Dissociation is killing us

Anti-depressants are killing us

Lobbyist are killing us

The E.U is killing

Fear of gathering data is killing us

Disloyalty is killing us

Cheap talk is killing us

Cowardice is killing us

Too many cowards in bunny suits

Oh my oh my

How much longer will we embrace the contemptible?

How much longer before we stop making excuses for it?

How much longer will we sugar coat the evil that stares us in the face?

If we don’t condemn the condemnable

We shall become the contemptible

And our children will contempt us for tuning a blind eye

We are raping their future

Their world

With a lie

Too many cowards in bunny suits

There’s no excuse good enough for this cowardice

There’s no excuse good enough for this cultural suicide

There’s no excuse good enough for this appeasement

There’s no excuse good enough to for this crippling fear

Violent confrontation is coming

Oh boy it’s near

The mind is the gateway to heaven or hell

Some fight for the first

While most lazily lean backwards for the latter

And the days roll by but the tune doesn’t change

We’ve travelled beyond the pale

Fragile freedom is a virtue

Watch it fade away

Nike “Real Hero” Exhibition

The word hero is a badge of honour. To be heroic can be an act or a state of mind. It can be attributed to people or it can be an ideology. It sometimes courts controversy and can both divide and unite opinions. For this exhibition Nike challenged their European designers and a wide range of creative visionaries to explore the notion of what makes a hero.

On Thursday 22nd August the best artistic interpretations will be presented at the Machinegebouw gallery in Amsterdam’s Westergasfabriek complex. Diverse submissions from the likes of Wim Crouwel, Hort, Ilovedust, Laser 3.14, Tyrone Lebon, Golden, James Joyce, and Ruud Baan will be showcased alongside pieces from Nike and Converse designers. All of the art is available for purchase on the night and 100% of the proceeds will be donated to War Child.

THE LAST DAYS OF A DAMNED EMPIRE

Glory is gone

Guts lie dead in the gutter

Morality strangled and choked

Everything a gaff

Liberty a farce

Fearing reality as it comes crashing in

Reality?

Almost forgot about its existence

A theatre

The play is getting worse by the minute

Loneliness and the fear of seclusion define the autumn of our lives

Smiles appear only sardonically

Time moves on

only to hurt us

Fools laughing at the foolish jokes of fools

Nothing to jack-off to in this meagre existence

Can’t even get off tripping on oneself

Then the hard rain comes

And it keeps on raining
and raining
and raining

Inside

THE VESSEL OF OUR EXISTENCE

All the particles make up us

We exist in the realm of our existence

Silence can be the most beautiful string of words

If I drag my body over the floor of deception

Will you kiss my soul?

Wonderful escalation

Sky bars in Manhattan

Here to settle the score

And hope the gain some perception

My dear lady Oxymoron

Null and void

We are on the task to realise our dreams

Q

The forest expands around me

And I feel clean

I’m taking the trash out

I believe

A bit of faith

Hope and desire

Over the brim

Avoiding the mire

Dear sweet butterfly

Not part of our rat race

A hornet skims right pass me

A close shave

I am stung

by the beauty of these surroundings

Its potion rids me of life’s pain

A warm blanket of solace

Falls over me

Exploding blight untamed

I don’t want to head home

I don’t want to head home

I plead to forever remain

BETTER

I wish I were better

Better at opening up

At letting it in

Better at loving

Better at giving

Better at breaking the chains

That bar me off

Better at making

that which is hard

soft

Better crossing the bleak clearing

Better at steering

But most of all

I wish I were a better man

Than I am

THE TURBID POOL

Any old iron

Any old iron

You can hear them coming

Machine men

With machine plans

Any old iron

Any old iron

Infinite growth

And throttle contracts

Blocking out the sun

Breaking reason’s back

Any old iron

Any old iron

Watch the results

Let go of those pipe dreams

My friend

It’s cabal that never ends

TRACES OF A LIFE LEFT BEHIND

Every movie needs a story

Coherent or otherwise

Every encounter something to remember

Every October a September

Everything I want

Stands on stilettos heels in the snow

Eyes glance right past me

And I’m lifted up

Waves of the past rise as the wind blows

Fragments of reality tatter the fantasy

Up here in coherent sky

Angelic voices stem from mood indigo

Down there we see a woman cry

As she slips in and out nowhere

She is passable

yet time left traces on her face

Down there

a barber dreams of a hairless world

So he can get away from it all

Everything feels palpable

Down there

a poet strikes a chord

Yet remains unheard

Disappointment, fury and fire

Theatre of the absurd

Down there

a painter rubs his brush over the canvas

Realising his fatal mistake

A fall from grace

When life is cordoned off with metal bars

When the glass is half full

to remain half empty all the time

all you can do is swallow your spit

and sardonically smile

New street pics

THE BEST FAREWELL

I can still see it

How it started

Me joyous

Jovial

Smiling dialling in on you

You

Blossoming

Smiling

Elated

In rapture

Beneath a willow tree

You dialling in on me

We entangled

Killing, killing time

Radiant

In heaven

Absent all traces of hell

And at first light

It was the best farewell

EMERALD CITY BLUES

The cold wind breezes and I’m still me

I remember something

Hoping that something remembers me

My head is full

But my heart feels shrunken

Romance feels mush

The garden sunken

You are nothing without a heart

The absence of love can tear a man apart

An image of you

Porcelain skin

Eyes of blue

Unrequited

Yet so pure

I walk on

In demure

AS I AM I AM STATIC

As I am I am static

Background noise

With white noise somewhere in between

A binary wallflower

A code looking to be cracked

A soul yearning to be hacked

As I am I am axiomatic

With my binary coat I travel lightly

I drive along a waysideless highway

Smiling sardonically

While my soul’s expanding
