THE DOGS OF WAR Dec 19, 2023

Show notes

A comprehensive piece discusses the mercenaries known as the "Dogs of War" who engage in conflict for financial gain across the globe. Africa has long struggled with the presence of such militants, and even today, they continue to sow chaos worldwide, including in regions like Israel, Palestine, Russia, and Ukraine. These "Dogs of War" are hired by numerous superpowers, and their growing numbers have started to turn against those who once trained and supported them – including countries such as America, Russia, Iran, and Saudi Arabia, among others. In fact, all major powers have played a sinister role in funding these private armies to carry out their covert operations. The unfortunate consequence is that these mercenaries consistently choose Africa as their battleground.

THE COUNTESS Dec 16, 2023

Show notes

Krystyna Skarbek was a Polish beauty queen, a countess, and the longest-serving spy in Churchill's wartime Special Operations Executive (SOE). With a life expectancy of just six weeks, she managed to last seven years as a field agent, fighting against Nazi tyranny, only to be betrayed by her own trusted powers, the British. At the end of the Second World War, with a stroke of their metaphorical Judas pen, they turned her into a stateless refugee and leaked her name to Stalin's newly formed KGB. On the day she was due to fly out to be married and, alas, finally set free, she was murdered. She was the bravest of the brave, a true Femme Fatale of destiny.

SACRED RAIN Dec 14, 2023

A poem about the rain cycle's continual celestial cleansing this perpetual purification of precipitation shows no discrimination of skin treating us all to the same asperging sanctification from sin .

THE ARTIST Dec 13, 2023

Show notes

A Musing about my artist girlfriend from Barcelona, Spain, I couldn't understand what she meant by being a spiritual suffragette. Sacrificing love and life for her art, I thought her to be pompous and pretentious, born with a silver spoon up her sleeve. Now, after months of lockdown, living as a mendicant monk in my own garret cell of solitary confinement, I'm beginning to understand her purgatory point of view .

LOVE Nov 30, 2023

Show notes

Thinking back to my parents fate it's hard to see how they once did romantically pass through the eden gate into the land of milk and money where they fell hopelessly in love and felt the urge to passionately procreate , after which they wore the mortgage mask that twenty five year servile task eventually paying back the bank managers seven percent overdraft , they scrimped and scrapped in a steel city strife an then this beleaguered husband and wife decided to search out a big world party and a brand new life , they both sat before a monk faced magistrate who annulled their vows of matrimony awarding one spouse the house and the other a monthly allowance of alimony, Friends and family did try to console and commiserate all in vain an far too late due to both parties now having hearts made of suede and heads full of hate .
