Is it Memorex or is it real
oh how much you must feel
so pompously proud this time
such clever turns of phases
the all and sum of you designs
twisting turning words to rhyme
dissecting re-arranging
you are far to good for grammar
creating a monkey puzzles instead
and people feel so superior
figuring out where you have led
where is the spark and soul
within these twisted phrases
the blood that drips from fingertips
high cost paid upon the pages
instead of loving all your mazes
...

Unity and potential
Cold hard truth
unfeeling
heart of stone
logic sans compassion
angry denials
immaturity
childish tantrums
feelings devoid of reason
.
a kaleidoscope
of multi-colored sensitivity
choosing the lens
creating the optics
developing a narrative
project Mockingbird
.
a magnifying glass
of illuminating clarity
actions of the heart
viewed by results
not by intent
tempering logic
tempered emotions
.
a closed mind
or shuttered soul
as with a parachute
only work when open...

As We Know It
Life as we know it is a mirage
with spirits in fancy pants
and a hoax with a laugh
soul searching to fill a shadow
that slips off the dark moon
giving one the hungry eye
outside looking in the glasshouse
with an obsidian cold heart...

Sorrows or Rainbows
I had a disturbing dream
that I lost my connection
to a family member
driving in a car
and no one cared
And I awoke
Instantly knowing
that seeds are sown without knowing
and they are growing
Always
With blue prints & glints
of a divine plan
participating in the span
of infinity
which is perhaps
the only reality
after all things come
And all things go
The way storms align
or appear
to align
unto the vision of a rainbow
And
...

Coffee Lovers Delight
Coffee Lovers Delight
“I am the Mona Lisa today with a half-smile. Would you like me to think of something happy to boost my lips?”
“Let your lipstick do the talking instead of building a dream for my benefit.”
“Alright then. Oops, I made a big grin in spite of myself.”
“You are the Prague spring in every redhead’s heart.”
“You are in Czech mate.”
“Coffee is such a poor substitute for love.”
“Then we’ll call this the love shop where the illusion of romance however vicarious is never sold but rather bartered in exchange for...

Friendly Fire
We fucked among the bodies, blown off hands grabbing breast
Severed legs helping us to dig in, who started this mess
Babies born and grown right here on the battlefield
The killing switch has been flipped, humanity has lost it's protective shield
How do you turn it off, once the switch has been turnt on
How do you dam up all of this aggression once the juices start flowing
The young set off as squads all headed in different directions
Their weapons and team members are their only protection
As we move battlefield to battlefield, we...

Early Edition
Am I, my own worst enemy
Because I'm believing what the news is telling me
Once an entity within itself, protected by the constitution
Then shitted on the public at large and then joined the institution
Shit getting pimped by every politician with or seeking an office
Each telling the same fucking lie and hoping that you don't notice
They say, "climate change is just bullshit about as real as planet X
If we listen to the scientist on this, who knows what's next"
They have collectively joined forces, although they deny it to the...

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...

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...

Ecology 101
Toxic spills eventually kills
Everything from the banks, to the motherfucking hills
From the amoebas to the whales living in the water
In some fucking way they help to support us
Seals caught in spills, Ducks with oily bills
And then you have fish with tumors in their gills
And you motherfuckers think this shit is funny
You've set water on fire for the sake of money
Chemical plants located on rivers and streams
Crooked ass politicians all on your team
Working together on a destructive scheme
Killing everything to realize your...
