just following orders, hold the line they´re drawn in blood, hide behind shield eyes, badges covered, justice blind evictions violence; the only crime enough force, securing, choking out bent knees, bowed heads, remain calm reaction compels breathless shout of freedoms threat; police terror lose trust, coated weary clout propagandas perseverant psalm they won´t excuse your reasoned doubt paid for with bodies that paid for arms sit staring drenched indirections flux together memories unfold futures seem present in the past insurmountable woes a helpless plea becomes a rasp question ability to cope find a reality to grasp convolutions blinking hope stranded on the beaches of pollutions dead coastline, not celestial design what might have been obscured by indifference wasn´t seen, still hides in plain sight what might have been obscured by omission wasn´t said, knotted throats leak heavy sighs mandatory violence malevolent views mandatory silence powers abused trials we´re presented wars we all lose screaming for changes hierarchies removed drops in a river, swim disillusion tears in the rain, drown in seclusion waving a fan at a hurricane mapping the world, a journey escape where we freely reside, a nice place to share and to thrive

bound to machines bow to fluorescence rotating through cycles sweating the essence of effort lost empathy in narcissistic misery held heavy aloft vanity’s purchase for digital mirrors lacking a purpose a broader perspective, beyond reflections wind wails past the windows huffing stale air complain and perspire climb stairs to nowhere instruments measure success, a number deceptive close-by horizons forever depicted in distance struggle and strive but remain retain a stagnant disposition remain in a static position escaping, fleeing in fear cross invisible lines a reason just that is clear to protect lives flicker flame dripping cloth shatter impact spill full of combusting liquids makes more sense, a bigger difference than any vote not democracy but a crushing yoke corporate oligarchy blood and oil their alchemy to spill, to soak It’s the national xenophobia superiority delusion in the bigot lies of the media in a vote grabbing decision it's the ping -pong politics that punish humans seeking refuge exercising a right to asylum, refused in mental illness factories indefinite incarceration suicidal tendencies death sentence deportation a homeland without barriers country not owed by us plants, water, rock, and dirt did the first people here tell you that it was yours? did your god whisper in your ear your birth right privilege assured?

hearts that warm up feeling feelings to constant beats, aching warm up! liminality, we took flight nooses knot up! hang constricting laws, swing back and forth, higher knot up intangible spaced out minds we have come up drowning in contentment watching everything come up! inquisitive affection, here I find skies that light up! roasting bones, fresh river shores at dawn, faces light up experimental knowing smiles kinship built our structure bright colourful in light despite holes in walls, bound to fall still holding up well through this snowstorm alertness rings alarms state issued institutions harm kept one close eye on bright green signs a person not a data file we will stand on the roof again shattering filthy skylights concrete floors climb to new heights puzzling consideration a quiet moments’ revelation jagged pieces fit together picture enlightened endeavour leap over lakes sunken alley stone soles crush syringes brittle glass bones fresh painted fences reminders of home safely in danger never alone living in disgrace/this place/the scray

believe in the secret that has been told millions of times archived in bookshelves of those shallow desires and I sat down in silence, tried to visualise everything that is wanted to have in a life inevitable that it will come to me placing blind faith in self fulfilling idealist prophecy then nothing happened so I went outside I tried to wade and not get wet, turning my back to the tide I thought prosperity was fated, setting the struggle aside then nothing happened so I stood with friends likeminded aligned brightly patterned tourniquet wasting waiting for heaven sent here’s hoping predestined fortune is imminent conspired divinely to satiate time and currency evaporates condensating for prophets, line pockets of fakes starving forsaken left behind empty plates crowded late on a debt spire kneeling beneath the ceiling material possessions won´t quell that empty feeling realisation of inversion, crushed beneath the weight of abstract value yearning inspired to act, to aspire won’t wander lost in the aisles make difference, not indifferent find all the things we could try wanderlust beneath the sky
