Little Judges

image


Appointed from on high, a million little judges

Against whom you will never find a defense

Self-appointed, excused, generic free-for-all

I once was lost in the pages of his war manual

Now I see why his suicide is at your very core

Maybe if my name were changed to Paul

Perhaps some bright lights to cushion the fall

It may ignite my speech though preferring the kill

A new name, if ever a personality were changed

But your jury is easily selected, hordes of the like

Singing praises to air, inciting none bu...

Desire

image


Delicate in its confusion, a split-heart’s conclusion


Believe this, no trinity is made of two


No daydream desire will ever pull me in


Your words to keep, if even from your one love


Was it not enough to stand next to the flame?


Must my hands be burned while I sit in shame?


This devil crossroad lurks in every season


Desire is a clever noose, but not ’round my neck


Wear your handiwork proud, I won’t cut in again


This high road is a precipice sliding underfoot


Falling rocks down below, same drill as ever


De...

Twitter Poet

To find depth in words like wet

Swept from the feet, a love song

A place where haiku barely fit

Flirt like sundown, but short

A den of lonely lust indeed

Possible to meet your need

Maybe even find the one

Though odds are in millions

Absurdly out of all favor

One forty gone in a flash

Hope she gets your game

Say soul mate again, man

One day is certain to come

When your tweet will sing

Song of a copy/paste lover

Emoticons hover,

Breathless

Screenshot_2015-01-11-11-08-20-1


If not for the energy I found here, I might fly


For every piece I am given fits in perfectly


A handful of grief in exchange for grace


But I’ve lost the way, my voice a whisper


If only I were a deep well of substance


I would give it all every day and more


You are reading a man who craves quiet


So I step as though to draw back inside


The light may shine as it wills for now


There is a place I must inhabit until


Until streams thaw, if it comes quick


I am breathless within this bitter war


Every word has becom...

To Reach ~ A Duet With The Migraine Chronicles

Screenshot_2015-01-08-15-42-35-1


I am still standing where you left me


Sun set on my face, settling in with the fog


Reminded I am alive by the ice-flecked air


Lonely for your warmth to reach into my night


I see you standing there in front of me


Your face, blurred, sullen and blank


Are you living to die or dying to live


I want to reach to you, but I am afraid


I know you must see me through the fear


Clasp your hands in mine to be a guide


Close your eyes, blind to the outside


My life may depend upon your own


Close my eyes, push away the li...

Music Theme – Only Time

Lisa picked our theme for this week. I pretty much covered ‘time’ last week, so I decided to present the one thing that we all should spend time on, love. I also chose from the 80’s.







And for Margot…



Be sure to spend some time loving someone this week, even if it’s yourself. Also, check out the other themers…


Bear �� Lisa �� Maddie �� Antanya

What Is Anarchadia?

1. What is Anarchadia, and where can it be found?


Anarchadia is a non-profit which originally started as just unspinning mainstream misinformation (tailored by well paid spin doctors working for government and corporate interests, not the general public’s), and was started originally just as a blog in Lyon, France, the birthplace of anarchist revolutions since Mikhail Bakunin. But since the censorship started affecting us heavily in 2011, we’ve had to adapt to the times, and become an undergro...

Anarchadia France – The Peace Revolution


facebook_-585679624


Anarchadia France is a branch of Anarchadia.com, and is part of a global network of anarchists working toward peaceful solutions to some of the worst problems facing all societies today. We all have our own brand of communicating this message, whether it be through exposing the lies that are frequently spun into mainstream, corporate media and the powers they serve, or by simply pointing out and teaching alternatives to capitalism, fascism and dismantling the idea that things are fine the way...
