Asphalt Burning
Haunted kisses of arrogance lost soul
of ecstasy's obsession fading where
once was love's open book
Now just a shadow touching my lips
as if asphalt is burning holes in my heart
and the flowers unearthed
Now withered brush
suffering the absence of the roses
with a distance of the silence
that lies in loneliness
of ecstasy's obsession fading where
once was love's open book
Now just a shadow touching my lips
as if asphalt is burning holes in my heart
and the flowers unearthed
Now withered brush
suffering the absence of the roses
with a distance of the silence
that lies in loneliness

Flags
I see an American flag
and I cringe
An Israeli flag
and I cringe
A British flag
and I cringe
An Australian flag
and I cringe
A Hezbollah, Hamas, Russian flag.
What's the bloody difference.
Flags assist and exist in keeping us all seperate.To reinforce a uniqueness when in fact there are none.Arbitray borders, placed on a map by the powerful,the vengeful,the greedy define nations and the people who live there in.
Burn the flags
Erase the borders
Allow human capital to move around the world as easily as money does. ...

Behind my Mask
Behind my mask that grins and hides
the truths that I am terrified,
though people think I'm speaking clear
tis just my teeth chattering fear
to unbe again a faceless thing no one has eyed...
I didn't Be before arrived
I shan't Be beyond that Great Divide,
when my face wears death's toothy lear
where my blind eyes shed no more tears
Behind my mask.
So I act as if normalised
but see the coming beyond my living...
the truths that I am terrified,
though people think I'm speaking clear
tis just my teeth chattering fear
to unbe again a faceless thing no one has eyed...
I didn't Be before arrived
I shan't Be beyond that Great Divide,
when my face wears death's toothy lear
where my blind eyes shed no more tears
Behind my mask.
So I act as if normalised
but see the coming beyond my living...

Silenced Violence
I didn’t know grief had a sound, until it echoed in the silence after the gunshot.
How could something so final, so brutal, happen so fast?
The tears felt so heavy but were pointless. Nothing could remove your bloodstain in the dirt.
I screamed at the ground, but the earth didn’t care,
So, I cursed at the heavens demanding he be spared.
The truth is we stand in a shooting range, and no one even flinches when the bullets start flying.
As kids play on the playground, which would soon be their graveyard.
Like bodies hitting the ground is just background...

The things we need to do
These are the things we need to do in America:
Stop working for and buying from evil- this will take what some might call sacrifice, but we might call responsibility. Affecting bank accounts and profits is the only to change some minds.
Start working for, buying from, and otherwise contributing to your community in as many ways as you can: volunteer, donate, bake and give locally and directly. Remove government, beaurocrocy and waste from what you give to and take from others.
Violence might help the process, but cannot stabilize us afterwards.

don't twist the knife
I won't forgive you for this
save the guilt trips
for your own personal relationships
the only thing we've ever shared
is DNA and 15 years
living under the same roof
You don't know me
and I don't know you
but I know what kind of man you are
and it's not one I'll be keeping around
for potential good times
When the dust settles on this
sliver of our lives
I don't expect to see you again
I don't know why you never
really loved me
with the same heartache
I loved you with
and...

lack of appetite
this is faint-astic
and in-cunt-prehensible
way out of the real cap a city
give some room
to the space extent range
in the scope of a hole sun of a compass
sorry, no pun intended...
die, motherfucker, die.

Human Filth
There is nothing special
about human beings
we've raped the earth
the future is fleeting
We fight over bullshit
and make more new laws
living in denial
ignoring the cause
Beliefs are like opinions
We each have one and their all toxic
Obese specimens wasting air & water
mouth breathing morons
consuming and breeding
not wearing condoms
Carrying capacity
is far exceeded
a global extinction
that's what is needed
Can you handle this?

Drowning in Depravity
you want to be an artist
and be taken more serious
sorry, that's just not the world we live in
you want attention
all you have to do is show more skin
bust out those tits
pop that ass out
because nothing fucking matters
nothing fucking matters N E more
and if you're wondering
what I'll be up to
while the world burns
I think I'll be
drowning myself
in depravity
there's no heaven
when we live in hell
sheeps with their red hats
being lead to the slaughter
and it makes me laugh ...

Refuse, Resist
Gov't officials see a bright future ahead
The poor will no longer exist
Drive these people out of their homes
Increase their rent, please try & resist
Isolate them like you once did in Harlem
Ghettos without prison walls
If they revolt, cops smash their heads
Or spray mace into their eyeballs
Breakdown the walls that kept us segregated
No time like the present time
Take out the ruling class
No one in life should get a free pass
The poor will no longer exist
Drive these people out of their homes
Increase their rent, please try & resist
Isolate them like you once did in Harlem
Ghettos without prison walls
If they revolt, cops smash their heads
Or spray mace into their eyeballs
Breakdown the walls that kept us segregated
No time like the present time
Take out the ruling class
No one in life should get a free pass

Monsanto, the World & GMO's
You study, manipulate, you control, you create , you impose...
You study, manipulate, you control, you create, you impose, on the world
Biotechnology and manipulation of the living are a good way to improve your financial power,
We know the effects of genetically modified products on the lives of human beings
Development of diseases which are immune to antibiotics
Transferring animal genes into plants
Cross-pollination methods can cause damage to other organisms that thrive in the environment
You want us to be depending
But we don't want to...
