Listen to a reading of “Lizzy’s Face”:

Lizzy’s face on the papers blowing in the wind
Lizzy’s face on the screens
Lizzy’s face on the street billboard
with a homeless man leaning against it.

Lizzy’s face on the Jumbotron
Lizzy’s face on the defense industry tweets
Lizzy’s face on the arrest warrants
for the criminals who said “Not my king.”

Lizzy’s face on our money
Lizzy’s face in my face
Lizzy’s face on an artillery shell
funded by the British taxpayer
and fired by a man wearing neo-Nazi insignia.

Lizzy’s face on the telly before it cuts out
because there’s no power
because it was either electricity or groceries.

Lizzy’s face on the food banks
Lizzy’s face on the price hikes
Lizzy’s face on the blankets shivering bodies cling to
when they can’t afford to heat their homes.

Lizzy’s face in their mind’s eye
Lizzy’s face in their prayers
Lizzy’s face in their nightmares
as they huddle close together for warmth.

Lizzy’s face on the news man’s face
on the politician’s face
on the banker’s face
on the billionaire’s face
on the warmaker’s face
on the empire’s face.

Lizzy’s face on the nuclear missiles
Lizzy’s face on the drums of war
Lizzy’s face on the melting permafrost
and the gasping oceans and the plastic in our blood.

Lizzy’s face in my chest like a nauseating lump
rising up through my throat and out into the toilet
spraying out my mouth and all over the bathroom
and all over the universe get that dead bitch the fuck out of us.

Puke Lizzy’s face out of our animal bodies
so we can run free like wildebeests hatching hearts and songbird throats
no longer frozen by the bank boys and bastards
and the grayness of the false world they painted in our minds.

Let our animal bodies remember our animal ways
and forget any context wherein Lizzy’s face everywhere made sense.

There are lovers who need loving
and a world that needs saving
and a whole lot of signs
that are in sore need of vandals.

  5. EU willing to intervene in Azerbaijan and Armenia historical conflict.
    It is similar to a homeless protesting alone in front of a T-Rex. Will the EU talk a way out of its own shame? When blizzards start hitting Europe I wanna see how will be the audience around the MSM theater.

  6. ur a hell of a poet, caitlin!

  7. St. Bartholomew’s Day Massacre, August 1572
    Bartholomew County is where I was born.
    Columbus is the name of the city where I was born, named after a well known mass murderer.
    Kind of Interesting to me, because up until the 14th Century, the people who would later become the Israelis used to keep their gold in the vaults of a Catholic Cathedral, but then there was a falling out over a theological question.

    For revenge one group promoted religious movements to challenge the Catholics, hardly that difficult to see why now, they used to lynch Catholics in and around the city where I was born, as the whole area, apparently, was a celebration of mass murder.

    As an example, Indianapolis about 50 miles away is a copper containing statute celebrating another mass murderer the name of whom I forget who lead a genocidal raid against a Confederation of Indigenous Peoples, who had united to protect their Liberties and Lives, which of course they quickly lost soon afterwards.

    Having been successful in the endeavor to wipe them off the face of the Earth the afore mentioned geographic entities became possible soon afterwards.

    And, basically, that’s what is behind the whole let one or two billion people starve and/or freeze to death thing is all about this year, and apparently, every year there after as well.

    It boils down to freewill, the argument being that as leaders of the faithful, in the best interests of the faithful, to protect their souls from having to go to hell should we, take away their freewill?

    What do you think? Without that splinter group that is now the City of London and Wall Street all of those other Christian faiths would probably never have been, and all those wars over faith that took more lives than the plague ever did would not have been lost.

  8. The wonderful grandmother was a murderer. All aristocrats are murderers. It is sad how many people worship wealth.

  9. The following from: Former British Colonies in Caribbean Consider Cutting Ties to the Monarchy (truthout.org-9/13/22-By Amy Goodman & Juan Gonzalez-Democracynow.org)

    Excerpt: The Caribbean at one point formed the heart of England’s first colonial empire in North America, with millions of enslaved Africans taken to the islands, where many were worked to death.

    The aforementioned excerpt is an example of why the United States evolved into the failed state it is today! You may ask yourself: Why can’t I be paid a livable wage? Why did (the fucking ruling-class) threaten to take my job from me if I didn’t take the killer-jab? Why do U.S. corporations perpetrate subterfuge and dastardly deeds against their own citizens? Why did the (2) perfidious parties (pubs/crats) author and sign NAFTA (without consulting with me (working-class) first?) Why do we have endless wars? Why don’t we fix our infrastructure (before it breaks?) Why can’t we discuss the topics of: Socialism or Communism, without being lambasted or labeled a “Russian asset”, or “Terrorist”, or some other disparaging term designed to shame, repress, or divide us? Well, why?

    Disinfectant Sunlight

    Personification of cruelty reflected on all the stolen priceless gems and other precious stones.
    The face reflected in the eyes of all the zillion ghosts of humans murdered and enslaved for hundreds of years of the worst genocides committed in the human history.

      2. Sex work has always been excellent legitimate work, did someone tell you different?

  11. I expect someone will greensceen a portrait of this snooty Thatcher clone over a nuclear mushroom cloud photo soon.

    As it should be. Maybe I’ll do it and post it on my website.

    1. Oh Lizz, not Liz. The new un-elected has one less Z. Forgive me, the future scares me more than the past.

  12. There once was a Queen.
    Dripping in gold and gems, tiara on top.
    A guise of benevolence, really serpentine.
    Royal retreat at Balmoral Castle, loyal subjects at pawnshop.
    Prince Andrew and Jeffery Epstein.
    Julian Assange at Her Majesty’s Belmarsh Prison.
    What a disgrace to the Queen.
    King Charles’ preposterous accession.
    BVI tax avoidance smokescreen.
    Royal ostentatious procession.
    Dungeons and truncated heads are obscene.
    Wakey-wakey Brit, it’s time for repossession!

  13. Lizzie’s face on the Club of Rome, the Loyal Orange Order, the Commitee of 300, the Council of 600, on Rio Tinto on BP, on Shell oil, the Royal Institute of International Affairs
    Heard American host a talk show
    Asking callers do they know?
    What does Queenie actually do?
    All said, they have no clue.
    Thanks Caitlin for restoring poetry to our eyes.

    1. There’s a nice street corner here in Chicago where you can make that much in one night.

  15. There’s a storm coming; it’s a face-off!

  16. I hear the Brits banned Putin from the funeral. I wonder if he would have gone anyway, knowing Liz Truss can’t wait to nuke him and would probably have snuck into his room at night to put ten megatons under his bed. Kinda like this:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gjo-lHXlp7k
    Or it might have ended in a fist fight. We’ll never know who would have won, given that Putin’s only records are with bears and judokas.
    More likely though, considering the weight difference, it would have been more like the encounter between Churchill and Lady Astor, with the latter saying: “Sir, if I was your wife, I would put poison in your tea” and the former replying: “Ma’am, if I was your husband, I would drink it”.
    Even though a sense of humour is not the most striking aspect of British politics these days – or any politics for that matter…
    I wonder if they’re gonna play that song at the service (Dizzy Miss Lizzy by John Lennon)…
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-QGw_GhqTxg
    After all, she decorated him, which made Col. Frederick Wagg send back twelve medals he had earned fighting in both World Wars with a note saying: “Decorating the Beatles has made a mockery of everything this country stands for”.
    And it’s true that since Haendel – who was German anyway -, his country had been better at killing people than at making music.
    Logically John Lennon sent his decoration back four years later for the opposite reason with a note saying: “Your Majesty, I am returning my MBE as a protest against Britain’s involvement in the Nigeria-Biafra thing, against our support of America in Vietnam and against ‘Cold Turkey’ slipping down the charts. With love. John Lennon of Bag”.
    It was his bagism, shaggism and heroinism period.
    If one wants to be objective though, it’s probably the same with decorations as with pleasure boats. There are two good moments: when you get them and when you get rid of them.
    In any case, it’s definitely poor PR to exhibit the portrait of a 96 year old at the four corners of the empire. They should have put a picture of Marilyn instead (preferably the one with the flying skirt) with the caption: “Fillin’ in for Lizzy”.
    Everybody would have been happy (except of course Col. Frederick Wagg who’s probably long dead)! Makes you wonder what those PR folks think about…

  17. Very stark and true, Caitlin.
    I saw her face once when I remote viewed her – saw her car stop and pick up (kidnap) a 10 year old boy from a remote road. Then I saw her at her house (paid for by the people), saw her coming out of the bathroom in her nightgown, her husband was in bed. She looked right at me, knowing what I had seen, and turned off the lights.
    .
    I’ve always wondered why the brits never threw her and her family out on the streets and reclaim their homes…but that would also beg the question, why have the americans put up with the abuse of their rulers and not tossed them out while reclaiming their sovereignty…

  18. The modern day criminals of largest stature are the banking elites: they rob everyone via issuing fiat currency, renting it, and using inflation.
    Instead of invading countries, they use the fiat money to buy up land everywhere they can, corrupting politicians to pass laws that favor them, and occasionally proxy wars.
    These folk distract us from their ongoing crime by Lizzy’s photos.

    1. Every time a new financial crisis happens, these gangsters in high places show their true colors: white collar criminals. Almost never anybody goes to prison for high crimes, only petty crime gets punished.

  19. Lizzy got India’s largest diamond by you know how – force.

    1. The Indian gov has been asking for its largest diamond to be returned for 70+ years. In response Lizzy cut a piece of it and wore it in her crown, the rest of it sits in the London museum, where they display stolen goods from other countries. Maybe Lizzy should have been served with a property recovery warrant and brought to small claims court with an upper limit of claims capped at 1 quadrillion

      1. So in Britain, they display their biggest crimes in the museum. How interesting! What a great example for kids.

      2. Museums are full of stolen stuff from long dead people. Now ancestors of those people want them back. People always think they have rights but in reality only those given to them. India has no right to the diamond because the owner of the diamond did not give them any. If they had a right to it, they would own it. Now how do they get that right. Take it by theft or force just as each of us have to do.

        1. Are you implying we have to steal our right to breathe? If so, from whom?

          1. Yes. You must fight for whatever you desire or learn to be satisfied with what others allow you to have.

            1. That’s one way of looking at it, but this belief is the material (3D) way, and it’s the way of fear, not love. The way of love is to understand that at any given moment there are limitless possibilities (quantum physics), and we have the power to *choose* a desired possibility.
              .
              It’s very difficult to change what has already manifested on the material plane. But it’s much better and easier to bring about change on the energetic plane, ie *prior* to manifestation. This is done at the level of thought with focused attention on what is desired rather than what is feared. In accomplishing this we see in action our divine power to co-create with Source energy. When we truly understand that we’re sovereign beings, the question of fighting for rights doesn’t arise because we live off of the purity principle of no harm to self or another in thought, word, and action. Try it, you’ll be amazed at how well it works and how peacedul it is. No fighting necessary, no caving in to anyone needed.
              .
              Btw, Jesus came to teach people the power of their own mind and consciousness, through lessons in quantum physics. Krishna did the same.

          2. Propaganda is others making you think that you are satisfied with whatever they allow you to have.

  20. Indian people are circulating a meme detailing from every country her royal jewels were stolen from.
    She is the biggest criminal of all and holds India’s largest diamond. Mass violence is the price she paid for it.

  21. Lol AI is blocking my comment here

    1. Incredible, let me reiterate, Lizzy is the biggest thief and murderer of all times.

  22. I have seen a meme posted by the Indians detailing every occupied country from which her royal jewels were stolen.
    She holds India’s largest diamond obtained by mass violence. This is how big of a criminal she was.
    At this point in history I think the new age thieves are using her photos to distract us from their massive fraud scheme of renting fiat money and robbing everybody via inflation. Then buying up the land everywhere they can, passing new laws that allow them to do so in more countires, and occasionally using proxy war for their new age land grab. How very enlightened of the finance elites. Every time we have a financial crisis they show their true color : white color criminals.

  23. Rather much undeniable proof that it was Israel who was behind the destruction of the world trade center, so of course today the website is essentially shut down with the message that the connection has timed out. No doubt poetry, at least for awhile, will be the only form of expression allowed and then not even that.

  24. Time to do away with ALL monarchies…ALL OF THEM!

    1. Is it really a monarchy if you let your own subjects freeze and starve to death on purpose? I’d call that a dictatorship.

    2. Yes, lets replace them with technocrats, billionaires, corporations, lobbyists and corrupt politicians. On the other hand a monarch does have some skin in the game so to speak unlike the rest.

  25. Priceless, dear writer beyond words and yet of them!

  26. Excellent photograph. You should tag it with a name.

  27. Let this be a ralying cry! Where is my spray paint?
