Fell down a rabbit hole of
guns, drugs and death.
This ain't no wonderland
this is the paranoid psychosis
of meth.

Little white ghost
sucking my soul through my face
I run and they give chase.
There is no time, no space, no air
I' am dying trying to find
a caring hand.

I jump on a cloud to
gain a perception of this
reality, its a foregone
conclusion that I've fallen
into a realm of insanity.

Come down off my cloud
settle on the purple ground
my ears prick up to a curious
sound.

I wade through the fog
to see a mad hatter,
sitting at the end of a table
with furry animals,
all in a chatter.

I walk up bravely and
cough once then twice
"did you enjoy your
flight" the hatter said
with a beaming grin.

"Come sit child you must
be confused, we are all mad
but may be of some use".

"How did I get here?" I asked
distraught. "hmmm show me your
arms I'll take a look".
Ah I see you place metal in your
veins, only a matter of time before
your mind splinters and breaks".

"You mean I am dead, no longer alive?"
"afraid so dear" he said with
a smile.

Mad Wonderland

I fell through the hole of your intentions
where everything was upside down
and I was never quite the right size,
yet you insisted on keeping me
bottled up and locked away.

Cheshire smiling at my misfortune,
entertained to ease his pain
and try to cause me guilt
for not paying enough attention.
His whispers point me in the wrong direction
and cause me to doubt
all that led me here to begin with.

He was of course successful,
considering he was all the sense
this mad world held.
Especially considering
my own white rabbit kept running,
calling out for Maryanne,
who'd obviously been in his cottage
a time or two.

All the while he asked my ring size
and sent me cards
claiming to be the King of Hearts,
when he was the Knave all along.
Still, we played our games,
though the pieces constantly changed
their own places on the board,
so we never had a hope of winning.  

Finally I faced the beast,
heart pounding,
tears pouring.
I let go my fears
and stopped myself from seeing
only the reflections I wanted to see.
I stepped through back to home,
the mirror shattering behind me,
and I haven't looked back.


...well hardly...

you think it's a fairy tail
nicely told sweet and well

but all of whats told by she..
isn't what her eyes can see.

she was sucked into a vortex of
bodies that decay.
whispering words to her
even i cant say,

paranoid, insane
told not a meth..
such a wonderland she thought because
it seem not real.

a mirror that she sees
the demons in her place.
darkness and evil, carved apone her face.

no clouds no sun, no light that appear.
creepy it was..
Alice surrounded by all her fear.

her mind shakes, brakes and fall..
no matter how loud she screams
her voice wont call.

not a place of god a place of spiritual hearts
only darkness and evil ready to tear apart.

run Alice run, try to save her soul
never should have Alice fallowed Akumas roul

eyes tearing, Dark red blood that fell....
Alice is stuck in the hibbits of hell.

“Surviving Alice and the Costume Party”
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/99/Alice_in_Wonderland.jpg
People are strange, so are the places, they always have been,
the faces come and they go, buildings get built then fall down,
no one ever really knows what is real and what’s not.
Despite the times, I still think most people are a friendly lot.
I used to think Alice was a bit touched, not quite right in her little head,
she was so idealistic, constantly walking around,
talking about true love and romance.
Her Adventures in Wonderland seemed a bit farfetched, too.
Such a story seemed crazy as hell to me, I really believe
she was tweaked, at the very least, a real freaky pretty lady.
I never fell for any of her star struck imaginary lines.
Then last week, my neighbor Bill from Folly Bridge Road,
asked me to come to his costume  party dressed like a toad,
said if I was looking for a thrill, I’d find it over there.
Well, what the heck, it was just down the road.
When I arrived later that night, everyone was higher than kites,
doing hand jives and all sorts of other ridiculous stuff, frightening.
Some folks took their costumes more serious than others,
one guy was a White Rabbit, he played the part well,
kept checking his watch hopping around eatin’ and drinkin’
everyone else’s food, I thought it was rude, most thought it was
funny, a running bunny stuffing his face with roast beef and stew.
Somebody must have slipped me a hit, the walls began to crawl,
things shape shifted, I almost felt like offing it, but I held my drool.
My head exploded in a kaleidoscope of color, a caterpillar
sat over in the corner puffing on a  hookah and offering his advice.
I wasn’t taken any of it, he was creepy and not really nice.
Somebody got morbid and threw a mouse in the fish tank,
like Piranhas in heat, the Angel fish were going nuts on it,
the little bugger didn’t have any chance, the mouse or the boy.
Billy’s son, Willy, the little whiskered-pet owner ran outdoors,
so sad, the mouse drowned and he cried a pool of tears.
I leered at the perpetrator, a small person dressed up as an Eaglet.
Well, it got better, things were starting to hop around ten,
there was a Dodo Bird, Billy dressed up like a lizard, a Smiling Cat
(whom I did not trust), a Duchess, and a Duck. They were having some luck
organizing a Caucus Race, just trying to save face before the booze ran out.
The March Hare (it was a guy) rumbled around without a care in the world,
seemed sad but glad without sorrow, he borrowed the keys to my car,
passed out in the back seat, another creep, a stone cold drunk.
There was a hard shell turtle who mocked the girl dressed up as a
Gryphon, it was so funny watching them dance then romance
to old time radio hits, he shook her around quite a bit, she was dizzy.
Despite the lunatic revelers, what freaked me out more was
the level of thievery taking place, the boldness was appalling,
someone stole the cherry tarts right off the kitchen table,
we searched high and low, the pretty stocky lady dressed up as the
Queen of Hearts brought them for everyone, she was pissed.
She threatened to call the cops and have everybody searched,
we sufficed her instead with a phony court,
it went to her head, she got a bit cocky.
We accused the Knave of Hearts of the devious crime,
the party-goers were screaming “off with his head”, but
we gave him the lighter sentence instead,
said he would do his time with honor, but
quickly he dropped a dime on the Mad Hatter character
and escaped out the back door, someone said
he broke his ankle in a rabbit hole, so much for honor.
Oh well, it’s what he gets for stealing our dessert anyways,
Somebody had to pay, guess it wasn’t his day or night.
I woke up the following morning over on Godstow Court,
how I got there is anybody’s guess, I was hung over no less,
grabbed my pants, my watch, my socks, and my alarm clock,
bolted like lightning all the way home, left my shirt there.
By the way, her name was Alice, I believed everything
she told me about last night,
except the part about love,
I don’t believe in such things.

The Escapist

Asylum walls, soft and screaming.
This place is too real for me.
As the night tide washes over,
Escape into my dreams.
Visions of contradictions
And writhing monsters dancing in the shade.
Through this moaning wood
The tribal drums never waver.
This feels so surreal to me.
All too soon the dawn emerges,
Orderlies and fece-riddled walls.
Take these pills:
This one makes you obedient,
This one keeps you calm.
This one makes you bigger,
And this one makes you small.
There's Charles, donning his shit be-speckled,
Height of clinically insane fashion,
Fading black and white horizontal bars jumpsuit.
He will spend the day chortling, cross eyed, to himself,
Grinning from ear to voice ridden ear.
Chilling  déjà vu.
("We are all mad here")
Cold, blanketless cot,
Tray full of lukewarm slop.
The curtain closes on another day, here in wonderland.
Palpable slumber,
Ambient echoes,
My home away from Hell.
Restraints encumber,
But the mind still wanders,
When I plummet down the well.

I don't believe I have this comp, understood, said Tweedledum, but Tweedledee has written a collection for it, anyhow. So we threw them into a very large top-hat (without tails) and chose one that floated to the top, first. Which was this...

“I wish you wouldn’t keep changing your pic, so regularly
it makes me, quite giddy”

“All right” said the profile, and this time it changed
in slow motion replay

Beginning with the background and ending
in the anime (which disappeared first)

Well I’ve often seen an anime
without a background
but never have I seen
a background
without the anime

Well thats the darn-dest thing said Alistair
trying not to stare
there’s a background without it’s anime
running
and running
around

"Shshshhh" said the profile
"don't you make a sound"

BIG PHARMA HIRED ALICE

One pill is for headaches
And one pill is for acid reflux
Lyrica helps only
One people in four

Jonathon takes Adderall
For he wants to ace it
He is destined for Harvard
Who cares if he fakes it?

And if you go chasing marks
Using legal amphetamines
How are you going to function?
When you cannot access them at all?

Go ask Alice, the CEO of Drugs Inc.
Where they just patented
Their Superdrug for all
Makes you smarter and better looking
Boy that stock is sure taking off!

Go ask Alice
If there are side effects
She will say no, it has been tested
On rabbits, who think
They are ten feet tall…..

Alice said the drug wars
Will soon be over
As MegaPharm just came out
With a drug named “Clover”
CLOVER is a natural high
Not addictive they say
Give it a try
You go to the doctor
Get a few free samples
Write you some scripts
Helps you cope with unemployment

When the men in Washington
Tell you it is all your fault
You have mortgaged your children’s future
The middle class has come to a halt
Go ask Alice for more solutions
They will make a new drug
To make you forget
The Euro is about to fall
And like dominoes
One country
After
Another
Suffers
Economic
Collapse
When the US collapses
Who will care?
We will be taking GOVERNMENT APPROVED Soma
So we won’t care
Go ask Alice
What are the ingredients?
And you will see
A DEA endorsed version
Of the common poppy!

"Two Way Mirror"


i once danced    
inside a    
mirror    
of regret  
   
surrendering to    
the sweet kisses    
of my void  
   
i cooed soft    
           lullabies    
   whispered    
           through    
        your    
           cry's  
               your sighs  
   
valiantly emanating    
the aura of some    
wicked    
deity  
   
                            thrusting    
                               envy    
                               down    
                               the    
                         severed throats    
                                of    
                            petty fools  
   
and infatuating the    
eyes of notorious    
foul maggots  
   
all the while entranced    
with drunken veins    
of    
liquid    
illusion    
   
staggering to    
catch my plummet    
into hells domain  
   
considering the  
ludicrous idea    
of    
just    
fucking  
taking    
the leap  
   
                             but is    
                             there    
                              life    
                             beyond  
                               my    
                             mirrors    
                              edge?  
   
perhaps if i just    
make a    
crack    
i can    
leap into the    
rabbit hole..    
   
free myself down    
the corridors of  
my now    
broken    
glass  
   
brave the uncertainty    
of a frightened maidens    
mind  
   
or invade the voice    
of shadows and claim    
insanity's plea  
   
                                desperately    
                        gathering    
                                 the    
                         shattered  
                                 pieces    
                             of my    
                                 identity's    
                        silhouette    
   
and force    
pleasures    
unto    
my    
begging    
severed    
skin  
   
if i find light shining    
brightly will    
i be    
blinded?  
   
because when vast    
desolateness  
is only seen    
is    
there    
really    
any color in reality?  
   
             maybe            my  
                i           image  
                  can             into  
                   spit          two                

use my doppelganger    
to investigate if i    
am even alive  
   
if my pupils are    
black as coal has    
my reflection    
cried?  
   
         whats    
             another    
                   crack    
                        or    
                      two    
               bleeding    
         through  
               my    
                 eyes?  
   
is that a glimmer of    
hope hope shimmering    
just before my view?  
   
i    
think ill  
sip the taste  
of fevered joyous serenity    
                  
but then..  
   
                              i    
                              am    
                             just    
                              a    
                           wretched    
                             liar  
   
                  i am just a parasitic disease  
   
                 my heart was butchered long ago  
                              
                              i    
                              don't    
                                  believe    
                                 in    
                                  any  
                              mercy  
   
                  not for swines or even myself  
   
                               i    
                            will    
                       thrive  
                            among    
                          the    
                            decrepit    
                        muses    
                            of    
                          old  
   
and shriek    
aloud defiant    
laughter  
   
                                  to    
                                   forever  
                              remain    
                     imprisoned  
                    by    
                     the    
                       remorse    
                             of    
                              my    
                          reflection

Im a wandering alice in a world so far away
Wandering in a world of decay
I partake not knowing of the dangers a head
I partake not knowing I am soon to be dead
The cat
And the hat
In a half
With milk from a calf
Pouring me tea
Talking to me
So nonchalantly
But when he is discovered
His head will be in the gutter
Rolling like a bean
Ordered by the queen
Taken off by the guillotine
This is my queen's daily routine
I sided with the best
Putting my skills to the test
And here's a little fate bend
But your life is next to end
Welcome to this hell and
Here we call it bloody wonderland
