"It takes two to tango" - this is their excuse Yes. A victim and a perpetrator. You make your lofty promises - equality for all, do as you please If you get caught, spew hate in the face of Virtue. Subliminal images and sounds are crystal clear now Your follies, your perversions laid bare for… Continue reading Poetry: “Happy New Year – It’s the End of Your World”

Poetry: “Choosing Sides”
I awoke one day to find a cryptic lie had seized my mind. I awoke one day to see illusions claiming I was free. I awoke one day to feel the seven deadly, putrid seals. I awoke one day to think how near my soul came to the brink. I awoke one day to do… Continue reading Poetry: “Choosing Sides”

Excerpt (Poetry) : “There Is a Sweet Hereafter”
