Look the Other Way
So tell me, what in the actual fuck is the difference between now and then?
Is it the clothes, the colors, the styles or the barb wired fence?
Is this the criminal element they speak about on the news?
ICE is the new cold old Gestapo, rounding them up like they did Jews.
Can someone please explain to me how laws have no moral compass
Treating kids with atrociousness while many just look the other way?
The land of the free sounds like a dream sold to souls with injustice,
To those without means, seeking a new place to stay and be safe.
Seriously, whatever happened kindness and humanity?
People are escaping their homelands because some are in danger,
In search for a better life they flee from all the insanity,
Only to be locked up and treated like animals because they’re strangers?
“Oh but there is a proper way to do things because we have laws”
Fuck that! If people were firing at me I’d try to save my life too,
“Well there is process to follow” have you fucking heard their cause?
Shit is bad out there you have no idea, I only wish you knew…
These are some desperate times and so they take desperate measures,
Their only crime is crossing national borders trying to endure,
Illegal immigration is a fucked up situation for those who have less,
But hate and racism seems to be a disease that has no cure.
So keep scrolling, maybe change the channel, or look the other way,
By tomorrow you will forget about them and go about your day.

Congratulations
You who are asleep at the wheel
For having no idea
Of who you run over
The people you hit
Again and again
The painful breaking
Of their bodies
The crunch and
Final plunge
Into whatever is next
Not even background
To whatever dance
You’re tapping out
In dreamland
Congratulations
For achieving some kind
Of enlightenment
Let it be
Let it be
Let the tide of blood
Wash over me
A speck in the endless
Lack of reason to care
I fear that you
Know more than me
An older soul
Who understands why
One should never, ever
Give a damn

I gave you all my blood
Slashed wrists (like that you sadist?)
Blue eyelids
Cold lips you kissed
I gave you all (more than anyone could give)
My blood
A red waterfall
I can’t speak (you’d kill me, you narcissist)
There’s nothing to say
Everything is bleak
Bags of blood (love letters written in maroon ink)
Tear them apart
Drown in the flood
My body an empty shell (depression is hell)
On your palms
My tear drops fell
I needed to feel whole (emptiness out of control)
Tightening your grip
You needed control
Stole my soul (you needed a replacement for yours)
Now in my chest
There’s a bullet hole
Take it all (you fucking selfish prick)
Watch me fall
Towards you I crawl
No blood drips (is it ever me you miss?)
Bled dry
Blackout eclipse
Nowhere to be found (where’s all your profound love?)
King of romance
Self crowned
Take your throne (all you do is take anyways)
It’s waiting
My gravestone
In the moonlight (even after death we don’t part)
You grab your shovel
Filled with spite
My headstone (you grave robber)
States
Here rots used bones

Cold lips you kissed
I gave you all (more than anyone could give)

"If I could turn back time"
People are mean when there upset
Sometimes expect people to say something they don't mean
It happens
Couples fight
She tells her man of ten years she can't stand him no more and he tells her to die
He knows that wasn't right
A few mornings later the husband wants to do something nice for his wife
An ongoing conflict every night repeats for a couple of weeks so he sleeps on the loveseat
In sync
With her melancholy of madness that has made her stay in thier bedroom for so long
He sits at the bottom of the stairs wondering what's wrong
Thinking maybe then, If he begins making some flapjacks and bacon
It will start creating a reason for sure
To present her with breakfast in bed
Softly knocking on thier door
It creeks ajar, she seems to be snoozing real hard
Next to the dresser he finds a glass of wine and an empty bottle of Xanax bars
He creeps closer to give her a shake, she won't wake
As a matter of fact she won't breath
The husband spills a trace of pancake on her face cause she won't eat
"Respond! Come on!"
Becoming more afraid as she just lays
Maby she's still mad and wants him to just go away
Pleading for his spouse to stop acting this way
Repeated apologizes for the way he behaved
Who's to blame? And why is his wife eternally ignoring him for the rest of his life?
Didn't expect her to do what he said
Regretting, he's replaying the reckless over reaction in his head
Going head to head, playing head games with himself he can't even win.....
That's when he decides to jump out the second story window head first, so he can join her again.

Myopia
Side by side we walked throughout the days of our youth,
Never a secret we kept, never a thought left unsaid.
You were my closest confidant, and I was yours.
Our souls were both fragmented, but together we were almost whole.
The age of adolescence ended and we went down separate paths,
I followed the hallowed halls of academia, but you were stuck in the past.
Perhaps I knew, deep inside,
That you could never leave the ground where your father died
But I had faith that you would make it out one day,
How was I to know beside him in the ground, you would also lay?
I knew your obstacles were plenty,
I knew your path was tough,
I just never knew that your will would not be strong enough
to outrun the demons your father's absence left behind.
Why couldn't I see?
Why were my eyes so blind?
How could I ignore the signs,
of a friend in pain -- a friend in the deep
of life's infinite afflictions.
You sought comfort in a bottle,
you found escape through a needle.
Now these vices no longer consume you, but their sting still lingers
in the missing part of my soul that you once occupied.
Maybe one day I will come to peace with your absence,
Maybe one day I will shed this cloak of shame.
But today -- today I just lay flowers on your early grave.

Drink, swallow,drink

Lock in my room because I can't face the person I disappointed.
Today I thought about taking my life, so I cried!!
Today I should take 8 pills to feel at peace
Today I should .....
Today I should.....
Repeat...

Kicking Methadone and Benzos in Solitary Confinement with an Abscess Tooth
Some people are only alive because of the fear of withdrawal
Not God
Not man
You don't deserve to walk upright alongside of us lesser scum
But there is discipline in vengeance
I will let father times icy breath blow my name far from your memory
And just as the winds carry any thoughts of me away and scatter them to unrecognition like the bones of a clandestine corpse dispersed by carnivores
There I'll be
In a back alley
Moonlight beating on my back
Or in a dark bedroom
The pale blue flicker of the tv illuminating my naked face
You will see the dead black spheres that sit in my sockets
Void of empathy and mercy
And you will know
My heart heavy with homicide and my mind high on the hatred of a hundred betrayals
And you will know
Why I fucking came
Not God
Not man
You don't deserve to walk upright alongside of us lesser scum
But there is discipline in vengeance
I will let father times icy breath blow my name far from your memory
And just as the winds carry any thoughts of me away and scatter them to unrecognition like the bones of a clandestine corpse dispersed by carnivores

And you will know

I Am Oblivia
I am now void
in the rhythms of a profound language, once
ingrained
in my youthful mind.
Books of knowledge, now
adorned
with thorny spines
and illegible scribes.
Like muscles, my
lexicon atrophies
when not utilized.
Dwindling resources
dulled
by illiterate thoughts.
Shunned
by the keepers
of knowledge,
belittled by the arrogance
of the social conformist.
I became sedulous
in my search for
a mentor
and confidant to evoke
the memories
of my wisdom
of language.
He procured me
a feast
of faux knowledge and
decomposed
my inner compass; by
guiding me
to feast
from the tree
of the Apple
of Sodom.
Choking on smoke,
my stomach lines
with ash.
Leaving trails of snarled thoughts
and
sporadic flashes of knowledge
faded away
from my mind.
As I crawl throughout the carnage
of cruel intent, leaving razor
thin cuts
of malevolence.
Breaking the chains of courage within me.
