Being Profane
I have nothing to gain by being profane. It's something, inherited from the dark of my obscenity. Or was it, Mrs. O'Leary's cow! As I hunger for my own definition of success. Perhaps, I need more octane. Maybe, something blue in my life. Strep throat would be nice, to go along with my sins. How does one measure success with a yardstick? When the ties that bind me are in my mind. Tied up in a johnny coat, sipping a Prozac martini.

MAGA is The Kraken
Politicians
beneath her feet
power brokers have
the mere strength of
a watch battery
to her blazing
thermonuclear
reactions
firefighters
cannot extinguish
this blazing truth
while Twitter
roars like a dragon
her enemies
overclock their mental
until gears spring loose
Yet they cannot
stop her ruthless
hunting of
their treasured monster
She is released
upon the crooked
Feel her fury
beneath her feet
power brokers have
the mere strength of
a watch battery
to her blazing
thermonuclear
reactions
firefighters
cannot extinguish
this blazing truth
while Twitter
roars like a dragon
her enemies
overclock their mental
until gears spring loose
Yet they cannot
stop her ruthless
hunting of
their treasured monster
She is released
upon the crooked
Feel her fury

hey
are you well now, love
do you see what i see
in this hole that you've dug
in this dream that you dream
are you resting now
sitting tight on your throne
hard pressed to notice
shallow knicks in your bones
catch it
catch up with the idea
that i am not finite.
not the end of a sentence
not an arrow on your moral compass
i am fire
raging for the oxygen you're inhaling
compete with me
for i will take your flesh
and your breath
and leave ashes for the god's to witness

Enjoy the Silence.
I dont mean to get irate when you're asking me questions
When I'm sectioning thoughts
Visiting new dimensions
But im reading a book weaved by my imagination
Thinking of various scenarios
Following intricate machinations
There may be two or three concepts grinding inside of my head
I'll pause one and continue another thought as it makes progress
I may seem stoic or that im not paying attention
But to get angry with my lack of response is simply contentious
I am no dancing monkey here to entertain
When I create it is...
When I'm sectioning thoughts
Visiting new dimensions
But im reading a book weaved by my imagination
Thinking of various scenarios

There may be two or three concepts grinding inside of my head

cutting people off
i feel so exhausted
i feel so haunted
don't have the energy no more
you're no good for my core
I'm cutting off people one by one
those who don't serve as good energy for me 1 2 3 you're gone
i don't like being this blunt
i try to be nice I'm not fake this is not a stunt
i think I'm better off alone
instead of dealing with drama, i stay to myself at home
there are some who talk to me when they need something
they never ask how I'm doing or there...

Oct 19 Only The Blind Can See
Only the blind can see
You're an asshole but it's alright now
It's okay to flaunt it
In secret
A secret only for those that dare not
Because you're hot
Attractiveness gives way for the ugly things within
What has been bubbling inside will come
At short bursts in different times
A sprinkle for each so no one will notice
The monster you feed in your closet
A closet that opens to those that come close
Foolishly lured into your false beauty
All those beware of vanity
Take a closer look
Before you're consumed
Ask...
You're an asshole but it's alright now

At short bursts in different times
A sprinkle for each so no one will notice
The monster you feed in your closet
A closet that opens to those that come close
Foolishly lured into your false beauty
All those beware of vanity
Take a closer look

at the hospital
At the hospital
I had an appointment
It appears my kidney is in a bad shape
Due to my diabetes.
Leaving with this glad tiding
I went the wrong way out
And was brutally stopped by a Nazi guard.
I pushed back
And we ended up in a fight
it was stopped by my nurse
Who whispered something in his ear?
He let go.
I needed a pee, he wouldn´t tell me
Where the toilet was
The revenge of the small people.
I took my penis out ready to pee on the floor.
They hastily showed me the loo.
The guard said: don´t be so...

River of Denial
People dying
Still denying
They've got Covid
It doesn't exist they say
With their dying breath
We can add another death
We watch the hospitals fill
Till they start to spill
And they say
We've turned the corner
Deaths pile up
So do the mourners
Zealots are all in
They bought
into the spin
They are so sure
That their President
Couldn't be beat
If he doesn't win
Someone had to cheat
The river of denial
It flows pretty fast
You can fight against the current
But you...
Still denying
They've got Covid
It doesn't exist they say
With their dying breath
We can add another death
We watch the hospitals fill
Till they start to spill
And they say
We've turned the corner
Deaths pile up
So do the mourners
Zealots are all in
They bought
into the spin
They are so sure
That their President
Couldn't be beat
If he doesn't win
Someone had to cheat
The river of denial
It flows pretty fast
You can fight against the current

Let My People Go
You’d think it
was 2,500
years in the past
Parting the
sea of Red
escaping via
our great land
baptism of
The People
Spirit risen
over you
from the East
to the West
flashing bright
one request
let my people
be free at last
was 2,500
years in the past
Parting the
sea of Red
escaping via
our great land
baptism of
The People
Spirit risen
over you
from the East
to the West
flashing bright
one request
let my people
be free at last

Republicans Have Turned Into Snowflakes
I was an Independent leaning Republican
But that was before Trump
I could see he was a crook
It makes my heart ache
Republicans have turned into Snowflakes
I'm not sure when it happened
I remember when that's what they called Dems
Said the Democrats governed by their 'feelings'
Now Republicans don't accept 'facts'
They believe every conspiracy
Won't admit when they're proved wrong
Because they say the conspiracies 'felt right'
It makes my heart ache
Republicans have turned into Snowflakes
...

Leftover Humans (With A Bucket & A Mop)
Try and explain to your peers that the world is sick... we're living in the face of fear being shoved down our literal throats... when will everyone start to choke on the words your no longer allowed to utter... now you just stutter on its wretched taste... it makes me wonder if their even noticing that our freedoms and liberties are being erased and replaced by the machine... a machine that can't even breathe... you now trust with your life... this knife runs right across the neck of nature and everything held sacred within is beginning to bleed out... a cyborg deplored on the conciousness...
