Truth Serum

How real can you be with a person
bullshit aside
Put my thoughts in your head
like fuck all pride
Really real talking facts
not censored caring of perception
Offensive speaking truth
with no redacted reflection
The world’s full of dumb fucks
in howling applaud like trained seals
Passionate mesmerized in stupidity
overzealous who can’t keep it real
Let alone common sense or opinion
to decipher deceptive holes in life
As if trapdoors in a world of unknowns
is labeled in black and white
Clenched I look out at crowds livid
in savage bottled disgust
To launch chaos off to sea
with a message of distrust
My back aches at times kneeling
in unrefined new levels
To live life incognito in a world
filled with idiots and devils
Clearly I’m too brainy and clever
as you unravel intricacies of my mind
The fuck I gotta walk backwards for
to divvy layered rhetoric in rhyme
My patience so short I’m blue faced
like an ailing Papa Smurf
Intent on choking the air outta brains
in metaphoric cantankerous hurt
Some vocab can’t be dumbed down
in cartoon to spoon-feed toddlers
Like the mapped complexity of this brain
seriously why the fuck bother
I   gotta   role   so   big   no   cap
I’m   a   captain   in   real   life
Captain Caveman swinging clubs
busting heads on sight
Dummied down to the nub
just to portray the true answer in writes
A warrior with plight
and matching loaded arsenal of regarded insights
A tap dancer in camo boots with the pen
to get around worldly critical shit
Bring on the curtain call I’m more than capable
ready to call it quits
Club’s closing in go home or get the slugger
with this thought behind
Two fingers in the air
guaranteed not to be confused as a peace sign
Take that one patriotic thumb whimpering
and put it somewhere
This vigilante vent is to the world
absent of vigilant care
Demeanor V for Vendetta
until I’m proved wrong or deceased
Marks burnt on surrounding streets
were exhaust in passionate screech
Road rage was the answer
navigating dystopian fast lanes of life
We’ll get there the wrong way
or one way furious roll the dice
The world needs to amend reform
as a permanent reset or lose
Awake in political alarm of liberty bells rung
without pressing snooze
PAUSE IN THAT NIGHTMARE SCENE
BACKUP TO FILTER BREAKING NEWS
Awake in political alarm of liberty bells rung
without pressing snooze
The world needs to amend reform
as a permanent reset or lose
We’ll get there the wrong way
or one way furious roll the dice
Road rage was the answer
navigating dystopian fast lanes of life
Marks burnt on surrounding streets
were exhaust in passionate screech
Demeanor V for Vendetta
until I’m proved wrong or deceased
This vigilante vent is to the world
absent of vigilant care
Take that one patriotic thumb whimpering
and put it somewhere
