Unholy Seed
They're doing tricks on the blind
And busy bee got control
The other brick in the wall
Another day on the job
And that's the way things work
Digging, shoving, to fuel the machinery
Watch the pistons pump
That's the drive that keeps the heart alive
And all that you desire
Making you the perfect liar
And someone's casting pearls before the swine
On the road to hell
Illuminati
N.W.O. in control
While fingers worked to the bone
Illuminati, unholy seed
In 1776 the birth of greed
...

Sometimes....
..a caring voice is all that matters
chatter about whatever...just close the distance...
.....someone needs to hear from you
chatter about whatever...just close the distance...
.....someone needs to hear from you

Property Rights
Behavior marks us all as good or bad
with dissension evermore in the ranks
of any milieu that we've ever had
from the front lines to the national banks
with most of us opting for something nice
to showcase our variety of thought
and by considerations twice and thrice
we see common ground as a tiny plot
which serves the public as a litmus test
to show who is greedy and who is not
in the melee to see just what is best
in the public policies that we've got
and thereby we know that to privatize ...

The League of Horrible Pants
They were a triad of unfortunate fashion
wide, wide pants
with wide, wide openings
two pairs exhausted black
one the grayish brown of smog
the frayed bottoms swept up dust
and crumbs
and who knows what else
as they walked (three wide of course)
the aisles of the local Safeway
One's tattered jacket
as unfortunate looking as his pants
had an evil clown on the back
with some sort of I-warned-you message about madness
maybe he was a CPA who coaches Little League
one never knows
life is random and weird ...

When you know you know
We waited to see the streetlights take over at the end of this hideous dream
running in slow motion as the street sweeper sweeps
i wonder now what could have been done different
now we're dirt in the cracks and seams
rubble of porcelain and broken dishes
stretching as far as the eye can see
give it a week and all the bitchin
we'll come back around
after it takes its toll
to find ourselves
blistering from the heat
freezing from the cold
waiting
on bronze aged myths
that will take us home
sad really ...

Sanity
We spend our whole adult life
Distracting ourselves from losing our
Sanity
Some are just better at it than others
Some of us just give in
Lyrically Inclined
Distracting ourselves from losing our
Sanity
Some are just better at it than others
Some of us just give in

Is the Ranch Dressing As Creamy As Your Cum?
A vulgar case
Of food tampering
Bodily fluid
Into salad dressing
Orgasm in the cafeteria
Semen into salad dressing
Everyone there is disgusted
The sickest thing they've ever heard
Contents could have been digested
Warnings told about this health hazard

Lie in Wait
It slowly creeps in the shadows undetected
All the while everything on the surface seems fine
Even as the body fights it becomes subjected
To something sinister that at first seemed so benign
The fatal disease then spreads quickly without control
Destroying and consuming everything in its path
Even though warning signs may whisper it to the soul
The mind doesn’t want to realize it or do the math
The victim becomes brittle at the core, to the bone
Not realizing what it’s done until it’s too late
And all the medicine won’t help...
All the while everything on the surface seems fine
Even as the body fights it becomes subjected
To something sinister that at first seemed so benign
The fatal disease then spreads quickly without control
Destroying and consuming everything in its path
Even though warning signs may whisper it to the soul
The mind doesn’t want to realize it or do the math
The victim becomes brittle at the core, to the bone
Not realizing what it’s done until it’s too late
And all the medicine won’t help...

Listen
You know that feeling you get
when you're the thing in the room
although one else can see it
through their eyes you hear the scream
tortured by the suffocation
in fear of some indoctrination
into some evil force
that must run through your veins
when you get that feeling
don't dismiss it
take a step right out the door
time to go
when you're the thing in the room
although one else can see it
through their eyes you hear the scream
tortured by the suffocation
in fear of some indoctrination
into some evil force
that must run through your veins
when you get that feeling
don't dismiss it
take a step right out the door
time to go

Leave things standing
You can leave things standing
yes you can! now listen
it's not always gonna go right
as a matter of fact and opinion
things will simply get fucked up
still keep reading
you can leave things standing
for instance
just because you don't live there
isn't a reason to burn it to the ground
may well be the moment you realize
you are not going back
so now what is the reason
what is this treason
for this new betrayal
is it in the mirror
a targeted bullseye from the barrel
does that look like you
do you want it...

Welcome to the NWO
Better keep on working or you will be replaced
Question any answers and you will be erased
You're the architect of apathy
Society crumbling beyond disorder
Welcome to your new world order
Forcing integration until you all are one
Deracinated ciphers of the lowest common sum
All the nations crumble as we open up the borders
Welcome to your new world order
We'll teach you truth is just illusion
We'll teach you just what to believe
You could not stand all the confusion
No you're better off on your knees
Freedom is...

My Fear
maybe this isn't very poetic
honestly I don't know what to say
I just know I have to say something
I'm not usually one to be afraid
but I do see things greater than me
something that does pull one my heart
is the suffering of others
I don't like when Trump speaks
he talks about people like trash
I've said so much about him
and you've heard about him
my fear is hearing it for another 4 years
but a greater fear
is watching freedom die
and we became forever desensitized
to hatred
