Too Big a Storm To See, You See?
tempest typhoon, thunderhead armies,
seismic quakes, torn-through parties,
rumble roaring, rising actions,
hungry flames, aggressive ashes,
choking breathes, muted larynx screams,
metal crashing, unstable dreams,
begging symphonies, silent audience,
wan fists, heartless defense,
acid tears, callous cards,
tornado dances, crashing charred,
pleading hands, twisted trees,
rancor whispers, forgotten glee.
seismic quakes, torn-through parties,

Prodigal Son
The prodigal son runs the streets with a gun
Defiant and violent; not listening to anyone
He's young, dumb and misguided by his peers
Who've seen carnage way beyond their years
Tattoo tears starting to appear on their faces
Wear & tear's bringing insurmountable cases
Space is condensed behind barbwired fences
Public defenders provide minimal defenses
The smallest offense getting 'em sents of life
Born in the jungle, he tried to juggle his strife
No sound advice provided before strike three
Now his vice is...
Defiant and violent; not listening to anyone
He's young, dumb and misguided by his peers
Who've seen carnage way beyond their years
Tattoo tears starting to appear on their faces
Wear & tear's bringing insurmountable cases
Space is condensed behind barbwired fences
Public defenders provide minimal defenses
The smallest offense getting 'em sents of life
Born in the jungle, he tried to juggle his strife
No sound advice provided before strike three
Now his vice is...

Visual poem. I would have eaten the face off of God and Catholicism, then ditched the boredom of church services.
Violate these commandments, break them happily or at least break those that do not involve harming OTHER people. The whole thing is an outdated mess The "first commandment" was explicitly directed at Women.

“Mind Their Business“ ... Written By Big Virge 30/11/2019
Man ... Can I Get A Witness ... ?!?
Cos It Seems That Some People ...
Just Do Not Know How To ...
... Mind Their Business ... !!!
As If They Can See ...
Through The Eye of MY Needle ...
Needle ... As In ...
My Resorting To Sin ...
Because of The Cheek ...
of These IGNORANT Peeps ... !!!
They’d Best Stay OFF My Course ...
Before I Enforce A War That Ensures ...
That They Cannot Resort ...
To Anything More Than Holding Their Jaws ... !!!

There Are Worse Things Than Psychosis
So I assumed my whispers of darkness was the worst it would get.
But conniving tricks of these women, God on my nerves they grit.
I work through the thick walls of hate they've spewed around me.
Though their negativity quickly envelopes and surrounds me.
I've never wished to be alone with the monsters and voices.
But to be drowning in this animosity I'm left with so few choices.
No, I don't believe I'm quite that dramatic
If you listened to this shit, it'd be just as problematic.
My chakras unbalanced, and my minds untethered.
My brain...

Anger
I’m just so frustrated for no good reason
I feel like I’m not being productive
But when I try to be, I can’t get anything done
It makes me angry that I’m angry
And nothing seems to be helping
I want to punch something so bad
I was perfectly fine yesterday
Feeling good and like I have most things figured out
But today, I’m stuck in my own head
Frustrated over nothing
Feeling like shit
It’s a feeling I get every so often
But can never explain well
The urge to punch something is strong
Just to get the anger and frustration out
I feel like I’m not being productive
But when I try to be, I can’t get anything done
It makes me angry that I’m angry
And nothing seems to be helping
I want to punch something so bad
I was perfectly fine yesterday
Feeling good and like I have most things figured out
But today, I’m stuck in my own head
Frustrated over nothing
Feeling like shit
It’s a feeling I get every so often
But can never explain well
The urge to punch something is strong
Just to get the anger and frustration out

ACROBATICS
I have no tolerance for stress”
You tell me in the morning
As if it it were clothes
You neatly folded
And I’m the drawer
You are putting them in
Only the clothes are everywhere
Just like the dishes
And food no one is eating
“I have no tolerance for stress”
You text me on my lunch break
I did some cleanup
You said we were fighting
You needed presence
Now you need distance
Checking out on me
In these last desperate days
Before I get my severance
“I have no tolerance for stress”
I imagine...
You tell me in the morning
As if it it were clothes
You neatly folded
And I’m the drawer
You are putting them in
Only the clothes are everywhere
Just like the dishes
And food no one is eating
“I have no tolerance for stress”
You text me on my lunch break
I did some cleanup
You said we were fighting
You needed presence
Now you need distance
Checking out on me
In these last desperate days
Before I get my severance

Fingertips
Did you feel it
The shame of what you did?
I did
I wished I bit my tongue.
Did you feel the wrongness,
That you had no right-
I did
I wished I’d “minded my own business.”
Did you know
The way your action spread hatred?
I did
I didn’t want to hurt your feelings.
Were you embarrassed?
When I said “that’s not okay”
I was.
I wished I could disappear.
Did you really think
Linger on your own words?
I did
I thought you might be right
(Was I being too sensitive-?)
Did you regret your actions ...

Emasculated
Copper lay upon his closed eyes
Index to bound lips
A solemn shush
No widow cries
The morning comes and light rises all the same
His legacy is carved in stone, just a name to mark a fresh grave
Subdued as a boy, now a man to avoid
Haunted by stolen years he barely survived
Unable to process newfound feelings
Forever two steps behind and drowning
To entertain an illusion of safety he must silence himself
Refrain from sharing his mind and crawl back inside
Too confused to experience new senses beyond his comprehension ...

Unable to process newfound feelings
Forever two steps behind and drowning

Institutionalized
Institutionalized,
A narrative sown in history
Has branches growing back
Some several thousand years
As humans started keeping track,
And a wise man once said
“You better learn or else you’re doomed,
"Repeating ancient history
"Kinda like my Moody Blues.”
So here we are,
It’s the current year;
Another catastrophe...
