“TO CONTROL UNREST”
That is the reason
they are giving for escalating
things with guns-
the notional guard-
as if we should rest in this
time of wicked acts,
as if that is the
independence signed off on
so many years ago.

A Note From a Special Adviser
Don’t think of my journey, my secret escape,
My rush to the country despite the red tape,
Driving my car like a half-rabid ape.
This special adviser’s a keeper.
Don’t think of my silence when Ferguson fell,
The gaps in the story my wife chose to tell,
Whilst knowing that I had been selfish as hell,
Ignoring the graph getting steeper.
I merely left town without telling the boss,
The Cabinet Sec. or the junior dross.
Missing her birthday would make my wife cross,
Don’t forget I’m a terrible creeper.
Forget that our...

Targeted
This anger, it builds and rises internally.
This pressure it fills, it's visit concerning me.
My strength has diminished, and weakens my cause.
I won't act till it's finished, i'll prove it as false.
My peace has been tainted, I yearn to explode,
this picture you've painted is not what I own.
How do I contain it, how much do you see?
I cannot explain it, but it's targeted me.
This pressure it fills, it's visit concerning me.
My strength has diminished, and weakens my cause.
I won't act till it's finished, i'll prove it as false.
My peace has been tainted, I yearn to explode,
this picture you've painted is not what I own.
How do I contain it, how much do you see?
I cannot explain it, but it's targeted me.

Snap back.
The cycle keeps me in this loop of meaningless repetition. years of getting up with a smile on my face full of teeth I would rather sink into some flesh.
Yeah, yeah, I heard you for the seventh time today now fuck off. Why do I even speak to this garden gnome?
Open the doors to meet the public that could care less about each other. A eye full of artificial lights that supply me with no warmth.
On lockdown before the lockdown with my head filled with a need to break out of this hell.
Talking heads with no brains screaming in my ear for...

It’s How-to Throw it All Away
Be a Peter-Pan
only inner child
Every hello let
disdain be
your chief refrain
Tonight it’s how
I cooked the rice
There’s only
one right way
To ask - do not
even try to be nice
Do not ask
what’s going on...
Do not give
a chance to
self-correct
and fawn....
Be the angry man
at everything
Blame and game
and get it on
Why apologize?
Why...
only inner child
Every hello let
disdain be
your chief refrain
Tonight it’s how
I cooked the rice
There’s only
one right way
To ask - do not
even try to be nice
Do not ask
what’s going on...
Do not give
a chance to
self-correct

silence speaks...
silence rang the bell that day
a hollow broken sound
torn forlorn from begging throat
hard pressed
between desperation
and aspect most unforgiving
yet another cry gone unheeded
darkness claims another light
as hatred's brush paints a sudden void
where once breathed tones of vibrant life
stunned pause
...before the storm
a rise of red now sweeps the screen
so weary of fighting what should never have been
sick & tired
furious
but unsurprised
why does this keep happening? ...

The Cowboy List
I know we’re all different
We have various personalities and experiences
We come from diverse backgrounds and environments
And that when we work together as a team
With a common goal
We should always have respect for one another
Everyone pulls their own weight
Some more than others
Some less
Some a lot less
Some not all
But the latter two of the lines above can make my cowboy list
Everyone should be pleasant and outgoing
Some are very cheerful
Some not so much
Some should just stay the fuck home

Skinny Jeans
What kind of guy wears skinny jeans
Certainly not a man by any means
Following a trend like women do
A lumberjack beard and a gay hairdo
Wearing stupid gear from a bygone age
But every single one of you look the same
You're certainly not special just look around
You look like every other douche' in town
And all you punks with tattoo sleeves
You can't hide your skinny arms from me
And just because you watch a little MMA
Won't stop me from taking your woman away
And thank God above the Man Bun’s gone
That hairstyle was just plain...

a more enviable risk
twas
once
to live
among men
was to unite
against savages
in the benevolence
of human kindness
now the absolute powers
of absolute fools
make living
among savages
a more enviable risk
than dwelling in this jungle
of inhuman blindness

Rumbles In The Jungles
Many choose to slumber as the thunder rumbles in the sky
As the system continues to blunder under America's watchful eye
Do doves cry when timber is tendered by a lumberjack
Garnering more empathy & energy than those considered black
Those who've been under attack since Jack & Jill went up the hill
Whose votes & Bible quotes won't stop them from being killed
Unable to heal & still feel like refugees on their own land
Where the sprees stay on repeat like videos on demand
Goddamn; even during a pandemic this bullshit...
