Flying red money
The bed,
filled with green
and lots of red
Flying money,
Oh so fucking funny
hahahaha
His eyes,
filled with hate
accepting his twisted fate
Bullet holes,
opening a tunnel
filled with treasure
Her eyes,
filled with cash
ready to meet her next match
filled with green
and lots of red
Flying money,
Oh so fucking funny
hahahaha
His eyes,
filled with hate
accepting his twisted fate
Bullet holes,
opening a tunnel
filled with treasure
Her eyes,
filled with cash
ready to meet her next match

First one is
Justice

or is it just us?
Second one being
Peace

Fifth is Gender

Too lazy to live
Opening up the wallet
while doves escape for air
it realizes that suicide isn't
an option
...a cheap option really
so it stays in bed
never leaving
simply breathing,
Standing is a drag,
Eating is a drag,
Walking is a drag,
simply put
it is too lazy to live
waiting for dearest death
to engulf it in
an eternal state of laziness
while doves escape for air
it realizes that suicide isn't
an option
...a cheap option really
so it stays in bed
never leaving
simply breathing,
Standing is a drag,
Eating is a drag,
Walking is a drag,
simply put
it is too lazy to live
waiting for dearest death
to engulf it in
an eternal state of laziness

Sunflowers
Through the window
in the corner of the garden
a small patch of sunflowers grow
Scorching heat
brings an officer by
asking him about some people
He stares at the flowers
in admiration
claiming to know nothing
He gives her a sunflower
and says "give this to Fred"
while planting another seed
She leaves him be
and grabs a handful of the compost
from the flowers
Mark tells her there are ashes
along with clothing in it
not to mention the victims blood
She rushes over to him
ready...

Funny
Funny how funny things aren't really funny
joking about relationships
and the struggle with their partners
one hilarious scene
making people split no doubt
Toilet humor,
joking about the human body failing
awkward situations
that can only be wiped away with laughter
flushing all its seriousness out
Slap stick,
in its simplest form
watching people stumble over
add pies and lies
for a laugh out loud
Dark humor,
jokes about the inevitable
to counter it with light
that blinding light
its candy will bring...

Couldn't give a shit
Funny how this is
that stage where you just don't care
trying won't help us
Sure we feel better
Yay! hooray! let's sing and play
making us happy
A hollow happy
but there is an answer now
do not give a shit
Do not fake a smile
simply say "I don't care" and walk
inside they don't care
To others they will talk
their words may hurt but in time
they will see the light
It may blind at first
but the world will still be round
why try make it square?
A triangle perhaps?
whilst we drink...

The abyss
Fear itself is
nothing only fear is fear
no meaning finds it
poisoning inside
illusions each second made
the abyss lurking
gulping its many prey
deeper and deeper you go
disappearing in
nobody sees you out
a funeral body less
the empty casket
nothing only fear is fear
no meaning finds it
poisoning inside
illusions each second made
the abyss lurking
gulping its many prey
deeper and deeper you go
disappearing in
nobody sees you out
a funeral body less
the empty casket

Sharks and snakes
Why people why?
where is the love?
I don't understand it
Why do you hate sharks and snakes?
They are beautiful
They are deadly
They are seductive
and they leave you the hell alone
They have already beaten most people
by most standards
but nooo
just cause we stand on their tales
or confuse turtles for humans
we hate their guts
Snakes can not help it
if they are viewed as evil
and for what justification?
all because a God said so?
the same God that nearly destroyed mankind
Then there are sharks...

Questions
The problem with being different
is you view things differently
any generally accepted ideas
aren't easily accepted
their flaws are revealed
their hidden meanings
floating around
second after second
which brings a cycle
first observing
then questioning
more questioning
utter disbelief
followed by confusion
bringing my curse to full circle
questions,questions always questions
as an answer draws nearer
so do more questions
Well shit
is you view things differently
any generally accepted ideas
aren't easily accepted
their flaws are revealed
their hidden meanings
floating around
second after second
which brings a cycle
first observing
then questioning
more questioning
utter disbelief
followed by confusion
bringing my curse to full circle
questions,questions always questions
as an answer draws nearer
so do more questions
Well shit

Experiments
In area 50
not 51
51 is a publicity stunt
there are experiments
Some are to fund the military
for special soldiers or weapons
because world peace
is a joke
Some are for the rich
private funding,
indoor pools,
the go fuck yourself looks
after all people are bought
especially presidents
Others for businesses
keeping the unions away
replacing robots for organs
in profit's name
All are people
the dead are the lucky
the alive...well
they are
blinded,
bent,
twisted,
molded,...

Shopping mall
Lets explore strange
a neutral strange
yet true to its form strange
walking in a mall
with 80% of the shops rendered useless
20% being useful
...a choice could not be made
walking through the stores
walking through aisles of shit
walking through aisles of expensive shit
walking and walking
entering and leaving
The perfect summary of an imperfect life
seeking something
seeking what?
exploring a vast area
leaving no solution
Merely a distraction
a distraction enabling laughter
from a strange...

Branches of madness
stemming from the same source
and no better than the latter
come two branches
of a known tree in Eden
known for its knowledge
The first branch is
single madness
a broken branch
broken by others
offering to help
yet standing on it
to truly break it
It is underrated with its change unseen
only until it changes the whole tree
The second branch
is not one branch
but many capable of mayhem
only known to stop a storm
Both aren't evil nor good
after all they are only branches
and no better than the latter
come two branches
of a known tree in Eden
known for its knowledge
The first branch is
single madness
a broken branch
broken by others
offering to help
yet standing on it
to truly break it
It is underrated with its change unseen
only until it changes the whole tree
The second branch
is not one branch
but many capable of mayhem
only known to stop a storm
Both aren't evil nor good
after all they are only branches
