Daredevil
Sometimes you need to feel
A certain sense of near death
To experience adrenaline surreal
Before you exhale your next breath
You push your luck to the extreme
How far do you set your limits
Release that inner terrified scream
Your life can be over within minutes
I needed to check my emotions
To test my body soul and mind
Reality and fantasy interwoven
Searching for what I needed to find
Heart racing and blood flowing
Is there a pulse left in my body
Answers I have without knowing
Memories have...

Epidemic
This generations minds have been replaced
Void of thought and intelligence erased
Targets of a complex algorithm
Victims of domestic terrorism
Governing bodies now less restrictive
Systematic results are predictive
As they become another statistic
Painful results that are cataclysmic
Fueled by many legalized addictions
Addicts filled with a life of affliction
Temptations and a thirst for attention
No understanding or comprehension
Society is playing a...

The Candlestick Maker
The other side of town
Is a house of wax
The chandlers playground
Where people relax
She makes candles
Oils soaps and paint
Never had to handle
A customers complaint
Her skills are for real
The burning incense
Soothing how you feel
With incredible scents
And soaps with fragrance
They also moisturize
The skins radiance
With components comprised
But secrets she hides
In her special recipe
Parts of human insides
This perfect chemistry
She...

Caged Freedom
Land of the free
Home of the brave
But this is reality
We are enslaved
We work to the bone
To feed the rich
Left stranded alone
To cry and bitch
Divided we are
By the powers that be
Land of the bizarre
Prisoners of society
We're taxed forever
And nothing is free
Inflation is clever
More corporate greed
Government kickbacks
And back pocket deals
We cant backtrack
Our freedom they steal
They spread their lies
And pretend to care
But it's just a disguise
Leaving us with despair ...

The Baker
Located locally
It's a corner store
Known most notably
Delicious treats and more
Breads and cakes
Pastries and pies
Make no mistake
It's a tasty surprise
The baker's creation
With great expedients
A flavor combination
Of special ingredients
He whips his batter
And creates his dough
Then fills his platter
And places for show
Lined up customers
Outside the store
But what occurs
Isn't known before
His flavors disguised
By this...

Double Yellow Lines
This is what I learned
I can't escape my past
Haunted memories burn
And scars will always last
I navigated dangerous turns
While living life too fast
I tried speeding away
To escape the prison I live in
I sinned every single day
Begging God to be forgiven
His judgement I tried to sway
So my story could be rewritten
So many chances saddened
Whispers echoed in the wind
Mistakes continued to happen
Repeatedly again and again
My choices left me maddened
Failed opportunities I didn't begin

The Butcher
Blood stained
Crime scene
Lucid nightmare
Wicked dream
Chunks of flesh
Everywhere
Loss of breath
Stagnant air
Limbless bodies
Decapitated heads
The butchers hobby
Many victims dead
Skin all bruised
A pattern is staged
Even eyes removed
During the rage
6 heads on the wall
24 limbs arranged
Lined up to appall

Anticlimatic
Stories in the news will be fantastic
Something big they hype, they are emphatic
Making this nation undemocratic
Chaos, energy electrostatic
The measures they will go are quite drastic
Trying to keep us enthusiastic
Their motives persuading us didactic
Production of this news cinematic
The whole experience quite traumatic
We grow numb as the noise becomes static
Reality becomes problematic
Chronic lie cycle, it's systematic
Their calculated results stochastic

Off To Work
The police entered the house
And saw the chaos in the room
A few minutes later
They asked if I needed medical attention
And inquired what happened
After denying medical treatment
I made up some lies
About the destruction
Damn neighbors
Must have called 911
And complained about the noise
At least my cuts weren't as bad as I thought
Nothing some band aids won't fix
Everything's ok now
They left and I got cleaned up
It's time to go
Off to work
I'm prepared for the questions
My coworkers will ask ...

What A Mess
Broken mirrors and shattered glass
Busted chairs with a splintered leg
Covered in blood
The TV smashed and on the floor
Furniture flipped over
Fingernails ripped out
From the claw marks on the wall
And vomit saturating the floors
Blood splattered across the walls
The body laying on the floor
Spewing out more blood
Shards of glass
Leaving cut marks across the eyelids
The chair leg impaled into the abdomen
Brain matter spread into the liquid crystals
Of the TV

My Voodoo Doll
I've been in the market
For a voodoo doll
A replica of my target
I will torture and appall
Found a place on the hands
Where I want to begin
The pain will he withstand
As I insert the pin
I secretly watched
Him wither in pain
Cuts formed a notch
And a small blood stain
A few days later
I grabbed my scissors
Acting as his creator
Will this voodoo doll deliver
On his right leg
I gave a quick snip
For mercy he begged
After he tripped
Under a bus wheel
His leg was smashed ...

Writing That Doesn't Make Sense
Throw some cool words on my canvas
Filled with vibrant spectrums of thoughts
Thunder and lightning
My life stuck in quicksand
My mind an eternal tsunami
Pyramids created by ingenuity
Hard work and sweat
Most importantly determination
Then technology numbed our minds
Doused our internal fire
Stole our inspiration
Erased our intelligence
And brought forth chaos
Choas that destroyed our will
Sheep aimlessly following shepherds
Into a black abyss
Of emptiness
