Earth Day...or Oligarchs?
Who doesn't have blood on their hands by now?
So just how useful is it to suggest...
(When everywhere men retire from the plough
To rather have munitions manifest
For a bigger yield of bones than crops
In the old world breadbasket fields
Of glorious grains and hallowed hops)...
Who faulted who with the weapon wields
In lieu of sickles and hammers at work
Instead of a bankster's dirty money
Growing some totalitarian smirk
In place of sunflower seeds and honey?
Don't they know that the wealthiest soil
Is right on top...away from...

Ghosts In The Machine
I live in a country of mass murderers and mental illness
while battling with fear and anger praying for emotional stillness
All of my life I have been French Kiss by fate
now I am sounding an alarm before it is too late
Our demonocracy on the brink of collapse because of political schisms
like racism, sexism and other "isms"
Every night I battle with my circadian rhythm
worried I am just another slave to the almighty algorithm
When AI runs the show here
from it what will we fear
Will we be hundreds of millions...

"No."
Was I just a product of regret?
pulling myself out the deep,
an ocean of things I think
were punishment for that thing...
That Word
Well, what was the Word?
was it a verb, was it in verse
was it a Word worthy
of your contempt?
Or.. was it a Word
intended to enrage
the likes of men?
Yes, I am so blessed
to know the lessons
you preach with
the back of your hand
oh so blessed
to know my only place
is in the shadows
of your ugly mess
because without the Word

Hammer on Hammer of the Witches
Section I (Inquisition & Confessions)
‘we ask all the questions here, more concerned
with what the devil does, than reading our holy text
we’ll even refer to a book, based on prolific imagination
so complex , it will make poor simple people vexed

Admit It
To hear the words coming out of her mouth that she knew I despised
Still spitting venom as the life fled from her eyes
She was a force to be reckoned with, no one could deny
As she laid there dying, she said you're dead but will not die
I felt a cold hand grip my heart in the middle of a beat
I watched as she fought for her last breath, gripping the sheets
Little did I know that I had just been cursed
Little did I know the tighten around my heart would only get worse
I watched as a small trail of blood slid down the side of her face

The OPS
How principled is the dictator that wages wars against his or her own people with a single decree
How skilled is the warrior that slaughters their own kin, cause they're unguarded without them
How discerning are the armies that wipeout entire townships and steal the commodities they exploit to outsiders
How reverent is any member of the elite that deceives the people they're sworn to protect
The sentiments of each vary but the story stays the same
The State makes a lot of money off of its poor citizens and their babies
This abrasive insane asylum we've named...

Human blind
We live in a world full of blindness,
Everyone is looking,
Yet lacking kindness,
Ignorance has made us all,
Crazy and mindless,
Nobody willing to stand up,
Instead acting spineless,
Evil has spread and started to become timeless,
People are more bothered,
That their gadgets are wireless,
It's happens more everyday,
And I'm starting to get tireless....

The Power of Knowledge
A bullet is loud
But the voices of many can be deafening
A gunshot to the head didn’t stop her
When she was just seeking an education
And the men with hatred in their heart
Awakened a hero’s noble vocation
Now she preaches and teaches empowerment
She’s against illiteracy, poverty and terrorism
Hopeful that the future will be peaceful and bright
It’s a struggle as many still face so much racism
She stands up and fights for women’s rights
On the teachings and foundations of many greats
Bringing light to young girls...

Poloticking
Not so much during the day
But I can hear it nightly
When I pull the covers over my head
And I close my eyes tightly
I'm beckoned to come near
But warned to tread lightly
I see dripping fangs
But no they don't ever want to bite me
I'm offered to converse ever so politely
One eye is revealed showing his armies mighty
A political structure designed to enticed me
Us against them is how he spliced thee
The Haves from the Have Nots keeping things spicy
The Haves are pleased but the Have Nots are feisty
They...

Open Your Eyes
Over half of what we write isn't fucking shit
We'ld rather you stab us in the fucking throat than agree with it
Disdain portrayed, uncertain aggression
How can you be assured that I've learned my lesson
As we write this shit our chest constantly swells
This bitch looks like death and fucking smells like hell
Let's take this shit to a whole different level
You're on level two, but think that you're a rebel
Where can we go without flesh
Stripped to nothing and with nothing left
The flesh is only associated with fucking emotions ...

Fist Up in the Air
Spitting the truth for some must feel like fire
The burn will their turn their stomachs into knots
It will churn and stir because it’s hard to hear
Especially when standing up for the have nots
Speaking hard facts might fall on some deaf ears
They don’t like to face reality outside the bubble
But if you take a knee or put a fist up in the air
Then suddenly they think you’re looking for trouble
Along with that fist I also like to give a middle finger
So the emotion lingers a little deeper in their minds
We’ve got to pay attention...
