SERFS (rise) UP
the house built on the rock
does not collapse in the storm
yet those stones will drown you
in the flood if you are tied to it.
the prince-maker lay the cards
on the table in black & white
as squares on a chess board
the art of war was forewarned.

Louder Than Bombs
[ LIBERATED FROM CAMPS ]
born on foreign shore
falling beyond the crest of the equatorial horizon
to family washed up in a shipwrecked fleet
while fleeing the camps and tattoo stamps of war.
displaced and placed on a privileged pedestal
i pick and pluck the petals inside my mind
while the compass needle spins in distress
searching for direction and equilibrium.

The Starving Artist
Raised on a diet of bible verses,
beatings and curses -
he grew like a rose from the concrete;
feeding on prose, poems and paintings
on pages
of disheveled dogeared diaries.
His days spent playing ball
in hopeless broken glass

after the breaking dawn of timeless days
falling dusk saw the owl of Minerva
spread Athenas wings in apricot shades
as the grey veil of yesterday

of a promise to reinstall the words lost
to safety proof
false parachutes.
Without canvas-sized,
indestructible evidence
or ink-based remembrance -
only erasable by flames,

Breeds for the rifle…

Special Needs of the Entitled
Orange jackets dressed in disguise
as multicolored coats
in the town of naked emperors
on their knees
at the foot of a hollow throne.
Fifteen minutes of spotlight
is sold at crossroads
for souls
trapped under mouse mind control
damaged and caged
in happy-ever-after city.
