f**kers!
Someone stole something from someone
Brilliant but troubled
The music played on
Brilliant but troubled

WEAPONS MUST BE BANNED!
Continued tragic events necessitate the banning of all things which may be weaponized by humans to kill other humans. ALL these items MUST be banned; if one or only a few are banned, psychopaths will resort to the next proven alternative! ** PLEASE REALIZE HOW SARCASTIC THIS IS MEANT TO BE.
Here is a partial list of weapons for an immediate ban implementation:
All guns, rifles and shooting devices:
This is an all too obvious choice.
All chemicals:
Many may be compounded to produce Cyanide, Sarin, Chlorine, Phosgenes, acids and numerous poisons...

Wedding Bells
A thousand weddings to go through, makes me want to elope.
Thought I wanted to be the bridesmaid when I don't even like the bride.
Her life's been one big wedding.
Perfect this, perfect that, mediocre husband.
She can never do wrong if she says it's wrong.
Bells are ringing in Hell.
Thought I wanted to be the bridesmaid when I don't even like the bride.
Her life's been one big wedding.
Perfect this, perfect that, mediocre husband.
She can never do wrong if she says it's wrong.
Bells are ringing in Hell.

Socrates put to death

for promoting morals

pupils Plato, Aristotle,
pick up his lead,

but at present day,
millenniums away,
we repel their legitimacy,
why can’t we learn..
why don’t we love..
why embrace inequality
africans kids are crying
middle eastern babes dying,
in the US they’re getting shot down
in the street,
no need compassion,
corrupt men can’t see,

Forbidden
Most people have always been taught to fear the dark rather than to embrace it
In the modern day this causes controversy
Some no longer even desire to ponder upon
For it is still considered forbidden
As fear even keeps kindred spirits hidden
Those black hands touching that white skin
No surprise when the rules originate from a male stale pale source
Wielding this cruel callous authority in places far and wide
Showing boundless love to the near and dear
Whose natural masks from birth they wear ever so clear
Unbelievably true some may say ...
In the modern day this causes controversy
Some no longer even desire to ponder upon

No surprise when the rules originate from a male stale pale source

Showing boundless love to the near and dear
Whose natural masks from birth they wear ever so clear
Unbelievably true some may say ...

HOW?!
How can one encourage others
when discouraged themselves?
How can one preach about heaven
when living in hell?
How can we fulfill our destinies
when we're dying in the streets?
How can we feel like winners while being dinners at predators' feast?
when discouraged themselves?

The Spin Doctor
The lady doesn't share
she doesn't give it away
to the first one who
says he cares
The words may be sweet
but I'm not like a cat in heat
In case you didn't notice
I do have a brain
but that's not
what you're interested in
you want one who is
fickle, one who will
tickle your fantasies
so I won't fall for the one whose words are cleverly spun
Stay away from the spin doctors ( not the band)
she doesn't give it away
to the first one who
says he cares
The words may be sweet
but I'm not like a cat in heat
In case you didn't notice
I do have a brain
but that's not
what you're interested in
you want one who is
fickle, one who will
tickle your fantasies
so I won't fall for the one whose words are cleverly spun
Stay away from the spin doctors ( not the band)

grass clippers
Silent grass clippers
Why must lawn movers make such a noise?
Why do people with a garden seek to make an outdoor carpet?
Why people seek to make lawns look like an arrested childhood?
We can understand football stadiums, the ball runs faster
and the players do not stub their delicate feet on mature grass.
One day grass will give up growing turn into sand pits a place
For children to build sandcastles.
as big signs telling us not to walk on the grass?
This is not nature but humans trying to tame the natural world.

God Mod[e]
Rather than being warrior
with your own Poetry, you [c]opt out
choosing to be a schoolyard bully
and lazy babble rabble layabout
when battling Religion's rhetorics
incapable of mining the metal
for carefully forged [s]words
Snakes in the grass
shedding ethics in similar fashion
if not faster through Politics
---just another recipe for disaster;
weapons in the wrong hands
welded together and wielded
become the stuff of madness
and we've had enough of this
shit; what's not a broken system ...

It's Your Fault
Are you
Close
to becoming
Undone
surrounded
by those thoughts
from the Past
Building shadows
to haunt You
with blame
that was
never yours
to Claim
Insidious
are those thoughts
that keep whipping you
with Emotional
Pain
Pain
that was never yours
to claim
as your stagger
to the edge
of your Life
Those who Care
silently stare
in Despair
watching you
Fade
into the pain
that was never yours
To...

Sociopath
You get joy getting
your way
You like to destroy,
Having you around
Is like a serpent
twisting
constricting
squeezing
every drop of
life force
from your prey
Your green eyes
are showing
but you're not done yet
You haven't rid this
place of every
decent thing left
your way
You like to destroy,
Having you around
Is like a serpent
twisting
constricting
squeezing
every drop of
life force
from your prey
Your green eyes

You haven't rid this
place of every
