Poet Introduction
The serpents tongue is liquid and claims to be wise
The Soldier
Confusion surrounds the sentry
He paces, lowering his guard
He steps over the boundaries
Now all that glitters has been marred
He escapes this place, it's empty
Yet there is no room for him there
He walks the line he was meant to
But there's a war been waging there
Hard-bitten, he makes the distance
Lays every feasible path
He imagines his world without blasphemy
Even though he suffers within his wrath
When the fire was left unfettered
There rose up a singular spark
He makes his way in spite...
He paces, lowering his guard
He steps over the boundaries
Now all that glitters has been marred
He escapes this place, it's empty
Yet there is no room for him there
He walks the line he was meant to
But there's a war been waging there
Hard-bitten, he makes the distance
Lays every feasible path
He imagines his world without blasphemy
Even though he suffers within his wrath
When the fire was left unfettered
There rose up a singular spark
He makes his way in spite...

Ideology
Meddlesome whispers
pushing static through the mind
Is it me?
Am I the sinner
keeping this lie so intertwined
Is it political?
Analytical?
Do I purchase or do I walk?
Do I dance to their music?
Do I talk the penchant talk?
Making enemies with my judgement
oh my words sometimes betray
Do I have the freedom to speak as I want to
or is it your words that I must say
Marginalized?
I am envied
despite lacking wholesome merit
I don't want this cloak you've left me
but you're forcing me to wear...

Postmodern Hell
The swindler's sagacious, wicked and anxious
Best prepare a feast of minds
Instrumentally less sheer, weaponizing our fear
He longs to be the key that winds
The puppet has strings and scripts and things
Beholden to the fringe of the law
When mendacity wears down his vestigial crown
His malfeasance is all too raw
Take our spirit, take our means. Start ripping through seams
To lay a base of exclusive profusion
It'll take a weatherworn stroll over a kettle-baked knoll
To infer this noisome...
