The Doomsday Clock
Time once thought to be infinite
Now 89 seconds from midnight
Lifes design rather intricate
A story we can not rewrite
Everything's taken for granted
Approaching castrophic destruction
Reaping the seeds we planted
Feeding the greed of corruption
Global challenges like climate change
Warned by atomic scientists
Common sense is now estranged
As existential threats exist
Lies spread and government dissension
Narratives to keep us suppressed
Global...

Psychosis
I saw a car crash today
Bodies lying everywhere
Casualties on display
I couldn't help but stare
Laughing for minutes
Feeling the family pain
Emotions have their limits
Testing relationships strain
Flooded with dancing anxiety
Leading to this depression
Dealing with this reality
The sins of my confession
Thoughts filled incoherently
As I removed my clothes
I went streaking apparently
It was entertaining I suppose
Reoccuring...

It Started Out As Fun
It started out as fun
Just a few hundred bucks
Sometimes I played I won
Mostly I lost which sucks
Maybe a roll of the dice
Or a spin of the wheel
Double down once or twice
The lights and sound appeal
Adrenaline had me hooked
My heart raced extra fast
But inside I was cooked
I couldn't stop if asked
I lost all my money
But I still felt okay
Acting like it was funny
And returned another day
Searching for that streak
A chance for...

It's Getting Harder
It's getting harder
And harder
To face each day
The cards are all stacked against me
Each day an uphill climb
With obstacles and headaches
Paying for my ghosts
My past regrets
The consequences of my mistakes
I am reaping what I sowed
Its getting harder
To block out the noise
The voices are getting louder
And telling me what I should do
I already know the answer
But I'm scared
I'm afraid of the aftermath
I don't know if I have the guts
To set the world right
And pay my balance due ...
And harder
To face each day
The cards are all stacked against me
Each day an uphill climb
With obstacles and headaches
Paying for my ghosts
My past regrets
The consequences of my mistakes
I am reaping what I sowed
Its getting harder
To block out the noise
The voices are getting louder
And telling me what I should do
I already know the answer
But I'm scared
I'm afraid of the aftermath
I don't know if I have the guts
To set the world right
And pay my balance due ...

Acute World Of Geometry
In a world of shapes so neat
Where angles like to meet and greet
There's a triangle that is so sweet
Whose angles always acute, what a treat
A circles journey round and round
No corners or edges to be found
It's infinite and yet so humble
Never once does it a take a tumble
A squares life is full and right
With four angles, each a perfect sight
It's hip to be square don't you see
With equal sides it's symmetry
A rhombus walked with confidence
Its sides all equal, no...
Where angles like to meet and greet

Pigs In A Blanket
Sinderella coped with her emotions
Comforted by her princes devotion
But a fire burned over the situation
Retribution plotted with determination
Planning meticulously for revenge
The three little pigs they would avenge
A plan set forth, the trap was set
For this night they will never forget
Sinderella wandered the cold dark streets
Waiting to be spotted by the police
Slowly she pretended to stagger home
They followed closely into the unknown
She fumbled around with her keys ...
Comforted by her princes devotion
But a fire burned over the situation
Retribution plotted with determination
Planning meticulously for revenge
The three little pigs they would avenge
A plan set forth, the trap was set
For this night they will never forget
Sinderella wandered the cold dark streets
Waiting to be spotted by the police
Slowly she pretended to stagger home
They followed closely into the unknown
She fumbled around with her keys ...

Intense
They used to live in tents
Under the sky's expanse
With earth beneath their feet
In freedoms sacred dance
In harmony they thrived
With natures gentle hand
But shadows crept upon them
And darkness claimed their lands
The whispers of the wind
Once filled with ancient lore
Now carry cries of sorrow
For peace that is no more
The rivers song of life
Now tainted with regret
Their sacred grounds defiled
A loss they can't forget
The forests once their refuge
And shelter for their kin ...
Under the sky's expanse
With earth beneath their feet
In freedoms sacred dance
In harmony they thrived
With natures gentle hand
But shadows crept upon them
And darkness claimed their lands
The whispers of the wind
Once filled with ancient lore
Now carry cries of sorrow
For peace that is no more
The rivers song of life
Now tainted with regret
Their sacred grounds defiled
A loss they can't forget
The forests once their refuge
And shelter for their kin ...

When We were Younger
When we were younger skies were blue
Fields of dreams and every morning new
Laughter echoed in the fresh air
An innocent world so pure and fair
Barefoot days and summers breeze
Climbing high in whispering trees
Endless games and secret spots
Tree forts hidden in the tree tops
Stars at night a wonderous sight
Flashlight tag under the moon light
Hearts so light, no cares to bind
Innocence a treasure now hard to find
In those days so sweet and bright
Life was simple, full of light
When we were...
Fields of dreams and every morning new
Laughter echoed in the fresh air
An innocent world so pure and fair
Barefoot days and summers breeze
Climbing high in whispering trees
Endless games and secret spots
Tree forts hidden in the tree tops
Stars at night a wonderous sight
Flashlight tag under the moon light
Hearts so light, no cares to bind
Innocence a treasure now hard to find
In those days so sweet and bright
Life was simple, full of light

Cringe and Punishment
In the kingdom of Punlandia
While drinking their drafts
Joked punsters and jesters
Who loved a good laugh
They'd quip and they'd quibble
With tongues sharp as knives
Creating wordplay and puns
To the groans of their wives
"Why did the scarecrow become a politician"
One asked in jest
"Because he was outstanding in his field
You must attest"
The groans were aplenty
The cringe it did grow
As puns kept on coming
Like an unstoppable flow
"Why don't scientists trust...

the End is Near
Lost in a cycle, a circle I mean
Fighting for survival in this dream I dream
Aggravated assault, reasons unclear
Its not my fault I'm imprisoned here
While walking I've wondered rather helplessly
Left lost I've pondered is this really me
My tainted eyes and blurried vision
The truth lies hidden in what I envisioned
Desperately I stalk, voices I hear
People that talk, complexity near ...
Fighting for survival in this dream I dream

What Hell Exists Today
Waking up each day painfully
To the misery of my existence
Life looking at me disdainfully
Heart and mind fading resistance
Every minute of every day
Obstacles challenge me religiously
I just want to run away
Doubting what's real suspiciously
How is any of this possible
Having so many broken dreams
My success once felt unstoppable
Now consumed by nightmarish screams
The cards all stacked against me
Its impossible to get ahead
Walls closing in on my reality
Only ambition now is being...
To the misery of my existence
Life looking at me disdainfully
Heart and mind fading resistance
Every minute of every day
Obstacles challenge me religiously
I just want to run away
Doubting what's real suspiciously
How is any of this possible
Having so many broken dreams
My success once felt unstoppable
Now consumed by nightmarish screams
The cards all stacked against me
Its impossible to get ahead
Walls closing in on my reality
Only ambition now is being...

Prisms
Reflecting rays with refraction
Deflecting a dazzling distraction
Spectrums shower cinematic slivers
Rainbows radiate radiant rivers
Transparent triangular transmissions
Wavelengths of colors ambitions
Optics viewed through colorful beams
Dispersing images of vivid dreams
Light blinding the darks schism
Personified by projecting prisms
In colors pure the truth will gleam
Revealing more than it may seem
Deflecting a dazzling distraction
Spectrums shower cinematic slivers
Rainbows radiate radiant rivers
Transparent triangular transmissions
Wavelengths of colors ambitions
Optics viewed through colorful beams
Dispersing images of vivid dreams
Light blinding the darks schism
Personified by projecting prisms
In colors pure the truth will gleam
Revealing more than it may seem
