The Transmutation, from Patriotism to Capitalism The Empire’s dead, the Empire lives, the borders now on ledgers; the flags removed, the anthems shunned for ditties, logos, branded fun. The Empire’s dead, the Empire thrives, to feed on promise to wasted lives. A.D.
A Floral Gift From Indecency manifest A screaming silence fills the dust-choked air As shocked countenance stares from one to the ether, The whispers held in hearts plead with Fate, its cruel design Distorting the innocent beauty inherent in those not here long, Or long enough, as ruptured tomorrows lie vacant and still. The terrifyingly […]
As calls for a border poll grow in strength in the Occupied Six Counties of Ireland, the reasons for the partition of the Irish nation are coming under close scrutiny like never before. Rebel Voice is taking a look at this catastrophic event as it approaches its centenary. Partition in Ireland, in 1922, was made […]
Recurring events within the Irish Occupied Six Counties (OSC) have, for me, served to prompt comparisons between the actions of authority figures within the education sector of said OSC, and those to be found in a similar position elsewhere in the world. One such example, which leaps immediately to mind, is that of the conduct […]
Mortal Prey by John Sandford John Sandford, real name, John Camp, is a Pulitzer prize-winning journalist. His media skill-set has transformed impressively into fiction (insert fake media joke here) and he is, to put it bluntly, a fucking literary great. Rebel Voice has, at this time, read quite a number of Sandford’s stories, and not one […]
Recently, as I was listening to the news segment on Today FM – an Irish Free State radio station owned by a rampant Capitalist – I noted a report upon the proposal that all Irish citizens are to be given the right to vote in Irish Presidential elections. This franchise is to be extended to […]
So the Irish Occupied Six Counties (OSC) elections are past. The conclusions are drawn and new strategies formulated, the parties working feverishly in putting their spin on the results. The DUP are the biggest losers. They are desperately attempting to hold it together in face of a damning reprimand from within Unionism now tired of […]
The Soul Collectors by Chris Mooney This book is one in a series – no.4 I think – and so I must caution readers that, as with most sequential tomes, it is preferable to start at the beginning to better appreciate the story. I didn’t do that, as I’m new to Chris Mooney and I’m […]
Anyone even remotely familiar with Palestine, and the imposition upon it known as Israel, can’t have failed to notice the rising incidence of conflict in various sectors of the public arena, all associated with the Zionist state. Across the US, for example, a war is raging between the ruthless, pro-Israeli machine, and those humanitarian groups […]
This piece of verse from resident poet, A.D. is formed in the Extract Poetry style. In this method, the verse is shaped to seem as if it is an excerpt taken from a larger piece of writing. The ellipsis is often used at the beginning, middle or end. Status Report … and the meek will […]
Paying Lip Service to Decency Superficial democracy, Specious freedoms, Packaged in materialism And wrapped in choking ribbons Of accumulating debt; Presented to a gullible populace Blinded by sinister concessions To the worst excesses Of the Human Condition. […]
The Free Market Without Food The Capitalist’s plump paws pinched his purse tightly as he looked at me, forlorn. I’m well-fed but hollow, he said, But I can’t stop what I am. And the greasy tears swept down His shiny bloated face And the insatiable desires gripped fiercely As he shuddered violently And shook […]
