#bullyboys — Public Fediverse posts

the pandering jaws
of our lords and masters flap
in this storm of lies

but globally
the temperature is rising
anger flies
in the face
of gauntlets thrown

all protest flags denied

though insufficient body bags
in smaller sizes

= Heute, die Welt =

you've felt the global flood
you've seen hot fireballs rain
over cities of the fallen
you've heard the father urged
to sacrifice his son

those artful stories call
to the lonely star, to follow
on a road forever clear:
today and all tomorrows
as the only special one

heute die Welt
morgen das Sonnensystem

one rich and vainglorious
uncle

and the colour of skin

the act of turning quiet homes
into broken stone and flame
in search of

the farmer rolling armour
over stolen lands
dead scrolls clutched so tightly
in his cold right hand

under whose burning bush
has it been written
a child for a child
times ten

our world-acclaimed umbrellas
shield all from northern rains

but during sudden eastern storms
they fold
to shattered spineless things
abandoned
beside broken tilting roads

where shameless billboards blame the weak
for drowning

my neighbour's cat
arrogant and fat
every day
craps on another border
tears up a quiet piece of lawn

perhaps tomorrow
i will vault the hedge
set fire to a garden shed
throw a brick
through every mirrored window

here's the trick
i won't accept the fault
if their house burns to the ground
it wasn't me who overfed the cat
with shameless privilege

a lambent #dusk
when Sun, disgusted
conceals his rage

behind a cloud
a swelling blossom
after silver rain

and night is kept at bay
by crowded cities
shining

as they fall
to flashing shards of glass
and rising dust

is this how to make your point
with knives upon the throats
of children
as though innocents
reduced to balances of blood
suffice
to replace justice

no matter what you read
this cannot be the way

the rain
it raineth on the poor
and also on the chosen people

but mostly on the poor
because
the chosen build the tallest steeples

to pray directly in God's ear
so His wrath falls
on busy hospitals

dusk falls with rain
and autumn leaves
gently
then guided bombs
and everywhere the silence
of the loving

to find his daughter's

dearest friends! with my left hand
I send shields to guard your broken
battered lands from silver rain
but with my right ah yes
the trusted righteous fist
I send mighty swords and prayers
for swiftly borne destruction

thus the balance is maintained
though heaven gathers at my shoulder
frowning
at tomorrow's harvest

on tired old lands, under red skies
two old rams, for rutting honours
batter their soft and curly brains
upon a holy stone
each cries
foul
and falls upon the others'
horns of gross indifference, swept
along by genetic storms, for
pointless recapitulation

two teams by a tideless shore
line up to bat an ancient ball
of hurt across a net of shame
both remain quite sure the other
is to blame for each child broken
on their jack boot certainties

while competing referees debate
in shades of grey

new rules for this old and bloody game

the broken counted bodies
line up on our streaming shore
as though a pouting god keeps score
of man's atrocities

and somehow grants indulgences
upon demand
