GRAVELY SPOKEN
the gravity of these lies
as each lie is by the following
monstrously compounded
will drill a hole in the
fabric of
space time
a sewer for truth
where truth will be dragged be crushed
never to be seen again
until our
full self-destruction
IN PRAISE OF
SACRIFICE
people will
fight for truth
be nobly
martyred
but how much more
strongly, happily,
forcefully
fanatically
they will
fight for lies
the bigger the lie
the bigger the sacrifice
SURPRISE
here’s the surprise
in this morass
of words
.
lies are truth
truth
is lies
every meaning
you woke up with
were
certain of
has been
re-defined
and the symbol of
your salvation
bent,
twisted
into new configuration
BEEB
here we are
with our reporters
and cameras
swinging into Gaza
behind an armoured thrust
lucky
to have all this protection
help us
get
our story
one of our group
is fixated on asymmetry
though this is a word
we would not choose
to use
on the BBC
CHANNELING
a pretty derelict
unused space now
(like an
interstellar void)
but once
tge SkyVue drive in
used to cover
acres of territory
and the bush under the screen
where as kids
we played
cowboys
and savages
remember that screen
well it used
to fill half the night sky
saw Spartacus there, and
Cast a Giant Shadow
which wars, it seems,
never really died
Rome always lingering
Empires of Man versus
Empires of Heaven
but now
the whole planet
is our
screen
we have screens in our pockets
screens in our heads
inescapable
channeling
and there enough projection
to fill every known desert
desert of the real
Neo
truth having
dissolved, truth crucified
by fiction
truth’s fate to be enslaved
by the narrative of the day
and like
the poem says we
have all
become cyphers, organic
little molecules
in the dance of supreme fiction
the new reality to be
broadcast twenty-
four seven
dreamworld Neo, germane to
the Zhuangzi parable
cowboys, savages, think
like
a butterfly
the wild gift of technology
the premise to allow
without any
lingering sense of irony
to speak of self as supreme,
and, yes indeed, the world
.
DEAD DOG
Truth is a
dead dog
let it rot, let
it putrefact
let it smell
let
it stink
don’t let them bury it
hide or celebrate
the fact
it is dead
with their complicity
by their agency
don’t let them cover
it will concrete or
a brass plaque
build a mausoleum
a cenotaph
the mother
of all monuments
give speeches in its
praise, celebrate its
former life
for if truth is dead
there are no lies
no duplicity
no hypocrisy.
so
dead or not let
them not
bury truth
let it lie where they slew it
let it stink.
OF THE AGE lies live lies survive lies fly all over the place so much destruction in their wake their instinct being to replicate split like mutant cells divide and be careful how you yourself do define for here service to the lie loses the light goes completely blind for shadow has shown too easy it be to mistake the love of a death embrace become the thing we fear we hate the beautiful hypocrite of the age the lie in us so consummate
ULTIMATE ULTIMATION
here they are
you raw meat
paid for
attack dogs
here
at the tribunal
to lay down
the law
ram down
our throats
your ultimate ultimation
not for the truth
not for humanity
but for the lobby, desperate
for survival, desperate
for salvation
shame your
weapon of mass coercion
you should yourselves
be ashamed of
if you had
an ounce of subtlety
of integrity, a gram
FOR YOUR DISINFORMATION
for your disinformation
we have a crop of lies
harvested for consumption
which it would be
mortal sin
for you
not to believe
and as for our narrative
it is exalted in its horror
to challenge it would be
to disrespect our untruth
true to
the horror that
by law of the cosmos
must ultimately be
for your disinformation
this is it
exactly,
everything to
be
blind to
all we
in our souls
are commanded to see
