with arms wide 

Promotes inclusion just not with the fools

The power to exclude: Puts me in charge 

Decides who will speak and who to ignore

Saves me from the scum. Make me something more

Makes me drown out anyone, small or large


The power to exclude. You know it’s true

And if you held it you’d do the same too



11th October 2018

The Fine Art of Exclusion

I will tell you how things work in this life

What needs to be said. What we need to do

I’m for inclusiveness when it’s not with you

And I bet this knowledge cuts like a knife

The crowd I lead is the one that’s correct

Heaven help you if you’re on the wrong side

I’ll welcome the down-trodden with arms wide

Disagree with me, if once, and you’re wrecked

I have time for them but you? I ignore

I don't care about what's holding you back

Your weakness is showing so I attack

You just keep on being you. Close the door

This is my truth and this is what I do

And admit it: you would do the same too

Untitled (II)

See the one face you have seen every day

Run errands because they won’t leave the house

Hear many stories ‘bout their ex, the louse

Have fights that end with them getting their way

Lending money, no return when it’s due

Being powerless when they throw a fit

Do things through being made to feel like shit

Demands to know where you go, what you do

Have friends concerned for you left on the shelves

Be forbid from seeing your family

Be told, yet again, that “You complete me”

Only staying so they don't hurt themselves

Face a truth too ingrained to break this curse

The truth that loneliness is so much worse

8th October 2018

Coercion

I could help you with your dud social skills

But I‘d rather laugh at your lack of sex

I could understand your feelings complex

But the frail make for such easy kills

I could understand all your social needs

But I’d rather shame you for being you

I could ask for cooperation true

But I’d just demand it. See where that leads

I could find your help to be effective

But I'd rather embrace suspicion strong

I could tell you how what you did was wrong

But I’d rather you remain defective

It’s coercion by ridicule of course

So much better than coercion by force

12th August 2018

Critical Thinking

I’m here to tell you of thinking critical

I can tell ignorance won’t work for you

Tear down the walls of fiction for what’s true

Open your mind, see analytical

It’s time to do away with tradition

Charlatans and frauds are to be exposed

Ask yourself what isn’t being disclosed

And listen to the voice of suspicion

Reason and logic: Your friends in attack

Let the words of proof and clarity grow

Do not heed the words of the status quo

After all, they’re only holding you back

So stand up: Challenge everything you see

Just as long as it doesn’t include me

Childhood Lost

These words are for that deplorable creep
Who shook my childhood right to the core
Who chased after me like a predator
Who inspired nightmares that made me weep

You made me terrified to hear your voice
You made me frightened of where shadows lurk
You told me to keep quiet - with a smirk
You took away from me my sense of choice

You still came even when I said never
This is for when I sat alone in tears
For the pain that still taints my adult years
And for my dreams left ruined forever

But now, all of those dreams will be remade
With the hefty cheque that the tabloids paid

God mightn’t love you but Science does

Science is your friend! It loves you so much!
It wants naught but only the best for you!
It don’t care about what you want to do
We’re just the puppets that dance to its touch
Your genes tell you how it’s going to be
They don’t care about what plans you have made
Don’t like the path that’s already been laid?
Well too bad: You’re stuck with it now buddy
You will also need a tribe to call home
You will hang around them and only them
Just don’t mingle – Everyone will condemn
Or you run the risk of being alone

But don’t complain: Science is a friend true
It wants naught but only the best for you

A private little Cold War

A war is being waged: one without rest
Many dollars are spent to get ahead
Seizing upon mistakes and dumb things said
Watching each move made with keen interest
Spreading dissent through spoken word and text
Make use of an arsenal of mind games
Dig dirt, eavesdrop, back stab. It’s all the same
One reason will do as well as the next
Actions are dissected to find meaning
Words are spread regardless of being true
Find allies in both camps to play for two
All for the victory they’ve been dreaming

But there’s one thing my opponent won’t see
My walk from the wall I built behind me


14th January 2013

Survival of the Fittest

I don’t want to hear of nights spent alone
I don’t want to hear of no men in sight
I don’t want trying to find Mr Right
I don’t want to be treated with a groan
I don’t want to be ground through some long test
I don’t want demands so impossible
I don’t want to be dismissed as a fool
I don’t want to be silenced with the rest
I don’t want the excuses aplenty
I don’t want say one thing, do different
I don’t want not saying that which is meant
I don’t want being told what you can’t see

So how’s it gonna be? I’ll tell you how
I want your loving and I want it now

Crush All Infidels

Co-existence is just impossible
Living side by side just simply won’t do
We don’t care about you. You’re just a tool
We are the superior racer. Not you
Everyone must march under our banner
Resistance is futile. Simple as that
We’ll listen to a submissive manner
Before we through you into a slave vat
We must find all threats to us by the tonne
If you are, you must be destroyed right now
If not, we must stop you becoming one
It is to our empire you must bow

It’s our universe and we’re kings of it
And we ask is for you to believe it

Take it Back

It’s true: everything’s going down the drain
We have leaders who’d rather lie and steal
And don’t care as to what the people feel
All hope has already begun to wane
We have been beaten and pushed around - True
When will this chaos stop? Well – let’s make it
Let’s stand up to the system and shake it
Enough is enough? Yeah I think so too
I want back everything taken from me:
My money, my home, my freedom of choice
My rights, my mind, my words, my heart, my voice
My pride, my feet, hands, and identity

Destiny calls: It’s happening at long last
And the time to run away is long past

Thou Shalt Not

Some say we follow a plan someone’s made
And to question such command is absurd
Some say their holy text must be obeyed.
Must be taken literally; every word
Some say they’re untouchable. That they’re right
And any challengers should be oppressed
But others say we do what our genes write
To protest such a command is useless
Others say holy texts should be ignored
Both the passages that do and don’t work
Other say they’re right. Reason is their lord
To disagree marks you dumb, blind, a jerk

But there’s only one question I can see
This is very good – But what about me?

The Fable of the Racist

Come gather ‘round children, it’s time you learned
About a man who promoted pure hate
Heed my words and this fable that I state
About a racist and the people he spurned
The man hated those different from he
He thrived on contempt and creating fear
Whilst his motivations were left unclear
Reasons didn’t matter as he could see
He got others into playing his game
He wanted all looking like him – the fool
Sharing this world was unacceptable
Black, Yellow, Brown, Red, They were all the same

He got kicked in the nuts – Enough to swell
But there was nothing to hurt – just as well!
