From Mouse to Man
we started as kingdoms
the strong and the worthy
agreeing to one treaty
children sang in the streets
the markets thrived with wealth
people finally felt at ease
a king with his queen
having big dreams
but views begun to shift
you got corrupted with power
cared too much about building towers
took from the poor and gave to the rich
I tried with my reasoning
met only with constant resistance
you pushed me right out the picture
while I cowered in silence
felt broken, ashamed
downing...

I Need You
I can't pretend
to be ok in an empty room
my hand is reaching out
worried I pushed you away for the last time
feels like I'm crumbling inside
depression has got the best of me
guess that makes me unbearable
for that I'm sorry
but one thing remains true
I need you
just so tired of everyday bullshit
working till my back breaks
please someone tell me again
how I'm doing life so fucking wrong
I say it is what it is
my guess is everyone's just as fucked up
sitting back on my couch
wondering...

This World Belongs to the Youth
I remember when I was young
was told I didn't know the world
and though I didn't have it all figured out
a lot of the things are the same
adults hurl insults like brats
talk vile behind each other's backs
heck, most "adults" are just as stubborn
I didn't take the cookies, he did!
I didn't commit high crimes, she did!
one thing that is great about children
they see the world for what it is
no bias
they don't listen to the BS
we teach them right and wrong
but don't follow the rules ourselves
do as I...

Poem About a Poem
words that sink into my brain
a smile grows on my face
each line popping like exploding suns
history begging to be told
rough beats on the streets
drug habits gained and lost
crunching decades into a few bars
ahhh! perfection
this one has it all
love, sex, rock and roll
pondering my next move
looking at the screen like a chess board
maybe I should take out that one line
the one about the dirty world
nah, art must be unhinged
contemplating if the words are...

This Land is My Land
everybody's on something
redneck assholes acting like they're the victim
bitches don't know about struggle
yet talk about it like it's cool
ever been hated just cuz?
my skin is dark
go ahead and stop reading now
the ones that think I don't have a voice
cops know it was the brown man
the one who stole the box of gum
the one who is selling drugs
I just shrug it off
nah, I'm just here to fuck white ladies
so much shit talk
makes me want to sail away
find an island alone
with just me and a bunch of pretty girls ...

Fun While it Lasted
there was a time
when you ran in the yard
fell to the ground
cried till daddy picked you up
and with a kiss to the knee
you thought this is how it'd always be
then came your teen years
that's where you were introduced to sin
those boys smiled just right
had you captured by the mouth
that's when the lines of right and wrong
became blurred
out into the workforce
you are now grown
no more childish games
that's when you realized your life lacks excitement
oh boy those boys
and that's when you did your...
