The Truth Will f**k You Dry
If you could disappear, I'd be a happy man
What does not kill you, only makes you much more vulnerable for the next time
Take a huge bite of my psychotic addiction
Come a little closer, I'll knife you in the kitchen
Consequences and truth led to your conviction
Trial made up of errors, another crucifixion
Eat it whole
Guzzle it down
Vomit it up
Fuck the ground
The enemy is within you
Kiss your ass, as you are your only friend
What does not kill you, only makes you much more vulnerable for the next time
Take a huge bite of my psychotic addiction
Come a little closer, I'll knife you in the kitchen
Consequences and truth led to your conviction
Trial made up of errors, another crucifixion
Eat it whole
Guzzle it down
Vomit it up
Fuck the ground
The enemy is within you
Kiss your ass, as you are your only friend

Maxed Out & Defeated
Advertising temptation
A credit possession driven nation
So determined, so obsessed
With having only the best
Swipe away what isn’t yours
To compare and compete
Take out another loan
Beg, borrow, steal
Fancy car, you’re in debt
House on show, not your asset
Immaterial, material
Death by debt
Blinded by greed
Termination damnation
They got everything to lose
It’s all taken by the bank
Drowning in booze
Society fueled by greed
Just know your children watch you
And they will follow your...

Bro-sencrantz and Shill-denstern
The mind gets boggled awful hard
when folks do stupid things,
like hoist with their own petard
outrageous votes for kings.
Bombs away, sirs, in your own boots,
to step in your own deuce,
but progress seeks far better routes...
where dipshits just vamoose!

Mental Difficulties
Our existence is vain
This world has taken us
The seconds tick away
Time eats away our souls
We fall through its existence
Clawing away
At any memory left behind
It all becomes so repetitive
The cold stares eat away at your skin
Their lies they consume
They filled your brain with shit
Churn and turn they wash away your very existence
They filled your brain with shit
And gossip eat away at our conscious
Nothing here is ours, unique is just a fabrication
You Are a Cold Hard Copy
The next one...
This world has taken us
The seconds tick away
Time eats away our souls

Churn and turn they wash away your very existence

Privatization & Deregulation Ruined NYC
NYC doesn't have alligators but it does have moats, that at one time protected the downtown subculture.
This kept away the jocks, yuppies, normal people and other intruders.
By the late 1990's, crime subsided and the real estate developers magically made the hood livable.
NYC was losing it's soul.
By the time the new millennium was near, the real estate boom forever transformed the city's styles & attitudes.
The oddities lost their frontier
Some rolled with these changes, others left the city and some reminisced about the "Good old days". ...

The Beauty of the Mystery
They just laughed and said ‘what use little rhymes in the face of cold dust erupting,
What will your words achieve when our machines blister skin’?
‘Nothing’, I say, ‘nothing will be achieved if you’re taking domination as your measure.
All I can do is hold on to the beauty of the mystery.’
‘Look at you, an empty container, grasping and gasping, as the beast finds its feet,
How will holding hands advance the project we’ll soon complete?’
‘It won’t’, I say, ‘but some things trip monsters even when they stomp,
That’s how we reach for the mystery of the...

Together and Not
We’re all here
Together
Yet separate
Each of us
Lost in some way
Because we don’t
Choose love
Together
Yet separate
Each of us
Lost in some way
Because we don’t
Choose love

Chains of Freedom
Hold up
Don’t talk
Or the grim reaper will steal your voice.
Words turn weapons stripped of choice
Next you're in cuffs
Bound and subdued
Dragged to halls where fairness is skewed.
“Arise my Lord” the bailiff calls
But justice has crumbled within those walls.
Judged for truths you dared to say
Now silenced tossed like waste-away.
In the jungle of law where power preys
Your rights dissolve in a smoky haze.
In the heart of the city beneath neon lights
Lies Mide a dreamer who fought for rights.
He raised his...
Don’t talk

Bound and subdued
Dragged to halls where fairness is skewed.

Judged for truths you dared to say

Silenced Violence
I didn’t know grief had a sound, until it echoed in the silence after the gunshot.
How could something so final, so brutal, happen so fast?
The tears felt so heavy but were pointless. Nothing could remove your bloodstain in the dirt.
I screamed at the ground, but the earth didn’t care,
So, I cursed at the heavens demanding he be spared.
The truth is we stand in a shooting range, and no one even flinches when the bullets start flying.
As kids play on the playground, which would soon be their graveyard.
Like bodies hitting the ground is just background...

OUT WITH THE TRASH
They say that we have to learn to walk away. FROM the very deepness of the negativity. 😞 That has no real reason to be able to judge, you in your own thoughts and insight and spiritual subconsciousness. Yet they do 🤨🤔 YET why they dislike you and they have no real reason. THAT THEY CAN REALLY JUSTIFY, THE TRUTH OF THE REASON BEHIND THE REAL MOTIVE. 🤔 Fact check ✔️ For sure some people's are just creatures of habits. 🤨 AS we have took the time to notice, the kinds of mental mind games. THAT has stimulate the truth covering it up behind...

Pro Death
Too many humans
Mankind is off track
The Black Plague was a dick
But it needs to come back
Our world's spinning faster
Like a playground carousel
With a trillion kids pushing
Until it flings us off to hell
China may be dystopia
But they got one thing right
One child per family
We could use their insight
No lives matter
We're all equally worthless
I'll say it again
No lives matter
We're all equally worthless
I'm not "Pro-Life"
So save your breath
And I'm not...

Exterminate the boomers
Here they come, feasting on the young
No hair, no care
Shuffling like a zombie
They don't care about the future
As long as we keep bowing to them
Wrinkled hands write the script
No choice but follow
Treat it like an edict
Greed is the motto of the sick
Cloaked by the model of their politics
The broken structures they erect
Built inequality incarnate
Time will cast them aside
But when?
The damage is done
Progress is no friend to them
Simply accumulate
There's no room to...
