Screaming From A Distance

All I hear now is a distant scream
that haunts the midnight sky
Empty streets are filled with
cries from a cold confinement
Blood stained road leads to the
dark side of man

The last hope of cinder’s dies
as the air is filled with the stench of death
What left are Doubts and lies
and the world is still silent

The only thing necessary for the triump of evil... is for good men to do nothing

Diamonds Are Forever

Diamonds are forever. But human lives and limbs are not! Blood diamonds or conflict diamonds. Do you know where your diamonds come from? Do you know the destructive role of some of these diamonds played in countries like Angola and Sierra Leone? Some of these illicit blood diamonds fund and prolong the conflicts in Liberia, the Democratic of Congo, in Angola and Sierra Leone, it is even accused of funding international terrorism. Our fascination and infatuation with this tiny carbon base stone lies within our human nature. It is a dream of countless people to own this valuable piece of Earth. It supposed to symbolize eternal love and wealth. But some of these diamonds, lives and limbs was the prize so that it could get into our hands. Next time you buy a diamond, think about the social, political and economic influence it will have to the rest of the world. Make sure it did not come from the conflict regions of Africa and it pass the Kimberly Process of Certification. But this process of certification is even questionable.

Writings from a Journal

In Limbo
Broken, bruised and beaten to the ground
helpless and screaming inside
welted and frayed from the agony
of my childhood inner fears

Silently weeping and no one can hear
while my inner demons dancing by the moonlight
I howl at the moon before the clouds passes-by
to cover my only hope of light

Crawling out from the depth of hell
only to realized to roam in eternal limbo


(late summer, somewhere in Europe. Too fucked-up, took a wrong ticket, wrong train and end up in a different city while friends waitng in Madrid, Spain)

Choose Life!

Choose Life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television, choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players and electrical tin openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol, and dental insurance. Choose fixed interest mortage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisurewear and matching luggage. Choose a three-piece suite on hire purchase in a range of fucking fabrics. Choose DIY and wondering who the fuck you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing, spirit-crushing game shows, stuffing fucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pishing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked up brats you spawned to replace yourself. Choose your future. Choose life.
- John Hodge


RejectionNow, here I am begging for protection
for I do my own inflection
not a day will pass without injection
in this world filled with rejection
for people who is not into perfection

The world spin to its own oblivion
glass, crystal and ice
inhale without provocation
with the devil’s decision
everything is in motion.
(Toledo, Spain)

Life Less Than Ordinary - explores the profound effects of alcohol, drugs and boredom

Somehow we’re all trapped and stuck for being that we are. We often times fight to change ourselves but ultimately all the effort has little effect. We could change what we do but we cannot change who we are. You struggle year after year but getting nowhere and wonder if anything will ever change and the unavoidable answer to this reality is that, life sucks. But we can’t give up just yet. We keep struggling to solve our problems, our dilemmas but somehow the forces that created me random or otherwise has already spoken and determines that my life sucks!

I don’t know how common this is but somehow I feel so disconnected from everyone and everything. I am psychologically fucked up but maybe given the right drugs and therapy it will change in a major ways. I could feel good, relaxed, comfortable and I can feel happiness, excitement and I can experience my life as a great meaningful adventure. I can feel that all my troubles have been washed away. Like any other well-balanced person! Who am I kidding!

I tried gorging on as many drugs as I can possibly put into my system with the thought that it will ease the pain but of course not to the point that you could OD. When you find the drug you like, doing it occasionally won’t be enough. You want to do it everyday, you want it all the time. But in the end, this also unleashed a whole host of problems and next thing you know your life is fucked up in every way imaginable. You got your original problem plus you are an alcoholic or a drug addict! Life’s little ironies; the only thing that makes you feel good is also the thing that will destroy your mind and body. You do it long enough, your life!

I think most of the mood altering drugs available are just masking the symptoms for some these disorders. Tranquilizer for anxiety, antidepressants for depressive disorders and so on. Because the reality is no one truely understand the human psyche.
