Master of None

Derision
written on my face.
Disgust
as I watch
as I listen
to you whine
to you plead
to you escape culpability
for the actions
that has destroyed so many.
Tear down reality.
Tear down truth
Tear down justice.
This shall be how you are remembered.
History will waste no time on you.
A mere footnote.
A buffoon.
Simpering
flirting
pursuing disaster.
Clown of the courts.
You do not see. 
You refuse….
unable to hear
the muted laughter
the scorned words
escaping sideways
from the lips of your confidants
focusing on illusions
focusing on the madness of your own mind.
Expect me to applaud?
You are nothing.
You are not the great hero
you have built
portrayed
believe yourself to be.
Little man
thought to be easily lead.
Turns out ‘they’ were wrong.
You are not easily lead.
You do not listen to reason
believing in your own invincibility.
Time is come
you will be done
cheers heard at your fall.
You are no Julius Caeser.
Nero you be
playing the fiddle 
while the world burns
at your feet.

Prayers Unheard

Tides ebb
tides neap
calling to the dead
calling to the living
messages left by deities
long gone
long vanquished
long aborted 
by the modern world. 
Do you hear them?
Or….
Are you blind
are you deaf
are you hiding behind the mundane
like everyone else?
Words
warped
twisted
made to feel
if not like the others
there is something wrong
there is something deformed
there is something awry……
It is not me
in reality it is you.
I would wager a guess
you have no idea…..
wilful ignorance
may seem best.
Head in the sand like the ostrich.
Only know…..
being obtuse
afraid to take a stand
lead to the last elimination
of gods
of rich men.
Devastation.
Lands Flooded.
Waterways dried up.
No longer can you look the other way.
Hell on Earth 
reality.
