He does not seem capable of understanding the culture, tensions or history of the region! It’s not going to go well, is it?
Fighting Words – Available in Paperback/Hardback/Kindle
This is my latest offering. Just more words. I may have invented one or two but mainly they are just old words rearranged in order to recreate the thoughts and feelings that swirl around in my head. I have these concepts living in electricity in circuits in my brain. They seem to mean something. I translate them into symbols. These symbols are made of letters. The letters represent sounds. The sounds form a language. Language enables conscious human beings to express themselves and communicate. Communication is good. We are not alone. We share.
The hope is that the emotions, feelings are thoughts that go on in my head are similar to the ones that reside in your head. It’s a forlorn hope. In reality we are islands of consciousness unable to understand the universe any other being inhabits. My red is different to your red. I live in an entirely different universe to you.
But I am not deterred.
I still interpret electricity, convert it to symbols and use them to make contact. It’s futile. All life is futile. That’s what makes it magnificent.
These are my words.
You can purchase my words for a very small sum of money. You can own them, think about them and see if we manage to communicate across the infinite reaches that separate us. I hope so!
Fighting words. Fighting life. Fighting meaning. Life not death.
Fighting justice, fighting freedom, Fighting for breath.
Fighting arrogance, fighting violence, Fighting Hate.
Fighting for my principles before it’s all too late!
Fighting greed, fighting oppression, for fairness and ice-cream!
Fighting for fun, for love, for tolerance – fighting ‘til I scream!
Words are my weapons. Words have many meanings.
I’m fighting words. I’m fighting words.
These are my words.

Here’s a sample!!
How to repel Trump’s Nazi thugs
Put books on the shelves and educate the kids,
Discuss science and art and acanthocephalids.
Talk about compassion and helping our fellow man.
Tell them in our community, we do all that we can.
Spray the whole house to remove all Musk’s bugs.
That’s how to repel horrid Trump’s Nazi thugs.
Train your boys to treat women with respect
Your girls to stand tall and shout ‘What the Heck!’
Demand their rights regardless of gender or race.
Tell fascists they’re a complete disgrace to their face.
Connect the door knocker to the electricity plugs
That’s how to repel Trump’s horrid Nazi thugs.
Study nature in all its wonderful ways
Introduce your friends – the straights and the gays.
Talk about ecology and the impact of man.
Share with them the recycling plan.
Play them good music from Harper to Suggs
That’s how to repel Trump’s horrid Nazi thugs.
Discuss equality – the rich exploiting the poor;
The history of franchise and calamity of war.
Make them empowered to stand up for themselves.
Ban superstition – Jesus, Mohammed and elves.
Don’t forget to give them plenty of hugs;
That’s how to repel Trump’s horrid Nazi thugs.
Welcome foreigners and travel the world.
Share all your dreams, with your hopes unfurled.
Taste all you can taste from cultures and realms
With an open heart so nothing overwhelms.
When the racists chant you won’t need your earplugs.
That’s how to repel Trump’s Nazi thugs.
Opher – 5.11.2024
It’s November 5th. The fireworks are happening in the USA this year!
They’ll be bonfires in the Capitol if Trump gets his way!
All around the world Trump’s philosophy resounds! Nazi philosophy – walls and tariffs – isolationism and sucking up to despots and tyrants.
This is either the age of the Nazi or the era when we put the lid on this hideousness.
The evangelists are in the wings with their Project 2025. They want women back in shackles.
It’s either back to the cruel hypocritical puritanism of the 18th century (with its brothels and men’s clubs and women in chains) or it’s forward to a joyful 21st century!
We’ll see.
Caving in to Putin!!
Buffy St Marie – Never more True
Orwellian Double-Think
I can’t believe the level of double-think. It is very Orwellian.
The American people actually believe a convicted felon with a long history of law breaking is completely innocent and is a victim of political chicanery.
They believe a businessman who has had multiple bankruptcies, business failures and has lost millions is a great businessman who will lead the country to prosperity.
They believe a morally corrupt individual with a conviction for rape, multiple sexual offences and a known friendship with paedophiles (Epstein and DiddY) a history of cheating on wives and a relationship with porn stars (Stormy Daniels) is a moral man.
They believe a man who has been caught out lying more times than Pinocchio is the only purveyor of truth.
They believe a man who has married two immigrants and who employs cheap immigrant labour is the only one to stand up against mass immigration.
They believe a obviously greedy multi-millionaire conman, who uses every opportunity to sell tacky shit and exploit squalid business opportunities, for huge personal gain, has the interests of working people at heart and is working in the Whitehouse for free.
They believe a tax evader who has been brought up with expensive private education, private healthcare, private security, cares about the services provided to the poor.
They believe a man who spends most of his life on the golf course or banqueting with the wealthy is working hard for America.
They believe that a man who hangs out with billionaires, gives massive tax cuts to billions, is one of the working people and understands them.
They believe that a man who lives in a grandiose mansion with a gold toilet, a private jet and multitude of flunkies is one with working people.
They believe that a man who associates with and admires tyrannical, authoritarian, despotic leaders like Putin, Netanyahu, Kim Jung Un and Oban, who has tried to overthrow a legitimate election and instigated an insurrection that killed people, is a legitimate benevolent democratic leader.
They believe that a man who actively spreads conspiracies about global warming being a con, covid being a con and vaccination being dubious, that all the media is giving out fake news and every institution is completely corrupt, is the best person to uphold, truth and the state.
They believe that a man who is putting the future in old polluting industries, instead of investing in new non-polluting industries, will move America forward into the twenty-second century on a firm basis as world leaders. Drill baby drill.
They believe that a man who sides with extreme ultra-right, White supremacist, Nazi groups – like the Proud Boys, empowers right-wing groups, deploys them to march against the capitol, whose father was in the KKK all his life, is not a racist Nazi.
This man is obviously the most crooked, immoral, greedy, self-serving, lying, cheating conman in the United States. What does it say about the morality, education, thinking abilities, ignorance and delusional thinking of the American people? Is it total moral decay? Is it a collapse in intelligence?
It’s called Double-Think. It’s what Big Brother did in George Orwell’s 1984. They’ll probably ban it!
Capitalism v Socialism v Communism
A teacher has a class of 9 children.
They receive ten bars of chocolate.
The teacher takes 9 bars for themselves and divides the remaining bar among the 9 children.
The teacher distributes the chocolate so they all get a bar each.
The class work for the community to earn the money to buy 10 bars of chocolate. They share it equally.
A Shitstorm
A Shitstorm
There’s a shitstorm on the streets
The poets are all asleep
The world run by a clown
Keeping their heads down.
The red caps came for Jeff
But the singers are all deaf
It couldn’t happen here
To the migrants and the queer
But the victimised
Are normalised.
They are coming for the migrants
Women and infants
They are coming for the woke
Soon the other folk
There’s a shitstorm on the streets
The poets are all asleep
Opher – 29.1.2025
A madness seems to have taken over. We’ve forgotten about kindness and compassion. All you need is love. Those were the days.
All you need is hate is the new mantra.
They are coming for the migrants. They are coming for the woke.
They are busy burning books.
They will soon be attacking the queer.
Intolerance rules.
They’ll be stonings in the square.
They’ll be burnings in the stadia.
Some have too much
Some have too much
Some have too much
And some none at all.
Some live in mansions
Some under the wall.
Not from hard work
Neither from indolence
Some laze about
No ounce of common sense
Others do the work
Labour all the day
Others do what they like
Every day is play.
Some believe in fairness
Some believe in justice
For others it’s all just self
It’s greed they practice
Some have all the power
Some barely survive
Some are on the way out
Others just arrive.
Opher 22.1.2025
If we had a completely blank page and the ability to organise the world.
Do you think we would create a world like we inherit today?
Would we have countries?
Would we have billionaires and poverty?
Would we put the power in the hands of the wealthy?
If we could design a social system from scratch what would it look like?
