All Pigs

None of us are equal!

All Pigs

Vicarious virtue

vivid in its vacuous

value is daubed

upon once clear

window panes

by bloodied hands.

The paint dripping

in yellow rivers

of fear and loathing

stinks

of decaying flesh.

Death is at the centre

of existence

and we either embrace it,

resist it

or close our eyes

and pray

to whichever god

takes us.

Across the globe

dead eyed men

in grey suits

or thawbs

watch over

starvation,

destruction

and death.

They,

devoid of pumping hearts

simply suck the air

out of humanity,

and spew their greedy

puss filled vomit

over corpses,

as their egos

and their coffers

fill.

Now this is dope. Concentrated and controlled venom spitting sick truth. You can feel the passion and raw emotion. Ya, the word equality makes me laugh when our wonderful politicians take over the mic. Great work my friend. Seriously good stuff.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Many thanks Duff. it does make me seethe. Thought you had disappeared as I have not seen any writing nor posts from you recently?

[duff]

Hey John! Great to hear from you man. I'll message you.

Sadly Britain is near the top of that list.
If the public realised these countries are testing grounds for all sorts of heinous weapons.
They might bleat about it, and change it.
Will it change. Absolutely no chance.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

I agree Paul it will not change. Many thanks.

Happy Christmas! Peace and goodwill lends itself to the disenchantment of the already disenchanted. Whilst your words show definition - and defiance, surely tis up to folk to pause and think what they can do, stop scribbling for a start and actually do something. We vote, we get the leaders we deserve. We bow to despots, we cringe at the shouters and screamers. Many people worldwide merely exist in their own little worlds, tragically afraid or unable to speak out. For many of the complacent 'i'm alright, don't tell me what to do' - ethics and humanity's flown out the window because living in one's own selfish little world might not cure, cannot cure, but saves time, trouble, effort - and brings in the profits.

A fine piece of writing, yours.. one that makes me think on and on.. knowing i already act in my own little way by this and that means. Good for you.

You, like many like minded folk understand, but are as helpless as babies to stop the killing in Yemen, the corruption across the globe and the greed of the people who think we should be dominated by the stock market or the GDP and not happiness!

[emmajoy]

True in the wide picture, but does that mean we can't try via organisations etc. to speak out.. to defy the filth rifling life out of our planet and its people. Ok. sorry, will stop adding to my sermon but do feel strongly on this topic.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

No we must continue to try, but be wary of 'lip service'

[emmajoy]

Agreed up to ten characters.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Two for you!

[Einstein Noodle]

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Watching the News right now (not English News as it is so sanitised) leaves you mortified at the suffering across this 21st century globe. Many thanks 'E'

[Einstein Noodle]

yep! i have cut way back on the news ..too distressing and feel rather helpless and hopeless :(

[John Alexander McFadyen]

I don't blame you but being one of three monkeys, is that the way to be?

[Einstein Noodle]

well ...if speaking no evil is the one...i guess its ok ...and i do have one eye and one ear still operating so ...that makes two monkeys of the three ;)

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Oh you git!

[Einstein Noodle]

ahahahahaha top o' the mahrnin' and the rest of the day to ya to boot! :)

[John Alexander McFadyen]

You too ya irreverent git!

[Einstein Noodle]

ok...have to confess me ignorance...what is a "git" besides a control system for coordinating and organizing ...

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Ah tis a joke but here is the definitive answer lol:
Git (slang) ... Git is a term of insult with origins in British English denoting an unpleasant, silly, incompetent, stupid, annoying, senile, elderly or childish person. As a mild oath it is roughly on a par with prat and marginally less pejorative than berk.

[Einstein Noodle]

ahahahaha ...yep...tha's me all right ..and thanks for an easy to remember insult...even i should be able to include and use it in my list :)) oh..you have me chuckling now .. thanks man!

[John Alexander McFadyen]

It used to be commonly used in the Uk, especially in Scotland. Use it with pride!
