Blood Thirsty and Inebriated
Trying to find the words for intolerance
Spoken in themes of coinciding parallels
When the struggle speaks from a place of obscured reflections
In our will to get along after the perceptions of read into rejections
Conflict is not automatically a means to decide upon
As to whether we are loved or hated
Taking out frustrations of our lives on one another
Disregarding the ways in which another is berated
Persecutions in the balance of our ways that disagree
i try to believe the best of you but all you see is the worst of me
What if I...

Thoughts
The brevity of time
makes us live
like hell
until
we realize
we might just
go there
when we die
makes us live
like hell
until
we realize
we might just
go there
when we die

For The Children
You know why your kids are all fucked up?
Because you're focused on someone else's.
The fabric of society is being ripped apart.
Why?
The gays, the feminists, the abortion clinics, the right to question authority...
The man upstairs loves your children but so does the man sitting in the Vatican.
If you care so much about family, worry about your own.
Because you're focused on someone else's.
The fabric of society is being ripped apart.
Why?
The gays, the feminists, the abortion clinics, the right to question authority...
The man upstairs loves your children but so does the man sitting in the Vatican.
If you care so much about family, worry about your own.

White Lies Matter! Apparently!
By Stanley Collymore
And accounts for why lots
of you characteristically
rather worrisomely do
unquestioningly fully
accept each negative
thing that you have ever read or
even worst very nonsensically
heard repeated ad nauseam
about Meghan Markle; while
instinctively so and without
any evidence or knowledge
who said whatever was so
egregiously outlined bear
the full responsibility for
proselytizing it, initially!
A source is significantly
good enough it actually
seems...

The customer is not always right
In fact, some are downright
fucked up in the head
We are finding this to be the case more
often these days as God fearing Christians
are being sued for refusing to provide
services to gays and cashiers are shot dead
for repeating sign language posted on the door:
MASKS MUST BE WORN INSIDE THIS STORE
to prevent further Covid-19 spread
We've become a global civilization dwelling
in a narrow valley of expectation that
dollars must only be met with satisfaction
as if every transaction was made equal
...

Status Quo
Any other day, we could've made it
Any other day, We could've shared this world
We could had travel the globe, land to land without borders
You could had shared your garden, and I could had shared my water
White and brown sharing meals at the same fucking table
Equally sharing, no hostility, no dam labels
Any other day, we could've made it
Any other day, We could've shared this world
No looking for a nine or an uzi, you can't find it
The need never arose to ever design it
Peace has gone global, no need for the...

Seekers Of Destruction
What I say I don't do with scorn
But the Egyptians used trigonometry thousands of years before Pythagoras was born
The seekers of the way saw that knowledge was needed
So they traveled the face of the planet trying to feed it
Man, hahaha is indeed a strange creature
Being wasteful is but one of his many features
Food, resource, ability, and even precious human life
Man has a blatant disregard for human life
Let me hit you in the mouth with a little bit of the truth
Who else would pay there farmers not to produce
Babies...

A Puzzle Piece
In our society we can be good & we can be evil,
We have a choice to forgive or to seek revenge & kill to retrieval,
Some people that choose to be evil think they could get away with it,
They do not appreciate life nor to be ungrateful as one ends up in a fire pit,
You have five remaining people who all
have one in common & that wake up in a room,
Each have their own names each have their own recording tape & that have to find their own clues,
These people who have sinned & knows what they did to the other person, ...

Someone Tell Me Where Are We Heading
Father help the wandering sheep
This old world is sowing what we have reaped
There has been so much bloodshed in the streets
Bioengineered food shoved down our throats to eat
Guns pointed
Bullets blindly flying in the air
No names to greet as hollow points pierce organs ripping them as they tear
You promised love, have faith, and follow the cross for salvation
Yet, kids still in third world countries only know the meaning of daily starvation
Pine boxes resting young corpses
The absence of hopes, dreams
Minds that should be...

Fat Cats
Fat cats, your pockets shouldn't be bulging like that
Clear your minds by giving it all back
Fat cat, how much do you need before it stops making sense
Being broke and needy are no longer your defense
To see the world I climbed atop a garbage heap
There were so many below me screaming for just a peep
From here upon my throne made of trash
I could see the line where our two worlds clashed
The have-nots were rebeling, the illusion was fading fast
The fat cats had depended on an illusion that simply couldn't last
To had watched them...
Clear your minds by giving it all back

The have-nots were rebeling, the illusion was fading fast

Maranatha, Maranatha!
At cloudless noon, or midnight bare
I long to see you by-and-by
To walk the crystal seas we share
And soar like angels in the sky
A sea of glass, a land so bright
And armies there are trained to fight
A throne of glory, heaven's own
Where ends of ends are there and shown
Our worthless toils--for pay and bread
A life of strife to lay one's head!
Was man created for this life
Where some is pain and all is strife?
Where moments that we save for years
Are gone in graves and many tears?
Is this our call, our...
