Why?
You choose this life
You choose what is away all the same
You swap out for a different pain
The kind you never wanted
Why?
You do this to yourself
You made the choice of chaos
You bent your knee and made this reality
I am to blame for many of these steps
Blame me
You tell yourself it's okay
You make it seem plain as day
You love what you love and try to ignore the pain
The type that makes your blood boil
Distract yourself.
You allow insults and privacy derailed
You allow hate spewed to no avail ...

Liquid Fire
When I looked into your eyes
I stood frozen, mystified
Dumbfounded, shocked and surprised
I couldn’t help but see
All the women who came before me
Your bruises on full display
Your wounds unhealed today
I wanted to stand proudly
Glorified
In your eyes
But you were guarded
The key to your heart lost to me
Like a buried treasure at sea
And my love
The love you once held dear
Then placed on a pedestal
Lay crumbled beneath your feet
Matching the tattered ruins
Of all the women you’ve left...

The Harvest
It is said
There are people
Who are like
Factory mushrooms
Who like
Being kept in the Dark
Being fed on Bullshit
Until the harvest
When their brought
Into the Light
Where Reality waits
With a Bat
Where their Screaming
Begins

Diving In
Anger and aggression arrived at the pool today as I was getting in to do some laps.
A man ( by gender only) accompanied by his pregnant partner and infant child became incensed when someone in the walking lane told them that the other pools were for parents with toddlers.
The language he used was foul,insulting and mysoginstic and repeated over and over so that all within earshot could hear.
At first I thought, as most would, that he was an utter toss pot but as I swam the black line I considered other things.
I wondered where his anger came from.Was he taught by example...

The Honey of Mortal Blessings
Ugly swine, glad your not mine
Spit the apple into your eye
This dirty piggy never made it home
The lords helper, ran for shelter
Couldn't escape the boiling swelter
Pulverize you like the sheep you are
Oh man I could destroy you if i wanted
Murder you with my own two hands
Oh man I'd be so fucking happy
Murder you like a sacrificial lamb
You are nothing but a scared animal
Branded "A Coward" right on your back
A sight so divine, a sight so prime
Numerous ways to skin a cat
All sliced up ...

I'll Play That Fiddle For You
As odd as it may seem
This reality is only a dream
Like millions of insects freezing to death
Sociopath is my mathematics
The final answer is zero
C'mon, you'd love to be the superhero
The processed foods of your labors
Have decayed into disease
And the sweat you are dripping
Is the milk you consume with ease
Pick the peddles off of my flower
I'll reveal the lies you told during the last hour
Your passion is sour
My control is power
This reality is only a dream
Like millions of insects freezing to death
Sociopath is my mathematics
The final answer is zero
C'mon, you'd love to be the superhero
The processed foods of your labors
Have decayed into disease
And the sweat you are dripping
Is the milk you consume with ease
Pick the peddles off of my flower
I'll reveal the lies you told during the last hour
Your passion is sour
My control is power

My Anger is Black
Nothingness begets nothingness
A never ending spiral of bleak matter
You gaze into the void of me
Peering over the edge
Watch yourself
You may be drawn in
Evilness
Death
Sin
Take your pick
It’s where I’ve ended and began again
Cursed and haunted
My cracked soul
Broken
Bloodied
Tormented
Brought me to my knees
Hello Darkness, my old friend
A never ending spiral of bleak matter
You gaze into the void of me
Peering over the edge
Watch yourself
You may be drawn in
Evilness
Death
Sin
Take your pick
It’s where I’ve ended and began again
Cursed and haunted
My cracked soul
Broken
Bloodied
Tormented
Brought me to my knees
Hello Darkness, my old friend

The Truth Will f**k You Dry
If you could disappear, I'd be a happy man
What does not kill you, only makes you much more vulnerable for the next time
Take a huge bite of my psychotic addiction
Come a little closer, I'll knife you in the kitchen
Consequences and truth led to your conviction
Trial made up of errors, another crucifixion
Eat it whole
Guzzle it down
Vomit it up
Fuck the ground
The enemy is within you
Kiss your ass, as you are your only friend
What does not kill you, only makes you much more vulnerable for the next time
Take a huge bite of my psychotic addiction

Guzzle it down
Vomit it up
Fuck the ground
The enemy is within you
Kiss your ass, as you are your only friend

9 yr old environmentalist
Tryin to control and spray the lantern flys
Doing her part with help from Tik tok
Made up a mix to get rid of them
Dish soap n apple vinegar
Sprayed on the trees and sidewalk
Now this is where the bigotry seeps in
Man calls 911 said some little black woman
Was causing a stir
Said he doesn’t know what hell she’s doing
Scares him though
Mom went to a council hearing
Said she doesn’t want to label
But she’s black and a mom
Wants to share point of view
Man...

nothing stays mine
Whatever i do,
however i do
It is never enough.
No perfect family,
no perfect love,
I did think I had my own person,
God never did.
I wish to live in my own world?
or was i forced to?
I never knew.
Have you ever seen scars on wrists?
or semi-colons in life?
you didn't, i see,
why don't you meet me?
I don't want love, i don't need care.
I'm all alone, i just need some air.
Even if i get someone, I always know
They are destined to let go.

IT Stays On
Morning grey
Is gonna be the day
When it all comes back to you
Some how
You've realised
What you're gotta do
You now don't believe
In Anything
That is said to you
Anymore
You gotta leave
You've gotta clean your head
Find your own
Polnt of view
IF you stay
Your gonna Pay
In way's you can't Conceive
THEY will say
Anything
For you
to stay
But the leash stays on
Until
your in your grave
But lately
I found the one that saves me ...
