A day with no name

 

The only thing

that keeps surprising me

is that so many people

are -still- astounded

that 

the devil 

and his demons

that

they lie

they cheat

they hate

they rape

they murder

they torture

the kind

the innocent

the loving children

of any race

of any creed

of any colour

So

Go out 

and vote

Go out 

and fight

Go out 

against the evil 

and

side with the angels

The 57th March


Again a Rome's burning

skins charred black

of many a righteous

bullied by the legion


She wearily marched 

the fifty seven steps

up the capitol altar

of law enforcement


There the mother saw

a just brother bent

at the oppressive boot

of a state trooper


The blue legionnaire 

posing as a sheriff

held up his whip

trumpling* on his betters


The showcase Caesar

put down his thumb 

while flashing a grin

ordering thirty nine lashes


There the mother saw 

the scourge lashing out 

on those already burned

her scars bled fuzz blue


As the Republican mob

cheered and hailed

the lethiferous lashes

at the children of a King


Yet from far and above

the True and Ultimate

watched this great divide

on earth counter to heaven


The Eternal sighed

¡ Vote !

¡ March !

¡ Protest !

¡ Overcome !

¡ As on earth !

¡ As in heaven !

Yes, I know it is `trampling´ but given current times I think `trumpling´ is more fitting.

The Trump Twit That Tweets

 


To Q-Anon and other deplorables

This unprecedented unpresidential may scare his offspring

But even Melania mocks him

Not on skin, not on gender; the bedtime stories (White).


Very well children, 

I will read you a bedtime story.

And with that I picked up the book 

of colourless and genderless fairytales.


White. 

Everything is white. 

The picture on the wall, 

the room in his mind. 

Only his life 

seems to be black, 

white and grey.

Like a wounded animal 

they shut themselves, 

He him, 

out.


Lock out from what? 

Is there at all 

something 

worth 

to prevent being excluded.

He shouts 

at the empty 

whiteness.


White, 

He whispers to his love. 

Regretttably, 

he fears, 

she too can only think grey.


The lecherous greyness 

of the masses, 

o how he detests it, 

he calls 

silently 

at his gray love.

His naked love says: 

you're mad, my archangel, 

what do you mean by white?


Well, 

what does he mean 

by white. 

White, 

he wispers, 

white is white 

and 

white is as a blank page, 

virginal white for the eye 

but 

already tarnished 

or 

stained with grey. 

I'm looking 

for the true 

primordial white. 

The white 

that stands for 

innocense and liberty, 

where I can 

let the idle defenseless children 

of my imagination roam smoothly. 

White is not a colour, 

he concludes deeply.


Without any trouble 

or remorse 

he just shut out

his grey naked love. 

Black 

he is now, 

black 

to preserve 

the white. 

To prevent 

that the grey 

of his love 

affects 

his precious white.


White, 

they whisper 

smiling at each other. 

Her smile 

that of incomprehension 

but full of love 

that accepts his insanity. 

His smile 

that of betrayal 

and loneliness. 


Quietly they huddle 

against each other.

Just before 

his naked love 

falls asleep

he hears her 

breathe: 

tomorrow, tomorrow 

I will try 

to be white for you. 

And he realizes, 

in a wave of clarity 

through his own gray 

delusional world,

that his only love 

is already white.


And so 

my children

ends this fairytale.

maybe next time I will

read you a story on grey

and later or before on black.


For now 

I wish you 

a quiet night 

full of love

and of sleep.
