MADNESS

Far beyond the frontiers of sanity
Lies hectares of untamed mindlands
Where chaos and order coexist
A halo unlit by normal thought lines
The mad zone
Birth place of all Madness
A field ablaze with fires of fantasy
Kept alight by fuels of ecstasy
Humans who cross the threshold
To these lunatic wonderlands
Unlocks the door in two ways
By chance when the mental fuse blows
Or through the divine portal
That brings forth ideas immortal
Both history and science
Principle pillars of human conscience
Proves beyond the gates of doubt
That bounties of brilliance
-Sometimes hammered on anvils of evil-
Can spark and glow
From these mental dark holes
And like molten magma
Explode into cataclysmic creations
That shakes the world
Shattering long held dogmas
And scattering powers and dominions
In these mystic mental dungeons
The Holocaust was hatched
The immortality of Mona Lisa designed
And the Rwandan massacre mapped
Standard theory of the madness
That claims man is born mad
And most of his actions inspired
By intentions to gain fame
And stoke the economic flames
Emanates from one insidious fact;
The mad zone is aglow in all souls
The only difference being the intensity
There is mild madness which creates
And acute madness which decimates
Or if portrayed in polarity
Positive madness breeds posterity
And negative madness bleeds brutality
This triggers the question;
How many acres of these lunatic lands
Pollutes the minds of terror titans
Like Taylor, Bin Laden and Mussolini
And men of gargantuan visions
Like Einstein, Drucker and Lamborghini
The ravenous floods of revelers
That jams and clogs fun houses
Emitting heat and sweat like swines
As bodies gyrate to boisterous beats
Propelled by unholy water and the devil’s sacraments
Are all in a quest to explore the Zone
And savor its fantasy fields and hypnotic hills

LUST REFINED

Human bonds
Are held fast by four fluids;
Blood. Semen. Tears. Booze
But emotional fragility
Social instability
And the quest for tranquility
-Which from mankind oozes
Like decaying juices
From a dead hog’s bruises-
Leads to hallucinations
And imaginations
That germinates the Great Illusion
The Big Lie;
“Ungenetic Love”
That a bond can be born
Between those of different seed
And be as tight and soul-binding
As those baked from one womb?
Total Utopist bullcrap!
The cohesion between spouses
And the “emotionally” conjoined
Is just a bout of lust that lasts
Expressed in portions of patience
And pretentious politeness
Mankind is by nature a social beast
Remote controlled by instincts
And constantly assailed by urgent urges
Sometimes brought forth by semen surges
And sometimes by other external charges
That pushes him to seek a “soulmate”
But to conceal these hedonistic needs
And their vicious dimensions of greed
Reality is masked in bright robes
And like a tot’s quinine
Under a coating of thick sugar orbs
To make it easy to swallow and benign
Lust is pampered and flowered in lovelies
To sustain and maintain the network of lies
And hide the underlying crude animalistic cravings
To quench the emotional, physical, social and economic thirst
Hence the only true and timeless tie
Whose endurance is final and eternal
Is the one joined by the red juice of life
Sowed from the fusion of seeds maternal and paternal
The reason for this beef
Lies in a simple brief;
While semen glands can run dry
Tear bags drain to the last of their salty drop
And booze tanks clank empty if there are no hops
As long as the heart pumps
Rich, genuine, genetic love flows
And through the thickness of blood it glows
Making links joined by all other fluids
No more than Lust Refined

WALLS

The realm of human existence
-Mind. Body. Soul-
Is defined by walls
From the geneses of creation
-or for Gnostics evolution-
When matter emerged from confusion
To the sands of modern times
History is written on walls
-From the ancient Wailing Wall
Through the amazing Great Wall
To the dollar empires in Wall Street-
Some walls are landmarks of adversity
And insult to human dignity
Like the broken Berlin Wall
Korean border walls
The West Bank Separation Wall
Baghdad neighborhood walls
-erected to set apart sectarian foes-
And Apartheid racial path walls
But others like the Sistine Walls
African painted cave walls
And the leaning walls of Pisa
Are milestones in human creative craft
Michelangelo, Da Vinci and Picasso
All relied on walls to display their art
And frame timeless frescos
When doom was declared upon the binging Belshazzar
And his gang of gluttons
It was done in writing on the wall
The sumptuous scenes and ‘sins’ in bedrooms
Secrets in boardrooms
And the gross in bathrooms
Are concealed under lock and four walls
In football
-watched by many on silver screen walls-
Winning depends on defensive walls
To block goal bound balls
Facebook walls
Are popular social platforms
Learning in public schools is done on blackboards
That are painted or plastered on walls
The ingenuity of graffiti
Is expressed in spray on public walls
Firewalls
Shield corporates against online cannibals
The Divine Wall
Curtains this life from the mysterious hereafter
Spenders line to load their wallets
From money minting machines mounted on walls
The vagaries of darkness
And the beauty of daylight
Are separated by the time defining wall of shifting shadow
Graves and tombs
Are eternal prisons six feet under four walls
The authority of kings
Is safeguarded by a wall of bodyguards
And enforced from high-walled palatial strongholds
Borders of nations
Are political walls partitioning populations
The splendour of cities
Is painted on concrete and glass walls
Men of high morals
Are portrayed as ‘a city of walls’
Anatomy of organisms
Is structured by cells held fast by membrane walls
The human birth suit
Is concealed in layers of garment walls
The human heart
-chambered by walls into ventricles-
Is the chief architect of divisive walls
That separates souls and instigates wars
Hence humanity should forever stand on a wall of will
United in demolishing all dividing walls
