Infested Investment het wordt moeilijk – I am really trying but things are getting increasingly difficult – This life is not the same anymore. We are not the same anymore – So many conflicting mentalities extreme emotional fatalities easily avoidable but regrettably welcome for some. Too many of us use free speech to accelerate brain freeze from forced ideas gleaned from social media spheres blinding our inherent fears to enable imported false veneers where dagger smiles replace acceptance of differences – All sorts of social issues still not accepted by weak masses fervently seeking elevated voices to influence modern choices – Our humanity regrettably infested – How are we to repair broken relations fuelled by ill-informed human investment? Who to trust who to believe what to believe from ideas ill-conceived? Vanity Inferno – Celebrity status leaving new generations in zombie stasis, marching aimlessly to seek out new faces fuelling their brittle spirits to alter their appearance – Happy to chemically inflate their lips filling themselves with toxic chemicals just to wipe away their mirror image contortions only they can see despite loved ones witnessing their true beauty – Sacrificial diets the new craze to mimic that feeling of achievement, A touch of fame to feel part of the fake image game enhanced by catwalk fashionistas strutting down street runways stomping to the beat of frenzied designers dressing their chosen stars becoming their willing mannequins walking yet another stained red carpet beamed across the global village as if other nations are in need of cultural makeovers, as primitive fodder not conforming to what is the norm, the fashion storm... Maelstrom City – Fading moral lines deepening the rot allowed to infect and neglect this human race. Anything goes, where pathetic lonely men decide to delete a wife a a partner, a mother, a father even their own children – Where world leaders dress up as lifetime dictators, where deadly substances annihilate whole generations, or fanatic so-called soldiers of faith stone maim even kill anyone who loves the same sex or change their sex, where women are spat at even attacked for daring to pray https://www.instagram.com/p/B0p4WlvBLge/?igshid=1i29awnyvbpti

Excerpt It took me a while to write to you I feel such a fool, trying to keep my cool but you left so suddenly maybe even willingly anyway, I am still surrounded by you staring at your coat so blue – I guess it’s true how much I miss you just the thought of you, your lingering notes floating around, laughter all around over steaming hot filter coffee, as you fill a willing void not even thinking about a possible loved one feeling destroyed – It was not intentional not even conventional but I feel so blue missing you, your soothing tone as you shared similar fears, missed chances broken dreams, even ruby red silent screams whilst smiling at neighborly parties, pretending to be what we were not oh I feel such a fool losing my controlled cool, opening up your embracing heart, our connection secret although some would gladly kill it – I could not help the occasional brush of skin, a soul so keen yet unseen but you knew me too, I will always remember you, the aura of you, your constant halo so blue, like the last layer of sky before heaven gently removes you from this accusatory earth, a necessary rebirth. The hardest thing for me was to see you off unwillingly but I know you will see me in the whisper of the wind, your eternal friend, it will never end – It’s just so unfair how we need to find a balance, avoid the inevitable challenge and drink from the peacemaking chalice – Your musky smell remains even though it left me in chains, only now and then tightening my blue veins as I smile once again at parties to forget loving rows after your forced exit – I know I’ve said it but don’t ever forget it, you are still an invisible part of me, it’s just so hard to play this emotional card – Daily reminded of blue as you left me echoes of you. © Don Beukes Now in South Africa!

'White Star' published in Spirit Fire Review June Issue (1 of 4) #debutphotographicpublication White Star Blazing aura encompassing Unknown vortex pulling expanding reaching - I'm floating wondering meandering contemplating as my essence yearn for a new existence my spiritual persistence my constant resistance to this life - its infested investment in all things material filling its pockets to the brim the material sting of a peculiar hungering for fame the human game - I'm done I'm gone I am here... © Don Beukes #micropoetry #DonBeukes #SpiritFireReview https://www.instagram.com/p/BzU19ceIAZ8/?igshid=k92un1t2re36
GLOMAG MAY 2019 Someone Knows My Name (Iemand Ken My Naam) Chrome Dreams – Each liquid drowning night I continue to descend into startling revelatory chrome dreams where even each step becomes heavier as I continue to search for existential necessary answers to my elected existence which I have had no control of, Yet find myself waking up to begin another new day everyday where my steps become new imprints in this earthly confluence of mankind and nature existing side by side – Both in steady decline despite renewed efforts to sustain, preserve, protect, renew or regenerate, so I walk the same as the rest, hoping someone will know my name or even offer a warm smile to know I exist... The Taste of Dust – Despite my expected joyful exterior I blame myself for my chosen moments of uncontrollable melancholy born from social even religious guilt grown from accusatory sour sermons spoken by appointment mouthpieces who themselves transfer their own fears onto willing ears, not realising how their fiery words maim, deplete and delete our self-worth despite the forgiveness of our earthly sins so instead of peaceful dreams I sometimes experience the taste of dust during my nightly dream sequence canvass, where my preferred colour palette drips into nothingness and once again I pray that someone will know my name – Empty Faces – I know I am still here but things have changed people have changed this world is changing and I wonder if I will ever see again the wonder of mankind even though some are not that kind – Daily lives depend on verbal daggers piercing our brittle existence in this age of progress where emotions are frowned upon and only trophies of wealth will do but who do we trust if acts of goodwill are dismissed or when we find ourselves in desperate situations and no one stretches out a helping hand? Empty faces show no graces revealing no stifled confessions but I hold my head high and soldier on through this sea of despair hoping someone will remember my name... ©Don Beukes Photo Credit © Marcel Herms #ekphrasticpoetry #donbeukes #marcelherms #glomag https://www.instagram.com/p/By4zihNo2qS/?igshid=s2twgmg732b4

The Parrot Brigade Yes No Maybe – We cannot deny that our very essence is entwined in our inability to openly disagree or come to any individual sentiment or decision that might remotely reveal our liberating yearning for a free mind to reflect our supposed inherited legacy but that would only reveal our unintended haphazard hypocrisy, which enable us to hide behind the fake urgency of our hastened history rewritten, moulded, adapted, retracted even altered – Fake Admiration – Yes sir no sir here sir I say sir, you are most welcome sir please try it on sir Of course sir right away sir I will immediately contact reception sir I will sort it out sir leave It all to me sir you can trust us sir please allow me more time sir so sorry sir I cannot think of Any reason why this should spoil your treasured long relationship with us sir – Please allow us to make it up to you sir...Sir? You forgot your hat and your cane sir, yes we will insure it for you sir Just sign here sir that's all we need sir we thank you for your sponsorship sir and we are here to Serve and satisfy you sir, just wave as you always do sir and someone will after you sir – This way madam I promise that you will look fabulous in this exclusive original design by the designer known as Exo, who knows you might even be chosen to reveal it in your very own catwalk floating on your moment to shine wine and dine until you get noticed, just you wait and see, who will scramble to gain your affection – There, there no need to be sad now Yes, I can enquire if you can be moved to your window seat for the flight home after your Meeting – I take it you still prefer authentic champagne in your dressing room? Internal Meltdown – You are asking what? Seriously, who do you think you are? Never has this establishment bent over this far to woo your brittle pathetic ego – Oh no, don't puff up those red cheeks to me I might just pop them with my Sowing needle. Me? Are you serious? Go ahead, complain all you want what do I care? “ Attention please, can cleaner A immediately proceed to isle four to Mrs Grimbleby with mopping up her spilled drink, that's cleaner A... ©Don Beukes https://www.instagram.com/p/Bxj1XkbhIa9/?igshid=mrq8ulileqmf
