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.

I Called Death
I called death
he was just
Hanging around
i Invited him over
to relax
but first
i'm hungry
i think ill have toast and a bath

I Proclaim
I inhale smoke passed down by my forefathers
Their legacy long forgotten
The fire already subsided
Chains connect no more
People talk of stopping this cycle
How I need to change
So I do not make the same exact mistakes
How can I break what’s already vanished…
“Wisps oh wisps, How I reminisce of the crisp
the remnants of my families heritage!”
this one statement in stone, how I must atone
To wash bad blood so my kids can grow up
So their kids can grow up
So their kids can grow...
Their legacy long forgotten
The fire already subsided
Chains connect no more
People talk of stopping this cycle
How I need to change
So I do not make the same exact mistakes
How can I break what’s already vanished…
“Wisps oh wisps, How I reminisce of the crisp
the remnants of my families heritage!”
this one statement in stone, how I must atone
To wash bad blood so my kids can grow up
So their kids can grow up
So their kids can grow...

Oh the recklessness I've sowed
Oh the recklessness I've sowed
My mind in bliss
i switch in a split
I'm laying in tears
thinking back on all those years
i was innocent
my mind belligerent
on a ship
back and fourth, back and fourth, back and fourth
Upside-down
sailing the sky
The ground so high
i try i try i try
to maintain
my brain
my fantasy in array
Chaos and tricks
bars and bricks
my prison
my fist
my future
clenched
bloody rain
I'm drenched
pain and piss
the mist
i cannot resist
no path so seen so long i try so...

Think deep, fall into an ocean
Think deep, fall into an ocean
sink
thrown by a storm
to the shore
Clothes torn
battered
mind scattered
who am i
what am i
the expedition begins
to find oneself
Walking
dreaming
the flashbacks
the pain
the loss
the strain
Who am i and what is my name!
breathing deeply
i remember i am complete
i failed at my near last feat

Serial Killer
Blood? Doesn't exist...
it was emptied through his finger tips
Drips and drips and drips
The killer sips
drinking the warm elixir
As it enters
his innards singing solemn praises
"More" they sing "More"
How he can't ingnore
The urge
The hunger
He is god
sacrifice he yearns
Who shall be cursed?
never to return...
even as worms
nothing will be left
even in death
it was emptied through his finger tips
Drips and drips and drips
The killer sips
drinking the warm elixir
As it enters
his innards singing solemn praises
"More" they sing "More"
How he can't ingnore
The urge
The hunger
He is god
sacrifice he yearns
Who shall be cursed?
never to return...
even as worms
nothing will be left
even in death

-Sins of This Sinless Nation-
Famine is man's legacy
Look at the world chasing it's own depravity
More, more, more
Children Screaming
Rich mans ruby's gleaming
Greed is a steed
the man rides due to addictions need
feed the children, feed the children
Humans wasting time on animals?
Kids are dying...
they are dying!
Cheese burger, cheese burger
Got late night hunger?
Gluttonous Steed
Puking out that sweet sweet slimy meat
Bye me, try me,
20 bucks for a "suck and fuck"...

A Womans Love Game
My first true love how it wasn't true
my heart was cast in a witches brew
That witch, that beautiful winch
she give, she take
my devil
my snake
Slithered and withered right before my eyes
way before i was mesmerized
Fangs in my side
a poisonous lie
in her trap
A death cap
heart-black
heart-wrought
i sought true love in a deep dark space
only to be blinded by the light she replaced
my heart was cast in a witches brew
That witch, that beautiful winch
she give, she take
my devil
my snake
Slithered and withered right before my eyes
way before i was mesmerized
Fangs in my side
a poisonous lie
in her trap
A death cap
heart-black
heart-wrought
i sought true love in a deep dark space
only to be blinded by the light she replaced

I Detest What I Jest
I detest what i jest
The hypocrites laugh at the rest
We lie to ourselves
Delusions of grandeur?
We wish.
We human humans
animal to the core
licking at our own sores
Everyone is right
Everyone is wrong
Sangin' that same o'l song
"In God We Trust"
Our minds
Brainwashed puss
Deception is our reception
Dying and dining dashing and crashing to our own sexual bliss
Lies! Blood thirsty Lies!
Gossip gallops through the soul spreading like...
The hypocrites laugh at the rest
