I finally scanned the covers of my great grandma's #poetry books that she wrote. They were printed in the 90s and were sold at a hospital she was at and they raised funds for the hospice.
I typed each of the #poems up and they are on my #wattpad. Now I have done the front covers (that she drew!) I think I can lie the project to rest.... That is unless I know someone in publishing who could republish them again on a grand(er) scale 🤔

So this night I have completed #writing up the first collection (of the two) of #poems that my great grandma wrote.
She wrote them in the late 90s and sold them with the profits going to a hospital that she went to.
I discovered them my grandma's attic a few years ago and wanted to do something with them...
And so part one of my task complete. It gives me a weird sense of pleasure and finality to present 28 poems that she had written.

WHITE MEN
IN BUSINESS SUITS
WORTH MILLIONS
PAID FOR BY
THEIR BILLIONAIRE
MASTERS
PRAYING
who do they pray for; but for, white men in business suits, worth millions —paid for by their billionaire masters.
do not call this christianity
do not call this piety
this is EGOTHEISM
messianic narcissism
wrapped in a flag
carried not by
a jewish carpenter
on the long walk from
Gethsemane
but by creatures bourne
of hateful veneration
with faces
like mirrors

English version !
I have started a thread today
I call it the infinite thread 🙄😁
I will keep expanding it
Each time with new topics, how we manage to fight and blow up the system they have imposed on us
For a better world for all of us, for a more human ❤️
For each theme I will also write a poem
This thread will stay pinned so everyone can find the beginning of the infinite 😂😂

【Drink Blood Of Apples】
Drink Blood Of Apples
© Surazeus
2023 05 28
My face has turned so white with joyful angst
I disappear in marble statue core,
yet leave my name, and dates of birth and death,
carved into hard flesh of the universe
so when I walk away from my own tomb
only my voice remains as wordless wind.
Though I have forgotten all I once knew
I read my story in strange words I write
with blood that flows with tears of hopeless love
which glow as weird dramatic scenes of life
on flashing television screen of truth
to blind millions of people with fake news.
Because my living body conjures love
as screaming shadow of newspaper tales
I clothe my naked mind with simple faith
till I become alien to my best friends
who walk shattered hillsides of scarlet trees
to drink blood of apples with careless laugh.
Awake in misty dimension of facts
which people hide in secret treasure chests,
I challenge divine doctrines of old priests
who strew ancestral seeds in rancid soil
so screaming warriors burst from field of dreams
to dance on wooden bridge of anxiousness.
With musical potency stripping lies
I choose to believe unreality
appearing clear around my naked soul
when I rise fragile from skeleton veil
to incorporate passion of weeping words
poured from wild blazing wisdom of the sun.
When lucid dome of Heaven forged from gold
shimmers bright under green waves of innocence
I sail small fishing boat of eager hope
toward sacred isle that sinks in sea of eyes
since I must choose the meaning of my life
by writing novel no one would believe.
So I dance barefoot with unfettered glee
on fallen statues of rebellious kings
who die alone in castles of cracked skulls
since no one listens to their prophecies
misconstructing strange visions of the truth
which echo vacantly through eerie caves.
Archaic sentiment for river towns,
which I deny could poison my foul heart,
disturbs that universe of fallen gods
because we need no tyrants to obey,
so we will vote for intelligent clowns
to lead our empire from the broken throne.
