On the Lessons of Pacing
You can take five steps
if you know how to do it
one-two-three-four-and-
pivot on five.
Go back the other way
pivot again
the opposite way
this time
so the equilibrium
there in your ears
does not whirlpool
and throw you into
the dizziness of vertigo.
Keep going.
Look out the tiny slit
of frosted glass window
so high up at six stories
not even the shadow
of a passing cloud is cast
(but once the...

My Soul Keep Feeding
No right I have to claim
Over what is in life gifted
Nor should I have a remorse
For what is to be rejected
Nature has its lawful laws
Retain what is in its course
Generate what apart falls
We learn to feel content
With what we hold in hand
Thank the sun for its light and dusk
Pray to God for the breath that has a sound
Bend to the sublime until we turn to dust
Learn and learn to live with a hidden pain
A conviction that nothing here is in vain
A belief, a Faith that life already a gain
What we lose to heart to reason...

Clout's True Pull
I, I am nothing but a thing
Can you tell me how to get something out of nothing
Cause here I stand nothing but a thing
Created of nothing, existing for nothing
I oozed from the womb
Psych darkened and bent, force into my tomb
The world didn't want me so I demanded more room
Prenatal care ensured my mind set and doom
He needs this formula, cereal, and vaccinated shot
Collect his DNA before leaving the hospital and chip the bloodclaat
To ensure he's docile there's atrazine for food in the pot
Field run off into ponds and...

Sale Of The Century
can't gaslight my eyeballs
the way i used to
America is having
a going out of business sale
humanity has been placed
on the clearance rack
everything must go
even God

The Slave Théater {Act One}
as time slips into the future
it drags its own unique brand of baggage
of unreconciled relics
and a gang of blame gamers
raging against the machine behind 'enemy' lines
stuck on stagnant rhetoric
choking on wokeness
minds on remedial remote control
emotions enflamed by Molotov cocktails
politically corrected..
castrated ...circumcised...
wandering like an exposed dick-head
in quicksand ideology
regurgitating familiar social hiccups
that was always doomed to fail
future past...fast forwarded

Spicy POV
Everybody coats
themselves in
sugar & nice
but there are some
who were made to
be spicy, defiant
& non compliant,
I know what kind
gets branded in
iron as villains
because I am
one of them,
instead I let
this lesson
turn into a
superpower.

C.S.I.
The very definition of deadbeat
is every last conservative we know
hell for leather at the buy bull retreat
and the dog and pony deer hunter show
to study the latest mass murder kit
cuz deer and people weigh about the same
so bullets make the same ballistic hit
on legal or illegal human game...
about which they fantasize all day long,
when they're not bitching about Taylor Swift
and how woke she is with her latest song
where lyrics are too big for them to sift
like the ideation they should have learned
from all the schoolbooks...

Sweet Women, Sweet Lies
The sweetest thing about the nice women
Is that they always love to lie to tough Adam
And moreover, they know that also harsh men
Love tender women, because they love to lie
So, with respect shown, lying is women's charm
By which they lure men into their sweet bait
It is a paradox that has became a clear evidence
No one ever denies the irony of the lying fact
Women are beautiful, without a masked truth
Their tender voice, smart body is the very proof
With slender fingers and lightly falling...

Weathered Peat
Sediments in arches of falling leaves
ankle-deep in weathered peat
from the eaves of olden trees
as tenants of nature feel the silence
of ten million echoes listening
to mystic bread rising to feed the beast

Generation Snowflake
A snowflake is a self-absorbed, entitled, overly emotional individual.
Whose to blame?
Children born after 1980 received a consistent message from adults: life is dangerous.
Adults/Parents will do everything in their power to protect you from harm, not just from strangers.
They describe how their childhood itself has changed greatly during the past generation.
Many Baby Boomers and Gen Xers can remember riding their bicycles around their hometowns, unchaperoned by adults, by the time they were 8 or 9 years old.
In the hours...
