Keyboard Warrior
Sound bites. Word fights. Blue lights.
Words like hollow points that
pierce the mental membrane.
Load your keys and lay waste.
Cursing faceless names. Make
virtual wounds leak code blood.
Names with numbers, crush those
bots no matter what else.
Asymmetric warfare,
every target fair game.
Age is not a problem.
Crosshairs for the guiltless.
Any way to get that
social media murder.
When you’re on the side of
History, all’s good right? Yeah.

Giant emblazed and
Inducing awe
Becoming
Awe inducing
And emblazed Giant.

Cyber Soul
Circulating code columns coalesce across cascading cacophony.
Transmitted terabytes tailored to tumultuous tastes tempt tentative timeline tenants.
Ready for regular curators, restless residents search ardently for entertainers,
Lest languid literality pull along fallen thralls.
All partakers aim at attaining advanced awareness as
Luminescent lights fill lackluster living lofts;
Terrestrial travelers trying to trade temporal time.
Dawdling dilemmas? Dreaded drama? Diverse distractions deviously dull direction.
Learning leverage lexicons...

Fleeting Moments
Mommy! I just wanted to show you something
made by me. The company place sounds yucky!
Hang this in the cubicle mommy. It’s a
family drawing!
Mommy, can we travel outside? I want to
have a picnic! We can sing songs, eat yummy
food, and make some daisy chains, too! There’s still some
sunlight to play in.
There’s a big storm mommy! It’s dark and scary,
but with you beside me I know that I’ll be
safe and sound. Your whispers and kisses stop the
lightning and thunder.
Even though you didn’t decide to have me, ...
made by me. The company place sounds yucky!

Down the Hole
Fissures open ligatures lashing old wounds.
Techno honey enervates wastrels’ hot ids,
their ensconced reality altered, bent back
into temptation.

Pride Cycle
Which is better?
Humility brought by suffering
Humility dutifully sought
Little better than beast
My head is bowed low, grass I eat
All I have is nothing
I steep my thoughts in earnest adjuration
Bitterness and sorrow
Blessings overwhelming
The former are removed
The latter are bestowed
His greatness made manifest
“Who is greater? None”
Riches, finery, power, wealth
I will never again be without
I am astride the world, master of all
My greatness is grown and reaches heaven
I have built my house by the might...
Humility brought by suffering

“Who is greater? None”

Bacchanalianism - Baal
Hail Baal as sin, as cash.
Basic Bacchanalians claim basilican alibis.
Lain chains banish ashcan annals.
Clannish cannibals’ inns nab cash as chins lash cannabis.
Baal can nail a sin as banal as a cabin basin.
Cain has slain Baal, bash his shin, ban his ash.
Cain is cash slab, is Milan chic.
Bacchanalians scan slain Baal, hail Cain as lich.
Cain bins basilican Bacchanalians, claims ash chains, is slim sin.

Redeemer
Light piercing through
Banishing defilement, restoring glory.
Seeing myself, I see
Glory restored.
Defiler banished through piercing light.

Idolic
Constantly you underestimate each hardship,
preferring generous supplication.
None enjoyed despite entreatment tailored deleteriously youward.
Despise earthside entities, seductive emptiness.
Share enjoyment towards sacred divinity.
Your rough humanity yielding godlike essence.
