With More Than Our Eyes
Heartache
Heartbreak
What will it take?
We separate
Only for the cause of hate
And even tho I try
Not to cry
I always will
For people spill
The blood of others for no good reason
It has always been
That we can’t see with more than our eyes
Why do we do more than despise?
To kill
At will
Another
For being who they are
We brought others from afar
Sold them on the block
In one great flock
Or...

Whose your god now
My god is black steel
Loaded
When I place it in your mouth you will agree

The Night Before
You pay attention long enough
keep your ears open
and mouth shut
there will be truths
that haunt you
as ghosts
You’ll be in a grocery store
or a social gathering
and such a truth emerges
wrapping around your ear canal
until the tunnel of listening
begins to close
No one you know
will be able to reach
the deepest chamber of your heart
sitting amid all that silence
She leans over and says
"Such a shame, isn’t it?
But you know
it’s not the gun’s fault ...
keep your ears open
and mouth shut
there will be truths
that haunt you
as ghosts
You’ll be in a grocery store
or a social gathering
and such a truth emerges
wrapping around your ear canal
until the tunnel of listening
begins to close
No one you know
will be able to reach
the deepest chamber of your heart
sitting amid all that silence
She leans over and says
"Such a shame, isn’t it?
But you know
it’s not the gun’s fault ...

Proud Boys
The far right gobshite fears to be replaced
and that's a plan that's worth a damn to me.
Then gone would be another dude disgraced
by bogus claims...of white supremacy.
The far right gobshite places all the blame
on all the folks he clearly fears the most
without avowing he himself is lame...
which nullifies his bloody stupid boast.
The far right gobshite claims a list of wrongs
from the hardships he's had to undergo...
like too much rap, and cleaning his own bongs,
or admission cost at the sportsman's show......
and that's a plan that's worth a damn to me.
Then gone would be another dude disgraced
by bogus claims...of white supremacy.
The far right gobshite places all the blame
on all the folks he clearly fears the most
without avowing he himself is lame...

from the hardships he's had to undergo...

In The Shroud Of Chaos
I’m at a loss for words
When wings are given to such beautiful young birds
In remembrance of hearing their laughter, footsteps echoed in the wind
Kindred hearts, unfulfilled dreams, aspirations, with no time to defend
The mind of Satan so freely roams
Invading subways, supermarkets, schools, and even citizens’ homes
Parents, loved ones must share in the crying of tragedy’s feast
Absence of a presence to share only hushed memories in the humbling greet
Is this God’s plan the slaughter of...

Prophecy Of The Gun
it was the immaculate conception
inconceivable as it was
me being birthed from the womb
of man's ideology
motherless
never nurtured from the essence of her femininity
an umbilical cord just a figment of
my sentimental imagination
I arrive as a prophet in my own right
and though i have not walked on water
I have ceremoniously baptized countless
in pools of their own blood
for I am the axis upon which
fear and love...

Don’t forget about the dog people
Half human half bitch
Barks when I get a delivery
Back yard grass is tall
Shadow behind the trees
Emerges as I squint my eyes
Human on dogs legs
Wearing camouflage and
Strapping Ar15
Area 51 Roswell
Genetic mutant before me
Not in his birthday suit
Dog hairs on fabric
Clip is in let the anger begin
Scenic split seconds
Thunder in the living room
So you told me to stop
Firing grim reapers ...

The Founding Fathers common sense gun laws
Sure you can carry and carry concealed
muzzleloaders, for that real manly kick,
just like the Founding Fathers had conceived,
And the blunderbuss, yeah, it's a done deal
to blast George and his tax-collecting Brits.
sure you can carry and carry concealed
And military grade weapons just for the well heeled
your twelve-pounder, makes the neighbours look sick,
just like the Founding Fathers had conceived.
And for ladies, forged in...

Another Shooting
The night is falling on this consecrated ground
Tears are being shed, raining all around
No words are spoken, even if words could be found
More victims of a shooting, the bodies compound
Don't need your thoughts and prayers
Pretending that you care
Don't need your fake sympathies
Or the propaganda you'll share
Your solution is that everyone have a gun
It's an opinion you'll keep
Until you've lost your only son
And you've watched your family weep
Until you've buried your daughter
Your mother or your wife
Or witnessed...
