Poet Introduction
has left the building
[2015] Wardance
You take, you take
And in your thirst
you drink even more
The well will inevitably run dry
Take, you take
another bite; leave behind
an apple's bitter core
At this rate of consumption
there won't be enough
for you and I
No, there won't be enough
for you and I
The more you take and take
the less everyone will have
You force our hand
The time is now to take a stand
Drive you back to the shore
Run you off of our land
It was ours to begin with
Life...
And in your thirst
you drink even more

[ Bad Raps ] My Super Hard Love
Here I come now
right in your face
with my super hard love
what you can never get enough of!
A---l---l n---i---g---h---t l---o---n---g
My super hard love
is an endless Karaoke song
whump thump hump whump
whump
Larger than life;
a Godzilla terrorizing every villa
in the countryside from Bangkok to Manilla
while the womenfolk run to hide...

[2015] Bad Kitty
Here kitty kitty
Meow kitty kitty
Here kitty kitty
BAD KITTY!
Nine lives
and she's gonna use them all
Four down and five to go
sauntering through the hall
No use in crying over
spilled milk on the floor
Wherever Bad Kitty gets her licks in
there's never an uneven score
Throw her out---
she always lands on her feet
Bad Kitty doesn't understand
the word Defeat
It's not in her vocabulary
She ain't no average ordinary girl
She'll find a...

[ Love ] Another Day In The Life Of Miranda
extinguished of its flame
smoldering candle on the nightstand
driveway empty of his car
standing without concern on the veranda
half naked for neighbors to witness
in her finest lingerie
It's just another day
she tells herself
another day in the life of Miranda
she tells herself
It's just another day
in her finest lingerie
half naked for neighbors to witness
standing on the veranda without concern
driveway empty of his car

[2015] Behind The Scenes
Listen to her moan
n wail, simply to no avail
in sadness more so than malice
No one sees her standing there
Did anyone ever really care
about poor little Alice?
No!
Always lacking in attention
eager for either parent's affection
Never did she grow up to understand
Never did she come to know
what love means
And she continues to roam
the house that strangers after strangers
call their home
What few years of life ...

[ Bad Raps ] Taking Back My State
Line in the sand---
drew it with my bare hand
Dare to cross it
if you think you're man enough to
Brother, newsflash for ya:
you'd never get through
This was always my Hood
What makes you think you could?
Perhaps in your arrogance?
Just because you can scale a fence
doesn't mean I can't keep you out
Just because you deal in violence
doesn't mean I have to dwell in fear
Ain't cause enough for me to doubt
This is where I stand, line in...

a collaboration with Psycotic Mastermind

restless spirit squandering wishes
upon fleeting shooting stars

[ MA ] Tabloid Exclusives
A proverbial Zeus high on
his own snowflaked Mount Olympus
occasionally wiping his frosted snot nose
hurls such stinging lightning javelins
in attempts to strike down those deemed
lesser gods and greater mortals
fearing they seek to dethrone his
declaration of Greek Godly statue status
In the silence occurring between
each of these egotistical thrusts
penetrating the waxy buildup
in his ears is
L A U G H T E R
echoing through the valleys ...

[ Bad Raps ] Don't Cry For Me 'Lil Juanita
For real, I'm reeling
hopping mad, feeling
meaner than a Mexican
jumping beaner
Missing my Mama
been years since I've seen her
once upon a time in Mexico
long ago
Now can't afford gas
to drive across the border
Yeah, that's right, Pendejo
---you're out of order
She's stuck over there
I'm stuck over here
You cut in line
to steal jobs that were mine
and all you got to say
for your sorry ass self is
Don't cry for me 'lil Juanita
The truth is...

[2015] Poetic Justice, Inc.
Poetic Justice, Incorporated
highly recommended you to us
as being extremely overated
having a zeppelin sized ego
furiously self inflated with ...
... is that a bicycle pump in your hands?
Before you run out of breath
or gas
which ever comes first
for a big sack of hot air
Such as yourself
would you happen to know
any words that rhyme with
chump?
Oh, the inhumanity of it all
The inhumanity of it all
Flaming wreckage
plummeting from the sky
crash lands...

[ When Harry Met Butters ] Butters
Butters scuttles
skitters, skutters
inside the cookie jar
tracking her stinky
rinky dinky
centipede feet
across my last

[2015] I Did It
For gut busting
stomach wrenching bellyfuls
I did it for the Lulz
I did it for the
Tummy tucked in
atomic rippling taking tolls
I did it for the Lulzs
I did it for the
So unoriginal as you copy what you see
---mimic what I do, passing the baton to me
Often resulting in a lull never quite the same
What a crying shame you fail to comprehend
what's so simple
Its your strings I pull
And I'll do it again and again
You won't know where or when
As your humor...
