Following issuance of another so-called 'Consultation Document' by the UK government: The 'Golden Rule' — or 'Royal Law' — is to love others as you love yourself. Vaccine mandates are not only unloving, according to this simple precept, but tear up Magna Carta, our foundational Consitutional text! They strip people of the right to work and disproportionately target poorly paid service workers. 'Authoritarian creep' has become authoritarian sprint with the UK government!
The authorities continue their acts of blasphemy against God's image in Man! Abdiel's latest entry in his 20-year VERSES VERSUS EMPIRE series.
Covid variants have become an alphabet soup while the world's power structures vainly try to keep up.
I knew Nancy first then met her husband, Eugene. Together they had two fine sons, all grown up now. Thank you for your lifelong friendship! This is an Elizabethan-form sonnet (rhyming scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GG) and another poem in the forthcoming collection, HER INFINITE VARIETY. Geni.us/Beauties
Another entry in the forthcoming collection, HER INFINITE VARIETY. Join one of Abdiel's Readers lists for updates.
Abdiel's latest Poetry collection, HER INFINITE VARIETY, will be released later this year.
Remember Matt Hancock's parting words as he ran away from reporters? "Get our there, and get your vaccine!" Do you think, after years of fraud and mismanagement, he finally got religion at the last-minute and started telling the truth? This is the most recent entry in Abdiel LeRoy's VERSES VERSUS EMPIRE series of political poetry and prose.
The Associated Press fired journalist Emily Wilder on May 19, 2021, two days after she posted the following tweet: " 'Objectivity' feels fickle when the basic terms we use to report news implicitly stake a claim. Using 'Israel' but never 'Palestine,' or 'war' but not 'siege and occupation' are political choices—yet media make those exact choices all the time without being flagged as biased."
A "climate summit" that invites Bill Gates and Michael Bloomberg to speak? How stupid does Biden think we are?!
I usually mark Apr. 23 with some tribute to Shakespeare on his official birthday, but this year, just after the guilty verdicts pronounced on Derek Chauvin for the murder of George Floyd, I am marking instead St. George's Day, also Apr. 23.
I, and thousands more independent authors, have been scammed for years by Amazon's audiobook retailer, Audible, which pays authors a lousy 25% share of the royalties it takes in, and then incentivizes subscribers to return audiobooks anyway by recycling a single credit. And every return is deducted against the author's account! I am part of the 'Audiblegate' campaign to bring down this conman corporation!
on Trump's final acts in office. THIS IS THE CLOSING POEM!!! of the three-volume VERSES VERSUS EMPIRE COLLECTION. I began the collection 20 years ago when George W. Bush was installed in the White House and have continued through three imperial presidencies.
A distillation from VERSES VERSUS EMPIRE, this book embraces the transformative power of Covid to heal the planet and to overthrow the existing order of enslavement that exploits its peoples and species.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has what it takes to be the next president of the United States, not in 2025 but in 2021 !
Safety is just one of five key areas in which to assess the Covid vaccines. This analysis also takes a deep dive into Efficacy, Constitutionality, Morality, and Logic, while drawing on prophetic insights from the Bible.
Plague was an abolitionist when wielded by Moses. So again today with Covid. When Moses and his brother Aaron first appeared together at Pharaoh's court to demand the liberation of their people, Aaron threw down his staff, which turned into a snake. Though, like the snake, Covid at first appears viperous and venemous, it is the opening gambit in a campaign of abolition. Its ultimate agenda is to heal and set free!
On Britain's second lockdown. The UK goverment continues to overreact and underperform in its Covid response. Telling us we cannot exit the country is a violation of domestic and international law, authoritarian, and above all seriously fucked up. This is the latest entry in VERSES VERSUS EMPIRE.
The latest entry in VERSES VERSUS EMPIRE, my three-volume collection of poetry and prose covering three imperial presidencies. I began the series in 2001, and it continue to grow.
This is no longer about the politics of left and right, Democrat and Republican, but about the greater politics of Life and Death, Creation and Destruction. Choose Life!
Plague's role in the Bible is that of an abolitionist. Moses wielded it against Pharaoh to free an enslaved people. Covid is our champion in the overthrow of oppressive power structures and their leaders. For context, go to Exodus 7 in the Bible, and to find out how Trump's story ends, go to Exodus 14:28 and 2 Kings 1:16.
I'm loving the podcast, Natalie Haynes Stands up for the Classics. The most recent episode is on Eurydice whom Orpheus lost when bringing her up from the Underworld, because he turned back and looked at the last second.
I then read the poems on Eurydice by Carol Ann Duffy and H.B. Then came up with a poem of my own, identifying with Orpheus' regret. Maybe he just didn't want Eurydice enough? Then he'd have the excuse, "Well at least I tried."
In part inspired by contributions of Naomi Klein, Bill Mckibben, and Arundhati Roy broadcast on DemocracyNow!
