Cops And Artists: What Do You Stand For?

Cops And Artists: What Do You Stand For?

Dressed up like an outlaw from bottom to tops

Question authority, scrutinize cops drinking tea in my flipflops 

It’s a day job being a bobby, you supposed to stop robbery and

Stand up for justice, not kneel on the neck, let’s discuss this 

I ask all cops and bobbies to search their soul 

To look into their title, their stereotype and role 

I do the same as a musician and artist 

I ask myself, am I lazy, contributing to society 

What are my morals ethics and code of conduct 

Just try to be nice, just don’t fucking murder anybody. 

So cops hear me now, what is it you stand for? 

The protection of people requires more candour 

The origins of the word Police is polite 

What the hell are you doing out there tonight? 

The Polis is the state 

And the policy is the state, but 

Polite is the plight of the people with all due respect

The people YOU are supposed to serve and protect 

Just try and be polite when you break up a fight 

Consider who’s bidding you’re doing 

To be blunt, who’s agenda in office are you serving? 

Who do you stand for, for who do you kneel? 

I don’t want to give all police a hard time 

There’s good cops and bad cops like butchers and Taxi drivers 

But now’s the time to stand up, once again, and shout NO! 

There’s a clear racist agenda in many cop gangs 

Let’s not escalate into pop-shots and bangs 

Stand up and protest with us 

Join the calls for justice for justice 

Look your partners in the eye and talk about this 

No, it’s not as bad as it is in the U.S 

But all cops worldwide should confess 

They distance themselves from this murder mess 

Prove their benevolence and stand up 

To a public scrutiny test. 

Like if a popular rock drummer strangled a security guard

For demanding he show his wrist band or card 

Live on stage live on film, you might understand 

I would write a statement on behalf of all good drummers 

I would distance myself from this monster with a passion 

This killer who happens to share my profession 

Why don’t you, coppa? 

I’d sit down with any of you motherfuckers over a cuppa’ 

We can trade stories, tit for tat 

You tell of your terror and I tell of mine, how’s that? 

We can trade footage of beatings, murder and crime 

You show me your criminals, I’ll show you mine

Of non-violent crime, like growing weed which is fine. 

And what about the culture, ever thought to protect that 

How many raves, festivals, and parties have you shut? 

How many corporate CEOs, Royals, Ministers 

Presidents and Tsars did you protect? 

You weigh it up for me, I’m here twisting my drum sticks 

Ready for your cop marching band of rednecks

Ready for your bullhorn with my mic, tongue flex.

No violence just words and video and sounds 

We do art battle, peaceful yet piercing 

Not violent but inciting thoughts 

Artists don’t need policing like the fans of foot sports 

So celebrate your good cops whomever they may be 

Just don’t show me Dirty Harry, he’s fiction from TV

I ask you again as I’m spread up on the wall 

Cops, what, who and why do you stand for who you stand for? 

--Squintin Quarantino

Silent But Dudley: Black Country Blues - Steven Pratt

Silent But Dudley: Black Country Blues Paperback – December 25, 2017

by Mr Steven James Pratt (Author)

This book collects straight ahead prose with go-on-then poetry, directly inspired by Dudley, Stourbridge, Lye, Brierley Hill, and the West Midlands of England. Edited in Amsterdam, 2017 and Montevideo January 2018. The project started in 2005 shortly after I protested the closure of Brierley Hill swimming baths and soon after those at Closeley.

The dubious nature of these closures forced me to question other similar projects. In just over a decade, it seemed as if the privatization process was consuming an entire country, spawning an end-to-end shopping complex crammed full of needless shite.

Shopping malls, swimming baths, Brexit, fake news, friends who passed, international finance capitalism, immigration, rivers, a conspiracy of spies, racism, death, facebook, trolls, left/right politics, and sadly not Mark E Smith are some subjects expounded upon. All I am saying is give thought a dance.

Spore Of The Words: Republished (2017) And Available For KIndle

Fly - Selected Poetry - Kindle Edition

'If you push that button, your ass gotta' go'

...what necessary force

to protect and serve

by pushing the big

button


those insecure

calling for more security

naturally "protect me

save me, oh mighty one,

say you'll keep us safe by

pushing the button'


we demand the three

minutes extra life

before we get hit back

on the rebound


equal with the nihilist

terrorist philosophy

'let's wipe em' all out

every last stinking one of em'

plus family and friends

wipe em' all off the map


Can you feel the flinch

of the people's trigger finger

quick to revenge slow to forgive

insecure shaved chimps

kicked through Primark

ready to push the button to

save Top Gear

'It's fucking end times

quick act' i hear em; scream

kill kill kill


It's not often that

a relatively honest bloke

becomes a politician, even

less often with a chance to

lead the country


I find myself

agreeing with the chorus

most of the time

'they're all the same,

they're all liars


But no

stop!

Corbyn seems honest

to me

smart, and a man who's

keep his word,

and experienced with world culture

knows how to make peace

through communication


He's a poet too

i ask, who was the last

Tory to have a conscience

capable of poetry?


'push the button'

what a wuss' they cheer

how about you pull the trigger

of a loaded gun pointed at an

infants face, or you're own

mother gets her throat cut and

head removed in front of you

and the infant?


the 'will you push the button'

metaphor for mass murder

typified the Tory fetish

for drama.


Cant be easy for a human

being with a soul still intact

to murder, that most sacrilegious act


and furthermore the passive

complacency of your

tacit support of arms deals

and not free school meals

makes me sick to my stomach


drone strikes and suicide

bombings are equally acts of

cowardice


what ever happened to

gentleman's combat

fencing, martial arts, chess?


from a relatively fair

hand to hand contest depending

on physical strength, skill

strategy and a sporting fair

play to pushing buttons and

literally swiping people off

the map


whatever happened to common decency?

since the gun and the bomb and

the nuclear chemical biological warfare

coupled with white washed language

of surgical strikes and precision bombing

the sickness

combat has become a cowards game

pushing buttons, like a modern DJ

no strings or skins or horns in sight

not trying to reason with words

or martial arts but

big powerful buttons that can kill

millions in one go

imagine the most brutal violent

scenes from a movie

with 1000's of warriors fighting

from a birds-eye view

can you imagine how many

shots stabs and slices it would take

to kill 500'000 men?

'push the button'

the new slogan of the insecure

the cowards who live in

fear of anybody not them


they would willingly cut off

their own nose to spite their

face

Globividual

...follow my flip-flopping thoughts on

the left leaning individualist

and the right leaning globalist

stereotype

do they meet in the best poems

epic, and including history

doesn't the tragic comedy

wear sandals?

how to unite the individualist anarchist

and the globalist points of view

the ambiguity and the stew

sometimes i want to repeat

what Robert Anton Wilson sez,

but i can't play that tune again

same beat

left/right freedom ambiguity

individual freedom left

global capitalist freedom right

state freedom left/right left/right

anarchist freedom - perpendicular to left/right

you dig?

a binary (divisive) question:

do you consider yourself an individualist

or a globalist?

and how would you reconcile the other?

glocal lobal? what is that?

well, the frontal lobes and the planetary globe

as one.

one what?

how to unify the individual and the state

is the hard question for poets

and should be one for all humans

to think about

the tale of the tribe:

the globalist and the individualist balanced

yes, i am for globalism

in the sense of shared planetary

resources (Buckminster Fuller Models)

opposed to the global

unrestricted finance capitalism (Morgan Stanley models)

globalism without a top dog and

bottom dog scenario

without screwing the pooch

a better planet of fairness and so

shared resources and tools

oh, the ambiguity stirs, i can feel it

and the individual:

the unity of self-owning ones

each human being a sovereign entity

an individual whole be-ing

a mind brain body nervous system

this is the individual i mean

you and your shadow, the id'

as one consciousness

not really one, but the perception of

one, that is you, dear reader,

i think, your own bitter soul

the globalist and the individual

or the individual vs. the state

are co-dependent features of

the realities we endure together

i still wrestle with right/left

stereotypes, up/down

in/out around again all without

gain of agency,

the ambiguity in a rose

i am for both the empowerment of

the individual and the potential

functions of an open society

or state, on a global scale, yes

interplanetary cannabis seed plans

are underway

first get it into your head

we must learn to allow for distance between

people too, not just reinstate

everybody together in a multi-cultural

melting pot

sticking apart has benefits and uses

and to tolerate the

differences in your neighbour

even at a distance,

knowing they are having more fun

we must Honor the different

game rules

and remain ever

vigilant of foul play and those who make

the rules and regulate the regulators

and so on...

the aim of the tale of the tribe

in a peanut shell is

unity of understanding,

shared meaning and the

preservation of

humanities greatest works

both globally and

locally, and here lie the beginnings

of epiphany and synchronicity

I'll leave that for another day

so we can learn new ways to

love and respect and Honor

cultural differences through

music painting and theatre

plus academic and scientific

discoveries are all multi-cultural

global effort

still, people have a right to live

apart and a further responsibility

to tolerate each others 

manias on our sphere

when shared these arts and tales

create a special unity

between people

unity understanding and with luck

a little compassion for the other

mono culture, on the other hand

enforced by censors and trolls

narrows the senses and

ignores the rest of collective

intelligence from around the entire

planet,

European, Indian, African, Asian

not just a love exclusively for

your own

genetic and blood relatives

and those around you

this is the great conceit of nations

the other great conceit is the conceit

of scholars

nationalism and patriotism

i agree, can have a positive force

when administered in equal

dose with globalism and

individualism,

as described write here

persistence of place:

you and your environment

merge

you and your friends

merge

i am you and you are me

and we are one together

one lobal glocal yokal gang

experiencing itself

what do you tune in when you turn on?

we are all in this together

entangled for eternity

tune into the others, dive in

Dead souls and living memory

Dead souls and living memory

The child of refugees

fleeing from Libya

and the chaos of Col.

Gaddafi's insanity.

Missed-educated and lost to

some strong social psychological

forces, a dying mind and dead soul

consumed by who knows what

sordid influences,

ideological dogmatic selfish

known to some authorities but

forgotten, lost, escaped into

the void of violence to make

a final statement on the death

of the soul

Reason, humanity, love,

forgiveness, strength did not reach

him in time

this young boy turned himself

into an ancient nightmare

a dead soul screaming death

a coward’s way out

the way of the unfeeling

unthinking idiot

to strike the innocent and

the young, and the vulnerable

in such a cowardly way

does not incite me to violence

i pity the death of a soul

and meditate on the victims

who's healthy souls were

snatched away from the body

sorrow, sadness and heartache

are a part of the process

let peace rain down and

may we educate and nurture

all the children, all the mothers

fathers, sons, daughters,

hatred is good for nothing

all i see are bombs

everywhere going off

shells and mortar

nails and bolts and hatred

packed inside ready to

explode all over some poor

bastard

you might think bombs would

be outlawed by now

but no, business is booming

in 2017

both foreign and domestically

bombs are big business

and the fear they bring is

music to the ears of the click

bait corporations,

also without soul,

without empathy and the ability

to think from another

point of view POV

and so multiple points of view

becomes a weapon in the fight

if you want to really fight,

write true

MPOV panorama flash

bang in the middle of the drama

full HD terror relentless

half truth, broken up by adverts

for soap, insurance, watches and

the latest Hollywood terror flick

change the channel,

no turn it off, get with yourself

your family and friends,

or gather your multiple thoughts.

turn it back on

don't let me or anybody else

tell you what to do

think for yourself

check the mail, the sun, the

ugly disinformation, terrible

mistakes, and weird

dull conspiracy, nothing new

everything old, recycled

same old age old war

over the ineffable

some might say

intelligence failure

this is always true

known to intelligence

are you

will you be

did you used to be

really

blown from coincidence

known to intelligence

what is

what will be

what isn't what should be

really, again, but surely

known to intelligence

but wait what of

the company the bureau

the agency who claim

such high general knowledge

are they too

known to intelligence?

are there too many suspects

too much noise

too many corporate profinterest

too many old boys?

known to intelligence

or willfully ignored

no trace just bodies

terror and little information

to keep the enemy unintelligent

a tactic

known to intelligence

little did he know

less did he show

nothing ditto

all election campaigning off

but we know who shouts

loudest and who the media like to

amplify and increase the range to

terrify, sly dogs of war

confrontation

narcissism and eternal lyric

of 'it is'

the isness' of idiots

unable to consider more

than a second

without a third or fourth way

blind to the others

drowning in certainty

no air to breathe

cause and effect

punish and reward

so fucking predictable,

what to blame outside

turn it off again,

and now back on

show me the terror

i need to see it,

now off, it's bedtime

the nightmares better

than the waking forces of

political media overkill

on repeat on repeat

death dying destruction

low information,

obscured, lies.

terror now a currency

a valuable force to get more

re-tweets and likes,

more views and more followers

the architect of misery, revenge

the reactionary uncontrolled

violent idiot

full of hatred and madness,

full of sadness

heal time heel
