Sour Crack : Inspired by Real Events : A Muslim man Thrown off National Express Coach

http://gonzotoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Recording-sourcrack.m4a

A crowbar fist knuckles him into place
A beer stained punch bloodies his soft brown face
A dulling scream pierces the stained city streets
A stream of hate under his glass cracked feet
A backpack and prayer beads lie by his side
A xenophobic ghost springs to life
A choir of loathing defecates the air
Bingo Witches gossip and stare
Foreign disquiet on British land
Accusing fingers convict an innocent man
Pats on the back for a
PHANTOM attack
And small minded applause
For a sham government WAR.

I don’t care about war or famine gay rights
race hate or the government regime.
I just want to tweep what I eat
And snap chat dozens of selfies
Force feed me with tabloid gossip
And pork panty ‘news’
Tie me down with sound bytes
Feel good quotes and offers of cheap Jimmy
Choos
Killings murders rapes and gangland robberies
Open an opium den of winner takes all celebrity
With front cover spreads for grubby
Media heads
A wild purple Winter gorging on tinsel lies
Spikes in the doorway and new borns on ice
Teenage dreams relegated to Taylor Swift memes
And suicide
Sleigh me to hell under the choral trumpet of
Christmas bells.

A Midnight Ramble

http://gonzotoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/A-midnight-ramble-2.m4a

I saw the newsfeed today
‘Kill Muslim scum’
And Adele ‘steals another song’
The stars on DWT are plastik fantastik they pirouette
Their tanned torsos with diamante and 7 figure checks
Their pockets smile
Buying into Trump’s sorrel coloured tripe
A xenophobic clown with
A gimme gimme leer
Put him in a bi coloured silk jumpsuit
And wheel him out for comic outtakes
Or preaching pretty on Americana Dreams
And I wept for the stars and stripes that
Made the USA great
Hollywood Rama
Sporting Drama
Beatnik Genius
Now in the hands of a peach jelly butt
REVOLUTION isn’t dating online – gun babies or
INSTITUTIONALISED hate
Aaah the Blue Unicorn’s in sight on the
Flamingo toned wheels of the sun
Insta Fools
Click Press Play
CHANGE is a silver dollar moment
Zombie drunk dizzards spoofing on ass pics of Kim K
It’s not gonna be alright
When millennial screams are
Whooping over toilet chic
And tabloid headlines
Feed the GREED of phonies on the take
Kill or be killed new world order.

Ashram Jello

See the horse with wings and yelloweey eyes
Swirling circles of painted skies
Dream of the Pop Wizard from koo koo kechoo island
Say how do you do to the chimp with red diamonds
Rap on the lake in purple tongues
Sit on a ray of tweetie – pie sun
Kiss the rabbit in velvet brocade
And jazz the gong with pink lemonade
The kosmos is krunchie like strawberry chiffon
Clock – rock tutti –frutti all night long!
