I. Battle / Battle (007.1)

Battle

I like to lick your nostrils,
several seconds after I cum.
When your sweaty glistening body,
leaves your naked essence numb.

When exasperated breathing,
tries to grasp a primal thought.
Like a warrior outnumbered in battle,
fighting far beyond he ought.

“Oh my god darling,” you whisper elated.
“What in heaven‘s name did we just do?“
‘Well, I survived another battle…‘
What did all of this mean to you?

II. Battle / Courage (007.2)

Courage

Your morning mood a subterranean snake-pit.
Eerily silence covers the foreboding strike.
Somewhat comparable to Medieval knights,
first encountering the merciless Swiss pike.

Too accustomed to grasp its true meaning,
they bluntly chose not to comprehend.
Their heroic armor blatantly pierced,
by what a blacksmith failed to defend.

When you’re struck by a vicious blow,
an unsuspecting inflammatory remark.
Stand in battle alongside your brother,
or risk being slaughtered in the dark.

III. Battle / Aggrevated (007.3)

Aggrevated

The lets-pretend-and-be-fake-crew,
approaches someone they once knew.
“How are we doing on this beautiful day?“
I slap her face in an embroidered way.

She looks rather stunned but recovers her poise.
“Happiness, is all about making the right choice…“
I pull out a gun and shoot her in the face.
Hmm… maybe she’s right about the nature of this place.

IV. Battle / Ambush (007.4)

Ambush

Bullets pierce the front window,
Blood flows from driver to seat.
How strange to feel your body burst,
like badly butchered meat.

I try to reach for my handgun,
but the bullets surpass a dozen.
‘Kalashnikov,‘ I mechanically note,
as I look at the face of my cousin.

His body sprayed onto the dashboard.
He tries to scream with a smile.
I guess we’re just a statistic,
destined to bleed for a while.

Mako The Poet

V. Battle / Empire (007.5)

Empire

Wipe my sweaty oily fingers,
on the inside of my pockets.
Just finished my fish and chips,
salt and vinegar tweak my sockets.

Stained grey paper; Marlboro tar.
I swipe my toast with Marmalade jar.
Finish off with a brisk black tea.
No wonder England once ruled the sea.

Mako The Poet

VI. Battle / April (007.6)

April

Your mouth shaped like a vagina,
Your body welcoming and bright.
I love to watch you serenade,
the beauty of dreaming at night.

The flocculent lines of your being.
You’re aloof in charming ways.
Your voice dazzling and derelict,
when we touch in loving embrace.

You dream and whisper my name.
Sounds like I forgot to do some chore.
Gently kiss your warm soft lips,
how could any man ask for more?

The timeless Wisdom of John Locke, the Father of Liberalism and Profound Guardian of the Rights of the Human Individual:

“All men by nature are equal in that equal right that every man hath to his natural freedom, without being subjected to the will or authority of any other man; being all equal and independent, no one ought to harm another in his life, health, liberty or possessions.”

“Every man has a property in his own person. This nobody has a right to, but himself.”

“I have no reason to suppose that he, who would take away my Liberty, would not when he had me in his Power, take away everything else.”

“Liberty is to be free from restraint and violence from others.”

“Whoever uses force without Right … puts himself into a state of War with those, against whom he uses it, and in that state all former Ties are canceled, all other Rights cease, and every one has a Right to defend himself, and to resist the Aggressor.”

“Whenever legislators endeavor to take away and destroy the property of the people, or to reduce them to slavery under arbitrary power, they put themselves into a state of war with the people, who are thereupon absolved from any further obedience.”

“Revolt is the right of the people.”

“Individuals have a right to defend themselves and recover by force what by unlawful force is taken from them.”

“Wherever Law ends, Tyranny begins.”

“The power of the legislative, being derived from the people by a positive voluntary grant and institution, can be no other than what that positive grant conveyed, which being only to make laws, and not to make legislators, the legislative can have no power to transfer their authority of making laws, and place it in other hands.”

“A liberty to follow my own will in all things where that rule prescribes not, not to be subject to the inconstant, uncertain, unknown, arbitrary will of another man, as freedom of nature is to be under no other restraint but the law of Nature.”

“In transgressing the law of nature, the offender declares himself to live by another rule than that of reason and common equity”

“Any single man must judge for himself whether circumstances warrant obedience or resistance to the commands of the civil magistrate; we are all qualified, entitled, and morally obliged to evaluate the conduct of our rulers. This political judgment, moreover, is not simply or primarily a right, but like self-preservation, a duty to God. As such it is a judgment that men cannot part with according to the God of Nature. It is the first and foremost of our inalienable rights without which we can preserve no other.”

“So that, in effect, religion, which should most distinguish us from beasts, and ought most peculiarly to elevate us, as rational creatures, above brutes, is that wherein men often appear most irrational, and more senseless than beasts themselves.”

“The end of law is not to abolish or restrain, but to preserve and enlarge freedom. For in all the states of created beings capable of law, where there is no law, there is no freedom.”
