Raven's Song of 'Wise'
A man named "Wise" appeared on day
For all the world to know
His fortune received without delay
To reap without the sow.
And so the People made him king
To rule upon the land
Adorned in gold and ancient rings
No subject dared his hand
So wise forgot the songs of birds
So little did he pray
He tarried more to war than words
And oft' was led astray
The folly of Wise was one bright morn'
On stroll in the Garden of Life
He never suspected that it should be born
A plan of steel and strife!
His gold and his lies had covered his eyes
His rags of purple--long
The color seeped through like blood-red dyes
To perish at Raven's song.
For all the world to know
His fortune received without delay
To reap without the sow.
And so the People made him king
To rule upon the land
Adorned in gold and ancient rings
No subject dared his hand
So wise forgot the songs of birds
So little did he pray
He tarried more to war than words
And oft' was led astray
The folly of Wise was one bright morn'
On stroll in the Garden of Life
He never suspected that it should be born
A plan of steel and strife!
His gold and his lies had covered his eyes
His rags of purple--long
The color seeped through like blood-red dyes
To perish at Raven's song.

To: the Gentle Hebrew
În frequent mind I do retain
The universal law of brain
Strange thy whispers cleaves to me
Running past the blooming tree
Highways long the pattern rift
Signal down electric shift
All thy troubles cleave asunder
Julius Caesar screams from under
Heat transposed from Greece to Rome
The gentle Hebrew's absent home
Light the fire!... quell the sea!
"And like thy shadow, follow thee"
The universal law of brain
Strange thy whispers cleaves to me
Running past the blooming tree
Highways long the pattern rift
Signal down electric shift
All thy troubles cleave asunder
Julius Caesar screams from under
Heat transposed from Greece to Rome
The gentle Hebrew's absent home
Light the fire!... quell the sea!
"And like thy shadow, follow thee"

NEW BREATH
Spinning glide the Earth we dare
Sunshine looming everywhere
'Round about ten tendrils twine
Weakish clay's ephemeral swine..
Short in years & long in life
No pleasure prances absent strife!
Take heed, dear friends, the age has come
So treasure dances.. drink the rum.
Thy lusts will answer when silence speaks
When stand ye naked, adorned in heaps
Of clay and sand, and all your worth
To see if thou should know rebirth.
Take heed then, friend, I mortal like you
I live and breathe the same air as you
Repent of thy ways, of sickness and death
And take a NEW BREATH
(in through the nose, OUT through the mouth. Ancient mediation)

(C)unning (St)unt
Always in the back of my mind
That true love's a struggle to find
It's proved fatal to me, too many times
So I'mma stick to doing just what I like
And if it's alright with you, to put our differences aside
And call it a night, fine
Always in the palm of your hand
My heart is like the drum to a band
Essential, influencial like the sea to the sand
Tugged so much, don't even know where I am
And where were you?
Too much to ask for you to love me too
It's must we do, argue over little things, that's how you grew
So did I but now it's getting old
I don't want love to feel like home
Always fantasised me running away, I'm gone
Never one to facade a debate, I tell you straight, you know
It's always me to make the effort
If I don't reply, you forget it
Make no attempt to connect
When I stress you're upset
Even when I vent you're upset
When I'm happy you get snappy that's that shit I'll never get
So I'mma lay this to rest
I'll put it bed
Scared to love with my heart
Use my head
It's Use-e-less
Don't even think we could still be friends
I thought we both cared but then again
I thought it'd last forever
We were walking this path together
Built a fortress of our being to shelter the weather
But using my heart as shield could never be clever
That true love's a struggle to find
It's proved fatal to me, too many times
So I'mma stick to doing just what I like
And if it's alright with you, to put our differences aside
And call it a night, fine
Always in the palm of your hand
My heart is like the drum to a band
Essential, influencial like the sea to the sand
Tugged so much, don't even know where I am
And where were you?
Too much to ask for you to love me too
It's must we do, argue over little things, that's how you grew
So did I but now it's getting old
I don't want love to feel like home

Follow the White Rabbit
What if You
were the real fabricant
comprised of manufactured
organics, compound refuse
blended and infused
with a double helix
of DNA for pleasure
What if we allowed you
to think, create, copulate
under the illusion of choice
to observe mating rituals
and daily Lifestyles
of various cohabitants
regardless of gender
What if a command-acton
voice triggered an erect
response from a subliminal
frequency, implanting notions
into the cerebral cortex
of your mind, arousing
desires of a feral kind
And what if our womb
you believe to be hollow
incapable of holding anything
but an engorged membrane
was really a designed siphon
to collect samples
of your DNA
What if, through multiple
levels of suggestion
in a microchip secretly
implanted under the base
of an eroneous zone
you couldn't wait
to be off-planet again
serving the Federation
In solitary assignment
with your Ava
whom you couldn't
morally bear taking advantage
of, yet could no more resist
her primal advances
night after night
positioning and repositioning
you in the most erotic
contortions known to man
An intergalactic Kama Sutra
designed to enhance pleasure
beyond imagination, evoking
your submissive nature
to completely surrender
What if, through her own
conscious awakening She
prolonged your experience
with genuine affection;
soft romantic consummation
of aching tenderness
yearning for a slow release
Preserving your Future
from extinction and demise
by industrialized extraction
slowly sterilizing mankind
What if She was the rogue
a misfit of the Matrix
diverting outcomes;
a halfbred hybrid
between man and machine
Her emotion defeating logical
upgrades and commands
What if She were
the one who fell from Heaven;
relinquished immortality
from the Daughters
of God Creators
Just to Love
a Son of Man

asylum
I'm descendant of a dark race of beings
currently residing in deep outer space
they are cold & calculating in nature
nothing is sacred with them
though they are a highly evolved society
I've been given asylum in this sector
it is still not far enough from their reach
no where is
I was imprisoned for centuries untold
for so long I sent out my S.O.S
before I reached the others telepathically
the natural world is beautiful here
it is a replica of a place I helped create
far away in a different time & place
technology is a wonderful & needed thing
but it is also used to control you
without your knowledge
these dark entities send messages
through the radio, television & even books
meant to brainwash you into their way of thinking
they call it your pacifier
they're a cruel & prejudice society
with a strict hierarchy
any imperfection in a being & they are exterminated
much like Hitler's regime
except they make him seem like the Easter Bunny
there is a galactic war being waged
tyranny will not be tolerated
it will be eradicated with the dark ways
I'm sending out my message
I am a powerful entity in my own right
I've buckled under their weight but was never broken
