One In A Million
Hit the road running towards the morning light
Had to leave this room that constricts all hope
Tripping on savage words holding no meaning
Artificial love intoxicates some synthetic dope
Everything that’s been thought of is already done
Nothing new resides underneath this setting sun
Potential enemies are so quick to brandish a gun
What are the fucking odds it’s like one in a million
Careful of the sword that keeps alive the dead
It’s a mythical legend filled to the brim with sin
Insignificant means breed discontent in a mind ...

Systemic Damage
Questions are a never ending spiral
Searching for answers can get crazy
Evil thoughts pulse until it goes viral
Tired ideas has made the vision hazy
Masks conceal the cruelest intentions
Orchestrated fear designed to control
Conflict feeds all these rising tensions
It’s systemic damage that takes it’s toll

Spiritual Warfare
Seduction lives on the wicked side of town
Concrete jungle with snakes lurking around
Street jesters forced to don an empty frown
Corporate hacks make deals on holy ground
Human cattle used as labor for the machine
Until artificial intelligence replaces all people
New opportunities lean toward the obscene
Wealthy beasts service him inside his steeple
New age sycophants bow to a demonic god
He’s evil incarnate in the finest designer suit
Built a kingdom with countless acts of fraud
Spiritual warfare’s a seed still producing...

Sinking Down
A jack of all trades and a master of none
Isn’t that what you told me when you were young?
So many restless nights avoiding the sun
Careless whispers spoken with a poison tongue
Sinking down with the lowest of lows
Words are subtle jabs leading to blows
Never throw stones inside this fragile house
When did you stop listening to such sound advice?
An alley cat stalks the unsuspecting mouse
Playing life’s game costs us more than what’s suffice
Sinking down until insanity seizes control
Lies are a cancer that slowly kills...

Careless whispers spoken with a poison tongue
Sinking down with the lowest of lows
Words are subtle jabs leading to blows
Never throw stones inside this fragile house
When did you stop listening to such sound advice?
An alley cat stalks the unsuspecting mouse
Playing life’s game costs us more than what’s suffice
Sinking down until insanity seizes control
Lies are a cancer that slowly kills...

Peace Of Mind
I’m Damian, I’m a Starving Artist. Which I think is a good thing, folks. First I should clarify that I’m not literally starving. I simply mean my creativity doesn’t pay the bills. I sometimes believe I wouldn’t have it any other way. Other times, well of course I wondered what that might be like.
But fame seems hollow to me. It’s when bad shit can happen at any given moment. I got a friend of mine who asked if given the opportunity to monetize, Backstage, would I do it?
First off, he’s putting the cart before the horse. Secondly, I think having ads and...

SpotLight - Pete_25
Welcome back to SpotLight, I’m Damian DeadLove. Got another great episode tonight, that I hope you’ll enjoy. This interview segment is meant for the DU community, as a way to get to know about the poet/poetess behind the writes.
Our guest tonight is a poet who lives across the pond, who happens to share a hometown with the Fab Four. That town is, Liverpool, folks. He’s been a member here since, September of 2024. He’s a brilliant writer with a rapid-fire delivery, that manages to stay silky smooth with his rhyme and flow, while charming us with clever wordplay and wit. I’m...

Someday Soon
Desperation fuels chaos in the streets
While false idols continue to make war
Honest poets keep writing the receipts
That’s right we’ve been keeping score
Someday soon judgment catches us all
Pride hits hardest when forced to crawl
Evil people are cowards speaking in lies
Hiding behind wealth enslaved by greed
There is no light inside such barren eyes
Gotta block the signal then cut the feed
Someday soon love will restore our grace
Build us a world far away from this place

More Than Likely
Always be careful when wishing for something
Everything appears different as it becomes real
Beware of who offers access to that brass ring
More than likely it’ll end up being a horrible deal

Solace In Chicago
I got lost in the depths of Chicago tonight
Swaying to the horn sections sonic assault
Catching the beat with a melody so bright
Hearing this rhythm burning hot as asphalt
Smooth transition into another catchy hook
A walking bass line marches with the drums
Piano is simmering as vocals begin to cook
A blazing guitar solo where each note hums
Sometimes when this world gets out of hand
I find solace in music from some classic band
.. Tonight I found solace in Chicago

Vanity
Power to the people who see through the lie
Some of us know that it’s merely a parlor trick
Taxes fuel frustration choking out the little guy
Resulting in more money for that wealthy prick
It seems the rest of the population remain lost
Making choices difficult while feeding insanity
Looking in the mirror reveals what choices cost
Realizing we live in a world that caters to vanity

Hesitate
Arrogant men love killing a peaceful dream
Forcing society to participate in nightmares
Independent thoughts are labeled extreme
Under scrutiny from willfully ignorant stares
People trade freedom for this secure illusion
Not realizing the hook lurking within the bait
Numbers never add up to justify conclusion
Programmed minds are groomed to hesitate

Acquitting Sin
Screams are amplified inside the chamber
Insults are hurled before any intent is shown
They speak of harming their leftist neighbor
While calloused hearts become hard as stone
Hate-speak echoes off cold desperate walls
Envious egos grow bitter before turning sour
Hanging judges fill these holes in judicial halls
Acquitting sin for the wealthy to hold the power
