Hi James… popped in to check my email and had a quick look at your site. Glad to see Napi Mephisto ruffling the feathers of the usual suspects. [People] who believe humans can’t destroy the planet should look into what a CERN nuclear safety officer had to say when he sued about eight years ago (concerning creating black holes & stranglets or strange matter.) Meanwhile, I’ve (for years but very infrequently) dabbled with poetry, here’s a small sample:
Out the door, offline and on the move again in a few minutes but as always, thank you
the year the world took the z-pill
within leviathan’s craw
broken dance
the lesser angels of our nature
on the overton railroad
honor among men
the gods of boxing
the greatest boxer
america the brutal
barbarism versus civilization
menthol rampage
logic of steel
ranger?
thriving in bad places
predation
song of the secret gardener
triumph
when you're food
uncle satan
fiction anthology one
book of nightmares
logic of force
orphan nation
all-power-fighting
fanatic
dark, distant futures
the fighting edge
wife—
on combat
time & cosmos
masculine axis
blue eyed daughter of zeus
under the god of things
the sunset saga complete
fate
advent america
the greatest lie ever sold
songs of aryas
by the wine dark sea
winter of a fighting life
sons of aryas
sorcerer!
taboo you
beasts of aryas
let the world fend for itself
hate
cracker-boy
son of a lesser god
your trojan whorse
z-pill forever
the combat space
the first boxers
into leviathan’s maw
night city
solo boxing
Ron, Nice poems, seems like my realm of the dark side, were you pissed or just neutral, when you penned them? I read this type of poetry some days for strength, melancholy, can be a virtue when inverted. I work in Enviromental Science, self taught, trying to push my grandson into this field. I wish people could see my world, they might change their minds, Me and my coworkers, have been responsible for refits to botched engineering, of course they kept the royalties, not wise to give hillbillys too much folding cash.
