THE SWALLOWS BEAK
YOU WHISPER WORDS OF WOE TO FOES WHO USE YOUR PAIN IN BARGAIN,
AS KNOWLEDGE GAINED BY THOSE PROFANED IS BARTERED OUTSIDE MARGINS,
WHERE REPTILES MEET TO BLAB AND BLEAT AND SHARE THEIR DEFAMATIONS,
TO SPREAD THE WORD, OF THE UNHEARD, THROUGH RIVERS, TOWNS AND NATIONS.
I DARE NOT SPEAK AND SILENCE KEEP, I KEEP MY SECRETS SECRET.
THE SWALLOWS BEAK HAS GROWN SO WEAK ITS TWEETS DONT CREEP FROM...

Beelzebub's Burrow
Beelzebub himself did say
“I made this burrow for my play
I welcome those who have no fear
I command your wishes when you’re here”
Love and virtue have no place
Only vice can make its case
When judges, policemen, priests and thieves
Sit side by side touching knees
And laughing loud at evil jokes
That must be told but never wrote
They sip from glass guilt with gold
That...

No One Lied Lyrics
I’m so happy, think I could cry Then the moment is lost to the sky In the silence something is heard Brings us back down crashing to earth Heaven is a place No one lied It’s rushing through your veins Flooding your eyes She’s so worried the end is in sight She could stay there for the rest her life A peculiar pain within her arose As the perfect frame couldn’t be froze...

Jacques Rousseau, Discourse on Inequality, 1754
The first man who, having fenced in a piece of land, said “This is mine,” and found people naïve enough to believe him, that man was the true founder of civil society. From how many crimes, wars, and murders, from how many horrors and misfortunes might not any one have saved mankind, by pulling up the stakes, or filling up the ditch, and crying to his fellows: Beware of listening...
There's A Certain Slant Of Light By Emily...
There’s a certain Slant of light, Winter Afternoons – That oppresses, like the Heft Of Cathedral Tunes – Heavenly Hurt, it gives us – We can find no scar, But internal difference, Where the Meanings, are – None may teach it – Any – ‘Tis the Seal Despair – An imperial affliction Sent us of the Air – When it comes, the Landscape listens – Shadows – hold their breath – ...

New Words #1
You know, you know that I told you the truth
No lies, no need to dispose of the proof
I wish, I wish I had secrets to keep
I shout, I shouted them out in my sleep
Grace maybe gone but passion survives
This Brave New World is desperate to hide
‘The Nature Of Things’ keep me up every night
I’m trying to run with my laces untied
The signs, the signs are pointing both...
Rumi
If you want what visible reality can give,
you’re an employee.
If you want the unseen world,
you’re not living your truth
Both wishes are foolish,
but you’ll be forgiven for forgetting
that what you really want is
love’s confusing joy.

Get Drunk by Charles Baudelaire
Get Drunk
Always be drunk.
That’s it!
The great imperative!
In order not to feel
Time’s horrid fardel
bruise your shoulders,
grinding you into the earth,
Get drunk and stay that way.
On what?
On wine, poetry, virtue, whatever.
But get drunk.
And if you sometimes happen to wake up
on the porches of a palace,
in the green grass of a ditch,
in the dismal loneliness of your...
MDMA
An article from The Guardian:
Doctors are planning the first clinical trial of ecstasy in the UK, to see whether the clubbers’ drug can be beneficial in helping the traumatised survivors of child abuse, rape and war.
Ecstasy and some other illegal drugs, such as LSD and psilocybin (magic mushrooms), are potentially useful in treating people with serious psychological disturbance who...
