STILL ON THE PLANTATION
It's me again the story teller of unspoken words ✍️ that will affect you in ways that you could never truly understand, how much of what I say is the truth that subconsciously reaches into the deepness of your own mind thoughts. 🧐 For example it's something that goes far beyond this world in which one is living within now. 😞 YET it is a fact of what our lives are now and yet we still were not free, for we as slaves was set free by the same individuals, that held us in chains as our master the overseers of our lives. 🤨 Let's not forget about the hanging...

Maybe she should have asked for cereal instead
Kind of sick of my wife
This marriage is getting the best of me
All she does is complain, nag, whine and bark orders
I could divorce her
I could up & leave
I'm just lazy I guess
I zone out most of the time
I'll escape by writing poems or stories
Other times I'll exercise or go for a walk or bike ride
I always keep myself busy
I'm a perfectionist
Our home is always clean, organized and neat
She knows how well I take care of everything and knows she don't need to lift a finger
The one thing she does is cook
Very good at...

don't pretend you love my sharp edges
I'm trapped inside this misery
and I bruise the walls
with the erratic swings
of my mood
from silent to violent
and back again
I stand before you
in trepidation
wanting more
but not knowing how to ask
for the cage I've always
been desperate to escape
I too often
love the things I hate
I push you away
when I'd rather crawl beneath
your skin
dig my fingers into your mind
and see what you see
If looks could kill
I'd have killed myself
in my own reflection ...

Rotten Apples of the Sun
Sitting, looking at myself,
staring at what's on the shelf
trying hard to face the facts,
to far gone I can't look back
through my window shines the sun,
early springtime tries to come
trying hard to push this way,
through the smoke it's here to stay
be a smart man to stop now,
caught in quicksand, can't explain how
find the way to escape from,
rotten apples of the sun
Sitting, looking at myself,
staring at what's on the shelf
trying hard to face the facts,
to far gone I can't come back
be...

be a smart man to stop now,

"productive member of society"
I used to believe.... but now I just know; the juice ain't worth the squeeze in these series of shows; society is the industry with different plateaus; the moment your're conceived you don't own your soul
you yearn to feel free- in many of ways; there's a leash for each being- the collar reads slave.... a slave to your body- a slave to your mind- a slave to a system that eats you alive....
it's ALL an illusion- only ends up one way- you're a sacrificed battery- til your flesh hits the grave....

mind, body, soul....
when the shift isn't shifting, one's pouring brown liquid; one's soul and one's body hold different positions
one's body has a wishlist; one's soul wants to split this, ongoing carousell ride of wants and needs....
society projects, subjects, and torments....
one's soul wants an "out of body" experience that's "permanent".... my soul fucking hates it here....
this isn't for me; I'm just biding my time.... just getting more distant the longer i "survive...."

rewrite
you are allowed to rewrite
your story
no matter how sad, desperate
or wounded that story is now
there is nothing stopping you
expect your own imagination,
lack of free will and self
determination
the pages are blank once
more
history is
history
stay the victim if you
wish
but life really doesn't
keep accounts of
such
live with ghost in your
head if you
must
but remember
the sun has survived
millions of
years
...

Taking A Stance
You held the pad lock,
With a key gripped in your fist,
You don’t want to stop but,
I demand you unbind my wrists.
I may’ve been born into your care,
You may think you dictate my future,
Yet none of this is fair,
To that I am sure.
I am a warrior,
A fighter with knowledge and strength,
You had me living in your horrors,
But soon you shall see.
So this is the anthem I will now chant,
Listen to my footsteps as they fade,
I deserve freedom,
I will no longer stay in your shade.
Sing with me, ...
With a key gripped in your fist,
You don’t want to stop but,
I demand you unbind my wrists.
I may’ve been born into your care,

I am a warrior,
A fighter with knowledge and strength,
You had me living in your horrors,
But soon you shall see.
So this is the anthem I will now chant,
Listen to my footsteps as they fade,
I deserve freedom,
I will no longer stay in your shade.
Sing with me, ...

Descending
I've been trying to pull myself out of this hole
The harder I try the further down I go
And I just don't know
Im trapped though
I'm so low
Every direction I pick still ends up the same
I go up and Im surrounded by blame
Down only leads me to shame
Playing a rigged game
No prize to claim
I don't want to believe this is my fate
But Im caught in a weakened state
Trying not to give in to hate
Its probably too late
Too much weight
Maybe instead I should bury myself in
Cuz there's no...
The harder I try the further down I go
And I just don't know
Im trapped though
I'm so low
Every direction I pick still ends up the same
I go up and Im surrounded by blame
Down only leads me to shame
Playing a rigged game
No prize to claim
I don't want to believe this is my fate
But Im caught in a weakened state
Trying not to give in to hate
Its probably too late
Too much weight
Maybe instead I should bury myself in
Cuz there's no...

Free me
Life is the empty white pages of a book that is waiting for me, the ink to write into it
To tell the tales of my life's never ending journies
My story does not contain any fairy tales
No glass slippers or prince charming's kisses in sight
Only shoes worn down from walking in the soles of my troubles
I want to leave my mark on this world , like a shoe print painted in the sand
Please don't let the water from the shores wash it all away
Tornado in the wind, lift me off my feet and take me away
Blood flowing down my hands from fighting with my demons...
To tell the tales of my life's never ending journies
My story does not contain any fairy tales
No glass slippers or prince charming's kisses in sight
Only shoes worn down from walking in the soles of my troubles
I want to leave my mark on this world , like a shoe print painted in the sand
Please don't let the water from the shores wash it all away
Tornado in the wind, lift me off my feet and take me away
Blood flowing down my hands from fighting with my demons...

Hotel Tango
Equinox in a couple of days
finds me right back where I began
I 'm running laps to beat the band
as a professional wheel man
It's typically steady tonight
for an indian summer's eve
But during my Mary-go-rounds
there's this asshole I can't believe
The street, traffic and neon lights
have already replaced the sun
Of course the radio is broke
making all this that much more fun
And I'm braking laws like a fiend
getting from Point A to Point B
Texting and passing on the right
and my seat belt's loose - honestly
