Cruel Manipulator, like machine you jostle positive and negative
Domination, control and manipulation.
Scorpions, chameleons, snakes your song drums
Draining my peoples blood dry

Cruel Manipulator
Cruel Manipulator, like machine you jostle positive and negative
Domination, control and manipulation.
Scorpions, chameleons, snakes your song drums
Draining my peoples blood dry
***
Only bones without sinew
Only if they had chance to try
***
Controlled you their styles
Controlled you their steps that they walk not freely
Ruled you too their minds that they think no more
Their spirits and bodies you put in chains
***
Your fear grip their nights
Your presence close their sun
Your arrival darken their mornings
Manipulation, dominance your twin name
Your 3 + 3 equates 9, inverted 6
Your 1 + 1= 11 additional fraud
You put Mr.A and Mr.2 making them dance your song
Incompatibles! unequally yoked marriages
Making them walk on their heads
***
Dominance anywhere everywhere
Among your peers impositions
Beyond your class you raise your head
Your decision is all in all
Placing your legs above your ladder
Upside down world!
Lathery, frothy bursting bubbles
Like the ladder snake (Rhinechis scalaris)
Defensive with offensive foul odor

This book represents a thirty-day period of my poetry journal. Each poem addresses the dominant thoughts occupying my mind during the early morning hours of a given day.
