The Race For Glass

Celebrity smoking
crunching, fiddling
and raging.
Those wind up pigs
are here to stay.
The frittering, fingering
boiling and stuttering
wind up sows,
here to stay
and f**k the armies of slug footed
press ganged kids.

We labour nothing
only to seek a life beyond the vain;
a foul glitzy whirlwind
that terrorizes ambition
and gifts it to the sloth cameras.
Autographs and semi literate biographies
become bibles to the unbibled,
those decibel children who seek gold
before a soul...

Jack Scabbard

F**k that rat arsed punk.
The sheen of jellied spite from him
is scorched away by contempt for his peasant mind
and scarecrow'd eyeballs.
Hag of ages!
Super pauper of graffiti glass
flogged by razor pen and ill will,
get dead in silence cadaveronia!
The triumph of a mad Smirnoff prophet
on stars to high town...

Crypt Of Lieberkuhn

Dig the rat men who sail with scissors and blood
a deeper grave than most.
Send them down to the crypt of Lieberkühn
to erase every foulest trace
and make their hateful lessons as mute as mud.
No monument for murder
should ever be,
so shovel and forget,
forget them in the crypt of Lieberkühn....
