Nothing's Goin' Right
Verse one:
There's not much joy now in your life,
With each new day, you're full of dread.
And those you thought were on your side,
Were obviously not cos 'things were said'.
But everyone seems to need your time,
It's putting your sanity on the line.
Few too many understand this plight,
That things ain't definitely working right!
Verse two:
You used to feel like going to work,
Doing a job that gave some pride.
While most of them just walked away,
For you there was no place to hide. ...

FERAL DICKS IN THE YOGA CLASS
Fuck you” to the men
Who eat me with your eyes
Weak minds pretend
That I’m some sort of prize
I’m here for a reason
It’s not what you think
It’s not to squeeze in
To your visions of pink
I’m pounding this body
To make it immune
To your notions of hotties
Who see you and swoon
Your circle jerk logic
Has no quarter here
Let me get pedagogic
And make myself clear
I’m open for business
Your business of course
I’ll have no forgiveness
Stomp you like a horse
Who eat me with your eyes
Weak minds pretend
That I’m some sort of prize
I’m here for a reason
It’s not what you think
It’s not to squeeze in
To your visions of pink
I’m pounding this body
To make it immune
To your notions of hotties
Who see you and swoon
Your circle jerk logic
Has no quarter here
Let me get pedagogic
And make myself clear
I’m open for business
Your business of course
I’ll have no forgiveness
Stomp you like a horse

You Couldn't Kill My Vibe If You Tried
You tried it.
That was cute.
You got under my skin
I’ll give it to you.
But if you try to shoot down
The vibe I ride
You’re gonna need
A couple more reloads.
Bullshit comes in
A lot of different flavors
And has a varied wardrobe.
But it still fucking reeks.
And so does the vitriol
You spew
But it doesn’t hurt me
As much as it does you.
That was cute.
You got under my skin
I’ll give it to you.
But if you try to shoot down
The vibe I ride
You’re gonna need
A couple more reloads.
Bullshit comes in
A lot of different flavors
And has a varied wardrobe.
But it still fucking reeks.
And so does the vitriol
You spew
But it doesn’t hurt me
As much as it does you.

Burning
i burn with anger
i became the danger
i travelled by fire
i had a mask of madness
in this world full of darkness
should i fight along with my sword of recklesness
and wear this armor of stupidity
and slash all of my enemies along with the anger
that will flame for eternity
i became the danger
i travelled by fire
i had a mask of madness
in this world full of darkness
should i fight along with my sword of recklesness
and wear this armor of stupidity
and slash all of my enemies along with the anger
that will flame for eternity

There is a murderous silence
An aspect of anticipation
When starlight plays archery
When thunder and violet sonar
Ride heaven's hearse
There are paws made of snow
With blood in the twillight
A hunter tames sunken sun
There is a murderous breaking
An aspect of history
When a human spoke
An animal hurt (heard)
Shadow tongues break
A sacrimental lie escaped
Into the audience of gods
Wearing venezian masks
His blood is not blue
His veins are not mortal
Stoic hands prey dead rosary beads ...
An aspect of anticipation

A sacrimental lie escaped

Shrouded No More
Your broken words and blatant lies
Use to cut me like a thousand knives
I sit wondering what I did wrong
When it was you who hurt me all along
Your toxic breath soaked with sin
Betrays the monster deep within
Disguised you hide in the form of a friend
And slowly try to make me bend
Your words are venom your tears are tricks
And seeing you makes me physically sick
You manipulate as you please
And get mad when I don’t bend a knee
Your selfish act has destroyed my life
And with an indifferent air, you ignore the strife
My...

The boy who cried wolf - - Haikus 5.3
the boy who cried wolf
hung himself from a tree branch
yet they still didn't care
the boy who cried wolf
he never wore sheep's clothing
was way too risky
the boy who cried wolf
cried tiger, cried bear, cried lion
escaped from the zoo
the boy who cried wolf
became the man who cried wolf
became the wolf man
the boy who cried wolf
told his tail of fire and smoke
as the town burns down
hung himself from a tree branch
yet they still didn't care
the boy who cried wolf
he never wore sheep's clothing
was way too risky
the boy who cried wolf
cried tiger, cried bear, cried lion
escaped from the zoo
the boy who cried wolf
became the man who cried wolf
became the wolf man
the boy who cried wolf
told his tail of fire and smoke
as the town burns down

The boy who cried wolf - - - Haikus 5.2
the boy who cried wolf
should really have cried werewolf
no silver bullets
the boy who cried wolf
as he stroked the dying she wolf
his cried tears, not hers
the boy who cried wolf
licked his balls, scratched then wolf howled
feels deep belonging
the boy who cried wolf
fed up, nobody listened
right! that's it, fuck em
the boy who cried wolf
shot by a half blind farmer
still: There's no more tears
should really have cried werewolf
no silver bullets
the boy who cried wolf
as he stroked the dying she wolf
his cried tears, not hers
the boy who cried wolf
licked his balls, scratched then wolf howled
feels deep belonging
the boy who cried wolf
fed up, nobody listened
right! that's it, fuck em
the boy who cried wolf
shot by a half blind farmer
still: There's no more tears

Let Kangaroos Court
calling all
gloriously designed
judge and jury
lets mete out
perceived slights
of
individually wrapped
synapse firing
disparate morality
with swift
grace and fury
yell fire
in packed
subway
flee
or fight
to perish
or persist
another day
lay down
surrender to
hope , faith, charity
or
accepted mystery
of
ultimate fate
wield
or
fall
on sword
without
reason
thin the herd
release demons
clinging ...
