POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I'm 20. i don't know a damned thing about the world. To call myself an experienced poet would be asinine and ignorant. I write free-verse or haiku.
Cereal Eating Clouds
Imma write my heart out tonight
its gonna be like a kite
flying in the sky
waving
like a hand, saying hi
dropping the spoon
cause buttaflies can't sigh
Crickets can picket though
silence!
Tell that to the system.

Myself: Summed up.
With my hands I've built and broken.
With my mouth I've spit and spoken.

f**k The Rich
Fuck The Rich
I see the world
broken and torn
Why isnt the money riped up and burned
Why the fuck do rich people survive wars?
While the poor is watching jersey shore
confused
lied to
This is the life we live
Ignorant distrated bullshit
Us americans
I ask myself why the fuck do we fight?
Blood in the light
pussy tight on wall street tonight
money on trees
sold son to shoot up her knees
cause her fucking arms are too fucking diseased
Rich kids blaring wayne
while the poor sit there and complain
Life is rough...

Don't Squander Life
Life is very precious. I guess that’s why people trample all over it. We humans have shit in one hand and gold in the other. We almost always pick the shit over the gold.
“Yea, I’ll I do that line of coke.”
“Hey bro, let’s go fuck them drunk chicks.”
“I’m going to let my kids be watched by strangers while I suck your dick for some meth”
That last one isn’t a hypothetical, it has happened, and happened and happened and it’s happening right now. Every evil you can imagine is happening right at this very moment in time. Good chance its happening right next door, or in...

Sweet Cruelty
SWEET Cruelty, SWEET Cruelty leave me be
SWEET Cruelty, SWEET Cruelty let me be free
SWEET Cruelty, SWEET Cruelty how I'm addicted to my own misery.
My needle: Pain.
My drug: Pain.
My Drug pain.
MY DRUG: PAIN!
Vanity ohhh sweet sweet vanity, why have you stolen my sanity?
Why am I trapped?
What purpose is there?
A key?
A gun?
What is...a way out?
Truth?
Blissful lies told year after year?
State of mind
Grinded bones
Tireless nights
Days do not exist.
Stability, pure bullshit.
Death, a reality but a...

Blind Vulture
Everyone chases things they can't catch,
quit chasing
The soul searcher being your own vulture
circling the circle of life
killing yourself one breath at a time
Worshiping yourself at a broken shrine
your own God
hating yourself
a facade so odd
glued on masks
crying
screaming
clawing at your plastic face
trying to escape
the trap you put in place
The devil is there
staring at you in the mirror
quit chasing
The soul searcher being your own vulture
circling the circle of life
killing yourself one breath at a time
Worshiping yourself at a broken shrine
your own God
hating yourself
a facade so odd
glued on masks
crying
screaming
clawing at your plastic face
trying to escape
the trap you put in place
The devil is there
staring at you in the mirror

Thats about it
You say you don't care
yet you breath in stale air
gasping for life
saying "fuck the world"
Depressed and shit
shut the fuck up
suck it up
and live
We die more times then once
don't waste your life
on half truths
and bullet holes
yet you breath in stale air
gasping for life
saying "fuck the world"
Depressed and shit
shut the fuck up
suck it up
and live
We die more times then once
don't waste your life
on half truths
and bullet holes

What happend?
Lies told year after year
"who am I?"
you ask the mirror
"i am you"
it answers
you step back
amazed
a walking shell of a man
going crazy
Stand up
look at your past
see your mistakes
"what should have"
becomes "what could have"
choices were made.
quit chasing shadows
be you
die you
living through others
brought destruction
in your life
for once
do something
right
"who am I?"
you ask the mirror
"i am you"
it answers
you step back
amazed
a walking shell of a man
going crazy
Stand up
look at your past
see your mistakes
"what should have"
becomes "what could have"
choices were made.
quit chasing shadows
be you
die you
living through others
brought destruction
in your life
for once
do something

God Hates The World
"God Hates The World"
A 5 year old sings...
Indoctrination
in her mind it rings
How i do not blame her
with water in my eye
God hates this world
buts loves the people
and yet so much decay
what is truth
i haven't found out yet
still searching...

Deprivation? is that the word?
i think... i think... that i think

"Haiku is easy
This fucking simple look down
Right Huh? 5 7 5"
straight think cant I tnac kniht thgiarts
Damn

We are Poets!
our vein the pen
our mirror the paper
A blood spattered dream
to make persephone's come to life
into the Greek gods they truly are
simplistic abstract art into ones heart
complicated dreams a reality
making sense to the dumb
bringing feeling to the numb
our job as poets is to bring life to a dead world
filled with depravity in an never-ending void
to bring balance as a challenge
imagination our invocation
we will provoke the mad
we will soothe the sick
We...
