Oppression's Tale
The signs of the times
reveal truths
the streets teaming with protestors
resonate with veracity
They speak against
oppression
a forced exchange
where 'nothing' is proffered
as more
the power is in the peoples
with universal principles of honour
they stand.
In every nation.
Veracity seas with the tides of time.
With rhythms rhyme
we river in all times
the freedom chimes
With rhythms rhyme
and the freedom chimes
We flow through all
time's tides
and tide's times
In nature's beauty
the truest treasure
nature's measure
tides truth
oer' all eras
​
In rivers blind
she tows the lines
she holds the line
in river's time
the freedom chimes
in rhythm's rhymes
tides of time
ring true
boundless
I've gazed into the eyes
of the beholden 'beholder'
where 'nothing' is proffered
as more
that which is seen
cannot be unseen
the trivialized notion
of my convictions
thus apparent
​
a fool's quest
for unrelenting wisdom
​
the eye of man so limited
this age of innocence
has passed beyond
my reckoning
id and ego
fused in
matter and anti-matter
Jung and Freud's
futility
joined in the black hole of time
​
a forced exchange into oblivion
where 'nothing' is proffered
as more
just another punchline in the cosmos
centuries of silenced rage
have been reduced to milliseconds
a stuttered shot
from when they came
from where they come
I know not
​
their forced exchange
proffers 'nothing' as more
blinks significant
as insignificant
signals inverted, reversed sinology
orders in reversed order
to increase attitude's amplitude
manufactured reactions
a forced exchange
where 'nothing' is proffered
as more
​
expressions
reflected
in 'blanc' demeanor​
​
total oppression
less than zero
a forced exchange
where 'nothing' is proffered
as more
​
a denial of vive'
a death penalty
they falsely accused
and convicted
keepers' of innocence
​
robes of judgment
'costumes' as justice
their ordinances kill wonder
and grace
​
their grave judgment
a forced exchange
they proffered nothing
as 'more'
deigned to all existence
even as they pillaged,
raped, and plundered
those they had deemed
obsolete
​
a forced exchange
where 'nothing' is proffered
as more
​
those who
denied justice
desecrated land
desecrated life
desecrated the dead
​
a forced exchange
where nothing is proffered
as more
​
engraved the living
with their initials
asserted ownership
branded entitlement
to trade and enslave
with vitriol and in
contempt
they condemned
​
a forced exchange
where 'nothing' is proffered
as more
​
the spark of creation
denied of 'basic' rights
their modus operandi
a deliberate corrosion of
forward motion
halted
not a brief
caesura
a kill-shot
of sight and sound
denying my existence
​
a forced exchange
where 'nothing' is proffered
as more
​
forced oppression
suppression
is a denial of existence
a denial of rights in vive'
a denial of instinctual rights
denies one's right to survival
hence
a forced extinction
en mass
is mass
genocide
