That Tyrant Lizard King đꦖ

The Tyrannosaurus Rex
of all fearsomeness
that tyrant lizard king
turned out to be
nothing but a mouse
Had no one else noticed
that parking ticket
on the windscreen
of a hearse driving past?
Had it been waiting for me
having a soul illegally parked
and so obviously unroadworthy?
An infringement notice
with the lot
along with all the evidence
had disappeared without a trace

The Placebo Diaries (8)

the delights of shallowness
the dangers of depth
the bottom of every day
is cruel
voyages of love
overhead
(+) whispers float and secrets sink

~ Multiple Michael

In a time before time

high I was taken

to the summit

of a holy mountain

and watched as the future

marched past in procession

The whole of creation

high on celestial power

singing in celebration

Glory sparkled in the air

vibrating with divine passion

In the midnight hour

I now pray to heaven

that one fine day

… it will finally happen

The Elvis of God

… and Glam Rock Saviour

of a child playing

with wildfire rebellion

as the croupier of sin

deals him in

to a game even the dead

can never win

Body and spirit

within the echo of a scream

caught in the tangled web

of a deceptive dream

swiftly twisting

the taste of sweet venom

from the acrid smoke rising

over a wasteland

of wandering souls

where a toxic river flows

into a boiling ocean

The Mahatma

Blessed are the peacemakers …

“When I despair, I remember that
all through history the way of truth
and love have always won. There
have been tyrants and murderers,
and for a time, they can seem
invincible, but in the end, they
always fall. Think of it … always.”

~ Mahatma Gandhi

Evil Conspires

Evil conspires
That’s what evil
does the best
mixing a little piece
of veritas
with a whole lotta lies
It was a conspiracy
that put Jesus Christ
to death
up on the cross
A religious plot
that was then
blown apart
and thrown back
in the Devil’s face
Patience is a virtue
as Evil will continue
to scheme and conspire
often with a dangerous mix
of religion and power
but inevitably
all conspiracies backfire
Eventually the devious
will pay a heavy price
for misleading the gullible
Like an election
in a two horse race
providing the illusion
of you having a choice
only to herald in
a rising tide of trouble
