Paul C. Sandison

London, United Kingdom

The twentieth century has been the most explosive, devastating and brutal ever. Still the rape, murder, torture, destructions and genocide continues. The "Hollywood" media accentuates the cancer, amplifying the evil instead of showing solutions. Meanwhile: The European superstate is undemocratic. Fifteen ministers decide on questions prepared by a monolithic bureaucracy in Brussels! Sweden harbors racists and lays false evidence before the European court of Human Rights. South African arms terrorist states and slides into drugs, silence, and corruption. A thousand species become extinct every year. The evil is global. Let us each do our bit to stop it. all of it!

Our Universe At Midnight

Through harmony of air and light
filling the crisp clear ice cold sky
heralding the rising star in the deep blue night
before the moon shines high
and the heavens turn black
and the star strewn band of light,
so pretty, so fair, so intensely bright
protruding in places far and dear
shows us the depth of our universe
and how microscopically tiny we are here.

and then the mighty heavens bow down and kiss us
with beautiful phrases of shadow and light
mystery and twinkle eyes
all over the huge dark twirling skies
out here in deep deep outer space
a billion pin point steady rays
of colour and light in a wispy maze
of giant kaleidoscopes, brilliant and bright,
spread across the vast starry extend
of our universe at midnight.

Stop The Torture!

Young life, young life, ripped sadistically from the womb
torn to pieces in agony, butchered by the knife
before in pieces being exposed
to chemicals, poisons, gas, fire and acid.
It ell you: at this very moment
the soul of the tiny child still lives
and no preposterous statement
by the living can alter this.

and the animals, the furry and the feathered,
the scaled and unscaled living creatures
that I have scattered
throughout the corner so the earth,
ye now massacre and torture,
rip and slice while still alive
and inflict those indescribable pains
no being should ever suffer.

Damn ye, man and women of this earth.
I made the earth a jewel in the night;
and ye have turned it
into the sewers and torture chambers of hell.
