mental shackles
There is little hope for us until we become tough-minded enough to
break loose from the shackles of prejudice, half-truths, and down-
right ignorance.”—Martin Luther King, Jr.
zoot scales fell from my eyes,
but i did not yet know
that light was mine, if only i would look;
brute chains fell from my thighs,
yet i did not know how
to move along where, years, no step i took.
when sighted men fall blind
by willful ignorance,
then shall all else, for vision-lack, bear blame?

Friday night.
She sways the winds of winter
Of glass frostem
From lake blue
In ocean white ice
Greek island
Often do you think about
Just feel better soon as you posted.

Methadone My Lady (It’s Free)
You have bowed enough to a man, get up off your knees
At..at.. what is Hades’ magic word, and it ain’t please
Until you remember it get back down on all fours until the sun eclipses the moon at ninety degrees
You came into my realm to seek that ultimate high
What are you willing to sacrifice besides your worthless life
It's nothing more sickening than a mother who leaves a wild child to the wolves tossed out like trash in the wind
An undeveloped brain that cannot compute in the real world, drop the act, blue-eyed devil, I...

Bet Your Bottom Dollar
Twist the knife deeper darlin
I don't feel your prick
you dig and don't touch the scars you left
Lingering in the shadows
with darkness sickness
invading the semblance of normalcy
with your fallic symbolism
Little boy with mommy issues
can't take the heat have to blame everyone else
for your family neurocy
Pick up a blade now and cut me
I'm prepared for more than you have to offer
I've loved you blindly
I loved your family
you think to inherit
you money grubber
Keep your...

Where I live
Used to be a farmer
Used to till the ground
Now my tractor's silent
I can faintly here the sound
That memory of my father
As I sat on his knee
While he taught me the value
Of the planted seed
Used to be a milkman
I used to be your friend
I used to be something
I'll never be again
Used to be a teacher
Used to mentor kids ...
Used to till the ground
Now my tractor's silent
I can faintly here the sound
That memory of my father
As I sat on his knee

Used to be a milkman

I used to be something
I'll never be again

Thrive
Razor blade moves across my skin
I’m bleeding sin
When it comes to harm I bought the farm
Here we go again
Cigarette burns are on my arms
Don’t be alarmed
I grew up in the school of pain
A father’s charm
Long sleeve shirts in the summer
Quite the bummer
To think I thought I loved that fuck
Could I be dumber
Being awkward in the school days
Meant hell to pay
Bullies are just like balloons
Pop them and they go away
Hey it’s all good cause I survived
Yup I’m still alive
Middle...

Joker
select the vision
I'll tear you to pieces
you want my man
you can have him broken
little scar weeping poison
manipulating in the shadows
using sex as a weapon
girls stick together
don't they?
with a hole big enough to scatter
all the light you swallow
you're not desired or wanted
filthy little beast
with a long reach
digging in your pockets
for that one trick pony
I'll tear you to pieces
you want my man
you can have him broken
little scar weeping poison
manipulating in the shadows
using sex as a weapon

He
Quiet he has now become
after talking for a bloody week straight
brooding in the stillness
silent as darkness never speaks
words left to the speechless
an apology never heard
how quiet he has become
I hear only the faint chirping of a bird.
after talking for a bloody week straight
brooding in the stillness
silent as darkness never speaks

A Liar
The thing I detest truly seriously undeniably
Is an individual that can lie effortlessly
Lying just to be...
Lying just to me...
Lying just to keep..
Lying so deeply
They don't know it inevitably
Turns the one they're lying to into an enemy...
Not knowing
Not realizing
Not innerstanding
All the repercussions
All the destructions
All the stressings
It's only causing...
And determinedly
They keep on elaborating
To the lies that have already
Been exposed by ones truthfully
Trying to get me to see and...
Is an individual that can lie effortlessly

Velvet Gloves
Does one not
Understand
In this system
That we
Live In
Crying like children
For Change
To be
Human Minded
Honest
Now day and Age
One must have
A fist
In a velvet glove
TO live
To survive
Or we will become
A dying breed
Controlled
Limited
Violence
Don't you see
IT is this
Or Slavery
