another thefty in JFK airport

@chanmok


How dare they did that during my departure
In two thousand seven, twenty first September!
I put my valuables in their trays for check up
To take off my shoes I even had to bend over!

All my stuff passed their x-ray machine
Me too, walked through security gate!
I had to bend over again to put on shoes
A great chance for TSA man, to pick pocket!

I couldn't find my very valuable ring
Few thousand dollars, the price, the cost!
Homeland Security area, with cameras on
In high tech and glorious JFK Airport, I lost.

How come no sophistication of procedure
No arrangement to protect passengers property!
Science gifted governments with modern tech
But sad for poor condition of Homeland Security!

Emailed TSA, filled up their forms and filed
Demanded to run cameras to catch the thief!
Punish the scoundrel and clean the department
To not to breach trust, to not to steal or nip!

How dare they did that during my departure
On two thousand seven sixteen September!
I put my valuables in their trays for check up
To take off my shoes I even had to bend over!

fabrication of enemy images

@chanmok



How do they establish themselves
Do you know what do they do?
How do they play the game to win
To rule and control me and you?

Their first step is to secure them
Let believe that they are good guys!
Convince us to trust them, to follow them
Fabricate phantom enemy images of lies!

But hardly, enemy exists before guns
Even there is no enemy but them!
Another hostile power is needed to distort us
So, orchestrate phantom villain for own fame!

Putting fear and making us nervous
Declaring state of emergency, martial law!
Buy the sentiment of majority people
With patriotism, introduce their evil paw!

Such a cunning and deceptive system
Ongoing education, to cheat humanity!
All they do, play mind game to mesmerize
To clap, to praise their insanity as vanity!

How do they establish themselves
Do you know what do they do?
How do they play the game to win
To rule and control me and you?





nipping in the name of security check up

@chanmok


Dhaka Dubai London Montreal
Me and two pieces luggage were booked;
Dhaka Dubai London by Emirates Airlines
London to Montreal by Air Canada hooked!

Two days flight ended in Montreal
Collected my bags, both locked, no damage;
Couldn't believe their acts in name of security check
They profaned my rights, unlocked my baggage!

Disturbed my civil liberties in their excuse
Empowering the thieves to steal nicely;
Astonishing surprising for defiling our rights
Come-on, check in my presence, not immorally!

What's going on with you, check it out
Insanity! you are not doing things right!
You let your guys rob my property
It is not security, not justice, not polite!

This time, in your system they robbed
Too much they took , too much! it hurts
Almost twelve thousand dollars gold and goods
In your payroll such low lives, miscreants, dirts!

You call that security, I don't think so
Your way isn't working, it is lawlessness;
The drama in airports to sneak into our bags
Is an act of robbery and dirty business!

Dhaka Dubai London Montreal
Me and two pieces luggage were booked;
Dhaka Dubai London by Emirates Airlines
London to Montreal by Air Canada hooked!





disarmament

@chanmok


Can we demand disarmament
In each and every quarter a year;
To widely create a mass sentiment
Where we can reduce constant fear!

If every quarter of each year we rise
If demand remain as the main topic;
To think and prepare to care to stop
Not to boost sufferings to the peak!

Can we invent things to destabilize
To make them ineffective and useless;
Just tinny buttons to end destruction
Gun powder and all those explosives!

Scientists can take such tasks
Getting funding by Governments;
To make impossible to possible
To fix our wounds and those dents!

In digital era and in such a time
Let us aim, prepare and practice;
Stop each others death like dinosaurs
Disarmament is vital in arms race!

A finger click directs windows, Satellite
A button controls millions, wireless;
Only a button moves those missiles, bombs
Why can't a button be made for our bless!

Can we demand disarmament
In each and every quarter a year;
To widely create a mass sentiment
Where we can reduce constant fear!

Way Out

@chanmok

They all fell at the bottom
On the deep water floor!
That leaves only floating up
As, they can't fall any more!

No closed door or dead end
Or "stop" where no harbor!
Still alternatives and options
Save yourself as survivor!

Stand up, from where you fell
Why give up and get panic!
Fingers broken but use elbow
March on the feet and kick!

Don't listen that music
Of "no way! no way! no way!"
Yes, ways when door is closed
Open few windows, what you say!

They all fell at the bottom
On the deep water floor!
That leaves only floating up
As, they can't fall any more!
