Murder is natural
thinking about murder is normal
is natural
contrary to popular belief
Animals kill other animals
to thrive
and more importantly survive
If a shark murders a seal for food
we call it hunting
If two bucks fight and end up killing each other
we call it mating
The right to mate anyway mate
But with we the humans
things get more complicated
confusing
politically incorrect
and expensive
A human kills a human
we yell "murder"
be it 2nd degree or first degree
and a favourite man slaughter
Now...

SPIRITUAL POEM

I can't be a spiritual person
To have a God
Is a luxury
One that I do not have
People call it a curse
People call it a blessing
Most religions encourage ideas of peace
Yet more people have died
because of that plague
Called Religion
Is it any different to a government indoctrinating its people
Replacing textbooks for bibles
Replacing the law for the clergy
Replacing police for priests
The White House for the church
In order to keep order
It does not...

Do you ever feel angry?
Do you ever feel angry?
Trapped in a mentality of hopelessness
A blackhole of anger
Sucking your strength
Joy
and will
Unaware of the answer
Maybe it is life?
The one thing you thought
was going well
Your one hope
Your only salvation
For a sense of purpose
becomes null and void
What about the people?
People you want to socialize with
but you can not
Unaware of the reason
Perhaps there is a reason
that the very person you wish to socialize with
drives you into a fit of rage ...

Suicidal tendencies
Open the window
On floor 30
Look out the window
Lean forward
Breathe in
Breathe out
and jump
Feel the cool air
as you fly past
floors
When you hit floor 10
Grab your chest
and feel your heart explode
Hold the revolver in your hand
Load the gun
with a single bullet
Put the barrel in your mouth
and fire
Feel the sudden blast of air
fire
The bullet tearing through
the roof of the mouth
Through the flesh
then the brain
Break glass off a car
Pick up a piece ...

We're all in a cult
Sunday at 9am
Get ready for church
Why?!?
Can't I just sleep in
Please I'll be
Walk into the church
Meet and greet
People you don't know
"Hey you"
"It has been a while hey"
"We should meet up some time"
Shit!
Smile and wave
Just smile and wave
Worship
Then the pastor preaches
Then it is time for a nap to slowly ignore him
Church ends
Thought no 3
Yesss!!!
It is over!
screeching out the parking lot
We're all in a cult
We just meet up once a week...

A cycle of nothing except a cycle
Everyday starts the same
wake up
take a shower
brush teeth
go to college
go back home
fall asleep
wake up
take a shower
brush my teeth
go to college
go back home
fall asleep
wake up

brush my teeth
go to college
go back home
fall asleep
up wake
shower take
teeth brush
back go home
asleep fall
A cycle of nothingness
It can't stop
It won't stop
It just carries on
Round and round and round and round and round ...
wake up

Boredom
For those that follow me dearly
Let us take a moment to embrace my inspiration
Boredom
Some think of it as a curse
No
My good people
Those some that think it's a curse
Have not heard the gospel of boredom
The one thing that is it's saving grace
Amen!
Amen!
Amen!
Even as I write this the holy boredom
Opens my blind eyes
To see the gospel
If I am lost
It will be my guide
Amen!
Amen!
Amen!
It takes me to the promise land
The land of milk and honey
Let us take a moment to embrace my inspiration
Boredom
Some think of it as a curse
No
My good people
Those some that think it's a curse
Have not heard the gospel of boredom
The one thing that is it's saving grace
Amen!

Even as I write this the holy boredom
Opens my blind eyes

Chairs
Mankind has questioned,
poked and prodded,
scribbled notes on paper,
then asked the question
Can I sit on that?
Mankind tried sitting on cacti
Ouch!
bit prickly
Mankind tried sitting on a rock
Eh...it is a bit hard
what about grass?
Eureka! soft grass
years ticked by
the mammoth their prey
and sat in its fur
Oooh...The perfect fabric
fur+rock=chair
Over ages of time
Mankind tried and is always trying
to create the
Perfect Chair
For ultimate
Strength, ...

If it is the definition of fear
It's wrong

Appearing
Real
is only our imagination
Real, pure and uncensored fear
is real
It's as real as
the ground touching our feet
the air flowing through our hair
the food in our mouths
and the objects we see
No amount of ghosts
Demons,
God,
Orcs,
Elves,
or unicorns
Appearing in The Exorcist will change that
Real fear is knowing your fate before it happens
It can be as simple as being...

I lost my moral compass
From the age of 5 and above
I was told not to
lie
cheat
steal
punch
or look at girls underwear
Oh how the times have changed
I'm 20
and I've done almost
all of the above
Except cheat
I do not even feel bad about it
Perhaps I've lost my moral compass
By accident
Or on purpose
It don't matter
At the age of 17
You learn not to give a shit
The world is in chaos
None deny it
Very few defy it
So why not embrace it
Losing my moral compass
was and still is
the best thing ever to...

Pop up ads
Pop up ads
seems appropriate
They pop
and say "fuck you and whatever you're doing on the internet
and pay attention to our new soap"
Oh yeah
Well fuck you too!
Asshole ad!
Fuck your company
Your new line of soaps
The million dollars I've won
Those idiotic baby's
that are fucking dolls
Pop up ads
The devil himself hath not
created such a vile beast
He's probably saying
"Dam!...They beat me to it"

Halloween
Its weird to think
that Christians
Celebrate
A
Pagan
Holiday
Every other year there are holidays
all relating to Christianity
Except for Halloween
Quite possibly peoples
greatest irony
We won't blame Hollywood
Candy factory's and costume shops
For creating such a holiday
Surely they did not
create the fantasy of horror films
Surely they did not create
"Trick or treat"
Surely the costume shops
did not take advantage
of a situation
So here we are
