The United States of Ownership and Habits Much Too Onerous has lost its plot.              Its gonna slip out of the spot where phoney tits and sugar bread lead global shifts of villagers away from all God’s gifts: then simple family faith is lost in front of television hosts whose charming smiles rape & gloat for shopping kings who cannot sing the simplest human touching things.

YA  MALIK              (invoking The King Beyond)

These bisnesses of glassed empire
squeeze their lenses to enquire how
much more fresh blood they can hire
from pallid skins which must expire.


  Outside charging shop widows
no one profits from village losses
     because we all need homes
       which nobody else owns.
