The Great Arbitrator
Prejudicially devoid
Imbibed as colourless equals
Supping sumptuously with bourbon kings
Sculling warmth on Kazaks steppes
Sacrificing Aztec and Inca alike
Spinning trance of milky white
Stills drip of shinning moon
Syncopating Big Ben to Juniper’s tune
Soaking haggis with highland bands
Spiralling deranged tempest on a starry night
Salutations to Pharaohs frothing afterlife
Stripped clean of wrong and right
Moaning Ad nausea on awakening light

TheGreat Arbitrator
Divisive between action and thought
Every decision set aside
Each millisecond of scrutiny disappears
With each lamina layers dissolve
Thought divulges each words embrace
A bright eyed ruddy child’s smiling visage peers
Clutching controls from under the conscious blanket
There can be no depth of implication
Neither given or seen
On any 2 dimensional board
Oblivious to the revolving door
And seduced by coloured energy
Ultimately it’s sound that beats the painful retreat

The Great Arbitrator
Totally inert to pain
Search and stripped of all baggage
Ushered into Sheiks tent swathed in wispy veils
Cool zephyr’s fingers sooth and caress
To the rhythmic beat of syncopating primordial trance
Discarded body dissolves into the sumptuous background
Leaving an inflated airy shell
Swirling blown veils subtly entrance your view
Love and beauty sprout everywhere
With every drop the parched desert becomes drier
Necessitating bores to bite deeper
While the outside world is reduced to a gyrating blur
Evermore microbes are ushered to drown in their own excrement

The Great Arbitrator
Washes away every stain
Consequently every dye as well
Words and action reduced to a reflex arc
The razor’s edge no longer able to cut
The hounds of humour are let loose
To run free with the pack
Fragmented ideas join together disjointedly
In a squishy wishy world
Of pointless untagged stimuli
Naked of constraints and restraints
All preconceptions are bypassed and ignored
Directed by the Trojan horse
A passkey to another world

The Great Arbitrator
Of the utterly indifferent
Allowing every word to skew and slip sideways
Then dribble from permanently open mouths
Some socially uninhibited flowers while others turn to stone
Drowned whispers are elevated to the social pages
Subconsciously leaking between the uni verses
And begin speaking with the confidence of sages
“Everything is beautiful in it’s own way”
Featureless highlighted – forming strange apples and pears
Forgotten is the ferryman who will have to be paid
While in the corner thoughts turn to heavenly sleep
The gutter is as soft as any bed
No learned than before “It must have been great because I don’t remember a thing”

The Great Arbitrator
Birth of heroes and myth
Induced by repetitive verbal spells
Exponential grown by hypnotising fire
Entrenched, endorsed by law
Each redefining the greatest malady
Yet tainted by perspectives all
The ultimate magi
Worshipped by friends
Despised by foe
Intoxicated delusion derived reality
Glorious self detonated hopelessness
Bypassing the subterranean farm
To a bright new dawn
