I’m a Believer Re-Write (Human Rights) By DonJuan Writer
I thought rights were just the stuff of fairy tails, Meant for war torn souls but not for me, I was such a cynic, That’s the way it seems, Violations haunted all my dreams But the human race, Can be a believer, It has a place, I’ve no doubt in my mind, But it must…

Nothing Permanent Lasts Forever by DonJuan Writer
By all means have audacity, By all means show your wit, And if you’ve got the gumption, By all means handle it. By all means stroke your ego, By all means elevate, By all means duck and cover, When they come to legislate. If flights of sycophancy, Leave you under someone else’s charms, By all…

Dinner Table by DonJuan Writer
To see the world this poem implies, May I ask you to close your eyes? Now, imagine, as you are able, A rather large dinner table. And sitting at it is everyone you know, And everyone you used to know. Yes, it’s a very implausibly large table, But this is a mind fable… Everyone you…

Post-traumatic Nihilism by DonJuan Writer
Yeah, so I’ve worked out the pointless, purposeless, meaninglessness of nihilism And the implications of what pointless, purposeless, meaninglessness implies, It places any certain logic, thus consequences, in an arena of surrealism, On me, As yet, Still no flies.

Zombie Dream by DonJuan Writer
The zombie terror pursuing me, In the black sheen of my lucid dream, My fears of impending fatherhood, Raise the un-dead to strip me of any scheme. And the recurring nature of their chase, Whenever I closed my eyes, As real as the fears I had to face, They will devour any disguise. With each…

Peter Pierre by DonJuan Writer
Only a fool seeks wisdom for who on Earth else would need it? Similarly an unclean soul seeks purity, You’d be an unwise fool to feed it. Purity demands one must abstain, Whilst hinting that truth sets one free, That’s a “stop” and that’s a “go.” Blatant hypocrisy. The blueprints for progress are faded, Outdated,…

A Work Of Friction (a work of fiction) By Ade Sluzky
They told me incredible stories and I did not believe a word of them. I stared at them but gave the impression of someone listening, someone believing, but the inside of my mind wondered if these people were actually aware of how full of shit they really were or whether this level of self delusion…

Storm Before the Calm by Ade Sluzky
Between the radicals and the refugees Water running out and the rising seas The misinformation in the fog of war The unjust lessons from above the law Do those that hate me for where I stand Take a moment to understand? That fossils fuel impotent screams And bolster bastions to maintain regimes? Do they know…

The Final Strawman by Ade Sluzky
Zarathustra stepped out of Plato’s cave to face the music of the spheres of influence. He saw straw men building houses of cards. Paper tigers were prowling the silver lining around the clouds. Many hands were making light work whilst too many cooks spoiled the broth. It was going to be like shooting fish in…

More Tests by Ade Sluzky
”You need to lose some weight and we’re going to have to conduct some more tests.” The sensation of a stone, high-diving down into the pit of my stomach made me feel as pale as I felt I looked. I looked. I was that pale. In the waiting room, at the laboratory, I was underwhelmed…

Welcome to the Wilderness by Ade Sluzky
Welcome to the wildernessThere aren’t any rulesYour adaptations will be naiveAnd your wisdom the stuff of fools. You came in from the gardenWhere your nature was containedYou’ll necessarily hardenIn the chaos, unrestrained The people on the patioWith their wine and their cheese and their gleeAnd business as usual as usualWill always be blind to what…

Love Takes by Ade Sluzky
Love takes workBut despises effortLove takes trustBut breaks you in those placesThat your trust protected. Love hints at solutionsVia a prism of problemsIt puppeteers youInto believingYou’ve found yourselfUntil you find your selfLooking for your selfAgain And yet, againLove comes backAnd you ask,Where did you go?And it answersWhere did you go? I was here the whole…
