POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Smoke And Mirrors
A flicker of truth buried deep
Hidden secrets shadows keep
Promises woven spun with care
Illusions dancing in the air
They build a stage, a grand facade
Crafting stories to earn applause
A play of power, sharp and sly
Obvious lies unquestioned why
Beneath the surface what's inside
Lies the rot they want to hide
Smokescreens swirl, mirrors gleam
Hiding motives within the scheme
When deals are struck behind closed doors
Whose interests guard their vaulted floors
With eyes distracted...

The Art Of The Deal
Shed your countrys blood
Give away all your land
We'll take away your minerals
Do you understand
No promises for your people
There are no guarantees
You should be more grateful
And begging on your knees
For protection we won't promise
Our word's no longer good
But unless you want WW3
We recommend that you should
Surrender to this exortion
What choices do you have
You don't have the cards
You must want a bloodbath
It's our plan to make money
And pad our...

Lost In The Echo Chamber
I heard it once before
I heard it again and again
From my favorite shows
And on Facebook from my friends
Intelligent older white men
Dressed in nice expensive suits
It all makes so much sense
Even though this isn't news
They tell me what to think
They explain it really well
It's definitely legitimate
I assure you, I can tell ...

Chaotic Seizures..Her Aura Phase
Thrusting, squeezing with a rhymic pulsing
Screaming and moaning, her heart rate increased
Deja vu, her body now convulsing
Euphoric tension soon to be released
Fulfilled with a sense of intense pleasure
Tremoring and violently shaking
Releasing her body's golden treasure
Before collapsing from this love making
Pandemonium and chaos ensued
As the film crew quickly rushed to the set
Panic filled the room as the mood subdued
Still aroused I was extremely upset

Where Is My Decency..What Happened To My Empathy
I walked into a wawa the other day
In front of me standing in line
Was a homeless person
I could see the filth on their blanket
Presumably their only shelter in 30 degree temps
Their clothes were also covered in dirt
As were they
From their head to their toes
I could smell their body odor
I looked away
And tried to ignore what I saw
When I left I held the door open for them
They never said thank you
I shrugged my shoulders
And shook my head
Because I really expected them to say that
But
What...

1000 Reads..This Is Just A Test

This is an experiment
To see how fast we network
How fast can we react
If something is important
And we really need to communicate
And/or work together
Would we just ignore it
This particular write is meaningless
It makes no sense
But are we so distracted
In useless mind numbing
Unimportant garbage
That we pay more attention to trash
Than what matters

Even Shadows Are Afraid
It's a Heavenly sunny day
To embark on a forest fray
A path awaits, a hidden trail
The woods aroma I inhale
A chance to set my mind at ease
While searching for inner peace
A rock upon the flowing creek
Feeling nature I hear her speak
Babbling water, calm and serene
Refreshing moments in this dream
Tranquil echoes, the chilling breeze
Softly whistling through fallen leaves ...

Jugular
Searching for signs of life
Hunting down the darkness
His bloodied Rambo knife
Honed with precision sharpness
A vigilante disgusted
Covered in flesh and blood
Serving his system of justice
As the serrated teeth cut
The ripping of flesh and skin
Slicing slowly through her neck
Laughing with a devilish grin
Justice for the emotionally wrecked
Cutting through her jugular
Offering closure and salvation
His dripping knife blood colored
Soaked by a complex motivation

Bed Of Daffodils
Skilled hands digging the hole deep
Planting seeds to restfully sleep
Waiting for the glorious day
When inspiration takes heartache away
Sowing seeds since the beginning
Mistake after mistake is my ending
Haunted daily by memory's refraction
Paying consequences for my actions
Nourished by the rain and light
Hiding the past, my dark of night
Secrets buried way down below
Waiting for something beautiful to grow
Within this grave I plant my treasure
Beauty grows from desperate measures ...

Burn Barrel
A lifetime of memories
My trash all gathered
Searching for remedies
To heal dreams shattered
Gasoline is doused
To erase my past
A future without
Is a future that lasts
Light the matches
And smell the sulfur
Reality detaches
The pain I suffered
A quick explosion
Engulfed in flames
My mental erosion
Left me ashamed
Burn her pictures
And her apparel
Praying for scripture
From this burn barrel ...

And There I Lay
And there I lay on the ground
In a puddle of blood my body drowned
Echoing thoughts that ricochet
My lifeless body now on display
The smoking gun still in my palm
A fleeting moment of peace and calm
But then suddenly shadows appeared
My peaceful thoughts disappeared
Demonic ravenous vultures biting
My motionless body no longer fighting
Dragging my carcass across the floor
My soul now exiting heavens door
Paying for sins of my haunted past
Dreams of hell now permanently last ...

Jehovah Skinheads
(Jehovah skinheads, jehovah skinheads)
Skinheads, Jehovah witness
Brainwashed neo-nazi apprentice
Fellowship, kingdom hall
Watchtower penned for all
Swastikas, white supremacy
Fourth Reich and its legacy
Shaved heads, military clothes
Sieg Heil, neo nazi oaths
Extremism, skinhead subculture
Couldn't erase their exposure
Health issues, maybe mental
Drug abuse experimental
