Laugh
maniacal
indescribable
facts undeniable
no tact
I'll try it though
words
are worth their weight in gold
so worthless if left untold
also worthless pronounced out loud
so renounce those old beliefs
surround yourself
with silence
rich and pliant
void of the deterrant
of words
and their meanings
just gleanings of fragments
of meanings left stagnant
language doesn't have it
reality
isn't sounds that we
interpret
and spew forth
like a rejected main course
the truth
goes without saying
or braying like an ass
so thank you
but I'll pass
besides
the tower can only get so big
before the inevitable collapse. |

Revolution (Votes: 0) (Wins: 0) [color=darkred]Whats the deal?
Could all this be real?
What I see hear and feel
Is more... Whats the deal?
Could all this be real?
What I see hear and feel
Is more like frames on a wheel than reality but still
I've got to focus and bend every fiber of my will?
Towards maintaining this body or accumulating cheap thrill?
WTF? FTW!
This shit's makin me hurl
But why not give it a whirl
I could even go find a girl
Make a kid, even plural, spread my genes thru the world
Leave a legacy as lasting as my judgement is thorough?
Then chill in the afterlife watching each frame get unfurled?
Haha yeah right
Do you think I just might
Lead a politically correct life
Cause it's accepted as right
By all these ignorant white men who controll america's plight
Using our collective resources to go overseas and fight
With people who have no choice but painful death, not even flight
No way fuck all that
I'll grab a knife and a gat
Make all you stay where you're at
So I can trim society's fat
If it's not busted ASAP our arteries just might snap
From being clogged with corruption, seduction and crap
And democracy makes it our fault, if anything, remember that. |

One more moment, yesss I made it, paid that large rent, stayed un-sedated, kept my sanity, but it's over-rated, cut down on profanity, and what it's equated to, didn't get run through, was sad but not blue, to others I stayed true, to myself I made do, I'm working on that one, on who I should be, trying to have some fun, oh so carefully, I admit it hurts don't it?, but now I can see, If I can make this next moment, then I'd be home free
"A brief, indefinite interval of time", , , a space for me to create my rhyme, , a place for me to succeed or resign, a race that has no beginning or end is not straight does not bend can not break never mends to a grave you it sends, given enough time, , much better to percieve its intended design, , , |

Crypto-diction (Votes: 0) (Wins: 0) [color=darkred]You ask me "hows it going"
but you dont wanna hear the answer
it... You ask me "hows it going"
but you dont wanna hear the answer
it doesn't matter
fact or fiction
whichever I
decide to reply with
"alright" I sigh
as I'm wondering why
your first question meant "hi"
and we speak to kill time
or silence take your pick
as you reach to light your ciggarette
I know the feeling
I can see it on your face
we're not here to talk
just smoking in the same place
That's when the time starts
I've got 8 minutes and counting
to give meaning to this conversation
an eloquent show of smarts?
something comically resounding?
like I'm weening some baby relation?
all the friends that I have
definately were not grabbed
by some witty remark or observation
so although it is sad
the friendship we could've had
I'm afraid is not in our destination
I'll ground my ash and then mash
hoping I might have passed
any requirements you may have
for future crossings of our paths
however, unfortunately, I just can't name you friend
because to me the beginning coincides with the end
having to have your approval is something I cant stand
nor is failing to listen, by waiting to talk instead |

To Whom It May Concern (Votes: 0) (Wins: 0) [color=darkred]When it becomes, My time to die
I do not think, That I will cry
Or whine... When it becomes, My time to die
I do not think, That I will cry
Or whine or snivel or complain
Consider it an end to pain
Why would I last, From year to year
Without the shedding, Of one tear
Through all the bullshit heartache stress
And then lose face let pride digress
I won’t go out
Kicking and screaming
Ticking and steaming
Or fishing for grieving
And wishing for leaving
This life, that’s right, I’m not suicidal
I’ll fight, my plight, Through waves even tidal
And as thought sound and sight, Become diminished
I’ll prolong the fight, I’ll never be finished
Until I find that light, To fill all the darkness
I’ll spark this and blaze
And through all the haze
I’ll watch all these days
Go by like a maze
And wish that our ways
Were a childish phase
Not acceptable craze
But delectable taste
Of this life which we collectively waste expectantly race toward mental defacement then placement in hell try to quell the madness end up in a cell if you fell down a well filled with sadness you’d have this feeling of reeling in disgust and knowing you must go on with no one to trust nowhere to belong no care to hold on to knowing they’ve got the wrong dude
To head up the state
And play childish games
With humanities fate
All these selfish lames
Yes each and every one of you
Deserve to be run through
What are we supposed to do?
Trust you to change all your strange ways your deranged plays your stage names your false fames your bought frames your all the same its insane I can’t explain your free reign on free minds during free times these rhymes are your only resistance my insistence that in this instance fence and tower hence your power aren’t the answer in fact are cancer so take a chance or hold your stance eat up implants of fiction diction false information striation filled with corruption just a variation of mind abduction brain infucktion Bitch, fuck you. |

Composition (Votes: 0) (Wins: 0) [color=darkred]My Composition; Just keeps on switchin
Between rags and riches; Open wounds... My Composition; Just keeps on switchin
Between rags and riches; Open wounds and stitches
My happiness is invented; My sanity is just rented
Or better yet, leased, at least; I’m clever not , weak, don’t tweak
Contented with, weed, don’t need; Nothing else but Love and wealth
I swear, my try is up on a shelf; Could care, less about my health
I wear, a cloak made up of stealth; Your stare, slides over drunk or sober
Discover another brother blendin in now its over
Escape all comprehension there goes som others
By the time they notice I’ll know this they'll miss
My elusive unobtrusive flawless
Form I’ll storm out
Born forlorn mind torn up
I’ll sell my porn but by morning
I’ll just wanna scream and shout about
Invisibility killin me; My ability to be seen’s
Got me acting like a machine; Almost too much, to believe
I grieve my loss too much; Smoke weed get tossed and such
Choke heave eyes glossed legs crutched; Can’t take it I’ve had enough.
The machine is life its product is strife mixed in with a little pleasure
and though its rough your expected to be tough to keep up by any measure
yes it sucks we’re fuk’n slaves to the buck its always okay to vent
but you need to be aware that too much you can care stay wary lest your energies be spent
on rants and raves about being a tired wage slave its possible to get yourself down
and although not your intent its hard to prevent an unraveling of the mind amidst the revolution’s sounds.
Rants and raves, make only small waves, if we’re to stop being slaves, we need to stop being told, just how to behave, before we grow too old, to allow ourselves change, we must rearrange, the traditions we hold, that constrict our range of thought, keep us from realizing, our services sold and bought, with regard only to collective resources, and none given to collective thought.
These raves and rants, define my stance, to those who decide, to eat up implants, of fiction diction, then stride like ants, toward fruitless destruction, I won’t I can’t, be led, this I’ve said, but more importantly this is, what’s contained in my head, and if these ideas I try to spread, by the things I have said, maybe there are those who agree, but stand quietly instead, of trying to correct, this massive disrespect, we’ve come to expect, from these crooks that have the gall, to claim “serve and protect”
Heres the problem, “ to stop being told… “ is something over which we have no control. Those in charge already have a hold regardless of what is said by the aware and the bold. Like parents without a blood relation they rule unchallenged over every situation. To challenge equals punishment, left alone to stagnation and thoughts of what could have been during somber contemplation. Now that is the fact be it wrong or right so its no small task to try and fight which leaves revolutionary ideas passed only by word of mouth out in the cold when the enemy your trying to route is so large and surrounded by so much ignorance. The key’s the masses who currently prance around to anothers whim. Puppets told how to dance. You must snatch them without catching a puppeteers glance else you’ll be shot down before you even have a chance to act out any other plans.
I think I know where the real problem lies
What makes revolution hardly worth a try
The masses are contented to squat in their sties
Marionette is the one trade they think they can ply
Fated to believe all the puppeteers lies
Till the day they expire and lay down and die.
Apparently their cooperation cannot be attained
By making our grievances thoroughly explained
Inherently controlled are the allies to be gained
But I’ll not take the strings and have my dignity stained
Besides people are not like weapons to be aimed
Without the strings fully cut we’ll be brutally maimed.
Fight fire with fire:
Watch the fire get brighter,
Don’t bother to tire
Yourself with myths long expired
The ally we need
Is a United States choir
That despite all the greed
Will never be hired
But will sing our discomfort so loud they must heed us
And sing it so true that they’re forced to believe us
Convinced, they will have no choice but to retrieve us
From the blasphemous mechanical form of life that precedes us.
So long ago we wrote this shit and so much more. What came of it? Trodden upon by those with no wits, or wits enough, not used, dismissed. On and on we write anyway. You're right we can not kill it. And those who go on every day dismayed may one day feel it. If at least they took the time to hear through the rhymes of yours and mine. And if not, if these words rot, at least we took the time. When judgment comes from anyone we'll know we tried to spread the word.
Absurd of us to think they might listen without bombs and tanks to back up admonition it's too wrong to wield fate like a blood thirsty weapon but go on and just wait and the future I'm guessing will be full of some Ghandi like mutha fuckas, and rage like me to teach those bitches a lesson.
(note: I didn't write all that, just the first third fifth and seventh paragraphs, the rest can be attributed to poetic genius Scott Cummings) |

I’ll set My course On bearing That’s pure
I’ll... Today I’ll say And do This for sure
I’ll set My course On bearing That’s pure
I’ll travel With God As my mentor And steward
By satan I’ll never Be tripped up Or lured
Off course Of course His bidding I’ll not do or
At least I will try To make grievances Fewer
Today I’ll do And say These things
I’ll try To make Sure that Truth rings
Cuz lies Cause cries Of remorse To spring
From a mind That would rather Let truth Take wing
And guide me Toward whatever Effect Truth may bring
Be it good Bad or worse I will let The truth sing
Today I’ll take A moment To reflect
On friendships That I’ve been forced To no longer Expect
To be actively Involved in My Love And respect
Goes out To all of you May God shelter you And protect
What little You have left After the law Has bereft
You of freedom Please God Make alternatives To this theft
Today I’ll make This statement A fact
Fifty pushups And situps To make quite An impact
On my health So as not To ever let It distract
Me from matters Of importance I seem always To have stacked
And when my body Gives out Structure’s weakened And cracked
I’ll do my damndest To keep My mind wholly Intact
Today I’ll leave Past regrets Far behind
I’ll look forward To today Keep a wide Open mind
To the friends That surround me I’ll be helpful And kind
Any enemies Around me Will see tension Unwind
There is nothing Worth fighting for Without first At least trying
To match wits Find solutions With patience And time
Today I will lead But only By example
Although most Minds are free There are those That leave ample
Opportunity For scrutiny Some may copy Or sample
My beliefs My behaviors Whether evil Or just
One will learn What one sees So it appears That I must
Play at teacher Cuz this responsibility To everyone We entrust |

Recurring Moment (Votes: 0) (Wins: 0) [color=darkred]Spite’s, got me wanting to fight.
Rage, makes me quicker to age.
It’s... Spite’s, got me wanting to fight.
Rage, makes me quicker to age.
It’s wrong, this hatred just does not belong.
I’m good, why do I see nothing but blood
Why is self assurance just never enough
Why do words hurt me why not call it bluff
Is it human nature, do they wanna get roughed up?
Fucked up
Beat down
The smell
The sound
Like hell
Abound
The swell of bodies packed tight all around
The face of an ally nowhere to be found
The race to become less beat up more renown
Or at least stay alive, catch em on the rebound
Make sure that your body stay’s structurally sound
The damage to your mind there is no way around
Adrenaline like amphetamine
Vision’s red roar’s too loud
Forget all regret
For now remain proud
Stay up don’t go down
Pool of flesh just don’t drown
Prove to yourself you’re alive
As long as you survive. . . |

Alone (Votes: 0) (Wins: 0) [color=darkred]I stand tall,while my little world,crashes down,onto my shoulders
I Refuse... I stand tall,while my little world,crashes down,onto my shoulders
I Refuse to fall,I choose to whirl,sidestep around,the biggest boulders
So enthralled,as scenes unfurl,then are drowned,in chaos colder
Than the pall,drawn across my soul,as this losing battle,just gets older
I hit a wall,a dam to hold,my senseless prattle,from becoming bolder
Can’t think at all,what can be told to you,to fuse us together,like solder
I try to stall,to keep your hate for me,from exploding,and getting hotter
All I can manage,is useless riddles,and eyes like windows,into slaughter
And from my vantage,I scan the heavens,dodging blows,like raining water
Failing to see,the danger on the ground,as my footing,grows ever harder
And it’s just,me no one will stick around,to watch one way,as I watch another
So I deftly stumble,towards certain death, whom I choose to greet,like a long lost brother. |

The Method To My Madness (Votes: 0) (Wins: 0) [color=darkred]As I ride
The wave of this tide
That is life
Too much strife
I am bound... As I ride
The wave of this tide
That is life
Too much strife
I am bound to collide
But my will's on my side
Undefeatable pride
Keeps me hangin from cliffs
Over bottomless rifts
And the height is denied
The danger defied
I havn't yet cried
Over wack situations
Or my life's lowly station
I am forced to abide
By these trades I have plied
Just in order to survive
This lack of emotion
Its a sick twisted potion
That I'll have to imbibe
Just to keep myself alive
And why don't I cry?
Unexplainable laughter
This shit keeps comin faster
But it keeps my cheeks dry
I don't even wonder why
My maniacal cry
Is disconcerting
They must be learning
That my brain has been fried
I know this method's been tried
I'll end up on the wrong side
Of madness
I'll have this
I'll face it
Embrace it
And when it comes down to
The choice that its bound to
I'll choose laughter
It's what I'm after
The Madness
Keeps the Sadness
At bay
And when they say
That "He's cracked"
"He's going crazy"
"His mind just got hazy"
Thats when laughter
Will escape me
I'll be found
With that sound
That will proclaim
That I'm no longer sane
Which is preferable
To the alternative
Cause although I am durable
I just couldn't live
With the tears
That the years
Are bound to bring
So instead
My laughter will ring
Until I'm dead. |

Crazy, Insane, Ferocious, Untamed, Clean cut, Travel stained, Not learned, Ingrained,
aaaaaaaaagghhhh *burst*
pant, heave, choke, grieve, hope, leave, halved?, COMPLETE!
aaaaaaaaaaaggghhhhh *burst*
(Clarity)
Laugh, Cry?, Never, Die?, Of course, I know this will be my downfall
But Remorse, is something I do not recall
Attaching to something so sacred so pure
So true it endures through and through
Life is Cured, by its wretched deceitful embrace
Life for Sure, is shown only through this on my face
I am nothing, meaningless, insignificant without it
I am saddened, ecstatic, and stubborn about it
I won't bend I might break
It's so real words are fake
But credibility at stake
Just pales in comparison to the import of the feeling not the words or the thought just the Calm and Appealing and Wrong then Revealing the Right that is Surfaced by Irrationality's Worthlessness as a Vice plus the Nice and the Great and the Price one must Pay and even Rage or Hate that is Born of this Beauty are just Gold and Diamonds it's Rudely Apparent Inherent
In every small piece of MY world
That untouched by Love is just. . .
(Digression)
Cold, Ruthless, priceless, Worthless, bold, prominent, profound, LIFELESS

And I’ll have to defy
All... If I don’t want to lie
Than I can’t ever cry
And I’ll have to defy
All logic, sense, you luck and time
And Love only Kat for the rest of my life
I can never show weakness, regret, or feel pain
I can’t even belong to this society we’re in
I can never conform, be subdued, or restrained
But isn’t this just, another form of restraint?
A much stronger form, created in my own brain?
But I have to Love paradox, and enjoy all the strain

Secret (Votes: 0) (Wins: 0) [color=darkred]I am just like you
Although you frown too much
And down to much drink
Until... I am just like you
Although you frown too much
And down to much drink
Until you drown in your sorrows
Then you sit and think
And nothing's in your mind
It's blank
And straight thru everone
You stare
That smile pasted on your face
It's a disconcerting place to be
When they look into your eyes
They see only hate
No lies
Not fake
No cries for help
Like what's behind em
But crazy rage
About to errupt
It's as if at any moment
Violence is possible
To your eyes
Nothing is plausible
It's there
That's why those people can't stand your stare
And why some of them wont even dare
To stay in your presence or to even care
If you're right on the edge or not
Some would probably push you over
Given the chance
So correct your stance. . . . . . . . . that simple. |

Extra Terrestrials (Votes: 0) (Wins: 0) [color=darkred]Fly away
At least try to escape
Before it gets too late
Up and run
If... Fly away
At least try to escape
Before it gets too late
Up and run
If you can't get airborne
You've got to do something they're coming
And they wont show any mercy or leniency
They've grievance and you'll see
There is no coming back from hate like that
Vengeance is the only option
Don't you see it in their faces each one races
To wreak their own personal havoc
On we who have kept them in the dark for so long
Gone are the days that the masses belonged
To the piteous likes of us
How did we not see it coming?
We're running now
Cause we failed to see
That the yoke was not harnessed
Oh so perfectly
As we might have guessed and guess we did
What else could we do?
They are not like us
They are. . .
Well. . .
Like you. . . |

On a crusade it's... Wild aint it?. . .
Can't fade it. . .
Under-rated. . .
On a crusade it's purpose is unmake this world we've created watch it unravel travel through remains with the disdain that I've paraded, sunny or rainin, rich or poor sickness or health it doesn't matter I'd still shatter thought belief tradition anything that stands between completion of my mission, it's too bad I'm stuck here sittin wishin I had a fraction of the power my foes posess, one thing I know is I would stretch it further more efficient than the waste of an entire race of thoughtless cattle useless prattle this I know but what I’ve got to show you is that if you believed it too it wouldn’t be so useless. In fact, it would be the first step towards fixing this piece of shit world we live in. Who can contest the fact that something is horribly wrong with the way of humanity?. Alright, who besides the parasites who sit fat and happy on top of the masses, or the few who through hard work, luck, or most likely ruthless ambition rise through the ranks? The third world bottom feeders know it. The people who have died for the so-called greater good know it. Sheeeit, I know it, and I’m just a somewhat comfortable resident of the good ol U.S. of A. Why don’t you?, Fucker. You useless waste of human flesh with a thought process wire mesh just like a hard drive 1 or 0 wtf happened to the rest? you KNOW they’re there check out the stare stuck on my face that one’s for you you see the glare? you see the hate in my eyes? can you even fathom the fact that it'll be there til I die? or maybe just til you consider giving it one try if not I hope you die sooner than later, it’s simple fractions. All we need is more than very few. How hard is that? As hard as you lemmings make it, little tricks. Don’t breed, I implore you. You have no right to taint future bloodlines that may have the ability to act for themselves with your cowardice. |

Everything that you believe must... I want you to think of what matters to you
Everything that you believe must be true
Now please remember the good times you've had
And compare them to everything that's ever made you sad
You should notice the difference it's downright prolific
The minor detail that caused you to fail
At the widespread endeavor of just being content
All some people need is good food and paid rent
So your qualifications for happiness are what you should've got
There's only one more step so don't lose that thought
I'd like you to take those requirements you created
And destroy them
Constantly struggling against yourself is too far over rated |

Trapped (Votes: 0) (Wins: 0) [color=darkred]I'm feeling poetic
But what I've heard from professionals
Is that what my... I'm feeling poetic
But what I've heard from professionals
Is that what my mind deems poetry
Is "teen angst" "just pathetic"
"It shouldn't be PURELY self expressional"
I really don't sweat it but what bothers me awfully
Is that that last guy was from a poetics mag, and HE does the editing!
Apparently if a poem were to resemble a house
The walls roof doors windows are not what it's about
Nor is the furnishing decoration or imagery
What you're SUPPOSED to speak on is what's in between
Not the nails or caulking asbestos or electrical
Come to think of it not anything, nothing at all
Now that IS poetic, wouldn't you agree
Kinda, but what that method sounds like to me
Is to write about absolutely nothing
Needless to say, I prolly wont get published
The vaguer the better sounds a little too farfetched
Unless. . . well, why not give it a try
The star lived in the universe
It's only responsibility to shine
The workings of the cosmos
By this star are not defined
The star was born
The star burned brightly
So perfectly it fit, the overall design
But millions lived or died
For the stars cold indifference
It belonged, it went on
Impervious to interference
After time it became known to me
The star is influenced only in my mind
It simply exists, as everything else, in kind
The limits imposed by the star's presence
I did not find too constricting
After ages
My agenda was no longer conflicting
A healthy medium I had found
At least that is what I thought
I had forgotten the fact that the star's will would not bend
From the very beginning, bent on lasting through the end
Resigned I became, without resignation, or comprehension
That is what I have become
Everyone and everything
A free willed automaton
Awaiting the day
For someone
Something
Please. . .
Waiting for the star to outlive itself
Is unnacceptable I fear
For the fate of the star, is the fate I was dealt, a fate I can't steer |

Newsflash (Votes: 0) (Wins: 0) [color=darkred]"Another day another dollar"
FUCK THAT SHIT ya feel me holla
If... "Another day another dollar"
FUCK THAT SHIT ya feel me holla
If you're sick of bustin the same ol crap
For some nonsense legal tender scrap
Then join the ranks, just bombs and tanks, that's all we have to fight against, we'll prolly only end up fenced around, towers looking down, with snipers renown, for blasting anything and everything that didn't get down on the ground, when they were told to
Wtf? do they have a problem following direction?
Well they've been building up years and years of pent up aggression
And they can only rub one out when they get an erection
They have to bend over and cough daily for anal inspection
Not to mention being trapped, bunked with desease and infection
?And this is the way to perpetuate society's perfection?
NEWS FLASH LADIES AND GENTS
Does the end justify the means?
Especially when the end is as bad as the means seems to be?
And either one is derived from what you saw on TV?
HAHAHA "BLABLABLA" from the box of idiocy?
Is where you get the opinions you hold so dearly?
And don't think for one second that I've got it any better
Sheeit if HILLARY CLINTON wanted info would they let her?
Maybe, but what about every regular joe?
He's gotta vote (oh boy) and base it on some wack TV show?
And yes, the so called "News flash" might as well be a sitcom
You've just read the realest one,
Written by yours truly,

Content to act as I so choose to play the game and win or lose until the day I make the rules to wrest the reins away from fools who think we are nothing but tools to dominate the world our primary use scared into submission by ten-o-clock news with airplanes explosions and half dressed dune coons come on now do they really look that intimidating? how bout a survey what's the scare tactic rating of the marines and the airforce the army and navy the millions of cattle that go through combat training the billion more lemmings just sitting there waiting to get drafted and become ruthless killers awaiting the orders of our fearless commander in chief "bring it on" while we proceed to thieve anything that the united states may need to stay on top of the world and do it in the name of peace and if you think how we do it is wrong just look at the past you KNOW we'll drop the bomb as if ICBMs were not bad enough how bout radiation incineration and all that good stuff I don't get it does that make me a hippy treehugger? I'd like to think of it as not a fighter but a Lover but don't get it in your head that I don't know how to fight I'LL BEAT YOU TO A BLOODY PULP I'LL CHOKE YOUR ASS OUT TILL YOUR HEAD'S NOT ATTACHED THEN SHIT DOWN YOUR NECK GRAB TWO BOLTS AND A LENGTH OF FISHING LINE revive you and sit there in awe as it becomes apparent that human feces is what you are made of anyway, composed of waste, just like my huge waste of time and effort. . . ahhhhhhhhhhhhh, frustration is beautiful, is it not? Shit or get off the pot. Why you gonna vote? Instead find a senator and then slit his throat. Hmmmm, is 535 horribly painful deaths, worth God given life to be granted to the rest? No I haven't forgotten George dubbya. I think he should live in the bottom of a huge communal public toilet. Viewing my redeye is quite merciful compared to my red-rimmed pain filled gaze. And FUCK goofball Kerry! I'll vote for him as the better of two evils. |

Your Majesty (Votes: 0) (Wins: 0) [color=darkred]Majestic like the sky at night
Without city light
With the stars shining bright
And... Majestic like the sky at night
Without city light
With the stars shining bright
And the workings of the cosmos alight on the sight
Majestic like the ocean's boundless depth
And countless life
And death combined just right
With all intrusion & pollution aside
Majestic like a mountain that might
Become a flight
Of stairs ever upward
No comparison just one word
Majestic like a moment shared
With one who cares and wouldn't dare
Detract from the majesty
Or sit back while travesty strikes
Majestic like corrective lenses
Horrendous amounts of friends
And any hand that extends
Any offer or making of amends
Or the same from a gaze
Or a smile
Or a phase of the moon
That may light your way
Or eloquent word play
From the voice of another
Or a choice that does not require
A weighing of options
Cause’ both are equally awesome
Or ridiculous laughter at nothing
Or fast or quick or dangerous
Or time slipping by
Or time stretching out
Or nothing about which to think
Or backward speaking
Or sideways thinking
Or living happily
Or fight or flee
Or honesty
Or unity
Or you
Or me |

Politely step aside
I just might have to end your life
out of the way
don’t try to say your piece
you piece of refuse
I refuse to hear it
or be anywhere near it
I fear it must stop
just drop it
it’s nonsense
nonsensical pretense
reprehensible
context able to be removed, this will prove
am I right?
Like an equation
each word raising questions
stated down the line
in time to be revealed
concealed
augmented
but logically perfected
to conform with some meaning
like the “reform!” I’ve been screaming
silently thinking
my thought is redeeming
but quite ineffective
although far more reflective
than mirrors
this is nearer to the truth
about me
than you’ll ever see
for as long as we live
so ridiculously inconspicuous
suspiciously vicious
inflicting conflict
restricting profit
by resisting laws that promote free living
while succumbing to laws that endorse bondage
and require indifference
existence ignored
implored to be noticed
not passed off as insignificant
forced to pay rent
then dead with no lament
sounds to me
like used and abused
to the terminologys fullest extent. . . . .
Tranquility
is beyond my ability at this point
I'm shakin'
NO, I'm quakin'
about to explode
NO, implode
but I doubt that the outcome will differ too much
I'm still stuck on this path
out of luck
full of wrath
indestructible has taken on wholly new meaning;
for my soul to stop screaming
so I wont be careening towards life that is certain death
but worse
I can taste it
but not when I'm wasted
that road holds nothing
but becoming exhausted
always running
no solving the problems revolving
around my crowning glory of an insignificant life
hear my story rebounding
on walls padded white
in my mind
where I've trapped them
considered insane
so much so I'll never articulate plain
what's entailed
derailed is my train of thought
what I've bought is a ticket to paradise lost
where the dice when they're rolled
always end up costing me
everything
remembering
that the choice to play was yours
then regret will course
through every vein
every artery
in pain
I ask why do we
subject ourselves to such punishment
objective analysis shows
that it doesn't vent
it just collects
until I least expect it, then. . . . .
It consumes me
I break down
it resumes me
I'm fake now
just a passenger
not a driver
made of anger
with no hope for
control
or even retained dignity
bi-polar
with the convenience
of a lock and a key
there is one catch
I have a new enemy
he goes by the infinitely fitting name
of "me"
within finality he resides
hides
then returns like the tides
like clockwork
I know once I'm off work
(another problem entirely)
we'll go at it again
rounds one, two, and three
that’s all it takes
for me to be knocked out
too much weight
the back breaks
is what it's always been all about
there's no doubt
prediction is all too possible
plausible
like credit
charge or charge
big or large
for your tragedy today sir
if you've any complaints
you can write them on paper
'cause nobody cares
the oldest trend in humanity
cold eyes
blank stares
ignoring all calamity
regardless of how big
or how wrong
or how crucial
hey at least we've got . . .
wigs . . .
pokemon . . .
toaster strudel . . .
but it's no longer enough
for the primitive likes of me
I don't want to be corrupt
for the sake of commodity
to each his own
respectively
but why is mine not enough
and none stand next to me? |

I must have been late at work, about to close up shop, I must have rested my eyes for a sec, because of the meeting, like a demented twelve steps to fragmentation, I don't recognize anyone, I don't know what the fuck they are talking about, I don't know why some are stark naked, I don't know why they ignore me, wait, they are talking about me as if I weren't there, deciding my fate?, I should never have spoken up, all eyes are now upon me, I ask them where'd they get the key, how long they've been using my place of work for their meetings, authorization?, haha, I should have noticed the eyes as they herded me towards the door, silently, if I wasn't so very busy wondering why they were there, I might have noticed that they were very busy wondering why I was there, being outnumbered I fled, slowly, closing the door in front of me, then turning to face my mind in all its complexity, all its glory, none of its insignificance, my minds eye flees, up and away, then I notice my body left behind, twirling this way then that, searching for a way through the maze of geometry and motion, each movement designed to destroy me, like a runaway rolling ferris wheel, I return to my beloved carriage, then start down the path, a deranged form of roller coaster waiting area, complimented by banister traveling blunt tipped lances, my lances, the first shatters like shards of wooden glass beneath my fist, the second rolls to a stop harmlessly within my reach, a patch of grass appears at my will as I plant the lance into it and vault from the treacherous terrace, down, down, onto further platforms of my mind, my lance cracks and breaks in mid-air, strange, only my will is at work?, I land lightly, I turn just in time to see, a monstrosity of mortarless cylindrical tower, topped with conical red shingles, and a flag, a red flag without symbol of any kind, as it arcs through the red sea that is the sky, and crashes onto the maze of decorative aisles and banisters where I'd stood not a moment before, why did I do that?, before the shock of tons of rock reaches my feet I leave, to the waking world, to a reality that does not, can not, will not compare.
Oh no, this has happened to me before, I recognize these people, although they look quite different, especially as so many corpses littering the floor, There is still an equal mix of genders, features, tho all are clothed, although there aren't quite as many, I know I've been here before, but definitely not with the awareness, the knowlegde that they are all me, draped so careless on the floor, a floor that can't be seen, walls that are just faded memory, if walls there were at all, who knows?, one body silently demands my attention, without movement, only the promise of it, why?, the last I'd seen them they tried to enact my demise, so why should this one I try to revive, perhaps he is one of the casualties of that first introduction, I reverse the unknown tragedy that had befallen him, with frightening results, I rewind the death throes, the spasms, so puppet like, a marrionette of my mind, the terror is unfathomable, it's too late to stop but not to try, my thought should obliterate him, regardless of the intelligence in his eyes, but he knows, he's fully upright now, with the grace of a cat, no longer a puppet squirming woodenly, my grace, it is a wonder he does not have my face, he certainly has my gaze, the standoff that ensues is all the things legends are made of, without all the things, only the feelings, he must have won, the battle of the mind, his triumph is the only logical reason for the sheer terror that follows, in his infinite compassion, my infinite compassion, he takes only my mind, my heart he allows to stay mine, it is locked down too tight he explains, beyond his power?, beyond my power?, this makes perfect sense if only for a few seconds, perhaps I escaped, perhaps I was released, the waking moments afterwards hold no solace, the moments terrifying like those of a child driven wild by the dark with only the thought of what is hidden from view to accompany the fear, with further sleep near, my back turned to God, I choke on the reality of it all, more real than. . . than reality. |

I wait
irate with rage
untamed, but caged
within a maze
of sight and sound
and thought renown
for lucid words
elusive meaning
cattle herds
with obtuse thinking
cows that care
only for preening
bulls like me
that hide in drinking
snide remarks
replies, fights start
good tidings to
the farmers who
content themselves
to repent ills
than they proceed
with evil deeds
contingent on religeon
being stringent supposition
that divine right is right
implies bovine sightless sight
reside in pastures large but tight
with security
impurity second nature
and indifference for the first
I thirst for freedom
redeem me from this hell
I dwell in
constantly sellin' my soul
for just a bowl of gruel
a crust of bread
a sip of water
I lust for death
or is it slaughter?
what about the rest
the sons
the daughters
can they attest to facts
impacts
relax?
attack!
take back what's ours!
our fate
sedate?
relate to those around!
and then compound the problems
solve 'em . . .
What is the deciding factor that justifies rebellion?

Silence (Votes: 0) (Wins: 0) [color=darkred]Nothing
Pierce the silence
A life time wish of mine it's a double edged sword... Nothing
Pierce the silence
A life time wish of mine it's a double edged sword though being left with the afterglow of conversation deterioration then just the ringing in my ears so loud, but still silent
Inside screaming in agony I find solace for a moment but in trying to find calm it is gone I've gone silent
All the voices in my head are dead or they should be or maybe they're waiting there dormant for release or they ARE me, just me, what do they know anyway?
They know silence
Silence rich and pliant hollow and empty loud in defiance yet sallow in unity and I can't find out why it's so fallow a tallow candle beside a solar flare of the sublime so I rhyme to kill time?
No

When All Is Lost (Votes: 3) (Wins: 0) [color=darkred]The child woke up every day
"A little later than the morning past"
Is... The child woke up every day
"A little later than the morning past"
Is what the clock would always say
"I'd better act fast or I'm gonna be late"
So he'd lever from the floor in haste
Then break his fast on food nonexistent
A casual glance at his disheveled pate
Then off to wade through a whole world of resistance
So every morning the child would turn his back
On everything he knew and Loved
To try and fulfill an all encompassing lack
And although he lacked nothing he'd still follow the track
Or perhaps blaze a trail on parallel tack
Along with the multitudes, their footprints too deep
To escape, though escape the child knew for a fact
Was his fate, but his fate presently was only to weep
Poor child could do nothing, do nothing but cry
At the state of the world, at the state of his world
Unfortunately not a single tear would be born of his eyes
But there they were, filling him to bursting inside
Would he explode? no, only in silence would he defy
Everything, anything, logic, time, reason, rhyme, the very fabric. . .
Existence? it's implied, does it hide? he can almost see it wane if he tries
A downward spiral of just his mind? or another frantic cry for help?
It doesn't matter, a child easily finds a moments solace. |

The Ballad Of The Serpent (Votes: 0) (Wins: 0) [color=darkred]There is a man who lives his life in never-ending gloom
Surrounded by the four... There is a man who lives his life in never-ending gloom
Surrounded by the four padded walls of his cozy little room
Astounded by his current plight he knows not what to do
So he hunkers down onto the floor and sings a little tune
"My life is full of broken dreams
And nothing is just as is seems
My Love is lost my past it teems
With disappointment by any means
So I rend the hearts of little girls
And choke the life from men
Bullets I shoot grenades I hurl
With murder my intent
There is no one under the sun
Who's yet to feel my wrath
And if I've missed a single one
Just let him cross my path"
As the final note echoes off padded walls of white
A resonance of vile hatred escapes into the night
Rebounding from all pure and good by evil felt and understood
The spectacular display of might bathes all that is unholy in fright
Imbuing the denizens of the dark with age old long forgotten insight
As to their origins human at heart ensnared in darkness turning from light
The spark of fear an emotion long lost restores to them their human life
And while some shed tears of repentance most are filled with macabre delight
With renewed hate and greed and lust and pure human ambition
The hordes of evil beings from their abysmal lairs are driven
To leave their world of death and decay to plague the land of the living
With terror fit to dishearten and dismay the most rightous and forgiving
Not one survived the dismal days of rampant destruction and unbridled death
All the earthly souls went their separate ways on the wings of destiny except
The great host of evil and their mysterious benefactor who somehow escapes the certain death of his captor's neglect
Twas an ill fated outcome of an ill fated night when minions and master finally met
Four Padded walls come crashing down the ceiling flung aside
The monstrous army makes not a sound so enthralled with what's inside
A pitiable little wretch of a man lost in confusion he feels no need to hide
Then just when the front ranks decide
To sweep over the man in a nightmarish tide
A spark of recognition is born in his eyes
The human condition he detects in the eyes of his guests just arrived from whatever hell in which they used to reside
"Welcome to MY hell" he cries
Unleashing the very same hatred that tries
To escape when he sings of death murder and rape
And thus is disbanded the demonic horde
Each of their pasts branded on each simple mind floored
With infinite regret and remorse
Each perverted body transformed
Into each rightful corpse
Each soul sent forth
The wings of destiny
Guiding each course
And with that final stroke the gloom filled man begins to sing
No longer disappointed his voice holds a cheerful ring
He sings a song about all of the souls that came and went
And with a touch of irony he calls it "The Ballad Of The Serpent" |

Words pour forth in steep crescendo just for sport or innuendo these however don't please or deliver they're uttered in circles of huddled men shivering or sage or quivering with rage from decrepit old age down to measured in days from content in their ways to the unkempt and dazed all attempting to bring change and what do the words say pouring forth in a wave "You're mine in spirit body mind destined to serve me until time itself is gone and done when all you know crumbles to dust" "Alright we must just run escape cuz freedom surely lies that way there's nothing more to do or say against truth proven every day" "But no you see through eyes opaque with fear your terror shakes your faith think deep surely we'll find a way to end this stark oppressive reign" "From fear and wisdom please refrain only through force we'll break the chains of bondage contained no longer thanx to our anger thanx to being stronger" "Thou all art wrong my friends you sing the age old song you know not where the words come from and that they've already been sung" "But why I don't get it you try so hard to end it why not just ignore it live this life that's so splendid and imprisonment is ended" "Yes why isn't this enough for all of you you must dream up something so alien and new when what we have is tried and tested through and through" "I'll tell you why cuz when I die I'd like to see God eye to eye and have him know at least I tried to right the wrongs not deem them right" "And thus" the voice boomed in again "You've sealed your fate you're doomed to end this life as only I see fit divided fractured broken rent apart by words you've spoken with all your free will revoked and no choice but to watch and cope with all my dreams and my ambitions every scheme whatever mission your life can't be redeemed our fates are combined you're mine and you're starting to see what you've been missing all this time you poor foolish colleagues of mine" |

Treason (Votes: 0) (Wins: 0) [color=darkred]They say that what doesn’t kill us
Just makes us stronger
I say if pain... They say that what doesn’t kill us
Just makes us stronger
I say if pain didn’t fill us
We’d probably live longer
And if pain doesn’t fill you
You’re probably naïve
Cause it would probably kill you
If you were made to believe
All the damage we’ve caused
Most by ignorance
The near worship of laws
And our lack of defense
Against politicians who are flawed
Motivated by only greed
It’s sad most of us are awed
And see only false need
Of a system to implement
Responsibilities we care not to
Teach our kids pay our rent
These are things that we ought to
Be doing
And paying every attention to detail
We’re screwing
Ourselves, and we’re destined to fail
If we don’t fight back regardless of how frail
We are how far we get I bet is less impress and more implore it’s no contest if we fight for what’s right we’ll best the might of those who oppress our flight from dark to light
So smite
Down those with sword or pen
Whose spite affords only our end
Maintains our plight
Rearrange this blight
Help assure that this fight
Is not won by Darkness, but Light |

What’s the attraction?
It causes elation
Throughout the nation
For every person
From every station
There is no worse than
Lack of connection
For some, this expression
Will confuse and perplex them
For others, communication
Is the pastime perfection
For all, it comes down to
Just one choice
To have people look right through you
Or to stand up and speak, with a note of pride in your voice. |

Travel Light (Votes: 0) (Wins: 0) [color=darkred]Now I have reached, A rolling boil
My walls are breached, No, smashed to rubble
My... Now I have reached, A rolling boil
My walls are breached, No, smashed to rubble
My strength has been leeched, By endless toil
Your sermon preached, Has popped a bubble
That’s cracked many teeth, And plans it has foiled
By it I’ve been wreathed, And caused nothing but trouble
Pushed priorities beneath, constant hatred that roiled
And bubbled, And boiled, And trouble, Is doubled
It made me feel soiled, Made violence well oiled
But affection was spoiled, The anger just coiled
Ready to be hurled, At the rest of the world
But this anger led to shame, even hidden it was to blame
For adding danger to the game, making a midden of my fame
And of all the players, that went and came
It was the only one, that stayed the same
Making enemies of haters, I dare not name
For fear or becoming, quite less than tame
The way I was living, Just struck me as lame
Then a stoned drunken preacher, Convinced me to change
Ya know how? By giving me, An example of how strange
Emotions when sunken, Deep down in the brain
Can make you appear, You stand out against the grain
After year-after-year, It was finally made plain
That all my problems were caused, By an ever growing stain
On my heart where my feelings, Were relived again and again
Cause when they tried to escape, I just shoved them back in.
In retrospect, I didn’t expect, them to collect, and then reflect
On every aspect of my life
I thought I was blocking out all the strife
But really was locking it all in tight
Like tons of wild animals insane with fright
If not for that drunken fool I just might
Have lived in that eternal darkness of night
Until the end of my sense of touch, sound, smell and sight
Left only with the bitter taste of defeat.
Trapped in a cell, Of my own creation, Comparable to hell,
The opposite of elation, Is my only company,
Besides the swell of emotions, That threaten eruption
Just putrid corruption, Not a mixture, A solution
Like the one I can’t find
While the world inevitably
Leaves me behind |

But of course for you and me one divergent only
Then when you come to a choice that might split you in two
Would you err on the side of true Love?
Some see requisite thoughts packaged so prettily
And recourse limited to only what is seen
Please forget it is only your eyes you believe
And just err on the side of true Love
Cold dark and alone is the way of reality
Death and pain the only things you can count on infallibly
So what exactly is worth all your time on this earth
If not taking the side of true Love? |

The suns rays reflected in an array of vibrant colors, reflected from vestiges of puffy clouds, clouds that sat low on the horizon. Clouds that lauded a rare moment in the life of a Los Angelino: a moment during which the sky had been washed clean, cleansed of its ever present impurity. The visual was wasted on Him; it was wasted on Him not because He didnt appreciate such displays of natural beauty. No, indeed, He was always one to stop and stare, one to drink in such beauty and wonder. It was as if His . . . ever present battle, His reason for being (continuing, in actuality), was in fact only distracting Him from such moments, such moments that are the true and only meaning of life. The stunning visual was wasted on Him because at the moment, The Moment, his vision was blocked by tons and tons, floor upon floor, of cold, hard, cinder block.
Strange, He wondered aloud, Not being able to so much as view the sky, although at the moment, The Moment, this is very much what He wanted to do. . . He knew it had rained yesterday. . . Although, whether the rain had stopped or not, He couldnt possibly have known for sure. He also knew that after a heavy rain the sky would look brilliant. He knew that it was indeed a rare day for the residents of Los Angeles, especially around the moments of sunrise. He thought about those kinds of things. For now, and for as long as he could remember. . . |

the fact remains

A... A delicate form that is care lined and worn gently floats along the cosmos
A vision of perfection . . . almost
A nebulous creation formed of every living thing to ever come and go throughout unwritten history even the ones that suffered from unfounded condemnation
So gracefully they float along one can not help but be enthralled too bad these mundane words can not describe so dignified of a procession
Except perhaps to a freed mind that doesnt move along a line constrained by space or even time and even then there'd be no reason . . . more importantly no rhyme
But how unfortunate to be so caged within a mortal coil as it's wept from greater beings onto metaphorical soil of a finite while seemingly endless path upon which one is tried with what might seem to be just pointless toil the end of which always in sight to be feared or sought or bravely defied . . . but still the only constant companion of life
Oh well
It is the nature of the test I guess and how could one so great settle for anything but this a ride upon a rapid stream of heartfelt tears and nothing less but always more than it might seem . . . at least from points of view unseen |

I hope at least one that is left is an SUV, Oh well, I guess a cutlass is good enough for me, but only if it has working air conditioning, so much more important than societal conditioning, dont you think? Of course, I bet you'd drive through hell if the AC worked, prolly run down some demons without batting an eye to the right or the left while you change flaming lanes, without even using your blinker! What an ass! Dont worry, it'll pass, with your vision and your drivers license and your young sexy visage also, just don't let your immaturity outlast those wonderful characteristics, now that would be a damn shame, ugly and a moron, and blind to boot, perhaps with no legs, you could ride on a skate board while asking for change, thats what I do, well, without the legless skateboard part, but hey, at least its a start, too bad most of my asking seems to be mistaken for the passing of wind, not like gentle breezes through meadows rich with the scent of wildflowers either, any accompanying scent would be much more unpleasant, reminiscent of. . . I dont know, something that smells very bad indeed, and would smell bad in word also if it ever deigned to speak, or to be more accurate, if anyone ever deigned to listen, although I can see where one wouldnt miss what they're missing, at least not because of my constant insisting that they should, granted, it is quite a sticky situation, due to slimy individuals who stick quite well to their ranks and their stations and leave grimy residuals that require more than one sheet of bounty brand paper towel to clean up, more than two even, I speculate that no one would know, seeing as how it has never been attempted. . . thats a long time's worth of accumulated filth! We might as well start passing out rolls of the stuff! Quick! Someone contact the corporate office, maybe we can work out some sort of accommodation. . . then again, maybe not, free paper towels wouldn't look very good on a balance sheet now would it, but should it become necessary the paper towels could be seized by a small and elite force, as long as surprise is on our side, and there are still enough trees for the astonishing amount of paper pulp that we'll need, *sigh*, that is the way of things isnt it, constantly destroying what we want to save most. . . we could always run headlong into each other and hope for four more, including the originals, just remember, the new spawn are small and wont last very long. |

He danced a jig so rapidly that one could barely see his feet they wore right through his thinning soles and then soon after wore a hole right through the floorboards at his feet then through the dirt and moss and peat then straightaway through rock and stone and lava magma fossils bone and when he finally came to rest even the devil was impressed for he had danced himself to hell where even now the poor man dwells in agony anguish unending just desserts for his offending gods that might have danced if they had had the rhythm for it, but eyeing his merriment askance decreed eternal torment |

True Paradox (Votes: 0) (Wins: 0) [color=darkred]If I could draw these words
As if they were a picture
Do you have a clue
How... If I could draw these words
As if they were a picture
Do you have a clue
How beautiful they'd be
I don't think you realize
How gorgeous they would look
I'd draw them in your image
You'd compliment them beautifully
Now I doubt you'd read them
Fortunately I'd not care
Because at least I know I'd see them
I'd literally, stop and stare
Of course I can not draw these words
So I suppose it doesn't matter
Except that now I've drawn these words
However inadvertently
I guess they're not as pretty
As I'd like them to be
Still, I'll trap them in a mirror
And with a wistful smirk, a subtle quirk of more than just my lips
I'll see them shatter
And as a keepsake I can save a piece |

Wistful (Votes: 0) (Wins: 0) [color=darkred]Life is within a stencil
So choose your weapon pen or pencil
Is it possible... Life is within a stencil
So choose your weapon pen or pencil
Is it possible someone could care any less than I do?
I don't know but I definitely doubt it
It just goes to show I know nothing about it
Well actually I've mastered the pen and the pencil
But always they're always guided by the stencil
You might think at least that the shape preordained
Would be for the most part unanimously sustained
But open your eyes broaden your horizons
You'll notice the lies the existance of islands
Where evolution's subverted
Logic's used inverted
To put an end to the masses
Who care not for advances
To the shape that life's stencil is made to create
The all pervading life invading twisting of fate
A destiny to compliment that of certain death
Why not Glorious Revolution until the bitter end? |

Pace on top of burning coals, pace back and forth, pace until you've had enough now fall facedown and try to drown in tears of pain from being maimed but expect none to rain to ease the strain just watch your beautiful eyes melt away from your skull hear the end of your cries as your lips finally fall into the fiery embrace of the coals, and don't stop there, into the furnace let the rest of yourself go, be thankful that you can no longer smell, I was when I fell as well being thankful for the feeling of relief I received from being relieved of my features, but enough about me, how do you feel with your flesh being peeled away in the flames? is it too drastic a change? would you have rather remained upright despite the recommendation I so politely provided? but aren't you excited now all the wrongs have been righted? of course they are. . . try it |

those bastard frauds'll be sorry then,
but I bet on the same outcome as them,
so it's all good I guess. . .
until I end up on a cross with a spear through my chest or rope round my neck a tree limb to break my fall with a whole mob enthralled but not one finger raised in defense all fists balled and kicks falling like rain until the pain is all that there is, then I'll wish it hadn't happened like this. |

True Love (can go to hell) (Votes: 0) (Wins: 0) [color=darkred]why instead of cry do I sit there and laugh
it's still me
the same person... why instead of cry do I sit there and laugh
it's still me
the same person I wanted to be
the same person that writes
when there are tons of things to read
even when, right afterwards, I feel I need a bath
the same cat that keeps fighting in an effort to be redeemed
the same fool that keeps thinking that that's all there is to need
the same person that dares to write down. . .
everything
almost
at least all the stuff that keeps this poor sap ticking
the same force that keeps the whole world whirring and clicking
the moving and shaking left dormant and forgotten
awakening the fake acting for only a moment
before vomiting traumatizing thoughts
while fighting all of it
wrestling to the end of the breath
not the life, but worse still, the ability to ingest
the sweet air of the well
the sweet air of the rested
the sweet air of the poor souls whos pasts have been tested
and found wanting very little
the arguments against them
so weak and so brittle
redemption so close at their fingertips
redemption a hairs breadth from their grasp
contention a notion that can never outlast
their devotion
to what?
to life everlasting?
to life in the fastlane?
how can they care?
when I don't?
how do they breathe and not choke?
on forgiveness that so obviously deserves to be revoked?
how is it that I can hate
and find fault with everything?
simple, it's the Love that is the core of my being. |

on and on
the race it goes
the race that is
the game of thrones
it's only changed
everyone knows
in that the kings
are dead and gone
so now the prize
is cash and so
there are more players
many more
in fact everyone
is enthralled
with victory
though none win all
it is more fair
this way although
not very
as the winners know
the evolved form
of feudal lords
who still follow
the birthright laws
inheriting
more than the flaws
genetically
passed from above
these new aged lords
and ladies fair
still rule as much
as they can dare
to show while trapped
on waves of air
broadcast as far
as here and there
for the smallfolk
to stop and stare
participate
as if they were
a vital part
their import sure
their small opinions
spin the world
their hands lift up
foundation stones
for castle knight
king and his throne
ever this way
is how its gone
meekly inherited
for few to own.
granted
there are benefits
and arguments
no end of it
standard of living
up it went
right through the roof
for now from then
at least for some of us that is
still there are those
whose lives are bent
and old from birth
to shortened end
the most luckless
third world get
who only need
to bow and bend
the knee
so they can then be free
to share the corporate wealth
as we have done
they surely see
how better fed
and fat the free world is
so what is it
that keeps their knees unbent
their nations loud
with weak protest
perhaps their gods
have truly sent
word to their prophets
who have said
to always fight
against the west
certainly never let them best
all opposition,
and assimilate the rest.
so arguments
fly forth and back
and logic is
the first attacked
because good sense
is such a threat
and is quite simple
to perfect
regardless what
is truly meant
to fight for us
or fight for them
to give your life
as just expense
with bomb or fatigues
round your chest
is about as normal
as it gets
depending where
you're born and bred
and thus the conflict
winds and wends
its way around
the mob convinced
to fight for that
or defend this
"convinced by whom?"
I ask and grit
my teeth as noone answers to my satisfaction.
which just king
or maiden fair
which knight which lordling
is prepared
to admit they're to blame
that it was them
it was their faction
whole or in part
then take action
begin to wane
instead of waxing
realize war and strife
industrial life
might be too taxing
on our planet
on our people
all of us
created equal
strike a balance
in our lives
and how we live
and how we're tried
and how challenged
scale back
what we devour
all the food
and water
power
be it tangible
or otherwise
how can we hope
to think and strive
together
as is meant to be
while standing tall
or bending knee
democracy
or under kings
it hardly matters
how it happens
it will for certain
come to pass and
the only question remaining being
who will remain standing
who will carry on the torch
and who will die
who must be lost
and which great nation
will be crushed
and how much longer
will it last
this cycle born
of present, past, and future crashing through a moment
with a throne
and all these people trying vainly to sit on it. |

The Book (Votes: 0) (Wins: 0) [color=darkred]he dips the acid in the quill
then spills it out on paper
leaves it there... he dips the acid in the quill
then spills it out on paper
leaves it there to rot and sing and dance about and caper merrily
until the inevitable drought
leaves caligraphic tounges
not sweetened honeyed silky
smoothly writhing round eachother
but dried out
bleached white as bone
about to crumble to dust at the merest touch
while spilling nothing
but words
just like acid
just like they spouted
out of a quill
inflicting wounds
causing collateral damage
almost as if
they were real
just watch him dangle
from a bucket hanging on a chain
a chain that stretches up into darkness
then back around again
the man has siezed hold of the chain to keep himself aloft
but every so often a link will slip off
of the teeth at the top
and sure enough
the man will lower himself
slowly
down into shady depths
depths filled high with acid
an inkwell like the one
he dipped into his pen
an inkwell like none other
the man is convinced he's got to have it
and so he's immersed in ink
without ever thinking
about how
he'll inevitably have to be bound |

The Vagrant Supplicant (Votes: 0) (Wins: 0) [color=darkred]There is no one to turn to in the frigid cold
when the winter stars open wide... There is no one to turn to in the frigid cold
when the winter stars open wide their arms
It's so hard to escape the wintry embrace
of Sirius Rigel and Procyon, Capella Pollux Aldebaran
Once you turn to the heavens
the present is gone
wrapped tight in the cold as a blanket
until the heart slows and stops
So who do you turn to on a winter's night
while the frost lays down to sleep on the ground
outside with the ice
Take heart and take strength from the heavenly host
of the father the son, and the holy ghost
While the fires of faith burn
from hot embers to coals
the body nevertheless still is frozen with cold
Black fingers and toes stiff as boards
a frostbitten supplicant beaten and ignored
And where can one such find relief from the storm
From the brotherhood around him
into which he's been born
From the pastor the scholar, the politician the narcissist
or the dollar, crisp dollar clutched tight in the fist
Of the silenced homeless
His fingers frozen won't release their hold on that dollar
Last dollar
Last companion
Last friend
The only real power
The true god of men |

on... Molecules
they bend and form
they're sent right through the ether borne
on wings of molecules
that dance and sing in silence still they ring like tuning forks
as pure as molecules
smote high and low rebounding through the air that flows as molecules
they rage and storm about the ether
soft or loud these molecules
they come across more molecules
and there they stop
then tenuously at first
they try to blend in with the rest
they make an attempt at helix bending 'round the orbiting molecules
of potential friends
they are most likely sent on their way
where they went
and then saddened and spent
the poor molecules
they proceed to rend themselves apart
the molecules
tear deeper and deeper until finally reaching their own heart
and the molecules rage does not abate until that also is torn apart
sending molecules
maliciously maddeningly deliciously hammering in every direction at once
seeking vengeance and finding it
finally they have won
a hollow victory
though not something easily stopped once begun
the molecules tear viciously
through molecules
more efficiently then bullets from a gun
the sum just molecules
not life or death or Love regret no luck no temptation no threat not man not woman
nothing that you'd expect
just the molecules bestowed upon you to protect
only molecules |

Rain Anthem (Votes: 2) (Wins: 0) [color=darkred]There's life in the rain
it's falling down
spilling out upon the ground... There's life in the rain
it's falling down
spilling out upon the ground
collecting in the puddles
absorbed through the soles of the shoes of the youngsters
splashing, laughing, sodden, drenched
it can be heard
squitch squitching on the entry tiles
but it goes no further
it's left on the threshold
finally defeated, extinguished
by a mop wielding adult
there are voices in the rain
just listen as each drop explains
its journey through the skies of grey
the withering pain the heart wrenching dismay the crushing impact it sustains
to rain on your parade
it's fractured shape coalescing
in the light of a new day
a new storm resurrected
all the merriment postponed
due to the threat of rain
all the kids locked in their homes
entombed with threats of catching cold
one more of many gloomy faces
ensconced behind a window pane
death is in the rain
whip lashing fury uncontained
feeding a river's rage
bulging at its swollen banks
its course is quickly changed
the homes in the way presumed safe, no longer
their warm dry confines washed away
the only living witnesses left in the wake
a fish or two who have finally escaped
the confines of their tiny fish tank
free to nibble away at the snarling rictus frozen on the face
of the drowned man trapped in his watery grave
there's fire in the rain
that doesn't fall on the desolate plain
a land that can't sustain
a story or a person to tell it, not for long anyway
the throat is too parched for the ears to hear
what they're desperately trying to say. . . |

[b]Report![/b]
Sir! the humans are increasing... God, Inc. dba a human CEO
Report!
Sir! the humans are increasing in numbers exponentially
outstripping the other life-forms with ease
literally expanding into every available habitat
scientifically
economically
supporting themselves into environs not even designed for their species
Scientifically? Economically? What is that supposed to mean?
They're really quite clever sir
They've developed devices to control relevant survival factors
such as heat and cold
Virtually all their sustenance is manufactured
They've even gone as far as changing the flows
of the rivers to deliver the life giving waters
to the baren deserts
The balance is delicate
but every single facet of their existence
seems to have a system designed for it
And, it is all governed by a strange force
that they have apparently created.
Our people are still looking into it
but so far it seems to be an entirely imaginary substance
which somehow denotes status within the varied castes
and is quickly becoming a global apparatus
an accepted standard of measure, if you will
that dictates an individuals practices and habits
It is really quite amaz-
What?!
Impossible!
Nevermind, I don't care about the specifics
Just fix it!
This thing is getting totally out of control
and I'm holding you personally responsible
How you let this thing snowball
in the space of a single generation
I'll never know. . .
yessir. . . Should I order the rapture and apocalypse?
No!
No rapture!
Look at these paltry numbers, this is a complete disaster!
Just shake those bastards off my rock! . . . And somebody bring me a sandwich! |

when our thirst for mirth is quenched
our desires spent
time and again
where are we
after we've achieved all the success
battled, conquered
addressed each regret
when we've fought through it all
and won
what is left
besides a last will and testament
where are we
with backs bent
when canes raise us from chairs with wheels on
curbs become chasms
televisions, steadfast friends
fresh air, bottled oxygen
where are we
when the garden withers
and the dust collects
where are we
when our will to live
grows thin
muscles atrophy
joints writhe
alive with pain
skin like parchment
blotted
malignant
where are we
when the wisdom of years
starts to slip
when our grip on reality tightens
and we find
we can no longer grasp it
where are our precious memories
what happened to them
are they simply consigned
to the ravages of time
can they possibly live
while we die |

Cinderblock Tribute (Votes: 5) (Wins: 0) [color=darkred]My thirst is never quenched. My desire for freedom never spent. This feeling... My thirst is never quenched. My desire for freedom never spent. This feeling of contrariness, for all of this, will not relent. So on and on the moral compass spins. It points in all directions. Even so, my point of view is narrow, but this doesn't mean that I can't see right through the boundaries, into the periphery, gleaning other people's meanings, examining what they see so narrowly. What I see stares back at me with eyes of a different color, but other than that they're just like mine and just like mine they're crying. Why do I care? Because it's part of combating my own despair. What, did you think pure altruism brought me here? I must fight for what is right and just, to do anything less is time wasted, a life spent but never truly tasted, a mortgage in suburbia, a dog, a wife, two kids, and a white picket fence. No. Not like this. How did things come to this pass I put them there and now the choice is should I make them last, or can power flow from the barrel of my chest, can it flow from voices raised in protest, or must I take that final step, to violence? . . . Yes. |

I also remember him because he's black. I didn't know black people could run for president, I mean, if they could why haven't they ever done it before? I remember hillary you see, because her husband cheated on her. that was fucked up, but I guess she doesn't seem to mind. I didn't know girls could be president either. I wish there were more cooler people to vote for than just those two though, like paul micartney for president would be freakin awesome!! |

my mind it stayed behind
well, above, and slightly to the left
like many a movie
I had a good view of my former self
I watched as my skin began to rot
I saw necrophiliacs
they didn't seem to mind at all
but eventually it was just me
and my corpse
decaying slowly
then the scavengers joined the party
for the Love of god
I would have given my life for a respectable crew of buzzards
they could hardly be as bad
as insects
bugs
maggots
the common house fly Loves to lay its eggs in feces
(shit)
so that its young has something to feed on
during its tender infancy
come to find out human corpses are just as good
makes me wish I had read up on my biology
and died at a more convenient location
exactly forty-eight generations of house fly later
my bones were all that remained of my remains
and I was becoming quite bored with myself
a human skeleton can sustain only so much amusement
even when it's your own
but alas, time continued to pass
with nothing worth reporting
besides the incremental crumbling to dust
of my skeleton
and finally
while sitting, or hanging I suppose
contemplating the dust that I had become
some sort of breeze or draft snuck up on me
and scattered what was left of me
mixing me into the surrounding dirt and grime
if I still had eyes at that point
I think I would have cried. |

captured for all time
is the fossilized hat
a fisher hat, with a blue band around the base
one side of the brim turned down, one side turned up
its manufactured polymers make it virtually impregnable
to the siege of time
it waits
it waits for a new species to evolve
to become civilized
to eventually become interested in archeology
and ancient civilizations
it waits
a never ending tribute
for the ages
a constant reminder
of eclectic taste
though who might eventually remember
I can hardly say
beings gather round the site
peering by the caution tape
as the head of the team
gently, painstakingly, brushes away the grit
from the emerging brim
of the fisher hat
the blue band around the base
still patiently waits
brim still turned up on one side, down on the other
and though it may not win a nobel prize
I find
that it is nevertheless a remarkable find
the wearer, they say
according to the carbon date
surely must have had
eclectic taste.

Is it a coincidence
that inhibition
rhymes with inquisition?
They both kill people
for no reason,
after all.
These thoughts and more fall
through the carbonated haze.
All muddled,
bedazzled,
and dazed.
And days of yore
are ressurected,
if only in my brain.
Slopping about,
squirming devilishly.
The thought matches its object:
a protestant in flames.
God himself has trouble deciding
which soul can be saved.
I'm amazed
at such bitter clarity,
the inhibitions shriven away,
the wisdom revealed:
catholics, protestants,
muzlims, christians.
They're all the same.
The difference
between the knights
and the knaves
could fit up a gnat's ass,
and shake around in the extra space.
With these happy thoughts,
the unfinished bottle slips quietly
through my sleeping fingers. . .
I wake to the inhibition
staring me in the face,
with the pitiless eyes
of the righteous
man of god.
Eyes offering a glimpse
into oblivion.
He wrings the confession
from the flesh
with implements it is hard to imagine,
much less mention.
In torment
I can't help but wonder why
satan has been canonized
while the precious memories
of the true saints
are drubbed smartly about the head
by the keepers of the faith. |

Entropy?

I really must refrain from going on without having the courtesy to explain exactly what it is I'm going on about. it's not as though this were common knowledge after all. being written on the wall in this day and age no longer qualifies as sage advice. skepticism reigns you might say, to paraphrase one of the greats: a degree in common sense from the university of stands to reason, is not something for which one would pay. . . but anyway, it's said that matter is constantly scattering towards a state of even distribution. this is sometimes applied to human lives and complex societies, where it's described as inevitable decline. and therein lies the hypocrisy. you see, people aren't little bits of things that just follow the laws of the universe, we're not going to gently disperse into the ether, benevolently succumbing to cosmic will. and further still if we did than decline is not something we'd find, it sounds more like socialism refined where equal pay equal say and equal space combined replace the age old rat race. decline they say? don't get me wrong though decline is indeed inevitable, but not in the same way as the universe does it. opposite in fact. rather than dispersing equally throughout, everything tends to gather at a focal point of douch-baggery, donald trump for example, or that guy that owns microsoft. eventually, in purely highlander fashion (there can be only one) everything that matters but Love is gathered in a single spot and the rest can rot in hell if they don't like it (or more likely a jail cell.) that my friends is entropy human style. but wait, the contradictions go on, this innate disdain for natural law and logic implies. . . ?
well, that we don't have to go quiet, of course. |

this pun been able

shunned and ridiculed he was
poor pun was picked on and bullied

he grew up to be a cop

for laughing at something
that isn't
even
funny
when you're not
at all
amused
so go ahead
look out your window
walk out your door
take a peek
at what this world has to offer
and laugh your fucken ass off
full throated, from the belly
let the tears stream unheeded
in maniacal glee
'cause sometimes
a short guffaw
just doesn't quite capture
the absolute lack
of hilarity |

Scarecrow (Votes: 4) (Wins: 0) Love is a strawman
peace is a strawman

happiness... Love is a strawman
peace is a strawman
fact is that anything decent's a strawman
happiness honor and dignity make way
for expediency's sake
the only thing that isn't fake
is human's animal nature
but guess what
my strawmen
eyes cold, intent
scythes poised to rend flesh
have got you outnumbered
and surrounded
'but what of
the obvious contradiction
between your position
and your intent!'
the logician screams
at the bitter end
not realizing
that life is a strawman
and so apparently
is death |

Utopia Hallow or Hollow (Votes: 8) (Wins: 0) taxes paid in candy canes
or I owe yous instead
warfare fought with chess or checkers
all... taxes paid in candy canes
or I owe yous instead
warfare fought with chess or checkers
all inside my head
silence can be comfortable
on eggshells we can tread
kool-aid smiles break the ice
it's all inside my head
Love is a full contact sport
there's nothing left unsaid
the feeling never dulled by time
not ever in my head
if there is only just one left
lets share, come on, break bread
but of course, how could I have forgotten. . .
we're not inside my head.

I know, I was there (Votes: 3) (Wins: 0) I live in extra-dimensional space

my body is but a carapace
my mind is a bunch of neurons firing
like old bundles of faulty wiring
but in a fourth or fifth or sixth
if numbers still apply
there is the crux of what is me
where I truly reside
this vital part its import sure
is only but an inch
an inch of me that can't be killed
can never be imprisoned
this inch of me will not give up
it fights for all of time
some call it god
some call it grace
call it what you want
it's mine |

Scratch the Surface of a Monster Find a Man (Votes: 6) (Wins: 0) Now every day is Halloween
Bloody rivulets glistening
Dripping from the fingers and down... Now every day is Halloween
Bloody rivulets glistening
Dripping from the fingers and down the arms
Of every single living being
Though 'living' may be generous
you may find 'corpse' analogous
Lurching along mob-like with a zombie gait
Each of us feeding off the rest of us
At least until that sorrowful day
When a cunning fellow changes his ways
And snatches the whole bag of treats away
From the rest of us poor kiddies at play
Leaves us dazed confused and crying refusing denying resigned to dismay until eaten by hate consumed resisting refuting defying in impotent rage. . .
And who can say how this holiday ends?
The vampire gorged
as seems its intent
leaving everyone else dead. . .
Perhaps classic horror naivete'
where the heroes always win the day. . .
Well reality or fantasy
The casualties stack to the eaves
And also assured is one more thing
I've only got to run faster than you
If I want to live
and I do
. . . I'll snatch your bag on my way through and laugh when they catch up to you |

eyes like windows barred (Votes: 2) (Wins: 0) thoughts super sonic, draughts gin & tonics, walks runs and falls and stumbles crawls... thoughts super sonic, draughts gin & tonics, walks runs and falls and stumbles crawls wind up with all that every time or once upon it, always, happily ever after, one moment in the future, chase it every second and it still seems to elude you, so, settle, for a buyers regret, without a receipt, just think, and medicate, or quit, and meditate, become one of the living dead foundation built upon your head climb through and stand on them instead, or, slink away with no regrets, good bye, au revoir, arrivederci my friends. . . I guess I shouldn't call you that, not because I don't Love you, but the term was ruined by john mccain, right along with a little word called change, that's why I don't want to play, anymore, I'll shut and lock my door, and for you, a wistful glance from my window.

media circus (Votes: 13) (Wins: 1) it's a media circus
three rings of worthless information
elephant sits on mans head
miraculously... it's a media circus
three rings of worthless information
elephant sits on mans head
miraculously he's not dead
but he is the first human colonoscopy instrument
cat leaps from top of telephone pole
guess what
he lands on his feet
amidst cops and firefighters
a virtual fleet of onlookers
the cat streaks away, thanks
you have no idea how many people got paid for that display
politician spends too much money on outward appearance
but no amount of makeup masks his frog-like gullet
he'll never get re-elected
all the experts know it
half an hour later the pollsters start to show it
rich and famous so and so
is acquitted for such and such
so what
a statue is erected
in honor of the man who dared throw shoes at a visiting dignitary
his beaten body rots in a cell
as the crowds protesting his incarceration steadily swell
economists panic and shoot themselves
while others claim that by spending a couple trillion, all will be well
those who believe they're qualified
falling all over themselves to get in line
and now for the weather
bleak
with chance of downpour
oh by the way
fluffy the panda is pregnant |

HA-HA-HAAA!

on my runaway zippa'

Ascending the... This is an ode
to good as dead hippies
Good as dead
or even worse pittied
Ascending the bell curve
falling into the trough
Ever crawling
back to the top
Mood swings
Each
every other ring
This clapper
fantastic
apparently spastic
Point 'A' to point 'B' dramatically
Investment, all, everything
Return, paltry, fair, exciting
All told
back into the fold
Rough edges
forced to fit into the mold
It was fact
they would never have to go back
Alas
men roll the globe along laid tracks
And so
here I am
crawling back
though I'll never set foot on a map
under glass
paying tax
those before me deserve more than that
To the memories of all that can happen when people are acting in concert demanding an end to the lack of the start of the freedom extolled by the blackest of hearts
(?)
They made freedom ring funereal
bled of all its material
If a bell could curve like mount everest
if everest could pierce the atmosphere
then happy homecoming's held at the top
meet me and the hiippies
or not |

The... True Love can never be
without the sacrifice of peace of mind
The solitude will cease
The doubt,
the fear of loss increases
Silence;
gone, defeated
What, is something wrong?
Yes
Chaotic pair of dime shift
to gridlocked emotional traffic
where discerning quality
is sheer stockinged impossibility
but quantity suggests net gain gross pain loss pain hope pain Love pain
and most of all a promise to refrain
from ever doing this again,
so until then. . . |

It comes so naturally, at least as much as eventually becoming deceased, but lets not muck about; things can't be moved along without pinning blame on some unsuspecting lout, the more toward innocent the better lest he understand these letters. Come now you can't possibly think to shoulder your share of the blame. Well not me! I've got places to go and people to see, a status quo to uphold, and people like you to defeat |

blot out every other word
beat a child liberally
than cram the book into his skull
now tell the child day by day
there's tons of things he ought not know
but tons of stuff to memorize
while under your complete control
'complete' except for one minor thing
or two or three or four
his teachers, elders, those bigger than him
and lets not forget the law
well maybe skip all the bull and simply say
he's the lowest on the totem pole
just make sure that you don't complain
when he beats you to death with a hammer |

broken sonnet (Votes: 0) (Wins: 0) In following the ancient path

without purpose hate or... In following the ancient path
the ants are trodden on and killed
without purpose hate or wrath
in fact without knowledge or will
not murder, negligent homicide
a stride apathetic on a well beaten trail
what will live and what will die?
the ability to decide has failed, replaced by destiny on rails, a fate train filled with people powerless to do anything but bemoan and bewail
but stale philosophy still prevails
circular logic fuels cyclical history
a species tearing out its own entrails
and watching itself in misery
it is appropriate of course
that I am nothing but a live rotting corpse, and a mind that would rather be left behind when all the vandals leave for paradise
I'll fix it all then. . .
or at least pretend |
