Haillie Sellasse, Up Your Ass
You speak of Rastafari, but how can you justify belief In a god that’s left you behind? You’ve simply filled the gap between the upper and lower class And your faith merely keeps you in line. An amalgamation of jewish scripture and christian thought. What will that get you? Not a fuck of a lot. Take a look at your promised land. Your deed is that gun in your hand. Mt....

Ego Fum Papa (I Am The Pope)
“Live like an angel, die like a devil.” Don’t let it worry you, we’re down here together. We’re all here: heathens, heretics, kids with blue socks. I asked some questions and wasn’t satisfied with the answers. It seems that’s the biggest crime since not fitting in. But we’re all here: King Diamond, todd’s mom, fallen angels, the decimated...

The Bangers Embrace
The day The Equinox arrived our pilgrimage began: 1200 miles, a cruise missile to our unholy land. We were fucking stoked unlike we’d been since we were pimpled, pubeless teens. From every corner of the world our fellow maniacs arrived to prove the meaning of the tunes had not been lost through time’s antiquity, but had survived to leave this monumental sign. They say you can’t relive the...

Cut Into The Earth
Is this life? To stand here and wait. In this city forged of scraps. Is this life? To stand on the dead. On feces and sweat. Is this life? It’s starting again. Quick, gather your belongings and go. Run while it’s still dark. Out here you’re as good as dead. Leave the shots echoing behind. Don’t look back until you run out of land. When you think there’s a second that...

Tertium Non Datur
All the sucked thumbs and held skirts and blankets so secure that they block out the sweep of the floodlights that could free them from the darkness that surrounds them. From the demons that keep hounding them and gouge their eyes until all they can see are rigid dichotomies of the sacred and the profane. Of salvation or shame with fuck all in between. The human impulse to explain hijacked: ...

A Speculative Fiction
A new iron curtain drawn across the 49th parallel. Cut all diplomatic ties as we expel all American dignitaries, and issue a nation-wide travel advisory for any others left inside. Nowhere to run. Nowhere to hide. The burned out shells of south-bound traffic lay strewn across a cold stretch of would-be interstate. Still visible below their charred remains: Pax Americana plates. Your stupid fucking...

Rio De San Atlanta, Minitoba
Our cities seem to function quite the same: sweeping ghettos under one big rug makes them easier to contain, so the upper-middle class can sleep (or shop in peace) and convince themselves that “trickle-down” will solve this poverty. Yes, murderers walk our streets and their weapons are their pens, desks, policies and P.R. campaigns (fed by the spoils of war) against the...

Who Will Help Me Bake This Bread?
I speak my mind. I question theirs. It seems to me like no one really cares. Peripherally blind. Intellectually numb. Ignorance by choice? Or just plain fucking dumb? You’re threatened by my mind. You want everything the same. But my questions still remain. You boycott your brain. You answer with fists. But my questions still persist. You can rearrange my face but you can’t rearrange my...

This Is Your Life
You’re not really mad at Iran or Afghanistan, You’re mad at the fact that your wife can’t stand you anymore. You don’t know where she is. You’re going crazy in your basement hole, Clicking your remote control Spitting insults at the screen Cause tomorrow you’re back at work Where you can’t stand being the little man. Exploit your problems when you...

Stick The Fucking Flag Up Your Goddamn Ass, You...
My father told me “son, it’s futile to resist, You can topple ideology but not the armies they enlist.” I questioned the intentions of the boy scouts chanting war. “Well that’s the sound of freedom, son” he said. (Free to say no more.) But wait a minute dad, did you actually say freedom? Well, if you’re dumb enough to vote, You’re fuckin dumb...

Supporting Caste
When the credits finally roll for this, the worst story ever told, don’t bother sifting through the names for yours or anyone you know. Unless they were by chance a shepherd king, a virgin birth, a resurrection, a messianic prince or some such childish thing. You can storm the edit suite or move to block its theatrical release, but I think we can safely guarantee that there will be no...

Superbowl Patriot XXXVI
Superbowl patriots cheer half-time propaganda, fake titties, tooting trumpets. “FREEDOM” is in lights and is shitting itself out of Post-Hippy “Call me Sir” Paul McCartney’s multi-millionaire fucking mouth. Machine guns raised. Kegs secure. Beers held high! The (Presidential) Liar is in the house! Bono’s in the house! We’re DOOMED! FUCKING DOOMED! FUCKING...

Ordinary People Do Fucked Up Things When Fucked Up...
Words can’t do justice to pain. Seems like they can’t feel a thing. Ordinary people do fucked-up things when fucked-up things become ordinary. I can’t promise utopia or a better world. I have no clever lures. No harsh punishment if you don’t bite the hook. It’s a world of shit or bust. There’s no escape from disappointment. When you commit heart and soul to...

The Only Good Fascist Is A Very Dead Fascist.
Swastikas and Klan-robes. Sexist, racist, homophobes. Aryan-Nations and Hammerskins: you can wear my nuts on your nazi chins! God, I love a man in uniform! (But, uh, before we get too intimate here, big fella): what exactly are the great historical accomplishments of “your” race that make you proud to be white? Capitalism? Slavery? Genocide? Sitcoms? Guns? War? Pollution?...

Fuck Machine
It’s something physical, conditioned reaction. It’s something physical, conditioned attraction. But have I finally escaped? Will my eyes no longer rape the innocent women, children, human beings? Seeing the pain that it brings. Shallow, superficial decision. Real beauty obscured by my television. But this just in! Bikini film at ten. The female anchor smiles and shrugs it off,...

Natural Disasters
In which god’s name will we be killed? Who’s most righteous? Who’s most terrified? When your parents left the house we would creep up to their room, to the drawer beside the bed. We would pull out the shining dildo. One side dink, the other side Jesus. Not hedonists. Not atheists. Churchgoers. Blockparents. I wonder what lurks in neighbors’ drawers? The most pristine are...
