Over and over
sometimes,
in the search for pleasure,
everything we find
It's a bucket full of shit.
and the sewer of feelings
runs like a river of lava
and nothing washes the insides
of the one I thought I loved.
and the torrential rain in free fall
like piss in sweet urinals
no care, no cleanliness... with no body.
and the bread that the devil kneaded
and the hand that no one held like that
and the blood, flows, flows... the blood
apparently the blood runs into the river.
sometimes after much searching ...

A broken system
Broken families.. dark days
Traumatic experience.. delayed response
Underfunded services.. no help today
Who do you turn to on these dark days
Lost lives.. quiet cries
Murmurs abound.. silent sounds
No money, no gains
You’re out of options
Times are hard.. in or out of court
Everyone’s trying to survive
You’re not important.. just a number on a list
Pressures are mounting
Details disclosed.. confidence breached
Hushed accusations.. walking on eggshells
Disassociate from the situation ...

Rage
An overboiling kettle,
Scalding metal,
Molten lava melting all it touches,
Don't fucking touch me,
for the love of God please.
As rage rushes like Vesuvius,
Let it all pour out my love.
Grandiose power drawn from roman deities,
Psychosis in the melancholy,
Pain and love my dichotomy.
A sharp inhale, clutching at air
"I can't breathe"
Scared i'll drown in my own fury.
They can see what they are doing,
Polluting the essence of your being
Yet watch me disregard the intuitive
feelings...

String Instruments
What's the point of so many rhythmic lines?...
Row, rhyme and rum
They are just waves in the same sea.
Seagull murmurs
like someone singing a fado or two
or it will come to sing much later.
Arrange drawers, sticks and prints
from left to right in an order
almost alphabetical.
Unhinged fairies blessing the sound
of a lute, a guitar and a banjo.
Without wings, without bones, like angels!
Pain descriptive nonconformities
that passes through the brain shamelessly
Bloodlust of a dark predator.

Military Madness
Look into my eyes
I’m a human guinea pig
Born to be controlled
Forced into experimentation
I have no name
No words that mean anything
A little each day,
Psycho & possessed into a state
War inside my head
I can feel the pain
Can you?
I’m a human guinea pig
Born to be controlled
Forced into experimentation
I have no name
No words that mean anything
A little each day,
Psycho & possessed into a state
War inside my head
I can feel the pain
Can you?

Such a bitch
On a Tuesday
My soul was crushed
Smashed into dust
Skin turned to rust
She ripped out my spirit
A bitch, and she knew it
You look away for one minute
Pushed past your limit
Such a radiant beast
Yet you’ll be her feast
You are her meat
Forever deceased
Don’t be deceived by her hair
At her locks you must tear
For a daily fight I prepare
Her presence, I truly can’t bare
On my nerves does she grate
A person one can only hate
On my mind is a weight
In her grasps...

Shut Up and Read
Are you aware of the facts?
Racist fucking lies
Government is corrupt
Earth born Genocide
Do you truly give a fuck?
Society's ultimate demise
Warning before we deconstruct
Authorities killing minorities
So much useless crime
Who's serving the time?
Your told to obey these fools
You coward in the shadows
You act more like a pack of mules

Women’s Rights
A zygote is a person
you say
In or out of the womb
God’s creation
you decree
So has rights!
Already a person
Until they are born
[a woman]
then
rights dissolve
[because its a woman]
A woman’s rights are now
dictated
by
another’s religion
Rapist’s conceptions
have more rights
[than the woman]
A fetus that won’t live
has more rights
[than the woman]
A baby, dying in the womb
has more rights
[than the woman who grieves and may die for the life...

WHEN IT RAINS IT POURS
Here I sit in my recliner with my silence of my thoughts, 🤔 for it is in these moments of lost time. WHEN I go back in time and I remember, what my grandfather use to say to me. For you will have to be your most strongest to learn, more about the establishment of life. That being trapped in a dark place for when it rains it pours, and it seems almost in possible to get out of the rain ☔☔🤨. For sometimes you just feel like giving up and you ask thyself what is the point, for it feels like the world is against you ever step you take in life. For I know I just have to...

Puberty
The rights
Of natural passage
Will be denied
To all
Of our young
And those
Who have passed through it
Will be
The last
Of your kind

State of Mind
If one does not
Grow
Imagination
Empathy
Intuition
Then one is
Psychologically
Naked
In a field
Of competing fractions
Where they will
Look at You
As Prey
